The Force that Determines the Form of the World

509Spiritual movement means a new change of form. We should still explain the meaning of time and movement that we come across in almost every word in this wisdom.

Indeed, you should know that spiritual movement is not like tangible movement from place to place. Rather, it refers to a new form. We denominate every new form by the title “movement.” exactly like a corporeal being that some part departed from it and moves about from place to place. Hence, the new form is called “movement” (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 9, Item 33).

We are talking about the force that determines the form of the existing world. It changes all the time, and therefore, the world is changing and so are we in this world. But it is almost impossible to explain how this happens since the very essence of the existing matter is changing, not physically but spiritually.

In spiritual matter, desires change as the basis of its existence. The meaning and the purpose of the matter is changing, and thus we feel only the consequence of this.
