Comment: According to Kabbalah, everything consists of 613 desires. Every element that I see consists of different combinatorics of 613 desires.

My Response: Not just any object, but a person! Every human consists of a combination of 613 desires. We don’t talk about anyone besides him because all the inanimate, vegetative, and animal elements that seem to exist outside of us are also our desires.

Question: How, for example, can a stone be viewed in relation to our desires?

Answer: Very simply, my desire of the inanimate level draws such an object to me, and evokes in me the feeling of this object.

Question: That is, a stone is, in principle, one desire?

Answer: No, it is the sum of my 613 desires, which are currently at the inanimate level of development and appear to me in this form. The combination of various partial vectors adds up to a vector of such a level designated as a stone in me.

For example, behind the image on your computer screen, there are also vectors.

Now you see me on the monitor and then in your head. In the same way, the picture of the world is drawn by vectors in our heads. What about the monitor? The monitor (screen) is inside us, but we don’t feel it; it seems as if everything happens outside.

And why was this done, this “outside” orientation? Mainly so that we can work with our egoism until this supposedly external vision becomes our internal one.
