Retain the Source of What Is Happening within Oneself
A person, having placed the Creator in his empty space, begins to attribute everything to Him. But he must elevate the Creator above all his sensations and awarenesses. By so doing, he places, as it were, the power of the Creator above himself.
It turns out that in every state, when he stops feeling that everything comes from the Creator, he renews His power in his perception, sensation, and thoughts—in everything. In this way he constantly corrects more and more of the new pictures of his life, until he fills everything that is manifested inside him as the world with its source, the Creator.
And the world is called Olam, from the words “elem ve ester,” that is, “hiding.” This is the veil in which we live and that hides the source, the Creator.
To the extent that I begin to relate everything that is happening to the Creator, I build a new system of perception of the universe, a new system of true reality.
That is, through all the images passing through me, I begin to perceive and feel contact only with the Creator. And all the other images of our world gradually disappear since they do not exist at all. Therefore the world is called neelam, disappearing, non-existent, because it is only an external picture that hides the Creator behind it.
In this way I gradually reveal Him. But this is realized in each of my states, when first of all I feel: “Oh! I completely forgot that all this is drawn to me by the Creator!” And secondly, the thought arises in me: “I forgot that the fact that I have just remembered about this has also been caused by the Creator.”
After all, what I think about this, what I perceive and feel in a certain way, how I react to the world itself created by the Creator, and to my idea of Him, all this is built inside me by Him.
Where do I remain then? In fact I do not exist except for my specific efforts to retain, not the picture of everything that is happening, but its source, the Creator Himself within myself, who is the cause of everything that is happening.
