In essence, mutual inclusion (hitkalelut in Hebrew – interpenetration) is the most important action, and there is nothing that can compare with it in importance. This stems from the plan of creation.

The Creator, the upper light, creates a desire to receive pleasure, which is aimed only at filling itself with everything that carries the light. It is literally enslaved by light and feels it as pleasure, as life.

In this form, this desire cannot even be called a creation because it lacks any independence; it is entirely dependent on light. Therefore, as a creation it does not yet exist, like a shadow that cannot exist independently from a person or any object that casts it.

But the Creator wants this creation to become independent like Himself. For this the creation needs to undergo a very long path that is much longer than the one that a drop of semen undergoes in transforming into a living organism.

After all, the creation was created as a shadow of light, as its imprint, as its opposite. But gradually, under the influence of light, it begins to develop.

And all its further development through the process of the expansion of the four phases of direct light, the emergence of the worlds AK (Adam Kadmon), Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, of this world, the descent of souls into our world and their ascent back occurs due to the interconnection of desire and light.

At the same time, the creation absorbs all the qualities of the Creator and becomes like Him. And moreover, since at the same time it acquires a more complex internal structure, it gains the ability to comprehend all the details of creation in all its depth.

In this way creation reveals what the Creator has done in it. By understanding itself as a derivative of the upper light, creation comes to know the Creator. It is called, “From Your actions I know You.”

And all of this is made possible by what is called mutual inclusion.
