All of reality was created by a single thought of the Creator. This one thought begins and concludes the entire process that creation must undergo. It is itself both the entire reality and the final reward. Everything except the desire of the Creator is contained within this thought that realizes His intention. It emanates from the Creator and within it all the created beings are manifested.

The expected reward is also embedded in it because all actions and all their outcomes are directed toward reaching the end of correction.

It is said that a person must place the Creator as a King over himself. That is, it is not enough that the Creator has prepared everything for us, the creation and its development, all that exists and will be. What matters is that the human being must also engage in the work to study the actions of the Creator and to elevate Him to the upper reality: to place Him as a King over himself.

A person strives to study creation on all its levels and through this gain the ability to connect everything to the upper force. Then he sees that this upper force is the Creator.

If one makes the correct choice and walks the correct path in the world in which he was created, he gradually reveals the force that governs this world and feels the necessity to bow before it.

As a person draws closer to nature, he discovers that within it, there is one upper force encompassing everything, including the person himself. It is this force we must reveal through our connection with one another.

In striving to come closer and unite ever more deeply with the friends, we gradually come to see that all of this has been prepared for us by the Creator and that it leads to the revelation of the Creator at the center of our unity. There is no other way.

The quality of such work elevates a person above everything else because through it, he takes steps toward resembling the Creator. When a person attains even the slightest similarity with the Creator, through his adhesion to the upper, he begins to rise toward Him. The work of connection brings us closer to the upper force.
