Getting to Know the Upper Force

294.1Question: You say that there is a general law in the world. Let’s say I have never heard of it, and my own life is a mess. How can I understand and agree that there is a law behind all this? Can it be studied somehow?

Answer: We know this law “from the reverse side.” The only question is: How much longer will we have to suffer before we acknowledge it exists and that no matter what we do, nothing worthwhile comes of it.

Why is that? It means we do not see the full picture of reality; we are missing its most essential part. Our lack of understanding, perception, and connection with this part is the cause of all our failures. That is where the need arises within us to discover what we are missing.

This missing part of reality is called the upper force. If we become familiar with it, we will understand what to do. If not, we will continue to suffer even more.

The approach here is entirely pragmatic; there is no need for lofty words. It is simply about survival, about preventing total destruction.

Baal HaSulam writes that all of humanity could be reduced to just a few thousand people and they could fulfill everything that is required. This is not about bodies; that is obvious. Millions of souls can exist within a single body. All of this is highly flexible.
