The Creator, the originator, the upper force is an unchangeable concept. The whole reality was created with a single thought. But the question arises: did it happen at some point or has it always been there?

It is we, the creations, who live within the framework of time, and therefore it seems to us that reality is changing. But in fact, we are in a constant reality where everything, both the highest and the lowest, are in a state of final correction. And it is this entire reality that we need to reveal.

Reality itself is already perfect; there is no development in it, and nothing new arises. Changes occur only in relation to a person. This is the reality we need to uncover by finding out who we really are. Are there really so many of us, or is it all one person with so many different thoughts, desires, and actions?

From the Creator’s side, reality is constant, just as He created it. But a person has the opportunity to participate in the revelation of this reality and determine the speed and nature of its revelation, and most importantly, for whom are we making efforts, when we try to reveal this reality?

Initially, a single thought operates: the thought of creation.

“The whole of reality was emanated and created with a single thought. It is the operator; it is the very operation; it is the sought-after reward, and it is the essence of the labor” (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, “Inner Observation”).

That is, the thought includes everything, and we only need to try to join it, to want to be included in it. All our work and efforts are aimed toward this.

The Creator has revealed the thought of creation to us, that is, His attitude toward us; from His side, everything is completed. But if we strive to identify ourselves with the thought of creation, then through this we attain the Creator. By trying to reveal the thought of the Creator, we get to know Him, to feel Him, to become included in Him, to unite with Him.

He wants us to reveal this entire thought. If from our place below we rise to its height, to the root of the thought of creation, to the point in which this thought originated in the Creator, then in this way we draw closer to Him, not to the thought, but to the Creator Himself, and reveal Him.
