There is nothing but one thought—the thought of creation, which includes everything. Only we, the creations, do not yet understand or feel this. But we are within this design and are governed by it. All our work takes place within it. This thought is the entire creation, its design, and there is nothing else besides it.

“Everything is resolved in thought,” and everything was created by thought. There is no matter; all of reality is encompassed in thought. Interestingly, modern scientists, being absolute materialists, say that the universe is thought. And researchers of the human brain claim that all our thoughts, desires, and decisions exist outside the person and the brain is merely an instrument that detects this thought and transmits it to us.

Thus, science is gradually approaching the fact that Kabbalists discovered long ago, that there is nothing in existence but the Creator’s design, and we exist within it. And although we divide reality into forces, matter, feelings, and intellect, in essence, only the Creator’s thought operates, and we exist within it.

We need to attain this thought of the Creator’s regarding creation, and then we will know Him, not He Himself, but His attitude toward creation. There is only this one thought. And all the various opposite qualities that we perceive are meant to reveal the depth and uniqueness of this thought.

There is none else besides Him, but we attain this fact from the reverse side, through the multitude of actions and manifestations of the Creator toward us, which are very diverse and contradictory.

And it is precisely all these paradoxes and contradictions, which do not allow us to understand or accept what is happening, that push us toward such development that, above knowledge and by uniting all opposites, we attain the Creator. It is impossible to attain Him in any other way than through two opposites that merge and complement one another.
