Two opposites in a single whole is the main point that defines the entrance to the upper world, to the spiritual dimension, that is, to the space where the Creator dwells, the source of the two forces.

With respect to us, they are revealed as the force of evil and the force of good—Klipa and holiness, bestowal and reception, two opposite forces. But for the Creator there is no contradiction and everything is united as one.

Only relative to us, in our perception and understanding, do they appear as two forces that contradict one another. The more we begin to perceive creation, the more distance and opposition we see between them.

Because of this we are unable to perceive the spiritual. As it is said: “In Isaac shall your seed be called, but you must sacrifice him.” One contradicts the other. On the one hand, he must be killed; on the other, he is to continue your path.

How is this possible? We cannot understand this with our earthly mind. We must attain the mind of the upper one. If we try to hold onto both principles, we draw the light that returns to the source, which builds a new reality for us. In this new space that we reveal, called the middle line, these two opposite lines can coexist as a single whole and complement each other.

This is extremely difficult to grasp, practically impossible. We need an environment and the upper light that returns to the source that will unite the two lines within the middle line. The middle line is the Creator.

The revelation of the Creator, the unity of the two opposite lines, gradually leads us to the purpose of creation, to the end of correction. Step by step, these opposites grow and unite more and more, and this is the entire work.

We have already completed sufficient preparation over many years and have gathered many people who are capable of this step. The rest will become capable of it by attaching themselves to those who have already reached the right readiness.

Thus, in our world, children who are born in the 21^st century join all the advancements achieved by previous generations, and move ahead of them because they attach to their parents and receive everything the parents have.

So it is in the Kabbalistic group. It does not matter who has advanced more or who less. If each one tries to reach the goal with all their strength and preparation, they will reach it.

I hope for you will approach this topic seriously because in the entire wisdom of Kabbalah—in spiritual work, in attaining the Creator, the upper reality and the perfection of nature—there is nothing more important than this principle of the unity of the two lines.

This integration of opposites is the spiritual space that is revealed to a person. When they enter it, they begin to feel the next world. There is no doubt that through our common efforts we are capable of advancing and achieving all of this, and pulling each person toward this degree, toward the beginning of the true spiritual ladder.

From this moment onward, we always advance in the three lines in faith above reason. Then the entire Torah and the whole world will become clear to us. All of reality begins to become clear; it divides into three lines and reveals their interaction.

For now we do not know where the plus and minus originate, nor where they lead us. But if we know how to correctly connect the opposites above this world and above earthly intellect within spiritual feeling and reason, then we attain unlimited revelation and understand how the Creator acts, what He does, what we must do to be similar to Him, to become “like gods, knowing good and evil.”
