Comment: You say that every man has an inner woman.

My Response: Yes, that is his desire. The point is that in our world, we are divided into different parts: men, women, children, and the elderly. In the spiritual world, all of this exists within a single soul. It has a masculine part, a feminine part, and what they give rise to between them: the screen and the desire, Masach and Aviut. The birth of another Partzuf, another level, is like their children.

In our world, all of this has taken on a final form, which is expressed in various material objects; we need to unite them. That is, we connect with each other in families, while at the same time we are obliged to unite the feminine and masculine parts: the desires, aspirations, and goals.

Question: People often say that we are born for each other, and exist in heaven as a single whole. Does Kabbalah recognize such a concept?

Answer: Of course, people do not meet each other by chance. It is no accident that parents give birth to these particular children, that a man and woman marry, later perhaps separate, and then meet again.

This is all natural, especially today, when people have so many opportunities for contact. They travel, rush madly from one end of the world to the other, and spin everywhere.

On one hand, this connects people on a spiritual level into a single desire. On the other hand, look at their personal relationships. They marry and divorce, come together and part. All of this is aimed at quickly completing the mutual inclusion on the spiritual level that remains to be fulfilled, at transforming it from a corrupt, egoistic level to a spiritual one.

Comment: When a man and woman meet and begin to flirt, that is one level. Once they engage in intimate relations, a deeper connection forms between them, as if another kind of union occurs. They even behave differently because they are closer.

My Response: Yes, naturally, because sexual relations in our world correspond to the spiritual union, Zivug de Hakaa, in the spiritual world. At the animal level, a special type of internal contact arises. But this animal level also defines the spiritual level.

That is why I say that nowadays all kinds of chance encounters have become more frequent. This is the final stage of our earthly egoistic development; it is not moral, spiritual, or psychological development, but the stage of maturation of our desires.
