Why did the Creator create it so that we can awaken Him by being directed toward Him so that we can be transformed to resemble Him? What is the purpose of this?

The Creator created us with qualities vastly different from His own so that we could independently discover who we should become.

On one hand, we are meant to stand with the Creator as two interlocuters, opposite to each other, as if standing opposite each other, not in the physical sense, but in the sense of our attributes, actions, and desires. His nature and our nature must be against each other. This distinction allows us to feel that there is Him and there is me.

On the other hand, we are to reach a state of similarity to Him. To the extent of this similarity, we will begin to perceive and understand each other and form a connection. This connection will occur between two independent components: each of us and all of us together with the Creator.

We must understand that there are certain conditions with us and the Creator, which are initially set in such a way does not nullify or destroy us so that we do not succumb to His influence, and disappear in Him under His dominance or under the fact that He determines everything.

The Creator is the sole force that exists, and “There is none else besides Him.” Yet He is obligated to remain concealed and maintain a distance between us and Him to allow us to exist.

If the Creator’s influence were fully revealed, then we would simply have disappeared. It did not happen in the sense that, although the Creator created the desire to receive within Himself and began to develop it this desire would be completely under His power, and then the creation would not to exist. It would blindly fulfill the will of the Creator without even feeling that it exists.

The fact is that the existence of a person means one’s oppositeness to the upper force that creates, nurtures, and influences it in various ways. That is, if I am opposite to it, contrary to it, or disagree with it, then my “self” exists. And upon this “self” various additions can be made, called “clothing,” that make me similar to Him, even though inwardly I am not. Then I exist and He exists, and I make myself like Him to the extent that I understand Him, reveal Him, and come in contact with Him.
