When engaging in virtual space, you interact with a group that seems to exist outside of you. But in reality, it is your personal Kli, your personal desires, your soul. Because apart from the environment, apart from the entire world, which is actually this very domain of your soul, there is only the point in the heart, only this spiritual gene (Reshimo).

Everything else in the world apart from this point that exists outside of it is what you currently perceive as yourself; this is your informational data.

Thus our entire world is intentionally presented to us as something external and even opposed to us so that by initially relating to it egoistically, we gradually begin to transform it into ourselves, to draw it in, to absorb it in an altruistic way, wanting to give to it. In other words, I can connect with the world to the extent that I am ready to give to it, to belong to it, to love it.

The same applies to the group. I deliberately create a virtual force composed of many forces, influences, and qualities outside of me, which then begins to actively work in relation to me.

That is, the entire world is now embedded in this simulator, in this testing ground, where I begin to refine myself through all the texts, all the articles, and all the Kabbalistic principles in relation to the group or the world. Over time, the entire world will enter this simulator. The point is that in the end, we will build the society of the future within a virtual space.

This means that I am now starting to program myself for spiritual assent. This is precisely what Kabbalah demands. It is our most real work, and it is not detached from life. Here, I study my own qualities; I act as my own inner psychologist. Baal HaSulam always endorsed corporeal psychology.

The group stimulates me. On the other hand, while I may be able to program myself to some extent at certain stages or participate in shaping my own steps by selecting different options, there is still a division of psychologists, ideologists, and programmers who continuously develop this system. And in this process, I too can actively take part.

I see in this collective action, in this game, a very clear realization of our movement toward the Creator because at the very least, you have something tangible in your hands: your relationship with the group and the group’s relationship with you. Each of us perceives our environment as something external, and together we deliberate on how to awaken one another.

This is a system that stands between the group and each of us. And we will be the ones to program our relationships with the group. We will have control over how the group influences the individual and how the individual should respond to this influence.

For now, this is the only vision I have for implementing the principles outlined in the writings of Rabash. He is practically the only Kabbalist who has provided us with a detailed description of the relationship between a person and the group—relationships that serve as the primary tool for achieving the purpose of creation.
