Question: Earth is the only planet in the universe where life is possible. Nevertheless, there are areas on the globe that are uninhabitable, such as the desert. Why are there places on earth with virtually no water and conditions that are very difficult for survival?

Answer: There are places on the globe that are not intended for human existence: the north and south poles, as well as the area around the equator where deserts are mainly located. Apparently, for homeostasis and balance in nature, such extreme conditions must exist: extreme cold and extreme heat.

Similarly, one might ask why there are four seasons; would it not be better to have a constant pleasant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius? We fail to understand that external conditions are a reflection of our inner state. The same processes are happening outside as inside. Winter, summer, spring, and autumn alternate inside me—cold and hot states, states of dryness of the soul and life-giving rain.

Therefore all conditions must be perceived as necessary for a special cycle in the climate, in mood changes, in the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and in humans. The whole universe is built in four stages. After all, there are only two forces in the world: the force of giving (the property of the Creator) and the force of receiving (the property of creation), as well as the transition from one to the other and vice versa.

We cannot be in the receiving force alone; it is impossible to live in it. We are finally becoming convinced that we cannot continue to exist in such egoism. But you cannot live only in the force of bestowal either; you need to combine the two forces.

Even in the spiritual world, which is perfect, we cannot survive without egoism; we need it for the left line, to counterbalance holiness. Without it, it is impossible to study, imagine, or measure the spiritual. One is always evaluated relative to the other. Therefore we need both a plus and a minus, and to reach their correct combination.

Question: What is the inner desert?

Answer: The inner desert is hot and dry. These are very difficult conditions where there is no second force—humidity and coolness. There is no balance between the two forces; that is why it is so difficult.

In opposite conditions, when it is very cold, it is also impossible to survive. It can be 70 degrees Celsius in the desert and -70 degrees at the poles. Both are a problem.

We need to come to a balance of two opposing forces, as taught by the science of Kabbalah. Then we reach the middle line, that is, the balance between the force of giving and the force of receiving, and can live well—at peace with each other and each with himself.

If one day we manage to achieve the kind of inner correction that the science of Kabbalah talks about, we will also influence the external climate and the nature of animals, as it is said that the wolf will live peacefully next to the lamb.
