Throughout history, spiritual corrections occurred in order. The first to do so was a man named Abraham and a small group of his disciples. At that time, they did not need a mutual guarantee since they had a small Aviut (coarseness), and they were very close to each other since the desire to receive had not yet been revealed.

Each one of them felt the upper force, and the “advice” conveyed by Abraham was enough to be one with the Creator because they fulfilled the entire Torah due to their purity. Other nations of the world had no need for religions. In their cultures at that time there was still a certain personal attitude to nature.

Then the people of Israel descended to Egypt where they absorbed an additional desire to receive from the Egyptians.

The increase of Aviut (coarseness) in the people of Israel after their exodus from Egypt and during the period of the First and Second Temples coincided with parallel processes in other nations: Rome replaced Greece; Greek mythology collapsed along with the previous level of Aviut. In Rome, a process of forming religion began; in India—Buddha; in China—Confucius, and so on.

In other words, it is precisely the growing Aviut throughout humanity that causes the corresponding human reaction—a person begins to search.

Therefore, as their desire to receive increased, the group that had been in Dvekut (adhesion) with the Creator since the time of Abraham needed a new method to remain in that adhesion and even strengthen it, or in other words, they needed a new method in order to take another step toward returning to the state of Adam HaRishon.

Thus it became necessary for them to receive the Torah and reach a new level of connection among themselves that was different from before. They now needed a method of how to preserve the same idea of adhesion with the Creator on a new level of Aviut. This method is called the Torah.
