Each person can influence the whole world, both positively and negatively. This is a consequence of the interpenetration of souls and the breaking of a single Kli of creation called the common soul of Adam HaRishon.

Initially we existed in a wonderful union in it that was created by the light. In its presence, all desires were suppressed, sweetened, combined and, of course, were in the intention of bestowing to each other. All this was a manifestation of the light, which thus supported these desires from the moment it created them.

Then the shattering occurred. That is, the light departing from the Kli led to the fact that the Kli remained in its natural properties, in its nature, which had never happened before.

It was discovered that the nature of creation is the desire to enjoy. Since the creation does not feel the light, the nature of the giver, it begins to exist within itself, immersed in itself, and of course thinks, checks, and makes calculations only in accordance with the desire to receive, each according to one’s own desire.

Then a shattering occurred between all desires that once felt united, like one organism in which various organs function together and think only of helping others. It was clear to them this was one system that cannot exist any other way.

Suddenly a desire erupted in everyone, a desire unrelated to the desires of others. Everyone began to care only about their personal existence. Thus, there was a breakage among all parts of the common soul, the common Kli of Adam HaRishon.
