Against Logic
Each time a person passes through the four exiles, one corrects the addition of the desire to receive. And today, as in all the previous stages during which the soul of Adam HaRishon went through corrections, the same system operates. The force of Abraham is revealed opposite all the forces that can be corrected, but have not yet been corrected. These are called “the people of Israel.”
It is similar to the first deliverance from Egypt. Only now the clarification will take place until the same desires that are present in the people of Israel gradually become revealed throughout the entire world. But this will happen only after the people of Israel separate themselves, meaning, after all the souls isolate those desires and thoughts within themselves that they can attach to the one, unique, and unified, for there is none else besides Him.
The desires that they are able to isolate can be passed through a correction called Arvut (mutual guarantee), and in this way, they begin to work on correcting thoughts and introducing them to the idea that only one force operates in realuty, not many.
All other thoughts, called “nations of the world,” that are unable to participate in this for now, must undergo total restriction and not be used.
Thus even though it sounds illogical, the more separate the people of Israel are from all the other nations, the better it is for them—in life, in politics, in everything.
This is against the logic that only by supporting one another can everyone live and sustain their existence. But here, when they mix with others, on the contrary, it leads to adopting their worldview, their Aviut (coarseness), and their norms; it causes delays in correction, and once again pulls the category of Israel into the categories of the nations of the world.
This can only be corrected by escaping, as from Egypt, by isolating oneself with thoughts directed solely toward closeness to the Creator and unity with Him.
So the system remains the same as before. One must be merged with the idea that there is none else besides Him, that He is one, unique, and unified, and the good who does goood to both the wicked and the righteous, that is, to good and even bad desires. Whatever they may feel—good or evil—it does not matter: He brings them goodness at every moment and in every specific state.
Therefore it is necessary to separate all the desires with which one can attain adhesion to the Creator. First, the corrections are carried out by the Kabbalists, then other desires join them (these are called “the people of Israel”), and after that the nations of the world. This happens in each person, in the nation, and in the world with all nations.
