At present, the point in the heart within the more developed nations reveals a sense of emptiness to them, the inability to fulfill their lives through the five senses. In their despair and confusion, they turn to drugs and other escapes, seeking only to flee from reality.

We will see how Europe gradually descends into a state where even development itself comes to a halt, because there will no longer be any stimulus, any desire driving it forward. The same will become evident among Americans who speak so passionately about progress, work, and money. Gradually, we will see an entire society that no longer wishes to do anything, and this, too, is part of the process of development.

Why, then, do they not come to Kabbalah? Because their time has not yet arrived. For now, they are only beginning to discover the futility of seeking fulfillment within this world. The signs are everywhere: culture is no longer important, literature is no longer important, and even progress itself no longer seems important.

Were it not for the fear of physical survival, the world would long ago have ceased to develop altogether. Such is the path of both the individual and humanity as a whole. A person begins to feel that he cannot fulfill himself. He has no strength and no desire to do anything. He does not know what he is working for. He is confused, unable to find a direction, unable to understand what is worth striving for or searching for. He abandons everything and, naturally, loses all desire to work.

Gradually, this process will encompass the entire world until humanity discovers the pointlessness of all its development. Are we truly happier today than those who once lived in caves? In what way? Because we have a hundred television channels? Who even watches them? A person will come to feel, in every aspect of life, that nothing truly fulfills him.

All of this takes place before the point in the heart is revealed in an open and tangible form. Yet even these states are beneficial; they are stages of advancement. They are very distinct stages. Just look at how humanity has progressed over the past hundred years in its understanding of the reality it lives in.
