“The whole earth is full of the glory of the Creator” is the very first, obligatory, and unchangeable law, which says that the Creator fills the whole world, moves and controls everything. Only one force operates in all of reality, and there is nothing else besides it.
We need to take this statement as an axiom and as a primary law that is revealed to us gradually, step by step. As we establish connection with spiritual nature, we reveal this truth that the earth is full of His glory.
From the very beginning we need to attune ourselves to the fact that we are striving to reveal this law. All the events of our life have only one cause; everything that happens to us at every second is arranged by the Creator, and there is none else besides Him.
It is said that “the earth is full of His glory,” because earth (Eretz) means desire (Ratzon). The Creator creates this desire and renews it day by day, every moment. Therefore we see nothing but the actions of the Creator.
If we have thoughts that someone else is doing something other than the Creator, then this is wrong. He alone has done, is doing, and will do all the actions that occur in our lives. Therefore, this condition, this law, this principle, must enter into our lives in all possible situations so that we do not see or feel anything except the Creator.
All our desires are full of the presence of the Creator in all possible forms, and in essence, we feel only Him. There is no one else who can fulfill our desires. We cannot even doubt for a second that we have received something not from the Creator because this simply cannot be.
We are inside the Creator and we reveal only Him. There is none else; only one Creator Himself fills the whole world. When we discover this fully, it is called the complete faith of a person in his Creator.

The main work of a person is only to be rewarded with feeling the Creator, that is, to feel that He exists and fills the entire reality. There is none else besides Him; there is only the Creator, and we are inside Him. The whole purpose of our studies and our entire life is to come to the feeling that we exist inside the Creator and we do not need anything else.
Eventually everyone will come to this; the difference is only in the number of cycles of life that will be required for this. But in the end, everyone will reach the purpose of creation and the purpose of their life. That is, they will discover that there is only one upper force, and we live only to reveal it.
Faith in the Creator means to feel Him. To believe is to feel. It is not like in our world where I can believe in what I do not see and do not feel in any way. In spiritual reality, believing is equivalent to feeling, revealing, and seeing.
We need nothing apart from this, and only toward this purpose are we directed throughout our lives. It seems to us that at every step something confuses us and distracts us from it. But this is done on purpose to give us the right direction to reveal the Creator from all this shattered creation.
That is why we circle and wander and encounter shattering after shattering, until we reach a state in which the Creator will finally be revealed. The Creator confuses a person, and He also leads a person out of the confusion and leads one through all these states, as if on dry land between the raging waves of the parted sea.
This is how we grow until we begin to understand and feel this system within which the Creator is concealed. Then we will see that it is precisely due to all the states we have passed through that we eventually managed to reveal the Creator and adhere to Him.
Thus, the Creator teaches us in the same way as we buy toys for our children each according to his age so that the child can play and develop, improve, strengthen their health, and gain experience that helps in life. That is how the Creator develops us.
That is why we go through so many circles of life. Despite the fact that we do not really understand what is happening to us in them, all human lives are a sequence of actions of the Creator who guides us through all these states so that we understand, feel, learn and are ready to perceive life correctly, that is, to reveal the Creator in full.
If a person wants to move toward the Creator, he needs a group of friends, ten people who aim for the same goal. He must stick to the ten and all the time check himself how he can integrate with the ten even more and help his friends so that everyone adheres to each other.
A person should make efforts not to forget that all the disturbances are given to us only in order to tie us even more to the process that we have to go through, that is, to reveal the Creator from each confused state.

The work that a person has to do in this life is called from Lo Lishma to come to Lishma, that is, to rise to bestowal from the beastly state, which is called Lo Lishma.
However, Lo Lishma is also a high degree in comparison to the life of an ordinary person in this world who does not understand where he is, what he lives for, and for whom life is determined only by the demands of his body.
But at some point, development brings a person to a state called Lo Lishma. This is a very important period, which is actually even more significant than our idea of the state of Lishma.
In the state of Lo Lishma we do not yet reveal the Creator and we do not feel our connection with Him or our mutual bestowal. Yet this connection already exists, only it is not face to face, but rather it is from the opposite side. It is written about this that the Creator is like a gazelle that turns its face back when it flees. It is exactly in this position that we feel ourselves in Lo Lishma.
Sometimes it seems to us that we are close to the Creator and sometimes that we are far away. In this way we gradually begin to feel changes in His attitude toward us, and this causes great changes in us. This is how the Creator teaches us to be in contact with Him in all kinds of states and actions, and brings us closer to Him.
Although the Creator seems to be running away all the time, sometimes He looks back and invites us to follow Him. And He does it again and again until a correct and constant attitude is built within us from all His actions. After all, there is nothing static in spirituality; spirituality changes every moment. If something does not change, then it is not spirituality but corporeality.
Spirituality always brings changes in our relationship with the Creator. We should try to follow Him and react to all the changes we receive from Him, and so we will come from Lo Lishma to Lishma. Lo Lishma is a very important state, and it is necessary to know how to use it in order to then enter into Lishma.
