Worlds Moving Apart

264.01The desire to enjoy determines everything for a man: what he will feel, how far he will feel the space around him, and how to name everything that he feels. Meaning, man’s desire determines his world because he cannot feel that he is beyond the desire, and therefore, it does not seem to exist for him.

Therefore, if the desire in a person is not developed, is at the inanimate degree, then his world is limited by the framework of the inanimate degree. It is like a baby whose world is tiny and does not go beyond the nursery, but it is enough for him, and he is satisfied.

So, we live in a world whose boundaries are determined by the limitations of our qualities, and we are convinced that there is nothing beyond it. Once people thought that the earth was a flat disk and the universe was a rigid sphere with the border of this world covering it like a cap above which there was nothing.

And up until now, our knowledge of the world has been limited by our attainment. Let’s hope that we will soon be able to open its borders, and then we will understand what kind of world we really are in.

Our desire to enjoy is constantly evolving, each time it pushes the limits of the reality we feel to new boundaries. We call these boundaries worlds. And since our desire develops in four degrees: 1-2-3-4, we perceive the world that seems to exist around us at four levels: 1-2-3-4.

Once upon a time, all of humanity existed as one whole, one body, but then we were shattered into many small bodies. And that is why each of us feels and perceives a different reality.

The goal is to get back into one single body, stuck together like pieces of plasticine. And in this form, we begin to feel a new, unified reality that appears real. It is dominated by one upper force that controls this reality and supports it. And there is no great multitude of forces as each fragment feels it. To come to this connection is the goal of our work and development.

We existed as one common body that broke into a great many fragments as a result of the Big Bang. And if we strive to return to this state of unity, then we begin to feel a single, increasingly unified force, as well as to gain understanding, attainment. The whole history of mankind and modern reality with its problems and wars is intended only to bring us to the realization of the need to unite. Nature pushes us to this.

And the more we all get closer to each other and feel more and more clearly our duty to connect, we begin to understand the inner force that controls us, brings us closer, fills us, and eventually leading to the attainment of true reality.

First Exercise According to The Book of Zohar

528.03Imagine that you are standing at a crossroads: If you go left, it is for your own sake, and if you go right, it is for the sake of the Creator. How can you choose the correct intention in order to go in the direction of bestowal?

We must yearn for bestowal and try to reach it by all means. Then the Creator will always correct us and teach us how to do it. The main thing is to act together with the friends and look for forms of connection between us that will give us a feeling of coming closer to the Creator.

Let’s create such a unity in which our inner connection will be able to reveal the form of the Creator, His quality, and His character to us. The more we move in this direction day by day, the better we will begin to understand who the Creator is and who we are, what distance separates us, and what we need to do in order to come a little closer to Him.

Every day, every moment when we yearn to connect, we must check whether the form of our connection is becoming more and more true, in mutual bestowal to each other. This is the very first exercise that The Zohar gives us: to connect in a ten and reach such mutual bestowal and mutual connection that approaches the form of the Shechinah.

This does not mean physical distance, but rather a feeling of inner, spiritual closeness.

But we are not required to reach this correct intention ourselves; the main thing is to search for it. The most important thing is the search, the questions, the inner regret that we are not able to come to it. From this, a prayer will be born that will help us reach the desired goal.

The Creator must arrange the desire for us, and He also arranges its fulfillment, the answer to it. We just need to be searching.
