Our path is tied to the development of the desire for pleasure. Altogether we exist within this single, unified desire. The four phases of the expansion of the light, the worlds, the Partzufim, and the spiritual degrees are embedded within it. Everything is inside it. In other words, this desire is a composite.

We must work in faith above reason, ignoring our own feelings “like an ox to the burden and a donkey to the load.” Once domestic animals like the ox and donkey were free, living their own lives in nature with their own family, their herd. But now their entire life is devoted to fulfilling the […]
