But paradoxically, this ‘lowest world’ is where all action is. This is only place where purpose of Creation can be fulfilled. This is true because of our uniquely limited nature, because of fact that we feel sourceless, solid and alone. Only we physical beings have potential to actually ‘relate’ to G-d, who is in fact, sourceless, and ‘alone’ - only reality.

Here’s paradox: As long as we are in dark, blind to our source, we remain ‘lowest world’, a world of darkness, suffering and evil.

But, when we begin to see through our own limitations to our source and purpose, we become highest. We will always maintain sense of unique ‘selfness’ and solidity that makes us human, but this ‘selfness’ will be fully illuminated by something beyond limitations of our human experience. We will gain a tangible awareness of G-d’s presence and purpose in every detail of our human lives. What initially concealed truth will ultimately reveal it.

Through this process, this physical, ‘lowest’ world will become place where G-d is most fully expressed, His true home.

This transformation is purpose of creation. You are here to take a world that is blind to truth, filled with darkness, negativity and evil, and transform it into a home for G-d. To reconnect with your source. To allow light of your soul, and awareness of your Creator, to shine through limitations of your solid, physical body and linear mind.

In embracing this mission, you will begin by transforming yourself and your environment. More and more, you will live a life that is an expression of your own highest potential. And in doing so, you will create an inhabitable world; a world that is a joy to live in, a true home.

This is ultimate win-win. And, by way, it’s ultimate reward. Kabbalah views afterlife as a temporary stopping place between one incarnation and next, where learning is processed, corrections made, and soul cleansed and refreshed. The real reward is here, on earth, as evolved souls, in transformed bodies, in a transformed world. Sharing a home with G-d.

We are in final stage of transformation process, at end of millennia of darkness and separation. It is time to reconnect with our source. Our souls sense this, even if our consciousness is a step behind. That’s why so many of us are searchers. And that’s why for first time, Divine wisdom of Kabbalah has been made available to ordinary people.

As a culture we have begun transition from blindness and self-centeredness to wisdom and purpose. We are becoming searchers. It’s possible now – with right knowledge and with sincere effort - to see through walls of our physical existence to true nature and purpose of life. To begin to know thoughts of G-d.

In this process, Kabbalah is our guide.

Kabbalah as blueprint for Creation, is inner spiritual process through which G-d creates, sustains and transforms our world. Since it is blueprint, studying Kabbalah will automatically give you insights into workings of your own soul and world around you.

And, because we are entering climax of history, path of authentic Kabbalah has been opened to every person, Jewish or otherwise, who sincerely wishes to reach his highest potential as a human being created in image of G-d.

As a side effect, it will change your world.

Before words of creation were spoken, everything existed only in a primordial state of Divine ‘nothingness’ - infinite undifferentiated potential.

But when G-d said, “Let there be light” (In Hebrew, ‘vayehi ohr’), these words became creative force that brought into being what we know as light. The same thing applies to each and every detail of creation.

Creation, however, was not a onetime event. According to Kabbalah, words of creation are being ‘spoken’ by G-d continuously. Therefore, world is being brought into being anew out of Divine ‘nothingness’ at every moment. In fact, natural state of universe is non-existence. If G-d were to stop ‘speaking’ words of creation for even an instant, whole universe would disappear as if it had never been!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

As a human being, you have been invested with power and purpose to act as a partner in creation. And as such, you are invested with same extraordinary Divine power to speak your world into existence! You have ability to create with your words; to start to bring into being what you truly want out of infinite potential of your own soul. Just as creation of universe began with words and is sustained with words, so too every creative process. The words you use actually bring things to life – and when you stop using those words, or change them, you will inevitably create something completely new.

Words of love create nurturing and connection. Words of praise inspire confidence and peace. Words of hope generate positive action. Words of encouragement bring courage into being. Words of vision cause soul to come alive.

So choose your words with care – and let there be life!
