The Two Sides of the Same Coin

The Two Sides of the Same Coin

It is written ,”that which  has been is what shall be; and that which has been done is what shall be done; and there is nothing new under the sun”

(Koheleth 1:9).

There is nothing new under the sun, our sages write. This synchronises with what the Torah writes, that “I the LORD  do not change”. Regardless of  one’s upbringing or attainment, nothing new gets added to the endless magnificence of all creation and all that exists in it. Seen or unseen. Known or unknown. Through love or hatred, we reveal the entirety of all creation. All that is achieved is the revelation of the creator to his creatures in this world according to degrees of advancement in the quickest times, through the help of the Light that reforms, Torah or advancement through the slowest means  through the forces of nature that keep obligating us towards unity through all means possible. As it is written by our sages, that the purpose of creation is for the creator to delight his creatures through the revelation of his godliness to the created beings in this world. Meaning we only reveal that which already exists. Degrees of unity that already exists between us, little by little until we reach the end of correction, Gmar Tikkun.

It is written in the Holy Zohar that:

“When the creator created the world, he made the lower world as the upper world. He did everything one opposite the other, where each detail in the lower world has a corresponding root in the upper world. And this is his glory above and below.”

(VAYIGASH,Then Judah Approached;10-11)

The creator created the created being opposite to the light. And within the created being there is a spark of light called a point in the heart. This one system of creation includes within it, the creator and the created being. And the creator created a spice to help mould and evolve the created being towards building the capacity of similarity of form with its root, the  Creator. As it is written, I created the evil inclination and I created the Torah as a spice.

Whatever we reveal through our network of connections is one of the two parts of the system. Either the will to bestow or the will to receive and the connection between them. These are the two parts of this unending spectrum and to the extent to which we reveal the disparity of form within the connection between us, to that same extent do we become capable of balancing this disparity with building similarity of form towards the upper light. This is what keeps the world in check. The building of the right network of connections between people and through the use of the good force and the opposite force to it, we build a middle line above it to keep the entire system of nature in balance.

The Wisdom of Kabbalah which is the wisdom within which the remedy of correction of the world is contained, is the method through which all can learn and understand the dynamics of our evolution as one humanity and how we must reach our desired state of advancement.

The entire collective desire of humanity has never been more ready than it is now, towards taking the right steps to understand our nature and the purpose of creation and how we must deal with our own selves and with others. This requires action and education of the masses through it. The great Kabbalist, Baal HaSulam writes, that, only through the dissemination of this Wisdom through the masses will humanity reach redemption.
