I
will
know
the
creator
from
within
myself
(Modified
by
Dr.
Michael
Laitman)
The
Conditions
of
the
Soul
Development
Man
cannot
exist
in
our
material
world
without
some
elementary
knowledge
about
nature’s
laws,
and
of
what
is
useful
and
harmful
for
him
in
the
world
and
in
people
around
him.
Equally,
man’s
soul
cannot
exist
in
the
spiritual
world
without
the
knowledge
of
its
nature.
Three
Periods
of
Growth
of
Body
We
distinguish
three
periods
of
growth
pertaining
to
the
body:
1.
The
first
small
state
begins
with
man’s
appearance
in
the
world,
when
he
is
devoid
of
any
knowledge.
In
this
condition,
the
knowledge
necessary
for
existence
is
received
from
father
and
mother,
who
wisely
protect
their
child.
2.
The
second
small
state
is
characterized
by
the
growth
and
reception
of
the
necessary
knowledge,
which
provides
man
with
an
opportunity
to
stay
away
from
harm
and
take
care
of
himself
with
his
father’s
and
mother’s
help.
3.
The
third
adult
state
is
achieved
when
the
acquired
knowledge
provide
man
with
strength
for
independent
existence.
Soul’s
Growth
It
is
the
same
with
the
soul.
Man
goes
through
life
incarnations
until
he
apprehends
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah.
However,
the
soul
develops
not
through
accumulation
of
knowledge,
but
by
acquiring
new
altruistic
properties,
which
come
with
the
acquisition
of
knowledge
about
the
spiritual
nature.
This
way
a
child
gradually
gains
strength
in
correspondence
with
the
obtained
knowledge.
If
strength
precedes
the
acquisition
of
knowledge,
it
can
cause
harm.
Similarly,
unless
the
soul
possessed
the
necessary
wisdom,
it
would
certainly
harm
itself.
Therefore,
it
can
act
only
to
the
extent
of
the
acquired
knowledge.
Good
deeds
make
up
a
basis
of
the
soul’s
development.
Both
elements
-
the
knowledge
and
the
good
deeds
-
depend
on
the
study
of
Kabbalah
and
come
at
the
same
time.
Hence,
every
soul
attains
all
other
souls
from
Adam
to
the
Final
correction.
Body
and
Soul
The
body
is
an
egoistic
desire,
whose
life
is
a
sequence
of
alternating
bad
and
good
states.
In
accordance
with
the
law
of
nature,
bad
states
force
out
good
ones.
To
make
things
worse,
man
sometimes
believes
that
other
people
feel
good.
Thus
the
body
is
being
constantly
“ground”
between
the
millstones
of
bad
and
evil.
Attainment
in
the
Material
and
the
Spiritual
Everything
that
happens
to
the
body
is
determined
by
itself
and
its
nature.
The
material
reality
can
be
researched
without
the
attainment
of
its
source.
However,
the
relations
between
the
material
and
the
spiritual
determine
everything
that
occurs
with
the
soul.
The
spiritual
reality
can
be
attained
only
to
the
extent
of
the
attainment
of
its
source,
causes
and
effects.
This
way
we
grasp
the
Creator’s
greatness.
Attainment
of
Spiritual
Properties
The
person
should
reveal
two
aspects
of
the
spiritual:
The
term
“spiritual”
indicates
that
(like
air)
it
has
neither
limits
nor
form.
However,
as
the
reality
of
air
is
obvious
in
the
person’s
perception,
so
is
the
spiritual
reality.
Need
to
Attain
the
Creator
The
mind
desires
to
attain
the
Creator,
because
this
aspiration
is
imprinted
in
its
nature.
This
desire
is
not
limited
by
the
Creator’s
attainment;
it
is
manifested
with
regard
to
everything
that
is
concealed.
It
aspires
to
discover
the
mystery
of
life
incarnations,
the
secrets
kept
in
the
hearts
of
people,
etc.
The
attainment
of
the
created
beings
is
an
action
directed
at
the
surrounding
people.
If
only
one
were
created
in
the
world,
it
would
not
have
aspired
to
such
an
attainment.
The
attainment
of
the
Creator
is
an
action,
which
the
soul
makes
regarding
itself.
Its
structure,
HaVaYaH,
constitutes
the
state
in
which
it
perceives
itself
as
the
creation.
Everything
drives
it
to
the
desire
in
which
it
feels
the
Creator.
The
intensity
of
this
sensation
determines
the
soul’s
capacity.
Attainment
of
the
Creator
How
can
we
perceive
the
Creator,
if
he
has
no
material
form?
This
is
possible
only
in
a
new
awakening
desire.
Thus,
we
can
speak
about
the
spiritual
and
its
laws.
The
mind
is
defined
by
the
person’s
sensation
in
the
analysis
of
“truth
and
falsehood.”
This
is
the
Creator’s
part
given
from
above.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
imagination
and
is
exclusively
determined
by
sensations.
It
is
called
reality,
and
transpires
in
the
laws
and
modes
of
action.
This
law
is
defined
as
the
mind
itself
and
its
image,
and
is
a
part
of
the
Creator.
Hence
this
image
is
revealed
in
the
sensation
of
oneself
and
one’s
reality.
The
image
in
this
law
is
a
complete
and
constant
form
of
its
state,
which
cannot
disappear
completely
or
partially.
It
is
called
necessary
and
essential,
without
any
additions
or
reductions.
In
other
words,
if
the
Creator’s
revelation
were
a
compulsory
law,
there
would
be
no
need
for
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah.
However,
the
Creator
reveals
Himself
according
to
His
own
desire,
and
not
by
compulsion.
Attainment
is
Possible
Only
with
the
Help
of
Kabbalah
The
Creator
requires
no
philosophical
models
as
the
proof
of
His
existence.
Only
with
the
help
of
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah
will
the
Creator’s
rule
over
the
creatures
be
revealed.
The
positive
character
of
the
reality
should
stem
from
the
sensation
if
the
Creator.
It
is
called
an
absolute
realization,
and
brings
the
Creator’s
love
and
goodness;
whereas
the
dry
scholastic
knowledge
neither
elevates
nor
lowers
the
person.
The
perfect
knowledge
is
special
because
evidence
immediately
turns
to
desire.
Essence
of
Mind’s
Perception
Those
who
are
guided
by
the
mind
of
the
physical
body
do
not
aspire
to
attain
the
Creator
and
are
totally
indifferent
to
the
knowledge
of
humanity.
The
mind,
dressed
in
the
external
shell,
perceives
only
the
outward
appearance
–
man’s
body
and
his
actions.
He
does
not
think
that
it
is
insufficient.
He
is
not
troubled
by
the
lack
of
knowledge
about
the
mind
and
the
spiritual
form
of
his
fellow
creatures,
since
he
feels
no
obligation
to
know
his
neighbor
better
than
himself.
Therefore,
the
person
who
knows
well
the
laws
of
the
material
world’s
nature
will
say
that
he
knows
the
Creator
“face
to
face,”
for
he
is
merged
with
Him
in
the
equivalence
of
form
and
in
the
movements
of
his
mind.
The
essence
of
the
mind
consists
in
the
unity
of
the
spiritual
creatures.
Man’s
advantage
over
an
animal
lies
in
the
fact
that
he
has
an
organ
capable
of
uniting
all
the
spiritual
creatures
within
itsеlf.
The
advantage
of
one
person
over
another
is
in
the
force
of
attraction
as
well
as
in
the
properties
of
the
created
beings.
One
attracts
more
important
creatures;
another,
less
important
ones.
Difference
between
Spiritual
Creature
and
Conduct
-
Creatures
constitute
a
picture
generated
by
the
mind
which
remains
unchanged;
-
Conduct
depends
on
time,
place,
and
the
influence
of
the
environment.
Attractions
Accumulated
in
Man’s
Mind
The
aforementioned
preparation
called
the
human
mind
is
an
extract
of
all
the
organs
and
properties
of
his
physical
body.
It
is
superposed
on
the
first
attractions
that
were
imprinted
in
the
human
mind.
For
example,
when
a
child
observes
the
forms
of
creation
in
this
world,
one
of
them
compels
it
to
gravitate
towards
the
mind;
another
pushes
it
towards
wealth;
the
third
attracts
it
to
courage,
etc.
If
the
child
chooses
the
importance
of
knowledge,
it
means
that
it
attracts
the
good
creation
which,
later
on,
will
lead
to
good
conduct.
If
it
chooses
wealth,
the
creation
it
attracts
is
of
lesser
value.
At
a
later
stage,
one
adult
forsakes
all
material
things
and
aspires
to
the
spiritual,
while
another
chooses
knowledge.
If
the
child
cultivates
the
value
of
the
former,
it
attracts
a
beautiful
creation
to
its
mind.
Afterwards,
the
person
defines
two
types
of
knowledge
-
of
the
Creator
and
of
the
creatures.
He
checks
if
it
is
worth
receiving
a
reward
or
not.
When
all
the
pictures
are
accumulated,
the
material
they
form
is
called
the
mind.
