This Thought created Phases One through Four of the will to receive, which created the worlds&nbsp;<em>Adam Kadmon&nbsp;<\/em>through&nbsp;<em>Assiya<\/em>, which then created the soul of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em><em>ha&nbsp;<\/em><em>Rishon<\/em>, which broke into the myriad souls we have today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s very important to remember this order of creation because it reminds us that things evolve from above downward, from spiritual to corporeal, and not the other way around. In practical terms, it means that our world is created and governed by the spiritual worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, there is not a single event in our world that doesn\u2019t happen up there first. And the only difference between our world and the spiritual worlds is that events in the spiritual worlds reflect altruistic intentions, and events in our world reflect egoistic intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this cascading structure of the worlds, our world is called the \u201cworld of results\u201d of spiritual processes and occurrences. Whatever we do here has no impact of any kind on the spiritual worlds. Therefore, if we want to change anything in our world, we have to first climb to the spiritual worlds, the \u201ccontrol room\u201d of our world, and affect our world from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the beginning of the previous chapter, we wrote that before anything was created, there was the Thought of Creation.
