The pleasure in itself, however, is amorphous, intangible. But covering it with different \u201cdresses,\u201d or \u201ccoatings,\u201d creates an illusion that there are different kinds of pleasure, when in fact there are many different kinds of coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that pleasure is essentially spiritual explains why we have an unconscious craving to replace the superficial coating of the pleasure with the desire to feel it in its pure, unadulterated form: the Creator\u2019s Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because we\u2019re unaware that the difference between people is in the coatings of pleasure they wish for, we judge them according to the coatings they prefer. We consider certain coatings of pleasure legitimate, such as love of children, while others, such as drugs, are considered unacceptable. When we feel an unacceptable coating for pleasure emerging in us, we are forced to conceal our desire for that coating. However, concealing a desire doesn\u2019t make it go away, and certainly doesn\u2019t correct it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>___________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve explained in the previous section, the lower part of Phase Four is the substance of the soul of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em><em>ha&nbsp;<\/em><em>Rishon<\/em>. Just as the worlds are built according to the growing desires, Adam\u2019s soul (humanity) evolved through five phases: Zero (still) through Four (spiritual).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When each phase arises, humanity experiences it to the fullest until it exhausts itself. Then, the next level of desire appears according to the sequence of&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>embedded in us. Until today, we had already experienced all the&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>of all the desires from still to speaking. All that\u2019s left for the evolution of humanity to be complete is for us to experience the spiritual desires to the fullest. Then, our unity with the Creator will be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, the appearance of desires at the fifth level began back in the 16th century, as was described by Kabbalist Isaac Luria (the Ari), but today we are witnessing the appearance of the most intense kind within the fifth level\u2014the spiritual within the spiritual. Moreover, we are witnessing its appearance in huge numbers, when millions of people the world over are seeking spiritual answers to their questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>that surface today are closer to spirituality than they previously were, the primary questions people are asking are about their origins, their roots! Although most of them have a roof over their heads and earn enough to support themselves and their families, they have questions about where they came from, by whose plan, and for what purpose. When they are not satisfied with the answers religions offer, they seek them from other disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between Phase Four and all other phases is that in this phase, we must&nbsp;<em>consciously<\/em>&nbsp;evolve. In previous phases, it was always Nature that compelled us to move from phase to phase. It did this by pressuring us enough to feel so uncomfortable in our present state that we had to change it. This is how Nature develops all of its parts: human, animate, vegetative, and even inanimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we are naturally lazy, we will only move from one state to the next when the pressure becomes intolerable. Otherwise, we wouldn\u2019t lift a finger. The logic is simple: If I\u2019m fine where I am, why move?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Nature has a different plan. Instead of allowing us to remain complacent in our present state, it wants us to evolve until we reach its own level, the level of the Creator. This is the purpose of Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have two options: we could choose to evolve through Nature\u2019s (painful) pressure, or we can evolve painlessly by participating in the development of our awareness. Remaining undeveloped is not an option, as it doesn\u2019t fit into Nature\u2019s plan when it created us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When our spiritual level begins to evolve, it can only happen if we&nbsp;<em>want<\/em>&nbsp;it to evolve and to reach the same condition as the Creator&#8217;s. Just like Phase Four in the Four Phases, we are now required to&nbsp;<em>voluntarily&nbsp;<\/em>change our desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Nature will continue pressuring us. We will continue to be struck by hurricanes, earthquakes, epidemics, terrorism, and all kinds of natural and manmade hardships until we realize that we&nbsp;<em>have<\/em>&nbsp;to change, that we must consciously return to our Root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to review: our spiritual root evolved along Phases Zero through Four; Phase Four split into worlds (its upper part) and souls (its lower part). The souls\u2014collected in the common soul of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em><em>ha&nbsp;<\/em><em>Rishon<\/em>\u2014broke off by losing their sense of oneness with the Creator. This breaking of&nbsp;<em>Adam ha Rishon<\/em>&nbsp;brought humanity to its present state, with an unseen barrier that separates the spiritual worlds (above it) from our world (below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below the barrier, the spiritual force created a corporeal particle, which began to evolve. This was the Big Bang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that when Kabbalists talk about the spiritual world and the corporeal, physical world, they are referring to altruistic or egoistic features, respectively. They&nbsp;<em>never<\/em>&nbsp;refer to worlds that take up physical space in some undiscovered universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t take a spaceship and fly to the world&nbsp;<em>Yetzira<\/em>, for example, or even discover spirituality by changing our behavior. We can only discover it by becoming altruistic\u2014similar to the Creator. When we do that, we will discover that the Creator is already within us and that He has always been here, waiting for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All degrees prior to the last evolve without awareness of their \u201cselves.\u201d In terms of our personal awareness, the fact that we exist doesn\u2019t mean that we are&nbsp;<em>aware<\/em>&nbsp;of our existence. Before we reach the fourth level, we merely exist. In other words, we live our lives as comfortably as we can, but we take our existence for granted without asking about its purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But is it really that obvious? Minerals exist so that plants can feed on them and grow; plants exist so animals can feed on them and grow; minerals, plants, and animals exist so humans can feed on them and grow. But what is the purpose of human existence? All the levels serve us, but what or whom do we serve? Ourselves? Our egos? When we first ask these questions, it is the beginning of our conscious evolution, the emergence of the desire for spirituality. This is called the \u201cpoint in the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last evolutionary degree, we begin to understand the process we are parts of. Simply put, we begin to acquire Nature\u2019s logic. The more we understand its logic, the more we expand our consciousness and integrate with it. In the end, when we have fully mastered Nature\u2019s logic, we will understand how Nature works and even learn to master it. This process occurs exclusively at the last level, the level of spiritual ascent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must always remember that our final level of human development should unfold consciously and willingly. Without an explicit desire for spiritual growth, no spiritual evolution can occur. After all, the spiritual evolution from above downward had already happened. We have been brought down the Four Phases of Light to the five worlds&nbsp;<em>Adam Kadmon<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yetzira<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Assiya<\/em>, and were finally placed here in this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we are now to climb back up the spiritual ladder, we must&nbsp;<em>choose<\/em>&nbsp;to do so. If we forget that the purpose of Creation is for us to become like the Creator, we will not understand why Nature doesn\u2019t help us\u2014and sometimes even places obstacles on our way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if, on the other hand, we keep only Nature\u2019s goal in mind, we will feel that our lives are a fascinating voyage of discovery, a spiritual treasure hunt. Moreover, the more actively we participate in this&nbsp;<em>Tour-de-Life<\/em>, the faster and easier these discoveries will come. Better yet, the hardships will be felt as questions we must answer, instead of ordeals we must face in our physical lives. This is why evolving by our own awareness is so much better than evolving only after Nature gives us a painful push from behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we have a desire to evolve in spirituality, then we have the right&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;for it, and there is no better feeling than a filled&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>, a fulfilled desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the desire for spirituality must come before the spiritual filling. Preparing the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;before the Light is not only the sole means of ascending in the fourth phase; it is also the only means in which no pain and shortage is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, if we think about it, there is nothing more natural than to prepare the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;first. If I want to drink water, then water is my light, my pleasure. Naturally, to drink water I must prepare the&nbsp;<em>(Kli<\/em>) first, which in this case will be thirst. And the same applies for anything we want to receive in this world. If a new car is my light, then my desire for it is my&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>. This&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;makes me work for the car, and ensures that I don\u2019t squander my money on other whims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only difference between a spiritual&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;and a physical one is that I don\u2019t quite know what I will receive with a spiritual&nbsp;<em>Kli.<\/em>&nbsp;I may imagine it as all kinds of things, but because there is a barrier between my present state and my desired goal, I can never really know what my goal will be like until I actually reach it. When I do reach it, it is greater than anything I could ever imagine; but I\u2019ll never know for sure how great it is until I have actually reached it. If I knew my reward in advance, it wouldn\u2019t be real altruism, but disguised egoism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>_____________________________________________________________ Different Strokes for Different Folks The only difference between people is in the way they want to experience pleasure.
