In the spiritual world, the desires (still, vegetative, animate, speaking, and spiritual) create the worlds&nbsp;<em>Adam Kadmon<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yetzira<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Assiya.<\/em>&nbsp;In the physical world, they create minerals, plants, animals, people, and people with \u201cpoints in their hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The physical world was created when the soul of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em><em>ha&nbsp;<\/em><em>Rishon&nbsp;<\/em>shattered. In that state, all the desires began to appear one by one from light to heavy, from still to spiritual, creating our world phase by phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, all the degrees have already been completed except for the desire for spirituality, which is surfacing now. When we correct it, we will unite with the Creator because our desire for spirituality is actually the desire for unity with the Creator. This will be the climax of the evolutionary process of the world and of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By increasing our desire to return to our spiritual root, we build a spiritual&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>. The Surrounding Light corrects the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;and develops it. Each new level of development evokes a new&nbsp;<em>Reshimo<\/em>, a record of a past state that we had already experienced when we were more corrected. Eventually, the Surrounding Light corrects the whole&nbsp;<em>Kli,<\/em>&nbsp;and the soul of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em><em>ha&nbsp;<\/em><em>Rishon&nbsp;<\/em>is reunited with all its parts and with the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this process leads to a question: if the&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>are recorded within me, and if the states are evoked and experienced within me, too, then where is the objective reality in all of this? If another person has different&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>, does that mean that he or she is living in a different world than mine? And what about the spiritual worlds, where do they exist, if everything exists within me? Moreover, where is the Creator\u2019s home? Keep reading, the next chapter will answer all these questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The physical world evolves by the same order of degrees as the spiritual world, through a pyramid of desires.
