In a Nutshell
-
In the spiritual cycle, our souls started at being like the Creator. Then they climbed down the ladder, and now we must travel up it and become like Him again.
-
Crossing the barrier into the spiritual realm is done only through a conscious desire to be like the Creator.
-
Kabbalah allots 6,000 years for all souls to achieve correction, which can be experienced as a joyous and exciting journey or as an ordeal.
-
If we want to reach spirituality, we have to choose a spiritually supportive environment made up of friends, books, and all kinds of media.
-
Everything else is determined by the Reshimot, except for our choice of environment.
