Seeing Through the Walls
…When G-d created the world, He created the angel of death on the very first day… as it is written, “And darkness was upon the face of the abyss”. Man was created only on the sixth day, and it is a plot that was contrived against him that he is the one who brought death upon the world, as it is written, “For on the day that you eat from it, you shall die”.… Hence (it says in Psalms 66:5): “His fearsome plot upon the children of man.” (Midrash Tanchuma)
Torah is the Blueprint for Creation. As a blueprint precedes the building of a house, Torah – and Kabbalah – preceded and informed the creation of the world.
And in the very first chapter of the Blueprint, the story of Creation describes the fall of man. This steep plummet from light into darkness affected every aspect of existence. Despite the fact that with it the potential for death and incalculable suffering was introduced into the world, because it is part of the Blueprint, it is a inevitable and fundamental part of G-d’s plan for Creation – it had to be.
Death, and the sin that precipitated it, was a precondition necessary to fulfill the purpose for Creation. Only through internalizing the darkness, the all-too-intimate experience of being separate, impermanent, small, and alone, could we slowly, over the course of millions of choices over thousands of years, begin to make that darkness shine. Our darkness is upfront and personal. That’s why we have so much power to turn it into light.
Making the Darkness Shine
Each and every time you make the choice to transcend your limited perceptions, open your mind and heart to the bigger, deeper truth of G-d’s perspective, become more aware of the Divine hand concealed within the glove of our world, you use your power of daat, attachment, to broaden your capacity to see through the walls of exile.
In a general sense, this happens through learning Torah, especially Kabbalah and Chassidut, and through doing the mitzvos. Torah gives us access to the wisdom of the Blueprint, and transforms and expands the capacity of the linear human mind to perceive non-linear Divine Truth. Mitzvos, on the other hand, aren’t limited even by the mind. Each mitzvah is designed by the Creator to pull infinite Divine Light into the finite boundaries of the physical world, making physicality itself more and more receptive to its Divine creative Source.
But in an even more intimate and personal sense, in your ordinary individual life, you can create this transformation at any time. Each time you choose to transcend the limiting ego-based emotions that began with the eating from the Tree of Knowledge, you bring yourself and all of humanity one step closer to its fulfillment.
Whenever you choose trust instead of fear, understanding in place of anger, generosity instead of greed, love and connection instead of ego, you open your heart, transform a piece of darkness into light, and bring the whole world one step closer to its ultimate transformation.
Far from being your problem, your all-too-human flaws are in a sense your biggest asset. It is they that give you the opportunity to transform and transcend – to make the darkness shine, to elevate yourself and the world in ways that you otherwise never could. This is why they’re there in the first place.
