Only at the final correction, the 'Gmar Tikkun' the real life begins. All before we can call 'work in darkness'. Once we can ignite light and hold it, darkness will vanish.
We must become aware of, that there's no God existing, that cares about how much you pray or meditate, but in Kabbalah it is said, that the light does not change. This reality of infinite light only waits for us to become accessible for it. And becoming accessible means to get out of our own way. Our heart has its own intelligence and devotion, but our hearts are stuck. That's why we call it the 'stony heart'. The universe wants to flow through us, but our heart blocks this flow. That's why the only prayer in Kabbalah should be, that God replaces our heart of stone with a heart of flesh. Instead, to have a heart of utter coldness, to have a heart of warmth and love.
Our egoism exists only out of calculation of the mind. For everything we don't receive an advantage for our own sake, we won't move a finger for it. In spirituality, it is opposite. We do actions for things we don't get a reward for. And this property of sharing is called 'Binah' or the 'light of Chassadim (mercy)'. The more we share unconditionally, the more we create a steady vessel. The vessel is nothing else than our own mind. Because all the information we receive from the spiritual world is processed by the mind. Someone who is in spiritual attainment can use incomparable greater potentials of his brain. Our brains are configured to experience the transcendent reality, but because all we normally live in is our own selfishness, we only use few percent of our brains, and that's why our lives feel so extremely narrow and empty. Would we measure the brain waves of someone who has achieved unity with the divine reality, we would see, that he uses 100 percent of his brain.
Someone who manages to get out of his own skin, so to say, starts to feel the entire universe in himself. But this universe will only enter us, when we lose ourselves first. Many people confound the pathway with the purpose. They're only busy with mechanical actions, while they completely forget, what the purpose of those is, namely to get out of our own way. And when we become completely receptive, God will enter us — life itself will enter us. And when we don't fall back again into the patterns of our ego, it is called the 'Gmar Tikkun' or 'highest enlightenment'. From now on we enter a process, whose direction we ourselves never determine. Both sides vanish, the subject and the object. The observer and the observed. And now it's a life of constant blissfulness and ecstasy. It's the lost garden of Eden, which religious people always seek for in the afterlife. But we can only attain this state in this life. Because this life is all there is. And when our potential of a seed is not growing into a large tree, which is reaching towards the highest heavens, we will come here over and over again.
