I have to appreciate spirituality more than before. So where do I get the strength to do it? That’s what Baal HaSulam writes in his article “The Freedom. ” Only through the environment; the environment should bring me importance against my egoistic will to receive, it should give me the importance of the altruistic desire and then balance it. The environment depends on the extent to which I give myself to it in order to get help from it.
The Creator gives the will to receive, He increases it. But from the creature’s perspective, the creature doesn’t do what he must according to his only freedom of choice, he doesn’t turn to the society to receive additional forces against the growing ego. That is the meaning of preferring the human ideal. When they started turning to humanity, meaning instead of bowing before a spiritual society and receiving strength from it like they did before. The will to receive constantly grew, not just one tsunami that suddenly came. These waves come all the time. In the past they were kept, and were safe because they turned to society. Now however, it happened in such a way that they stopped turning to society.
