In truth, All darkness Is merely diminished light

In truth, All darkness Is merely diminished light.

Oros Hakodesh II, p. 455

Connected to the Whole

"Arrogance directly precedes the advent of the messiah." This is because the world has progressed to such a degree that it now demands an understanding of how every detail is connected to the whole. If just one detail is not connected to that great whole, the mind will not be satisfied.

We must employ the supernal medicine: an increased strength in spiritual ability—until the path toward understanding and evaluating the connection between all viewpoints and actions of the Torah and the most supernal wholeness will be a central, direct understanding within the feelings of the common people.

Arpelei Tohar, pp.1-2

This-Worldly Improvement

Out of a smallness of faith, it appears that when people strive to strengthen their situation, to war against the problems that occur in the world, to acquire knowledge, might, beauty, organization—that all this is external to the divine content in the world. But this is all a great error and a lack of faith. The pure outlook sees the divine appearance in every improvement of life: individual and general, spiritual and physical.

Arpelei Tohar, pp. 67-68

If You Desire

If you desire, human being, look at the light of God's Presence in everything. Look at the Eden of spiritual life, at how it blazes into each corner and crevice of life, spiritual and of this world, right before your eyes of flesh and your eyes of soul. Gaze at the wonders of creation, at their divine life—not like some dim phenomenon that is placed before your eyes from afar. But know the reality in which you live. Know yourself and your world.

Orot Hakodesh I, pp. 83-84
