It is now incumbent upon us, this tiny remnant, to right the
wrong (i.e., the mechanical observance of precepts and the
indifference to Kabbalah).
If every one of us takes upon himself with all his soul and mind to
enhance the inner aspect of the Torah and to give it its rightful place,
then each of us will strengthen the inner part within him and in the
whole world.
Then our inner part and the inner part of the whole world, meaning
the righteous of the nations of the world, those that aspire to the
Creator (and wish to justify His actions) unite in such a joint effort that
they will correct the world. A correct pyramid construction will be created
in which the pure vessels will be at the top, and the coarse vessels
will be at the bottom, so that we will draw on ourselves the Upper light.
In this way, the Upper light will be manifested in all the Kelim of
HaBaD, HaGaT, and NHY, in all souls. Through us it will reach the rest
of the world’s vessels. Nature on all of its levels, the still, vegetative, animal,
and naturally, human, will be good and prosperous. It will receive
the spiritual fulfillment that it needs, rise to the level of the Creator, and
we will achieve the Purpose of creation.
It depends on how quickly we will accomplish this task in the 236
years left until the end of the 6000-year period starting from where we
are now. Instead of it being a path of development of the Kelim, it will
turn into a path of compulsion by the absence of light, i.e., a path of
horrific suffering. The Holocaust and the two world wars may be just a
beginning.
Baal HaSulam speaks of the third and the fourth world wars.
Already in 1934-1936 he was writing about a neutron bomb. One can
find it in his manuscripts. He gives many things different names, but
actually he writes about the destructive forces that will be in man’s
hands in the future. It is in our power to prevent all this; it depends
