Coupling with the Creator

The intent of the Creator from the start was to make the desire complete. However, this happens only when your intent resembles the Creator’s attribute of bestowal by your free choice. This requires transforming your will for self-enjoyment into the 

will to please the Creator. And the Creator is pleased when you
acquire His qualities.
When you acquire this intent, the desire to enjoy becomes
equal to the Creator’s desire to give. You bring yourself to
perfection by the correct use of your only attribute: the reception
of pleasure. This is a change in intent, a change in the aim of
your actions and not your actions themselves. Changing the
intent of one’s desire involves three phases:
Avoiding the use of desire in its original form.
Isolating from your desire to enjoy only those desires
that you can use in order to please the Creator.
Correcting the intention of the worthy desires
and achieving sameness with the Creator in those
desires. In Kabbalah, this is called “coupling with
the Creator” or discovering the Creator.”
In spirituality, you turn away from looking at the picture
of reality you are born with. Instead, you get to know the forces
that paint the picture. You get to know the artist. You acquire
the ability to connect to the forces that create the picture, and
ultimately to govern those forces. You begin to understand how
reality is made.
This goes for society as a whole as well as for individuals.
Today, many among us have already completed Levels 1–4 and
are now embarking on Level 5, the spiritual level. This is a time
when people will want to know what they are living for. Our next
chapter will explore key points in the evolution of Kabbalah and
their congruence with the history of humanity.
