The Time of Togetherness

Just like our bodies, our souls can work cooperatively. We can
live as separate units, just as there are unicellular creatures,
but we all know that unicellular creatures are at the low end
of nature’s pyramid. The creatures at the top of the pyramid
are multicellular creatures. Each cell in their bodies performs
only one function, and all the cells collaborate to sustain the
organism.
Kabbalists of the past attained spirituality on their own because
they were unique souls with unique tasks, hence the fantastic
nature of their achievements. But it’s different today. Now
that Kabbalah is open to all and studied by many, it’s a safe bet
that most of us will attain nothing individually. As a unit, however,
we can achieve far more than has ever been achieved before.
For this reason, contemporary Kabbalists stress the
importance of dispersing the knowledge of Kabbalah. They want
the world to know so that more “cells” will join in the collective
work of the soul, the spiritual body.
