The formula for change is that I change, and my change equates to the world changing. But the deeper question immediately arises—who or what changes me? This is done so that I gradually come to recognize that I am under the authority of the single upper force in existence, a force of absolute love and bestowal, which in Kabbalah we call “the Creator.” This upper force governs the world that it created, and everything I experience is its guidance. Through the inner changes I go through, I eventually come to gratitude for the path of my self-transformation, for the states I passed through, for the hand that led me.
Everyone will eventually reach this understanding. When we complete our life, we understand and realize the entire journey. And when we say that we “die,” we must clarify what that actually means. Who is it that understands? Not the body. The body can be buried or burned, it makes no difference. The one who understands is the person in their soul.
The true person is not the outer shell. The true person is the soul. This soul is not something temporary or accidental. It is not a piece of flesh. It is eternal. The soul feels everything, passes through everything, accumulates all experience, and continually draws closer to the Creator. That alone is what genuinely exists.
The body is only a covering, a garment for this inner part. It serves its role for a time and then is left behind. What remains, understands, and recognizes the Creator’s guidance through all of life’s states, is the soul, i.e., our innermost part.
