As people unite, they must reach such a form of unity in which a single force of nature is revealed between them according to the principle of equivalence of form. In nature, this force descends from above downward into our world, and we, for our part, need to rise toward it from below upward. If we truly make ourselves into one unified system—of desires, aspirations, and mutual responsibility—then in such a connection we will begin to feel the positive force of connection that dwells in nature.
However, if we take the idea of uniting people and detach it from the revelation of the positive unifying force, i.e., if we speak only about unity and mutual aid as slogans, without directing ourselves at the discovery of the upper force, then we immediately fall into communism, socialism, and all kinds of other similar “isms.” Such attempts always fail because they lack the essential component: alignment with the upper force of nature.
In fact, all philosophies ultimately originated in Kabbalah. Medieval philosophers wrote about this openly, as did figures such as Pico della Mirandola and later German philosophers. Likewise, all so-called religions and countless ideological movements emerged from Kabbalah in a fragmented and external form. Even social psychology and modern methods of unifying people grew out of this same root—the original Kabbalistic idea of connecting people correctly, as a means of revealing the upper force of connection that dwells in nature, and building an integral human society.
