What does nature want from us? Ultimately, it wants only one thing: for us to become good and kind.
But what does it mean to be good?
It cannot simply mean pleasing the egoistic desires of everyone around us. In our present state, people want different and often contradictory things. Trying to satisfy everyone according to their current desires would be impossible. When we speak about becoming good and kind, we are speaking about reaching an entirely different level of existence.
We need to reach a state in which we see humanity as corrected, good, and perfect.
However, then an interesting question arises: Who must correct all these people?
I must.
This sounds strange. Why should I be responsible for correcting everyone? Surely I should correct myself and leave the correction of others to the Creator.
Yet according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, these are not two different corrections.
The people I see around me are a reflection of what exists within me. Therefore, correcting my relationship toward them and correcting myself are one and the same process. I cannot isolate myself from humanity and say, “I will correct myself, and everyone else can remain as they are.” My correction is realized precisely in my corrected perception of and relationship toward others.
This leads to an even more surprising principle: In this way, I also “correct” the Creator.
How can the Creator need correction?
We have to understand what we mean by “Creator.” In Hebrew, the word Boreh (Creator) can be understood as Bo-Reh—“come and see.” The Creator is what becomes revealed to a person through corrected qualities and relationships. Therefore, from the perspective of our attainment, we have to build this image of the Creator within ourselves.
This is why it can be said that we “create” the Creator.
As I correct my attitude toward others, I begin to reveal goodness, perfection, love, and bestowal. The more completely I correct my perception and relationships, the more completely the Creator becomes revealed to me.
Thus, the correction of myself, the correction of humanity, and the revelation of the Creator are not separate processes. They are different descriptions of the same inner transformation.
I look at humanity and see myself. I correct my relationship to what I see, and through this correction, a new picture of reality emerges. Within that corrected picture, I reveal the Creator.
This is the meaning of the remarkable statement attributed to the Creator: “You have made Me.”
We should therefore not wait for the Creator to appear somewhere outside us and correct the world for us. Our work is to build the conditions for His revelation in the corrected connection between us.
