![]() #12 The Stormy Breakthrough to New Spirituality We know from the unbroken chain of secretly-transmitted wisdom1 that there will be a spiritual rebellion in the Land of Israel and within the Jewish People in the period when the beginning of the [Jewish] national renaissance stirs into emergence. The material ease that a part of the Nation will enjoy – and also imagine that it means that they have already arrived at their final goal – will trivialize the soul, and there will come days you would not want to face.2 Aspiration towards lofty and holy ideals will completely disappear3, and, as a result, the human spirit will decline and regress. [This will last] until a tornado hits, swirling up revolutionary change; and then it will become clearly evident that the strength of the Jewish People lies in eternal holiness, in God’s light, in His Torah; in our desire for spiritual light, which is the perfect power that orchestrates all worlds and all their forces. What makes this rebellion necessary is the tendency towards the material aspect [of life] which will necessarily emerge in the totality of the [Jewish] People in an aggressive form after so many long epochs have passed during which the nation as a whole was totally stripped of the need and possibility of engaging with the material world. And when this tendency [toward materialism] gets born, it will stomp furiously and spin off storms; and these [storms] themselves are the birth pangs of the Messiah4, which will perfume the whole world through the sufferings they cause. ![]() ![]() ![]() עברית +/-
