To develop on the level of man
participation must be conscious,
gradually,
but ultimately, using the free will given to us,
and together investigate how to use it, why, and for what.
The real consciousness
development begins.
We live in a “bubble” of nature
the still, vegetative, and animate
development begins.
Through this, we provide for our existence.
And this environment “transmits” or arranges for us precisely those conditions that are required for our advancement.
In this way, we are given an abundance of constant changes.
Indeed, in general, it is necessary to understand
that beginning from the Big Bang this process has continued to this very day, and for its entire length,
the general power of development has moved us forward toward its goal, toward complete balance.
During the course of this process, the nature of the still, vegetative, and animate developed on the face of the earth, and after that the human species.
And at a particular moment in history, whether it wanted this or not, the human species had to take the “reins,” meaning the management tools into its hands to be properly included in the development.
From this moment on we have been involved with the process not as we were before.
Until becoming aware of the situation, we developed instinctively in a way similar to the nature of the still, vegetative, and animate, among whom there are also plenty of troubles, problems, and the pressure of circumstances, including disasters.
But the more we have developed, the more we have become linked to the process; we participate in it consciously and with understanding, and this is how we have more problems.
For now, they are contingent upon this:
Do we accept the message ourselves, or are we developing together with nature?
If so, it will be good for us, and if not, it will be bad for us,
depending on our level of development.
Natural development is generally characterized by very strict stages.
They are similar to a difficult birth, they are connected to stress, problems, and dangers, and are accompanied by dramatic natural phenomena.
For millions of years, the Earth has cooled, hardened, and again warmed, torn by the pressure of magma
Geological eras were replaced, the nature of the earth was changed, individual species died and others appeared, the warming and cooling alternated, and finally, we reached the present situation, which is not final either.
We also continue developing; moreover, it is more rapid than in previous eras.
The concepts of “divinity” and “nature” are identical, for this speaks about a power that has a precise general plan within which we must be integrated, gradually understanding and attaining it.
We must be included within it consciously and with knowledge by discovering more and more mature participation.
This integration is also recorded in it.
In this manner, I must ultimately nullify all detachment and gaps between what I feel now as self and what feels external.
My skin doesn’t separate me from the world and the environment anymore.
I reach an awareness and an understanding that everything belongs to a single unified system;
it is all the essence of the self.
The human level is like this.
Our bodies belong to the animate world,
whereas our essence belongs to the human level, which is higher.
Its uniqueness is that in it we see we perceive the world as a single whole.
In this single and unique world, we discover the unique power of nature that manages everything, and we identify and merge with it.
Adam was the first to discover this general process of evolution through which we must go, not only on the “beastly” material level but also on the human level.
Beginning with Adam, who lived 5775 years ago, we have moved on to a new phase.
He was the first to discover this program and understand that nature seeks balance.
This means that we balance ourselves with the nature of the still, vegetative, and animate,
and likewise, build balance between us on the human level such that ultimately
every person on the face of the Earth will feel that there is no rift or detachment between us
and between everything that is found outside of us;
this is called the development of consciousness
I reach an awareness, an understanding,
a feeling, that all of nature is a unified system.
And with this unified system, I am in harmony, reciprocity, and homeostasis,
in a mutual exchange of materials, thoughts, and desires.
We are ready to arouse and invite upon ourselves, as well as the overall levels of the still, vegetative, and animate:
a good, pleasant, rapid, and easy development.

"Come & See"
The particular and the general are equal,
moreover...
The general only manifests itself
from the moment the parts manifest themselves… “
Each part holds the life of the level in which it is,
although the life existing in the level exists only through its parts
and through the connection and interaction of each part with each other,
and all as a whole,
meaning through the generations.
Inanimate
Vegetative
Animal
Speaking
Although it may appear to be complete
Certainly is missing a part.
With this, we can understand that the life existing between
each part builds that level.
And all levels together create a new level of existence,
meaning the force that is revealed in the connection between all the levels.
Each element
is evaluated, not
by its appearance at a given moment,
but according to its level of development.
For it is enough
to take a look at the process of Creation
to realize the greatness and perfection
of the act of creation and of the One who performs it.
So it is in every element of reality
When an element seems to us to be bad and harmful, it is only a proof that this element is still in a transitional phase, in the process of its development.
Therefore,
we must understand and be extremely careful in despising any part of Creation and saying
that it is superfluous.
For it is a slander
regarding its Operator.
Therefore, we should not decide that it is bad and disqualify it, because it is not wise to do so.
regarding its Operator.
However, it is common knowledge that the Creator did not complete the creation when He created it. And we can see in every corner of the reality before us, in the general and the particular, that it is governed by the laws of gradual development, from the stage of absence to the culmination of growth.
For this reason, when the fruit has a bitter taste at the beginning of its ripening, we do not consider it a defect in the fruit since we all know the reason:
The fruit has not completed
the process of its development
Rabí Yehudá HaLevi Ashlag – Baal HaSulam
Pace in the World
so far, his words.
Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World”:
The collective has only what its individual parts have.
And the benefit of the collective is the benefit of each and every individual.
He who harms the collective harms himself as well,
and he who benefits the collective takes his part in the benefit because he is a part of the whole.
And the whole is not worth more than the sum of its individual parts.
