In a wink, a smart person understands what an idiot may take a decade to understand, however, if we go beyond the wink – for perhaps we may all be somewhat idiotic relative to the Baal Shem Tov – and look in, not a wink, but literally five thousand years of change, well then, even idiots like me (maybe us, if I may) will understand God!
The world begins in absolute total light, God and man are face to face; but this is not really the real world, its just the map, the goal, like telling Adam what can and will be; the real world begins in genocide, where jealousy takes the life of a fourth of the world, and then the Torah/Bible teaches us, that murder, abuse, theft becomes the norm – though not mentioned in the Torah, our sages prophesized, a flood before Noah’s flood, wipes out two thirds of the world; but again, peoples instincts are stronger than their minds, and so God erases humanity, save Noah who was righteous, his wife, and their three pairs of sons and daughter-in-laws; a new world is born, a world that has learnt precious little from the past, for once again, man’s ego dominates, and instead of seeking world unity, they build a tower to become stronger than their Creator; invincible men – like the aspirations of the superheroes in comics – they seek; so God disperses them; and then a light shines, a light which is the saving grace; one man in his quest for truth, rejects all forms of evil and embraces all forms of love, God, sacrifice, truth etc. etc. and to this man God says “I will create nations from you, your children will descend to Egypt where they will be abused but they will exit with a great wealth” both physical, and more importantly spiritual, and so it was; and forty nine days after they left Egypt, a book, in fact the bestseller of all time by far (billions more than its nearest rival) inculcated in this new Jewish nation respect for a different value system, one in which power was reigned in and charity was paramount!
It took the world another four thousand years to buy into this system!
We are now at the cusp of the complete and total transformation of humanity!!!
