As we have had occasion to mention, Kabbalah teaches us, God operates on a continual cycle, of Alef Beis Gimmel, A. B. C.

Namely, life is about new paradigms, which of course, leads to better human beings

Hence, the one and only thing which is an absolute guarantee, is, that this system, namely, no matter what you know, as there is more to integrate, you will need to let go of your wisdom (for one cannot build a home on a preexisting home) in order, to make room for the next paradigm.

This system happens in – like childbirth – tremendous contractions.

For example, as the Sfas Emess teaches, before all great revelations from God, came tremendous contractions (as, he refers to it like an operation, where someone is put to sleep in order, they can wake up, a whole better renewed person) before the revelation of Matan Torah, was the contraction of Egypt.

Before the revelation of the second Temple, which was on a higher level than the first, was the contraction of seventy years of Bavel exile.

And before our current messianic revelation – more on that soon – was two thousand years of purging any evil within us.

Now the messianic revelation is heaven on earth!

In heaven, souls quite simply, go from level to level; and the process is exactly as mentioned, through forgetting the past wisdom, making room for new wisdom, transforming ones-self through it; and then like an elevator that goes from floor to floor and the passengers get out and sample the delights on that floor, get back in, for its infinite ride!
