From Animal To Human

As the Kabbalah teaches we have 3 primary states

The first state is the state of emotional attraction to that which we think will be of benefit to us

The second state is the state of emotional retraction, which is fear from that which we think will harm us

In fact this is how all animals behave.

However as a human we have a third state: that is the ability to seek the truth and sacrifice ourselves for it!
