the great battle – you see, by nature we are composed of two opposing realities, -and because like Siamese-twins they are born together, as the Kabbalah teaches "since the eating of the tree of knowledge – which brought evil from the depths to this world and henceforth intertwined itself in the human, – there is no altruism without ego (don’t we all wish someone acknowledges) and no ego without altruism" (as Reish Lakish a former bandit turned sage said, "even the worst of the Jews do many many charitable acts") – the question of-course is, how do we kill our Siamese interloper – and there is but a single way – no religion can help you except Judaism/Jewish mysticism for to do so you must a. have a higher consciousness (for as long as you determine what is right, your evil twin takes credit) b. you must have an evil twin (for without his determination to prevent you, it would be simple, and not only would it not be a struggle, but it would feel pleasurable obscuring the motive) and c. you must go through a period of searching hence d. elation when finding, and finally e.self-discipline
