TRANSFORMING The Maagid teaches an extraordinary thing – everything that exists in the realm of kelipah (that which isn’t directly for God or goodness, such as the desires, such as for sex, even for food, survival, all selfishly motivated, certainly ego) originate in a positive desire (for-example, love, integrating spirituality, helping, and strength) now as these desires descend into our world, they are actual beings and there is a Divine spark enclothed within them – these Divine sparks are like a prince captured and as the Baal Shem Tov says, is being forced to sit in the fetal position waiting for his father to redeem him – so when we encounter these energies and think about their true origin namely lust is unconditional love, ego is unconditional courage, humility is listening to the Divine voice we redeem these captured princes bringing our father the greatest joy.
