Growing Wings
A person needs to evacuate the preoccupation with the material,
because it has already exhausted itself.
The physical world has reached the limit of its density—
another floor, more possessions, more science, more control.
But the spirit is suffocating.
And the soul,
which comes from the Infinite,
begins to call from within:
“Home again...”
These are the cracks and the fractures that we see in the world now.
All over the world.
As a person dismantles their grip on the outside,
they begin to grow wings.
The wings are not a body—they are consciousness.
It is a consciousness that rises above time,
above fear, above the laws of gravity of the old reality.
There, you discover who you truly are.
Not a citizen.
Not a role.
Not a name.
But light walking in the world.
And when one person ascends like this, the entire world trembles.
Because one consciousness that has been freed from matter changes the field of all of humanity.
It shatters the laws of darkness.
It returns light to the places that believed it was no longer possible to illuminate.
Until the shell of the old humanity is broken.
When a person lives in a consciousness of separateness, they are dead.
And when they ascend above the material,
they live a life of the soul,
which is truly an eternal life.
This is the “World to Come”—
not another place,
but another state of consciousness.
This process is not merely personal.
When individuals shed the shell of the old humanity,
they affect the entire conscious field of humankind.
Baal HaSulam wrote that “the general rectification will begin from the inner rectification of the individual.”
When a person stops serving as a vessel for the lust for honor, for the desire for power, for the consciousness of reward and punishment, they stop feeding the “general beast” of humanity.
Then this force weakens in the world,
and another reality is revealed—
a reality in which souls are connected in cooperation, not in competition.
The Torah of Mashiach: Spirit, Not Matter
It is not a Torah of external actions, but of consciousness.
It reveals the internality of reality,
the Godliness in everything.
Baal HaSulam wrote about this:
The Torah of Mashiach will reveal the secrets of the Torah and will rectify the hearts,
until all will know that “truly, there is nothing but Him.”
When this happens,
all of humanity will return to being one person with one heart.
Reflect:
Where do you feel that the material world has “exhausted itself” in your own life—where the pursuit of more (possessions, status, control) feels empty?
What is one “grip on the outside” that you can begin to loosen today, in order to make space for your “wings of consciousness” to grow?
What would it feel like to move through the world not as a role, a citizen, or a name, but as “light walking in the world”?
