Unleashing the Transformative Power of the “Chosen People”
Get ready for an exhilarating journey as we delve into the true essence of the “Chosen People” and discover a universal message of unity and hope! Far from being an exclusive title, the concept of the “Chosen People” is a call to action for every individual, embracing the potential for growth and change that lies within us all.
Rav Yehuda Ashlag, in his seminal work “Peace in the World,” highlights the importance of choice and self-determination in shaping our collective destiny. He writes, “The choice is in our hands. We can either choose to continue suffering, or we can choose to achieve the sublime and exalted state of love of others.” By choosing the path of empathy, compassion, and unity, we become the architects of a harmonious future, aligning ourselves with the Divine principles that govern the universe.
This chosen path requires dedication and commitment to a fixed, perfect, and ordained method that fosters inner growth and wisdom. As Ashlag states, “The method to correct the world is solely by education.” By embracing lifelong learning and striving for self-improvement, we cultivate a deeper understanding of our interconnected world and our role in shaping its future.
Imagine a world where conflicts and rivalries give way to cooperation and understanding – a world where neighbors uplift one another and work together for the well-being of all. This is the transformative power of the “Chosen People” – a power that lies dormant within each of us, waiting to be unleashed through our choices and actions.
So let’s raise our banners of unity, empathy, and growth, and march forward on this incredible journey to create a brighter, more compassionate future. Together, as the “Chosen People,” we can unlock the full potential of our interconnected world and bring forth an era of peace, harmony, and love for all.
The Final Correction (Gmar Tikkun)
When a person completes his corrections, he reaches the last degree, the end of the entire correction – “Gmar Tikkun”.
The next degree that follows is called “Messiah” – Redeemer. The light that a person receives from this degree is so strong that it helps him to correct his very nature, transform the in-born egoism into altruism, and [then] changes the “stony heart” (Lev HaEven) into the “living heart” (Lev Basar).
Then one rises to the ultimate degrees of adhesion with the Creator, called 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th millennia. As Rav Ashlag writes, there are individuals who attain these degrees while living in this world.
The article “Vision of Rabbi Chiya” in the Book of the Zohar narrates how after the death of Rabbi Shimon his disciple, Rabbi Chiya, could not understand why his teacher did not reach the final degree, the final correction, Gmar Tikkun.
The answer is given in the same article: there is [a] personal and [a] general final correction. Although the righteous men reach their personal final correction, only general correction of all the souls will elevate everyone to the qualitatively new, highest degree of adhesion with the Creator.
