אבל דורו של אחאב כולם עובדי עבודה זרה היו, ועל ידי שלא היו בהן דלטורין יוצאין למלחמה ונוצחין – מדרש תנחומא
…but Ahab’s generation were all idol worshipers, and due to the lack of divisive speech [lashon hara] between them, they would go to war and be victorious (Midrash Tanchuma).
In the generation of Ahab, when the nation of Israel conducted idol worship, Gd enabled them to win all their battles. Why? Due to the absence of divisive speech between them, they were united as one nation.
This emphasizes Gd’s true goal for the world – oneness, unification.
The infrastructure of the world allows for peace, perfect unification, oneness. Perfect unification, one that is not fleeting, rather sustainable and permanent, can be achieved only through the revelation and understanding of absolute truth. The absolute truth is the perfect description of our reality, the total sum of all its characteristics and behaviors, the complete list of the forces at work in the world, the revelation of the ultimate purpose of life itself in its entirety, the true essence of all things.
The existence of the Creator, of the infinite, of the inherent doubt, the unprovable, the unmeasurable, the unthinkable, is inherent to our reality. This must be accepted in order to build the true foundation of logic that accurately can describe the world.
That being said, the expression of the Creator in this reality is understandable. The order in which this reality is maintained, the functional units that exist, and the essence of the perfect state – all of these are comprised within the essence of the Creator that is attainable by every one of us. Through understanding the absolute truth we can achieve the perfect state.
The absolute truth is the essence of the Creator that is attainable. This is the description comprising the total sum of the characteristics and behaviors that completely span the plane comprising the expression of the Creator in our reality. This reality in its entirety is an expression of the Creator. This expression, of course, does not completely describe the Creator, as the Creator in its “entirety” is indescribable. The Creator spans beyond the planes of description or understanding. As such, this reality comprises the expression of the Creator that is limited by boundaries. The most perfect and accurate description of the expression of the Creator in our reality is complete oneness. This complete oneness contains no internal boundaries and exists in space and time. The sum of all units of space-time in existence represents the expression of the creator that is attainable in our reality.
At this point in space-time the expression of the Creator is limited by boundaries of specific quality and quantity.
If the creator in its truest attainable essence can be equate to perfect light, the boundaries are darkness – the absence of light.
If the essence of creator can be expressed as perfect truth, the boundaries are lies – the absence of truth.
If the essence of creator can be expressed as perfect order, the boundaries are chaos – the absence of order.
If the essence of the creator can be expressed as love, the boundaries are the absence of love.
The boundaries are not true, though there exists a minimal number of specific boundaries that are necessary for the existence of our reality. Over time, we can create boundaries, we can build walls. We can identify categories, descriptions, definitions, differences that are not essential to our understanding of reality. When these unessential, additional boundaries are created, we move further from the truth, move further from the light, move away from love, move away from order. As a result, our reality becomes more divisive, more chaotic, and we move further from our ideal state.
The ideal state reflects perfect justice. To achieve the ideal state requires perfect intention and perfect action at the right time. Approaching the perfect state requires work, working against resistance, working to counteract the movement fueled by lies, darkness, the absence of love, the unessential boundaries that we create with our choice.
The movement of the first lie was perpetuated when Adam ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge. This movement moved our understanding of reality, moved the state of the world, further from the truth. In order to return to the truth, this movement must be counteracted by a movement or sum of movements being sufficiently opposite in its essence. The essence of a movement comprises intention and action, resulting in a movement vector of a particular magnitude and direction. A sufficiently opposite movement is of the opposite magnitude and direction of a first movement. A movement is created through work. Through one’s life, a human may create a limited number of movements. Of course, each of these movements is created by a human conducting an action with a particular intention. The course of one’s life, the essence of one’s existence, may be described as the sum of movements they created.
It is “best” if a person uses their life to make the greatest number of movements of the greatest magnitude in the correct direction. By doing so, one lives one’s best life. The best life comprises the maximal restoration of one’s soul to reflect its true, original state, and by doing so, not only is one’s soul perfected but reality is also restored to reflect its true, original state, the state before the original sin.
When living my best life, all of my movements, my intentions and actions, propel me on the path Gd has laid out for me towards the truth. When I stay on the path, walking in the way Gd has intended for me, I promote maximal inner and outer peace. My work produces the maximum level of serenity possible for me, and produces the maximum level of peace in my environment – produces the most peace that is possible for me to generate in this world. When I know it is possible for me to live my best life, it is most meaningful for me to search and work to define what intentions and what actions are intended for me by the Creator. I do this by using my “human machine” – my 5 physical sensors connected to my intellect.
I can implement my human machine to define statements as most likely to be true. I can use internal and external evidence to support my determination that a statement is most likely to be true. Internal evidence comprises my feelings towards movements I have created, my analysis pertaining to things I have done – things that are in my control. External evidence comprises what has been done to me – everything in life that I did not choose, the circumstances that I inherited as a result of being born, including the movements of others – everything that is out of my control.
I use my intellect to analyze internal and external evidence and make conclusions based on what I believe to be true. I learn from my analysis, creating statements that I associate with a specific magnitude of truthfulness. The magnitude of truthfulness that I associate with a particular statement is correlated to the degree to which this statement will impact my next movement. Throughout my life, I make more and more statements. Each statement is related to a movement that at a particular position in space-time was either in or out of my control. I assign each of these statements a particular level of truthfulness (knowingly or unknowingly). When creating my next movement, I first examine my position in space-time. Based on the forces, expressed in characteristics and behaviors, that I have determined to be active at this position in space-time, I create the movement I consider to be appropriate. The movement I consider to be appropriate is the movement I consider to be most true given the forces that I have determined to be active in the present. The movement I consider to be the most appropriate in the present is the most similar to the movement associated with the stored statement I consider to be most true, or relevant, given present conditions. The movement I create propels me on the path moving in the direction I think I should be going in. The destination, or desired outcome, comprises conditions, characteristics, that I think are good for me. What I consider to be good for me is dependent on what I consider to be true.
On the most fundamental level, the overarching statements that guide me (knowingly or unknowingly) are what I consider to be most likely, most true, relating to my purpose, humanity’s purpose, and the purpose of this reality. If what I consider to be true, including that which relates to these fundamental statements, is in fact consistent with the absolute truth, I am on the path Gd intended for me. I am living my best life. The more consistent what I consider to be true is to the absolute truth, the greater my capability is to approach the absolute truth – the close I become to understanding the essence of this reality that is attainable – the closer I become to understanding the attainable expression of the Creator.
