From the moment that they were sundered apart, the earth has craved to reunite with heaven: physical with spiritual, body with soul, the life that breathes within us with the transcendental that lies beyond life, beyond being.
And yet more so does the Infinite Light yearn to find itself within that world, that pulse of life, within finite, earthly existence. There, more than any spiritual world, is the place of G‑d’s delight.
Towards this ultimate union all of history flows, all living things crave, all human activities are subliminally directed. When it will finally occur, it will be the quintessence of every marriage that has ever occurred.
May it be soon in our times, sooner than we can imagine.

The Light Connection We are born egoists.
We are instinctively separated by our differences, which manifest as hatred, repulsion and rejection of others.
This compels us to live in 'parallel worlds'.
Until we recognize that we have no way of creating harmonious relationships between us, we will be lead to the verge of destruction to discover this fact.
Therefore don't look for how we can manage a connection between us.
It is said 'husband and wife and the Shechina between them.' This tells us:
There is me and my friend and the Light between us.
Only the Light can fill the that empty space between us.
As the Kabbalists explained to us, we need to bring G_d our sincere intention to connect our feelings for love between us. Then His Light bonds our hearts together.
In this way there is you and me in our egoistic world called 'Earth' connected by G_d's Light.
Then we shift to a new world elevated above our earthly desire. We feel heaven between us!
May we soon all experience this holy connection.
