Through many journeys through many lives, each of us will find and redeem all the divine sparks in our share of the world.
Then the darkness that holds such mastery, such cruelty, such irrational evil that it contains no redeeming value—all this will simply vanish like a puff of steam in the midday air.
As for that which we salvaged and used for good, it will shine an awesome light never known before.
The world will have arrived.
What is there to salvage from evil Reply
By speaking of collecting all the sparks through many lives, does this mean reincarnation until humans perfect themselves?
Thank you rabbi for your many writings that enlighten the readers' understanding of these varied lessons.

Rabbi Tzvi, this is the most amazing thing! I never heard this before. What kind of light could that possibly be? Imagine how rich and golden and strong and warm and penetrating and enduing it will be! I love the idea of it.
I see this is an 'old' post but it is new for me. Thank you.

Completing Creation
After we recognize the evil inclination towards our self-love and our inability to rise above it to connect in brotherly love towards others, we pray for our nature to be corrected to resemble His.
In this way we do our part to complete creation.
When all the holy sparks have been extracted from the evil this world will vanish and we will see the next dimension of existence.

I recently had a dream about the sparks. The scene in the dream was completely dark then a swirl of spark began forming , it looked like Van Gogh's painting Starry Starry Night. The sparks seem to be trying to merge into one unified light. It was an amazing sight that will be forever in my mind and heart. I feel that it meant that God is at work in these dark time gathering the sparks and unifying them to Himself to become apart of Him.
