The entire cosmos, the ancients explained, climbs ever upward.
The elements move upward to grow as living flora.
Flora rise upward, consumed by creatures that swim, run, fly, love and fear.
Those mobile, loving and fearing fauna may too be elevated into the realm of a conscious being that acts with enlightened mindfulness—a human being.
And this human being, to where can it rise?
To the ultimate fulfillment of intellect and yet higher, to a place that existed before Mind was born, a place without constriction or borders.
And where is that place?
It is the act of doing good for the sake of good alone.

Elevated To A Higher Dimension The destructive force of our ego is clearly being revealed now in our world. Every action is calculated to profit the self.
The Kabbalists saw a higher world when they yearned to exemplify the collective: to be as one heart and one mind - one unified human system in which everyone used their energy to service the system. Then they merited G_d's Light between them. They experienced the higher dimension when they exited our selfish mentality.
This method is available to all those who wish to climb the ladder to the next dimension.
