Article in Kabbalah Today Issue 6: All are One and One is All
To a Kabbalist, it is no secret that the whole of reality exists within us. But there is more to this, for despite the endless variety of minerals, plants, animals, and people that we see around us, Kabbalists say only one creature was created. The only difference between us and the Kabbalists is in how we perceive that single creature.

While Kabbalists see a single, collective soul composed of many interconnected pieces, we see us and the world around us, filled with other beings. The only thing missing in our perception is what actually connects these pieces, the “adhesive” that binds the pieces to form one entity.

Now let’s be Kabbalists for a moment: if you feel that you and everything else are one being, then there is only one creature that exists. In that state, all the others are no longer separated from you; they are all parts of you.

This single entity, the single soul that Kabbalists describe is experienced on a deeper, more fundamental level of reality that does not surface to our awareness. Simply put, we are all connected – we just don’t feel it.

The wisdom of Kabbalah holds the key for us to recover our lost perception of the one, eternal soul. Once we have regained this integral awareness, not only will our lives in this world be peaceful, but we will also recognize the unique force that originally created us, and that now connects us.
