Their ‘I’ is a cosmic ‘I’, and they are not familiar with the experience of separation. The spiritual hierarchies did not have such a partition. The human-being obtained his ‘I’ into a solid physical body, that serves as a buffer between him and the spirit. While the higher hierarchies, that are positioned above the human, have obtained their ‘I’ –’the divine spark’ – at other stages, the human-being has received his ‘I’ only on earth. This special quality that the human-being can develop is related to the stage at which he obtained his ‘I’.

The human-being is destined to be the tenth hierarchy, to evolve into a free and moral entity in the universe, in such a way that morality and love will flow from him out of freedom. Modern perception opposes that image and regards the human-being as an entity evolving towards freedom. The human-being experiences himself as fallen, and longs for religious redemption. All the sins of morality were perceived as a result of the fall (from Heaven) and its manifestations. As a mortal being he gets sick, grows old and dies therefore he is a ‘sinner’. The venom of the serpent, which penetrated him in Heaven, caused his expulsion and turned him into a mortal being. Not in the moral sense, but in the sense of ‘sinning’ or ‘being off target’ (in Hebrew it is the same word) – away from its essence and destiny. The early perception – which characterizes the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) – was that the human-being is a sinful being. The child experiences a double split: one split – between him and the world, and the other split – within himself. The development of self and individual consciousness involves the experience of separation and loneliness. partial) being, belonging to a particular gender. During that period the child begins to develop self-consciousness, and then also the recognition of being a sexual (i.e. In individual biography, the wound begins to be manifested around the ages of 9-12. It was only in the 18 th century that people started to identify with death – and that was the origin of the wound. Rather, they experienced an unmediated connection with the spirit world and hence they did not identify with death. For millions of years people have died a physical death, but they did not identify with their bodies and minds the way we do today. In the past, death was not experienced in the same manner. The fate of the modern human-being is death consciousness as it is experienced today. No longer the son of the Spirit in his image and likeness, but rather the son of the earth, the son of dust.ġ9 “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground for out of it wast thou taken for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Genesis 3. This expulsion symbolizes the final separation from oneness and from eternity, and the transformation into an individual that is a lonely and mortal entity. After the split, Adam and Eve ate from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, followed by their expulsion from Heaven. The human’s search for his complementary part is expressed in the longing to become “one flesh” again.
23 And the man said: ‘This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2. 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man. The whole person was an eternal, asexual entity that grew its offspring from itself and continued its existence through them.Ģ1 “ And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof. The split between the sexes means the division of the whole person into two.
The first appearance of the wound in human biography was the separation of the species and the expulsion from Heaven. We experience ourselves as finite beings. Upon birth, we enter an earthly, relative and finite world – in which we experience ourselves through a limited and one-sided consciousness. What is our wound? How did it ‘solidify’ and gradually paint the picture of our lives? What is its purpose? How can we turn it into a source of personal development?Īll of our wounds emerge from one source – our disengagement from the foundation of our being – from the spirit world from which we come and to which we all eventually return. In this article we will describe the human wound, its origin, the way it is expressed in one’s biography, the way it controls us and manages us – and how it exerts ‘terror’ on the other and makes him feel guilty towards us.
