Rav Berg explains that before creation of the universe the world was in a perfect state. At the beginning of the universe as we know it, there was a “Big Bang” which caused the light-filled vessel which was the universe, to shatter, which caused the separation of the vessel, which was previously united with the light that filled it, from the light. The light became the force of creation, and the shattered vessel the force of desire. The broken pieces of the holy vessel, together with the force of the sacred light, are what our physical universe is today.
For over 4,000 years the Kabbalah has been the cornerstone of the secret wisdom of self-transformation and tikkun olam. It is our task in this world to collect the shattered shards of that sacred vessel so that we can once again unify and perfect the world.
