2 Realities Existing at the Same Time
You have probably heard of Kabbalah, the science of connection. Simply put, there is nothing in reality besides the single substance that was created, and that single substance is desire. This desire appears to our senses, to our perception of the physical reality, picturing to us rocks, plants, animals, and other people. But behind this facade, only four levels of the same desire exists. Our mind creates the reality we see out there, simulating a kind of movie based on information we receive from our five senses. We see this movie in the back of our minds, as Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) explains. So we think that there is a physical reality outside of us. The actual reality is a single, allencompassing desire containing all possible manifestations within itself: rocks, minerals, plants, animals and humans, our planet, and the whole universe. It is all a single intricate system of desires called creation.
