The Creator—Come and See

Various religions depict the Creator as something outside of us. But Kabbalah
explains that it is forbidden to imagine the Creator as an image of any kind,
that the Creator is a quality that exists within each of us.
The Creator is the quality of love and bestowal. The meaning of the word
“Creator” (Borre in Hebrew) is “Come and See” (Bo u Re’e), meaning come and
discover this quality within you.
There is no external, foreign element for whom we work! We work on
correcting ourselves, on attaining the qualities of love and giving, the Creator.
Around two thousand years ago, we lost the feeling of the Creator—we were
exiled and lost the true picture of the world. We began to think that the
Creator was someone who existed separately from us, rather than a quality
that appeared within us.
Instead of depicting the Creator as the primary and foremost quality of
Creation, which clothes within us, we began to think of Him as a separate and
foreign entity.
