Is there a primordial force that caused all of this, or did everything happen randomly? As someone who studied physics, okay, the Big Bang is fine. It's just some kind of explanation for an attempt. It's not the essence. In the end, there is some kind of essence that goes beyond even the laws, and I do believe that this essence exists. I give it other names, and it's not necessarily a God with commandments. It's something bigger. We are just one star out of thousands. And hundreds, and millions, and many millions of stars. That is Meaning you are convinced that there is a force that created the world. You just don't call it God. Not created. The force lives within me, within us, and within everything that exists. Here. Yes, a divine spark from above. It is written that within every person's soul there is, so to speak, a part of God. So, for me, there is no part. There is only one. We are all part of that one, and the separation in my eyes is a kind of illusion. The truth is this is a dispute between the Ari, the Ari Zal, and the Vilna Gaon. You just touched on the disagreement between the Ari Zal and the Vilna Gaon. When we say Shema Yisrael, Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad, does it mean that there is one creator of the world, or does one mean that he is one within all creations? One within all creations, and we are all part of that one. So, for me, that's also a question where I don't have to do anything extra in order to embody that.
