G-d is ONE. In other words, ONLY G-d truly exists, G-d IS. G-d wants this to be revealed in this physical world, a world where G-d is so concealed we can come to question G-d's existence, when in actuality, G-d is all that exists. To understand one thing is vital when it comes to discussing how G-d manifests Himself in this "world" "down here"; anything that sounds like a hierarchy of value or worth amongst creation must be truly sized up against the FACT that there is ONLY G-d, and nothing else. At the essence and root of all creation is G-d Himself, period, the one and only; needing to feel superior to another has to do with a human self-esteem/self-worth issue, it has nothing to do with G-d. We are all nullified to the one above, yes we have different roles "down here", but any interpretation that this implies some kind of real superiority is not understanding that we are all truly nullified to our maker. He is all, He is being all, He is making us anew right now, as I type this, G-d is being me for me and you for you.
G-d chose(s) to create this world through a process where He "lessens" the revelation of Himself, gradually, in a chaining down system of "worlds", each world defined by the degree of concealment of G-d's infinite revelation to each world. This physical world is at the bottom of that chain, in other words, G-d is most concealed here, to the point that we do not see G-dliness, we see an actual physical world, that is our vantage point.
G-d desired(s) to create an "other", who would choose to partner with G-d on his/her own terms. G-d desired a true relationship with an "other" who could choose that relationship from their own volition. The human being is this partner, every single one of us.
Because of all this concealment "down here" G-d needed, so to speak, an anchor in this world, that the world would not completely "forget" where it comes from, that humanity should not destroy itself. This anchor is the Jewish soul. The Jewish people, collectively, make up a consciousness that has its roots in G-d "before" He concealed His infinite revelation. Now, this does not mean that the Jewish people are automatically in touch with this consciousness, and most of us nowadays are not too in touch with this consciousness naturally; we must apply our minds, hearts, and hands, with great toil, in the study of Torah and the performance of Mitzvot (G-ds commandments). In fact, the Jewish soul, referred to as the “G-dly soul” in Chassidic philosophy, is the Torah, it is one with the Torah, which is one with G-d. In other words, this soul itself has a revealed connection to its source, to G-d, the soul itself knows from where it comes, it perceives that though there is a world it does not contradict that only G-d exists, that is this soul’s reality. Most of us (Jews) today are not readily conscious of this soul, it is there, but it must be accessed through the study of Torah, and contemplation of G-d through the study of Chassidic philosophy, and performing good deeds, working on our character traits, etc.
Jews and non-Jews are meant to be a team, partners in the service of G-d; making for Him a dwelling place here in the physical world. In truth, humankind is really one complete person, one soul, splintered into 7 billion fragments and manifestations. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, a consciousness came to them and to the world, a self consciousness, an ego, a separateness. G’d’s simple “I Am”, splintered, so to speak, into billions of “Me’s” and “I’s. Jews and non-Jews are a team in repairing, and returning this universal consciousness of G-d, back to all of creation. We have different roles and many great analogies have been made to explain the partnership. One analogy I personally like is the band and the instrument technicians, the lighting crew, the sound engineers, the security teams, the stage engineers, etc. For a great concert to be pulled off well, with the greatest possible performance, all of these people must work together collectively, cooperatively, and with great respect for the contributions and crafts of each team and team member. The band cannot pull off the show that they need too without all of these teams of craftsman, technicians, managers, stage hands, lighting crew, medical staff on hand, the audience, etc. The band seemingly has the spotlight, but any humble band will tell they couldn’t do what they do without everybody’s involvement and they know that this “show” is not really about or for them, it’s for the audience’s delight. By way of analogy, the audience in this case would be G-d Himself.
Human beings must be united in a common purpose to bring goodness and light/revelation into this world, until the point that we eradicate evil, as we smother it with goodness and light, and transform the darkness to light. Good deeds, selfless deeds of kindness are a revelation of G-d in this world, we reveal G-d in this world, now, with positive action.
The More Jews will unite, the less any anti-Jewish sentiment will exist (which is at root a contempt for humanity at large). When Jews will unite completely, external anti semitism will completely fade away. When humankind unites with one purpose, to reveal G-d “down here” , we complete our mission of partnering with G-d in the creation of this world. On that day “we will be as dreamers” and “laughter will be in our mouths”, we will SEE (with our physical eyes) that G-d is speaking! May it be today, immediately!
