The Teacher

THE TEACHER
For the first time, the Abraham inside you can begin to teach.
Having unified with Sarah and reached the age of seventy,
he finally became a fully functional desire. No longer was
his head in the clouds, for Sarah “lowered him to the earth.”
Now you can connect with the people inside you and teach
them without being considered eccentric. Now you will be
understood.
Abraham passes the wisdom forward and thus connects
to himself more desires and purifies them.
Here is what the Midrash has to say about the matter:
“What did Abraham do in Haran? He called public
gatherings and declared before them the truth about the one
Creator, appealing to people to serve Him… In addition to
public speeches, he held discussions in which he defended
his claims against anyone who doubted them. He also
composed books that proved the futility of idol-worshipping.
Thus Abraham drew tens of thousands of followers, who
accepted the existence of the Creator.”

Indeed, this is precisely how Abraham gathers within
you all the altruistic desires, which will later be called the
“nation of Israel.” “Israel” derives from the words Yashar
(Heb. straight) and El (Heb. God), meaning straight to the
Creator. Note that this notion has absolutely nothing to do
with religion, nationality, or race. The nation of Israel (the
desires aimed at the Creator) is formed within you (regardless
of the denomination into which you were born).
Additionally, it is correctly written that “Abraham
traveled the earth without rest, spreading the faith in the
Creator.” In other words, there is a continuous search for
newer desires within you, which could be attached to the
nation, i.e., corrected, whereby an altruistic intention will
be added to an egoistic desire.
