Parashat Korach
„The cry... 'You are all holy, all of you are children of the Lord; there is no difference between one nation and another, there is no holy and chosen nation in the world, every person is equally holy' - this is the human Korach-ness.”From Orot Yisrael 15
The enlightened world tries to dismantle truths in order to reassemble itself anew. Postmodernism lives off this dismantling: the dismantling of the family, of concepts of nationhood and religion, of the political order. As John Lennon sang in the sixties about the "imagination" of a world without borders. The price of "everyone is holy" is the absence of holiness in the world. The price of erasing the boundaries and distinctions between different people, different souls, and different worldviews is the creation of a confused world, in which more and more people fail to truly fulfill their calling and their will, but are instead swept along by an international engineering of minds dictating what is right in the eyes of the engineers of consciousness.
