„If you wish, O human, gaze upon the light of the Divine Presence within the whole universe; gaze upon the delight of the heavenly life, how it permeates every corner and nook of existence — the spiritual and the material — before your bodily eyes and before the eyes of your spirit.”From Shemonah Kevatzim I, 181
Our ability to look deeply at our own life and at the life around us is rooted in the understanding that our world is built beyond the details that surround us. Contemplating the world around us, the wonder within it, the life that envelops us, ourselves — our feelings, our loves, our struggles and our successes. Contemplating what drives our lives. A "Call to Supernal Contemplation" is a call whose purpose is to raise ourselves above the ground, above the difficulties of the everyday, to be able to look straight ahead and gaze upon the great reality that surrounds us. A call that asks us to soar to the heavens, to rise upward, for the power within us is far beyond our grasp.
