No one knows the true wisdom behind creation.
Anyone who claims otherwise is speaking poetry or selling religion to the unsophisticated.
An infinite, perfect Being lacks nothing. He does not need a world, worshippers, or praise. The question itself — why would God create anything — already breaks logic, because need cannot apply to infinity.
What we are told, carefully and sparingly, is this:
Creation is an act of giving, not necessity. God willed to bestow existence, consciousness, and goodness — not for His sake, but for ours.
This World: Gratitude Through Action
This world exists so that man can recognize the gift of existence and respond to it correctly.
Not with abstract belief.
Not with mystical escape.
But with gratitude expressed through action.
Thanking God here does not mean words. It means:
Choosing good when it is costly
Restraining desire when no one sees
Acting faithfully inside limitation
Only in a world of concealment can gratitude be real.
The First Man: A Glimpse of the Intended State
Adam was not created as we are now.
He existed in a state where:
Physical and spiritual were integrated
Time did not dominate existence
Consciousness was clear, not fractured
That condition was not fantasy — it was potential. Humanity fell into fragmentation, effort, and mortality in order to earn, not receive, that state.
History is not decline.
It is reconstruction.
The Third World: Resurrection — Known Only in Outline
The world of resurrection is not described, because it cannot be.
Language fails.
Physical metaphors collapse.
Pleasure as we know it is irrelevant.
That is why Judaism refuses childish images — no gardens, no virgins, no indulgence. Those are crude projections of physical desire onto a reality that transcends it.
We are told only this:
Body and soul reunite
Existence is perfected
The community is whole
God’s presence is direct
Nothing more.
And that restraint is deliberate.
We are not meant to imagine it, pursue it, or escape toward it. Anyone obsessed with “what it’s like there” has already missed the point.
The Hard Truth
There is no comparison between physical pleasure and that state. None.
Trying to compare them is like comparing a shadow to the object casting it.
So Judaism does not motivate through promises of fantasy.
It demands seriousness, discipline, and humility.
Do the work here.
Repair what you touch.
Give thanks through action.
The rest is not for us to define.
