The Alternative to Drugs: The Potion of Life

٣ يناير ٢٠٢٢
A high school principal in an Israeli school recently wrote to the students’ parents the following: “Consumption of drugs is practically routine for students of all classes.” The school management noted that the consumption of drugs was nothing new, but that the coronavirus era exacerbated substance abuse. What alternative to drugs does the wisdom of Kabbalah offer? The wisdom of Kabbalah offers what it calls “the potion of life,” which means to fill us with high spirits so that our perspective of the future becomes so appealing that we start receiving from nature a fulfillment that is stronger and more complete than anything else. It is a real potion from above, which provides us with the best possible feelings. The way to attain this potion is by mutually connecting in a harmonious and correct manner to the whole of nature, i.e. the sole positive force in existence. Our distancing from each other draws upon us a negative illumination from nature, which leads to a negative experience of life, and if we correctly connect to each other, then we will experience a positive illumination from nature, and enter a higher level of nature. Taking drugs, however, disconnects us from life, and makes us want to take more and more drugs until we eventually die. However, if we connect with each other, then we start feeling the eternity of nature and enter into an eternal world. Moreover, we can all achieve such a lofty state.
