Quote from Baal HaSulam:
And he reasons all that “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11, 9)”. Thus we see that the prophet conditions peace in the whole world with the filling of the whole world with the knowledge of God, just as we have said that the tough, egoistic resistance between people, along with deterioration in the international relationships, all these will not cease from the world by any human counsel under any conditions.
Our eyes can see how the poor sick turn over in dreadful pain, and humanity has already thrown itself to the extreme right as with Germany or to the extreme left, as with Russia, and not only did they not ease the pain, they have worsened the malady and agony and the voices rise up to the sky as we all know.
Therefore they have no counsel but to come to the acceptance of His burden, meaning that they aim their acts to the will of the Lord and to His purpose, as He had planned prior to creation. And when they do that, it is plain to see that with His work all envy and hatred will be abolished from mankind as I have shown above thus far, because then all members of humanity will unite into one body with one heart full of the knowledge of the Lord. Thus, world peace and the knowledge of God are one and the same thing.
Baal HaSulam, “The Peace.”

In his article Time to Act, Baal HaSulam discusses the uniqueness of our time. He states that ours is the time when humanity has sufficiently matured to desire spirituality.
The desire for spirituality manifests when a person’s entire life, with all its joys, grows meaningless and empty. In our generation, a growing number of people experience it.
Time to Act explains that today’s condition has been long-awaited, and has finally arrived. Now it is possible to reveal the wisdom of Kabbalah because it explains:
- our essence,
- what keeps the universe evolving—and us within it,
- and the purpose for which it all exists.
Nature does not create anything in vain. In principle, nature is the force of the Creator. In Hebrew, the word for Elokim, God, has the same numerical value as the word Teva, nature. This means that these two words are spiritual synonyms. Nature—everything we perceive—represents how the Creator appears to us.
Baal HaSulam says that the revelation of the Creator, and specifically in our time, will grant us an infinitely broader perspective of the universe and enhanced perception of our existence. We will experience a life of eternal and harmonious motion, the confluence of all matter, information, and energy. According to Baal HaSulam, we can and must achieve this in our generation.
