We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.

Our eyes must always be turned higher and higher to rise to the loftiest spirituality. We can't compromise with our mediocre state, but aspire to the unbounded infinity. We aim to the infinite and constantly expand our consciousness and our proximity to the loftiest heights. Even though we need to take into account the realities of our limited ability to receive, our inner drive is literally to reach God. We have not traded in this ambition to settle for a limited amount of spiritual light that fits into our finite paradigm.

For this reason the year begins with Gevurah (Din, judgement) to remind us of our purpose. Even though Gevurah is a raging fire that fills our hearts with fear and trepidation, these are sufferings of love. We desire them because we desire our King and don't want to settle for anything less. The purpose of the entirety of Creation is to get to Him. For this reason, "The left hand is under my head, and the right will hug me." First the left builds the head, then the entire body can follow with love. The left comes first in the same way that Tohu proceeds Tikkun. First there is chaos which can then be controlled by entering into holding vessels. This is also why the High Holy Day precede the holiday of Sukkos.

Rav Kook asks:

Why is it that there is Breaking? He explains that if God wishes to give according to His ability and the recipient is limited, then the amount of good that can be shared is limited. He therefore gives infinite good, based on His measure. Infinite spirituality. The recipient can't contain it and it will inevitably shatter. The recipient will then rebuild her vessel because of her great desire to return to the infinite source, to unite with spirituality. In this manner the Creation forms herself and ultimately reaches the Creators level of perfection. It rises above the level of a Creation -something which would have been impossible without an outpouring of good that was beyond her ability to receive.

Later, he writes:

The World of Tohu, its breakage and reconstruction, demonstrate to us that the great desire for Tikkun, building, and existence - all the essence of good- are all very strongly at work. Existence cannot receive the awesome good of God, unlimited strength. The fractured existence disintegrates from too much good, from powerful life, it breaks from its great ambition. This does not prevent the good from following its path. It rebuilds after the Breaking. It builds a beautiful and priceless building. The subsequent measure of good is so great, that it is worth suffering the breakage, all the pain of destruction, in order to end up with a wonderful world which can hold within it a rich life which would otherwise be beyond its grasp.

The Reflection of Man

Every aspect of man was created in the same form as the Divine traits. A person's body, his soul in all of its aspects was each made similar to the Sefirot. In Pasach Eliyahu  the Zohar shows us how the human body is a reflection of the Sefirot. For example, the right hand of a person is rooted in the Divine trait of Chesed (unbounded giving), which is represented on the right side of the Sefirot. The left hand is rooted in Din (judgement, constriction). This is the key to comprehending what a person accomplishes with his physical actions. When a person acts he stirs the commensurate Divine trait which bestows that trait back to humanity. This is why there are a number of Halchot which instruct to have the right precede the left, or to place the right above the left.

This teaches us the great importance of man, and the significance of the form of his limbs and his utilization of his body. When a person is davening Shemoneh Esray and placing the right hand over the left he is using Chesed to overcome Din  and Chesed  is stronger in the world. We see from this how powerful man is and the great light that is contained within his actions and conduct. A person needs to appreciate and value his body and what it can do, as there is great value in human behavior as it is a reflection of the Divine.

People are generally not conscious of this and do not value their bodies and actions, and think that a hand motion lacks meaning. This is due to the fact that they do not understand the concepts of Creation, why he was created, how he came about, how his body is arranged and the spiritual concepts underlying all of these. When a person studies and grasps the holiness of his existence, and the great power which delineated his limbs and formed his body, he can then understand how much holiness is available to him and the meaning of his deeds.

A person should therefore take heed that he doesn't soil his actions, as they have great spiritual ramifications. He should see to it that he engages in good behaviors in order to awaken a commensurate bestowal from above.
