Why do you think it was decided that all people would be born lacking the tool of spiritual perception?
If we had the tool of spiritual perception then the attraction of the delights of the Spiritual World would probably be too great for our nature-the will to receive- to resist. There wouldn’t be any real opportunity for “freedom of choice”; to choose anything of my own free will, since every pleasure and delight I could possibly desire would be right there in front of me!
The Spiritual World needed to be concealed so we could evolve and discover our egoistic nature that drives us. Then of our own volition, we could choose to build a second nature, an altruistic nature. We could choose whether (#1) to receive for self alone (egoistic) OR to (#2) change our intention to one of bestowal– to receive for the sake of the Creator.
Choosing (#2) allows us to build an altruistic nature (a Kli with a Masach) above our egoistic nature and reach equivalence of form with the Creator. As we actually begin to feel and reveal the Creator, we can gradually ascend the 125 degrees of the Spiritual ladder through the 5 spiritual worlds (correcting corrupted desires along the way) and eventually return to our spiritual root as an independent creature.
