Hi Mohamed,
600,000 is less of a quantitative number and more of a qualitative number. It represents the strength of the spiritual desire after it’s been fully corrected. So essentially all of humanity is included in this number.
Check out this blog post to see how this number is derived: https://laitman.com/2010/09/love-and-hatred-of-600000-souls/

Hi Mira,
All the Kabbalistic books, including the Tanakh, Talmud, Zohar, etc are written in the language of roots and branches, meaning it uses words of our world to describe spiritual phenomena. So none of it is literal. On the other hand there is a law that the spiritual root must touch the corporeal branch at least once. Meaning although these are spiritual phenomena, they must have a corresponding corporeal branch in our world.
For example, Egypt represents the uncorrected egoistic desire while Israel represents the corrected desire, those are the roots. But in our world these things exist as branches as well. There is actually a physical place that is called Egypt and Israel. Still, despite all the above, the Torah is not a history book, not a single word of the Torah speaks about our world.

Hi Miryam,
I agree, the wording is confusing. I would say “today we are already starting the process of climbing up the ladder”. But you’re right, we’re not yet climbing the ladder of spiritual degrees, we’re still in the “preparation period” prior to the spiritual ladder.

Hi George,
Yes, you can say that this too was part of the Creator’s will. In other words, the shattering of this system that is called Adam HaRishon was pre-programmed in the thought and purpose of Creation. Meaning that it’s not something bad that happened, but rather a necessary part of our further growth and development. It’s just like with kids. We don’t just give them a completed jigsaw puzzle. On the contrary we take it and break it down into many pieces. Then in the process of them putting it together, they grow and develop. It’s the same with us. Putting together the shattered soul is the process by which we grow spiritually.

Hi Paul,
It’s not about knowledge, rather it’s the process by which we grow towards our next degree of development. In order to develop to the next spiritual degree, we need to picture it and play it. This is similar to how kids grow and develop. They imagine what it’s like to be an adult, a fireman, a doctor, a builder, etc. Then they play out these things. By that they grow and develop. Same with us, by picturing these higher degree of bestowal and playing them, we attract the light to help us to develop to those degrees. This is the process by which we activate this prayer.
