Daat is first mentioned with respect to the request for Gadlut in the world of nikudim. It is the root for the Raising of MAN (mayiin nukvin) in the rest of the system.
There are no moral codes outside the Kabbalistic society, for Kabbalists. You don’t need moral codes there because all the selfish reasons to not lie, cheat and steal are already set up by society. If I like my neighbor’s garden planter, and I steal it, and place it in my own front yard, what consequences there will be are already arranged: even if they can’t get me with the police, they’ll get me in another way. At the very least, public opinion will turn on me, and so on. It doesn’t benefit a person to treat the world like an “open store” from which you grab as much as you can. These laws will be revealed more and more, both to countries that invade others because seemingly they can get away with it for now, and to individuals. There are all kinds of consequences for the stolen planter and the stolen land. We’re just like children that get beat and never learn our lessons.
A Kabbalist becomes wiser, both in this world and in things beyond this world, and thus, it’s not that he keeps some moral code – but he feels like behaving in wiser ways because the links between all the forces in reality – both in my attitude towards reality and perhaps some of my actions even – become increasingly revealed to him. So, he’s not so free in the way that we want to be free, like children locked in their rooms but they’re going wild behind that locked door.
So, a Kabbalist has no religion, no morals, but behaves with decreasing stupidity in the palace of the Creator that he increasingly perceives in his developing spiritual senses.
The world set before our eyes is certainly not perfect, it’s broken. Because my perception is broken. Part of that broken perception is how I see others. I see them as bad and broken, but it’s all in my perception. If I correct my perception I’ll see a perfect world.
