Uniquely Human
No matter where, no matter when, humanity searches for the ultimate. We are transfixed by a sense of self, and despite the enduring mystery of what a self actually is, we assign it the greatest importance. We have a sense that there is goodness and that we are meant to be aligned with it. The Jewish mystics teach that we have a drive towards the good and the G-dly because that is who we are—nothing less than G-dliness in disguise. This means that we have boundless possibilities; our limitations are but symptoms of the disguise that we are meant to shed.
