Gan Eden Elyon

BY YAEL DWORKIN

There are really good, holy and righteous people in this world. They do exist.They are truly altruistic in their sensitivity and response to others. They feel the pain of distance that exists between people. And the pain of distance that exists between a person and his/her own soul.

The lack of unity on all levels hurts them and motivates them to cry and pray and do whatever they can to bring healing to the world.

These righteous people manage to live in this world with a Gan Eden Elyon (supernal Garden of Eden) conciousness even while in this world.

In fact, the Zohar hakadosh teaches that Gan Eden is more a matter of conciousness than it is a physical space - since closeness in spirituality is not measured by distance but by likeness of form to our Creator.
