The Meaning of the Story of the Escape from Babylon with
Abrahams Method
In the story about ancient Babylon
the Torah offers this advice: Listen
to the Abraham in you. Find him
amidst the egoistic madness and give
him the freedom to act. Let the ego
squeal and resist any changes aimed at
spiritual advancement, but it must be
understood that there is no other way.
Everything else has been tried and
tested, and we can clearly see that it
hasnt worked.
This is precisely why the wisdom of
Kabbalah, Abrahams method, hidden
from humanity for millennia, is being
revealed today.
If humanity listens, we will follow the
constructive path of unification with Nature. If it doesnt, we will follow the path of suffering. But either way, we will
reach the goal.

The Development of the Ego from Ancient Babylon to Modern Global Crisis
What does it mean to unite with Nature? Kabbalists wrote about it almost 4,000 years ago in The Book of Creation.
All around us exists a single law, to which we do not conform. The Law of Nature is one of absolute altruism, absolute
love. It acts all around us in full force. It is known as the Creators Law.
We oppose this law egoistically. Instead of correcting our constantly growing egos and equalizing with Nature, we put
up artificial barriers to protect ourselves from it. That is what all our sciences and technologies are used for.
This phenomenon of man refusing to correct himself and seeking to dominate Nature instead is whats referred to as
building the Tower of Babel.
Since the days of Babylon, our egos have been gradually developing until they have reached their peak. Humanity
has become disillusioned with its ability to satiate its own ego via technological or any other kind of progress. Today
we are beginning to realize that this whole journey of ours was trekked in vain.
Due to the crisis and the dead end we find ourselves in the modern ruin of the Tower of Babel is happening before
our very eyes. Now all we need is to make the right choice.
The great Kabbalist, Yehuda Ashlag, known as Baal HaSulam (Owner of the Ladder) for his Sulam (Ladder)
commentary on The Book of Zohar, wrote in the 1940s that if humanity didnt come to its senses there would be a
third and then a fourth world war, with only a handful of survivors. These people will then unify with the universal law,
and the world will know true peace and love.

From the Revelation of Evil to the Correction Method
In the end, the Creator descended upon the earth with seventy angels and held court over that generation. This
passage speaks of the altruistic force (the Creator) descending upon the earth as a result of the breaking. In other
words, this force entered the egoistic desire (the earth).
It simply means that we suddenly saw ourselves the way we really are. This was made possible by the light of the
altruistic sparks that entered us. Like flashlight beams, they illuminated the darkness and granted us sight, and we
realized that all our actions are dictated exclusively by self-love.
Each of these desires was infiltrated by an altruistic spark during the breaking, turning our whole lives upside down,
demolishing the usual order of things, and forcing us to reflect on who we are.
Imagine how shocked people were when they suddenly discovered that they couldnt communicate with each other in
one language and were instead inexplicably speaking seventy different languages.
In other words, in the illumination of the altruistic Light, it was discovered that every desire lives only for itself. This is
how all people live. No one understands another, and all the slogans about love and brotherhood are empty words.
The true altruism highlighted the abyss that truly exists between egoistic desirespeople, nations, and the world
and showed that egoism does not allow us to love, be together, or speak the same language. Egoism is when
everyone cares only for themselves, speaking their own language that others cannot understand.
A terrible discord and turmoil fell upon the land. The people all picked up arms and began to kill their friendsand so
perished half of humanity.
In the altruistic Light, it becomes evident that the ego has no friends. It is designed to drive us to the extreme, pinning
us to the wall. Only then do we realize that we are trapped, slaves to the ego without any free will of our own,
realizing that everything we had done throughout our lives was at the command of self-love.
Man suddenly discovers that instead of creating, he was killing all along.
Entrenched in terrorism and drugs, feeling helpless and unfulfilled, he is ultimately brought to a desperate state. He
doesnt see a way out and doesnt want to move in any direction. He has become so distant from Nature that he
doesnt see from where salvation might come or what he can do. This realization constitutes the ruin of the Tower of
Babel within us.
What happens next? Next, a wisdom known as Kabbalah comes to the rescue. This wisdom was born back in the
age of Ancient Babylon, was kept secret for thousands of years, and is now being revealed throughout the world, for
humanity will never know how to continue to develop without it. Things will continue to deteriorate until humanity is
ready to utilize the method of the worlds correction as a solution to all the problems.
The Meaning of the Story of the Escape from Babylon with Abrahams Method is
based on the book, The Secrets of the Eternal Book: The Meaning of the Stories of the
Pentateuch by Semion Vinokur.
