First, we should understand that our corporeal life exists within the limits of time, space, and motion. If we rise above these parameters, which is possible, we then experience complete freedom.

How, then, can we transcend these parameters? Newton’s physics accepts the limitations of time, space, and motion as a given. Einstein then challenged this view by stating that the limits of time, space, and motion are relative, and we can change them.

The wisdom of Kabbalah states that we ourselves can change time, space, and motion however we wish. Doing so depends on the extent by which we rise above our ego, i.e., our desire to receive for self-benefit alone. It is because our egoistic nature limits us within these three parameters, and they block us from viewing life as boundless.

There is also nothing greater in life than to exit these limitations. Why? It is because we can then feel life as eternal and perfect. Our current lives are defined by a certain finality that we try to avoid. In eternity, however, everything is in constant renewal.

In our egoistic reality, we feel desires and their fulfillments following one another, which gives us a sensation of time, space, and motion. Space, for instance, is a derivation of a desire, a lack, which means that we are missing something, and that is why we feel a desire or a lack. We then possess a perception of space, perceiving emptiness and fullness. By rising above our egoistic nature, we rise above the nature that makes us feel empty, and we thus enter into the sensation of eternity and perfection.
