So what role does Keter play for me?  It represents the Will of the Creator.  Since it is an anchor point, all judgments, corrections, and alignments are adjusted to that point.

The Torah is meant to reveal that point of reference.  It is sort of a road map.  The map is of very little help if we don’t know where we are and where we are to go.  The Torah reveals our current position and where we are to go, such as a house.  However, the map will not reveal the experience or details of that house.  It is an intimate thing that cannot be part of the written Torah.  The soul part of Torah is our aim.  The soul behind the Torah.

To follow Torah as a list of laws is to miss the very reason for the Torah and miss out what the thought was that created the Torah (see Nugget #58).  The written Torah is not our objective.  The house mentioned above, through experience, we could find out the purpose of creation.  Through that we find out the thought behind the Torah, the soul of our origin.

When the Torah is studied, THE point of reference/purpose of Torah is gradually revealed.  The laws of Torah are to help us reach up and find that point of origin of all knowledge.  It’s like a spotlight; it illuminates only that which it is pointed at.  This “spotlight” is from the Creator and cannot move.  So in order for it to illuminate us we must move to that point of reference.  This requires the transformation of our lower soul and its alignment with the upper soul.

Ask yourself, how is the Torah similar to the United States Constitution?
