Let’s take a collective approach to this. If we collectively were to just simply reform the Daat, not perfect it; we would transform the world over night. However, most of the collective have a Daat that remains in a rut. A Daat that is interested in self not the collective.
We collectively are meant to be a single living organism. This will be accomplished when our ego, our Daat, becomes subservient to the Creator’s Keter, the thought of creation. This will transform us from knowledge of the world to knowledge of the Creator. When the ego blesses the person, the individual as well as the collective, will become Israel. Israel is from two Hebrew words Yasher El meaning direct to El. El is referencing to Keter, so going Direct to EL is going direct to Keter. Direct to the thought of creation, the highest level of thought there is.
Jacob did this back in Genesis 32:28 and the surrounding passages. Please reread this event. Esau’s angle was the worldly, egotistical, Daat. Jacob wrestled with this ego and eventually forced it to bless him which in turn blessed the Creator. Then Jacob was named Israel because now his ego capitulated to the thought of creation.
Ask yourself: Is there a part of us that strives to pursue the Creator and a side that will not? Do we find ourselves in conflict between those two? Is it almost as if we are both sides at the same time? Now think of yourself as Jacob and place yourself in the wrestling match.
