In every movement forward there is a corresponding resistance; in political language this resistance to change is called the Status Quo. American education focuses on making money and staying in power.
The Cabala explains, found in very movement forward are two extremities and the center; the center is where the stability lies; the extremities pull against one another, one side motivated by heaven and the other by earth–together, like the line on the horizon they merge in motion.
What makes this process interesting is the Yetzer Hora/Bad Picture–a force sent by God to tempt the human being by introducing pictures into the brain that inspire greed and avarice. The truth is seen in intention, as it says in the Talmud-Book of Law: Everything is known in heaven except for fear of heaven.
Fear is synonymous with with consciousness as seen in the word Yira/Fear connected to the word Riya/Sight; sight inspires fear–the more we see into the heavens the more conscious we are of the Creator who created heaven and earth. Only God knows what is intended in the heart and the heart is where intention becomes free will.
