Not too long ago, there was a very interesting discovery in science which revealed that the Milky Way is constantly swallowing up small galaxies and star clusters; its powerful gravity pulls these objects apart and their stars then become part of the Milky Way itself. Researchers have also found evidence that the Milky Way is eating up dwarf galaxies. In kabbalistic terms, we would say that the Milky Way has an enormous “Desire to Receive for the Self Alone”. The pull of the Milky Way is four million times stronger than the power of the sun. One second of the sun’s energy has the capacity to sustain our planet for an entire year; it is beyond imagination then that the energy of the Milky Way swallows up everything that comes close to it while giving nothing out. Two thousand years ago, the Zohar spoke about the ugly nature of the Milky Way—which can be viewed both literally and figuratively as that negative force of the Desire to Receive for the Self Alone—telling us that if it could infest our civilization, we would cease to exist. However, there is something much more powerful than this negative force—and that is the Lightforce of God. We don’t realize how desperately important it is to be conscious of the power of negativity on this planet. The Zohar explains that both proactivity and negativity exist in the air. While going for a walk in the park, for example, these energies have the ability to immediately overtake us.
