Healing Well of Miriam

The Soul of Man was created a unique being in all the universe—in the image of the Creator—both celestial and terrestrial.  This made Adam a partner in the process of the physical world’s creation, but it also instilled within him the desire to KNOW the Creator.  The very breath of the Creator that brought him to life also tethered his heart to the Heavens through the upper levels of his own Soul.  In the Garden of Eden, Adam walked and talked with God, communing with Him as part of his daily life.  The most heartbreaking part of the expulsion from the Garden was the distance from this previous closeness.  When God uttered the words: “Adam, where are you?” the idea of “loneliness” was birthed into the human heart—and thus into the consciousness of Creation itself, a sadness of isolation to be experienced by other creatures, as well.  From that point onward, deep in the Soul of all children of Adam was the yearning to find the way back to God—truly knowing Him as Adam was created to do.  And the alleviation of loneliness would be another aspect of repairing the world–tikkun olam.
