Joshua 8:6 Kabbalah: Kuntres Mattan Torah

וְיָצְא֣וּ אַחֲרֵ֗ינוּ עַ֣ד הַתִּיקֵ֤נוּ אוֹתָם֙ מִן־הָעִ֔יר כִּ֣י יֹֽאמְר֔וּ נָסִ֣ים לְפָנֵ֔ינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר בָּרִֽאשֹׁנָ֑ה וְנַ֖סְנוּ לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃

And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say: They flee before us, as at the first; so we will flee before them.

Kuntres Mattan Torah

It is obvious that the reality he created is only in the image of “aim driven Providence,” without considering the order of the developmental stages. For these deceive us and distract us from understanding their purpose, being constantly in an opposite state to their complete work. Regarding such matters, we say that “experienced people are the wisest,” since only the experienced can observe a person throughout his stages of development until he reaches completeness. Such a person can assure people that they must not be wary of the flawed images the person assumes as he matures but trust in his beautiful and clear final stage. (The reason for the gradual sequence any creature has to undergo is explained well by the wisdom of Kabbalah; this is not the place to expound on it).
