To do exactly what one wants in an unlimited way.

Man can only be free in the reality infused, created, sustained by the quality of unconditional love and bestowal if man's primary desire, intention is to love and give unconditionally.

As we learn in the Wisdom of Kabbalah in the spiritual system the light of Hassadim (mercy) can go, enter, flow anywhere in the system. There is no restriction on it.

As soon as man acquired the quality of bestowal and unconditional love immediately one can freely roam in the system and do anything one ever dreamed if as long as it is covered by the intention of bestowal.It is like a fish that is suffocating outside of water but when in water it can swim wherever it wants. The point in the heart, or small spark yearning for bestowal, yearning for adhesion with the quality of bestowal is that fish that yearns to swim but is sentenced to suffocate in dry land instead. Only when we nurture, grow, strengthen that "fish" inside of us that it can jump back into the water despite being held back, can we enter the system of bestowal.

What is stopping us?

Our inherent nature, our self-love, our presumed individual freedom, individual independence. This "humanoid" that wants to live on dry land, in isolation, serving its own unique, egoistic pride is stopping the fish to teach the water. This "humanoid" believes it's free despite being 100% by its own self-concern, instinctively driven by running towards personal pleasure and escaping from personal pain.

Only through the right method, entering, sustaining, strengthening a purposeful, mutual environment can we above true freedom. There each member enters the environment with the only goal of growing the bestowing spark inside despite the overwhelming inherent nature. Through such mutual work, mutual self-annulment towards each other can people achieve the necessary strength to free their "fish", the spark belonging to the system of bestowal to jump "into the water" swimming infinitely in the force field of unconditional love and bestowal having achieved similarity of form.

Moreover this spark is strong enough to carry with it the "humanoid" previously stranded on dry land". That humanoid, entering the water and swimming, existing in it with the help of the liberated "fish"- the liberated intention for bestowal governing the "body" - becomes a real Man, human being that is similar to its Creator, to the force of unconditional love and bestowal creating and sustaining reality.
