Everyone knows that a key is made to go into a lock to open a door. The symbols of the key and the lock can be found in all spheres of life. Yes, everywhere there are keys and locks to open doors because everywhere there is a matter that the spirit must penetrate and open so as to reveal its riches.
The cabbalists teach that someone who has traveled the 32 paths of wisdom is capable of opening the 50 doors of Binah. Binah is the divine Mother, the primordial matter, the purest and subtlest. And the celestial Father is the key that opens the locks of matter. The one who knows how to open this matter benefits from its inexhaustible resources. In a sense, this is what atomic scientists have done. They have succeeded in opening a door in matter and releasing this incredible power capable of consuming everything. They found a key that enabled them to achieve atomic fission, but they still do not know how to use it properly for the good of humanity. It is thanks to the spirit, the only true key, that they will one day open the locks of matter and release its hidden powers.
