What Makes a Superhuman?

Physicist Michio Kaku envisions a future where technology propels humanity toward a “super-future,” with devices and machines designed to improve our lives. In theory, this sounds promising. Imagine distributing devices to everyone that, instead of distracting or isolating us like phones do, could truly make us better. That would indeed be revolutionary.

However, technology will not save us. The idea of digitizing a person and their memories is intriguing, but without correcting the person, shifting our focus from self-benefit to the benefit of others and nature, such advancements risk leading us to a dark future. If we fail to align our internal development with our technical capabilities, we will find ourselves in a world so despairing that people would rather take a pill to escape it. For technology to be beneficial, it needs to serve our shift from prioritizing self-benefit to that of benefiting others and nature.

Above all of our technological dreams, there exists a vast, eternal “supercomputer”—nature and its laws of altruism, interconnectedness, and interdependence. Kabbalists also call nature “the Creator” as well as several other names, defining a supreme intelligence that orchestrates everything to show us our limitations and urge us to connect with it.

What makes a superhuman then? A superhuman is not someone who collects vast amounts of information or builds technological marvels. A superhuman is rather one who acquires nature’s qualities of love, bestowal, and connection.

Rising above our earthly limitations lets us perceive and sense a higher dimension of existence. While we remain in our physical bodies for now, we can make moves to elevate our attitudes to each other, to perceive reality above our inborn egoistic perspective, similar in form with nature’s force of love, bestowal, and connection. In this elevated state, we can experience a level of perception above our current reality. It is not an extension of the four-dimensional world we know, but a wholly different plane of existence.

Infinity is the infinite connection between us people and the integral laws of nature, or as we say in the wisdom of Kabbalah, between creation and the Creator. It is not a network of separate links but a state of total fusion where all distinctions vanish. In this state, the connection between the controller and the controlled is so complete that they merge into a single whole. This is what we call oneness. The purpose of creation is to unite humanity with nature’s altruistic, interconnected, and interdependent laws—with the Creator—in a boundless, eternal connection.
