The contents of Petach<\/em> 78 (the first in this section) are discussed at more length and frankly more clearly elsewhere in Ramchal\u2019s works, but he makes a couple especially cogent points here that he doesn\u2019t make there, so let\u2019s explore the lot of them.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the Petach<\/em> itself: Each action\u2019s outcome continues to exist even when the action <\/strong>itself is gone. So when <\/strong>for example a flaw has been repaired, the trace of the <\/strong>original flaw doesn\u2019t disappear — it remains a flaw that has <\/strong>nonetheless been repaired. The opposite is also true, God forbid<\/strong>, that is, a merit that has become a flaw is still a merit, but it\u2019s now a flawed merit.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because nothing is even forgotten before His Throne of Glory. And at the end of the entire cycle there will be an utter repair that would be based on everything that was done, good or — God forbid — bad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What we\u2019re presented with here is a daunting remark that nothing is ever forgotten or utterly rectified, and that everything will be judged in the end for what it was as well as<\/em> what it had become. Let\u2019s see those other discussions to clarify his points.<\/p>\n
