You will have to read Rams recent post no : 72744327 ... to understand what I am referring to.
part of the post reads quote :
Scholem showed how the mystical-Kabbalistic concepts developed by Rabbi Isaac Luria of 16th century Safed, a center of Jewish scholarship and mysticism in Ottoman Palestine, provided a theological framework for messianism. Luria taught that during creation the light of the creator broke the vessels into which it had been placed, creating only a shattered world. Jews could bring redemption through “tikkun,” the repair of those vessels, by keeping the commandments. The Sabbatians invented a darker version of tikkun, which required its believers to plumb the depths of evil to rescue the sparks of creation. Scholem called it “redemption through sin.”
