All the worlds, upper and lower and everything within them, were created only for man. … In the beginning, they were restricted and hung down degree by degree and world after world, down to our material world (Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Item 9).

Our world is at the very end of the spiritual degrees. All this is built in order to enable souls to ascend these degrees from the bottom up. Only then will people be able to give everything and receive nothing; that is, they will be in the opposite state compared to today.

In the meantime, a person, being completely receiving, i.e. being in the most remote state from the Creator, becomes the opposite of the Creator.

Later, thanks to the soul clothed in him, he constantly engages in the Torah and the commandments. Then one begins to attain higher degrees from the bottom up and thus climb the spiritual ladder.

This is how a person changes his or her qualities until one attains the qualities of bestowal and is liberated from the desire to receive. And then one completes one’s perfection in true adhesion with the Creator, for this is the only reason a person was created.
