The Fiftieth Level

From here:

"From the rule of Chochma in year -111 until 6129 are 6240 years, by Hashgacha a number close to 6000. These are the years that saw the rise and the evolution of human culture. The word B'Reshit hints, via the letter Bet, at two beginnings, the first through Keter and beyond, and the second through Chochma. During the ages, until modern times, the beginning through Keter was not known. Only the beginning through Chochma was revealed. Correspondingly, the world was held to be young. Correspondingly, the final redemption could not come until our times."

Moshe wrote according to what was revealed to him, according to 49 levels of Bina. According to the "fiftieth" level, redemptive history is divided into 50 generations of 120 years, starting with the year -111. In the year 5769, the fiftieth generation started. And so we see how the fiftieth level of Bina is called Keter, because only knowledge about Keter leads to the fiftieth level. Keter is Truth. The world is ancient.
