Our objective is to return to native life and creativity. A nation can only attain native life and creativity from the source of its life and creativity, from its own nature. An individual cannot achieve true life and creativity in isolation from the native life and creativity of its nation, the source of its human soul. Our own nature is the nature of the Land of Israel. It stamped us with a physical and spiritual imprint that will never be erased as long as we feel within us a spark of independent life. This independence has sufficient strength to withstand any external influence from another natural spirit, as long as it is free and active and absorbs in its own way anything it takes in from outside. Erosion of its national form, together with the individual form of the people of the nation(since the two are interdependent) may be expected in the diaspora as long as we consider it as "exile", as long as we are passive elements in the life of others, influenced by the creativity of others, without the ability to adapt from them selectively according to our own lights, without our own "purchasing power", without a source of native life and creativity from which we can make our own contribution in return… To the extent that our self-perception increases within the nation and our self-awareness deepens and our work towards rebirth in the land of Israel progresses, so also will the countries in which the people of our nation are scattered cease to be exile and become countries of residence. The people of our nation will reside there just as the people of other nations reside outside their native countries. Then the Jews living in those countries will no longer be passively influenced but will become active influences, not only with what they received from others and processed with their own thought processes and imagination, but influences in their own right, from their own native spirit.
