I’m happy when this is all starting that it doesn’t feel utterly foreign to me. I know this is where I’m supposed to be. It feels like I could have done this before. When I hear the videos I can hear spirit saying it’s like riding a bike. The bike is about balance. about finding my balance and that things aren’t what they show. But the meaning behind them is more empowering to the soul than we can imagine. I think learning to step back from what we have been all taught our whole life to see and really see things for what they are. is going to be life-changing.
Hi Amani,
It’s normal to not understand these things. This is why the Kabbalists tell us “it’s not the wise that learns”. Meaning we’re not learning this material simply to acquire knowledge, to store it in some box in our brains. After all, If knowledge was the path to spirituality, then a supercomputer loaded with all of the Kabbalistic texts would be the most spiritual being in the world. Obviously this is not the case.
So why do we spend so much time studying if not to gain knowledge? Because through the study, we draw the force of the light. This force is what makes all the internal changes, clarifications, corrections that need to be made. After we extract enough light and correct ourselves to a certain degree, then we won’t just intellectually philosophize about spirituality, but we will begin to feel it in practice. And only out of that feeling will we begin to truly understand it.

From the “Attaining the world beyond” page 36 “It is for this form of human condition that this world and
the Higher Worlds were created.”
Which “human condition” is this referring to? Is it the complete sinner asking the Creator to break him free from egoism and hence becoming complete righteous?
Thank you
Hi Hooman,
Yes, you can say that. Essentially the worlds are levels of concealment. World (Olam in Hebrew) comes from the word concealment (ha-alama). So the 5 worlds are 5 levels of concealment between us, the desire to receive, and the Creator the general force of love and bestowal. Why was it necessary to create the worlds? Or in other words, why was it necessary to conceal the Creator? In order to give us room to develop freely. If the Creator was revealed, there would be no room for righteous or sinners, we would all simply act like robots in accordance with His will.
