interesting concept that the mitzvot are connected to our genetic code. so by transforming ourselves we transform our genetic code? that’s amazing!
Hi Natalie,
It’s not so much that we change this code, but rather we speed up the rate at which this code is revealed. To understand this, we need to understand these things called reshimot.
Everything we went through, are going through, and will need to go through is preset in the reshimot. The reshimot are our spiritual genes. Just like when we investigate our corporeal genes, we reveal our entire ancestry, where we came from, as well as the reasons for our inclinations, tendencies, etc. Similarly, the reshimot are our spiritual genes. They are all the states that we have gone through and all the states that we will need to go through in the future.
In other words, they detail the process we need to undergo starting from the initial thought of creation all the way until the end of correction. Essentially our entire path of development is preset in these reshimot. So all the forms we need to evolve through and all the desires that will awaken in us is also preset there. The only choice we have is in the pace we go through it. It’s like all of life is one big strip of film or a movie reel. Every new moment is a new frame, a new reshimot is shown to us. And we cannot change the movie at all, but only to fast forward or go one frame at a time.

Hi Kebede Mamo Dessis,
I don’t have access to your email, but here are some posts about the point in the heart from Rav Laitman’s blog:

I was reading in Kabbalah Revealed that “Minerals exist so that plants can feed on them and grow; plants exist so animals can feed on them and grow; minerals, plants, and animals exist so humans can feed on them and grow” (p. 87). But Michael Laitman is also teaching that this is the reverse order of the fall, in which humans existed before animals, which existed before plants, which existed before minerals. How was this possible? He just said that humans cannot exist without animals, plants and minerals. Animals can’t exist without plants. Plants cannot exist without minerals. Do you see what I’m saying? By this logic, it would seem impossible that there could be a descent in reverse order when the things it needs to survive did not yet exist. Can you help me make sense of all this?
Hi Dale,
The order of development goes from the still, to the vegetative, to the animate, and in the end to the speaking (human) levels. This same order of development takes place both in our world and in the spiritual world. So I’m not sure where you read/heard otherwise. Maybe you can share a link to the source so I can comment on it.

Hi Peter,
The screen is the intention. More specifically it’s the intention to bestow. It would be nice if we could just choose a screen, choose an intention and go with it. The problem is that our egoistic nature does not allow us to have a clean intention for bestowal. In the best case scenario we can aspire towards an intention of bestowal and through such an aspiration, such a game of “as if” that we play within the kabbalistic group, we extract the force of the light to help us make this aspiration a reality.
