The five spiritual worlds are degrees of concealment between us and the World of Infinity which we have to overcome. Hiding behind them is the force of bestowal and love, which is currently concealed from us. We have to reveal it by attaining equivalence of form with this Force of bestowal and love, called the “Creator.”

How can we acquire at least some measure of equivalence to Him? We have to hope that The Book of Zohar will reveal a quality inside us that is similar to our corrected state, the Creator, Malchut of Infinity, Zeir Anpin, or the Light. We have to expect that the book will affect us in such a way that the quality of bestowal and love will emerge in us. This is, in fact, why we read The Book of Zohar. Otherwise, there would be no reason for us to even open it.

A question I received: So do we continue to work with The Book of Zohar on all 125 degrees?

My Answer: Definitely. Baal HaSulam writes this in “Preface to the Book of Zohar.” He explains that The Book of Zohar is written from an elevation of 125 spiritual degrees. Therefore, it affects us from that elevation, from the World of Infinity, and it corrects us on all the degrees until we reach the end of correction.

Therefore, this book is our guide on the path from the now and until the end of correction.
