Question: Since all that surrounds us is the emanation of the Creator, is love for the still, vegetative, and animate levels a transition toward love for the Creator? For example, suppose someone loves animals, flowers, etc.

Answer: No. A relationship like that exists in every person due to his animalistic essence. What we discover in this world is called our animalistic essence. It has nothing to do with the Creator.

Question: If there is none else besides Him, who am “I” who observes the picture of the surrounding world?

Answer: You are the point that has been given the possibility to feel itself supposedly outside of the Creator. That is your “I.”

Question: How do blind people feel the Creator? Do they have the ability to perceive the Creator?

Question: According to the degree of my nearing the Creator, can I determine what the Creator is and how He manages me and the world within me more and more precisely?

Answer: Yes. As we study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, we approach Him, and as a result, we truly reveal Him. But we discover Him within us.
