In The Zohar, just like in the Torah, there is no requirement to read necessarily in order; you can open the book anywhere you want!

It is like Psalms; you open somewhere, on any verse, and you read it. You can even start from the middle.

The main thing when reading holy books (written by those who attained the Creator from the quality of holiness, bestowal, the quality of Bina) is not what to read or what to read about, the main intention is what do you want to achieve by reading?

It is because you anyway read about the upper world, which you do not feel and do not understand.

The Zohar is the highest source of all the holy books. This is the most powerful source of upper light, the light of correction. It is like an infusion to a patient, it is the medicine that you take.

So, what do you want to achieve by taking this medicine? What does it mean for you to be healthy? The power of The Book of Zohar can become for you both a life-giving elixir of life and a deadly poison, one of the two!

Therefore, before opening the Book, you should think, feel, adjust yourself, prepare, and look for what are you going to get out of it now?

You are going to receive a medicine whose symbol is a snake. Its poison may really be poison or it may be a cure for all diseases.

So before opening The Book of Zohar, we must stock up on right intention and not to take a deadly poison but a life-saving elixir of life.

If people study the Torah without the right intention, then it becomes dry and lifeless. This is especially dangerous if we are before such a huge source of power as The Book of Zohar.

And it is not by chance that it was hidden from ordinary people for so long, but was revealed to Kabbalists.

A Kabbalist (that is, a person who has achieved the right desire) somehow always found this book from someone, through someone; in some way it was sent to him from above and brought him to where he could find it.

But it was not revealed to other people because we were previously unable to arm ourselves with the right intention. Therefore, The Zohar could only bring us harm.

And today, we open The Book of Zohar with the intention that it will bring us good, that it will become a source of life, and, God forbid, not turn into a deadly poison.

After all, there is such a powerful force in The Zohar that you need to be careful to open it only together, only with the right attitude.

And that is why it has revealed itself in our time; it gives us wonderful opportunities. And we want to offer it to all the people.

But everyone should know that only the right intention during the study of The Zohar turns it into the elixir of life.
