Thirst for Knowledge

546.02Question: Have you always spoken in an eloquent way?

Answer: I have always been able to speak beautifully. People were even amazed at my Russian, although I did not study anything specific. However, I have read tens of thousands of books. I have always been very inquisitive. We had a subscription for technical magazines such as Knowledge is Power, Science and Life, Radio, magazines about art, and others. At that time I walked around all the museums in St Petersburg (Leningrad at that time) and in Moscow.

In general, I was swallowing tons of information as I had an unsatisfying thirst. But I have understood quickly that it does not give anything. I moved here from Russia for the most part because of the untamable thirst for knowledge. It seemed to me that I would not be able to gain it there. And indeed all interesting jobs were off limits for me.

However, when I moved here exactly the same happened to me. In addition, all my conscious life from 18 to 30-years-old I spent searching and at the same time I suffered greatly from an ulcer in my duodenum that led to terrible bleeding. A doctor friend told me that nothing would help me and said, “You have such a personality, it will get worse.”

As soon as I started to study the wisdom of Kabbalah, within a year or year and a half I realized that this wisdom has all the answers and the ulcer started to go away. After all, I had come to the source that I gradually had to unearth. Of course, I still had a multitude of questions, nothing was clear, and I was in inner conflict, but I was already in the theme.

I did not know Kabbalah and did not understand it, but I still was in it. I was getting satisfaction studying it and catching it.

Gradually the ulcer disappeared and there was nothing left. Today all my x-rays are absolutely clear.

Later on when I started to attain the wisdom of Kabbalah, everything started to assemble into one single picture like a song, a pleasure, or a joy. There was nothing else I needed. I was ready to sit in my room practically all my life because I was seeing eternity as I was delving in it.
