Who Is Hiding The Book of Zohar?
When The Book of Zohar was hidden from people, which was from the time of its writing in the 2nd century until its revelation in the 13th century, no one called it hidden; they did not know about it at all!
Today anyone in the world can freely buy The Book of Zohar and read it. So why is it called a secret, hidden?
This Book has everything. The Zohar can reveal to us this world and the upper worlds in all their fullness. It is written at the height of all 125 levels of attainment of the entire universe and tells us about our entire path.
The only problem is how this book is closed, closed by the person himself who is not able to concentrate or to tune in correctly to see what is happening in the book.
The reader himself, of course, is not able to put himself in front of the text like he can with any other reading. He gets entangled in it, sees in it images of our world, history and geography, physiology and anatomy. He connects concepts, objects, and actions with his earthly understanding.
Imagine an electrical device with a lot of wires and parts that you connect incorrectly. Will you ever be able to put it into action? Of course not!
The problem is that everything is in front of us, but we cannot reveal it; we are not able to correctly use either ourselves or this system, which we combine in ourselves incorrectly. We do not have a correct approach to The Zohar.
A person must constantly—before and during reading—learn to tune himself to a new focus, understanding, and vision, and move forward in this step by step, slowly.
Attunement is obligatory because if he simply opens The Zohar and starts reading, he will only get confused and then it will be very difficult for him to correct this confusion and return to the beginning.
Therefore the whole difficulty lies in correctly entering The Book of Zohar.
That is why The Book of Zohar is accompanied by materials on tuning our instrument of perception: the soul!
