Question: You say that when spreading Kabbalistic knowledge a person may not even understand the material received, but some mechanism is triggered inside him, and this is more important than if he understands the explanation with his mind.

How does it work?

Answer: Yes, the main thing is that it first happens in feelings and then the mind understands.

Why do I need to care about the mind at all? It only serves the feelings. First I see a picture, feel it, and then I start thinking about it. It is this way in everything in the world and in everything in our perception. The mind is only a servant of my feelings. It defines feelings, measures them, sorts, compares, analyzes, and gives me an opinion.

Therefore, if I need to change my opinion about my feelings, this is one job, and if I need to change my feelings with the help of the mind, this is a different job.

Question: But how does the physical dissemination of Kabbalistic knowledge take place?

Answer: Only from above. We give a condition for the light to spread even wider, to penetrate even deeper.

Due to the fact that we connect externally with other people, we allow the light to act through us on them. In this way, they gradually change their opinion, their attitude toward us, to the world, to everything.
