Kabbalistic books consist of two parts. One part directs you to intention: what you should do when reading texts.

The second part is the texts themselves when, by reading them, you invite upon yourself the upper light, the hidden force that exists in the world that is called the Creator. Thus, this force of nature raises you and develops you.

In our world, when a small child plays with toys, this force develops him because he instinctively wants to be big. In the spiritual world, I myself have to want to create such a desire in me and play.

What am I playing with? With texts. I read about my future upper state, and then the same force that develops a child in our world will develop me. It is called “concealed light” or “the light that returns to the source,” “the reforming light.”
