Question: In the article “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Baal HaSulam writes that spiritual correction lasts 6,000 years. What does it mean?

Answer: 6,000 years are 6,000 degrees that a person must go through in order to rise to the highest degree. Or rather, we are talking about desire, because the matter of a person is desire.

Therefore, everyone must go through all 6,000 degrees and through the worlds of Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, and Atzilut, reach the world of Adam Kadmon, and then the world of infinity.

Question: As far as I understand, does this article only talk about creating a system of correction from above downward, but not about the actual correction of a person who is trying to develop spiritually?

Answer: Anyone who wants to ascend the degrees of spiritual worlds must begin to systematically study Kabbalah. By studying this system, he will begin to feel its influence on him; he will feel that he is in this system and how and what is happening to him.
