Question: The article “Rabbi Shimon’s Exit from the Cave” talks about how Rabbi Pinchas stands on the shore of the Kinneret and talks with two birds as he wonders where Rashbi is hiding. In The Book of Zohar everything is coded in such a way that it is unclear what is being said. Why couldn’t it have been written more simply?

What does it mean that he talks to the birds and asks where Rabbi Shimon and his son Rabbi Elazar are?

Answer: Rabbi Pinchas wants to come in contact with Rabbi Shimon; therefore, he turns to all the forces of nature. As a result, he receives the desired contact, which, of course, is carried out, not through birds chirping in the trees, but through the spiritual forces of the animate level.

He contacts Rabbi Shimon, sees him emerging from the cave, and is ready to meet him.
