Question: Is it possible to distinguish any stages from the moment a person first becomes acquainted with the science of Kabbalah to the moment when he decides for himself that he will correct his nature?

Answer: People consist of one egoistic desire, and nothing is unique about them. Although there are some combinations of certain qualities in each of them, they are all the same.

What could there be in them other than the usual animal desires to realize oneself, enjoy, and so on? In other words, calming one’s egoism at different levels is what a person desires at every moment.

With the same thoughts, he comes to study Kabbalah. He just wants to calm himself and his desires and reveal and fill them. But it is difficult here. First he enters a state of depression and despair and suffers from a lack of opportunity to attain the meaning of life. Without revealing this meaning, the whole world is unpleasant for him, and he does not know what to do with himself.

That is, a person is searching. He is led to understand that if he does not reveal the Creator, he will remain an animal and in general will exist in vain.

When does he start to learn it? Not right away. He must go through certain stages of accumulation of despair, aspiration, study, incorporation into others, and unconscious contact with the upper world because all this must somehow form in him. He realizes that there is no other way out. Not because he flies on some kind of wings—no, there is nothing else. A person comes to us out of despair and thus enters into the study of Kabbalah. Today, we see this across all of humanity.
