Expression of Kabbalistic information
Question: Do you ever have moments when you are surprised that you give out certain information?
Answer: Yes, it happens that I can easily express some information. It is a muse; it is simply a human property.
There are Kabbalists who could do it amazingly. I envy them a lot. After all, if I weren’t a teacher, I would float at my level and would be trying to rise all the time. But since I have to simplify the information I receive to the level of my students, I envy those who have fluent language.
But I was specially given a very difficult and complex Hebrew. I generally do not have a good grasp of languages; I have an absolute inaptitude for them. It’s hard for me in this regard.
Therefore, if I succeed, it is like a birth, like labor pains, when you can finally give out some information. When you feel that it has entered a person, he understands it, and all the information has smoothly jumped out of you like an embryo jumps out along with waters during a successful childbirth, then it certainly gives a lot of pleasure. You are amazed about the extent of it that came from above.
I clearly understand that everything is given from above because with my qualities that I also received from above, I am not capable of expressing my thoughts easily. There are even more problems here. Even if I had this ability, Kabbalistic information is still clothed in more or less convenient forms depending on how much the student needs it.
After all, there are circumstances when there is a need to confuse a student a little, give him an opportunity to unravel the tangle by himself. Then he will start using his brain and will sense that he still lacks his own efforts. Therefore, I not only make my presentation dependent on the lack of an opportunity to present the material normally, but also on the fact that the student does not need a more explicit presentation, he must figure it out himself.
Let’s take The Book of Zohar. It is written in a very confusing language, although it in principle it is close to our style. This is amazing! The book was written 2,000 years ago, but it talks about things that are very easy for us to communicate today. It is interesting. Although it is incomprehensible, its style is close to us.
When I was working on it, adapting it to the modern reader, I practically did not have to do anything special. I translated it from Aramaic to Hebrew, removed various additions, clarifications, references to other sources, outside commentaries, etc. in order to make the text more readable.
Practically, the whole task in Kabbalah is to adapt the spiritual material for the consumers, for the students.
