Question: If the main thing is to attract the light, why do we analyze the structure of the worlds described in TES in such detail in the lesson?

Answer: We do not aim to analyze the detailed structure of the worlds; we only try to gather some details to participate in what Kabbalists tell us.

But when studying TES, like all else, we first have to think about the soul, where all the elements I read about exist and all phenomena occur.

Kabbalists, who have discovered the quality of bestowal within themselves, analyze what actions can be performed in it and write about it. Apart from this, there is nothing, either we are in an imaginary reality of this world, which does not exist and then disappears, that we live in as in a dream, or we reach the genuine reality of bestowal, the reality of the Creator.

After all, there is “None else besides Him,” and if something exists, it is only there. TES tells us how this true reality is revealed to us within our desires.

To the extent I enter into this reality and discover it acting in me, to the extent I join and identify myself with it, I can write about it as a Kabbalist. And other Kabbalists do the same. That is, we all write about the same connection with the eternal upper light and what we reveal in it from our black point of creation, a point out of nothing.

When I reach contact with the light, similarity with it, I feel different phenomena beginning to occur in me, manifesting in me from top to bottom (the light of Hochma) or in width (the light of Hasadim). These phenomena give rise to all sorts of feelings in me; I describe them since I have the opportunity to express them in words and sounds.

But all our impressions come from that black point that encounters the light and becomes like the light. This is the whole science of Kabbalah—the revelation of light inside the black point of creation.
