Question: Rabash and Baal HaSulam were great Kabbalists who reached high levels of attainment. If a person advances along the spiritual degrees, does he also reach their level or are they completely different souls?

Answer: I have not reached it yet.

Question: But can any person do this?

Answer: Of course, he can rise even higher to complete correction. I do not know who is at which degree, but everyone must reach the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).

Rabash and Baal HaSulam were certainly great. I just haven’t attained their height yet and therefore can’t say how great they are. In our world, a small person looking at a tall one can say: he is one meter eighty centimetres or two meters tall.

But in the spiritual world, you only perceive the degree that is directly above you and no more. You can’t feel beyond that. You can’t measure and say, “He reached this or that level in the spiritual worlds.” How would you know those worlds? You don’t know anything.

In our world, too, we don’t realize how limited we are. We think we grasp a lot. But each person grasps only what they’re able to grasp and thus forms a picture of this small world based on their sensations, understanding, and maybe just a bit beyond themselves: “If I were a bit more developed, what would I then feel?” In truth, we only feel to the extent we are capable of feeling.

Question: But did Rabash complete the correction of his soul?

Answer: Most likely. I don’t know. I have not reached this level, so I can’t say anything.

Question: But you still hope to reach it too?

Answer: I hope so. But I speak only about what I truly see and feel.
