Question: According to Kabbalah, the purpose of human existence is to reveal the the Creator. What exactly is revealed to a person?

Answer: We exist within a certain informational field, and we do not know where or what it is.

We do not know where we came from, how we exist, what governs us, or where our thoughts and desires come from at every moment. We do not know what directs us when we decide to act.

We float along the current of life, and it seems to us that we are doing things, but in truth, we are not.

In order to understand where we are and who we are, we must reveal the governing force.

This is precisely what the wisdom of Kabbalah is engaged in. There is no greater purpose in our lives than to reveal the upper force and its governance over us. Only then will we know who we are, why we are, and how we are.

Question: What does the word “revelation” mean in this context?

Answer: I do not even know whether I truly exist right now or not, and what my life really means.

Comment: But I feel that I exist in some kind of world.

My Response: But do you feel that you are being governed, and who governs you?

Comment: True, we do not perceive the root cause.

My Response: We perceive neither the beginning, nor the middle, nor the end.

The attainment of the Creator must reveal everything that I want to know about myself, my existence, and reality as a whole—where I am, why, and what for.

Question: So when the reason for my existence and its purpose are revealed to me, is that what is called the revelation of the Creator?

Answer: No, that is the revelation of His attitude toward me. But essentially, that is how He is revealed, only relative to us.

Question: Is this some kind of sensory attainment?

Answer: Of course, it is sensory, direct, and scientific.

Question: Where does this become revealed in a person? Let us say one person attains it, and another does not. What is the difference between them?

Answer: The one who has attained the Creator perceives our world as a part of a vast reality.

He sees how everything happens not only in this world but in all of creation. He understands why each action occurs, with him and with everyone. He feels the entire picture.

We cannot even imagine what that means. But from that picture, a person understands everything that is happening to him and to everyone, in all of history and geography. It does not matter where, he understands the whole of creation and the Creator who governs it.
