Question: In his perception, a person divides time into three notions: past, present, and future. What are these?

Answer: The present is the sensation that comes from the influence of the inner light. This is more complex than Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Einstein described a special perception of the external world, while Kabbalah describes a special perception of a person’s inner world, which is much harder to grasp. After all, one must overturn one’s entire self to understand it, whereas to understand the theory of relativity one needs to overturn only the mind.

The sensation of the past is determined by the light—that is, by the fulfillment that was in the desire and has left it. The fulfillment that is inside the soul is the present. And the fulfillment that stands before the soul, ready to enter it in the next moment, is called the future.

Question: And what is the “soul”?

Answer: The soul is the system through which we sense that we exist and which becomes filled with the upper light. If we develop ourselves through the method of Kabbalah, we begin to feel these fulfillments, and the past, present, and future that are associated with them.

Past, present, and future are the influence of the light that was, is, and will be upon me. My desire to enjoy becomes filled with the upper light, called the Creator.

The sensation of past, present, and future depends on a person’s level of development. Some people are not concerned with the future at all, and others immediately forget the past. Many perceive only a narrow slice of the present. The sense of time is individual for every person.

Question: And where do I exist, in the past, present, or future?

Answer: You exist in the past, the present, and the future because time does not exist by itself; it exists only within your sensation. All your future states already exist, right up to the very last one where you and the Creator merge in equivalence of form and you reveal how the upper force fills you, the light that previously remained outside.

Upon reaching this final state, which is called the end of correction, we become filled with all the light that is now still outside of us.
