Comment: When a person with an inclination for spiritual growth encounters Kabbalah for the first time, one simply feels this is what one needs. Then he gradually accumulates analysis of what is right and what is wrong.

My Response: What kind of analysis can there be, correct or not, for one who evaluates everything from his stomach or pocket? How can we objectively define something if we are completely inside our desires? All inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human matter is the desire to enjoy. Moreover, it is also selfish and wishes to constantly consume over and above itself and keep growing this way.

Inanimate, vegetative and animal matter are not self–developing as, for example, computers that do not develop independently, they just work. But there are such artificial programs that keep developing, improving themselves, and growing.

That is how we are as people, while the rest of the world, including animals, is not like that, it doesn’t need anything. The monkey lived in a tree five or fifty thousand years ago, and so it does now, and everything is fine. But the human generation differs from the prior generation so drastically that you can’t even put them next to each other.

This is a desire that is aimed not only at an independent evolution, but at development and, as it were, self-development. In fact, this is an inner program, but the desire is still looking for the best ways to grow: “Which directions should I develop in?” Thus, how can we, bugs living inside a pie, even think of anything other than the pie?! We don’t know anything else.

Comment: Precisely based on sensations. This truth is felt from the beginning.

My Response: Yes, you feel what you sense in your qualities, in your mind, which was formed out of your qualities. But where are the other qualities? Where are the other forms of sensation that are not yours? Where, naturally, is another reasoning, not the one you have today? You don’t know that.

You exist inside this pie like an insect or worm inside an apple. This is your world, in accordance to which you have been organized and developed, and this is what you feel. Your mind is created precisely this way.
