In order to tease a person and lead him to read the authentic sources and understand why he needs it, I write my books about what Kabbalah offers us.

But after that, a person has to read texts that give him or her the right direction, although this is also found in my books. Then one has to read the texts about the upper degrees one must attain, and this too is in my books.

Nevertheless, I cannot say my books replace the books of my great teachers. After all, the original source is best. I cannot compare my spiritual level with that of my teacher Rabash and even more so with his father Baal HaSulam. The more I advance, the more clearly I see what a huge difference there is between us.

I remain small precisely to serve my generation. I agree with not being elevated, although, given what I have done, maybe I could have gone higher. But then I would be more out of touch with the generation.

There is never any calculation with a person. The calculation is always general because the individual and general are equal. Therefore, if a Kabbalist can be of greater help to others by staying lower, then he will stay lower. The main thing is to serve.

Question: So it is impossible to rise to high degrees with such a psychological basis?

Answer: It is possible. It all depends on the person.

Even by reading my books you will later discover much higher levels than you can perceive today because it depends upon the individual. The inner level they are written in matters. My level is much lower than Rabash’s. And you cannot even compare it with Baal HaSulam. This is a person who has attained the entire ladder of spiritual ascent.
