Question: It happened that during the lessons on The Book of Zohar, I was at home in front of the computer. Reading it together with everyone strongly influenced me. I do not have this opportunity now because I am at work or in transit at that time. What should I do when I am alone during the reading of The Zohar?

Answer: Listen in any state. Just listen.

Comment: But the images that come through The Zohar repel me, and I need some inner engagement, not just listening.

My Response: Try to understand what The Zohar says about the spiritual states of the group. After all, all of Kabbalah speaks only about the spiritual states of the ten, including, of course, The Book of Zohar.

Question: Do I need to engage and think of what The Zohar says and try not to picture physical images?

Answer: No. You have to resist and not picture physical imagery. On the contrary, everything should be translated into spiritual images, rightly or wrongly, but the very fact that you will resist the earthly depiction will be your great victory.
