The wicked are wiped out of Dumah’s book because he takes into the calculation only from the middle line, where the wicked are not included. And who will desire them at the revival of the dead? During the revival of the dead, the angel Matat will receive the account in writing from the graveyards from Dumah. But who will desire those wicked ones that are not counted by Dumah for the revival of the dead? (Rashbi, Zohar for All, Vol. 3, Chayei Sara, And Dumah Rises and Calculates, p.12)

Question: This text can confuse a person because how will a person perceive such words as “dead” or “cemeteries”? It is just scary.

Answer: You must understand that The Zohar is written in the “language of branches,” like most Kabbalistic books.

This is a method of transmitting knowledge and, most importantly, impressions to us in order to attract the light of correction from the spiritual world, that is, from our corrected state.

We are not talking about physical bodies or our material world—we do not need to correct our arms and legs (a regular doctor should treat them).

The Zohar speaks about the correction of the soul. Therefore, although it uses the words of this world, they all point to spiritual concepts, that is, to our inner forces and qualities.

It is these properties that I want to explore now to understand what is uncorrected in me, what needs to be changed, and what I should wish to correct. This is the purpose of the book.
