By reading Kabbalistic texts, we draw the upper force upon ourselves according to strict laws derived by Kabbalists from nature. They explain that this force originates from a system called the Rosh of the world of Atzilut, the head part of the system.

How can we attract this force? Through our unified desire, referred to as MAN. In the Torah, this is described as “manna from heaven.”

In Kabbalah, we engage in real spiritual actions, the results of which we must begin to sense within ourselves. This helps us understand our unity, to desire it and simultaneously not desire it.

In other words, our egoistic force must grow, and at the same time, the altruistic force above it must grow as well. Both develop within us—downward and upward—and form a spiritual vessel in which we begin to feel unity above our common egoism, known as Mount Sinai. The word “Sinai” comes from the Hebrew word “Sina,” “hatred,” symbolizing mutual rejection.

Like Moses, we must ascend Mount Sinai, this mountain of hatred, unite with one another, and reveal the Creator, becoming acquainted with Him. For this to happen, a massive mountain of mutual hatred and rejection must form beneath us. Despite this, we must rise above it in an effort to achieve unity and love.

When you reach this state, you undergo a phase of adaptation and self-correction, referred to as the “forty days on Mount Sinai.” This corresponds to the level of Bina, the quality of bestowal. At this stage, you achieve adhesion among all members of the community and begin to sense within it the manifestation of the upper force.

With the help of this force, you continue to correct yourself within the community, thereby progressing further. A real system arises between you, in which you interact and advance together like climbers. You know your goal, understand the path, support one another, and become spiritually “sighted.” This is what we must achieve.
