Question: You once said: “Unless you are disconnected from above,” which has happened to many Kabbalists when, at a certain moment, they were disconnected from spirituality against their will.

Answer: The upper force can do absolutely anything! We are, after all, set in motion within this grand machine. We exist within it.

However, we have been given the ability to rise above our existence in this machine and become aware that we are inside it, live in it, operate within it, are set in motion according to a specific plan, and are executing a specific program. In other words, we can develop an understanding that we are governed by the upper force, and through this understanding we can attain the governor, justify Him, learn everything about Him, and become like Him.

At the same time we will always be executing exactly what He triggers within us. We are constantly under His commands.

However, the goal is to reveal His governance over us, to recognize it as good, just, true, infinitely harmonious, and perfect, and to adhere to Him precisely through attaining this governance. In doing so, we rise to the level of the Governor, to the level of the Creator; we attain, understand, and become like Him. It is as if we begin to launch our own program and implement ourselves.

In essence, we never oppose Him in any way. We simply come to realize that His way is absolute perfection and follow it without any coercion. It turns out that at the highest level of attainment, even if there were no commands from Him, we would act in exactly the same way. In a sense, we replace the Creator.
