Question: Let’s say a person studying Kabbalah falls into despair because they cannot understand what spirituality is, and at the same time they feel lost in the ordinary world. At some point they reach a state where they belong neither here nor there. They are almost on the verge of madness.

You say: “That is good, it means the person is ready.” But how can he use that state if he does not know what to do?

Answer: Nothing will happen to him! It just seems so to him. His limited earthly capabilities and sensations cannot yet absorb anything spiritual, so it feels to him like he is being torn apart. But in truth, he is not being torn apart. There is nothing that can break.

I completely understand these states. I have gone through them myself. You just need to expose yourself to the influence of the upper light, and slowly, gradually, things will start to change.

It is evolution! There is no way around it. If our previous development up to this point took so much time, let this also take a couple more years. That is how it is. It might take 10 or 15 years.

And what else was a person created for if not to reach spiritual existence during his physical lifetime?

We think: “Okay, I will just step into the spiritual world and then start operating there.” But why? How do you know how many new abilities, data, and inner qualities are developing in you right now?

It is a vast system that you must absorb within yourself. This system is infinite. You need to gradually adapt to it. You cannot make sudden leaps here. There is a specific order to your development. It just cannot happen all at once.
