Question: Should facts be presented in a way that evoke emotion in the listeners when disseminating Kabbalah?

Answer: The facts you convey should be perceived both emotionally and logically.

Baal HaSulam, in the article “A Speech for the Completion of The Zohar,” writes that the teachings of the Ari were aimed at the intellect, the influence of the Baal Shem Tov at the heart, but today both intellect and heart are involved together.

Question: Fifty-fifty?

Answer: Today, the intellect has more influence. We are closer to the Ari than to the Baal Shem Tov.

Therefore, the period of the Baal Shem Tov, the era of Hassidism, has ended, and we now lean more toward the Ari.

We must reach people specifically through rational explanation by presenting Kabbalah as a science that truly explores the structure of the world, its cause, and its purpose.
