What Does the Science of Kabbalah Teach Us?
A person can be said to have begun to study the science of Kabbalah when he learns how to change himself in accordance with the upper force. And then, in line with this, he begins to feel certain reactions to his changes and senses what these changes are supposed to be.
These reactions and impressions are so strange and unusual that no science of this world (since all of them deal with sensing the upper force without changing the qualities of the Kli [vessel]) can help us in studying the science of Kabbalah, in sensing the upper force through changing the qualities of the Kli.
Therefore, Kabbalists must teach us such things that would seem very strange if they were happening within the framework of ordinary learning in our world: “Open your mouth, taste this, and if you so desire, you must feel sweetness in it. But if you wish to feel it differently, then you will feel bitterness in it.”
In the material world this cannot be. We remain within our unchanging qualities. That is why our degree is called the “inanimate” level, and a person does not need to be taught what he ought to feel.
Each quality present in him, according to its own reaction to an influence, feels that very reaction, that impression. Whereas in the spiritual, when a person begins to change his qualities, he must first of all know how to change them and how, in accordance with these changes, to interpret what he feels.
Of course, in this awareness of the spiritual there is also a natural side. If the qualities have changed, the person feels changes, a different state, which is called “another world.” His world, that is, his impressions, inner sensations, and awareness, everything has changed. He feels himself to be in a world completely different from the previous one.
But it must be explained to him where he is, just as an infant is taught what the surrounding world is. The same holds for a person who, as it were, has himself changed his sensory organs. Of course, this happens with the help of the upper force, yet still through his own efforts.
However, despite the fact that he himself changes himself, the picture that he begins to sense in his changed sense organs is a new, unusual, strange picture. It is necessary to explain to him what it represents. And then a person discovers from the books, not only the method by which he can change himself, but also an explanation of what he feels in the process, into what place he is entering.
Like a person who suddenly finds himself on a deserted island and, having suddenly come to, does not know where he is and what is happening. Where he was before he remembers with difficulty, but can still somehow imagine it. But where he is now, he does not understand at all.
Thus, the science of Kabbalah not only teaches us how to change our qualities, but also helps us to know our impressions, that is, that world in which we find ourselves each time in accordance with our changes.
Each time a person is given a support, a firm foundation, through explanations of what kind of world it is in which the person now finds himself, what kind of degree he has ascended to, what causes brought him to it, what its consequences are, and how it is possible to advance further.
