The Mind of a Kabbalist
Comment: You have a very broad mind, but the human brain cannot perceive and sense the entire universe so broadly. There is wisdom in you.
My Response: This is a consequence of spiritual attainment, not because on the earthly level I am intelligent. On the earthly level, I am not Newton or Einstein.
Question: Then where does your vast knowledge come from?
Answer: The fact is that I have a completely different volume of desire. In my desire, I look at everything that happens in this world as a game of little children. I see our world on a level that I can easily grasp, understand it through-and-through from top to bottom and from bottom to top in its entire volume, in all its connections. For me, it is like a sandwich.
I see it consisting of four parts: still, vegetative, animate, and human levels of matter, and see how they interact with each other and gradually develop so that the human level will finally rise upward, into the spiritual world, and pull all the other levels along with it.
I see this purely speculatively, visually, but precisely because I have developed a spiritual Kli, a spiritual desire, within myself. Otherwise, I would not be able to see with such volume and such clarity from top to bottom and, so to speak, manipulate it.
I have spoken with scientists in our world with great minds who contain so much information based on the fact that “someone said,” “someone thinks,” “according to this,” NS “according to that.” They drown in an enormous mass of information, unable to chew it. Because they rely on knowledge, and therefore, it is difficult for them.
Question: But you cannot see through all the states of other people, can you? You are not omnipresent to see everything as if on a plate.
Answer: Yes, I see nature in general. Of course, I do not know all the states, all the metamorphoses, everything that happens and passes through each one. I simply know the general plan of development. I have gone through it myself and therefore understand what the others must go through since the path of the individual and the path of the whole are absolutely identical.
I know the nature of all transformations and changes, and therefore, it is no secret to me. I do not know a person’s private states; I am not a psychic who can look at another person and say what he is thinking, like Wolf Messing.
Kabbalah, by the way, does not give such abilities at all (to do some kind of extrasensory tricks in our world, perform various stunts, add twenty-digit fractions, numbers, and so on). It does not allow seeing the past or seeing the future in a private sense; it simply gives the general system of all development. You feel how you pass through this system, and understand from what you are now going through, how it must develop further.
You do not enter private souls. And why is that needed? What difference does it make what I might see in others?
Question: So, you recall the states you went through, and only because of this can you understand what is happening with a person?
Answer: Of course, only from my own experience and only up to the degree on which I am today. If you ask me about what is above this degree, I can only guess, I am not certain, absolutely not certain.
Moreover, all my experience tells me that all this is absolutely incorrect. On the contrary, if you tell me: “What do you think: will it be this way or that way,” I can tell you anything, and it will still be unpredictable.
