During the reading of The Book of Zohar, each one needs to demand what seems to him to be most important. But one needs to understand that by reading any Kabbalistic book and especially The Zohar, we awaken the Light that Reforms. This Light works on us to the extent that we are similar to it.

Suppose a wind blows on me. If I move straight towards it, in exactly the same line as it does, it influences me to the maximum. But if I move towards it at an angle, then according to this angle, I lessen its influence on me. If I am at a 90 degree angle in relation to it, I feel the influence as if it throws me aside. If I oppose it, meaning turn my back to it by 180 degrees, then it influences me in the opposite direction.

Everything depends on my position in relation to the Light. If I connect to it, the Torah for me is the elixir of life, but if I oppose it, the Torah becomes the potion of death for me. The Light itself operates all the time.

Thus Kabbalists warn us not to open Kabbalistic books without the correct intention. It was forbidden in Kabbalah, and Kabbalists frightened people because they didn’t want to inflict any harm on them.

But now we are already in a state where it is permitted for everyone to study the wisdom of Kabbalah since we are all becoming mutually connected and different laws are operating here. But when we want to reveal the spiritual world, we must position ourselves directly towards the Light. Will it be the Light that Reforms or the opposite? Each person has to decide for himself.

The Book of the Zohar, Chapter “Pekudei (Accounts),” Item 157: The waters rise and fall in the chairs, illuminating from below upward and from above downward. Those who descended mine the deeps and break them. Those who rise enter through those holes in the stones, in the Masach de Peh de Rosh ZA, rising and filling for seven days, which are the seven Malchuts from Chazeh and above.

The Zohar only talks about the connection of the desires: how they come together, what combinations of connections are created as a result of this, and what Lights are revealed according to the equivalence of form between the connections of desires and the Light, with the Light being the attribute of bestowal they discover between them.

To the measure that you correct the general system and connect different desires and their groups together, to that measure you enliven the system. And you discover that the attribute of bestowal, the Light, vitality and life, is flowing in it. There is nothing else but this. Outside of this system, neither the Creator nor the created being exist; everything is within it. It stands before us as broken because this is the way we discover it from within our uncorrected attributes. This is in order for us to attain, though our connection, its attributes, trends, and parts, and how they work together.

We deal with live “building blocks”: You join the separate parts, they become alive. Thus, gradually, as you join more and more parts, you revive the entire system. It begins to operate, and you discover the various phenomena in it.

We have no other work. Now, at this time, we approach the practical work of uniting our desires, our thoughts. They reveal themselves before us as more and more connected from day to day. Thus it seems to us that the world is confused, but it is us who are confused. We don’t understand that the world is becoming more connected than we are. We are shown that there is a breakage between us, a crisis.

We must understand that this breakage is in our perception. We have to begin to connect, to unite our desires. Kabbalists talk to us only about this, about one only place that needs to be corrected: the ties between us.

Question: What is the significance of The Book of Zohar in the process of global integral education? Is The Zohar’s revelation in our generation a remedy for the crisis, or does it accelerate this process? What precedes it?

Answer: First of all, it’s very important for us to read The Zohar for a half an hour in our daily lessons. This is how it was with Rabash, which is why I keep to the same “dose,”except we read The Zohar in the morning hours, rather than the evening, which is even more effective.

We are also preparing a book called The Zohar for All, meaning for those who wish to join us, who understand that by reading this book we draw the Light that helps us to unite and that only by virtue of this Light can we achieve real unity between people.

That’s why we all must read this book. After all, The Zohar speaks only of our corrected connection, of our corrected inner system of all humankind, in which we will all unite in thought and feeling, achieve one desire, one thought, and thereby discover ourselves at the degree of Human, similar to the Creator, the upper world, the higher life.

That is why I am confident that our efforts to prepare The Zohar for All will not be in vain, that a time will come when it will be read and used by the masses. Just as we’re reading The Zohar today, this book will be read by external people in various ways, such as on the Internet or through social sites. Indeed, The Zohar is the source of the Light that returns to goodness, and it can be drawn on all levels. And returning to the source or goodness means returning to the state before the breaking, namely to the state of unity between us.
