The Kabbalist is a researcher who studies
his nature using a proven, time-tested and accurate method.
He studies the essence of his existence using tools we
can all utilize – feelings, intellect and heart.
A Kabbalist looks like an ordinary person.
He need not have any special skills, talents, or occupation.
He need not be a wise man or wear a holy expression. At
some point in his life, this ordinary person decided to
look for a way in which he would find credible answers
to the questions that were troubling him. By utilizing
a distinct method of learning, he was successful in acquiring
an extra sense – a sixth sense – which is the spiritual
sense.
Through this sense, the Kabbalist feels
the spiritual spheres as a clear reality, just as we feel
our reality here; he receives knowledge about the spiritual
spheres, the upper worlds, and the revelation of higher
forces. These worlds are called upper worlds, since they
are higher than and beyond our world.
The Kabbalist ascends from his current
spiritual level to the next one. This movement brings
him from one upper world to the next. He sees the roots
from which everything that exists here has developed,
everything that fills our world, including ourselves.
The Kabbalist is simultaneously in our world, and in the
upper worlds. This quality is shared by all Kabbalists.
Kabbalists receive the real information
that surrounds us, and feel this reality. Therefore, they
can study it, be familiar with it, and teach us about
it. They provide a new method through which we can meet
the source of our lives, leading us to spirituality. They
use books that are written in a special language. We must
read these books in a special way, so they become a Vessel
for discovering the truth for us as well.
In the books they have written, the Kabbalists
inform us about the techniques based on man’s personal
experiences. From their all-encompassing point of view,
they have found the way to help those who would follow,
and then climb the same ladder as they did. Their method
is called the wisdom of Kabbalah.
