The Science of Kabbalah states that the purpose of researching the Upper World, part of the creation that is originally concealed from us, is to reveal cause-and-effect relationships in the entire Universe. What interests us is not an object itself, but relationships between objects in all their diversity and endless variations. This cause is the Upper Force – the Creator or the supreme ruling principal. The actions stemming from it descend from above downwards, and every action, naturally, gives birth to its cause. Precision of cause-and-effect relationships in Kabbalah manifests itself so clearly, and prevails over any other research or approach so much so that basically, it is the most important thing that we study.

Why is it the most important thing? It is because if in our world, in this area of the Universe that we perceive, we can attain the material itself, then we can attain its qualities as such, their inter-relationships, and what results are produced from it, etc.

That is why at the beginning stage, when a person studies Kabbalah just in order to start sensing the Upper World, it follows that he is researching, in principal, bare formulas of cause-and-effect relationships.

One can say that the reason behind the search for the Creator is yearning for pleasure. The ultimate pleasure is to merge with the Creator, that is, to reach a complete correspondence, a complete equilibrium between the creation and the Creator. One can say that this need for this pleasure is the very reason for pursuing the search.

This is because the creation is created as opposite to the Creator, yet is striving for it from the very beginning, in an attempt to attain correspondence of qualities, to become identical. This is our engine; this desire keeps us restless. On all levels, under all circumstances, whatever we desire, we are unconsciously striving for the supreme.
