The role of&nbsp;<em>The Book of Zohar&nbsp;<\/em>as a means to reveal the Creator is the thing that was hidden, and that is now revealed. The&nbsp;<em>Sulam<\/em>&nbsp;commentary opens before us the ability to correct ourselves and to discover the Creator. This is why Baal HaSulam disclosed&nbsp;<em>The Zohar<\/em>. And because he concluded thousands of years of concealment of&nbsp;<em>The Book of Zohar<\/em>, these and other acknowledgements35 soon appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following words, which were found among his writings, give us a clue into the spiritual level of Baal HaSulam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And God said unto me: \u201cGet thee out of thy country,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/86475#anchor_ftn1\"><\/a><a><\/a>[<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/86475#f1\">1<\/a><\/strong>] to the pleasant land, the land of the Holy Fathers, where I will make you a great sage and all the sages of the land shall be blessed in you, for I have chosen you for a righteous sage in all this generation, to heal the human suffering with lasting salvation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Baal HaSulam, \u201cThe Prophecy of Baal HaSulam\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And by a Higher Will, I have been awarded the impregnation of the soul of the Ari &#8230;
