It is The Theory of Shapes. It has an immense spiritual impact; it is full of mystery and secrets and with it one can triumph over one\u2019s egoism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong>&nbsp;Man cannot defeat his egoism or his desire to enjoy for himself, because that desire is imprinted in him. The aim \u201cfor himself\u201d permeates his every cell, starting from the still part of man, through the vegetative, animate and even the speaking, which is the intelligent part of man, the soul (or desire). Man simply cannot correct the intent from \u201cfor me\u201d to \u201cfor the Creator\u201d by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when we understand our inability to correct our aim by ourselves and badly want to correct ourselves can we begin to ask the Creator for that miracle. When He sees that our only desire is to rid ourselves of the intent \u201cfor myself,\u201d He reveals Himself to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we see the eternal power of the supreme and almighty Creator, we become permeated with the desire and the strength to change our intent from \u201cfor me\u201d to \u201cfor the Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This operation is called \u201cThe Light in it (the Kabbalah) Reforms.\u201d The Light is the Force of correction, which comes down to man from the Creator. The desire to correct your own nature, to know yourself and understand your \u201dI,\u201d can only be satisfied through Kabbalah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With any other way, you will indeed try to change something within you, but it will not be the true desire to change your nature of self-indulgence, although you might think that that is exactly what you are seeking to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no other theory and no other practical method! But if you want to explain your theory to me, I am willing to read it and together we will interpret it. If one has put a lot of effort into ridding self of one\u2019s nature, the theory, even if incorrect, is worthy of attention. Perhaps I can still show you the right way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Through a continuous spiritual quest, I have comprised a new theory about Kabbalah.
