Spiritual time is elucidated by change of forms and degrees that are above time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">The Book of Zohar&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Sulam&nbsp;[Ladder] Commentary,<br>VaYetze, Item 139<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks only from the root of\u00a0Assiya\u00a0in spirituality and upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Rabbi Nachman of Breslev,&nbsp;Collections of the Moharan, 225<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The secrets of the Torah are clothed in allegories and riddles in the Torah because of the spreading of the Torah and its descent from the sublime degree to this corporeal world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Ramak,&nbsp;Know the God of Thy Father, 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Regarding the entry,\u00a0Adam Kadmon, I was appalled to see that a corporeal form was depicted for the concept of\u00a0Adam Kadmon\u00a0of the Kabbalah, which is only a metaphysical concept, a Godly concept. God forbid that we should allow ourselves to materialize these sacred concepts, even as a way of studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Rav Raiah&nbsp;Kook,Letters, Vol 1, 162<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Woe to that person who says that the Torah is meant to tell literal stories, and in uneducated words of Esau, Laban, etc., for if that were the case, even today we could turn words of an uneducated into a Torah, and even nicer ones than they. If the Torah is meant to show mundane matters, even world rulers have better things among them. Let, Let us follow them and make them into a Torah as well. Rather, all the words of the Torah are sublime secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">The Book of Zohar&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Sulam&nbsp;[Ladder] Commentary,<br>BeHaalotecha, Item 58<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Such is the Torah. It has a body, which is the\u00a0Mitzvot\u00a0of the Torah, called \u201cbodies of the Torah.\u201d This body clothes in dresses, which are stories of this world. The fools in the world see only that clothing, which is the story in the Torah, and know nothing more. They do not observe what exists underneath the clothing of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">The Book of Zohar&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Sulam&nbsp;[Ladder] Commentary,<br>BeHaalotecha, Item 62<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story in the Torah is the clothing of the Torah. Whoever thinks that that clothing is the actual Torah, and that there is nothing else within it, will be cursed and he will have no share in the next world. This is why David said, \u201cOpen my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things from Your law [Torah],\u201d observing what is beneath the clothing of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">The Book of Zohar&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Sulam&nbsp;[Ladder] Commentary,<br>BeHaalotecha, Item 60<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Woe to those wicked ones who say that the Torah is no more than a story, and regard only the clothing. Happy are the righteous who view the Torah appropriately. Wine lies only in the jug; likewise, the Torah lies only in that clothing. Hence, we should consider what exists beneath the clothing. Thus, all of those stories are the clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">The Book of Zohar&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Sulam&nbsp;[Ladder] Commentary,<br>BeHaalotecha, Item 64<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There is a strict condition during the engagement in this wisdom \u2013 to not materialize the matters with imaginary and corporeal issues. This is because thus they breach, \u201cThou shall not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness.\u201d In that event, one is rather harmed instead of receiving benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Baal HaSulam, \u201cIntroduction to the Study of<br>the Ten Sefirot,\u201d Item 156<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All the words of the Torah are sublime secrets.
