Using The Zohar for spiritual progress requires us to relate to it as a certain kind of medicine. The symbol for medicine is a snake, the venom of which can be either a deadly poison or a remedy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-682cb00 p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"682cb00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Therefore, in order to receive a positive impact from The Book of Zohar, we need to approach it with a positive intention\u2014that it will bring us closer to our higher spiritual form, more loving, giving and positively connected. Reading the Torah without such an intention makes the reading dry and lifeless, and it is even more dangerous when we read The Zohar, which is the strongest source of the spiritual light.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30814d0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"30814d0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04b7686 p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04b7686\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It was no accident that The Zohar was revealed only to Kabbalists, and concealed from the populace, for generations. Kabbalists are people who have attained a spiritual intention, i.e. one of love, bestowal and connection equal to the higher state that The Book of Zohar describes. Due to their congruence with the spiritual system, they were brought to a place where they could find and use the Book.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c75ce7e p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c75ce7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It was concealed from other people because back then they were unable to arm themselves with the spiritual intention. That is why the impact of The Zohar would have been harmful if it were open to all. Today, however, we can open The Zohar with the intention that it will act on us as a potion of life, and not as a deadly poison.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e9f7a4 p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e9f7a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Zohar contains such an immense force that we need to be careful to open it together and with the right intention, so that we will experience its positive impact. That is why it has become revealed in our time and offers us incredible opportunities, and we wish to offer it to everyone. However, everyone approaching this book today should know that it can be an elixir of life only if approached with an intention to reach the same levels that it discusses, which are heightened states of love, bestowal and connection, in resemblance with the source of life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b23ad9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0b23ad9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"983\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/impact-zohar.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2163\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/impact-zohar.webp 983w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/impact-zohar-300x146.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/impact-zohar-768x375.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 983px) 100vw, 983px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f8d6f53 elementor-hidden-desktop e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7f8d6f53\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2379244d elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2379244d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"151\" height=\"129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/related-sketch.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1133\" alt=\"Arrow pointing upward above a semicircle.\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cba2a8a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7cba2a8a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63a03ae5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"63a03ae5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Related articles<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bc8338 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6bc8338\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb5f711 related-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb5f711\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kabuconnect.com\/zohar\/\" target=\"_blank\">Enter the Zohar -
