Why Kabbalah Is Necessary

to Continue to Research

Reality

Our perception of ourselves and reality

determines how we sense ourselves

and reality. This is the basis for all our 

research. We need to understand what

a human being is, and if we have any

existence in and of ourselves. Quantum

physicists may be right when they argue

that man, like all of matter, is merely a

“bundle of waves.” Perhaps the actual

reality is very different from that which

we presently see. However, if we can

establish a fundamental, objective

principle that will not depend upon our 

subjective sensation, a principle that

defines “us” and defines “reality,” we will have a standard by which to assess our present perception.

Many researchers believe that the more we progress in our research, the dimmer and vaguer we find things to be.

They feel that we are groping in the dark. Our misunderstanding of ourselves and the world is at the core of the

present global crisis we are facing. Without doubt, the scientific approach of researching the depths of reality is a

good one, but we find there is a boundary, an impasse that we cannot penetrate.

Human nature, human perception, and everything science has discovered will not facilitate a forward movement. We

will feel that from a certain point on, everything becomes “intangible” and “evaporates.” This is what quantum physic

is already beginning to discover–that matter is suddenly “lost,” leaving researchers in a kind of vacuum.

 A sensation of that sort stems from having lost the sense of the present reality, before having perceived the

“approaching” Upper reality. This happens when one does not possess the tools to perceive that “other” reality. Baal

HaSulam states (in his article, The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah ) that the only way to obtain that method is t

learn from a Kabbalist who has already mastered it.

 

Do You Know that You Exist in a State of Perfection?

Our state in this world is far from our real state, from the standard called Ein Sof , where we are all connected as one

desire filled with the Upper Light. The separation, or “exclusion,” occurred to allow us to rise from the degree of desir

to a higher degree than that of the desire itself, meaning the degree of intention. This enabled us to make free choice

and acquire discernments and revelations with which we could transcend the creature-receiving degree and reach th

Creator-giving degree.

Descending from the state of Ein Sof to the state of this world unfolds by dividing the single Kli  into many particles. I

spirituality, “exclusion” means “difference in qualities.” By independently nearing the true state, we begin to

understand the Thought of Creation, above the state of Ein Sof. Thus we are taught how to return to the state of Ein

Sof by ourselves.

But for us to return to Ein Sof , we must first know the essence of that state. We are all in the state of Ein Sof , a state

of love and mutual guarantee, forming a Kli  to the Upper Light. To return from this world to Ein Sof , we must try to

build a similar state in our interrelations. The Ein Sof is the truly existing state, though for the time being we are in an

imaginary state with respect to our blurred senses. In other words, we are in the state of Ein Sof even now, but our 

senses are “veiled” with dust, which blurs our perception. We need to “clean up” our senses. Thus, the state of Ein

Sof is the standard we are working to attain.

 

How Kabbalah Researches Reality

We can never clearly understand a state while still in it. The present state becomes clearer only as we ascend to a

higher state. The method of Kabbalah provides a new picture and outlook that enable us to understand our prior 

reality. Interestingly enough, we do not encounter many obstacles when dealing with the still, vegetative, and animat

Yet, when attending to matter at our own degree—the speaking—we invariably fail. Our helplessness in resolving th

social and familial problems of our time is only one of many testimonials to that state.

The method of Kabbalah elevates us to a higher state than our present state. From this new perspective, we can see

our former state and analyze it. This is the fundamental difference between the Kabbalistic mode of research and the

ordinary scientific method. In scientific research, the researcher attempts to penetrate the same reality he or she is in

like a child trying to study what it means to be a child. In Kabbalah, however, the Kabbalistic researcher rises above

the present level and studies the former, lower level.

Kabbalists do not engage in studying reality in the ordinary scientific manner. They do not try to broaden their narrow

perception into a wider perspective because they do not think it is possible. Only correctly researching reality can

facilitate our progress toward achieving the next steps. Without proper research, we will simply remain at the level of

studying matter.

Proper research elevates the researcher to the level of the Forces that operate behind matter. When we perceive

these Forces, we perceive what happens in matter as well, since these Forces become our own. The researcher 

senses these Forces as conducting his or her own life, at his or her disposal, perceived tangibly, through the senses

rather than intellectually.

 

Why Changing Perception Requires Internal Changes

One cannot research reality at a higher degree than nature scientists perceive using only rational and sensual

perception. To move to a higher reality, one must change one’s senses. Sophisticated research tools will not help

here.

By studying nature, we can imagine a higher reality opposite to ours, where everything is aimed at giving

instead of receiving. We can also assume that above our egoistic nature, everything operates with love and

interconnectedness, that everything is actually a single Thought.

Scientists have found that all parts of reality are harmoniously connected, that each part helps the others and is vital

in the collective system. The parts of reality are “considerate” with one another, as if cells of a single body. This findin

brought researchers to hypothesize that the general law for every part of reality is the law of love. The only problem

that the researchers cannot raise themselves to that level and be that nature.
