Now You Can Exit Virtual Reality and Discover a Limitless Reality
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.
