"Anyone who longs to attain the attributes of the Creator and unite with Him is called Yehudi (Jewish), from the Hebrew word Yechudi (unique), to signify the act of unification with the Creator. If a person has that desire, then Kabbalah deals with its realization. If there is no desire, that person will never approach Kabbalah in the first place. That is why there is no coercion in spirituality, and there is no commitment to practice it. Only those who have a desire will approach Kabbalah, which testifies to the fact their time has come to draw near the Creator.

"All souls are part of a single collective soul, but each of them develops at its own pace. That is why there are souls that demand spiritual development right now, and then there are souls that can wait. Most souls are still developing within the framework of our world.

"An individual cannot impose on him-or herself the desire for spirituality, rather, he or she wishes for different things in this life and at a very unexpected moment a desire for spirituality awakens. This is called 'the point in the heart' — a seed, the embryo of the soul. When that happens, the person begins to search and continues to do so until he or she finds the wisdom of Kabbalah.

"If a person is still at the stage when he or she hasn't come to realize where to proceed and why but only feels a vague desire for spirituality, it might take years and perhaps lifetimes before he or she comes to Kabbalah. That will be the case with the whole of humankind, as the prophet Jeremiah says: 'For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them' (31:33). Thereby, imposing the wisdom of Kabbalah on anyone is simply impossible."
