Who Is a Kabbalist?

Many people think that Kabbalists lead a pure and virtuous way of life, and that they were awarded their high attainments and proximity to God because of their humility.

But the truth is, Kabbalists obtain their spiritual degree by turning their egoistic nature, inherent in all of us, into an altruistic nature, equal to the Creator in its qualities. On the surface, a Kabbalist seems like a completely ordinary person: working, learning, and performing “normal” social duties. However, a Kabbalist experiences a reality that is hidden from most of us: the reality of the Upper Force that governs nature.
