Kabbalah Thought of the Week

We all exist in one perfect state, but do not feel so. Our sensations are unimproved and distorted; according to them, our state is imperfect.

Our inner feelings are so unrefined that we nevertheless perceive our most blissful state as imperfect. Even now, we are in an absolutely perfect state. However, we are sent such thoughts and feelings that it seems to us that we are in a different, bad state, as it is said, When we return to the Creator, we will see it was all a dream.

Then we will realize that our sensations were totally unimproved, that we saw reality quite differently from what it really was at the time. We could not perceive it correctly, for our senses were incorrectly tuned.
p. 28, chapter "The Introduction to the Article 'The Preamble to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,'" in The Science of Kabbalah (Pticha).
