They dig into the Torah and Bible verses and reveal the spiritual system&rsquo;s secrets that are the aspect of &lsquo;Waters of Life.&rsquo; Because Rabbi Shimon and the rabbis of the Zohar were on very high spiritual levels, we cannot see what they could see and know until they tell us what they &lsquo;dug&rsquo; out of the well. Their revelations are not &lsquo;feeling&rsquo; but actual views of the system. Many Zohar paragraphs start with &ldquo;<strong>Come and see<\/strong>,&rdquo; inviting us to <strong>see<\/strong> what they drew from the &lsquo;well.&rsquo;<br>\nThe Torah is the guide, and the Zohar reveals the spiritual forces activated when we follow the Torah.<br>\nReading the sacred text of the Torah, Zohar, and other writings of Tzadikim connects us to the Light in the writings. It surrounds us at a potential level until our vessel is ready for the Light to move from the outside inside and expand our vessel. The Holy Ari was repeating his studies of the Zohar many times with fasting to disconnect from this world and be able to understand the deeper secrets of the Zohar. To reveal the &lsquo;Diamond&rsquo; of the soul, we need to break the rock that surrounds it and then polish it with a strong force to show its magnificent Light.<br>\nWhen connecting to the Light on the <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Malchut&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: #0000ff;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#1502;&#1500;&#1499;&#1493;&#1514;&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;Malchut is the lowest sefira of the ten sefirot. There is a level of Malchut in all worlds (Atzilut, B&amp;#039;riah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah). In the Daily Zohar studies, the mention of Malchut could be on the upper levels, not necessarily Malchut of the world of Asiyah that is the material world. In general, Malchut doesn&amp;#039;t have a light of its own but can draw from all the levels above it. Malchut can receive the Light in a pure process of &amp;#039;earning.&amp;#039;Malchut is an aspect of the female with a desire for the Light.The image of the sefirot below represents the lowest level of the world of Asiyah, Action, where there is an aspect of physicality, material existence.Malchut of the upper worlds manifests the levels below it.
