VISUALIZATION
The Relationship Between All Souls
The flash of light that unveils the relationship between all souls of all generations and the soul of an adept engaging in visualization is the beginning of a holy spirit.
When you develop this holy ability with regular practice and connect it to wisdom and good deeds, you will rise level by level, and attain a number of realizations. "Open the gates of justice for me; I will enter them, I will thank God."
Arpelei Tohar, p. 108
The Liberated Gaze
The more you perceive your spiritual state,
The more will you realize that all of your images
Can be limitless.
Your ability to visualize
Can be fully attained.
So visualize, to whatever degree,
Greatness and strength.
Still, you will attain less
Than a drop from the ocean
Of what can be grown and ennobled.
Your liberated gaze,
Touched with the joy of refined imagination,
Might satisfy you.
That still won't approach
The smallest degree
Of the true state of Eden
Within all of existence-
All of which reveals supernal joy:
That Eden of the Creator of all worlds.
Orot Hakodesh I, p. 176
When the Light of Our Soul Bursts Forth
We are not always fit for elevated spiritual experiences. Those many instances that lack any elevated illumination are to be dedicated to exoteric Torah learning and practical service of God.
But when the light of our soul bursts forth, we must immediately give that light its freedom, so that we may unfold, visualize, imagine, grow wise and attain, aspire and yearn to the highest heights, to the source of our root, to the life of our soul, to the light of the life of the soul of all universes, to the light of the supernal God, to His goodness and beauty.
Orot Hakodesh 10:2
