What is Revealed in The Book of Zohar?

Question: What is revealed to me when I am reading The Zohar?

Dr. Laitman’s Answer: You reveal what is happening on the higher level, in spirituality. Our reading The Zohar is very much like a little child growing up—every day he understands life a little bit more, gains a greater understanding of what is happening, and reacts to things more consciously.
Similarly, when we read The Zohar, we gradually reveal a new, spiritual world and gain a greater understanding of it with each passing day. We reveal spiritual qualities inside ourselves on a sensory level and we therefore begin to feel, and then understand what is being said, similar to how we revealed this world when we were growing up.
Spiritual revelation is not rational but sensory, and it happens through a new sense called “the soul,” brought about by the Light that The Zohar radiates to those who approach it with the right desire. This may not sound serious and you may wonder, “How is this a science? After all, we are just reading a book.” But when we desire very much to be in that picture or that reality about which it is telling us, just like a baby simply feels: “I want it and that’s it!” then we suddenly reveal it. Nothing else is required of us except this desire.
Baal HaSulam, the greatest Kabbalist of the 20th century, writes, “Although they do not understand what they are learning, through the yearning and the great desire to understand what they are learning, they awaken upon themselves the Lights that surround their souls.”
It works the same way as how a baby wants to know the world he is in. When we desire to reveal the spiritual world, it suddenly becomes revealed to us.
