Q: How can a Kabbalist convey his situation to another person?
A: A teacher can take the “case” of his own situation, photocopy it, and express it in a form of an accurate mathematical formula, meaning Gimatria, and convey it to the student. The student then takes that formula, finds it within himself and implements it through his own spiritual powers. This way he goes through the same situation as his teacher. Gimatria is a mathematical formula that expresses the sum total of our spiritual experiences.
