- People do not understand what Roach Hkodesh is. They therefore have doubts regarding stories of people that reached these levels.
-The average person uses about 3-5% of their mind capacity. Through the use of meditation techniques one can alter his state of conscious to achieve much higher levels of mind.
- In the advanced states, a person can perceive signals that normally would have been blocked out. Only when he has fully quieted his mind and is in full control of his thought process can these signals register.
- Signals such as these are not limited to messages of the future, they also give a person other the abilities.
- These signals can come in the form of voices, visions or inner awareness. Sometimes a person can make contact with Angels, demons and other spiritual creatures, who may have the ability to give over information.
- When a person reaches such levels in meditation, he is drawing from one of the two sides, the side of holiness or the side of impurity.
- If a person has purified himself using the methods taught in the Torah, the information he receives will be truthful. However if a person is impure he might be able to meditate but he will be rooted in a place of impurity the information he receives will contain many lies along with some scraps of truth.
- Roach Hkodesh contains many levels. Where a person can reach, depends on his deeds.
- The state of Roach Hkodesh does not come as a constant state it must be developed little by little . If a person keeps on working on it eventually he can achieve a constant state, where he is always bound to holiness.
- When a person first wants to receive the influx of the holy spirit he must fully purify himself by doing the mitzvos. This makes him into a vessel ready to receive the light. The mitzvos line up with different parts of the soul, all the pipelines must be rectified to receive pure light.
- A person then uses kabbalistic meditations to begin ascending through he spiritual worlds until he reaches the level he wishes s to attain.
- At first these experiences are rare they may come at times such as when a person meditates after praying with a lot of devotion.
- There are certain methods one can use to receive answers. An example being, where the initiate visualized the Alef Bet swirling around him. He must then be able to combine and permeate them to get the results.
- The Holy book Shari Kedusha by Rabi Chaim Vital is a guide to receiving Roach Hkodesh. The first three chapters describe the purification needed to achieve these levels as well as how they work. The fourth chapter which was not printed until recently, describes the meditative methods used to bring one into such as state.
