Parshas Hashovua - Phony Kabalist

Insights from Reb Shloima Miller
ולא קם נביא בישראל כמשה - אבל באומות קם.
ואיזה? זה בלעם בן בעור
ספרי דברים ל״ד:י

Mori V'Rabi Harav Hagaon Reb Shloima Miller Shlita quoted the Zohar Chadash, which states:

“Before a person is born, Hashem decrees upon him whether he will be a navi (prophet), a chacham (wise man), a baal Mikra u’Mishnah (master of Scripture and Mishnah), or one who possesses Ruach HaKodesh, etc.”

However, whether he will be a tzaddik or a rasha is not decreed — that is left to free will (bechirah).

Reb Shloima Miller pointed out that from here we see a powerful idea: a person can potentially possess Ruach HaKodesh and yet still be a rasha.

In other words, one may encounter individuals who appear to have spiritual insight or even so-called mystical or psychic abilities, yet this does not automatically define them as a tzaddik — and in some cases, they may not even be righteous.
