Question: Could you please give some historical dates for a better orientation to the history of Kabbalah?

Answer: Adam: 5772 years ago, or 5772 – 2012 = 3760 BCE – the date of his revelation of the upper world.  Hebrew chronology begins from this point.

It should take 6000 years for all people to reveal the upper world; that is, all of humanity will reveal the upper World in the remaining 6000 – 5772 = 228 years.
