The wisdom of Kabbalah in itself is not some kind of secret wisdom. It always pertains to the human being, rather than something that exists independently of them. We cannot judge anything that exists outside a person; those are either an abstract form or an essence which we cannot approach. Everything we say relates to the human being.

Therefore, we do not define what the science is in the abstract, but rather we examine how it is revealed in relation to the individual. If a person is prepared, something can be revealed to them. If they are not, it is better not to reveal it, because doing so would cause harm.

You cannot reveal these things until the person has developed to a certain level. You can reveal this wisdom to a person only when he is able to grasp the true nature of reward and punishment, moving beyond animalistic definitions, and become ready to perceive new concepts. Then they will come to see that what appears to us to be true in this world is not entirely correct from the perspective of eternity.

A person who is not ready may understand all of this completely incorrectly. For example, he might think: “Oh, so everything has been prepared in advance, everything is guaranteed, everything is already signed and settled. That means there is actually neither reward nor punishment, no coincidences, and no free choice at all. In that case, I might as well close my eyes and wait for the end.”

People who are unable to understand this correctly will misunderstand what you reveal to them. It is not that they are forbidden to know too much because they might abandon their spiritual work or fail to do what is required of them. No!

They will fail to do what is necessary because they do not yet possess the appropriate understanding. And more importantly, their souls are not yet ready to digest the true definitions of reality. After all, it is precisely these true definitions that lead to the conclusion that you must work, invest yourself, and move forward through faith above reason.

But if an undeveloped person, who exists at the inanimate level, hears from the outside what we are discussing now, he might say: “So nothing has any meaning at all. The Creator knows everything from beginning to end, while I am simply being deceived somehow. So, what do they want from me?” He will shut everything out and leave.

That is precisely why there was an instruction not to reveal this wisdom to everyone, and why everything remained concealed until our time. Today, however, people have developed enough to hear it without being harmed. Therefore, there is no need to conceal Kabbalah any longer.
