Kabbalah Has Come Out of Hiding

Kabbalist’s explained that the wisdom of Kabbalah has been waiting in concealment for millennia until the present time, when it would be revealed. This is because in previous generations the bulk of humanity was not interested in finding out, “What is the purpose of life?” Whereas now, many people are asking this question and are ready to study the wisdom of Kabbalah, which answers it.

But if Kabbalah wasn’t really necessary until the present day, then why did it emerge thousands of years ago? Why wasn’t it discovered in the modern age, the way quantum physics” is being discovered only now?

In fact, the first Kabbalistic knowledge was received about 5700 years ago by a man named Adam”. He was one of many people who lived on earth at that time, and he differed from other people in that he felt a desire for spirituality. Twenty generations after him, about 3800 years ago, an inhabitant of ancient Mesopotamia named Abraham became the next person to search for answers and to attain the spiritual world.

Why was the presence of such special individuals in history necessary? After all, the rest of humanity didn’t really ask about the purpose of its existence. It’s only recently that many people have begun looking to the wisdom that those special individuals have developed – the wisdom of Kabbalah. So why did Kabbalist’s appear so long ago? Why couldn’t they simply emerge today, when others are more receptive to their knowledge?

Kabbalah explains that these special, spiritually developed individuals were necessary in each generation because the wisdom of Kabbalah had to be revealed in different forms over time. It had to be adapted to humanity’s development in each period of time. While most people were not aware of it, those individual Kabbalists" were accomplishing tremendous work, researching the universe and their own attitude to reality. In doing so, they perfected the Kabbalistic method from one generation to the next, so that it could reach the modern era as a modern, scientific method of studying the spiritual world.

This is why Kabbalah had to originate in the ancient world, in a simple, archaic form, the way it is revealed in the book Raziel HaMalach (The Angel Raziel), by the first Kabbalist, Adam. Other Kabbalist’s in subsequent generations adapted it to the changing times, and eventually the descendants of the ancient group of Kabbalist’s formed by Abraham, dispersed bits of this wisdom throughout the whole world. As a result, Kabbalah was developed in the midst of mankind, albeit in concealment, incorporating the atmosphere of its surroundings in order to become “suitable for all of humanity.”  

Interestingly, the gradual development of Kabbalah throughout history indirectly spurred the development of all humanity in other realms, such as the technological, social and scientific progress. How so? Without our awareness, Kabbalistic knowledge spread throughout the world, permeating all of mankind, and increased our latent desire to connect to the source of our existence, the Creator. This innermost desire we have pushes us forward in everything we do. So for instance, the love songs we write, the works of art we create, and even our scientific research, are all ways for us to express our latent desire toward the Creator.

But the actual wisdom of Kabbalah is intended only for spiritual development, and this is what is now starting to happen for the first time in history. Kabbalist’s have finally come out of hiding and are openly teaching this wisdom to all. This marks the final point of Kabbalah development, and the beginning point of its practical application. Using Kabbalah, any person, regardless of age, gender, religion, or nationality can reveal the spiritual world – a world of perfection, eternity, infinity, and boundless joy.
