I want to start studying, but I\u2019m told it\u2019s dangerous. What exactly is the danger in studying Kabbalah?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>A great many people tried to deter me from Kabbalah: they were religious, secular, Jews and non-Jews alike, and strangers and relatives. I tried to fight the craving to know the purpose of my life, and I couldn\u2019t picture a day when I could get up in the morning without asking the same haunting question over and over again. I couldn\u2019t imagine a peaceful, thoughtless day, where I could sit down quietly and enjoy my life\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s no cure for it, it\u2019s like a curse. But the cure exists. If you feel that question burning in your gut, leaving you restless, you might be losing precious time listening to the advice of others and living by their reason, because ultimately you\u2019ll go back to what your soul craves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA person learns from his soul,\u201d so listen to yourself and you\u2019ll know what it is you want. If you can rise above the level of those who advise against study, there is nothing that can stop you. Sooner or later you\u2019ll come to Kabbalah. I suggest that you read Introduction to The Book of Zohar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: I\u2019ve begun to take an interest in Kabbalah.
