Memory and comprehension in Kabbalistic knowledge

The writing style of Kabbalistic texts makes their reading hard and difficult. The need to hide knowledge makes these texts full of hermetic vocabulary. Zohar moves between topics without logical order as evidence of knowledge as an amorphous set of concepts understood only after a big effort during many years. The reading of the texts develops a particular point of view about mysticism and the global comprehension of life and the connection between topics exercises the reader’s analytic skills as a help in the connection between mind and soul.
Our contemporary texts are very schematic because an easy style facilitates the effort of the reader to understand the ideas behind the words. We must remember that the schematic presentation of ideas is only a pedagogic or rhetoric resource for the transmission of concepts and not a deep structure that has some hidden message. Kabbalah makes evident this unjustified order in knowledge presenting its topics in a chaotic and unstructured text, as the modern proposals of contemporary philosophy. The central idea behind this disorder is the free development of the soul that must be discovered by every learner and not imposed by a teacher or a system.
Unfortunately, the artificial order of knowledge originates on our capacity to remember concepts because our brain easily understands ordered words. Comprehension of the concepts creates an artificial need for masters speaking about these topics. We must avoid the need for masters instead of the study from the sources and following the voice of the soul. The Kabbalist students must continue their studies to not forget and analyze the knowledge given to them.
Kabbalistic secrets were hidden to the public during centuries and this situation changes from the year 2000. From this year, many masters clarify the fundamental opinions about the Bible, the Apocrypha, and the Kabbalistic texts with the creation of student centers worldwide. Nowadays, the public study of this knowledge could be accepted by many people and rearranges the life of many people. I don´t know if there is a unique truth, but this ancient point of view helps to analyze and progress in this chaotic world.
