History of Kabbalah: Kabbalah Books
What does it mean to write books in Kabbalah? Man lives in this world and he receives different pictures and fillings from it. Let us assume that every one of us can describe what he or she feels. In this case, no one would be interested in those descriptions because we sensed this world more less alike.
Kabbalistic books are different, in that they describe sensations of a person who lives in our world but simultaneously feels the higher world undetected by others. Thus, a Kabbalist is a person who is reached or has been granted a feeling of a higher world. Besides this, he is a person who can describe his feelings in a way that we understand them correctly and by studying his books we are able to developed the required organs of sensation that enable us to feel the higher world on our own to the point that we would be able to see our past and future states because there is no time in spiritual world. Thus, we would be able to go beyond time in our feelings of a higher world while existing in both worlds.
Kabbalistic books posses such a strong power, contains such a methodology and descriptive technique that if a person is studying under the proper guidance, following the proper methodology, he ultimately reaches the level of the author. That is why it is important to know which books to study. There have been various authors in the history of mankind and there are books out there that are applying different methodologies. So we have to choose wisely because historical experience tells us which books better help us in our spiritual development, help us to reach the spiritual world and navigate there. It is like a tourist who comes to a foreign country looking for information about it.
A long time has passed since Adam, the first man, his descendants multiplied and spread across the earth, there were many Kabbalists among them but they have not left us any books. We do have separate scrolls, parts of texts that are impossible to classify.
