I am sure that originally denying people the right to study Kabbalah until a
certain point in their lives came from that wisdom. In the same way that the
Essence of religion is pure. What is not pure is the corruption of religion
by man through the ages. The original thought manipulated and lost along the
way.

With regard to the wisdom of denying people the right to knowledge because
they aren't ready for that knowledge. Well........

There are always exceptions to the rule and then the rule fails to support
us. Each soul evolves at it's own unique and individual rate. Some people
aren't ready in this lifetime let alone the third quarter of this life.
Others are ready at a tender age.

Last year I had a stand at a 4 day outdoor healing arts festival. The family
camping next to ours had the most amazing child. He was 8 years old and like
a little Buddah. He spoke 7 languages fluently, had an intensity and calm in
his stare that was truly mesmorising and wisdom that would have been
impressive in a 50 year young person. Should this child wait until his third
quarter to meditate and contemplate?

We fail to encourage spiritual growth. We instill limitations in our
children. We numb their natural spiritual gifts so they have to re learn and
rediscover their Essence when they are old enough and brave enough to
overcome the doubters and the cynics.

We are moving along nicely IMO. Everything perfect. Even my criticism of the
above :))
