Although I respect your “G-d given” right to an opinion, I have to say, yours is the scariest post I’ve seen here in a long time. Unless I am misunderstanding,you are suggesting that Tannaim and Amoraim all the way down through the ages until today fabricated (read: lied) an entire body of literature called kabballah that is beyond the ability of the “average schlep” to understand. Then they enacted various decrees against it being taught to the “average schlep” (ie., only to one student at a time, he has to be wise, only the main topics, only after having satiated himself on shas and poskim etc).
All of this would serve to keep that same “average schlep” frum. Did I misunderstand you somehow?
