Q: Do I have to study the Pentecost and the other scriptures before I begin to study Kabbalah?
A: You don’t have to study anything before you begin to study Kabbalah, because Kabbalah is “contact with the Creator.” A person who wants to study Kabbalah is like an infant emerging wet and naked from its mother’s womb. What would an infant need to know at that point? When we want to learn about the Upper World, we do not need anything that we learned in this world, because it is the Upper World we wish to enter.
In order to be interested in Kabbalah, you don’t need any preconditions other than finding the right sources of information.
