Respectfully speaking.
Slater, people who say "study Qabala" have no idea what they are saying. You do not study Qabala, you study Mitzvah. You RECEIVE Qabala. You cannot even transmit it. It is for God alone to transmit. One person does {this} and one person does {this} and the person who is to receive Qabala does by the third party, which is that of God. I'll use the word God here just to make it clearer.
Men cannot receive Qabala but by "Mouth to Ear", for that is what "Qabala" means. If women may receive Qabala, it is for God to decide.
But what you are saying you receive is NOT Qabala - no matter how hard the modern student calls it.
That is most likely "Darasha," "Nakara." or perhaps "Zahara."
The root of "Darasha" means essentially "consult, command, inquire, seek" (Dasharim are medium who call spirits.)
The Root of "Nakara" means essentially "Knowledge Discerned, Respect Shown, Contemplation Made."
The root of "Zahara" (also called Yatsah) means essentially "instructed formally, taught by seniority"
There are eight essential components to ancient Jewish Magick, their names are no-where on the "Tree of Life" model and not in western books I find, and only one is Qabala. It is also one of few which requires a living teacher. Many can be taught by spirits, many of the arts.
Qabala is specifically a living to living human transmission - where the third part is that of [God]'s.
Zahara would, for example, be when Iesu or Jeshua met with Moses and Elijah. Nakarah would be when the angel told Elijah to go forth from the mountain. Nakarah would be when God made Joseph recognize the dream of pharoah, and Darasha would be when Saul sought out the prophet Samuel, who made inquiry of the Angels of the Lord for the King. It could also be Nachasha but you had no physical medium for the spirit to speak through. An example of nachasha is when the possessed man answers "I am Legion, for we are many."
This is sort of picking at meanings, but actually that is exactly what Qabala does wire your brain to pick words apart for meaning as you are directed to. It is by no means the only teaching of the Yids or Hebrews. And the Shem Ha-Mephorash is not Qabala - the story of [whom people believe to be Moses] from which is it derived is not Qabala, but it is informed by it.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YHVH do all these things.
