After Adam & Eve fell from grace in the Garden of Eden, an Angel taught the wisdom to Adam so that grace & purity might be regained.

This knowledge Adam passed onto his sons, but was either forgotten or lost.

After the deluge, God not only gave the Rainbow as a sign of his covenant with humanity, but also instructed Noah & his sons in the secret knowledge. But, as before, it was either forgotten or lost.

The Angels instructed Abraham in the wisdom. He in turn instructed Isaac & from there it went to Jacob. But during the captivity of Egypt, it was again lost.

The knowledge was this time recovered by Moses.

The mystical interpretation is; that the first time Moses went up to the top of Mount Sinai, he recieved the secrets of the Kabalah from God, but destroyed them upon seeing idol worship.

He returned to the top of the mountain, but God would not allow Moses to share the secrets of the Kabalah with the common people.

Instead, like little children, they were told what they could & couldn't do in the form of The Ten Commandments, & the other Laws of the Torah.

Moses who already recieved the Kabalah, was told that he could only give the secrets to his brother Aaron & the future High Priests of the Hebrews.

The Kabalah is not a single book or simple mystical idea.

Rather, it is a whole system of mystical thought & action.
