Before learning of KabU, I just recently starting reading an English commentary on The Zohar, by Rav Michael Laitman, PhD. I’ve read books from the Nag Hammadi library, e.g.: The Book of Thomas and The Apocryphon of John. In the process of reading the commentary on The Zohar, parables from those texts and also from what I’ve read in the Bible started to make sense – like a chain reaction of understanding. I then got to the point in the commentary that says one can only learned directly from a Kabbalist-teacher, so I started to look for a source. Unbelievably, KabU was already in recommended videos on YouTube – I didn’t even have to look. It’s hard to sleep now because this experience is so otherworldly, and it somehow is occupying my mind – basically continuously. But, my questions are: (1) Are the books in the Nag Hammadi library (from the Essenes), at least in part, influenced by the Wisdom of Kabbalah? Or, to put it another way, (2) Were the Essenes Kabbalists? Thank you!
