Woe unto you, you knowers of the Law [Torah]! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge [γνῶσις, gnosis] : ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Luke 11:52

You Must Look Deeper
All matters in the Torah are of a superior nature and are uppermost secrets.
Woe to those wicked who say that the Torah is merely a story and nothing more, for they look at the dress and no further.
– Zohar, Bamidbar 152a
It’s not for Everyone
The mysteries of the faith are not to be divulged to all. But since this tradition is not published alone for him who perceives the magnificence of the word; it is requisite, therefore, to hide in a mystery the wisdom spoken, which the Son of God taught.
St. Clement of Alexandria, The Stromata, ch. 12 (circa 200 AD)
To Thine Own Self Be True
Our own experience should be our education and not that gained from others.
