"When
the kabbalist comes to assess the Torah's fundamental nature, its
hidden mystery, he does not see it as a collection of commandments,
statutes, and ordinances, of ethical pronouncements and accounts of
historical events, all proceeding from the mouth of God. It is for him a
massive treasury of divine forces and divine lights that have donned
the form of letters and words and so revealed themselves in the book of
the Torah."
-- Isaiah Tishby, Wisdom of the Zohar p. 283
