I had a problem when I tried to choose one of the branches of Kabbalah for a deeper study) It's like learning a foreign language on your own or with a teacher (who knows the subject well and can explain and correct the wrong for the right one). When working independently, it is very difficult to distinguish right from wrong. I tried to study the Western "philosophical branch" of Golden Dawn, Fortune, Butler, Ashcroft-Nowicki, Regardie, Gareth Knight, and came to a dead end. I tried to read A. Kaplan's comments and realized that without knowledge of Jewish culture and tradition, I can also quickly come to a dead end. So here I stand at a dead end), not knowing where to move on. I can list a dozen more esoteric directions on similar topics, and in them I also see for myself a dead end for further study (Now I probably feel the feeling of "playing beads", the excitement of searching and studying has passed, and the prospects for moving on are not yet visible.
A little off topic, but until recently I didn't think that there are three columns inside the Kaaba...
