Even the book of Zohar is undoubtedly a crown among the Kabbalistic works in the world, as also testified by the holy Ari, may his memory be a blessing, who was a man of divine sanctity and the holy spirit rested upon him. All his wisdom was built upon it, the sublime and awe-inspiring wisdom. Heaven forbid to doubt his words.
However, in the printed edition of this book, there are elements of barley and straw mixed in it, and hidden homiletical statements that appear troubling and disturbing to anyone who is not engaged in the composition. Similarly, several statements are included within the book of Zohar itself, and they are in corrupted Aramaic language, as in the portion of Vayechi, which even the publisher criticized, sensing a distortion of the author's language, attempting to imitate the Zohar like an ape in human form, and his language is extremely distorted, resembling the chirping of a mockingbird. But besides these, even in the core parts of the book, its language is clean and pure. I have strong evidence that in recent times it fell under the control of others, even if it may not have reached the highest level, as I will explain with the help of God.
