Oy! For with the mistaken book of the Zohar and the Tikkunim, we have become akin to idolatrous peoples (Indians, Egyptians, Chaldeans, Persia and Medea and other religions that are built upon hidden studies and strange secrets, the foundation of which is from the imaginative faculty, as can be seen by one who looks into the book, Divrei Olam by the sage, Kalman Solomon). As they have not 'come out from the upheaval,' such that they have an argument with the straight and revealed knowledge received from the mouth of Scribes and books, the books of our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed, that teach knowledge to man and understanding of our holy Torah.
Lest we stray and err from [these] ideas that come to an empty heart, to transgress the statement of God, may He be blessed, "and you shall stray after your hearts" - that is heresy. And through the Zohar, the statement of our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed, in Sanhedrin 39b and in the Yalkut Shimoni on Kings 226 is fulfilled: Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi raises a contradiction: It is written (Ezekiel 11:12), "You have done according to the statutes of the nations that are round about you," but it is also written (Ezekiel 5:7), "nor have you done according to the statutes of the nations that are round about you."
And he answered, "You did not act like the proper ones among them (who believe in the oneness of the Creator), but you did act like the flawed ones among them," mentioned above. That is what happened to us concerning the belief in [God's] oneness and worship - we did not act like the proper ones among them, but we did act like the flawed ones among them, to worship the small face (Zeir Anpin) and unify it with the Goddess, its mate.
