Once this door is opened light will begin to shine on the greater metaphor of Law. I have pointed out that there are two Israels living cheek and jowl almost sidebands on the same carrier wave yet one denying the other. The conundrum of Moses mirrors this condition and the status of the Law groans under the weight history. Here absolute, there diluted in a swirl of scholastic fascinations and bureaucratic expectations.
You raise an excellent point. This is something I am really trying to grapple with. Almost like Jacob, when wrestled with an angel. St Paul experienced the mysteries in his mystical ascent into the third heaven. He essentially becomes an angelic being through mystical ascent. There is a relation here between descent and ascent. Theoretical study will never open the door. The door is only opened through mystical ascent. This is something Bardaisan also talked about.
