At the same time we are continuously in Paradise, whether we realize it or not. This is also, by the way, the Kabbalistic interpretation developed by Abulafia, who was the first to treat the Pardes as an ongoing experience. His interpretation was very similar to Kafka's. Anyone who enters Pardes has to enter in peace and exit in peace. This spiritualistic reading, that the Pardes is not a matter of history but is open to anyone, proposes a spiritualistic typology, a scheme of typical experiences or states that can be actualized at any time.
History becomes unimportant.
By studying Bible, Talmud, Kabbalah, philosophy, we become aware of what can happen in experience. This approach still assumes that there is danger, but Judaism is here seen as trying to cope with the problem of the dangerous ideal. The ideal may be dangerous, but it is to be cultivated. This formulation becomes a way of balancing ritualistic approaches against the explosion of metaphysical speculations that might endanger the observance of the ritual. The aim is not merely to propose philosophy but to use Aristotelian psychology and metaphysics to point to meditations on secret Judaism, to introduce a new paradigm for understanding Judaism.
