Can I make a suggestion LB, which I think you will feel comfortable with based on your last few posts- start and stick with, and master the nigle (revealed part) of Torah- basic halacha, hashakfa and Torah pshat, before you venture into the nistar (hidden/kabala) parts. The latter cannot be understood at face-value to the unintiated, and it is quite hard to distinguish between what is real and legitimate and those things that are not really Jewish in nature, and may actually be avodah zora. There is a reason that chazal prohibit learning kabbala until age 40 and only to those who know all of nigle. While things such as gilgulim are part of Torah, the vast majority of us can live perfectly halachic, Torahdik and rational lives without delving into them.
