The deep allegories of the Torah, Aggadah, and Midrash are not to be taken lightly, and on the very deepest of levels, require a lifetime of learning and spiritual refinement to master, but they are not "secrets" and there is no shortcut to acquiring them. Judaism is a path of revelation, not concealment, and anyone who proposed their is a secret Judaism, or secrets that belong to a mystic cabal as opposed to the honest man who learns Torah for its own sake with a love of heaven, are trying to replace our honest tradition with a mystery cult. Anyone who offers you secrets, or shortcuts to closeness with God, is a charlatan, a heretic, and a fool.
