This comforts me about my little brother (you must watch for a bit to see why) this makes me feel that all the suffering him and I went through, may have not been so pointless after all.
Shabbat shalom
You should study Kabbalah with Rav Laitman @ Kabbalah.info. Keep away from the US and UK versions, though.
Shabbat Shalom um’vorach
I'm not 40 yet tho, isn't it dangerous? I'm still so young and stupid
Why is it said that it is forbidden to study Kabbalah before the age of 40?
According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, 40 years of age signifies the degree in one’s spiritual evolution when one can attain the spiritual forces. In this degree, a person acquires the powers of bestowal, the power to give. After obtaining those forces, one begins to actively affect reality, and thus changes the world.
The number 40 does not refer to a person’s physical age, but to one’s spiritual degree. Many Kabbalists studied Kabbalah long before the age of 40. The Holy Ari and Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, for instance, both great Kabbalists, never even made it to the age of 40 and passed away at the age of 38. The Vilna Gaon (GRA) wrote Kabbalah books even before his bar- Mitzva (age 13). Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, author of the Sulam commentary on The Book of Zohar, began to study Kabbalah at a very early age as well. At 26 he was already composing Kabbalistic texts.
Kabbalists established this limitation on the study of Kabbalah before the age of 40 to prevent people from studying before they are ready for it. The Kabbalists waited until the ego would complete its evolution and humankind would understand that there is nothing left to study but this ancient wisdom. Today, there are no limitations on the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, and Kabbalists are writing that now is the 'Time to Act,' as Rabbi Ashlag puts it."

To claim I am spiritually mature is as ridiculous as calling a mouse a dragon
