I thought Lurianic Qabbalah are thoughts the Ari learned from Eliyahu
hanavi in a small house near the Nile. Eliyahu never dies, and even after
translation is still considered alive enough to qualify for reviving
semichah, and for teaching halakhah -- lo baShamayim hi. Lo kol shekein
for teaching aggadita.

I have bigger problems with the Torah the Ramchal ascribes to maggidim.

The mechabeir less so. I'm convinced he sets out to pasqen following
the majority of his triumverate in part to exclude the maggid's Torah
from his results.

The question I have is more about the possibility of receipt of new
information after the end of nevu'ah, not the quality or Torah-ness of
that information. The entire concept of speaking to maggidim. Even what we
call Ruach haqodesh since the nevi'im is more bas qol. (Tosafta Sotah
13:2, Sanhedrin 11a) So how do we have these speaking to mal'akhim,
the embodiments of ideas or sefarim, and so on?

:-)BBii!
