I have been watching a beginners series on the Kabbalah (I believe the exact form is traditional, practical Kabbalah). The rabbi that is teaching the lessons explains the Klipah as shells (same as our modern Qabalah). That is where the similarity seems to end.
He goes on to explain that these shells surround you like a false aura, or an egg shell, and stop divine light from reaching us. I have never heard of any such thing in our modern Qabalah. Is there something I am missing, some hidden correlation?
