Jesus was probably raised in the tradition of Mosaic law, but when he got older he started having religious ideas that the Pharisees judged to be heretical and political ambitions that the Sanhedrin considered threatening.
I doubt that Jesus was teaching Kaballah, though. The Cabalistic movement began among the Jews in France, about the year 1100. That's about when the "blood ritual" accusations against the Jews began to rise again.
The two basic texts upon which the Jewish magical system rest are
1. Zohar
2. Sefera Yezira
Both of those books are probably Medieval in authorship. The attribution of Zohar to the second century Jewish mystic Simon ben Yohai is probably a lie. The author was more likely Moses de Leon, a 13th century Jewish writer.
Sefera Yazira, which also made its first appearance around AD 1200, has been falsely attributed to the Patriarch Abraham himself, somehow surviving 3100 years of being misplaced in some Jewish elder's suitcase.
Such lies they expect us to believe! But anyway, these are the books most important to Cabalism.
The ancient Jews did have some sort of blood ritual magic, perhaps similar to Kaballah. In ancient times, the Hebrews sacrificed babies in the Valley of Tophet by cooking them alive in the arms of brass statues that were heated by fires built inside them. The babies' screams (and the wails of the mothers) were drowned out by the beating of loud drums.
Also, the Jewish leader Jephthah made some sort of bargain with God in which he had to kill his daughter as a blood sacrifice in exchange for God's protection in some battle or other.
But it would be asking too much of coincidence to assume that the old Jewish blood ritual magic is identical with the newer Cabalistic version that arose among Jews in 13th century Europe.
I have heard it said that Jesus and his disciples might have engaged in some sort of secretive ritual unknown to the greater number of people. I suppose that blood rituals are candidate for speculation of that kind, but I don't think them the most likely possibility.
A better one has to do with naturally occurring hallucinogenic drugs, such as that present in a certain kind of mushroom. The drug might have helped Jesus and his inner circle "see God," or give them the feeling that they had seen God. But again, as far as I know, this is only speculation.
It is an interesting notion, though, that Judas Iscariot was a "tame stooge," i.e., a spy for Jesus enemies that Jesus chose and trained himself, so that he could decide how much the Jewish leaders would know and how much of that was accurate.
Very useful trick, that. It might be why Jesus and his band of merry men were able to stay on the loose for so long.

I believe that is entirely possible. I believe that most of Jesus' teachings were mystical and secret. I believe that many of his teachings were taught only to the disciples and not to the general population and are still unknown to the general population. I believe that the bible has been manipulated and does not reflect all of his true teachings and that they have been misinterpreted. I do not believe that today's Christians are privy to many of the true teachings of Jesus Christ and have been mislead in their beliefs.

Jesus is complete in and of Himself. He was teaching and encouraging people to develop a relationship with their Creator who is Yaweh, or "I Am." He is still in that business. His word also tells us that if others try to teach another way, let him be accursed or "anathama" which means "let him go to hell". I did not say this, His word did and does. Other manuscripts leave me cold. Sorry.

Jesus was a myth, like every other god ever written about.

i grew up in a fundamentalist christian household. i went to private school (where i learned about god every day all day long) until high school. i always knew there was something wrong with me as i was a very sad child and didn't react to things like other people. this culminated in two attempts to commit suicide before age 18. after the second attempt i was diagnosed with chronic depression and now take antidepressants. unfortunately, like what most everyone here has said, i was always told that god can solve all your problems. that "mental illness" doesn't exist because its just the devil turning you away from god, that if you love god enough and pray hard enough and are a good enough christian then god will help you. never once did the christian god help me during the many many years i suffered through depression. my father (who is extremely fundamental christian) always made sure i knew that it was my fault because i was letting the devil in if i was feeling this way, and if i have depression (which he felt was "all in my head") then i clearly was not trying/praying/loving god hard enough anyways, this obviously made me extremely confused about why i was not getting help when i wanted so so badly to love god and receive his gifts of healing and happiness. eventually, after years and years of falling on my knees crying out to god to take even the smallest amount of pain away (i truly did believe at that time that my faith in god would save me, and i was a very devout young christian girl who loved god with all my heart and even wanted to be a missionary to spread christianity one day)...anyway after so many years of trying so hard and never getting one ounce of relief from the crippling depression i suffered from, it finally dawned on me that the reason i wasn't getting better must have been because god didn't love me enough and didn't care about me enough to help me, since clearly i loved and cared about him to the point that it was my entire life. so if that was the case then i decided i might as well just take my life since there would never be help for me and the unbearable pain of a mental disorder would never be helped or even alleviated one tiny bit (seeing a medical professional and going on medication was not even slightly an option because my dad believed that it was evil and the work of the devil, and doing so would be proof that i was not really a good christian). finally, my amazing mom forced me to tell her everything including the suicide attempts. she had to abandon everything she grew up thinking and believing to save her daughter's life, going against my father and the teachings of our church to put me on medication. so no, jesus christ never helped me with my mental health problems. my mom, my psychiatrist, and the "evil" antidepressants saved my life and continue to save my life every day.
