That's not true. The Arizal and R' Nachman of Bretzlav were two of the greatest teachers of Kaballah of all time, and they passed away at 38 and 37. In these times Jews can learn Kabbalah.

Can, but the point is that its not for them to go too much into it. (Meaning that its not their purpose, and mission in life). About Kabbalah yes and no. Their are some aspects which is good for everyone (some would say even non-Jews- which is some Mussar, the meaning of life, the greatness of G-d, etc. , but the deep Kabbalah "entering the Pardes"- only should be done be those on a high level- married, over 40, know a lot of Torah, and in control of their physical desires/emotions, etc. (+ its a long cycle where one has to wait to start from the beginning- at least in the biggest Kabbalah Yeshiva today- run by Rav Yaakov Hillel Shlita, which is a 16 year cycle.
