The Zohar Definitely Was Written By Rashbi

"If you want examples of incorrect messianic predictions by Kabbalists, tell me. I have a list a mile long"
Please list them here or send them to me.

What Kabbalah I have learned, and that which comes from the Zohar many times, does not contradict the teaching of the Torah, and often it is supported in Mishnah and Talmud. I am not an expert, nor have I studied Zohar, but it is referred to in a lot of Chassidic teachings.
You are entitled to discount the entire corpus of Kabbalah if you like, as it is not essential to live a righteous life. But there is truth in what little Kabbalah I have learned, and I am not quick to discount it.

Not everything is wrong or even bad. Its just that the proper teacher can and should bring out the proper and good teachings. I myself learn from all different types of schools of though, some Hassidus as well (Breslov, Chabad (R' Ginsburg) the problems arise when you take everything in and don't question some possible problems with things. Also some people using certain things like "Kabbalah" for their personal use. - Just check today's "Mekubalim" tricking gullible people in following them (Paying $ as well).
I was at your position as well for some time so I understand. Their are (and will be) transition periods with your thoughts and beliefs. Just be careful not to (accidentally) reject the Torah and Halacha because of association to these ideas. (You can disagree and that is fine, but I only predict).
