I know it's not polytheism,but I can't see the need to create a mystification of G-d's words and then a hole new philosophy as a tool for an explanations or demystification.

For example,what should be demystified in Moses' Books?That's written for uneducated Jewish shepherds so they can understand simple words and simple messages from G-d.

The Torah has many layers of meaning. Infinite layers, actually. That is why it can be appreciated by everyone from the most simple novice to the expert kabbalist. There is no NEED to mystify the Torah. By its very definition, the deeper level of the Torah are more difficult to grasp. A very deep concept usually cannot explained directly. It needs to be explained by way of analogy e.g. using two oranges (a simple analogy) to demonstrate a deeper concept (e.g. addition or subtraction). Kabbalah is similarly written with analogies because the concepts are quite a bit too deep to explain directly.
