Qabbalah and alike are just maps - of dimensions. It's like looking at the globe and trying to figure what it is like. But it is not an experience. You also won't have a taste of that location. Magic, on the other hand, is like air in a particular place.

Globe is not a real place, however - it's a concept of the place in your mind, just like qabbalah's spheres/sephirot. You won't feel air by just placing your finger at a map at the chosen location: hot air there, cold air there etc.

Magic has its basis in the energies ("air types") which can be represented by four elements, and origin in the mind which rules the elements. This is of course very simplified explanation.
