The term "Cabala" (Kabbalah, Qabala) can be used in a number of different
ways, and there are many trends and schools of thought concerning its nature
and use. Historically it is a somewhat hodge-podge collection of religion,
superstition, and magic that came together in the medieval period and has been
changing ever since. The Rosicrucians and the Masons like it, because it is
such a colorful omelet of esoterica. So today you can pretty much do with it
what you want to, and there is no Cabala authority to tell you you can't!
Aleister Crowley used the term "Qabala" to represent an individual's way of
codifying his comprehension of the universe. He emphasized that this was
unique to each person: "My Qabala is not your Qabala". You might find a study
of some of his writings on the subject helpful.
As for your concept of crossing the Abyss, you obviously do retain both the
capacity for fear and your individual ego ["you" being KC, not in the
abstract]. Fear is a mark of higher intelligence, and so is a positive
affirmation and expression of self ("ego"). So if you were to design an
"Abyss" like that for yourself, why would you want to cross it?
