A Guide to Hidden Wisdom of Kabbalah

An important goal in the study of Kabbalah is to use one’s knowledge to influence one’s destiny. Firstly, one has to realize what life is, what its meaning is, why it is given to us, where it begins, and where it ends.

After pondering and meditating on the above questions, one has to relate all this to Kabbalah. Kabbalah states that the Creator created all the worlds simultaneously, including our world, and we human beings have to use Kabbalah in our world, the finite material world.

In order to further advance our understanding of the wisdom of Kabbalah, we need to lift our mind’s eye above the horizon of our material world.

Kabbalah clarifies our perception of reality. What we see around us is subjective and exists only in relation to ourselves. Our perception depends on our organs of sensation: if they were different, we would perceive another world around us.

A Guide to the Hidden Wisdom of Kabbalah provides the reader with a solid foundation for understanding the role of Kabbalah in our world. The contents was designed to allow individuals all over the world to begin traversing the initial stages of spiritual ascent toward the apprehension of the upper realms.

A Wish Can Change Your Life : How to Use the Ancient Wisdom of K

From Publishers Weekly
Part Jewish mysticism, part pagan Earth reverence and part multicultural exploration, this book opens the secret doors of the arcane Jewish tradition of the Kabbalah, whose symbol is a tree. The authors use the Kabbalah's 10-limbed legacy to explore metaphorical and literal trees to prescribe a means of wish fulfillment. Through accessible explication, exercises, meditations and Web site information, Sasson and Weinstein guide readers through the process of refining and realizing their wishes. Devoting a chapter each to the Kabbalist branches of crown, wisdom, understanding, mercy, severity, beauty, eternity, splendor, foundation and kingdom, the book is a friendly approach to a complex topic, offering a plan of study on one "branch" per week. Drawing on many cross-cultural evidences of the power and venerated history of trees over millennia, the authors satisfy the naturally curious who want to understand the value of trees in daily life. The volume is somewhat flawed in making sweeping connections that may not easily sit with more serious comparative religionists, such as equating Hindu prana with Christianity's Holy Spirit. While not devoid of wisdom, many of the notions are somewhat tired New Age concerns searching for substance. Readers who want to survey the myriad of Earth's spiritual medicines may appreciate the breadth of this text, and eco-spirituality fans will enjoy it all the more for its advocacy for one of the planet's most precious resources: trees.

An Introduction to the Kabbalah

There has been a veritable flood of books on Jewish mysticism in recent years. Many New Age practitioners are attracted to Jewish mysticism, with its emphasis on spirituality, meditation, nature, and even ecology. Hallamish (Jewish mysticism, Bar-Ilan Univ., Israel) has tapped into this trend and produced a readable overview of the main teachings of the Kabbalah, a shorthand expression for Jewish mystical experience. Hallamish discusses techniques for exploring mysticism, mystical doctrines, and the evolution of mystical thought. Scholars will especially appreciate this solid study, though informed lay readers will enjoy it, too.

This book acquaints the reader with the world of the Kabbalah. The first part discusses the Kabbalist as a person: the personal transmission of Kabbalistic traditions, the Kabbalist's qualities and qualifications, prerequisites and early preparations, risks and achievements, as well as techniques for uncovering mysteries and the sources of revelations. The second part deals with the major themes in the teachings of the Kabbalah, such as the doctrine of the Sefirot, the Sitra-Ahra--good and evil, the creation of the world, the status of the Torah and its commandments, the doctrine of the soul and the transmigration of souls. In treating these issues, the book also notes the assimilation of Kabbalistic notions in Jewish religious customs.

Awakening to Kabbalah

Rav Michael Laitman, PhD, sees Kabbalah as a science that deals with drawing near to the Creator. It studies the system of creation, examines how the Creator conducts this system, and how creation can rise to the level of the Creator. It is a method of reaching spiritual fulfillment. Through the study of Kabbalah, you too can learn to direct your heart-and consequently your life-toward success, tranquility, peace, and happiness.
In this distinctive, personal, and awe-filled introduction to an ancient wisdom tradition, Rav Laitman-a disciple of the great Kabbalist Baruch Ashlag (son of Yehuda Ashlag) - provides you with a deeper understanding of the fundamental teachings of Kabbalah, and how you can use this wisdom to clarify your relationship with others and the world around you. Using language both scientific and poetic, he probes the most profound questions of spirituality and existence, including:

What is the meaning of my life?
Why is there suffering in the world?
Is reincarnation part of spiritual life?
How can I attain the best state of existence possible?

This provocative, unique guide will inspire and invigorate you to see beyond the world as it is and the limitations of your everyday life, become closer to the Creator, and reach new depths of the soul.

Eyes Remade for Wonder: A Lawrence Kushner Reader

"When you see something that is broken, fix it. When you find something that is lost, return it. When you see something that needs to be done, do it. In that way, you will take care of your world and repair creation. If all the people in the world were to do so, our world would truly be a Garden of Eden, the way God meant it to be."

Lawrence Kushner has been dispensing the deep wisdom of sacred texts and Jewish spirituality for 25 years. As the author of nine volumes and the rabbi of Congregation Beth El in Sudbury, Massachusetts, he is a master of mystical theology, storytelling, and discovering the sacred in everyday life. Following an introduction and tribute by Thomas Moore, this paperback contains selections from Kushner's books, articles, and previously unpublished material.

Here the reader will find thought-provoking and soul stirring pieces on blessing as awakening, entrances to holiness, reverence, reciting psalms, ordinary people as messengers of the Most High, and the coming of the Messiah. Here's another sample: "At the end of Job, God says, in effect, I'm the whole kazoo. Not just sunshine and bluebirds, but even in the lions tearing gazelles, vultures eating carrion. Everything. Everywhere. God. God. God."
