Awakening to Kabbalah: The Guiding Light of Spiritual Fulfillment Kindle Edition

Awakening To The Kabbalah is as fine an introduction to Kabbalah as any. The Hebrew terminology is kept to a minimum, and the textreinforces key points, so that by the end of chapter seven, you feel confident about tackling a more complex text.Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism. It states that the Torah can be understood at a deeper level. It is about realizing that humans havedesires such as sex, money, respect, knowledge; and finally the desire for spirituality. Kabbalah states that all desires belongto this world, whereas the desire for spirituality comes from the upper world of the Creator.The soul has fallen to the depths of the corporeal world. It requires correction of it's 613 desires to rise to the state before the fall.Kabbalah is now open to everyone to study. In older times, men had to be above the age of forty to study.I personally think you should take the opportunity to learn - now that Kabbalah is open to the world.

This book starts with a nicely put together chronology of an almost six- thousand years in the history of Kabbalah before moving on to talk about the teachings of this ancient wisdom. The writer talks about his own experience of coming to Kabbalah, after a long search, to study with one of the last renown Kabbalist, Baal HaSulam’s son, Baruch Aslag (Rabash). The book is not meant for a quick read, but it reads nicely, easy to follow and understand such a deep subject. I would recommend putting aside some quiet time to savor reading it and really appreciate what it is trying to say. I found the book’s explanation of the spiritual development, the path to the evolution of human soul and mankind's coming to search for spirituality absolutely fascinating; certainly, the best explanation I have come across that one can relate to from a personal perspective and life experiences.It is definitely, a must- read for the serious searcher out there and for all those who, increasingly, catch themselves wondering about: "so, what next"!

This book is a must for anyone looking for spirituality, anyone who hasn't found meaning in the mundane pleasures of life. Nothing to do with what you normally associate the word "Kabbalah" with. If you are looking for red strings, holy water and the likes, this is not for you. The author guides you through exactly what you have been feeling and introduces you to a method unlike anything I've yet encountered. It will be interesting to see where this path leads but I have a sensation it is to a place unlike any other. Don't miss out, read this and see for yourself.

A book that easily explains our world and the entrance to spirituality. I devoured every page absorbing every detail as if being lead down a path to a treasure chest! Highly recommend this book! If you have any question about what the meaning of our life is, or how to attain anything more then basic day to day reality, this book is for you.

I own many books on Kabbalah, but this book has really contributed greatly to my progress with my spiritual perspectives. I am currently taking an online course with Rav Laitman, and this book has helped me organize my thinking related to the course materials. The complexities of Kabbalah are becoming manageable and rational. I am finding that the study of Kabbalah is leading toward a calmer perspective on life. The goals of studying Kabbalah are noble and unselfish. Well worth the investment of time!

Truthfully this is Kabbalah 101 for every one who is interested in the science of Kabbalah and not in mysticism, meditations, amulets and any other corporeal devices in order to achieve spiritual understanding. Very comprehensive approach for the serious seeker

This is an elegant book, providing simple answers to profound questions. It's also practical. One example is a brief discussion of the difference between bitter and sweet and true and false and how correct discernment of these concepts can inform our decisions and advance us spiritually.

"Awakening to Kabbalah" is an excellent introduction to the Kabbalah method of Bnei Baruch, in the lineage of the Baal Ha-Sulam through his son Baruch and the latter's intimate student, Michael Laitman who is the founder of Bnei Baruch. If you're familiar with other perspectives on Kabbalah, this book will help to see the distinctive traits of Rav Laitman's perspective; if you are completely new to Kabbalah, then it will give you the basics, step by step.
