The Kabbalah Experience: 6.02: The Practical Guide to Kabbalistic Wisdom (PAPERBACK)

This is one of my very favourite practical workbooks on the subject of the Kabbalah. It guides the reader through the concepts surounding the Kabbalah, using parallels, inferences and symbolism from other mystical traditions, and uses these to build a strong understanding of the ideas involved. The book guides the reader on a journey through the paths and sephira of the tree of life, using guided meditations and exercises to aid the experience. This to me is the strongest aspect of the narrative, as the Kabbalah is something that has its value in experience of use, rather than dry intellectual appreciation. The book explores the Kabbalah from a hermetic (or western esoteric) perspective rather than a Judaic one, and has much to offer both to new students and to those more familar with the concepts involved, offering them a new perspective.

A well written book on a difficult subject to understand. I was attracted to the cover. I call the diagram "The Zot From Keeter" after the anteater's "ZOT!" in the BC comic strip.I am still reading this one. Even this book, as well written as it is, takes time for me to assimilate and digest.

This is a great book on Kabbalah. Just reading it is a form of meditation, and it can also be used as a basis for many specific meditations described in the text. It can be read repeatedly with pleasure and benefit.

When you are ready for the wisdom in this book, it will become a valued part of your life at a very deep and core level. Its a book that you'll get the most from if you read it with your whole heart engaged.

I only wish I had purchased this used at $3 price range. It's filled with babble, not clearly explained with a metric ton of filler text. Avoid at all costs.

This book pretty much brings it all together---a difficult subject made a lot easier by Naomi Ozaniec.
