Amazing

Rabbi Berg takes the amazing teachings of kabbalah out of the shackles of religiousity and opens the doors for everyone to benefit from it's transforming power. Now, since I've got the long, cliche sentence out of the way... I read this book after reading several other texts on the topic and though I wouldn't necessarily call it an "introduction" for anyone without any metaphysical background, it is definitely a great beginner book for someone who has some metaphysical foundation. Many of the books I read made things far too esoteric and did not in any way address practical application of the knowledge, Rabbi Berg excels at making the reader not only understand the information, but also internalize the knowledge and apply it. It's no longer book knowledge, but it is a passion for me... Kabbalah has changed my life and in large part to the teachings found in this book. For those who say that Rav Berg has no credentials or that the material is ungrounded in any reality.... Rav Berg has not written anything in this book that is his own material. His writings mirror those of his teacher's teacher, Rav Yehuda Ashlag. Once you've explored kabbalah and want to get serious, I suggest you read this book by Rav Berg and IN THE SHADOW OF THE LADDER by Rav Yehuda Ashlag.

Good for Beginners to Understand Kabbalah

This was the first book I read when I began my deep spiritual study of Kabbalah. I found it to be a wonderful introduction to the ancient teachings that were once reserved solely for Rabbi's and `Holy One's'. We are ALL `Holy' and deserve to learn and understand the wisdom that is now available for everyone. I found it most helpful to study at the Kabbalah Center in Los Angeles, where the teachings go into much more depth, and where more insight can be gained. If I learned anything that had lasting value, it was that `All comes from the Light'. This was a great lesson to understand `how' and `why' certain events happen in our lives when we may feel shattered on every level. Just a word of caution: If you feel that it is becoming `too much' then back off, and study another path for a while. The study of Kabbalah is DEEP, and for some, it is too deep. I too had to back off, but I found myself returning to the many books written on this subject once I integrated the wisdom with genuine understanding. All in all, this is the ONE book that sets the stage for this deep spiritual study. Highly recommended from my heart, Barbara Rose, author of "Stop Being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE" and 'If God Was Like Man' Editor of inspire! magazine
