Kabbalah: Key To Your Inner Power

If you want to understand the Kabbalah read this book. The Kabbalah was never meant to be a mysterious secretive book. Whether you are of the Jewish faith or not this book is for everyone. Everyone should know their tree of life and their connection to God.

Fully quoted and simple, systematic view

From all the volumes written on the subject, complex texts and convoluted explanations out there, this book comes along as a very straight forward, systematic way to start to understand the Kabbalah. The most important features of this book are the extensive quotations from other sources and the simple explanation of the Tree Of Life with all the interconnections. It does give a unique perspective on the subject, but one that every student of this System should be aware of. As a first start, this book is excellent. For me, it brought into perspective the positon of the "Goddess" in our Era, and how compatible all traditions are, from the Big Bang to the Goddess movement. Because the purpose of the mystic is to reunite Shekkinah with Messiah inside of themselves, each one of us. The student should then follow with Ponce's book (Quest) and then go from there to more advanced texts. Be warned of the Chakra section on the back, it may not be fully in concordance with this system.

This is where to begin and where to end studying the Kabbala

I almost gave up studying the Kabbalah in depth given the difficulty and general "user-unfriendliness" of most deeper books. Have you ever tried starting with the 3-volume "Wisdom of the Zohar"?? This book is astonishing in that while there is always more scope for study of this subject of course, Prophet's work is not only by far the best introduction to Kabbalism, but gave me the best idea of the subject's history and origins, the purpose and use of this esoteric system, and even topics barely mentioned elsewhere. For example, what did the original Kabbalistic mystics actually DO? How does the Kabbalah connect with the subject of twin souls? And how to use "the science of the spoken word" in conjunction with the Kabbalah? Finally, with this great guide, exhaustively researched, I feel able to read other works with true understanding and application.

Very simple to read and understand.

I think this book is very clearly written and easy for the average person to comprehend. I like the style in which it was written.
