Introduction to this marvellous book.
'Best-selling author and professor Marc-Alain Ouaknin clearly introduces the Kabbalah, the mystical, secret, and often baffling tradition of Judaism.
Here the author exlpains the ancient mythe and symbols that have so profoundly influenced both the Jewish and non-Jewish world.
The Kabbalah has been transmitted orally from masters to disiples since the birth about four thousand years ago. It contains extraordinarily powerful metaphisical discourses, combined with specific methods to help us go beyond our normal level of consciousness and discover a new light, deep within ourselves, that will lead us beyond the commonplace of our daily lives. The Kabbalah can be understood as a balance between "the love of wisdom" and "the wisdom of love".
In presenting the Kabbalah, Ouknin covers its history; its vertical view of the universe; the four worlds we live in; our various ways of being; the significance of each letter of the Hebrew alphabet; and the meaning of certain numbers or "gematria".
he final chapter offers meditation and prayer.
Throughout, the author refers to texts in the Hebraic tradition as well other Western and non-Western classical and contemporary philosophies.
He als explores the vital influence on art, psychoanalysis, and health.
Supplementing the text are about 100 illustrations of letters, art, and sculpture.
"MYSTERIES OF THE KABBALAH" will appeal to anyone interested in Judaism, Spiritualisme, or History'.
