Amazingly Scientificly Presented

This is an amazing book that scientifically reveals what has been hidden for thousands of years. The information in this book was presented by Kabbalist Michael Laitman who through years of a teaching lineage learned from Rabash, son of Baal HaSulam, the Ari and the list goes on. Complete with graphs, charts, and a unique narrative by Dr. Laitman, this book goes in to intricate detail of what Kabbalah is all about and most importantly, how to begin and stay on a path towards spiritual fulfillment. You only need to have asked yourself, one question: "What is the meaning of my life?" All you need is the desire and the book will help kick start you on a true Kabalistic path.

Speechless

This book maps out reality beyond the 5 senses. those who truly read it with the intention of uncovering its wisdom will sense what really kabbalah is all about. not for those who seek kabbalah for a better job, or happiness, or a better corporeality but for those seeking reality and connectivity to one's maker. This book helps understand how to study the zohar and ancient texts with the help of the language described as well as gematria and so on... "you will see for yourself"

An Invaluable Resource

What has impressed me in the course of relating with this book is the unique sense of immediacy and relevance that the reading feels imbued with. Though the subject matter can appear abstruse and beyond reach, at just the right times, in just the right places, and in just the right way, Rav Laitman offers assistance. Rav Laitman's commentary helps clarify the ideas in the text, and perhaps more importantly the commentary helps clarify the correct approach to the text. Invaluable.

Probably not for the beginner, but a great and much-encompassing book.

This book is kinda heavy on terminology and is not an easy read by far. However, it is a great tool for the serious student. Spiritual phenomena are described in a very scientific and practical manner, rather than merely allotting them very abstract and blurry (or even worse: false or misleading) explanations as do some other books on Kabbalah today. It's a great introduction to the Holiest of books. Besides, Kabbalah is not attained through knowledge but rather through desire, so understanding everything is not key.

The Only TRUE source of Kabbalah

This second in the series of books on Kabbalah brings the Zohar to an understanding for all. The original "Zohar" is actually a series of ancient texts which complile into a 23 volume encyclopedia set. This new book by Kabbalist RAV Michael Laitman, a personal student of the great Kabbalist Rabbi Baruch Ashlag, is presented in an easy, excellent simplified form. He teaches the new student not only how to understand the Zohar, but how to interpret it. Since the ancient secrets of Kabbalah has come about, you'll find many books stating they can explain it all in their book alone, as well as claiming to have the upmost knowledge, when in actuality, this is impossible. The Zohar and other books of Kabbalah cannot fit into one text, or even two alone. For those seeking the only true source of the knowledge of Kabbalah, I highly encourage you to pick this, and read the first in this series by RAV Laitman entitled "The Science Of Kabbalah". You will quickly discover your new path to true spirituality. These two are the actual course books to the live free online classes taught by RAV Laitman himself, and the students of "Bnei Baruch", in Israel. At [...] For those who have difficulty understanding these books, it is most encouraged that you visit the website, and watch the classes. We guarantee you will never turn back.
