Customer Reviews

Significant, mandatory, flawless

I will not do justice to this book by reviewing it. All I can say is, if you seek, this book will lay it down so that you may find. Be cynical as I am, be critical as I was, be hesitant as you should be. Buy this book, read it, understand it, internalize it. I did not have the luxury to learn from it. I learned elsewhere and at great cost. This book will save you decades, and impart wisdom if you are able and willing to receive it. If you know what I am talking about, buy it as a gift for those in your life who can learn, and act, and alter the future. All blessings from bill at logicalmetaphysics dot com

Journey the "Path of the Tree"

I have read this book and loved it so much that I've taken notes and returned to it over and again. Based on teachings from the Kabbalah's Tree of Life and the ten branches (Heavenly Gates) that are said to be touched by a particular power of God. Each chapter is devoted to a 'branch' of the Tree. I enjoy studying the RWS Tarot, and have found that through reading this, it has given new meaning and understanding to the images in the cards that never occurred to me before. Reading certain things here would remind me of a scene on a particular card and I would think: "That is SO what that means!" Supposedly tarot cards have a history that is connected to/from Kabbalah so it makes sense that principles from this "Tree" would correlate so perfectly with the cards. Reading this is like a tool to help you grow and explore more deeply in your spirituality and your life. So much good information on how to live.

WHO Can benefit from this book

To begin with this book is a life journey kind of book. I am Catholic and have found this book has given me such depths of spirituality that I read and reread entire parts of it and read them again with new eyes. It has a brand new lesson in each reading. Something I might have missed suddenly comes to mind. I am currently buying my eighth copy of this book. Not saying that I give it away lightly but I know I want to have one handy when I meet someone who is seeking their Godspark.

Beautiful language ; clearly her heart's experience.

The author writes about the Kaballah, a jewish mystic, as about her own experiences in very clear and beautiful language. I read and reread the book and still enjoy reading it very much. When reading it is as if I may join in the spiritual experiences of the author, which are very normal day to day experiences of deep stillnes. In ten chapters Shoni Labowitz describes the 10 sephirot of the tree of life and each chapter is devided again in paragraphs in which she describes aspects of the sephirot. These paragraphs are like meditations, in simple and very beautiful language. And when reading I notice that each sephira can be a part of my daily life. That's the beauty of the book for me: spiritual experience is not out of reach and holy and only for very spiritual people, but living day by day with both feet on the ground, enjoying life in many facets.

Are you ready to take a Journey of a lifetime?

Rabbie Labowitz has written a spiritual guide that leads the reader on a wonderful journey of discovery. Each page brings new insights into the awareness of the reader and shows the reader the paths available in the journey we call life. Miraculous Living beautifully describes the Kabbalah's 10 gates of the Tree of Life and the TAO. The commonalities of the two ancient and important works unfold before the readers eyes. Each gate includes a meditation that supports and enhances the message. While written in very different sytes, I found that the truths of Miraculous Living are the foundation of books such as "Simple Abundance" and wonderful companions to books such as "Anatomy of the Spirit". Take time to savor Miraulous Living and you will be on the Journey of a lifetime
