Universal Kabbalah: Dawn of a New Consciousness

If read with an open heart and mind, this book is not about a "Dawn of a New Consciousness" but is a getaway to higher realms of awareness and understanding. The Stoffs with clear, unadorned ideas provide readers access to ideals of wonder and beauty. Their guidance in contemplating these formative ideals not only provides us with an opportunity to understand the creative love at work in the world but the creative love at work within us. --Jeffery Kane, Ph.D. Vice President for Academic Affairs, Long Island University This book is a wonderful resource for all those who can open their minds and learn to accept the truth. I have found the wisdom of Kabbalah to be a resource for me in helping to understand the nature of creation and life. I believe it helps us to live with the unexplainable, as astronomers and quantum physicists must do, and yet remain scientific as we explore the nature of creation and the intelligence of matter, energy, and consciousness. --Bernie S. Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine, & Miracles UNIVERSAL KABBALAH is both a beautiful love story and a healing manual for the Soul, the Mind and the Body. It expresses in a profound way, the eternal religion that is the basis for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. And more, it gives clear instruction for the just and loving god of their childhood: the return to which is our only hope for the future. --Reverend Bette McFerson Benner, Editor of Spiritual Venturer It is very reassuring to me to find Jesse Stoff, M.D., leading the way toward a new healing system. --Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS. Vice President of Nutrition, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Author of Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Not only is he (Dr. Sheldon Stoff) great, but a true gift to all who meet him. --Rabbi Eric Bram, Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Dr. Stoff has written a book of truth--the truth about an ancient yet revolutionary way to heal. UNIVERSAL KABBALAH speaks to our soul while challenging the mind and comforting our heart. This unique book is a MUST read for all those who want to know. --Yulius Poplyansky, M.D., Director of The International Foundation of Innovative Medicine In all, a heartfelt and highly original contribution and a fascinating read for those seeking a universal approach to an ancient wisdom. --Marianne Martin, Assistant Editor of Light of Consciousness: A Journal of Spiritual Awakening A well written book with great depth designed to bring people together. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to all seekers who want to start or continue their journey toward a practical spirituality right here on the Earth. It does what it says it will do. --Rabbi Michael Shapiro, Center for Spiritual Growth, Scottsdale Torah Institute I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful book: UNIVERSAL KABBALAH. It is a book that goes stra

A WAY OUT OF THE CAVE

This book is about opening to the spiritual, expanding our consciousness, and going beyond the self-centered ego. As Dr. Sheldon Stoff, the primary author of the book, states, most of us live in a cave seeing little but shadows. Stoff, professor emeritus from Delphi University, offers good advice on how to get out of the cave. The four pillars of Stoff's work with Kabbalah are studying; praying; meditating and chanting; and doing or fulfilling Mitzvot (good deeds). He explains how best to approach these four pillars. "By pursuing these four pillars with love and responsibility our self-centered egos shrink and our spiritual consciousness expands," Stoff offers. He likens expansion of consciousness to coming out of a dark theater into broad daylight. Other subjects include the Tree of Life, reincarnation, male-female relationships, the soul, Jesus, the Sefirot, and forgiveness and compassion, to name just a few. Much of Dr. Stoff's wisdom has been obtained through deep meditation. It seems to be consistent with that of other seemingly enlightened teachers. The second section of the book has to do with Kabbalistic medicine and is by Jesse Stoff, a medical doctor as well as a naturopathic and homeopathic physician. His discussion of the part played by mind on physical health is informative and interesting. This book has much to offer the seeker as well as those well along the spiritual path.

Authentic self-inquiry & the joy of caring

The collaborative work of Kabbalah experts Sheldon Stoff, Jesse A. Stoff, and Lorraine M. Stoff, Universal Kabbalah: Dawn Of A New Consciousness is a compassionate and informative work that deftly explores the power of love, the importance of authentic self-inquiry, the joy of caring, the value of committed relationships, and the holy Spark of God. An uplifting and inspirational account dedicated to physical, moral, and spiritual self-improvement through living with passion, understanding, and connection. Universal Kabbalah is an impressive and very welcome addition to Judaic Studies reference collections in general, and Kabbalah Studies reading lists in particular.
