Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life is a clearly-written, user-friendly guide to making sense of the surrounding world while achieving inner peace. Each of the six chapters in this book focuses on a different aspect of the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah, shedding new light on a teaching that has too often been shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. A subtle, yet profound idea weaves the book's chapters into a coherent and concrete whole. The first three chapters in Kabbalah Revealed tell us why the present world is in a state of crisis, explaining how our growing desires promote progress as well as alienation, and why the biggest deterrent to achieving positive change is rooted in our own spirits.
Kabbalah Revealed is a must read for anyone wanting to further their studies in Kabbalah. The science of Kabbalah has been around for thousands of years. In the beginning, people were in-tune with nature and they were able to work with nature, and each other, in order to live peacefully. At some point, we take a turn, and we forget we need to work with, and for the benefit of all, in order to live in a peaceful world. Kabbalah Revealed is written in a way everyone can understand and grasp the basic concepts of Kabbalah. It helps individuals look into themselves in order to find answers to questions they have been asking regarding their lives and how they effect this universe.
I must admit, this is probably the best book on the Kabbalah I own. Perhaps I'm just an "Ordinary Person," and that's why I click with it so much. I totally recommend this book. In fact, if I ever was going to start a book discussion group about the Kabbalah, this is the book I'd choose.
"If you want a brighter future we need only change ourselves". This is a quote from Kabbalah Revealed. Countless self-help books say the same thing and yet the future does not get brighter or if it does it's light dims once the new psychology wears off. Kabbalah operates at the root of man's existence. Thus, changes made at this level change reality itself so a person can attain a lasting brighter future indeed. Michael Laitman explains the whats, whys and hows in this wonderful introduction to the study of kabbalah.
This book is a great introduction to this science. It is great gift, and it opens up parts where not many have encounter. A great way for understanding what life is about. a must for those with questions as like what's the meaning of life and why we are here...
great reading, not philosophy
Since the beginning of time people became more and more anxious to understand the meaning of life. In our current generation people have become disenchanted with religion and science and are looking elsewhere for answers. Rav Laitman has been able to answer so many of our concerns in this book, Kabbalah Revealed. He introduces Kabbalah and how it originated and then proceeds to explain how Kabbalah is for everyone during this time of crisis.
Rav Laitman clearly states how change, implementing our free will and choosing the right environment will liberate us from our worst enemy, our ego.
