About this title

From the Back Cover:

This comprehensive and easily understood book traces the development of Kabbalistic thought from its early beginnings to the twentieth century and offers insights into the cosmic process and the concept of reincarnation. Kabbalah for the Layman includes a wide range of encounters with noted Kabbalists who give us information about their personal lives. This book also explains the simple truth about these exceptional Kabbalists without the dogma and suspicion that often surrounds this fascinating topic. Kabbalah for the Layman Volume One is indispensable for those people whose interest in Kabbalah is based on tapping into its spiritual significance in order to enhance self-knowledge. In contrast to ritual without reason, the book's contemporary approach to this most ancient of all sciences provides us with a fresh perspective of Judaism. This book promises to enrich our mundane, physical world and add purpose to our lives. Written by Rav Berg, a contemporary Kabbalist and current dean of The Kabbalah Centre, the book focuses on the understanding and use of Kabbalah as a tool for our spiritual growth. Rav Berg, who holds a doctorate in comparative religion, observes " any approach to Judaism with a strictly traditional viewpoint based solely on established dogma all too often leaves people feeling spiritually unfulfilled. " As mankind enters the Aquarian Age of spiritual awakening and heightened awareness, Rav Berg takes us from our familiar world of existence to a startling new view of our universe. The author blazes the Kabbalistic trail from the very beginnings of our universe and leads us to a deeper, more intuitive realization of our enormous potential for attaining understanding and spirituality.

Kabbalah For The Layman Volume 2 The greatest, most advanced, computer ever conceived is not locked within the confines of a massive government vault. Nor is it the jealously guarded secret treasure of some chrome-eyed corporate giant. No, the greatest, most advanced and powerful computer that was ever invented is a strange looking thing that weighs no more than a few pounds. With the outer casing removed, one might easily mistake it for a creature that just emerged from the depths of some fictional Black Lagoon. You have probably gathered that we are referring to that convoluted mass of nerves and tissue: The Human Brain. END
