About this Item

Paperback. The complex reality of today's high-tech, multi-layered society often makes us feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Alienated from traditional religious structures and belief systems, isolated and helpless in the face of the tremendous challenges facing the planet, we find it difficult to find our life's direction. What is left for us to hold onto and believe in? How do we forge our way forward for ourselves and our world? In this accessible guide to the life of the Jewish mystics, renowned teacher and spiritual mentor Rabbi Yoel Glick teaches us how to use the truths of spiritual wisdom to discover our true identity and find our place in the cosmos. Using the knowledge of the secret traditions of Judaism and other world religions, he shows us how to get in touch with our divine essence and live life with greater meaning and awareness.Rabbi Glick combines textual knowledge with experiential insights to explore: the nature and purpose of the kabbalistic tree of the sefirot or chakras; the composition, development and evolution of the soul; the organization of the supernal worlds and the dynamic forces that underlie its structure; and how to harness the inspiration and power of the spiritual realm and bring it into our world. This book is for everyone searching to expand their awareness and widen their horizons-Jews and non-Jews, long-time students of spiritual wisdom or novices on the path. It is for all those who yearn to deepen their understanding and extend their self-knowledge-who want to be connected to their own soul. Deepen your understanding, harness the power of the Infinite inside you, and connect to your own soul. This unique guide to the nature of both physical and spiritual reality explores the body's energy centers, the many dimensions of the soul, the Divine nature, and the unfolding relationship between the lower and the higher realms.

About this title

Synopsis

An innovative handbook to the world of the Jewish mystics that opens up a window onto a higher reality.

"When we embark upon the path of the mystic ... this earthly plane is no longer the focus of our lives. Rather, it is the invisible realm of the soul that draws us toward it. We become aware that there are worlds upon worlds beyond the material existence in which we live.... This understanding [illuminates] our ascent into the Timeless Expanses of Infinity."
―from “The Divine Structure of Reality”

Through the exploration of the body's energy centers (the sefirot and chakras), the many dimensions of the soul, the divine structure of reality and the unfolding relationship between the lower and the higher realms, you will discover how to harness the power of the Infinite inside you and infuse that power into your life and world.
