The Kabbalah, the major work of Jewish mystical learning, maps the poetic universe of Judaism. As never before this philosophy is made clear, relevant, and exciting, and Afterman explains the Kabbalah with a keen sense of advocacy. The book concerns itself with movement from ordinary consciousness towards union, the rectification of the eternal in everyday reality, and an exploration of male and female modes of living.of a Jewish garment worker and an internationally known gypsy singer, with whom he later toured. After graduating from UCLA, Harvard Law, Monash University, he left America for New Zealand and Singapore, and eventually bought a cattle ranch in Australia. In 1981, he emigrated to Israel. He died tragically in 1992. Kabbalah and Consciousness was his last published work.

Review
I consider it a fascinating effort to catch Kabbalah by a sensitive and keen mind. Afterman's book represents illuminating reverberations of Kabbalistic concepts in a poetic consciousness. -- Professor Moshe Idel, Hebrew University

A thin red book with alot of substance!,
By
This review is from: Kabbalah and Consciousness (Paperback)
I would not use this book as a kabbalah primer. But, it is a must have for those who want to study kabbalah beyond the "basic" level. IMHO the chapter on the "Tzadik's Mind" is worth the price of the book. There are also MANY end notes after each chapter.
