By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)
Hebrew in origin, Kabbalah is an ancient metaphysical science permitting its practitioners to better understand the world they live in and the purposes of God in the lives of His people. Now these timeless principles are provided for the edification of the non-specialist general reader by renowned Kabbalah scholar Rav Michael Laitman (founder and foremost exponent of Systems Philosophy and General Evolution Theory) in "Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide To A More Peaceful Life". Articulate, methodical, accessible, "Kabbalah Revealed" is a superb introduction to, and explanation of, what and how this ancient body of knowledge can provide wisdom, insight, and solutions into the phenomena and quandaries of contemporary life. "Kabbalah Revealed" is strongly recommended for students of Metaphysical Studies in general, and the lore of the Kabbalah in particular.

What is the meaning of Life?,
This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)
Kabbalah Revealed is a book about authentic Kabbalah and this book is for anyone who has ever questioned what is the meaning of life? is there a purpose to all this? what is my relationship with God? This is an introductory book that is easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is really beginning to struggle with all that is going on in this ever fast paced existence and is greatly concerned to where it is all heading and is there a remedy. There is a remedy and you will probably find that Kabbalah is not what you think. Peter LaTona

This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)
This book by Rav Michael Laitman is an absolute must read if you are going to study Kabbalah with Beni Baruch. I would strongly recommend reading it before beginning the online classes as it will very much accellerate the learning process and increase your desire.
Describing the history, system and approach to Kabbalah, the book will provide the reader with an intorduction to the wisdom, as well as the structure of creation. The approachable language, occasional humor and general simplicity (not to be confused with simplistic) writing will definitely cause the reader to want to dive in more - and Laitman has other books that will allow you to do that. The language is very simple and easy to understand, with plenty of summaries, drawings, details and quotes thrown in to the mix. A good primer before reading Wonderous Wisdom by Mike Kellogg as well - it is the definitive prep book for Kabbalah study. If you are well down the path of studies, this book is probably a bit too introductory. However, if you are just starting out or want a quick read to refresh your knowledge, this one will do the trick.

Revealing Kabbalah without the Hollywood glitz and glamor ... as it really is,
This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)
This book is not about the "magic" Kabbalah can do to make you feel better. The Kabbalah this book talks about is far from that around which all the Hollywood hype revolves. In this book, the author traces the ancient roots of man and Kabbalah and describes how Kabbalah's early texts predict both the woes of today's world as well as the current growing interest in spirituality. Laitman asserts that Kabbalah has the aim of fulfilling this desire for spirituality.
This book presents an interesting and surprisingly understandable description for the process of spiritual attainment. Kabbalah Revealed shares that there are a number of Kabbalists throughout history who have experienced and corroborate this ability to attain spirituality. An absolute must read for the growing number of spiritual seekers, for those seeking meaning in their lives.

Worth Sharing With Others!,

This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)
This is a beautiful introduction to authentic Kabbalah. Written in a converstational style that gives the reader the sense that they are speaking one-to-one with Rav Laitman, one is clearly and gently led through big concepts in a totally approachable manner. Each chapter walks the reader through an ever-increasing personal awareness of self and humanity - how we arrived at where we are and our choices going forward. "In A Nutshell" at the end of each chapter gives a succinct summary of the salient points and taken all together they form a cogent plan for personal and collective attainment of spirituality.
