Taming Chaos: Harnessing the Power of Kabbalah to Make Sense of Our Lives (Technology for the Soul) [Hardcover]

Rav P.S. Berg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 9, 2004 | Series: Technology for the Soul

In this significant work, Kabbalist Rav Berg explains how readers can simply and easily tame the chaos in their lives with the tools found in the wisdom of the Kabbalah. According to the Kabbalah, chaos is not random, but rather, the result of an improper understanding of one's personal power and the spiritual system that can energize one's life. In truth, Berg notes, only human consciousness and the human mind can bring lasting order out of chaos. Taming Chaos offers an ancient methodology that provides access to a "bank" of positive energy designed to keep chaos at bay, even during the most unstable times. Drawing on the Kabbalah as a source of spiritual knowledge, Berg shows readers how to achieve self-improvement through spiritual realization.

This review is from: Taming Chaos: Harnessing the Power of Kabbalah to Make Sense of Our Lives (Technology for the Soul) (Hardcover)

First of all, I want to comment on the review that 'R D Kaiser' continues to post on anything published by the Berg's. YES, they ARE Rabbi's-it's just that many Orthodox and Conservative Jews view the Kabbalah Centre in a negative way-so they take their pot shots wherever they can.

This book is a simple and yet very practical insight into the world of removing chaos and negativity from your life. Rav Berg as usual does a good job in 'translating' the often difficult Hebraic Kabbalistic precepts into a 'user friendly' text. That is, in effect, ALL that the Berg's have done since day one regarding their books and study materials. I read books on Kabbalah from many sources, such as Rabbi Michael Laitman, Rav Ashlag, Gahl Sasson and Steve Weinstein, as well as from the Kabbalah Centre, and contrary to what Mr. Kaiser thinks (actually...he doesn't really articulate any reviews of the Berg's, only bashes them and suggests some VERY mediocre books on Kabbalah).

What has been my discovery is that ALL of the authors listed above do essentially say the same things, and relay the same messages...which is why I'm always uncertain as to why the Kabbalah Centre takes such a beating by it's OWN Jewish community....if people are changing their lives for the better, and they are learning the concepts of sharing, removing and squashing the ego, and the importance of helping others, WHAT IS WRONG ABOUT THAT? The Berg's have helped countless people change their lives and undergo a spiritual transformation. And this book is just another contribution, albeit an easy read, in the journey toward fullfillment.

Again, the Berg's basically take the ideas, concepts and precepts of Kabbalah and put it into terms that all of us can relate to. Some of it goes in deeper, and some of it is light-but I challenge anyone to compare the basic messages of 'Taming Chaos' or any books by the Berg's with any other book from a Rabbi on Kabbalah, and you will indeed see that the principles are the same.

This review is from: Taming Chaos: Harnessing the Power of Kabbalah to Make Sense of Our Lives (Technology for the Soul) (Hardcover)

Rav Berg is able to make the complex lessons of Kabbalah, easy to understand for everyone willing to listen. This book is a real treasure.

Rav Berg is able to teach the reader about Kabbalah, and how to make drastic changes in your life, for the better of yourself, your loved ones, and mankind in general.

If you've ever read books on Kabbalah before, you will love this book. It may be a little difficult for beginners to understand, but people with the basic of the basic knowledge, should have no trouble understanding this beautiful text.

Rav Berg is a great man, and I hope that you aren't persuaded by the negative things being said by the naysayers out there. This really can help your life!

This review is from: Taming Chaos: Harnessing the Power of Kabbalah to Make Sense of Our Lives (Technology for the Soul) (Hardcover)

This book is easy to read. The author explains in an easy to understand way. Although, it takes a lot further study, to completly understand kabbalah. This book will be the spark that compels one to seek further answers beyond the dogma of Religion. I think this book is a good read.
