This review is from: Understanding the Kabbalah (For the millions series, FM 48)

Although this book is out of print (written by the author in 1973, L.A.) I discovered a Dutch translation of it in a second-hand bookstore and was marvelled at the clarity and conciseness with which Albertson explains the basic principles of the Jewish mystical Tree of Life. The Otz Chiim is quite a complicated mystical model to explain the mysteries of creation, but this book catapulted me from one insight into the other. It is highly recommended for the "deep thinker", or "lover of heavy issues", the person who wants to look further and who remains unsatisfied by the official explanations for the existential questions provided by the three great monotheistic religions. It will also give open-minded Christians a chance to re-interpret texts in the Old Testament which have always remained obscure. This is a great book, written by a humble and knowledgeable teacher, who invites us to go up the path of insight as a candidate magician or mysticus, guided by the light of the ten Sephiroth of the Otz Chiim, the Tree of Life.
