you want to know rabbi issac's view on the universe in a unbias way; including about adam, lilith, and eve? purchase this book. even the demoness Lilith is seen having a chance of redemption especially in the ideas of the matriarch Leah representing her in the marrige to jacob (line 102 page 158). a must read and reference material to the occultist, mystic, scholar who is studying about the 'queen of demons'.

(This review is based on reading the 30-odd pages of this book that Amazon makes available on-line.)

As with any translation of esoteric literature, the author of this book had difficulties in choosing understandable English phrases for the technical language of the original. This almost-literal translation is often undecipherable unless you already understand the Hebrew context from which it was translated.

This book badly needs footnotes -- lots of them.

The first part of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's "Innerspace" is perhaps a good alternative (or companion) to this book.

This book is tremendous.

It is more than just a book. It helped me understand about why I am here and why we all have hope together in this world and this cosmos.

It is is real kabbalah. Let me repeat: this book is "more than a book".

The translations are from the original Hebrew of Isaac Luria. There is something magic about these aphorisms and ancient sayings that held me and kept my inner self captivated.

Window of the Soul will stay at my bedside for many, many years.

I recommend this book to any human being who longs to solve the riddle of "who am I?" -- "what can I do for the world?" "Why am I here?"

book was realy outstanding more of what i would call true kabblah.opens your mind and heart to walking with the master and renewing yourself
