Thank you, Michael Berg -- this is a great gift to humanity! And it is greatly enriching my life! After reading most of this book in one day, despite numerous work distractions, it has already helped me enormously. I find myself spiritually healed, encouraged, given new hope and wisdom and love and faith. It is like the author says, he is continually surprised and gratified to hear feedback from readers that this book has changed their lives. I do not doubt it. It is surely one of the most important books I have ever read. Not just for intellectuals, nor for Jews (and I am a self-confessed Jewish intellectual who sometimes wonders why God didn't have him around at the Creation of the Unvierse to kibbitz a little bit), but for all people who seek greater happiness, wisdom, and love in their lives. The spiritual principles stand up -- far overshadowing the intellectual complexity with which the Kabbalah is normally presented. (In fact, I find some of the negative reviews in this section to be unintentionally hilarious in matching the warning Michael gives that the more one shares the light, the more one meets resistance from various forms of darkness, including intellectual condescension, envy, materialistic greed, and more -- and that the greater the light the more the resistance.) Herein, instead of showy philosphpical complexity, we find folksy pithy and yet highly profound instructional stories by learned Rabbi's and teachers of the Kabbalah which are tremendous growth tools. Instead of hair-splitting footnotes about various scientific and philosophical disagreements among purists, we find simple life-changing paradigms, like that the purpose of life is to learn how to acquire for the good of others, not just oneself, and insights into reincarnation, and karma, and that the central lesson is that through sharing we resoante with the Light of the Creator and become great, while we must be courageous in action yet humble and cautious in not hurting or unduly judging others, and as we learn to love as the Creator loves, we bring about the death of death. (Reminds me of the insights of my Buddhist wife -- the Kabbalah is truly a source of universal wisdom!) This book makes spiritual learning fun, yet never sacrifices depth and sincerity and meaningfulness. I am enjoying it thoroughly. And I have ordered still more books on the Kabbalah. Thank you, Michael Berg. I owe you more than I can ever repay. Thank you, Michael Berg -- this is a mitzvah!

must read for everyone interested in kabbalah, judaism, the torah, the zohar, the bible, either you are a jew, a christian, a muslim, a rastafari, a buddhist, this book is great source of inspiration.

I love anything about Kabbalah; keeping it basic and understand-able; very helpful material

This book belongs as one of a set. Elizabeth Clare Prophet wrote a book which clearly describes some of the nuts and bolts of the Kabbalah and is a good first book. This is more of a very wholistic view of what it all means. I feel that I have a decent understanding now.

Beautiful book. Michael Berg guides us gently through the steps of the Kabbalah way of living. Very inspiring. Helped me to feel I could read the books now, and find understanding.
