Kabbalah For Dummies (For Dummies (Religion & Spirituality)) by Arthur Kurzweil Average Rating: "This book is very informative, well writen, and basic for new students of kabbalah and individuals interested in the subject. Kabbalah is a difficult topic to understand and learn. The author did a wonderful job by making it kabbalah easy to understand. I have read over 20 kabbalah books and would sometime have questions about the books I have read. ..."
777 And Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley by Aleister Crowley Average Rating: "Let me start this review off with a disclaimer: I'm not a huge fan of Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a colossal egotist who brought disharmony and conflict everywhere that he went, who was despised by nearly everybody who knew him well, and whose reputation was only later rehabilitated by associates who were reaping a financial profit from Crowley's collected writings; Crowley was a drug addict, with all of the chaos and upheavals that this lifestyle brings into a person's life, and despite Crowley's pontification about the will he ultimately surrendered his own will to the dread god Opium; Crowley took serious and irrevocable oaths to several Occult orders, seldom staying long enough to be fully initiated into their higher mysteries, and repeatedly violating these solemn oaths by publishing whatever secrets happened to be entrusted to him; Crowley was a charlatan and a fraud, the kind of person who would fake a mountaineering expedition in Mexico in order to bilk his backers out of their sponorship money, as he was once caught red-handed doing by a Mexican newspaper... ..."
The Essential Kabbalah: Heart of Jewish Mysticism, The by Daniel C. Matt Average Rating: "This is the first book that I ever read on the Kabbalah and I would recommend it as the best starting place to anyone who is interested in the subject. The reason I recommend it over Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism (by Gershom Scholem, arguably the most important and influential scholar in this area) is because this book gets the reader directly in touch with the texts (and, thanks to the commentary, the meanings derived from them) that make up what has come to be known as "Kabbalah."Matt divides his book into sections by topic and each entry contains an excerpt from a text that fits the particular topic. ..."
Nano: Technology of Mind over Matter by Rav P. S. Berg Public interest in the connection between science and religion has recently become very high, but the subject has long been studied by Kabbalists. Years before “nano” entered the vernacular as an abbreviation for “nanotechnology” — which essentially means “less is more” rather than “the bigger, the better” — Rav Berg was speaking and writing about this scientific concept in spiritual terms. ...
The Secret: Unlocking the Source of Joy and Fulfillment by Michael Berg Average Rating: "Extremely simple, yet thought provoking. This is one of those short books that you read in one or two sittings. The purpose or theme of this book is to promote sharing and caring. The concepts are not extremely deep on the surface, only upon meditation do the ideas expand. If you read just for the sake of reading, this book will be a waste of time for you. ..."
The Zohar 4: Pritzker Edition, Volume Four (Zohar: The Pritzker Editions) Average Rating: "I rated this book only because Amazon doesn't allow a reviewer to pass on this part of the process. In fact, I have nothing to say about its merits or shortcomings -- except that there are a couple of options that some readers may not know about.
For those who can read Hebrew: Rabbi Yechiel Bar-Lev authored Yedid Nefesh al Ha-Zohar, a fourteen volume Aramaic / Hebrew translation with two levels of commentary and some interesting scholarly digresions in the margins. ..."
Tree Of Life: An Illustrated Study in Magic by Israel Regardie Average Rating: "This is not a book to read -- it's a book to contemplate. It's a reference book, one that will soon be bristling with post-it notes.This edition is particularly valuable because it's printed in nice large print on very good paper, with sturdy (though paperback) binding. The printing is crisp, so the illustrations, woodcuts, line-drawings, and sigils and Magical Seals, are sharp enough to read so you can copy them in every detail.The numerous color plates are on heavy foolscap, bright, shiny and true-color. ..."
The Kabbalah Book of Sex: And Other Mysteries of the Universe by Yehuda Berg Average Rating: ""Receiving pleasure directly for oneself alone and instinctively reacting to everything and everyone around us is a pleasurable but poisonous potion that brings us instant gratification along with a drop of death with every sip. What dies is the Light of our soul. What dies is our sex life." ~ pg. ..."
Complete Magician's Tables by Stephen Skinner Average Rating: "Stephen Skinner has truly provided a great service for magicians with the publication of this monumental opus. No longer will practitioners of the Art have to be content with Crowley's problematic 777, as its contents have been revised, expanded and (where applicable) corrected by Skinner, and laid out in a format that's actually more accessable and easier to read. ..."
