La Energía de las Letras Hebreas

by Philip S. Berg

The Zohar tells us that one of God’s first creations were twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but these letters were far more than the simple symbols of communication that would later be used in a galley of type. In the metaphysical universe, each letter transfers awesome power from the Upper World to our physical dimension. Yet only one would be found to contain the attributes necessary to trigger the cosmic event that would propel the unseen world into the realm of material reality. As many know, the Bet was chosen. It is the first letter, of the first word, of the first story in the first book of the Five Books of Moses. Kabbalists teach that the Hebrew alphabet, which in Hebrew is called “ivrit” comes from the root word “lavir” meaning “to transfer.” Letters are like wires, a technology for transferring energy from the Light of God into the physical world. The allegory of the letters as they pleaded their respective cases for the primary role in God’s creative process is the blueprint by which Creation was made possible. Rav Berg illustrates the bedrock of Kabbalah, and poetically reveals the spiritual meaning and history of each of the twenty-two letters: how and why it was created, and what energy it transmits to us. The Rav throws light onto some of the most vexing problems of the present age of quarks, quasars and quantum mechanics during this time in which physicists and metaphysicists are joining hands and minds.

Summary: Great if you must learn the deeper meaning of the Hebrew alphabet. Probably good to have as a reference.

I can't tell if this is simply how the alphabet is taught or if the writer did a great job at talking through each letter and it's place and meaning as relates to the word of God. I enjoyed it though I likely would want to memorize what he's saying. This likely requires more than 1 read if you are not from this religion and culture from childhood learning these stories.

¡Muy interesante!

Es mi primer acercamiento a las letras hebreas, no me ha sido fácil su comprensión, pero entiendo que son sumamente profundas y complejas. Me deja una idea general y de su poder. Creo que es un libro que requiere una relectura o más para asimilar con mayor precisión algunos puntos. Definitivamente me siento muy interesada en ahondar en este tema.

Enjoyed. Twice.

The first time through, much was unfamiliar to me. But intriguing. Especially the role of Blessing. So I read it again. Much more informative and challenging. The mystic in me will be reading more by this author.

Está bien Pat aprender .

Not a dense text and works well as an introductory guide to read the Zohar.

Although I do not completely understand the science, this book is interesting when wanting to learn about some of the beliefs in Kaballah.

It uses the framework of a story about the Hebrew letters asking to be used for Creation and explains the battle between good and evil in the answers, which is very enjoyable.

I understood some Bible stories more clearly, such as the story of Joseph and his brothers.
