The Cipher Of Genesis: Using The Qabalistic Code To Interpret The First Book of the Bible and the Teachings of Jesus

by Carlo Suarès, Gregg Braden (Introduction)

The Cipher of Genesis unlocks the key to the lost traditions of the Book of Genesis, offering profound implications for faiths rooted in the Hebrew Testament--Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Jesus knew this secret wisdom and attempted to teach it, but that message remained with only a few. For the most part, the first book of the Bible has been dismissed as simplistic and archaic, a literal retelling of the creation of the world in seven days, the story of Adam and Eve, and generational listings.

Suares's essential argument is that the words in Genesis cannot simply be translated; one must understand the code, or the true meaning behind the words remains hidden. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet represents a specific number, which signifies the living archetypal forces, moving within the universe. Reading Genesis with knowledge of the code can project these forces into our very being and bring about the experience of Revelation. Among Suares's key points are the evident ramifications of the hidden teachings on parts of the New Testament. It is from this perspective that he interprets the Gospels of Matthew and John in a new and thought-provoking way.

About the author

Carlo Giuseppe Suarès (1892–1976) was a French writer, painter and Kabbalah author. He was born the 12 May 1892 in Alexandria, Egypt of a very old Sephardi family that arrived in Spain probably with the Arab conquest. The ancestors of his Sephardi Jewish family had been expelled from Spain in 1492 during the Inquisition and found refuge in Tuscany, Italy before emigrating to and settling in Egypt in the 18th century. Expelled from Egypt and dispossessed, he settled in Paris and became a French Citizen. He had a diploma in architecture from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and he painted a great deal, having "in true Kabbalistic spirit" sought to discover - and found - a synthesis of light. He died in Paris the 16 July 1976.

[Glynda-lee Hoffmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Carlo Suares is a master Qabalist who manages to pass on the Qabalah through his unique perspective of its ancient language. This is a difficult book to read but well worth the effort.

This profound book drew me into the revelation and freed me of religious shackles.

Whether the style is helping the reader to absorb the material or not, the material is profound and definitely worth a try. The mind-blowing revelation of a deeper reality locked into the Hebrew Alphabet has motivated me to write a book on this subject myself, titled: "The End of Religion, The Beginning of Self. Using the Hebrew Alphabet as Secret Wisdom Key".

Once the basic building blocks of reality have been activated within you, the unfolding revelation becomes all-encompassing and ever-expanding, allowing you to touch base with your deeper Self. You will also be able to locate contradictory beliefs, bridge extremes, and unify your inner and outer world. Enlightening!

I would categorize this as an intermediate book on Kabbalah. Though I have a beginner's knowledge, I struggled to understand some parts. I think perhaps part of my struggle was not doing the gematria along with the book; I wasn't in a mood for adding and looking things up. It's fair enough, though, for the author to ask it of the reader, in my opinion.

The part I didn't like, though, was the constant "and it should be obvious to the reader so I won't elaborate," when it was not actually obvious to this reader. Part of it is the subject matter, since this book isn't written for the layperson in 2021. There were also parts of Genesis that the author completely skipped over because they would be too complex to explain, I think?

I mean, this isn't a bad book, I learned a lot, and the author obviously has an ocean of knowledge. But putting that knowledge into book form is a skill, and I wonder if perhaps that's what this book was lacking: an understanding of how to convey things in a concise, straightforward manner.

read this years ago, and just re-read it. It's quite an interesting read.

Although I only got to read the first couple of chapters about twelve-14 years ago, I will state that what I read there about interpreting the Qabala in the framework of thermodynamics made so much sense to me and has been integrated into my work and understanding of reality since. I hiughly recommend reading what I've read to people who are seriously attempting to understand the very framework of reality.
