Kabbalist Rav Berg offers penetrating insights into the age-old mysteries of life, death, and immortality. He explores the true meaning of "mind over matter," and reveals why our own consciousness holds the keys to unending life. By opening ourselves to spiritual challenges we can defeat death once and for all. This new and revised edition draws upon the Rav's personal story and brings that story up to date.
A fantastic kabbalah book.... a radical concept to say the least.... gives answers to questions and creates some more questions. Requires an open mind to read and grasp the concepts. Not really recommended to someone unfamiliar with kabbalah or mind over matter concepts and spirituality in general. Eye opening at times. Memorable. But definitely took me for a loop a few times. And was difficult to process more than once. Regardless, I'm glad I read it and finished it. I'll probably come back to it again
The book was intriguing. There was hard, practical information to take from it-such as awareness and consciousness can lead to a longer, healthier, life.
But many questions still remain. If consciousness can defeat death, why do dogs, monkeys, elephants, plants, etc die? I don't believe any of these creatures have ego.
That said, besides the fact that this book was meant to be read before the year 2000, it is an interesting and worthwhile read.
