Unlocking the Zohar

Rate this book
The Book of Zohar (Book of Radiance), also known as, The Zohar, is one of the most mysterious and misunderstood compositions ever written. The awe, admiration, and even fear it has evoked over the years are unsurpassed.This book contains the secrets of the whole of Creation, but until recently these secrets were shrouded in a cloud of mystery and misconceptions. Now The Zohar is openly unfolding its wisdom throughout the world, to show humanity a way forward, as the book itself declares (VaYera, Item 460), “When the days of the Messiah draw near, even infants will discover the secrets of the wisdom.” The greatest Kabbalist of the 20th century, Rav Yehuda Ashlag (1884-1954) paved a new way for us by which we can reveal the secrets of The Zohar.He wrote the Sulam [Ladder] Commentary and the four introductions for The Zohar to help us come to know the forces that govern our lives, and teach us how we can assume control over our destinies. Unlocking The Zohar is an invitation to a wondrous journey to a higher world. The author, Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman, wisely ushers us into the revelations of the Sulam commentary.In so doing, Laitman helps us fine-tune our thoughts as we read in The Zohar, to maximize the spiritual benefit derived from reading it. In addition to explaining The Book of Zohar, the book contains numerous inspiring quotes from The Zohar, specifically translated, edited, and compiled for easy reading and understanding of this powerful text. -- The ancient wisdom of the Zohar is unlocked for all to enjoy in this English translation and commentary.

-- This Kabbalah book practically feeds the ancient beauty of the Zohar to all those who desire to bask in its glory.

-- This Kabbalah book serves as a guide to the Zohar for anyone. Beginners can familiarize themselves with the ancient tradition of the Zohar while scholars can delve into the ancient text deeper than ever before. .

-- The Zohar is often referred to as the book of splendor, or the book of enlightenment. In this Kabbalah book, the splendorous and enlightening qualities of the Zohar are at the reader’s fingertips.

I don't know if it's my first book of the year or the second one I haven't finished.

It promised a lot but it's not really for the general public but for those versed in Kabbalah and Hebrew culture.

A Heavy Read (Needs a Table of Contents Kindle Version)

I was baffled and confused with the Kindle Version. If you click on the Hardcover and click Look inside, you will find an actual Table of Contents.. I printed it as a guide. Until I figured out the layout, I was lost. The page numbers are only in the Hardcover book.There is a TIC in the Kindle, but the Hardcover contents was more detailed.
