Join one of the world's leading interpreters of Jewish mysticism in discovering why the words of the past reveal the path of our future. Kabbalah teaches that there is a secret unity of all Being, hidden within the multiplicity and diversity of life as we experience it. In order to discover God--or the real meaning or the essential Oneness of Being--we need to turn inward, to look more deeply at the world around us. Scratch the surface of reality and you will discover God. We, in fact, discover the Oneness of Being by staying right here, paying as close attention as we can to the present in which we live. —from Chapter 2 Through wisdom gained from his own forty-year spiritual search for the Divine Presence within, Arthur Green challenges us to question the assumptions of modern consciousness, and by doing so open ourselves to learning from Kabbalah, a profound tool of human understanding. Drawing on the wisdom of the Zohar, the masterwork of the Jewish mystical tradition, and other kabbalistic texts, join Green in examining: How is the kabbalistic tradition relevant to today's seeker? Are the ancient and mysterious symbols of any value to us in out very different world? How should Kabbalah be refitted so that it might serve as an appropriate vehicle for a contemporary spiritual quest? Can this be done without destroying the soul of the tradition and while acknowledging today's reality?
