The most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the Kabbalah, making this complex mystical tradition easy to understand and use.
Kabbalah is a tradition that is closely related to Judaism, but which has links also with Ancient Egyptian religion and currents all across the Near and Middle East. Outwardly it was studied and taught principally by Rabbis, but in fact on a more secret level its development was also taken forward by Moslem scholars, Renaissance princes, alchemists of all kind and magicians. It found its expression in the tarot deck and in the esoteric teachings of Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune.
In a way, it's all in here and Kabbalah holds the key to all the workings of the universe. We can use it to make sense of our own minds and motivations and become better happier people by relating more consciously to all that is. As Dutch teacher Mike Bais points out, we can also use this supremely flexible system to understand the universe and how it works and one of his key points in this book is that Kabbalah is ideally placed to bring science and spirituality back together again after centuries of estrangement.
The book is full of diagrams and illustrations that enhance the text. The exercises and practical teachings here form a crystal clear course of study for anyone willing put in the time and change their lives.
"This is one of the best introductions to Kabbalah I have read. It goes further, and deeper, than many others and it is at the same time balanced, measured and generous. This is a book not just for the interested explorer but for those seeking wisdom at the most profound level. This is Kabbalah for the present and the future, including the world of science. It is also Kabbalah for daily life, for practice and discovery. I recommend it highly." - John Matthews, author of Arthurian Magic
Mike was born and lives in Utrecht in the Netherlands. His esoteric training comes from the western esoteric tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. He trained in this tradition with Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi, also known as Warren Kenton, the UK born author and teacher. His professional background is as a physiotherapist, counsellor and university teacher. He is also the author of two books: A Kabbalistic View on Science Parts One & Two (2019 and 2022).
