[Paul · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kabbalistic Tree of Life as the basis for holistic view of human life in all of its aspects. Dion Fortune once enumerated a number of disciplines, including biology, mathematics, history, comparative religion, psychology... as a necessary basis for any Kabbalist. Few writers on this subject met, or could be expected to meet, such a goal. Halevi is one few modern writers who do, alongside the likes of Tomberg or Greer. From molecular biology, trough anatomy, psychology and depth psychology, to metaphysics and beyond, with excursions into history, art, politics... Range of covered fields and author's obvious command of them is staggering, just as is the ease and elegance with which author applies Kabbalistic role to their workings and interrelations.

Warren Kenton (Z'ev Ben Shimon Halevi) has dedicated his life to sharing the inner teachings of the Jewish tradition. He is a scholar, a wise man, and a gentleman to boot. It was a pleasure and privilege to study the teaching he expounds.

Fascinating book. Surprisingly difficult text but fascinating look into the esoterica of Kabbalah.
