Adam and the Kabbalistic Tree

by Z'ev Ben Shimon Halevi

Adam and the Kabbalistic Tree is a study of human beings as seen by contemporary Kabbalists. After a brief exposition of the Tree of Life, the mystical tool of Kabbalah, the author sets out in modern terms how eternal principles operate throughout the four Worlds present in a human being. Beginning with the body, the process and laws of biology are related Kabbalistically, so that students can see the connection between body and psyche. This is followed by a deatiled study of the anatomy of the psyche, the ancient and modern approaches to which prepare the reader for an examination of the Soul. The latter part of the book is concerned with the awakening of the Soul and its growing consciousness of the upper Kabbalistic Worlds of Creation and Emanation. The conclusion describes human progress into the realm of the Spirit of the Presence of the Divine.

[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.
