The Sepher Yetzirah is the oldest and most mysterious of all kabbalistic texts.
When properly understood, Sepher Yetzirah becomes the instruction manual for a very special type of meditation meant to strengthen concentration and to aid the development of telekinetic and telepathic powers.
This enhanced edition includes a completely revised version of the original William Wynn Wescott translation and newly revised editions of two landmark Kabbalah works from 1913, Jewish Mysticism by J. Abelson and The Cabala, Its Influence on Judaism and Christianity by Bernhard Pick.
Sample topics covered in this definitive volume: THE THIRTY-TWO PATHS OF WISDOM, ESSENISM, THE MERKABAH (CHARIOT), PHILO: METATRON: WISDOM, SOME GENERAL FEATURES OF THE 'ZOHAR,' THE TEN SEFIROT, THE SOUL, NAME AND ORIGIN OF THE CABALA, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CABALA IN THE PRE-ZOHAR PERIOD, THE CABALA IN THE POST-ZOHAR PERIOD, THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCTRINES OF THE CABALA, THE CABALA IN RELATION TO JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY.
There are notes, footnotes and detailed bibliographies to all three books.
