An increasing number of people are seeking to understand the inner meaning of existence. Many search for an entry point into Kabbalah, only to encounter texts that are either overly complex, superficial, or opportunistic. Many seek a work that allows the reader to enter this extraordinary and unexpected world gradually, yet with sufficient depth and certainty. The book before you is precisely that. It presents the world of Kabbalah not as an domain of vague mysticism detached from our daily lives, nor as an "exact science." Rather, this world is a network of life-giving spiritual energies flowing from the Creator to humanity as a whole, to each individual, and back again—intertwining, sometimes turbulent, sometimes serene and imperceptible.
