Is it possible to turn that rush that comes from closing a business deal or having a brief, passionate affair into an enduring sense of wholeness and peace? Kabbalah, according to its increasingly large group of practitioners, is the path from that fleeting feeling of pleasure that most people settle for to the lasting fulfillment that is their birthright as human beings. In The Power of Kabbalah, renowned teacher Yehuda Berg shows how to view and navigate through life by tapping Kabbalistic truths. He explains the key process of transforming from a reactive to a proactive being that will in turn trigger increased creative energy, greater personal power, and a stronger and more satisfying sense of life. These teachings include embracing rather than avoiding problems and obstacles as true opportunities for spiritual development; making miracles through positive thinking; and accepting responsibility for what happens in one's life.

Summary: Read, study, apply, practice & teach this great wisdom!
Comment: When the Rolling Stones sang, "You can't always get what you want, but you get what you need," I didn't realize at the time that they were passing along ancient spiritual wisdom.
The Power of Kabbalah: Technology for the Soul is a book that I purchased in February on the strong recommendation of a friend. But I didn't read it until 4 days ago on a rainy day in Southern California. Since that first reading, I've read it one more time because of the profound truths that resonated with me throughout the book.
I especially like how the book is chunked in bite-sized piece for easy reading. The examples and metaphors (light and darkness, 1% vs. 99%, The Game, The Opponent, the 2 ends of a battery equating to male and female within the same vessel, etc.) make this book simple to understand as well.
Pages 170 to 182 also provide great examples of how applying this ancient wisdom of resistance/free will to our everyday lives can be so easy and useful.
I found the idea of time as being the space between cause and effect to be a profound understanding. And I especially appreciate the idea that good acts in one area of life may not show up first in the same context, but will appear somewhere else first. (Example: Treating business associates with deeper respect may not equate to increased business, but will show up in a better family life instead.)
I was at first turned off on this whole Kabbalah stuff because of the media attention given to it by modern-day celebrities like Madonna, A-Rod, and Britney Spears. But that only exposed my own prejudice.
This is a book to be read, studied, applied, and taught by example for the betterment of everyone. While I may not choose to go deeply into a study of Kabbalah, I am profoundly affected by this simple and wise book.

Summary: A very good Kabbalah
Comment: If you're looking for spiritually based explanations on how life began and a view of the "bigger" picture, you have found the perfect read on Kabbalah. This book just tells you what it is without difficulty.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Like mining for gold. You have to search alot of worthless stuff to find the nuggests of gold.
Comment: Starts as very good wisdom and then turns into alot of dribble. The book has parts of outstanding clarity and consciousness. The book has some parts which will introduce new ways of thinking to you. But also, the book has a lot of nonsense. Sometimes the author is drawing unfounded unreasonable conclusions.
Chapters are broken down into a simplifier format to the pages easy for reading. Parts I and III of the book should be mandatory reading for anybody. Parts II and IV of the book lose all sense of cohesion and rationality. Parts V and VI of the book become long winded, redundant baloney.
I think that the author probably started with some ideas of another older, wiser person which were really good. Then he tried to take their wisdom a step further with his own ideas but the reasoning fell apart.
The philosophy is founded predominantly on this idea of passive resistance or non reaction leading to a life of greater satifaction. It's a philosophy of just accepting whatever life throws at you. It's rididculous. And, the book definately has a very egotistic, "i know better than everyone else" type tone.
You have to sort out the pieces of golden wisdom from the ramble of nonsense but definately worth reading once.

Summary: Power of Kabbalah is Powerful
Comment: I've already read this book 4 times. I recommend this to almost everyone. To gain a grasp of the original ancient wisdom and achieve a sense of spirituality this is a must read.
I recommend this as a first read for those interested in Kabbalah. Most of Yehuda Berg's books are easy to understand and very empowering.

Summary: Easy read
Comment: I thought "The Power of The Kabbalah" was an easy interesting read. I would recommend it but prefer a more historical view with less interpretation. Although, it is a good introduction for those who are curious. One can take what they want from the book and perhaps understand it is a bit "Americanized". I am suspicious by nature, which is why I did not give it the full 5 stars. Cynicism and suspicion conflict will the Kabbalah ways, so perhaps I should keep reading.
