A radical new understanding of the Cabala that sheds light on its Pythagorean, Platonic, and Gnostic roots. Starting from first principles, it aims to make the meaning and purpose of the system understandable, and to show how certain practices unfold naturally from those principles and lead to the heights of human possibility. Divided into three parts the book covers the philosophical principles of Cabala, then does a deep dive into its symbolism, and finally covers practical aspects which include meditation, ceremony, active imagination, the body of light, and pathworking.
