Presented from a Kabbalistic perspective, yet presupposing no prior knowledge and without the use of Kabbalistic terminology, this work provides a foundation for understanding the worldview and ideas found in the Zohar, the writings of Rabbi Isaac Luria the Ari'zal and other Kabbalistic works.
The book is organized into four main sections: the general basis of all existence, God's Divine Providence, prophecy, and religious observance.
