Publisher's summary

If you want to learn about the earliest extant work on Jewish mysticism and the primary source for students of Kabbalah, then pay attention....

Considered the foundational document of Kabbalah, the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Foundation) is both esoteric and revolutionary. Its influence on both mystical and traditional thinking in Judaism is inestimable in the commentaries and other writings it's instigated over many centuries.

Sefer Yetzirah is no longer the province of mystics only. Today, it holds a pivotal place in Jewish Theology. As the primary source (with Sefer ha-Bahir) to present the sefirot as the emanations of God, its Creation narrative is realized through the minds of centuries of sages, coming down to us in the voice of this fascinating document.

In this audiobook, you'll discover the presence of Oral Torah through Jewish history and how it interacts with works like Sefer Yetzirah. You'll discover the books of Mishnah and Gemara in Talmud and the intersections of these sources and commentaries about them.

The two Talmuds - Babylonian and Jerusalem - will also be discussed. All this, to better understand the world of Sefer Yetzirah and what it means within its twin frameworks of oral and written Torah and Kabbalah.

In this audiobook, you will:

  • Learn the idea of the three-fold creation
  • Listen to an in-depth discussion of the sefirot, divided into 3 chapters
  • Understand Tzimtzum (the contraction of the Divine), Shevirot ha-Kelim (the breaking of the vessels) and Reshimu (the remnants)
  • Learn about the Four Worlds and Adam Kadmon
  • Understand the Golem and Sefer Yetzirah
  • Discover linguistic mysticism, Abraham Abulafia, and NLP
  • Learn about Gematria, Notarikon and Temurah as Kabbalistic hermeneutical tools

the Sefer Yetzirah and the audible Talmud

he wrote audible on Jewish Meditation and commentaries on both the Sefer Yetzirah and the audible Bahir. His Sefer Yetzirah provides considerable commentary and explanation of the text, though much of it is still a secret don't expect a complete analysis of a definitive sort. None exists at least in English as far as I can determine.

wealth of transcendent knowledge.

Each page is dense with esoteric information. This is not only an audible to teach you the tenets of Qabala as you may understand it, but also a great deal about the holy language of ancient Hebrew - which is, in fact, a very important aspect of true Qabala.

getting to know

Sefer Yetzirah is not just a religious/philosophical text. It's also an ancient engineering manual littered with instructions on how to build spiritual machines, namely modulators designed to prevent afterlife retrogression.

Ancient Science

Any student of esoteric studies should listen to this audible. What the other reviewers have said, I can easily agree with. However, I would like to add that the audible is more than what it seems to many listeners.

Champion!

I think this audible is for advancers if the beginners are willing to learn but make sure thinking very slow. Eat very slow, please.

Many paths to take

Extremely informative but not for the simple at heart. You will need to listen to this audible many times as you work your way through the various stages of existence.
