The Origin of Creation

Now that we have established that today there is a real need to study Kabbalah, it’s time to learn some of the basics of this wisdom. Even though the scope of this book does not allow for a thorough study of the Upper Worlds, by the end of this chapter you will have a solid enough basis to continue, should you want to study Kabbalah in depth.

A word about drawings: Kabbalah books are, and always have been, filled with drawings. Drawings help describe spiritual states or structures. From the very beginning, Kabbalists have been using drawings as tools to explain what they experience along the spiritual path. Nevertheless, it is very important to remember that the drawings do not represent tangible objects. They are simply images used to explain spiritual states, which concern one’s most intimate relationship with the Creator, with Nature.
