Covid-19 required profound changes and quick adaptations from people all over the world. We, too, in Bnei Baruch, quickly responded by adjusting our daily Kabbalah lessons. All over the world, we entered the virtual realm to study together in a single room, and the need for new observations and precise insights led us to choose unique topics for the lessons, to help us focus the spiritual work of each student, and of all of us together as a world group. Every topic is a whole world in itself, with its own nature and a wealth of meaningful perceptions. Every excerpt was selected with care from a wide variety of Kabbalistic texts, with an emphasis on the “two great lights”: Baal HaSulam and RABASH. These excerpts solidify us and strengthen the connections among us students. The excerpts we read helped us grasp the thoughts of the kabbalists and the unique spirit that streams out of their words. This book is a rare collection of excerpts from the writings of the kabbalists that we learned with our teacher, Dr. Michael Laitman. For us, it is a fountain of living water, and reading it arouses a unique spiritual inspiration in us. This collection transcends time and space, and you are invited to join us, quench your thirst with it, and grasp some more of the profound wisdom of Kabbalah.

The atmospheres, which are called aethers and airs, are alike in both the spiritual and natural worlds, only that those in the spiritual world are spiritual, and those in the natural world are natural. The former are spiritual because they exist from the sun, which is the first proceeding of the divine love and divine wisdom of the Lord, and from Him receive in them divine fire which is love, and divine light which is wisdom...-from "Part III"Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century inventor and man of science, experienced a spiritual epiphany at the age of 56, when he began to explore Christianity from a mystic standpoint, a stunning change of heart that has since intrigued and fascinated generations of rationalists and philosophers, from Immanuel Kant to Arthur Conan Doyle to C.G. Jung. Did Swedenborg go mad, or is he a genuine prophet? Divine Love and Wisdom, first published in 1763, remains one of Swedenborg's most popular works, his discussion of the Creation of the universe and humanity; it forms the basis of his metaphysics and is an essential foundation for appreciating his other works.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Swedenborg's The Spiritual Life and The Word of God.Swedish scientist and philosopher EMANUEL SWEDENBORG (1688-1772) made notable contributions in the fields of biology, geology, and astronomy before embarking upon his theological commentary. His religious writings include The Apocalypse Revealed, The True Christian Religion, and The Last Judgment.

Remaining a classic in its field, this book explains first how mysticism relates to such things as vitalism, theology psychology, symbolism and magic. This treatment may seem unusual for Christian mysticism, but it relates widely to the world as we know it and the different practices therein. Part Two explores the awakening, purification and illumination of yourself and gives solid groundwork for such things as voices, visions dreams and other mystical experience.

This book offers a complete and detailed overview of Wicca, a neopagan religion that, although formalized in the 20th century, revives and reinvents ancestral practices of witchcraft, paganism, and folk magic. Wicca is presented as a spiritual path that values individuality, personal responsibility, and a deep connection with nature. Unlike many organized religions, Wicca does not have rigid dogmas, allowing practitioners to adapt their beliefs and rituals to reflect their personal needs and experiences. The book explores the history of Wicca from its origins with Gerald Gardner to its global spread, highlighting the role of key founders and the various traditions that have emerged over time. Special focus is given to the fundamental principles of the religion, such as the duality between the God and Goddess, respect for natural cycles, and the importance of ethics in magical practice. The essential practices of Wicca are also addressed, such as the creation and consecration of the magic circle, the celebration of the Sabbats and Esbats (solar and lunar festivals), and the use of magical tools like the athame, the wand, and the cauldron. The role of the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—in ritual practice is explored in depth, showing how these elements underpin the Wiccan worldview and influence magical practices. Another central aspect covered is the Book of Shadows, the personal and sacred record of each practitioner's experiences and knowledge, which serves as a guide throughout their spiritual journey. The book also discusses Wiccans' personal relationship with their deities, the importance of syncretism and adaptation in modern Wicca, and how the religion continues to evolve in response to cultural and social changes. Combining history, theory, and practice, this book is an indispensable read for both beginners and experienced Wiccan practitioners. It offers not only a practical guide to Wiccan practice but also a profound reflection on the values and spirituality that sustain this ever-growing religion.
