Rabbi Ashlag starts off his Introductions to the Kabbalah by considering what the full potential of a human being really is. We have both soul and body, but they come to us via very different paths. How do they complement each other? Do the events of my life have meaning? Rabbi Ashlag patiently unfolds the answers to these questions step by step from the perspective of the innermost part of Torah.

This authentic translation into English of two Kabbalah texts written in Hebrew asks deeply personal questions about the essence of an individual and the existence of a soul. Discussing the experience of an individual and the role of humans in creation, it offers an understanding of the places of evil, suffering, compassion, and joy in the full experience of divine love. The Kabbalah is presented here not as an esoteric study limited to the divinely inspired, but as a universal pathway of the spirit. Coming from the West rather than the East, this book fills a long-awaited gap as it teaches an essential spirituality within the conceptual framework of the Western tradition.
