The Origins of Consciousness Volume 1

To recognize the Light in every situation, even in the seemingly darkest times. We know in our soul that what he says is true, yet it seems counterintuitive to our experience. We understand the message at the moment, but our consciousness is elastic returning to its original form, not long after it has been stretched. Like a bungee cord that bounces back with a counterforce, our ego pushes back asking, "Where is all this written?" Much of what he teaches is found in the Study of the Ten Luminous Emanations, Rav Ashlag's commentary on the Writings of the Ari (Rav Isaac Luria). Considered some of the most difficult of all kabbalistic teachings, the Study of the Ten Luminous Emanations discusses the creation of this world and the system that defines our existence. In The Origins of Consciousness, Michael Berg explains Rav Ashlag's commentary, making the incomprehensible, comprehendible. For the person who takes their spiritual work seriously, this book is a must-read--over and over again.
