Book description
It is very difficult to comprehend that our destiny lies in nonphysical
dimensions, but Van Auken teaches this well while explaining that our
present life is the perfect prerequisite for the next one. Van Auken's
easy writing style helps to shed light on the most complicated concepts
in Kabbalah, making it easier to grasp the five divisions of our being,
the four planes of existence, the seven heavens, the ten emanations, and
the twenty-two channels of the Infinite Creative Consciousness. We also
learn how to expand our minds to perceive these realms, to journey
through them, and as Van Auken writes, “to remain sane, healthy, and
active in our present life.” The chapters on magical incantations,
talismans, and numerology-so integral to Kabbalah-give us helpful tools
for recognizing and changing positive or negative influences in and
around us. The chapter on angels, archangels, and demons reveals unseen
helpers and troublemakers, and tells us how to avoid the one while
employing the help of the other. Other chapters include those on ecstasy
and spiritualizing body and mind. John Van Auken is a director at
Edgar Cayce's A. R.E., and is one of the organization's most popular
speakers, traveling throughout the U. S. and abroad to address audiences
on the body-mind-spirit topics found in the Edgar Cayce readings. He is
an acknowledged expert on the Cayce readings, the Bible, ancient
prophecies, world religions, meditation, and ancient Egypt. John
conducts seminars in the U. S. and abroad, and is a tour guide to the
many sacred sites around the world, including an annual tour to Egypt.
