9781330205785: The Secret Doctrine in Israel (Classic Reprint): A Study of the Zohar and Its Connections

Synopsis

Unlock the hidden threads of Jewish mysticism and its echoes in Christian thought.

This study surveys how the Zohar speaks of ascent, reincarnation, and the soul’s journey through a series of spiritual realms, tying ancient doctrine to later spiritual ideas.

Drawing on the Zohar and related kabalistic writings, the book examines concepts like the Shekinah, the seven palaces above and below, and the path of the soul after death. It weighs how these ideas intersect with early Christian and later occult interpretations, keeping the focus on what the texts say and how they have influenced later thinking.

Through careful analysis, the work presents a framework for understanding how mystic doctrine moves from ancient sources to later metaphysical systems. It discusses doctrinal questions without promising simple answers, inviting readers to trace connections across traditions and periods.

  • Core ideas such as Shekinah, palaces, and the ascent of the soul
  • Seven palaces and seven palaces of Prayer as pathways of spiritual progress
  • Reincarnation as it appears in Zoharic literature and its implications
  • Connections between Kabbalah and Christian theological themes

Ideal for readers of occult history, Jewish mysticism, and the study of how ancient ideas shape later spiritual thought.
