Kabbalah, Science and the Meaning of Life: Because Your Life Has Meaning

I have been very interested in what science is capable of for quite a while now. So after I fell into Kabbalah study I decided to check this one out. The first half of the book kind of focused on the scientific side of the world and how a lot scientist will admit that they have come across a barrier in which they can't study. They lack the tools to experiment beyond a certain point. The second half of the book covers more of the connection of this barrier and why scientist aren't able to study it. I found the second half of the book very hard to read. I was only able to digest a page or two at a time. There was a lot to be said and it was hard to understand at times. All in all though, the book was very informative and enlightening.

Throughout the ages kabbalah has been called many things. Most often it is referred to as a religion or as mysticism. Even in the modern era most people don’t know what kabbalah is about. Even some people who say they are students of kabbalah. In his book “Kabbalah Science and the Meaning of Life,” Rav Michael Laitman PhD, sets the record straight - Kabbalah is a science. In conversation with some of today’s leading scientists Rav Laitman explains how Kabbalah investigates nature and penetrates it’s secrets to a much deeper level than the current theories of quantum mechanics. This book expands the reader as it expands scientific understanding.

This is not an introductory book to the study of Kabbalah, but it does serve as an introductory book to Kabbalah’s more technical and scientific aspects. Kabbalah is a science and this science explains the overall structure of the spiritual worlds. This book gives us a strong foundation to begin the exploration of the science and mathematics of our existence. There is nothing mystical or ethereal in these pages. The discussion relates directly to the nature of matter and specifically relates Kabbalah to Quantum Physics. A must read for all serious Kabbalah students and a reference guide to be used again and again.
