Qabalah: The Mystical Heritage of the Children of Abraham КНИГИ ; ГУМАНИТАРНЫЕ НАУКИ Автор: Daniel FeldmanНазвание: Qabalah: The Mystical Heritage of the Children of AbrahamИздательство: Work of the ChariotГод: 2001Формат: pdfРазмер: 3,6 mb The book effectively presents the teachings of an accomplished and knowledgeable mystic, now retired from the world. He transmitted information and meditation methods in private meetings during the 1970s and 1980s. He anonymously published a number of the first English translations of primary qabalistic texts, and distributed tens of thousands of copies through the Work of the Chariot Trust. This book is the first time that a senior student of the Work of the Chariot has compiled much of the teachings from those meetings on the core principles and practices of the Mystical Qabalah.http://.com/files/sb6814cuv0 Contents 5 List of Illustrations 8 Author’s Statement 11 Introduction 17 Background 23 From Tents to Temples to Rabbinical Sects 23 What is the Mystical Qabalah of the Children of Abraham?
