Synopsis of the Book
Esoteric Course in Kabbalah comprises twenty-two chapters, following the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot; thus reasserting the indisputable esoteric interrelationship between the Tarot and Transcendental Kabbalah, which are both seen here as a single whole.
In this book, Samael Aun Weor recovers for us the original Kabbalah of the great esoteric mysteries of antiquity, as taught in the ancient Mystery Schools.
As the author states in the book, on explaining the mysteries of the Kabbalah he does not follow the traditional ‘Hebraic drumbeat’. In other words, the author completely departs from the orthodox interpretation of the Kabbalah, since the latter has drifted away from the genuine postulates of Primaeval Gnosis.
In Esoteric Course in Kabbalah, Samael Aun Weor, as the Avatar of the Synthesis, regales us with an unparalleled vision of the science of Kabbalah, since, in this book, he brings together Transcendental Alchemy, Esoteric Tarot, Hermetic Kabbalah, High Magic, the Mysteries of Christification and Practical Gnostic Psychology, all integrated in a harmonized single whole.
As in all his books, Samael Aun Weor’s untiring aim is to guide sincere seekers after the genuine Hermetic treasures, in order to lead them to the Inner Self-realization of the Being; represented in this book as the Return to the Absolute, as shown in the twenty-second Arcanum of the Tarot, which is the last chapter of this unique course/handbook of practical Self-realization.
This is a book of practical Christification. This is a book of absolutely practical, transcendental Esoterism.
We do not theorize in this book. This is a completely practical work. Many students yearn to attain Christification, but they do not know where to start. They do not know the ‘key’, the secret.
In this book we give the students of Gnosis the key, the secret…
