More DescriptionThis book introduces a practice that conditions the mind but is established in the heart. This is where the long road to the crystallization of the philosopher's stone begins. The alchemical stone is neither a physical substance nor a psychological state. It is a prism through which the infinite passes and reality is seen. The heart establishes the foundation stone of the holy temple, the pivot point of the axis mundi, the center of the universe, and the point from which the original tzimtzum contracted to the sides leaving a vacated space. This is the point from which all calculation and measurement commences, where conceptuality both begins and ends. To understand this way of working this book presents nine central kabbalistic themes (The Eneatych) that comprise a curriculum for study and contemplation that can constitute an entire lifetime's work.
