Introduction to the Zohar, the Book that Changed Judaism... Forever

Enter the Cosmic Drama of a World of Words, a Mystical Journey, the third holiest textual corpus of Judaism. The undullable Masterpiece, the Magnum Opus of Kabbalah. A Renaissance of Human Spirit, wound to Birth forth again, to have us Reborn, rediscovering our Why.
The Zohar is no book, it’s a World, an intricate, subtle and complex one, it’s the mythological Soul of the Soul of Judaism. Wrestle with its Historical context, controversial Authorship, its internal quixotic Structure, and the daringly provocative Ideas it brought to Life. A Paradigm Shift of Epic Proportions, radically and fundamentally reconceptualizing God, Man, Torah (the Bible) and the World.
Settlers of the frontiers of Consciousness, Perspicacious Pioneers of the undulating precipitous pyrenees of perspecation, Sages, nay Saints, nay sacred Sorcerers, God’s of Men, embarked to Unite the Transcendence and Immanence in the Infinite Divine Romance and bring final messianic closure to the millennia-long arc of the meta-story of the inner life of God. Answering for millions the realest existentially infernal questions, why do we suffer? why are we in a state of internal alienation and external estrangement?
More that the Zohar appeared in our universe at some God given moment, more so do we inhabit the world painstakingly conconted, constructed and conjured by the punctuation, paragraphs and pages, sapphires, spheres and sefirot, sefer, sofer and sipur of this holy text. Augmenting our perception of Being and awareness of the Divine, the unity of our lives, reaching that tipping-point of illumination, the immediacy of the ever-present messianic moment becoming a manifested reality, a tree of Life to all who grasp it, Here and Now.
With this Book we will go out of Exile. - Zohar, 124b, Ra'aya Meheimna

“This is a very Talmudic idea, that somehow a book is the primary reality. The idea in some schools of Hasidism is that all of the future is already contained in the Torah. Then when you ask them, ‘Well, if it’s contained there, then isn’t it predestined’ the answer is no, because the letters are scrambled and only the movement of the present moment through the text correctly unscrambles and arranges the letters.” - Terence McKenna
