Technically, Kabbalah has two essential systems: one that addresses the hidden messages in the written realm of the biblical texts (first the Torah, and then the Nebiim, or "Books of the Prophets"), encrypted in words and letters, their numerical, anagrammatic, and acronym meanings—in addition to other more complex mathematical mechanisms. The other system decodes the symbols conveyed in stories such as Barashit (Genesis) and mystical or supernatural visions experienced by certain figures in ancient Hebrew culture.
In this first volume, I explain all the basic, and some more advanced, tools of Kabbalah, and reveal mysteries and hidden secrets of the first two chapters of the first book of Moses, Barashit, both at the level of form (of phenomena or the physical world) and at the level of the mind (spiritual or metaphysical plane).
