Reading this book, I kind of felt like I had walked into a movies theater part way through the film. This
is the second book in a four-book series. I have not read the preceding volume, and my knowledge of
Kabbalah is, at best, minimal, so I was sort of playing catch-up" at the beginning.
The author is a Ph.D. and professor of English which, at first blush, doesn't give any indication of a
background conducive to Kabalistic studies. She has, however, spent more than two decades
re-envisioning the Kabbalah. This amount of time spent in experiencing the Kabbalah provides a more
than adequate background for this work.
This book comprises mostly theoretical concepts whereas Reviewing the Covenant, (©1999, Inner
Traditions) complements it with the leas theoretical side of the Kabbalah.
Perhaps the approach to the Kabbalah from the inspiration of sacred geometry (a non-orthodox starting
point in many ways) is what inspired the approach used by Dr. Leet. How valid her understanding of
the study of Kabbalah is must be judged by each reader. My own level of Kabalistic understanding is
less than mediocre, thus giving me no real basis for judgment.
Her approach is, by her own admission, non-traditional. Therefore, since it runs counter to the academic
scholarship on the Kabbalah, many readers may object to her conclusions. All I can say is that a
person's conclusions are not subject to judgment until and unless they are presented as facts.
The inter-relationship of Pythagorean geometry and Kabalistic though and interpretation forced me to
reactivate memories I haven't used in decades, and also forced me to begin rethinking in mathematical
terms. It was a struggle in the beginning, and it took me a while to get up to speed.
I am a little too old, and a little too set in my ways of thought, to enjoy being forced to confront
