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
quantum physics. Math and science were never strong subject for me (English and the humanities were
more my style). So I really had to knuckle down for this book.
Prior to starting this book I thought I understood the basics of gematria, but it quickly moved beyond
what I thought I knew. I learned a lot more in a relatively few pages than I had ever experienced before.
Each chapter of this book is designed as a stand-alone treatise on a particular aspect of the Kabbalah.
Do not even consider tackling this work if you are not prepared to dedicate time and energy to
assimilating the information and ideas contained within its covers. This is not casual treatment. The
author assumes a working knowledge of Hebrew theology and cosmology, Kabbalah and, at least a
moderate familiarity with the relationship between Hebrew and Christian perceptions of the Kabbalah.
In other words, it is a work intended for a serious student and not a dabbler.
It will certainly repay the effort put into its study in the long term. If, on the other hand, you expect to
have one of those "Aha!" moments, you will likely be disappointed.
If you are interested in the mysticism which the Kabbalah embodies, this book (and the other three in
the series) belong on your book shelf. The cost is moderate and, given the unique perspectives the
author brings to the topic, should prove an incentive to adding these works to your collection. You may
not agree with all of Dr. Leet's conclusions, but I am sure your will find this work stimulating.
Did I learn a lot from this book? Probably not as much as I should have. Quite frankly, a lot of it was
beyond my comprehension at this point. That does not; however preclude the possibility that I may
have a sudden flash of insight at some future time.
As much as I found myself scratching my head my head, and scribbling notes for further exploration, I
have to give Dr. Leet credit for tackling a subject which has long needed a text which does it best to be
comprehensible to both the layman and the academic. I am sure that readers with more current
understanding of the sciences of linguistics, quantum physics, and music theory will extract a lot more
information than I was able to.
While I do not recommend this book to the casual reader, I do recommend it to the serious student of
the Kabbalah, as well as those interested in exploring Judaica in some depth. Be prepared to work for
your knowledge. If you do so, you will find your understanding (and desire for more exploration)
expanded.
