Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow Arthur Green 1. izdaja

What can Kabbalah teach us about our lives today?
What can it teach us about our future?

According to the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, Ehyeh,or ?I shall be,? is the deepest, most hidden name of God. Arthur Green, one of the most respected teachers of Jewish mysticism of his generation, uses this simple Hebrew word to unlock the spiritual meaning of Kabbalah for our lives.

When Moses experienced his great moment of call at the Burning Bush, he asked God, ?When people ask me, ?What is His name?? what should I say to them?? God answers with this mysterious phrase, ?I shall be what I shall be,? and says to Moses, ?Tell them that ?I shall be? sent you.?

God?s puzzling answer makes the conversation sound like a koan-dialogue between a Zen master and disciple?. Like the koan, the text here is reaching to some place beyond words, seeking to create a breakthrough in our consciousness. What is it trying to tell us?
