The holy grail

de Philip S. Berg

"The Holy Grail is a mystical legend that dates back before Christianity. It is often described as a cup, dish, or bowl made of earth or wood. Some references describe it as the vessel of the Last Supper. Believed to have mystical and magical influences, the Holy Grail is widely known as possessing the ability to endow infinite knowledge and power upon the person who has earned the right to discover it through spiritual work. Kabbalists explain the terms vessel and earth are code words that refer to humanity's desire and ability to draw the radiance of the Creator into this physical world. The Zohar, which means "splendor," is believed to contain the concealed Light of the Creator that has been saved for a meritorious generation to reveal it. The Zohar itself explains that our generation in the Age of Aquarius will be able to bring about the end of pain and suffering, but we will need the Light of the Zohar to banish the darkness and usher in a time of peace and goodwill for all. Here in this unique short form, Rav Berg explains what the kabbalists have said for centuries -- the Zohar is the Holy Grail." --Front flap.
