Immortality: The Rise and Fall of the Angel of Death

by Rav Berg

In this revolutionary, thought-provoking book, Kabbalist Rav Berg dares to take on a subject long considered taboo by medical and scientific establishments -- immortality. And that the ultimate getting of Kabbalah is really getting eternal life. Some of the greatest Kabbalists never died. Drawing upon the personal story of his own journey towards spiritual enlightenment, Rav Berg shares compelling kabbalistic insights into the origins of death, and the spiritual tools necessary for its final disappearance from the world. This is the remarkable story about how one of the greatest Kabbalists of this century got Kabbalah. This deeply felt memoir illuminates Rav Berg's relationship with his master, the great Kabbalist Rabbi Yehuda Brandwein, as well as the growth of The Kabbalah Centre, the world's largest organisation dedicated to spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah.

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fantastic kabbalah book.... a radical concept to say the least.... gives answers to questions and creates some more questions. Requires an open mind to read and grasp the concepts. Not really recommended to someone unfamiliar with kabbalah or mind over matter concepts and spirituality in general. Eye opening at times. Memorable. But definitely took me for a loop a few times. And was difficult to process more than once. Regardless, I'm glad I read it and finished it. I'll probably come back to it again

The book was intriguing. There was hard, practical information to take from it-such as awareness and consciousness can lead to a longer, healthier, life.

But many questions still remain. If consciousness can defeat death, why do dogs, monkeys, elephants, plants, etc die? I don't believe any of these creatures have ego.

That said, besides the fact that this book was meant to be read before the year 2000, it is an interesting and worthwhile read.
