Summary of Daniel C. Matt's The Essential Kabbalah

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The essence of divinity is found in every single thing. Nothing can live by anything else. It enlivens them, and its existence exists in each existent. Do not attribute duality to God.

#2 Before anything existed, there was only Ein Sof. Ein Sof was all that existed. Similarly, after it brought into existence what exists, there is nothing but it. Nothing exists outside of its power.

#3 God is one without two, inestimable. Genuine divine existence engenders the existence of all of creation. The inner essences secretly constitute a chain linking everything from the highest to the lowest, extending from the upper pool to the edge of the universe.

#4 We all emerge from Ein Sof and are included in it. We live through its dissemination. It is the perpetuation of existence. The fact that we sustain ourselves on vegetation and animal life does not mean that we are nourished on something outside of it.
