Publisher's Synopsis
Sefer Ohr HaSechel (The Light of the Intellect)
By Rabbi Abraham Abulafia Translated and Introduced by Jason Bright
Unlock the gates of prophetic consciousness with one of the most profound and daring works of Kabbalistic mysticism ever written.
Sefer Ohr HaSechel (The Light of the Intellect) is the masterwork of Abraham Abulafia, the 13th-century Spanish kabbalist, prophet, and linguistic visionary. Hidden for centuries and long misunderstood, this book now appears in English translation with detailed commentary for the first time - opening its doors to seekers, scholars, and mystics alike.
Written as a spiritual manual for achieving union with the Divine Mind, Ohr HaSechel presents a complete system of meditative Kabbalah (Kabbalah Nevuit) - including:
Letter permutation techniques (tzerufim)
Breath and sound meditation on Divine Names
Exercises in imagination, visualization, and intellectual ascent
Prophetic theory grounded in Jewish metaphysics and Neoplatonic psychology
Esoteric teachings on the soul, angels, speech, and spiritual liberation
This is not speculative theology - it is a direct map to transcendence.
Whether you are a serious student of Kabbalah, a contemplative practitioner, or a lover of sacred texts, this edition offers:
The full translated text in clear and reverent English
A rich introduction that explains Abulafia's method and metaphysical worldview
Precise renderings of Abulafia's mystical diagrams and Divine Names
Commentary bridging Jewish tradition, philosophy, and spiritual practice
Let this luminous guide awaken your inner prophet and illuminate your intellect with the fire of Divine wisdom.
