The Zohar, tom 9

The Zohar, tom 9 - Shimon bar Yochai Rav

Tom IV - Chayei Sarah Toldot

With The Sulam Commentary by Rav Yehuda Ashlag From The Book of Avraham with The Sulam Commentary by Rav Yehuda Ashlag The Zohar is a collection of commentaries on the Torah, intended to guide people who have already achieved high spiritual degrees to the root (origin) of their souls. The Zohar contains all the spiritual states that people experience as their souls evolve. At the end of the process, the souls achieve what Kabbalah refers to as "the end of correction," the highest level of spiritual wholeness. To those without spiritual attainment, The Zohar reads like a collection of allegories and legends that can be interpreted and perceived differently by each individual. But to those with spiritual attainment, i.e. Kabbalists, The Zohar is a practical guide to inner actions that one performs in order to discover deeper, higher states of perception and sensation. Similar to other holy books, the Zohar connects us directly to the consciousness of a spiritual giant; a righteous soul. In the case of the Zohar, that righteous soul is Rav Shimon bar Yochai—the author of the Zohar.
