This book of prophetic Kabbalah teaches how to create the “external” and “internal” environment for successfully receiving the “Spirit of Propechy”. It presents a clear, precise and revolutionary method for the one who feels the call but has gotten lost along the way and failed to reach the state of enlightenment.

In times of need, the authorities of Israel consulted an Oracle (Goral) to learn the will of Ha-Shem (God) and to receive answers to their questions. Conceived by Ahitophel, special adviser of King David, the Goraloth elicit the intercession of 117 Angels in orter to receive an answer directly from God concerning matters which we take at heart. The version that we introduce is with the comments of Chaim Vital.

Ktavim Chadashim contains many unpublished works by Chaim Vital, the foremost disciple of the Ari (Isaac Luria). Here, for the first time, we publish two main sections in English, which are the commentary on Brit Menucha (Covenant of Rest), and the secret fourth part of Shaarei Kedusha (Gates of Holiness). The commentary on Brit Menucha deals with Kabbalah Ma'asit (Practical Kabbalah). It is much more than a simple commentary, because it contains names of angels that are not found in the original Brit Menucha, along with precise instructions concerning their usage. The fourth part of Shaarei Kedusha deals with the practical ways to force Ruach Ha-Kodesh (Divine Inspiration) to descend upon us, thus allowing us to reach prophecy and the world to come. Vital even explains the 72 Names of God, with their angels.

The tree of life: this is the first gate from the huge work of Chayyim Vital, compiled from the teachings of the Ari (Isaac Luria).
