Product Description

In the Key to the True Kabbalah, Franz Bardon demonstrates that mysticism of letters and numbers -- the true Kabbalah -- is a universal teaching of great antiquity and depth. Throughout the ages, adepts of every time and place have achieved the highest levels of magical attainment through the understanding of sound, color, number and vibration as embodied in the Kabbalah. This book, the third in Bardon's remarkable texts of Hermetic magic, is nothing less than a practical guide to such attainment.

Using the common German alphabet, Bardon guides the reader through ever greater levels of Kabbalistic achievement. No other available text reveals as great a depth of Kabbalistic wisdom or provides the reader with as much practical training.

Though intended primarily as a working text for those who have completed Bardon's first and second volumes, Initiation into Hermetics and The Practice of Magical Evocation, the present work stands on its own, and even those without the requisite background in practical Hermetics will be fascinated by the author's intellectual journey through the mysticism of Tantric India, Tibet, the Hebrew Kabbalah, and the ancient sources of the Western magical tradition.

From the Publisher
In many writings of the freemasons and other secret societies, the lost key or the lost Word of God is much discussed. The rituals which were once practiced by these societies are now, for the most part, simply imitations, performed traditionally without any understanding of their deeper sense in relation to the cosmic laws. Therefore, the rituals which at one time were introduced and practiced by true initiates, are naturally quite ineffective today, since the key to their correct application has been lost.

Not even the most concealed, most secret libraries or secluded monasteries in the East, ashrams which are inaccessible to ordinary mortals, can pride themselves on possessing the true Kabbalah in one single script of such clear and distinct wording. After the reader peruses this book, even those who already have a good knowledge of the Kabbalah will concede that they have a good deal to catch up on before they can call themselves Kabbalists. Upon careful consideration, the reader will be convinced that it is worth his while to forego all other incomplete teachings and work faithfully in his own interests with the methods outlined in this text. It should also be mentioned that any description of these books is pale by comparison to the entire content which by far exceeds any description or review. Franz Bardon states that on earth, every human being has two teachers: first, himself, and secondly, destiny.

About the Author
Born on December 1, 1909, in the Czech Republic, Bardon is considered a leader in Hermetic literature, and destiny proved him to be one of the most remarkable magicians of the 20th century.

Though he maintained a normal life as an industrial mechanic and family man in the Czech town of Opava, his other, occult life was full of attainment and tragedy.

During the last years of WWII, Bardon spent 3-1/2 months in a concentration camp and was subjected to various tortures because he would not aid the powers that be in winning the war with his occult powers. After the war, he dedicated himself to writing of his now famous books on Hermetics.

His work was interrupted forever in 1958 when he was falsely incarcerated for not paying taxes on alcohol used in the preparation of his spagyric remedies.

On July 10, 1958 Bardon died in a prison hospital in Brno, Czechoslovakia.

Cosmic Language 101
The 'Key To The True Kabbalah' is a logical progression of Bardon's earlier book, 'Initiation Into Hermetics', which should be read and practiced first. The 'Key To The True Kabbalah' intoduces the reader to the 'Cosmic Language' and a very thorough process of manifestation. Although the writting is sometimes confusing and wordy, it does communicate these ideas if the reader is willing to make a committed effort with mind, body, and soul. The idea of this book is easy to say but hard to master: The Universe is based on the principle of Cause and Effect. One simply wishes with on a particular plane a letter's sound, color, element and meaning. We then create the desired effect on the intended mental, astral or physical plane. With noble intentions, strong intent and much practice one becomes a 'Creator' on a Cosmic Level. The possibilities are limitless for someone who consciously goes beyond a 'mental' understanding.

The Complete Teachings of The True Kabbalah
"The Key to the True Kabbalah" contains the practice and the theory of kabbalistic knowledge. The information this book contains, I could not find in any other books on this subject. Even from a philosophical point of view this book is a good read, and discloses many up-to-now secrets. I highly recommend Franz Bardon, "Questions and Answers" and "Alchemy Unveiled", by Helmond.

Key to the True Kabbalah, the
Yet another excellent text by Franz Bardon. This book, taken together with his two other excellent textbooks, form a very strong core of study and practical exercises for the serious student of the Hermetic Sciences. Bardon is clear, concise, and has a good sense of humor. He also anticipates the important questions of the novice in an easy manner and never takes a condescending tone. This is not to say that he is an easy master to learn from. He insists that the student hold him/herself to a very high standard in every aspect of life, and the exercises given are deceptively simple, and very difficult to perfect. In fact they take a lifetime to do so. If you are looking for an easy system to rule the universe, this book is not for you. If, however, you are looking for a system to put you on the path to complete the Great Work, this book, taken in conjunction with Bardon's 'Initiation into Hermetics' and 'Introduction to Magical Evocation' will do just that... and the Path has it's own rewards.
