Using the analogy of the Tree of Life as a model of the universe, Halevi examines Adam, the first man, and takes us up from the earthly kingdom of the body through the worlds of soul and spirit to the crown of heaven. In modern terms, Halevi speaks of the anatomy of the psyche for the consciousness seeking contemporary reader.

This book is about a spiritual view of human beings as seen from the ancient, medieval and modern Kabbalistic viewpoints. It takes into account the body and soul as it relates to the classical Sefriotic Tree of Life diagram and the Jacob's Ladder interpretation of the four worlds that make up the universe. It also explores the theme of personal evolution up through the realm of the Spirit to the Divine. The uniqueness of this work is that it brings together psychology and a traditional Kabbalistic understanding of the mind.
