Expansions of Knowledge by Chaim Vital is the companion book of Explanation of Knowledge (Derush Ha-Daat), which contains the recording of the teachings by the Arizal concerning his overall system. Expansions of Knowledge further details the Lurianic system and includes over 30 additional unique drawings. The uniqueness of this book relies in the explanations about writing the Name of YHWH and Holy Names in general. The Shofer (scribe) as well as the practicing kabbalist must know the deep significance behind the mere act of writing, for they need to channel the proper "light" to make the word alive. Holy Names do not work if they are not animated by the proper Intentions and Prayers. Indeed, they can cause harm, if used improperly.
This precious book is the recording of the teachings by the Arizal concerning his overall system. It gives the key to understand what Partzufim are and ultimately establishes the link between ancient and modern Kabbalah. The book is unique in its gender as is illustrates with over 140 drawings both in English and Hebrew the entire Lurianic system.
According to Kabbalah, matter does not exist by itself. As soon the letters of the Holy Alphabet are pronounced by the mouth of God, they materialize and become the actual object representing that word. The other languages are just mere conventions. Among the many versions available, this edition with Lurianic notes is the most complete nowadays.
