REACHING THE PROMISED LAND is an inspiring compilation that touches on a wide range of topics, ranging from psychology and history, spiritual guidance and meditation, to linguistics, textual analysis and mysticism. REACHING THE PROMISED LAND is not only about realizing the wonderful vision that is divinely destined for the Land of Israel, but also the consequent transformation of the whole world that will surely appear, when the people of all the nations will get to know God, and global peace and harmony will reign. REACHING THE PROMISED LAND also describes the promised state of transcendental joy and spiritual awareness that every person with faith, kindness and selflessness can attain, on discovering for themselves experientially that they are truly made in the image of God. REACHING THE PROMISED LAND addresses the dissatisfaction and anxiety that many of us experience in our lives, and explains how these are merely symptoms of our underlying desire for redemption, and manifestations of our attempts to uncover the true hidden treasure waiting to be found within each of us. REACHING THE PROMISED LAND traces the devoted spiritual path that the Hebrew prophets and all exalted souls have taken; one of deep introspection and meditation on the Divine that is manifest in all creation and also in our inner being - how they reached the promised land of self-realization, and how, with faith and dedication, you can too.
