EL LIBRO DEL DESEO - SEFER HAJESHEK

The Sefer HaJeshek, written by Abraham Abulafia in the 13th century, is one of the most unique and fascinating texts in the Kabbalistic tradition. Conceived as a mystical treatise on desire — jeshek — this book delves into the secrets of creation, the power of Hebrew letters, and the inner dynamics that unite human beings with the divine. Halfway between poetry, revelation, and spiritual guidance, Abulafia leads us on a journey where thought, will, and desire merge into a single movement. Letters become living instruments, capable of opening doors to higher understanding, while the soul rises in search of union with the source of all wisdom. This text not only expounds profound doctrines of prophetic Kabbalah, but also invites practice: to exercise the mind and heart in the art of tzeruf, the combination of letters and sacred names, in order to access higher planes of consciousness. This edition recovers a text that for centuries remained hidden and reserved for very restricted circles, offering the contemporary reader an essential work for understanding Hebrew mysticism and its vision of language as a creative force.
