Dear reader If you have ever wondered about the mystery of life, even for a moment contemplated the meaning of existence, or dreamed of finding the elixir of immortality, hold tight to this book ; it is for you. The Secrets of the Eternal book reveals how to properly read the Pentateuch, how to break through the outer shells . the mundane actions of this world that the book seems to recount and discover what really stands behind it all.

5 Let's start by listing all five books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Those are the translated titles in English, while in the original Hebrew they are Beresheet (In the Beginning), Shemot (Names), Vayikra (And He Called), Bamidbar (In the Desert), Devarim (Words). When you pick up the book and start to read, little do you know that its content is encrypted. You read and regard the information as a collection of stories, occasionally stopping to wonder what all the fuss is about. The Pentateuch is the 7. The Secrets of the Eternal book foundation for all of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and cited continuously by sages, philosophers, writers, politicians.

6 But what is so special about it? Allow me to reassure you that if you aren't satisfied with regarding this book as a historical epic, there is nothing wrong with you. It is a sign that you're searching for the hidden meaning; and if you're really searching, you will invariably find it. You bombard knowing, authoritative persons with your questions, but they are unable to enlighten you. You read mountains of literature, but cannot seem to find any answers. You are searching for the code of this book , trying to unearth some secret door through which to sneak in and discover the inner workings of this code. For millennia, scholars have been trying fruitlessly to solve the mystery of this code.

7 Yet, they have been trying to solve it with reason, and this has been their downfall. You cannot crack this code with reason, so don't even bother trying. To reveal the secrets of the Pentateuch, you need only one tool desire. It is a magical word, and one that we'll be coming back to time and time again. So where do you begin if you've resolved to delve into the depths of life's foremost question? You open up the book and say to yourself: This is about me. Everything written here reveals my path into the innermost depths of my soul.. True, the trails have become winding over time. For as long as you can remember, you have only concerned yourself with the outside world: lamenting the chronic lack of money, job dissatisfaction, unrequited love, betrayal, bad food, and the fallibility of public transportation, while rejoicing 8.

8 A Necessary Foreword over purchases of a new house, a new car, new furniture, eating a good meal, watching a good movie And all things considered, this would be enough for me. And then something happened You found yourself increasingly beset with thoughts that all these pleasures were transient and vain. You couldn't resign yourself to the idea that the human being this phenomenal fusion of intellect and heart was born into this world only to gratify the body and disappear forever. All of a sudden, thoughts that life could go on forever began to permeate your mind. Where have they come from? It sounds too much like science fiction, but Could it be that your intuition is right?

9 It is. You can, in fact, live forever. These thoughts come to you from your deepest point. There, hidden deep inside you, is a place where eternity resides. It calls to you endlessly, explaining that all the rest is but empty husks. You didn't hear its voice until you were ready. It protected you from such profound contemplations, like a child who is given toy cars to play with, until time nurses it to maturity and seats the now grown person behind the wheel of a real car. The same is true for you. You were a full-grown child. For many years, even millennia, you've played with toy cars, . and then suddenly grew aware of the question inside of you: Is this really what I'm living for?

10 And that was it. The moment you acknowledged this question, you stopped being a child. 9. The Secrets of the Eternal book And now is when you truly need this book the veritable roadmap for those who ask themselves the questions about the meaning of life. It's a user's manual to opening the door into the spiritual world that exists within you, a world that is eternal, full of serenity and joy. This world is the source of light in your life. WHAT IS THE PENTATEUCH? As we've already mentioned, the first five books of the Bible are called The Torah, in Hebrew (from the word Horaa, which means Instruction, or from the word Ohr Light ). When it comes to advancing upward along the ray that had been sent down into the darkness of our world, the Light is your manual.
