So which Kabbalah books are the best for the modern person to read? Any books containing the writings of the last great Kabbalist, Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), who lived in the 20th century. Yet, it is recommended that a beginning student first read books interpreting Baal HaSulam’s writings, to ease one's way into those monumental works.

Such books provide the inlet to the concepts used in Baal HaSulam’s writings, and most importantly, guide one in reading them. In fact, proper reading of Kabbalah books is not an intellectual matter; one does not need to understand what he reads. The key inside Baal HaSulam’s writings is found through one’s desire to feel the reality that they are "trying to show him."

What does this mean? If one simply reads the book with an open mind and heart, letting it guide him, and allowing the new sensations to pass through him, then one is reading a Kabbalah book correctly. So the formula to revealing the Creator in the modern age is very simple: read the right kind of book, and read it the right way.
