Glynda-Lee Hoffmann has been involved in extensive study of the Qabalah for over 25 years and is a leader in the field of Genesis mythology. She lives in Chico, California.
Joseph Chilton Pearce is the author of The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of the Spirit, The Biology of Transcendence, The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, Magical Child, and Evolution’s End. For the past 35 years, he has lectured and led workshops teaching about the changing needs of children and the development of human society. He lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
Using her lifelong study of the Qabalah and the Hebrew alphabet, Hoffmann reveals why it was permissible for Eve to eat the apple of knowledge that was forbidden to Adam. Eve's desire for integration, clarity, and transcendence is a goal Adam is biologically incapable of pursuing without her.
Glynda-Lee Hoffmann cracks open the early stories in the book of Genesis and invites us to enter them in a new way. She writes with flair and verve, and her goal is an ancient one: Know thyself and be whole.
