The theme of this book is a kabbalistic study of a human being. The metaphysical models of the sefirotic Tree of Life and Jacob's Ladder of four interleaving Worlds are used to understand Adam, the archetype of humanity. A detailed description of how the physical, psychological, spiritual and Divine levels interact demonstrates the way of gradual progress from lower stages of development to full Self-realisation.

What emerges is an integrated view of the microcosm and the macrocosm as they reflect each other, that is, when I AM beholds I AM in the Mirror of Existence.
