About the Book
Book of Creativity is my new English translation of Sefer Yesira, an ancient Hebrew mystical text that first promulgated the concept of combinatorial creativity. My book also includes English translations of the earliest Hebrew Golem letter magic recipes.
Sefer Yesira is a foundational text of Jewish Kabbalah, its teachings constituting the esoteric core of Judaism.
Sefer Yesira's cryptic text weaves together the 22 elemental Hebrew letters and 10 enumerations whose combinations and permutations purport to enmesh the bedrock and spring of all worlds, experiences and languages.
Sefer Yesira proclaims to us that letters and numbers are the natural tools used by God to bring creation into existence.
Sefer Yesira is important not just for having a creative effect on major historical figures, but also for a seminal influence germinating the seeds of modern logic and computing into the looming Golem of AI today.
Some say that merely reading Sefer Yesira has the talismanic effect of enhancing the creativity of those that read it. I pray that my translation of Sefer Yesira may serve as an inspiring prompt for your own creativity!
