5.0 out of 5 stars Meditation and The Kabbalah, Jul 21 2007

By	Andre Lawrence (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I think that the late Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan was one of the most brilliant minds of the past century, certainly he was one of the top spiritual minds the world ever produced.

Meditation and Kabbalah is the second book he wrote on the subject of meditation-- behind Meditation and The Bible and in front of Jewish Meditation: A Practical Guide. First of all, Meditation as a subject is extremely vital, that is the basic (generic?) form. This is where is his other two books come in. However, meditating on kabbalistic formulas is not child's play and can be potentially dangerous if one is not aware of many spiritual realities. There is of course, this pop phenomena of making the kabbalah available to the mass population. This is not what Rabbi Kaplan would have agreed to. In fact, he explicitly states in his other books that advance meditation should only be practiced by experienced meditators and only with advanced guides to lead one back to the natural reality.
I've owned this book for five years and use it for, primarily, academic research. Please consult legitimate authorities in this field-- and not new-aged gurus-- before making this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure and very complex, Feb 19 2004

By A Customer

Areyh Kaplan is the single most athoritative writer on the Kabbalah today. Although I must include Zev ben Shimon Halevi in that pantheon. Both of these authors bring much need light onto a subject that is now very "chic." Not so Kaplan, a true scholar. But it is not for beginners. Althought I must say that the knowledge in the Kabbalah is not for beginners, period. There was a reason that both the Cordoverian and Lurianic schools insisted that the study of the Kabbalah should be started at the age of 40. And this was centuries ago when life expectancy was much less than it is today. I must warn you that this very dense and speaks directly to the "real" Kabbalah, and not all of the western appropriated magicians of the turn of the century. If you are sincere in studying Kabbalah and are willing to put in the time and effort, this is a must!

4.0 out of 5 stars A crucial study of meditation, Dec 19 2001

By	A. J. Valasek (Clemmons, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good book for those that are competent in the basic terminology of Kabbalah. If you're not, you will struggle with this text. This book gives the reader a very broad appreciation for the art of meditation through a broad compilation of the various Kabbalistic literature that is unaccesible to most people and nearly impossible to taste if your language is only English. This book covers all of the major schools and their most noticeable differences and provides enough "meat" to contemplate the various methods of meditation themselves. This book is not an expositon on the Bible, but it is biblicaly based although not readily apparent. If you're looking for your first book on meditation, don't start here, this isn't a beginners text. Instead try Kaplan's other book, "Jewish Meditation." However, if you're ready to take a deeper look and wan't to gain a broader perspective on the various methods, this is an excellent text.

"An exciting masterpiece. So rationally writen and explicitly put that it leaves one flabbergasted for life. By far a work of a wizard."

I thoguth the title was misleading - I was expecting this book to actually be about meditation. It is more like a research reference on the subject. Read more
