The Elevation of Vision: The Book of Ezekiel as a Guidebook of Contemplative Kabbalah

Unlock the Ancient Meditative System Hidden in the Book of Ezekiel

The vision of the Merkavah (Chariot) in the Book of Ezekiel is the classic paradigm of contemplative ascent. According to the early kabbalists, the description of the Merkavah contains the keys needed to make the ascent. Today, new discoveries about the composition of the Book of Ezekiel have revealed an ancient meditative system coded into the text.

The Elevation of Vision explores how the Book of Ezekiel preserves the teachings about the contemplative kabbalistic ascent through the Merkavah which formed the inner basis of the service in the Temple.

It shows us how to maintain this inner service even in exile. It also shows us how to find holy sparks in our lives, and connect everything to its supernal source, as was done in the Temple.

The theme of spiritual light is made earthly and practical, with guided exercises, diagrams and explanatory notes. Between vivid descriptions of spiritual experiences and moments of contemplation drawn from kabbalistic texts, you’ll learn how to experience light.

By applying the meditative system found in the Book of Ezekiel and in other texts of kabbalah, we’ll chart a path through the higher worlds. We’ll elevate our vision to the highest of heights, where the finite meets the Infinite.
