Each of these three Jewish covenants can be associated with a particular spiritual practice: the Patriarchal Covenant with Father Isaac's practice of meditation; The Sinai Covenant of Holiness with the observance of the Sabbath required in its Ten Commandments, and the Moab Covenant of Love, comprising the entire Mosaic Torah, with the practice of prayer instituted there. In \u003ci\u003eRenewing the Covenant\u003c\/i\u003e, Leonora Leet shows how this ladder of increasingly demanding and potent covenantal practices can enable one to ascend to ever higher levels of mystical Judaism. \u003cbr\u003eAt this threshold of a new millennium, increasing numbers of people are seeking a more direct connection with the Divine. To aid such a process, \u003ci\u003eRenewing the Covenant\u003c\/i\u003e provides new paths for entering the treasurehouse of Jewish spirituality and achieving higher consciousness, paths that can deepen the devotions of both nonobservant and traditionally observant Jews. This process of covenant renewal begins with effective kabbalistic techniques of meditation combining mantra with visualization, proceeds through the return to a reconstructed Sinai Sabbath, and arrives at the culminating practice of ritual prayer whose performance can fulfill the kabbalistic purpose of creation. When undertaken in the steps laid out by Dr. Leet, this process can help many to discover forms of spiritual practice precisely tailored for the modern world, as well as a new appreciation for the rich spiritual heritage of Judaism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599196168465,"sku":"GOR007820185","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374831341841,"sku":"CIN0892817135G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52994968781073,"sku":"GOR014686298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53359035842833,"sku":"CIN0892817135VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0892817135.jpg?v=1750704805"},{"product_id":"secret-doctrine-of-the-kabbalah-book-leonora-leet-9780892817245","title":"The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah","description":"A vast reconstruction of the knowledge of the ancient Jewish priest-scientists, with vital implications for contemporary spirituality and science.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Reveals an ancient science that used geometry, sound, and number to link the finite world of human experience with the infinite realm of the divine.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Uses teachings extending back thousands of years to explicate key concepts of quantum physics and quantum cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For centuries the Kabbalah has fascinated devotees of mysticism while its origins have remained obscure. Now, in her brilliant new work, Leonora Leet reveals that the Kabbalah was the product of a sophisticated, though largely forgotten, Hebraic sacred science that was the rival of any in Egypt or Greece. Not only does Leet reconstruct the secret teachings of the priest-scientists of the Hebrew temple, she also shows them to be the key to understanding both biblical and kabbalistic cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Unlike previous purely historical explorations of the Jewish esoteric tradition, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah\u003c\/i\u003e resurrects this ancient body of knowledge to reveal eternal truths that can have a profound and positive impact on contemporary spirituality. New experimental methods of practicing Hebraic sacred science are explored that explain as never before the meaning of the central cosmological diagram of the entire Western esoteric tradition--the kabbalistic Tree of Life. Leet shows that the Kabbalah and its central diagram enshrine a key to the purpose of the cosmos, a key that has vast implications for modern physics and cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In a final synthesis, she envisions a culmination in which the universe and its divine child, perfected humanity, achieve that unification of the finite and infinite which has ever been the secret doctrine of the Kabbalah.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49787699298577,"sku":"CIN0892817240G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50264867406097,"sku":"CIN0892817240A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50738312839441,"sku":"GOR003752901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51400661106961,"sku":"CIN0892817240VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0892817240.jpg?v=1750787825"},{"product_id":"kabbalah-of-the-soul-book-leonora-leet-9780892819577","title":"The Kabbalah of the Soul","description":"Reveals the transformative spiritual work by which the soul can reach ever higher dimensions of consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Relates the soul levels of the \u003ci\u003eZohar\u003c\/i\u003e to the various paths the soul may travel toward ultimate realization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Introduces a new meditative technique called the Transformative Moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout the history of the Jewish esoteric tradition, humankind has been understood to play a pivotal role in the perfection of the cosmos, uniting the finite with the infinite in the perfection of divine personality. Working from an original synthesis of the major kabbalistic traditions of cosmology derived from the Bible, the \u003ci\u003eZohar\u003c\/i\u003e, and the school of Isaac Luria, Leonora Leet has erected a new framework for understanding the mechanism of the transformative spiritual work that enables the human soul to reach increasingly higher dimensions of consciousness. This analysis extends the frontiers of Leet's prior works on the Kabbalah to provide a new illumination of human possibilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeet first considers the false temptations of worldly power and pleasure that lead to the fall of the soul and then the means of its redemption. She develops a powerful meditative technique called the Transformative Moment, whose workings are exemplified by Jacob and Joseph and that allow the individual to progress through all the higher levels of the soul, even possibly to attain the miraculous powers of the legendary spiritual masters. She further correlates the hierarchy of soul levels with Ezekiel's Throne vision to show the various paths the soul may travel toward self-realization: sex, love, power, knowledge, holiness, and unification. The first four paths relate to the four-faced living creatures (Chayot) of Ezekiel's Throne vision--the bull-ox, lion, eagle, and man. The final two paths correlate to the prophet and the envisioned man on the throne he recognizes to be his divine higher self, the knowledge that defines the secret doctrine of the whole of the Jewish mystical tradition culminating in the Kabbalah.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50000918315281,"sku":"GOR004755300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416607162641,"sku":"CIN089281957XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51552124010769,"sku":"GOR014326223","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694648983825,"sku":"CIN089281957XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52435996967185,"sku":"CIN089281957XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/089281957X.jpg?v=1750915532"},{"product_id":"universal-kabbalah-book-leonora-leet-9780892811892","title":"The Universal Kabbalah","description":"KABALAH This landmark work by an innovative modern kabbalist reveals the mathematical code at the base of the laws of all cosmic manifestation. The author presents a scientific model for kabbalistic cosmology and soul psychology derived from the kabbalistic diagram of the Tree of Life and her own Sabbath Star Diagram--a configuration of seven Star of David hexagrams. This geometric model begins with the four worlds of the classical Kabbalah and is then expanded to three higher enclosing worlds or levels of evolving consciousness. The Sabbath Star Diagram therefore accommodates both the emanationist cosmology of the earlier Zoharic Kabbalah and the future orientation of the later Kabbalah of Isaac Luria. The author takes us through the seven spiritual worlds of the Kabbalah and relates them to the conscious development of the soul. By showing the soul the way through these spiritual worlds, the author takes us to the final stage of the Kabbalah where the finite and infinite are united and the secret doctrine of the Kabbalah is revealed. Not only does this work offer a new, inclusive model for the Kabbalah but it also provides a basis for complexity theory, with its final extrapolation to infinity. The universality of this model is further shown by its application in the domains of physics, sociology, linguistics, and human history. This universal model encodes the laws of all cosmic manifestation in terms that are particularly coherent with the formulations of the Kabbalah, giving a mathematical basis to many aspects of this mystical tradition and providing a new synthesis of science and spirituality for our time that may well write a new chapter to the Kabbalah. LEONORA LET (1929-2004) received her Ph.D. from Yale University and was a professor of English at St. John's University who specialized in Renaissance literature, a field in which she published widely. She pursued her study of the Kabbalah and Jewish spirituality under noted kabbalist Aryeh Kaplan and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and found support for her work in scholars such as Stanley Krippner, Martin Samuel Cohen, Robert Zoller, Santosh Desai, John Anthony West, Joscelyn Godwin, and Robert Lawlor, with whom she studied Pythagorean geometry at Lindisfarne Institute. Leet's previous books on the Kabbalah are Renewing the Covenant, The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah, and The Kabbalah of the Soul.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50188698485009,"sku":"GOR009671882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50925455474961,"sku":"CIN0892811897G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51461193367825,"sku":"CIN0892811897VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51882582180113,"sku":"GOR010986082","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52817427300625,"sku":"CIN0892811897A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0892811897.jpg?v=1751234329"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-leonora-leet.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
