Written by the late Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, this book explores the meditative methods of Kabbalah. In a clear English, the reader is exposed to a lucid presentation of the meditative methods, mantras, mandalas and other devices used, as well as a penetrating interpretation of their significance in the light of contemporary meditative research.
My understanding is that in the frum community there was some criticism of R Kaplan for publishing these Kabbalah books in English for the general population. Kabbalah was a secret sacred doctrine to be received only by qualified and stable scholars. Ramchal, for example had to bury his books and stop teaching Kabbalah altogether.
