<p>Contemplation is a working method for expanding the mind and deepening one's understanding of Existence. The kabbalistic diagrams called the Tree of Life and Jacob's Ladder set out a metaphysical framework for examining a wide range of themes in this book. As well as considering macrocosmic aspects of the universe we focus on the crucial role of Self-development in the evolution of humanity in terms of religion psychology astrology and schools of the soul.</p><p><em>Kabbalistic Contemplations </em>contains short chapters together with a diagram or an image to illustrate each topic. As such these are designed to be used as a basis for further contemplation in both individual and group work.</p>
