The book " Sticky dvekut to God and the Jewish meditative ..." - " Remembering the eagle , carrying their children on the wings " is dedicated to several large themes. The first - a description and justification of the meditative as a phenomenon of the human psyche as well - and as a method of spiritual practice - based on the text of the Torah. The author shows the randomness of the use of meditation in different traditions and schools , and it is essential that it is bringing " Biblical material," the Torah makes the need for , or at least the desirability of meditative , obvious.
The second part deals with some aspects of thinking - namely the " semantic " way of thinking and its practical application.
The third section - this is the consideration that Lee is like the essence of subjectivity , in other words , we are talking about the process of studying the human "I" . Who is " I" ? It is essential that all this is happening in the "field" of Judaism , and without the involvement of special complicated , terminology or of any other device.
The fourth section , in my opinion , is , in a sense , the principal in this book , because it is dedicated to the review and some of the practical approaches to what is called Dvekut - prileplennost to Gd . We consider what this means in the Jewish tradition , and how to start it . It is worthwhile to note here that although all of the book, maybe with the exception of 5, devoted not only to the "theory ", but also very practical matters (ie methods) , all the same , with respect to Dvekut , because of the importance of the topic, the latter is especially important and, unfortunately , not very well known . So, it is a theory and some practical methods and approaches that can lead to Dvekut .
The fifth section the author calls " Etudes ." This kind of reflection and commentary on certain sections of the Torah. You should not judge them too harshly , but the author hopes that they will be without interest , not only for beginners, but also more " sophisticated " in the study of the Torah to people. In any case, if someone is a beginner - making perhaps the first steps in the Torah reader, reading these "Studies " will love the Torah more, the author will consider his mission accomplished .
At the end of the book as an appendix is a small work of the author of " Apprentice gatekeeper " devoted to the methods by which there is a chance to experience the Divine Presence , as well as the existence of souls and develop their love and commitment to God . Because it can help and be necessary to perform the exercises given in parts 1-4 , the author decided to place the " gatekeeper Apprentice " as an appendix to this book.
Of course, all presented in the book methods and approaches are only a small part of the possible range of approaches and methods that exist or are , in principle, could exist .
On the other hand, it should be noted that many of the discussed below is applicable not only to meditate and search Dvekut , but also to the development of love and other necessary senses ( and attitude ) to Gd , as well as to what belongs to prayer.
And , finally, in conclusion, I want to draw your attention in advance of the fact that the book uses various methods and writing , indicating the Gd and His names and epithets to him , blessed related . For several reasons, it seemed important to leave in the text of these different spelling - for example, in the same chapter or section in one place can be written Hashem , Hashem and in another , or in some places written about him by a hyphen with a break in the spelling of the word ( as here in summary above) and in the other - without a hyphen and rupture , etc. God forgive me , I hope for that the Almighty , and the reader , I hope, will not be judged severely. If I knew how to do and write better, I would have. In this connection I wish to once again draw attention to the fact that since the book uses names of Gd and refers to him , it should be treated very respectfully .
