7.3 Appendix 3: A secular analogue to the ten sefirot

7.3.1 A model of reality in terms of the ten conditions.

7.3.2 Meditation and the model of reality.

7.3.0 Introduction

This appendix presents a system of modelling reality and of interacting with that model through meditation, which is similar to the Kabbalistic system of the ten sefirot [Hoffman, Edward; The Way of Splendour: Jewish Mysticism and Modern Psychology; Boulder, Shambhala, 1981, pages 53-54]. The modelling technique is based on the meditation system contained in this teach-yourself book, and in Beyond the personality: the beginner’s guide to enlightenment. These two books together provide a unified, coherent and integrated system of meditation, which leads the meditator step by step from ordinary awareness, with all its stress and anxiety, to the peace and serenity of enlightenment.
