This book analyzes and describes the development and aspects of imagery techniques a primary
mode of mystical experience in twentieth century Jewish mysticism. These techniques in
contrast to linguistic techniques in medieval Kabbalah and in contrast to early Hasidism have
all the characteristics of a full screenplay a long and complicated plot woven together from
many scenes a kind of a feature film. Research on this development and nature of the imagery
experience is carried out through comparison to similar developments in philosophy and
psychology and is fruitfully contextualized within broader trends of western and eastern
mysticism.
