Dwa cytaty, jeden o modlitwie, drugi o medytacji. Oba z tradycji kabalistycznej.
Baal Shem Tov napisał(a):In prayer, one must place all their power in the words. One must go from letter to letter until one forgets the physical world. Contemplate how the letters are binding together and interacting one with another. This causes great pleasures in the physical planes, and all the more so in the spiritual planes. This is the realm of Yetzirah. After this the letters rise to the realm of thought. [Here] one does not even hear what one is saying. This is the realm of Beriah. After this one ascends to the level of Ayn (nothingness) wherein which all physical senses are nullified. This is the realm of Atzilut, the attribute of [the sefirat] Hokhma (wisdom).
Chaim Vital napisał(a):It is well known that in all matters of meditation, one must be alone with nothing to disturb his concetration. One must meditate using his entire essence, actually separating his spirit from his body. He must become as though he has left the physical world entirely; he must be completely spirit. The more one separates from physical (conscious) world, the more his meditative ability will increase. If one should hear someone calling him, or just talking; anything that can disturb concentration, even a thought in his mind about the physical world - these will prevent his soul from clinging to that above. He will not be able to achieve anything. For a man cannot partake of the upper holiness, so long as he has even a hair's breadth of connection to the physical world. For this reason is prophecy or reception of the Holy Spirit called a trance, or dream in vision. Therefore, even if one is prepared and able to receive the Holy Spirit, if he does not condition himself to separate his soul from his body completely, the spirit cannot dwell on him.
