Product Description
A vast reconstruction of the knowledge of the ancient Jewish priest-scientists, with vital implications for contemporary spirituality and science.

Reveals an ancient science that used geometry, sound, and number to link the finite world of human experience with the infinite realm of the divine.

Uses teachings extending back thousands of years to explicate key concepts of quantum physics and quantum cosmology.

For centuries the Kabbalah has fascinated devotees of mysticism while its origins have remained obscure. Now, in her brilliant new work, Leonora Leet reveals that the Kabbalah was the product of a sophisticated, though largely forgotten, Hebraic sacred science that was the rival of any in Egypt or Greece. Not only does Leet reconstruct the secret teachings of the priest-scientists of the Hebrew temple, she also shows them to be the key to understanding both biblical and kabbalistic cosmology.

Unlike previous purely historical explorations of the Jewish esoteric tradition, The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah resurrects this ancient body of knowledge to reveal eternal truths that can have a profound and positive impact on contemporary spirituality. New experimental methods of practicing Hebraic sacred science are explored that explain as never before the meaning of the central cosmological diagram of the entire Western esoteric tradition--the kabbalistic Tree of Life. Leet shows that the Kabbalah and its central diagram enshrine a key to the purpose of the cosmos, a key that has vast implications for modern physics and cosmology.

In a final synthesis, she envisions a culmination in which the universe and its divine child, perfected humanity, achieve that unification of the finite and infinite which has ever been the secret doctrine of the Kabbalah.Amazon.com Review
The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah is the second bookby Dr. Leonora Leet (with two more planned) to result from a projectbegun in 1978 with the accidental discovery of what she believes to bethe ultimate source of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life diagram. Her firsttext, Renewing theCovenant: A Kabbalistic Guide to Jewish Spirituality, shouldbe perused before attempting to decipher this brilliant but densetreatise. Not for the casual or merely curious reader, Leet's bookexpounds on such theoretical subjects as the Tetragrammaton, theCovenant of Number, the sacred science of sound and spiritualpractice, Kabbalistic geometry, and cosmic genesis. She goes on tosynthesize sacred science and Kabbalistic cosmology with quantumphysics. If your IQ is at least comparable to your body weight, andyour bent is unlocking the doors of the universe through geometry,this excruciatingly well-researched tome may get you in the frontgate. --P.

The Well is DEEP!
This book is magnificent.I have studies Kabbalah for some time and have finally gotten around to reading this book in particular.I was pleasantly surprised at the profound depth and consideration of Jewish sources with which the author has utilized.I have struggled with the geometric reasoning but this has given me an incentive to find a tutor in this area.Yes that right-I am going to brush up on my Geometry just because of this book.

An Alternative to "Pop" Kabbalah
Today there are a lot of superficial books dealing with Kabbalah;this is not one of them.This is not a book to read while drinking beer or listening to the stereo;the scholarship and erudition are impressive, even humbling.

It is staggering to think of the time, effort, meditation, and contemplation that must have gone into this book, and it will take a solid committment by the reader to give this book the slow reading that it deserves and demands.But don't be mislead - this book is not a dry academic treatise, but a labor of love, addressing modern concerns without pandering to them.Readers willing to approach this book with a slow hand will be well-rewarded. ...

Description:
Nature displays profound preference for certain specific ratios to design her life-forms. These are geometric relationships that are transcendent and originated from Sacred Geometry. The view that geometry had a ritual origin is a part of a wider view that civilisation itself had a ritual origin, and therefore the history of utilisation of Sacred Geometry by man goes back to many centuries ago. The Pythagorean tradition, and the Egyptian and Babylonian sciences from which it derived, and Persian mathematics, a part of which reflects a Pythagorean intellectuality, are based on the sacred conception of numbers and their symbolism. In the traditional world, geometry was inseparable from the other sciences of the Pythagorean Quadrivium, namely arithmetic (numbers), music and astronomy. Traditional geometry is related to the symbolic configurations of space. Geometric forms such as the triangle, square and various regular polygons, the spiral and the circle are seen in the traditional perspective to be, like traditional numbers, as aspects of the multiplicity of the Unity. Architecture itself has always had a sacred meaning to all traditional civilisations through millennia, by which means man has tried to provide for himself a manifestation of heavens. Persian architecture always emphasised on Beauty, and by means of Sacred Geometry Persians measured the proportions of heaven and reflected them in the dimensions of buildings on the earth. A comprehensive utilisation of proportions in Persian architecture, such as in the design of plans, elevations, geometric and architectural patterns, and mechanical and structural features, can be proved through geometrical analysis of Persian historical buildings. In this paper, the sacred conception of geometry and its symbolism in the Pythagorean tradition, and Sacred Geometry and proportions in natural life-forms will be explained. The use of the science of geometry in design of a number of Persian historical buildings will be presented. The geometric factors upon which the design of these buildings, from both architectural and structural viewpoints, is made will be discussed. ... Read more
