Yehuda October 23, 2022

I am reading through a number of sefers by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

The one in particular I am revisiting is Meditation and the Bible. I am an engineer and I like to see organized, visual representations. Is there a source (website, or do you have access) of diagrammatic representation of the 4 universes, melachim as one ascends etc. in the prophetic experience (merkava). Also, interested in the klippah etc. a representation diagrammatically. Reply
