This book presents important topics regarding the *more mystical trend of Kabbalah- the **ecstatic Kabbalah***. It includes the mystical union, the *world of imagination, and concentration as a spiritual technique*. The emphasis in the text is on the **interaction** between the "original" Spanish stage of **Kabbalah** and **Muslim mysticism** in the East, mainly in the **Galilee**. The influence of the **Kabbalistic-Sufic synthesis** on the later developments of **Jewish mysticism** is traced, thereby providing a more precise understanding of the history of Kabbalah as an interplay between the theosophical and **ecstatic mystical experiences**.
