In this original study, Moshe Idel, an eminent scholar of Jewish
mysticism and thought, and the cognitive neuroscientist and
neurologist Shahar Arzy combine their considerable expertise to
explore the mysteries of the Kabbalah from an entirely new
perspective: that of the human brain. In lieu of the theological,
sociological, and psychoanalytic approaches that have generally
dominated the study of ecstatic mystical experiences, the authors
endeavor to decode the brain mechanisms underlying these phenomena.
Arzy and Idel analyze first-person descriptions to explore the
Kabbalistic techniques employed by most prominent Jewish mystics to
effect bodily reduplications, dissociations, and other phenomena,
and compare them with recent neurological observations and
modern-day laboratory experiments. The resultant study offers
readers a scientific, more brain-based understanding of how
ecstatic Kabbalists achieved their most precious mystical
experiences. The study further demonstrates how these Kabbalists
have long functioned as pioneering investigators of the human self.
