The importance of meditation can never be over emphasised in human life. Whether one is religious or not, everyone in some form engages in the art of meditation. Almost every religion in the world maintains this practice as an integral part of their religious practices. While the methods of meditation practices may vary from each group, the underlying commonality is that meditation is a huge cornerstone in humanity. However amongst some christians this practice has lost meaning and significance, it is regarded as an unimportant aspect of the christian experience. Success and prosperity has strong links to biblical meditation:
A highly radical interpretation of the Bible demonstrating the methods of meditation used by the Prophets to attain their unique states of consciousness. First English translation from ancient unpublished manuscripts, with commentary.
A guide to how meditations and principles from the Kabbalah can be used to profoundly renew spiritual practice. Renewing the Covenant discusses the importance of dream interpretation in ancient Jerusalem and how it is the key to the achievement of one's personal and spirtual goals.

The aim of this book is to study certain meditation methods followed not only by religious traditions or metaphysical movements that are still alive nowadays like Advaita Vedanta, Kabbalah (within the Jewish tradition), Christianity or Islam (particularly Sufism), but also practiced by other currents or schools that, even though already gone, significantly influenced the West. This is the case of Neoplatonism or Stoicism, whose influence was felt by ancient and medieval Christianity, or Greco-Egyptian Hermetism, which played an important role in the European cultural Renaissance from the 15th century on. A special consideration has been given to Christian tradition, introducing some of the most representative authors of recollection and their meditation methods. Este libro tiene por finalidad el estudio de ciertos métodos de meditación seguidos no solo por tradiciones religiosas o movimientos metafísicos que continúan vivos actualmente como el vedanta advaita, la cábala (en la tradición judía), el cristianismo o el islám (particularmente el sufismo), sino practicados también por otras corrientes o escuelas que, aunque ya desaparecidas, influyeron significativamente en Occidente. Es el caso del neoplatonismo o del estoicismo cuya influencia se dejó sentir en el cristianismo antiguo y medieval, o del hermetismo greco-egipcio que tuvo un papel destacado en el Renacimiento cultural europeo a partir del siglo XV. Especial consideración se ha dado a la tradición cristiana mostrando algunos de los autores más representativos del recogimiento y de su método de meditación.
