Many people mistakenly understand meditation as an attempt to clear the mind and transcend the intellect. Really, meditation is meant to refine our intellect, so that we can infuse our day-to-day consciousness with Divine consciousness. Rabbi Ginsburgh presents a meditation that is a prime example of the purpose of Jewish meditation, which is to seek God, as King David says in Psalms, "with all my heart I seek You". The meditation presented in the book is based on the six constant commandments of the Torah. The meditation of Living in Divine Space essentially involves constructing a cube around oneself - a spiritual sanctuary - defined by these six commandments. The interior of the spiritual sanctuary thus built by meditation becomes the Divine Space where we can open our hearts to God in prayer. The object of prayer inside the meditation cube is to transform the meditative state into Divine living and to shift from a state of self-consciousness into one of Divine consciousness.

About the Author
Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh is one of the foremost expositors of Kabbalah and Chassidism in our time. He heads educational centers in Jerusalem, Hebron and other cities in Israel. He has written over 30 books in Hebrew and English. He lectures widely in Israel and around the world.
Rabbi Ginsburgh was born in Missouri, in 1944. With an MA in Mathematics, he moved to Israel in 1965. After studying in Yeshivas in New York and Jerusalem, he began teaching in 1970 and was soon well-known for his clarity in elucidating even the most abstract concepts in Jewish mysticism and relating them to contemporary issues in science, psychology, politics and the arts. Tying together a wide range of topics, his insights open a window into a higher dimension of reality and reveal the Divine unity underlying all of creation.
Rabbi Ginsburgh lives in Kfar Chabad, outside of Tel Aviv, with his family.
