Leet has erected a new framework for understanding the mechanism of the transformative spiritual work that enables the human soul to reach higher dimensions of consciousness. She develops a technique called "the Transformative Moment," that allows the individual to progress through all the higher levels of the soul.
Throughout the history of the Jewish esoteric tradition, humankind has been understood to play a pivotal role in the perfection of the cosmos, uniting the finite with the infinite in the perfection of divine personality. Working from an original synthesis of the major kabbalistic traditions of the cosmology derived from the Bible, the Zohar, and the school of Isaac Luria, Leonora Leet has erected a new framework for understanding the mechanism of the transformative spiritual work that enables the human soul to reach increasingly higher dimensions of consciousness.
Leet first considers the false temptations of worldly power and pleasure that lead to the fall of the soul and then the means of its redemption. She develops a powerful meditative technique called the Transformative Moment, whose workings are exemplified by Jacob and Joseph. This technique allows the individual to progress through all the higher levels of the soul, even possibly to attain the miraculous powers of the spiritual masters.
She further correlates the hierarchy of soul levels with Ezekiel's Throne vision to show the various paths the soul may travel toward self-realisation: sex, love, power, knowledge, holiness, and unification.
