An overview of Lurianic Kabbalah
This article is an edited transcript of an in-depth lesson on Lurianic Kabbalah, given at the "Down the Rabbi Whole" online study hall to mark the anniversary of the Ari's passing. The text offers a broad overview and a psychological-consciousness perspective on the foundational stations of Lurianic Kabbalah: from the supreme delights (*sha'ashu'im*) and the contraction (*tzimtzum*), through the shattering of the vessels (*shevirat ha-kelim*) and trauma, to the realm of rectification (*tiqqun*) and redemption as the awakening of collective consciousness.
