Abulafia, Kabbalah is not primarily a form of gnosis or
theosophy. In effect, his view has nothing in common with the
Sephirotic Kabbalah, whose object is the penetration of the structure
of Divine being and the processes 6ccurring therein. With the help
of his profound erudition, Moshe Idel has devoted patient and
exhaustive study to the analysis of the extant material from the
voluminous Abulafian corpus. He concludes that the mystical
technique, experiences and doctrines of this author are focused upon
the human being and his upward progress along the path leading to
prophetic-mystical ecstasy.
