A guided meditation by Rabbi David A. Cooper:

 Some years ago I found the following at Rabbi David Cooper's web site,  http://rabbidavidcooper.com/  , in the form of a free mp3. I believe it was then called The Throne of God. I cannot find it there anymore, and not much is free anymore, but I cannot emphasize enough the importance of reading and rereading and reading several times more Cooper's book GOD IS A VERB and following this course of meditative Kabbalah. God is one, and God is a verb, and we are Its action. The following is a good ILLUSTRATION of relationships within the reality we share:

"The Jewish mystics call nature by the name Zel Shaddai. Zel means "shadow," and Shaddai is one of the many names of God. So the Jewish mystics call nature "The Shadow of God." And it is taught in the oral tradition that in the heavenly throne there is a curtain that hangs before God, or before the Infinite Light, and woven into this curtain are all of the events of the past, all of the events of the future, everything that has ever or will ever happen . . . and every soul that exists in the universe is woven into this curtain. (This is just a basic Midrashic tradition.)

Imagine you are an observer in the heavenly throne, and, standing to the side, you can note a very bright light shining through a curtain. There is an image woven into the curtain, and so on the other side of the curtain from the light a shadow is cast on a wall. It's the shadow of a person. Notice that if the light moves, the shadow moves. Notice that if the light is still, but if the curtain is moving, the shadow still moves. Now imagine this is a big theater, and both the light and the curtain move around a sphere so that the "wall" - the sphere - in the center takes up a form that is three dimensional. The shadow becomes three dimensional as the curtain and the light go around it. This is the basic image of nature: everything is a shadow, a three dimensional shadow. Its substance is given by the light passing through a form, an archetype.

Notice what happens when one aspect of the light that is behind the curtain is transported to the center of the shadow: Let the shadow be of some substance so that it doesn't just disappear when the light goes through its center, but that it now casts a shadow back on the curtain. Let yourself now sit with the feeling of that light shining within you. This image, that there is a light shining through a curtain of archetypes creating the universe, and you will notice that the universe is dependent upon the light shining, which means that each moment is a moment of creation. Most of creation receives its form from this light. The aspect of creation that has consciousness and awareness, in the sense that we know it as human beings, also has a light within itself, a spark of the divine within itself. It casts its light back on the veil, on the curtain, and it places new images continuously. And this curtain is the unfolding of creation from moment to moment, constantly in process, dependent as much on our consciousness as on the original light. No one stands alone. Everything in the universe is connected; we always live in full partnership with the source of all creation.
