Description:The Torah outlook on superstition, occult practices, astrology, palmistry, sorcery, and others with a determination of which are permissible and which are forbidden by Halachah (Jewish law)."The meditation of the east should not be practiced because any spiritual experiences attained thereby are certain to come from the Side of Impurity, which makes itself readily available. Inspiration from the Side of Holiness comes only through working hard at perfecting one's character, studying Torah and fulfilling mitzvot — and even then it is extremely difficult to acquire. (See "Holiness Versus Impurity" in Chapter Five.) Yichudim and kavvanot are Kabbalistic meditations involving deep mystical secrets. They have nothing in common with the eastern forms of meditation. Kavvanot are meditations upon doing a mitzvah; they involve contemplating how the mitzvah is rectifying the higher worlds. In yichudim, contemplating Divine Names brings perfection from the Source back down into the worlds. The study and use of yichudim is restricted to Kabbalists.Nowadays, much is being written about ancient forms of Kabbalistic meditation. One should therefore be aware that, once the Arizal taught his methods of yichudim and kavvanot, all earlier methods became obsolete, and they can be harmful (Chida,Shem Ha-Gedolim, Ma'arechet Gedolim, erech 10, ot 353)." (P. 72) " ▪ Beleive that God alone knows the future and has power over everything. Do not consult astrologers about the future or believe anything they say, for God changes the orders of the heavens at Will. The closer we come to God, the more He will change nature for us (Ramban, ibid.)." (P.96) "Although Chizkiyah had correctly foreseen the future through Divine inspiration, the prophet told him that the future is in God's hands alone. What is seen through Divine inspiration does not necessarily have to come about, because God can change the already decreed reality."
