Sex, Torah and Kabbalah Preview Episode 1

How does reciting Tehillim operate? Is it the same thing as Tefillah? If Hashem knows about all the pain in the world, how does our saying tefillot and Tehillim change anything?

Tefillah and Tehillim: How They Heal the World

The Exodus story that is the theme of Pesach (Passover) is part of a much larger story. That story weaves its way through each person's life, as well as through all the macro patterns of the universe. It is the context of every story, every concept, and every life.

Keter, Adam Kadmon, and the Exodus Story

Evil doesn't just happen. It follows a pattern as someone develops into it.

How to Become Evil

Minyan: 10 soul (Self/Consciousness) fragments, with a specific set of blockages (today called "Men") operating in parallel, create a network of higher consciousness.

Minyan Tefillah: How It Works

Why did the Endless One decide to make room for others? It depends on the kind of "why" you mean...

Tzimtzum: Different Kinds of Why

Tefillah in a minyan isn't magic. Just being together in a group of 10 doesn't magically activate some kind of "heavenly result". There are mechanics to tefillah in a group, and we're being given an opportunity to learn that, and genuinely develop it. Let's not squander the opportunity.

Coronavirus: Minyan Virus, and Why Zoom Minyan Misses the Point

Adam Kadmon is the theme of existence, bleeding through every atom, every rock and tree, every animal, man, woman and child. The current coronavirus situation is an expression of that larger theme. Listen in on this class explaining the inner workings of this concept, and how the world's situation is designed.

Coronavirus: Hashem's Search for Himself (Adam Kadmon) (full lecture)

The Coronavirus shutdown is an example of a phenomenon called "Yissurin", meaning "things which move us in an unexpectedly different direction, forcing us to struggle to adapt". Can this wild situation be related to the process of Mashiach?

Coronavirus, Mashiach, and Second Level Thinking

Finishing off Chapter 9, we're wrapping up our discussion of the Keruvim and the mirroring connection between us and the Endless One, Hashem, reflected by the Keruvim.  Understanding this connection is the foundation for all of Torah living, mental, emotional, and physical.

Nefesh HaChaim Ep #18 Ch 9.2

In this episode, we continue to explore the Kruvim, the guardians of the Aron (and also the guardians of the Garden of Eden).  These statues reflect the pattern of mirroring we engage in with the Endless One, Hashem, as we operate within the consciousness network we call "the world".

Nefesh HaChaim Ep #17 Ch 9.1

Nefesh HaChaim Episode #16 Chapter 8.2

There were once two golden statues that physically represented the consciousness interface between people and Hashem, the Endless One.  They are called the Keruvim, and in Chapter 8, the Nefesh HaChaim analyzes their role in our consciousness expanding journey through time.

Nefesh HaChaim Episode #15 Chapter 8.1

There's a popular idea that in the Exodus story, Pharoah, the king of the Egyptians, lost his free will. This idea is a distortion of the truth, as while Pharoah did have a particular problem, this wasn't it. Hard hearts are real- and when we understand how they work, we uncover a profoundly deep layer of our being.

Pharoah's Hard Heart: Understanding Your Internal Emotional System

Big questions. Clear answers. Understand yourself, your life, and Hashem.
