For those not in the know, please check out Reb Zalman's Davening: a Guide to Meaningful Jewish Prayer. It is an excellent and heartfelt text on the inner meanings and personal nature of davening. This video really seems to illustrate a lot of where he is coming from in that book.
As one of John Sant'Ambrogio's most devoted fans, I couldn't be more thrilled to watch this captivating performance. His mastery of the cello never fails to leave me in awe, and this rendition is no exception. The depth of emotion he brings to every note is simply mesmerizing, transporting listeners to another realm entirely. Thank you, John, for sharing your extraordinary talent with the world. You continue to inspire and uplift us with your music. - John Good
You make a really important point to see how part of his "solution" is simply recreating patterns of harm ... i.e The creation of United States displaced indigenous (traditional) peoples. “We cannot solve a problem with the same mind (level of consciousness) that created it.” -AE When our focus is power, money and control... there will likely never be any common ground for authentic connection and true repair. He highlights this point...the “survival” aka “disconnected brain” cannot solve the problems it created!! Trauma will continually repeat the patterns of trauma and harm. We see this so clearly in our very own lives with friends, families and lovers. We keep meeting our own reflection and recreating "battlegrounds" wherever we go! We must see with our heart-mind. To do this... we first must connect fully& authentically with our very own bodies to begin healing. Only then can we connect authentically outward to receive others without unconscious triggering. What is needed right now is embodied meeting of our heart-minds. Together we are a field of formless awareness. We must be able to sit down and listen fully with curiosity & understanding to each other's experiences... with calm bodies, kind hearts, and clear minds. It is in this supreme connection that imagination will thrive and solutions will materialize in very organic, abundant and healing ways.
Before I did teshuvah I was a former daily user of cannabis, LSD, MDMA, and magic mushrooms. Use of psychedelics is witchcraft and sorcery; they open up your soul to demons. Torah prohibits the practice of witchcraft and sorcery. To encourage others to engage in witchcraft and sorcery is wicked.
Wasting seed is a sin that should be discouraged not encouraged. To encourage young people to waste seed on Shabbat is wicked. Wasting seed serves no purpose but is physically pleasurable, just like using drugs. Should we encourage young people to use drugs only on Shabbat? To sin is one thing, but to teach others to sin and to do it exclusively on Shabbat is another level of evil.
😢. Im so sceard and confused, about religion and the question, of whether you really are listening to the truth??? As the Christians and Jewish people and the Muslims, All are interested in saying that they have been holding the truth, so follow and share them with the news that they have??? How can All of these be true??😢. Is there any chance of getting truith, in All of them?? I only need to be following God is this enough?😢
Three statements: 1. This statement is true and all others are not. 2. The previous statement is true and this one is too. 3. The last two statements are true kind of, and this one is the ultimate truth. 1 is Torah 2 is the New Testament 3 is the Quran Without getting into the details and validity of each one
as a non-jewish noahide person I follow the word of G-d and there is no greys in his words there are blacks and whites. Masturbation is a wasting semens. just like murdering someone
Rabbi, I have used psychedelics for almost 50 years and I have shared many of the experiences, discoveries, and insights which you describe so well. I am glad to see that you are treated with at least some respect when you discuss these matters. All that I have ever received, when I have tried to discuss such matters, is abuse, neglect, and rejection.
What happened is he shoved a hot poker up the other guys butt. He wouldn't be walking if he had his rectum fried off. Its Soviets that tie people naked to benches and sodomize them. cvltnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/010.jpeg
This deeply meaningful yet short explanation is so succinctly clear. Indeed it will give me affirmation of that Felt-Sense that Rabbi Tirzah Firestone talks about! ❤️🌟
I've watched a few of these. He's so human and the interviewers are so robotic, almost like they are deliberately suppressing any human response or authentic interaction. "Just the facts, Ma''am" is the vibe that's set by these serious chroniclers. You can visibly detect his discomfort, each time he answers in such a warm, human way and the interlocutor lets all these dazzling moments fall flat, and just proceeds to pose the next question, in perfect monotone. Depressing, disappointing, shoddy work. But the man is miraculous, so, what can you do, but thank the foundation for this?
Psychedelics were common in Rabbi ZSS’s generation even though it was called the Greatest Generation. Most of those who pushed drugs in the 60s were from his generation. Drugs and alcohol consumption were also very common in the suburban sprawl that the Greatest Generation created and settled to combat the isolation and loneliness of suburbia particularly among housewives. But a psychedelic induced spiritual experience is a fake one. It comes from chemicals not from God. Therefore it may well be idolatry. Definitely not one of Rabbi ZSS’s better ideas.
Listening to this interview reveals what a truly enlightened person Reb Zalman was. Why this interviewer was on a mission to put him down, I don't know. But he answered all of her negatively oriented questions in a way that brought insight, expansion and positivity back into the space. Bless you, Reb Zalman, your legacy is great.
Im sorry this guy is a crank. I think he might still be doing LSD. The Jews were happy to live in peace with their Palestinian neighbors. Many of the Palestinians rose up to kill Jews, along with all the border states. The Palestinians now have to grow up and admit the Israeli govt. is in charge and work within that framework to better themselves.
How utterly disrespectful of you. You can voice your perspective WITHOUT being so disrespectful of this truly great, brilliant, light and love-filled individual.
