Alan Watts: On Being God - Being in the Way Podcast Ep. 6 - Hosted by Mark Watts 

Let's expand on the interpretation of Tzimtzum, a concept in Kabbalah, in English, Greek, and Latin. English: Tzimtzum, in the context of Kabbalah, refers to the concept of divine contraction or concealment. It is the notion that in order for the created world to exist, God, who is infinite and all-encompassing, had to contract or limit His divine presence. This contraction created a space or void within which the created universe could come into being. Tzimtzum is seen as a necessary step in the process of creation, allowing for the existence of a separate reality while maintaining the connection to the divine source. Greek: In Greek, the term for Tzimtzum can be translated as "σύσταση" (sýstasi). It represents the idea of divine withdrawal or contraction, the act of the infinite divine essence drawing back in order to make space for the finite created realm. This withdrawal is seen as a necessary action to enable the existence of the physical world and the separation between the divine and the material. Latin: In Latin, the concept of Tzimtzum can be expressed as "contractio divina." This refers to the divine contraction or contraction of God's essence. The idea is that God, being infinite and all-encompassing, contracts or withdraws in order to create space for the manifestation of the created universe. This divine contraction is considered essential for the establishment of a separate realm of existence while maintaining a connection to the divine source. These interpretations in English, Greek, and Latin aim to capture the essence of the concept of Tzimtzum and its significance in Kabbalistic thought.

Well said my friend!!

A reflection on life itself.

The scientific version is not contraction but withdrawal ( bad translation by people with no actual experience. From the ancient wise men. The purpose of anyLifetime. ( Not for the egocentric phonies) . You are not the body and mind, you are Eternal Spirit Trapped in the body and mind, you have forgotten over many incarnations. 😮The Matrix is your own bio computer virtual reality brain machine that keeps you in the illusion (Maya) of being a physical Being in a physical world VIA the nervous system and the five senses ( the Fallen Angel and Original Sin or original Mistake METAPHORS) Meditation is the ancient secret practice of putting the body and mind to sleep but staying AWAKE and Alert inside until you experience yourself as Eternal Spirit again. If you remain in your True and Original state after meditation it is called Nirvana, 😇Samadhi, Cosmic Consciousness, Heaven within Luke 17 21, Prodigal Son, The Tao,😲 SELF-Realization, Obtaining the Golden Fleece in Greek Mythology, becoming a Demigod Awake as Eternal Spirit again by Buddha, Garden of Eden.🤔 The Holy Grail to Eternal Life (not a real cup,a literary image), the Eternal Inner Witness,the Practice of dying By Socrates etc all the same . "They can kill my body but they can't get me"- Socrates The Apology by Plato .🤔

I was at a talk given by the Dalai Lama to an audience of neuroscientists (a passion of his). He is exactly like that. He takes himself seriously only to the extent necessary to fulfill his social and religious duties, but as an individual, he's hilarious and self-deprecating. A very fun speaker, especially during Q&A!

Me too. 😀

Ditto ^.* (a daily dose of AW is my way of life past few years)

loved him❤

Hello, so do I!!! 😂❤👍🏽🫂🥳😂😂😂 He gives such intelligent Energy& tells me what I've always thought: THAT WE'RE ALL, ONE. UNITED. Stars & Planets and just Everybody!❤

Well said and I haven’t listened to it yet. I’m excited to listen because of your comment. Intelligent and interesting.

Very eloquently put 👌🏽✔️🤝🏽

Here here!

He is a good Taoist, he indeed did have a great command for words

Ewe huemans should be aware...

Thanks❤

First they don't want anyone know about Ukraine, me and Vatican. If they win China , they will attack Russia after Russia is lost. Suddenly, they attack India by the tanks same as Russia attack Ukraine while Ukraine didn't repair on Feb 2022 and then they will attack Japan, Viet Nam, Korea, Taiwan , Middle East and Africa. Because We don't have the paper work about the win but the paperwork just say we corporate with them . If they are serious . They must tell Taiwan, Philippines, Korea and Japan stop fighting. The reason they don't say because it is a best chance to attack those countries due to low weapons. Anyway, I have a question to Taiwan. Do you have a contract with them that Taiwan will take over China or China is belong to them either half of the land??,,?,??? Because their tanks will enter into the India .Another word, their army is on our land. Lastly; after they United all nations. They will announce to the public about the Vatican But we already forgot the bad deed of Vatican by that time same as Zeleski will claim himself Jesus. The bad thing to us , we might become their slaves because we don't have any one help us. Do you remember the Black slaves in the History.??

I and the Father are one

I don’t think he did I think you’re a liar which I find extremely offensive and oppressive to people that were genuinely effected by his work. Please remove your comment please

Yes, but It could also be here on earth externally if we merely followed the basic tenants of the 10 commandments and the Golden rule. It's really that simple.

What a great teacher he is. There is only Here and Now :)

ITS A STORY ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! The story of David and Goliath, as depicted in the Bible, is often interpreted as a metaphorical battle between good and evil, with David representing the underdog ANTI HERO... HUMANITY NOT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE...fighting against a formidable opponent. When exploring this story through a Kabbalistic perspective and incorporating Neville Goddard's teachings, we can delve into a deeper understanding of its spiritual significance. In Kabbalah, the concept of God is often portrayed as an infinite and transcendent force, encompassing all of creation. The false gods mentioned in this context refer to any limited or distorted beliefs or concepts that humans may idolize or worship instead of recognizing the true divine essence within themselves and all of creation. These false gods can take various forms, such as material possessions, ego-driven desires, or societal constructs that promote separation and illusion. David, in this interpretation, symbolizes the Christ consciousness or the divine essence within every individual. He represents the recognition of one's inherent divinity and the willingness to align with and express that divinity in the world. Goliath, on the other hand, represents the false gods or illusions that obstruct the realization of one's true spiritual nature. Neville Goddard, a prominent teacher of New Thought philosophy, emphasized the power of imagination and the creative capacity of the human mind. According to his teachings, our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality, and by consciously directing our thoughts towards the realization of our desires, we can manifest them in our lives. In the context of David and Goliath, Neville Goddard's teachings can be seen as a reminder of the transformative power of our inner consciousness. David's victory over Goliath can be understood as the triumph of divine consciousness over the illusions of the world. By aligning with the truth of their divine nature and using the power of imagination, individuals can overcome their personal Goliaths, the false gods that inhibit their spiritual growth and fulfillment. This interpretation suggests that the battle between David and Goliath is not an external conflict between two individuals, but an internal struggle within each person's consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and challenging the false gods or limiting beliefs that hinder one's spiritual evolution and the realization of their true potential. In summary, when examining the story of David and Goliath through a Kabbalistic lens and incorporating Neville Goddard's teachings, we can perceive it as a metaphorical representation of the eternal battle between the Christ consciousness within us and the false gods or illusions that separate us from our divine nature. By cultivating a deep understanding of our inherent divinity and harnessing the power of our thoughts and imagination, we can transcend limitations and manifest a life aligned with our true spiritual essence.

I wonder if he had investigated the Baha'i Faith? He is so knowledgeable about other Eastern Religions, yet np mention of Baha'i. Read his books in my youth.

It’s not esoteric really. We’ve got close to a billion people

Precisely, especially considering they are also you. Love thyself and love thy neighbor 😉😇

@@daltonwoodard7658 as within so without , touche 🧡

yes, it is a game called POWER. it’s an illusion, just like everything else; but that’s the point: we got bored, fell asleep and then forgot that it’s not real. like in a really good movie or play. that’s why history seems to repeat itself, or rhyme. we forgot - we already played that game! oh, let’s do it again anyway. the game of POWER comes out of forgetting who we really are.

@@kensurrency2564 Really well said.
