But spiritual liberation is the exact opposite, because it’s getting free from the need for things to be other than the way they are.

This is because the Divine Presence is not something other than your own attention, your own awareness, hearing these words right now.

Knowing this for yourse...

To create inner space, you need to first bring awareness to whatever mental noise and emotional pain are cluttering up that space; the awareness transmutes the clutter. And what is awareness? Is it not the consciousness of Reality Itself, waking up in the universe through your nervous system? In other words, God? Create an inner temple and heal emotional pain t...

There’s a huge difference between dabbling in different practices and actually making a home of your spiritual life in a solid tradition. And while dabbling might seem more freeing, there is a much deeper freedom that comes from giving up the seeking, and coming home to your essence within a committed community and practice. But to do that, you need to awaken t...

If you search yourself, you can look everywhere and never find yourself, because of course, it’s your “self” that’s doing the looking. And, when you do find yourself as the one who is looking, meaning, when you find out that you are the field of awareness within which this moment arises, there is a tremendous relief and unburdening – this is Jewish Meditation.

When God is tells Moses to free the Israelites from Egypt, Moses resists: “I can’t do it - send somebody else!” God responds, Anokhi Ehyeh – “I will be with you.” And a bit earlier, when Moses asks God’s Name, the reply is the same: Ehyeh – “I Will Be.” In other words, God is Being. God is not a being, not even the most supreme being, ...

Judaism recognizes the profound duality in being human: the ego vs. our Divine Essence. How do we overcome ego and choose our Divine Essence? To do that, you first have to become aware of your divine essence. But if you look for it, you won’t be able to find it. The trick is to look for the ego instead, because that which is aware of the ego, otherwise known as awareness, that awareness IS the divine essence. That’s why meditation ...

We tend to think of spirituality as just another thing on the to do list, like exercise or doing the laundry. And this CAN be helpful if it gets you to make meditation part of your routine. But when you’re actually meditating, you’re not just working on some aspect of your being, like your muscles or your mind; you’re getting to the root of the matter. When you clear away all the content of your life, what’s left? Who are you reall...

You can do this by "welcoming" everything arising in your experience, moment to moment. This is the practice of the Hebrew...
