Thought of the Day

If we want to “become compassion” then it is vital that we strive to dwell in this consciousness every day, until it becomes an integral part of our being, like the pulse that beats in our heart and the blood that runs through our veins.

Weekly Teachings

Every Friday a teaching is posted on the site as a subject for study and contemplation during the coming week. Here are the three most recent teachings. To find additional teachings visit the Weekly Teaching Archive.

The Supernal Torah

15 May 2013 | 1 Comment | written by Rabbi Yoel Glick | in Spiritual Wisdom

 

We are told in the Kabbalah that God in the Ein Sof, the Absolute Reality, is pure infinite consciousness. How did this Infinite Consciousness become embodied in a finite world? How did this finite creation arise out of an Infinite Creator?

The sixteenth century Kabbalist, Rabbi Isaac Luria (also known as the Ari) provides us with an explanation. The Ari teaches that the limitless became limited, when the Infinite undivided Awareness became self-aware. This was accomplished through the formation of the Divine Mind – that is, by the containment of pure consciousness in a form of differentiated consciousness. The Kabbalah calls this original form the Supernal Torah. It contains all the thoughts, wisdom, knowledge and desires of the Creator. Read more…

Revelation Through Love

10 May 2013 | No Comments | written by Rabbi Yoel Glick | in Holydays

When the Baal Shem Tov was once asked why he came into this world, he replied:

“In former times, they served God through yirah – through the path of austerity, disciplines and awe. I came to this world to show another path, the path of service through ahava – love of God, love of Israel and love of the Torah.”

Spiritual Companionship

3 May 2013 | No Comments | written by Rabbi Yoel Glick | in Meditation and Prayer

“I find it hard to describe the joy that we experienced in those days…

“Day after day, as though overpowered by a strange, spiritual fervour, we kept on doing our meditation and experiencing intense joy…day and night we had no talk between us other than about spiritual life – about renunciation, devotion and how to acquire the knowledge of God…Sometimes we were not even aware of how the days were passing.” - Reminiscences of a monk in the Ramakrishna Order[1]

Psalm 133 declares, “How good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.” There is a great joy in being with others who love God. It is like being in the next world, where we are with those who love us unconditionally and know who we really are, who fully resonate with our soul.
