THOSE “UNSPIRITUAL” DAYS

“If your religion doesn’t bring you lasting peace then you’re better off with a Pepsi because at least that quenches you’re thirst.” -Lama Thubten Yeshe I woke up angrier than I’ve been in a while. It didn’t make any sense. I just visited family and spent some time in the mountains. Had an actual Christmas […]

All 6’s & 7’s: Journey Beyond The Senses

BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF G-D IS WITHIN “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said […]

What Does Genesis 1:1 Mean?

 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. -Genesis 1:1 Seems pretty straight forward right? Well, having recently learned how to read Hebrew I’d say it’s anything but straight forward. The syntax is incredibly elusive and doesn’t really translate into English very well.

How Struggle & Growth Go Together

Struggling is a part of the human experience. We all know the ‘grow through what we go through’ quotes. We have all of these maxims, but what do we do when the rubber hits the road? Do we throw our compassion out the window and watch our faiths die? No. We journey within and seek a divine solution. ‘Count it all joy when you go through trials’ right.

All 6’s & 7’s: Transforming Water Into Wine

“On the third day there was a wedding in Cana, in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.” -John 2:1 Jewish mysticism has a practice called gematria- interpreting the meaning of scriptures based on numerical values. It’s a very complex Kabbalistic idea I won’t even attempt to capture here because it’s that deep. However, […]

What The Temptation of Yeshua Teaches

In the post called Symbolism Calls Us Deeper we discussed the esoteric elements behind Yeshua’s conversation with Nicodemus. Today, I’d like to relate that conversation to our own experience and describe how the Temptation in the desert gives us a playbook on how to overcome the triune elements of our being and realize the Kingdom […]

Do YOU Thirst For Wisdom?

Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they who have truly come to know the father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled. – Gospel of Thomas 69 When we think of persecution it’s normal to remember when people have inflicted misery on us. […]
