Sara's sits down with Jocelyn Shelstraw CEO of Buddist! Tune in to hear about her journey and passion for cannabis connoisseurship. [Ep 141]

*This episode was originally broadcast Saturday, June 26th, 2021Over the past few decades, Buddhism and psychology have served as bridges connecting Eastern and Western thought. Believing that nothing is permanent, Buddhism presents an honest understanding of our minds — how we spend so much of our time thinking about the past and future, and struggle to stay in the present. Harnessing these insights, psychologists and therapists have incorporated Buddhism into therapy by teaching mindfulness meditation practices, and the power of observing our own thoughts and emotions rather than trying to get rid of them.  KCRW’s Jonathan Bastian talks with Tara Brach, a clinical psychologist who has spent decades studying Buddhism, meditation, and the incorporation of Eastern thought into her Western practice.  She holds a PhD in clinical psychology, and has spent dozens of years studying Buddhism and meditation. Brach, one of the most sought-after Buddist teachers in America, explains why the stillness of meditation is “exquisite,” and how the simplest of acts may be the purest. Her books include “Radical Acceptance, Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha,” “True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart,” and most recently, “Trusting the Gold: Uncovering Your Natural Goodness.”

Ever feel  like you've fallen off God's VIP list and now you're too far gone?  Today's episode is all about self-forgiveness and ditching the pursuit of happiness to actually turn deeper towards God instead of away. For those moments when you side-eye the heavens and go, "God, seriously? I'm like the poster child for messing up!"  We'll unravel the vibes of inadequacy and dive into those times when we felt like we might have royally messed up on the heavenly dance floor.Cue the dramatic music, because we're bringing in the heavyweights – Moses, Noah, and a squad of other "unqualified" heroes from the Bible. Cause let's be real, to err is human – and trust me, we've all done some divinely questionable stuff. And yes, we'll drop some wisdom nuggets on how to wrap ourselves in that forgiveness glow.We dive a bit into the Buddist practice of just being present, and avoiding labeling experiences. We'll decode why putting the "good Christian" or "bad Christian" stamp on things might be cramping your divine style. Embracing the messy, the chaotic, and the fabulous, we're stepping into a world where every chapter is a stepping stone to our badass bitch era. Wrap it all up with the ultimate truth bomb – God hasn't painted us into a corner with a "permanent marker." We're a canvas of endless possibilities, babes, and trust me, He's got that masterpiece planned for us.CONNECT & BUILD OUR COMMUNITY: Connect with Thania on Instagram @tataconquers Follow on IG: @faithandotherfwords Review on Itunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-other-f-words/id1458989305 Tag me with a screenshot of you listening to an episode!

I don't think you can come across a person with so much diversity as my guest today Nikki Mirghafori, or in Persian it would be Mir - gah - foor- ri. She has grown up in Iran and then immigrated to the US where she studied at Stanford and UCLA and became a visiting professor at  UC Berkeley. There is a side of her that is interested in technology and AI, specifically the ethics of AI. But then there is the other side of her which is an empowered teacher who holds a lineage in Theravada Buddhism, she studied all different kinds of Buddism and felt connected to mediations and silent retreats.  She brings together, perhaps a bit like I do but a lot more, an interesting perspective of east and west of science and spirituality that  I believe is incredibly  needed in the times of confusion we are about to embark on,Nikki Mirghafori, PhD, is of Persian heritage and immigrated to the US in her teens.  She was introduced to contemplative practices and yoga in the early 1980s, to meditation in 1991, and to Theravada Buddhism in 2003. Nikki has studied at Stanford's CCARE and UCLA's MARC and is a Stanford-certified Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) instructor and UCLA-certified mindfulness MAPS facilitator.  She spent four years as a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley's Psychology Department with the renowned psychologist, Professor Eleanor Rosch, the co-author of the seminal book The Embodied Mind . Her teaching includes lectures, classes, day longs, workshops, silent retreats on meditation and Buddhist contemplation in the San Francisco Bay Area and internationally.  Concurrent with her dharma practice and teaching, Nikki has been an Artificial Intelligence scientist and academic at a research institute affiliated with UC Berkeley.  She holds a Ph.D. in computer science from UC Berkeley.

Why do Autistic people gravitate toward Philosophy? Why did Emily turn from Christianity to Buddhism? What is existentialism and how can it positively or negatively affect someone? Emily Robyn Clark is a multi-award-winning screenwriter, filmmaker, poet, songwriter, and practicing Buddhist under the SGI organisation. Her film 'Love Spell' (which she wrote, produced, and directed) which won 12 awards and nominated 2 major film festivals. My Links - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thomashenleyUK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // Emily's Links - https://linktr.ee/emilyrobynclark Dbud Noise Cancelling Adjustable Ear Buds (20% OFF with code: THOUGHTYAUTI) - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dbud.io/thoughtyautipodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ They start off speaking on the stereotype of autistic people being good at maths and computers, before diving into the controversial practice of type-casting Autistic people and women within the film industry. Meditation isn't only a spiritual practice, but something backed up by science as being beneficial for mental health and wellness. Emily speaks on her own practices of Gongyo and how her meditative Buddist rituals helped improve her life. Brought up in Tennessee (USA), in a highly conservative, Christian fundamentalist culture, full of homeschooling, homophobia, and church gatherings... Emily explains her negative experiences within the Religious groups she grew up in and when she first identified she was bisexual. Thomas speaks on his very secular yet existentialist view on life, going into his history with Christianity and his attraction to Buddist tenants and Philosophies. Since his youth, Thomas has always questioned the meaning of life and the experiences we have as humans... going through multiple existential crises before exploring Philosophy. Diving into his own perceptions and beliefs he entered a rabbit hole of Nihilistic despair, before realising the power and freedom it gave him for creating his own values and meaning through Positive Nihilism. Emily and Thomas both arrived at similar conclusions about life and people, just from different angles. For Thomas it was purely theoretical and secular, for Emily it was spirituality and Buddhism. Unconditional love for your 'enemies', healing familial relationships, Carl Jung archetypes, and the identity within passions were all explored in-depth. Emily explains the ideas and utility behind Astrology and Tarot Cards for her own life, whilst the unconvinced host postures with position through the lens of science. Ending on an interesting note, they look into the reasons why Autistic people may gravitate towards spirituality, Religion, and Philosophy... looking at pattern recognition or lateral thinking, influential philosophers, the need for certainty, rituals, and developing your own brand of approaching life.

We are here as a ministry to encourage you, and empower you to run after Jesus to see what your beautiful purpose and serving him might be.

So God says in Ephesians 210, that we are God's masterpiece, we are created anew in Christ Jesus to do the very good things that he planned for us long ago. And as I'm going to share about a Anita or Anita I want to share in a little bit of length about who she is. Because this is all going to add to her story when you guys listen to how amazing God showed up in her life. And she has an incredible story. And actually, there's been a she's been writing a book and there's also a screenplay that's been written and she's going to talk more about that later. But it's it's just phenomenal what God has done with her life. So Anita is the co founder and Chief Chief Operations Officer for her husband's eye surgery practice in need to 10 Helton held the role of practice administrator for 40 plus years. She's a graduate of the University of Rangoon, Burma, and received her Bachelor of Arts degree Gulati with honors in the English language and literature. She's a former Buddhist. She is originally from Burma, currently known as my Inmar and trusted the Lord Jesus as her Savior after she arrived in Chattanooga nearly 50 years ago. She's a Christian motivational speaker, nationally and internationally. She's a leader and a Bible study teacher, and she has helped plant 1100 churches in Nepal.

Anita wrote inductive Bible study guides, and her memoir heartbeat of a survivor love that could not let me go. And a film script, as I was telling you about has been written, and it was called it is called love beyond borders. Anita has a story of God's unending love to share and it describes herself as an empty broken vessel saved to tell the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Sonita Here we go. Let's talk today about your story of victory and being set free from the bondage in Burma where you began your life. Let's start there. Nita Tin   I'm passionate about sharing my journey because I was sick free from bondage, fear and tyranny to a life overflowing with freedom, joy and love to the valleys and hard trials in my life. I discovered that no, no matter what the circumstance of bondage, the pain, the heart ache, the loss or the sorrow. Change can be broken, and life can be abundant and meaningful. I grew up as a rich Burmese girl brought up in the Buddhist religion, in search of satisfying the longing in my heart and from a young child. I wanted to know God. Jeremiah 2913, says, You will seek me and find me when you search for me with your whole heart. And God, my loving pursuing father, in his infinite kindness, was drawing me to himself, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness, have I drawn you this verse in Jeremiah 31 Three, in a nutshell, is what God has orchestrated in my life. Two weeks after my 16th birthday, he God has a sense of humor, doesn't he? I was seen and he brought a gentle physician and surgeon into my life, who by His very love for His Heavenly Father, and the life that he lived, was instrumental in bringing me to the feet of Jesus, my Savior. our married life was interwoven with sorrow and hardship, that threatened to break our spirits and steal our joy. But finally, through atrocious circumstances that made it impossible for us to remain in Burma, a brutal massacre, my father's imprisonment and torture, loss of freedom, the absolute control our ruthless military dictator who took over Burma, and the struggle and poverty which we fought through in the jungle where we had been sent to. This forced us to live, family, home, friends and country. After waiting too long years get back by the oppressive government. We willingly signed papers, stating that we were traitors to our country, we left all our possessions, treasured photographs, jewelry, including my wedding and engagement rings, and everything we owned, and boarded a British Airways jet plane bound for America, never looking back. And on November 3 1973, we flew into New York's Kennedy Airport, our life was marked with poverty, and sorrow, liberty and joy. And in all of this, God poured out His riches and his blessings, and gave us himself as God said to Abraham, via not, I am thy shield and I exceeding great reward. This is a faith journey of an ending marital romance, of God's story that is so rooted in a never ending spiritual hunger, and an ever growing experience of God's love. As God became my hiding place and fought my battles for me. Heartbeat of a survival will open the heart rending stories of battles, I could not fight where the Lord becomes my strength, my shield, my buckler, my strong tower, when there were times when all I could hear as he holds me up are his gentle, gently whispered sigma things, and my tearful, Broken Heart answers, dive face, oh, Lord, will I seek? Kimberly Hobbs   Oh, my goodness, Nita, my heart, my heart, because as you described, being back in Burma, and the the pain and the tragedy that you went through, even knowing your father was tortured, in prison, and all of the horrific things that you faced while you were there had to bring hardship to your heart. But God provided this amazing physician, this man that you grew to love, that also shared your faith. Like he, he shared faith with you, as a Buddhist, you started to learn things. So let's, let's talk right now like ladies, as you're listening to this, we can't even imagine, you know, being in another country and in going through poverty and no food and being tortured and all of the things that she that Anita had to endure. Maybe some of you have been through something like that in your life. You've faced poverty you've faced being without and you were hurting. But God says when your troubles seem to You big. He's there, ladies, he's there. What is impossible for people is possible with God. And, Anita, as you came to the United States, your love and your joy grew as your husband's faith became your own. So can you talk about those years of growing with your husband and learning more and more about his faith? Nita Tin   Well, we fell in love when I was 16. And in my first year in college, he was 19 years old and a third year medical student. And it was his gentleness and love for Jesus that drew me to him. If anyone had all the fruit of the Spirit my husband did through my teenage years, and our young adult married life. It was his gentle, unwavering, steadfast faith that brought me through the trauma of the mass student massacre, when the brutal government in Burma shot down the unarmed university students. And it was his unwavering love for God that held me as we struggled to live in the jungle, through floods, disease, poverty, and sickness. And when we finally left home, family, friends and country, through prosperity and loss, my love and joy grew, as my husband's faith became my own, as Kimberly said, and when it was time, God's time, through my husband's constant prayers. And through first John 513, to 15, God opened my eyes to His wonderful gift of mercy. And I accepted Jesus as my Savior, but says, and this is the record that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son, He that has the Son has life, he then has not the Son of God has not learned these things have I written unto you, that you may know, and that you may believe in the Son of God. And so, you know, his his fate, through prosperity and loss, as I was saying, My love and faith grew, as my husband's faith became my own. And when it was time, God's time, that was what he did. A peace that passes, all understanding became mine. Kimberly Hobbs   Nita, I love that. And I heard the joy in your voice, as you shared about finding Jesus and, ladies, we, we just know if you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you know, the joy and the freedom that comes into your life when you experience that, that acceptance of him for your sin that he paid the price he came in, and he freed you from all your bondage from all of your trials and tribulations. And that's what he did for Anita. And we thank the Lord, for Your husband's faith, Anita, and that he was able to lead you to Jesus, what a beautiful love story and a completion of that marriage. And, you know, ladies, we all we all have a God's story, because God's doing something in your life, your life is an amount for something, you have to believe that and God's story. You say, Anita, you say God's story is not it. It's his story in your life. And you want to share that story. So I just want to read a Scripture before Anita testifies of something else. But God says, All Glory to God who is able to keep you from falling away and we'll bring you great joy into his glorious presence. And we all heard that joy and Anita his voice as she found the presence of God in her life, and All Glory to Him Who alone is God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power and authority are his before all time and in the present, and beyond all time, amen. It's Jude 124 to 25. So now need to share about through all your trials and pain. You can testify of God's victorious love and what he has done for UNITA a love that could not let you go please talk and share about that right now. Nita Tin   I had to come to the end of myself. When it seemed as though I had reached the bottom of the pit. My Heavenly Father's love was deeper than my deepest pit and covered me in my pain and distress. As we're hanging on the side of a mountain, I could not time my gentle Shepherd lifted me up in his arms of love. When I could not bear the pain of cancer, my losses, my sorrow and my headache. My faithful God who sees me, and here's me, carried me. My victory came when I gave God, everything in my life was in total surrender, in coming to the realization that I could not do it. And then I had to let go, and let God take over that I was able to overcome. It was simply putting my trust in the sovereignty and power of God, to know that it was not my strength, but his that it was not my power, but his. I had to learn that he is the potter and I'm just the clay. But this blows my mind in all of that, he is the refiner. But he was also in the fire with me. Shouts of my victory cry up laced in the pages of these rich memoirs, as I hold on to the promises in Psalm 27. One the day of trouble, he will conceal me in His tabernacle, he will hide me in the secret place of his tent, he will lift me up on a rock, now in my head, be lifted up above my enemy's round about me, and I will offer sacrifices in his tent with shouts of joy, I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. I suffered extreme poverty, but he became my sufficiency. I suffered emptiness, but he became my friend, my companion, I suffered depression. But he became my joy, my hope, my light, it took away my empty, restless heart, and gave me a new heart. He took my empty religion and gave me new life. He took me from my family, and brought me into his family. He told me my empty religion and gave me new life. He took away my material possessions and gave me himself. In my weakness. He became my strength. Kimberly Hobbs   Wow, wow. So beautifully said, Anita. And I love what you said about you were in the fire. But he was right there with you. Yes, right there with you. And through seeking Him and searching in his word, he became alive to you in so many ways. And just like you said, he became your defender, he became your protector, your provider, everything that you could think of he was there and ladies, you may be in the fire right now. And Anita and I both want to encourage you that God is there. He's there, right there. Just reach out and talk to him. Ladies, there's answers all through his word. That's why he provides the Bible for us. Because what we need is just nestled in all of the pages of His Holy Word. And we encourage you to go there and just look and read and read and know that God has a plan for you reading His word. Anita, if you can right now, I would love you had such tremendous courage what you and your husband did to leave that country that was so persecuted and you were as well, you lost your family, you left them, you left everything you owned, to come here with nothing that took courage, courage. So right now, the woman that's listening, she needs that courage belt, she needs to be encouraged in the Lord. So can you speak to your sister right now the sister listener who can have victory and true hope in her life? Please just give her a word from your heart that will speak deeply and be planted that she can take away with today. Nita Tin   Throughout my story, there is one strong thread. It is the unending covenantal all consuming love of God. precious hearts. God's love is for you. As Jehovah Sharma He longs to hold you in his to his breasts as a mother would her child He longs to pour out his mercy, his grace, his peace upon you The Lord gave me victory in the darkest, deepest steps. And you Beloved child of God, you can have the same victory. The God who hides me in the depths of his seventh tabernacle, and fights, my battles for me, is the same God, who will hide you in the secret place of his tent, and fight your battles for you. God is writing his story. And we, we get to become a part of it, nothing is wasted. We have the wonderful opportunity of joining him where he is already working. Yes, you may sometimes feel that you are being pummeled. And at times, you may feel that you just can't go on. Don't give up becoming a trophy of His grace, His masterpiece, that is lighting up the dark, and drawing those who sit in darkness while waiting to hear his story of salvation through Amazing Grace. Are you disappointed with your life? Are you discouraged because things are not turning out the way you have planned? Do you feel trapped in your past? Are you going through more than you can bear Take heart, God can see around the corner where we cannot, we may not see the understand side of the tapestry. He is weaving in your life and mine. But he knows and sees the other side, which will finally have the beautiful patterns he has planned for you and me. God does Kay. He hears us when we call and speaks to us if we will listen. As CS Lewis wrote, he whispers to us in our pleasures, but shouts in our being, we will always walk with us in our trials and suffering. be comforted that he knows and fields have been because he has already gone before us. He loves us so much he died for us. So run into his outstretched and stretched arms. He is waiting for you. Kimberly Hobbs   That is amazing. encouragement, thank you so much. He is waiting for you ladies run into his arms run. There's no time like today, to run into the arms of Jesus and surrender your heart to Him. He's waiting for you ladies. He's waiting. He wants all of you, all of you. So I just pray and need to praise that you can surrender your heart to Him today and let him take you through the fires that you're going through right now. He is a loving God, He cares about you. And he's going to bring you through them for a purpose, which you are going to walk out in your life. You may not see it now. But know that God is there. And he is he has a plan for you just like that opening scripture. You are his masterpiece He created you knew in Christ Jesus, right. So he has things planned for you from very long ago, before you were even born. He had a plan for you run after him. And Anita, you are just so delightful. I love talking to you. You just bless my heart. I respect you for all that you know in love in our Lord Jesus Christ and teach to so many. I want to just ask you right now, you wrote a book, and there was a screenplay written about your life. Can you talk about that for just a minute? Nita Tin   Yeah, actually, I don't know if you can see it. But this is the cover of the book. And it says, heartbeat of a survival. And it's from Golden pagodas to land of liberty in search of something more. And, you know, this is a book that God impressed upon my heart to write, but somehow he brings into our life, a film director who's just listened to our story within two days, she said, I'm going to write your film script. And she called it was a love story and she called it love beyond borders. So we're waiting to see what God's gonna do. And I'm just you know, excited about what he will do in his own time and in his own way. Kimberly Hobbs   Oh, that's so beautiful Anita and ladies, will you please pray over love beyond borders and play it pray over neat as book which is going to be come published and and how do the ladies find you? Nita, if they want to reach out and email you or talk to you, do you want to share any way that they can reach out to you? Nita Tin   Yes, my, you can reach out to me to email. And it is my name, Anita Qin X L, like for extra large, or you could think of it as excellent. So it's needed in excel@yahoo.com. And you can also find me on Facebook. It's needed in and you know, you can send me messages through that, I will talk to you, or I will, you know, I will email you and let you know what the progress is, if you want to, Kimberly Hobbs   That's so beautiful. And so I encourage you ladies reach out to Anita, talk to her and ask her some questions about her life and, and get ready for this amazing book and movie and she can let you know when that is going to come out. And ladies, as we close up, there's a couple things that I just want to share with you, especially scripture. That is we were talking about being victorious in Jesus. God's Word says that God's way is perfect. All of the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who looked to him for protection, Psalm 1830. And as need to look to God for protection, and had that amazing covering over her life. That can be the same for you. His promises are true ladies. That's why please go to his word, search out his word, know that His promises are true. And you can be victorious and Jesus, God says, I hold you by your right hand, I the LORD your God. And I say to you, don't be afraid. I am here to help you. That Scripture gives me goosebumps because God is here to help each and every one of us. He's here to help us. He says that in His Word. And remember, he cannot go contrary to what he says. So those last words of that sentence, he says, I am here to help you. That's Isaiah 4113. Take that scripture carry it with you memorize it, hold on to it, when the doubts are coming in when the depressions coming in when the want to give up is setting in in your life. Don't you allow that, as Anita was talking about victory victory and Jesus, women were leaders put out a book called victories. And it's claiming freedom in Christ. And that's available on our website. There's so much help in this ladies. There are teachings in here there are stories from women around the world. But one of the things is that you can glean from these teachings having victory overcoming addictions, overcoming different challenges in your life. It's all in here. It's an amazing book. And since Nieto was talking about victories today, I thought I would share about that book with you. It's an Amazon number one best seller. It is a seven time best seller. You can get it on Amazon as well. But we would love it if you got it through women world leaders.com. And ladies, I just want to say thank you to you, Anita for sharing your heart today. You are delightful and a blessing. Nita Tin   Thank you for having me. It was so much joy. So much love. Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. Amen. And I am just so glad that you reached out to tell the ladies they can communicate with you and I pray that they will do that. I pray that they will do that. So as we close ladies, we again we are a team together right all working toward having a closer walk with Jesus. And so we just invite you to be part and from his heart to yours. We are women world leaders all content is copyrighted by women, more leaders and cannot be used without expressed written consent. God bless all of you and have a beautiful day.

There's coming a time when everyone has to confess that Jesus is Lord. The Buddist and other religions will one day have to address Him as the creator and the one in which the fullness of the Godhead resides. He's the one that carries us, sacrificed His life to save us, and became our redeemer and savior.

If you were asked to determine what you truly want from life when everything else is stripped away, you would likely say that you want happiness, contentment, inner peace, and fulfillment. Happiness is a fundamental key to the human experience. But one of the paradoxes of happiness is that it can be difficult to define. People define happiness in a variety of ways – for me, it's about making the best of the good times while having the resilience to deal with the tough times. What does happiness mean to you? And is it true, sustainable happiness or something more fleeting? This week I discuss the paradoxes of happiness and why the definition of happiness is different for each individual. I explain the Buddist philosophy on happiness and why they believe there can be no real happiness without also experiencing pain and suffering. I discuss why it's critical to avoid the illusion of creating the perfect, idealistic future and instead, learn to embrace your flaws, make peace with your past, and choose to find happiness in the present moment. I explain what sustainable happiness is and how it boosts your health and wellbeing. I also explain how your moment-to-moment experiences of happiness differ from your feelings of overall life satisfaction, the three fundamental aspects of happiness, and how using a gratitude journal can help you boost your inner happiness and wellbeing. “Ultimately, at the end of the day, finding happiness becomes a choice – your everyday choice to find more balance, harmony, contentment, and fulfillment.” – Dr. Mark Rowe This week on In the Doctor's Chair: Why the concept of happiness is different for everyone The Buddist philosophy on happiness Healthy vs Toxic Positivity Why negative emotions ‘stick' longer than positive emotions The illusion of a perfect, idealistic future Choosing to find happiness in the present moment The science of positive psychology Understanding sustainable happiness How boosting your happiness impacts your productivity, creativity, energy, and performance The difference between your moment-to-moment happiness experiences and your overall life satisfaction 3 fundamental aspects of happiness How 50% of your potential happiness is inherited, 10% by circumstance, and 40% by your choices Using a gratitude journal to boost your happiness Answering the 3 Ws of happiness: What Went Well Resources Mentioned: Book: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

Our recent culture has been obsessed with self-love, including me over the years. But something never set right with me about this self-love, separation language.  "I love myself."  Who is the "I" and who is the "self" when I AM Love?  That language still denotes separation and is a false reality.  I don't love myself...I AM. I AM LOVE. Love in my truest state and nothing has ever been separated from this love. Only the mind can separate us from love, never the heart.  So do I need self-love OR...as the Sufi mystics tell us, along with countless Judeo-Christian and Buddist teachings...learn to BECOME Love that wipes away the illusion of separation? These are deep, mystical concepts that, if embraced, contemplated, and meditatated on, can set us all free.  (@womanscircle, (@christablackgifford @iamlukegifford)

Series: Be'erot, Love & Relationship with God.   Synopsis:  How Yaakov's aspect of Tiferet is the beauty that results from the connecting back of an individual element of the world to its source.   Episode Transcript:   The Chachamim tell about Yaakov Avinu that he was the most beautiful of the avot. The beauty of Yaakov was like the beauty of Adam Harishon, and his beauty  surpassed that of the avot. And I think to appreciate some of why is very rooted in the kinds of  balance Yaakov brings to the world because, if as we saw in the imagery that we touched in Avraham Avinu, when he becomes the out-breath, the breathing out of possibilties and the sharing and Yitzchak is the in-breath and the independent personhood, so there is a great risk in that, that the independent person becomes disconnected from Source. We all know this, and it's a great paradox we expanded upon, that in coming into one's own, there is a losing of the original place of Source. And a lot of life that is creative and forward-moving is about holding a very clear consciousness of Source, as one becomes more realized and expressed                 And since we find out that Yaakov Avinu is the one who is realized personality, and when he becomes Yisrael, so his ability to hold the rootedness and to become particularly expressed intot he bechina of li rosh, that I have a head, meaning that I have both a head that I am sourced in andt hat I have a head, most particularly I have a perspective, a perception, a consciousness which is mine. That ability to hold those, which we saw in terms of  Yisrael as shir-el, as holding those in the oscillation which becomes a song, is also very much present as a preparation for that ability to sing in the aesthetic, in the yofi, and tiferet, the midah of Yaakov, is the appearance of beauty and that has everything todo with holding this most delicate balance because there is something about beauty which is very mysterious. The theories around what impacts people as aesthetically pleasing are numerous. But the aspect of it that most interests me is the aspect that beauty has which ironically attaches the person to the transcendent, by which I mean that in the moment that a person appreicates something which is marvelously beautyful, so a profoundly aesthetic moment will not be translated into appetite, by which I mean, a true and delicate appreciation of beauty, it inculcates and  brings on in the observer a sense of something which is transcending this object, or moment. And the opposite direction of becomine "appetitic", tyvadic, wanting to take it as your own, that kind of direction of soul and of emotion as generally not in the moment of the apprecition of the beauty. There maybe something which becomes aroused after that—and we'll explore that—but the moment of just the beauty of it, is quite ironically, I think, one which is generally moves one in the direction of wanting to share.                 If I can describe what I think as a fairly universal experience, when there is a beautiful scene that someone sees, that's where it's most easy to appreicate, or a beautiful song that a person is hearing. So the place of purity in the appreciation of that is almost one which arouses in the listener or viewer a desire to share it. "It's unbelievable, did you see it?" Or, "Did you hear this song yet?" And people have this almost like a drive that it not remain their own. There's something here that I know we can share it. And it's not exactly that there is something missing if it's not shared. It's definietly still there whether it's shared or not shared. But there's something like a drive in a person that I want to share this with others. And this, I believe, is rooted in an extraordinary aspect of beauty—it arouses a person to a sense of the transcendent, by which I mean, that aspect of reality in which all is sharing, is together, and I believe the arousal to that comes from what I think, sort of we subconcsiously know, that somehow, the fact that there is beauty in the world is the most profound indication that this world has a selfhood. And what I mean, if you think about it, and we generally don't, the world is a beautiful place, is the strongest indication about the commonality of our consciousness with what is. If it wasn't that our consciousness were somehow sharing with this planet what this planet is, then it wouldn't appear beautiful to us; there would be something off about it or dissonant or repulsive about it, because it's not like something that we connect to. Like, beauty is a deep connector, not in the I'll just keep using this word until we come up with a better word—not in the appetetic  way—it's a deep connector in the sense of, if I find this beautiful, then somehow that means that I really belong here. Somehow my consciousness, selfhood, what I take pleasure in an take enjoyment in is really meant for me,  and the Being who made this made both me and that which I see, made both me and my awareness and that which I am aware of, and it's beautiful to me. These trees, these mountains, the sky, the clouds, the beautiful flower, beautiful human being. All of these are the strongest indication that there is a common root to it all. And that the ecology of it is one of unity and oneness.                 There is a very deep sense of oneness and sense of well, that there is a creation here that is sharing with me in beauty. I'm not outside of it and disconnected from it. We're sharing something. And when I see a beautiful person or tree or hear beautiful music, it's a deep sharing, that shares the deepest recesses of who I am to the point that this is totally resonating with me, I feel at oneness with this. That level of connectivity and intimacy, is aroused in that experience of the beauty and is, in a sense, the Avraham side of the aesthetic, that it's all one fabric of being and we stand not outside it. That place, I believe, becomes aroused in a person, they want to go share it with someone. It's not like a symphony in two movements. It's one and the same movement of soul which is I have come to touch the intimate sharing of the one who made this and there is a sense of there being a personailty and a selfhood that is being shared here. But just the experience that there is a being that is being shared here arouses in me a desire that this beauty be shared. Because that is the nature of beauty, that it involves that kind of sharing. This is so deeply embedded in us that it doesn't take the logical analysis for us that I just did for us to experience it, but that's just how it is.                 But the other aspect of it, is that the aesthetic is always epxerienced in the specific The bliss and the oneg that we spoke so much of around Avraham, and the world of anavah which is completely pashut, and as the gemara I saw this morning, I was led to it, daf kaf amud bet in avodah zarah, that says anavah gedolah mikulam, that anavah is higher than all of them, which is precisely where we had been holding in the gemara there—all of that anavah, pshitut and stripping down is bliss, but it is not beautiful. It is not an experience of beauty there. It is a very profound pleasure and quiet and simplicity. But beauty, for it to appear, must come through the particularization of elokim, the particularization of the name of G-d which is not simple being but becomes the multitudinalness which is the expression ,the name of elokim, the name of Yitzchak, which is the one who brings out the divinity in its multiple expression. And until there's the multiple expression, so there's nothing to hold that would be experienced as beauitful. It's similar in terms of what we know and love, but here if it's not in terms of the aesthetic, a particular tree or person or view, --and as big and expansive as it is, it's still a specific view—that particularity of it is, I believe, what creates the duality of presence which is both that there is something here specific that's being shared with me and through which there is a window to that which is beyond it which shares all and that is the transcendent, which shares all. That way of being in it is a way which only comes by virtue of that realization in this particular most beautiful flower . And then my experience of that flower—and it doesn't have the be the most beautiful flower seen in the right state in the touching of transcendence—that flower becomes beautiful in its particularity, and in its trancience, but also somehow in its speaking what flower is, not just its particular flowerness, but what flower is. This is what life is. This is what our planet is, this is who our G-d is. And that kind of a ladder from that particular upwards is the ladder that Yaakov Avinu provides. That's why he's the consciousness of ladder. Because he always in experiencing the specific is experiencing the rtranscendent. And this happens when he leaves Israel and has the vision of the angels going up and down the ladder, and his experience of place, which is the place that he is lying on has all place concentrated in it, as we saw that the Rabbis taught vayifgah bamakom, he really hit the place. That hitting of place, the Rabbis say, was expressed by G-d when G-d told him, I give you all the land that you lie on, which the Rabbis then say, in their quizzical way, really? Just the four cubits he was lying on? You don't understand Yaakov. When Yaakov lies in one place, the whole universe is in that one grain of sand. When Yaakov lies on that place, so all of the Land of Israel, which is simply the beauty which is a window to all of the rest of the world, is on that place. So, for instance, the Rabbis teach us, that Yaakov is the one who taught the teaching of making space on Shabbat, as defining how far the techum goes. He was koveah techumim. And one of the remazim of that is vayichan et pnei hair, that he made the face of the city of Schem have chen, literally it means "he encamped here" So the Rabbis, in an esoteric term, say, he created an encampment and so on Shabbat, he also created the din of there's a place that is yours—al yetzeh ish minkomo, a person is not to go outside of his place on Shabbat. He is to be there just where he is and not to walk beyond that. He created that there in that encampment in that beauty.                 But the Rabbis also teach, that more than any other patriarch, Yaakov Avinu was given, far beyond what Avaraham was, when Avraham was given the gift of the land, he was todl, walk it to all its length, it is yours. And Yitchak, when he was given the land, he was told, As far as you can see. That is what's yours. But Yaakov, it says about him, ufaratzta yamah vkedma, tsafona vanegba, you are to expand to the west, to the east, to the north, to the south, and anyone who, the Rabbis teach, eats the third meal on Shabbat, or eats the meal which is the meal of Yaakov, as the meals are paralell to the avot, so he gets an inheritence that has no end. And yet it's Yaakov who taught us the limits of being in your own place on Shabbat. But now we can understand that, because in being in truly your place, so you're really there and it's beautiful to you, meaning that you have the deep sense of its belonging to you, its appealing to you, so that is your window to all, it's the only way that it could be. That to have access to all is by having a window through the specific. Everything else just becomes transcendental and disconnected. But Yaakov is that bridge and ladder. And the ladder he sees while he's lying on the specific place which attaches him to all place and on the one stone which become formed of the twelve stones which argued for him to put his head on it. That is his consciousness and that is his reality. And when he comes back to the land of Israel, the same thing happens. When he crosses over the River Jabbok.                 Now this River Jabbok, as it's taught in Kabbalah, is the combination fo the two primary names which we've spoken so much of. And that is the name Havayah. Yud and heh and vav and hey, which is the name of being, and the name elohim, which is the multitude expressed, which is the name of becoming and of creation. And the numeric value of those two names is Jabbok. And Rashi brings that the Rabbis teach that he made himself into a bridge to cross the Jabbok. Meaning, that he is the holder of both being and becoming where he is holder of the transcendent, beyond, unchanging presence which all is shared in and the specific and particular expression which comes through Yitzchak of this particular woman, this particular place. And he must carry that to hold those both and does in his own beauty. And so he is very beautiful, that's what he holds. He's beautiful as Adam Harishon is beautiful. He's as beautiful as the one who held all of humanity in him. He's the one whose radiance is a radiance of all of reality. And that transcendence is expressed through him in that kind of revelation that we experience something every time that we are experiencing something in its beauty.                 I know this very deeply in music and I believe it's true in art too. There's a beautiful film of Yitzchak Perlamn teaching the best children virtuosos of the world. Children can be a virtuoso because of extraordinary technical ability. So you can  have a child who mamash plays like an incredible creation. So in this film you see on violin one of these Japanese or Jewish kids—there seem to be certain races that are especially good at this—playing very difficuly piece on violin. And it's good, it's astounding, the ability. Then, to teach them, he takes the violin and begins to play. And it's just another world, and it's not that his technical ability is different from theirs. What has shifted here? What has shifted here is the depth of resonance of his own personhood which is connecting into the inner spirit of the—I don't know if there are words for this—it's the ruach, it's the inner breath of the breath. It's not enough to have sung it, but it's the presence of the personhood there. The others were impressive and astounding and awesome, and all the other words to descirbe our amazement. But it became beautiful when there was the depth of a personality there that was expressive of life. That's when it became beautiful. I know anytime I play music, that's when it becomes beautiful. And I'm committed to it beign that way in Torah also. Even so, I must say I sometimes have my ambivalence of even teaching what I'm teaching now. I think I'm giving over te truths. I really sense that. But ti's not like the technical tightness and arguability always—at least in the level of consciousness—that say, a Talmudic discourse would be given over (although, who knows? Maybe some day those rules will be—they do for me sometimes 31:27). But nevertheless, the depth of that, when it's connected, there's an entirety of a personhood that speaks through that, that's when it becomes beautiful. And that's because it's connecting to the source, it's connecting to the soul, and a life.                 Yaakov Avinu carries that. That is his being, and it's also what makes it so possible for Yaakov Avinu to be responsive to things as they are, as we've spoken out, because he is the responsive one. His own beauty makes him so connected to what is, he responds to the specifics of every moment and he responds to people as they are. He sees them always as a window to what is beyond them, and what is beyond also their own particular awareness. Someone might not know what he really wants. And Lavan might not know what he really wants. Yaakov really knows what he really wants and he provides that to them. He responds. He follows with temimut where life leads him because of that same kind of sense of it all being bridged. I'd like to work that out more clearly somehow because I see them as related. Certainly I do know that the ones who appreciate beauty most are temimim. Temimim, not in the sense of not knowing. A tamim can be a very knowledgable person. And I believe that the more knowledgable and the more intelligent the tamim is, so the more of his depth of the appreicate of the aesthetic will be. Not because he's bringing up how the helium of the sun reacts and creates heat, and all that stuff, but there's just something about the depth of a person that happens because of his knowing of what reality is that enters into that moment even though it's not conscience in that moment. But the primary mode of experiencing beauty is in temimut, in ingenuousness, simplicity, in not trying to place upon it my own agenda and intentions. To really just be with it as it is. To really just be with it as it is can turn almost anything into beauty.                 Now there are things in reality which seem to be designed to be repulsive. You know, large rats and palmetto beetles. It does seem that G-d has the roah, you know, the evil also represented in the aesthetic. But, I think ultimately the tamim would be able to touch something of the beauty in that, too. Temimus also has to do with a stripping of—not like anavah, but a stripping of temimut, that's why pshitut and temimut come together—but it's different in that temimut, has already become specified into my particularness and your particularness, and I'm opening to receiving things just as they are. (35:30)                 I realize that the bracha that we say when we see something beautiful is, she kacha lo b'olamo. It's just as it is, it's just that way in His world. And it's important to say In His world, in the sense of the person behind it. Did I once share with you this interaction I once had with someone who'se very heavy into Buddhism? We were walking outside and we were chatting about things and I was just so taken by the beauty of where we were, I just said to him, how can the simplicity of being and the relating to this as an illusion—an almost unintended illusion—how could it be so beautiful? The beauty gives such a strong sense of there's someone there Who made that for you? How do you explain that? Either he didn't have an answer, or he didn't want to bother me, I don't know which. But he was willing just to appreciate that. It's like Jewish. What is the Buddist conception of beauty? I don't know all that much about Buddhism, so it's not fair, but my sense is that the attitude or that consciousness that the only thing that's real is the phsitut has to do with the anavah. The only thing tha'ts real is that, and that none of this is real or ture, misses the so to speak, personality of G-d that stands behind wanting this and having made this. That, in a sense, in a world where the true ascent is to the pshitut to the simplicity, so on a certain level, there can be no aesthetic appreciation, so then all of this is a lie, it's not really true. But in a world where there is a Will-er, where G-d wills that this should be and confirms, so to speak to us, His Will, by making it beautiful for us, so then, there's a different truth which is accessed. And the access to the truth, and indeed truth and beauty, I think experientially they ride in the same wavelength, the experience of something that is beautiful and the experience of something that is true, they often come together. (40:05) because both of them are indicative of this is really matim. And by the way the word matim and emet are the same lettes. They are the "rightness" of it. This fits. This isbeautiful—it fits. Whether it be the symmetry of it, or This really speaks to me, this isbeautiful. This speaks to me true. The theoery you have in physics, it fits reality, it's toen what is. That is so deep in expereince which is why the word emet is teom, it's a twinning of things that are matim one to another and Yaakov is not only the man of beauty but he is also the man of truth. Emet titen emet l'yaakov. Why would he be both the man of truth and the man of beauty? This iso Jewish a perception of beuaty and of truth. Because in every truth and in every beauty we experience the Will-er Who has willed that we should be here in the world and made us all of the same stuff. But that gives high value to this "illusion." We know the anavah of Avraham, we know the strict of all expression simplicity of simple being but we know something deeper, and that is sthere is a will that this should be here, now as we experience it, and is desiring this for us, that is making this dirah batachtonim, a dwelling place here in all of thie magnificent, multiple and diverse reality. So yes, it's illusion, but its' also an allusion to something else, but that's a whole different perspective and perception, that it's alluding to something. And the aspect of reality as alluding to something is its teomiyut, that it's a twin. It's twinned to the transcendent. It's twinned to the inner will of the one who and possibly and paradoxically is a will that includes somehow a desire that there should be a particular and specific manifestation. It's a mystery in all of the sefarim. It's called the great peleh, the great wonder that our consciousness cannot access. But it is the great wonder which all of Judaism is built on. And it's the great wonder which Yaakov touchesk who's also in the middle line. He touches this place in the keter. He's the lower keter, crown, the upper crown being the meeting between the finite, and the lower crown being the meeting of the infinite and finite in the world in the place of beauty. And this is the level which is called tamati, which the Rabbis darshan teomati, my twin. Because when you look at the world and all the beauty, it's like, we're twin. And that twin, that teom is emet. This is true. This is meant to be here.  If it wasn't meant to be here, then it wouldn't be beautiful. And there are ugly spiritual conceptions that say that the beauty of the world is only sort of a distraction or a temptation or a taking away from. This isugly spirituality that denies the goodness of a G-d who gave us a beautiful world that we would bless on it sha kacha lo b'olamo, that it's just like this in His world. Just like this in this world is such a temimistic thing to say. It's total temimut. Sees a beautiful woman, a beautiful man, a beautiful animal, a beautiful tree, baruch atah hashem elokeinu melech haolam she kacha lo b'olamo. It is like this in His world. It's just like this. I don't have anything more to say about this because its fact of beauty derives from the fact that I have nothing more to say about it. It's not something I can figure out, it's just touching something so deep in the makeup of what I am. And the wonderful secret of Yaakov that it's just touching something so deep in the makeup of what I am, I'm touching something which is so deep in the makeup of the One Who made it, that I'm touching the place of kacha, that's just the way it is. It's a very high place. In fact, there's a drasha of the mekubalim she kacha means, keter, kol haketarim, it's an acronym for the crown of all the crowns, that it's just the way it is. IT's such an important thing to appreciate and to know. And the custom is at the beginning of everyyear, by which I mean Rosh Chodesh Nisan, when the world, at least in Israel is at its most beautiful, and everythign is just beginning to blossom so you go out and make one bracha that everyone has to make on beauty once a year on the trees. And it's a very particular moment in the tree's coming into manifestation that you make that blessing on it. And that is when the tree just begins to bud. When the fruit isn't yet a fruit. That would already be too far down the line when the specific already begins to be threatened to be disconnected from Source. Nor is it just generic tree, so to speak, the tree in it's is-ness before it's become manifest. But it's thr tree just as it begins to manifest its beauty and purpose. Right at that meeting point between is-ness and doing, between potentiality and simplicity, the realization just at that meeting point, that's when you make the blessing which is G-d has made things to give man pleasure. Pleasure in the sense of artistic, not oneg, but hana'ah, beneficial and beautiful pleasure. That's when the source is in place, and the expression has just begun to be, we say Thank You, G-d, that You have not left anything lacking in Your world. And You've given us beautiful things that we should enjoy, and beautiful trees, like this one. That's it. That's the place of Yaakov, that is the place of beuaty. And in a sense, successfully or not, his life is devoted to that, in holding a house and family together. In holding the multitude of children that they should be one house. In holding two wives, one of this world, and one of the next, Rachel and Leah. (50:02) And holding in a sense two personalities, of Yaakov, who comes from there and Yisrael, who's the particular expression of always holding a duality into one, which is his task and his reality. Ultimately, we'll take Yosef to express that in the world, and it will be Yosef who will send to bring peace between the brothers, which is his life's work, to bring peace between the brothers, and this particular ability that Yosef has, and in a sense, Yosef, far more than Yaakov, becomes the man of chen, the man of attractive beauty, and the ability to hold together in this world the multiplicity, something that Yaakov never really succeeded in doing. That's why Yosef is the prime progeny of Yaakov: eleh toldot Yaakov, Yosef. He can do that. And where Yaakov risks going wrong in his temimut by descending to complacency, as it says that he sought to live in complacency, bikesh leshev b'shalvah. It's Yosef's always moving beyond that forced him to reawaken that beauty, temimut and the pleasure of that never be in complacency with that. It can be a quiet moment of a Shabbat within this reality, but you can never stay there. And you can't go back there and it's always in motion. And you can rest in it here and now just as it is, but that very Jewish consciousness of there is another step to go is always waiting at the doorstep. Not that it always needs to be there in those moments. You can have the bliss, and you can have the temimut, the appreciation of things as they are, but it will end. And never think that that ending as an illusion has returned. (53:30) No, that's the truth that G-d wants us to live here in this world with its particulars, its specifics, its moments, its people, and its beautiful places that are always reminding us of the embeddedness in what's beyond, but call us also to the presence of what is.                 These are other important elements of Yaakov that I'm able to share. And I'm wondering if we can have—I just like have this so strongly in him. I'm wondering how Yaakov and Yisrael and what we've understood of them are expression to that. I have a sense that it can't be entirely simple. I'd like for it to be so to speak simple. That Yaakov is relating to the all and Yisrael becomes the speciifc li rosh. But it's not true because Yaakov is the one who stays in the world and never dies. He never resubmerges into that simplicity of being the was that Yisrael does, who does that. So Yisrael seems more otherworldly Yaakov more worldy. But as we've seen it's Yisrael and his becoming specific that he's able to become similar to G-d Who is the yechido shel olam, the only one in that uniqueness, so he touches it throught there. So then, who was Yaakov? Unless all he is is simply the process towards that. Maybe that's all Yaakov is, the process towards that. I don't know for sure. I have a deep sense that it would be helpful for us to identify the futures of them in a way that fits with this, of course it must be, because this is who he is. And my current sense is that Yaakov's really the movement towards that, he's always moving towards that and it becomes realized in Yisrael. And he appreciates beauty as he does the beauty of Rachel and he is himself very beauty. But the ultimate realization of that beauty in its fullness is really ultimately in Yisrael. Meod yesh l'ayeyn.   I thought about sharing beauty. Sometimes there's a feeling that it's only worth-- If no one sees it,  you want to share it because it will disappear. You want to make it real. Those are two different things and they are each deserve their own looking at. You're talking about aspects of netzach sheb'tiferet. It only becomes meaningful when I share it. I'm looking for it to have meaning and a worth. And also in that—and I believe those two things are related, what you said—that you believe it's going to last. Only I see it, well, I'm so transient. So if someone else sees it, it's become more real, somehow, because now, it's not just me. The falsehood in that is, okay, you just added another transient human being. How may transient human beings do you need to add for it to become real? It's absurd. Because if you don't relate to yourself as having received it as it having been real, then it really doesn't add if another person and another person and another person have seen it too.   So it seems. So that kind of driven sharing is probably not the level we're looking at. There's a different level that we're looking at that it's so real that I want everyone to share in it and to paritipate in it because the truth is, we all do participate and share in that. Now I know that G-d didn't construct us to always be on that level, so He made a fail-safe system. The fail-safe system is driven (59:45) by I want to hold onto it and so by sharing it with someone else I make it more real and solid so now a lot of people are seeing it. So I hold that as a fail-safe system that gets the job done that now a lot of people have seen it. It's fail-safe because it's ego driven based on my own insignificance and an attempt to so to speak create significance by sharing with others.  But I think, more profoundly, the experience of true self-hood is of ultimate significance, but not egotistical selfhood. True selfhood, soul-sefhood. Of myself as being godly, a piece of G-d, a soul of G-d. And that soul of G-d now speaks the desire to share as He always does, which is what this world comes from. So when we attach to that, so when we look to share it. That is like an aspect of the yesod of the tiferet. There's like a desire to share it. And that's why also Yosef becomes so important to Yaakov. His one-ness. So now it's stepping out and manifesting in another's consciousness or in another's body or in another's personhood this that I have seen.                 See how we really need to explore more about Yosef. We have in the past. But one really profound aspect of Yosef is this power of sharing, which is inappropriate sometimes, in the way he shares his dreams, he's like sharing everything. Seeking to share, and he wants to hear other people's dreams—I think we talked a bit about that last time—and how Choni Hameagel his descendent, o chvruto mituta – I must share, that's just the reality of who I am, he becomes the intensified version of that in yesod, I must share it. And that as an ontological reality. He is the tov that we talked aobut way way long ago. The ontological reality of lo tov lihiyot adam l'vado. It's not good that man be alone. Tov in the kabbalah is yesod. Reaching beyond what I am to touch another. That's Yosef and why he's always experiencing beyond and beyond and beyond, it's never touched at all. (1:03) That's very profound in love that always moving beyond.                 I just want to say one more thing about that. That aspect of Yosef as always moving beyond—Yosef, Yosef li ben acher—always moving beyond, connecting outwards, connecting to another, has to be extremely sensitive to and precise in its integrity. It's faithfulness. That's hwy the main midah, the main characteristic of a Tzaddik has to be that he's faithful. He's ne'eman. If you remember is the aspect of yonati. Always looking into the eyes of the other into the beloved. Very crucial, and in a sense drawn from Yaakov's being in the place. Because if there's not faithfulness, then he's out theree this youthful sowing his oats everywhere and left with nothing. This adolescent uncontrolled outward-turned connector. But in his faithfulness is his greatness. This is why the Rabbis teach that in his most trying moment with the wife of Potiphar, the wife of Poti-phera, so he almost failed until he saw the image of Yaakov in the window. A perfect picture. He looked up and saw the image of Yaakov in the window, the midrash says. And understood that he was about to lose his place among the children of Yaakov, Because it's Yaakov connecting the specific with a grand vision, so to speak. So without faithfulness it would be lost. Can't take away another man's wife. Forget it. And that was it. That's really when Yosef became the Tzaddik. Because he connected to reliability and faithfulness and to the honor of relationship in its specificity. That's when goes all the way up and connects to the highest of the keter, that is G-d's faithfulness to His creation. That's the yonah that is looking at the king and can't take her eyes of Him, the Zohar says, and He can't take His eyes off her.                 That's on the one hand. But on the other, he's always reaching out, connecting more, feeding the world, feeding the planet. Caring about everyone, caring about the Egyptians—he really cares aobut the Egyptians!—Only by virtue of his caring about the Egyptians does he come to be able to feed the world. (1:07:47) (Question in Hebrew: When you talk about specificity, I'm interested in knowing what you think about post-modernism  exactly, I dunno, if you know, maybe you'll say something about that. It focuses, I mean, there isn't one story, there are many, everything is so specific…) I'm not sure either. I've like to contemplate that more, but my sense is that In post-modernism where everything is just more the particular perception of the one seeing it, is a destruction of beauty. And I don't know what post-modernist art looks like, but I can just imagine. It's likely to not be very beautiful because it's lost te sense of Yaakov's truth, which is there is One behind in his personhood in His willingness and desiringness. There's certainly much more to be said here. But I do think that a shared aesthetic is something which stands in opposition to post-modernist perception. I don't really know anything about post-modernist aesthetic. What about "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? That's chen. There is such a thing as chen. We talked about that. That's not yofi. Sheker hachen. Chen and emet don't come together. So they talk about chen, I guess. Well, I like it. That's nice. It isn't bad that you like it. But there is something called yofi. Yofi has to do with emet. But it's also hevel. We explained this once I think. Yofi is hevel, it is so rooted in truth that this world can't hold it. That beautiful rose is going to wilt, that beautiful woman is going to age. It's not going to stay that way. That's the hevel aspect of it because it's in this world and it can't stay that way. The ability to sit in my specificity to really connect to the greater will of Hashem, it's a struggle all the time to figure out what's the specific. It hit me really hard what you said about these other avodahs that the beauty of the world is a distraction and somehow I feel we do that too to women, I feel that very personally, the space of okay, I'm trying to connect with my specific me, and there's not so much space for me to do that, because my specific me is feminine, and that's just what it is, and you're telling me to hide it all the time because that's a distraction for you in this world and it's something I struggle with deeply and it's something that daily I say, Let's get out of this religion and take off to something else where I actually can express myself. So immediately I was, that's what shomer aynayim is, you're saying what's beautiful in a woman is not from Hashem. I hear and I want to cry with you over what you experience as a woman as so much the spirituality of ugliness I talked about, which would prefer an ugly world, so to speak, so that it wouldn't be so distracting. And what I want to share is that the phenomenon that you describe is an unfortunate not only by-product that you describe but may be one of the chief by-products of our fallen state which comes from eating from the Tree of Knowledge. Because it's painfully present in the Chumash that the first thing they do after the eating of the fruit is that they cover themselves so that they not see each other as they are. And that is such a powerful—it's not only a reality, which is real—but the temimut we lost that in a sense was lost. And when it was lost, we became unable to see fully things just as they are because the acquisitive appetitic self became so real that our ability to look beauty without attempting to own it and posses it became a very deep challenge. And so we hid away who we are, and we hide from what others are and very deep part of all that I'm teaching is, certain levels of Messianic consciousness, because they are only available in a Messianic condition. That's not chas v'shalom to say that we should sacrifice it all in the now. But it is to say that there are certain realms which are so tempting to become possessive that they're better left unspoken. Certain beauties that are left for very special and specific places where they can be expressed without possessiveness becoming destructive. And so I share that with you, and in sharing some of the pain, there is a beautiful poem of Rav Kook: All existence whispers to me in secret. I have life to offer. Take it, take it. If you have a heart and in the heart red blood courses, which despair has not soiled. But if your heart is dulled and beauty holds no spell to you, existence whispers: Leave me, leave. I am forbidden to you. If every gentle sound, every living beauty, stir you not to a holy song but to some alien thought, then leave me, leave, I am forbidden to you. And a generation will yet arise and sing to beauty and to life, and draw to light unending from the dew of heaven. And a people returned to life will hear the wealth of life's secrets. From the vistas of the Carmel and the Shomron, and the light of song, and life's beauty, the holy light will abound, and all of existence will whisper, my Beloved, I am permitted to you. Even in understanding the spaces that it comes from feels very real to me that it's just not possible to express the transcendent to hashem, like voice Hashem's oneness with all the blocks. Maybe the blocks have to be on one side, but there's a space, like everything is a microcosm of everything else—everything. So creating blocks within ourselves creates blocks within ourselves. Don't think that when you feel compelled to sing, because there could be a man's out there—whoa I'm blocked! You mean I can't express what I'm needed to express? Okay, but that moment…there's a lot of levels happening at the same time. Closed down.

GIVEAWAY Alert: Answer 3 questions linked below and stand a chance to win - https://forms.gle/J2h6mmtLQV3vsMrE9This week, The Musafir Stories speaks with a returning guest, Anirudh Kanisetti, as we discuss Ellora and his debut book, Lords of the Deccan!Today's destination: Ellora, MaharashtraNearest Airport: Aurangabad Airport, IXUNearest Railway Station: Aurangabad Railway station, AWBPrerequisites - N/APacking - Pack light, carry extra liquids as it can get hot during the dayTime of the year - Year round, except summersLength of the itinerary: 3-5 daysItinerary Highlights: Anirudh starts by explaining the orientation of the Deccan region, surrounded by the Vindhyas to the north, Western and eastern ghats to the west and east respectively and the Tamil country to the south. Anirudh also talks about the historical significance of the palace, a brief history of the rulers over time as well as the natural history of the DeccanWe narrow down on the Ellora cave temples, a set of over a hundred cave temples that date back to the 7th century built by Buddhists, Hindus and Jain patrons. 34 of those temples are now open to the public and offer a view into the architectural and engineering brilliance of that time. We discuss about the dominant Rashtrakuta empire who ruled the sub-continent during this time, were believed to be vassals/feudatories of the Chalukyan dynasty and had humble beginnings. Anirudh speaks about the magnificent Cave 16 or Kailashnath temple, believed to be inspired by the Kailash mountain, the abode of Lord Shiva. We speak about the backstory of how the temple is believed to have been constructed from a monolith and is the largest such structure during its time. The temple was constructed by excavating 2 million cubic feet of basalt rock, probably formed during the cretaceous era which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Anirudh gives wonderful descriptions of the architecture of the temple, some prominent sculptures as well as the sheer engineering and architectural brilliance of the builders. We cap off the episode by discussing other important temples of the complex, including Buddist and Jain caves/temples.

Christina Nelson interviews Kimberly Moses

Doi Saket Temple, Thailand recorded by Alex Boyesen.  "Doi Saket temple is situated on top of a steep hill in a small country town called ....Doi Saket! In the 15 years I have been here it has changed from a quiet backwater to a bustling market town.   "There are 3 Italian restaurants if you get bored with rice. Doi Saket is next to the A118 road which takes you directly to Chiang Rai and Mai Sai, also known as the Golden Triangle where Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet."   The transcript of the interview with a local temple visitor that you can hear in the recording is as follows:    “The temple it means a lot for the Thai Buddhists, even me because I'm a Buddist as well.    Many times when I feel upset or I feel something is not right to my life, I have to go to temple because it means something to me - it means a lot sometimes.    Normally offering the food to the monk, have a monk share it, or even doing meditation that could make me feel a lot better and also it makes me feel happy when you can do something for somebody else, you know, make a good thing for your life and for somebody else's life as well”.  Part of the 5,000 Miles project in partnership with Ithaca Studio, an immersive 360-degree audio experience that transports you to another place through the evocative sounds of places 5,000 miles from the UK through spatial audio technology and ambisonic 3D recording.  The project was an immersive live experience touring festivals in 2021, and is presented online via Cities and Memory at www.citiesandmemory.com/5000-miles.

We live in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming omnipresent. How do we build AI that doesn't simply replicate our biases and further perpetuate discrimination in hiring? Bill Duane, a tech leader, former Superintendent of Well Being and Sustainable Performance Development Programs at Google, and practicing Buddhist, serves as Strategy and Implementation Lead with the Center for the Study of Apparent Selves (CSAS). CSAS explores how Buddhist concepts hold the promise of addressing key AI issues, such as moral decisions, unexpected consequences, human flourishing, and comparing human and machine intelligence. Join Bill and Senior Counsel Michael O'Brien for a discussion of what AI is and how it can amplify the best of a company's values.

I don’t consider myself to be an artistic person, but the truth is, I never even try to do art, so how would I really know?  I think I was excited to try art and creative expression as a child, but during my pre-teens years, I realized that some activities come more naturally and easily to me--meaning I didn’t have to work that hard to be good at them--and others take more effort. So I decided I “wasn’t good” at those activities, and it wasn’t “worth my time” to even dabble in a creative hobby.  We live in a society that is obsessed with productivity and excellence, so we often don’t give ourselves permission to try new hobbies just because we want to or because they feel relaxing or fun. We want to know the outcome will be worth it! We want a finished product. We want a justification for the time and money we invest. Well today’s guest believes that the benefits of having a creative hobby go far beyond a beautiful finished product. Lisa Funk is the founder of HandLettered Design, the company that has sponsored 3 in 30 this month. Through their workbooks, online workshops & materials, HandLettered Design helps you learn the fulfilling hobby of handlettering, while also creating a meaningful mindset.  Lisa is a dear friend of mine who I admire immensely. She is a mother of 4 who struggled for years with depression and anxiety before discovering a variety of tools that have helped her reclaim her happiness and her mental health. One of the biggest tools that has helped her might surprise you...it’s creativity--specifically handlettering.  I can’t wait to hear from Lisa today as she teaches us why it’s valuable to have a creative hobby, even if we think we aren’t naturally creative or artistic, and how to go about turning your creativity into a mindfulness practice that will benefit your mental health.  -3 Takeaways on why to try a creative hobby-Create for the process, not because you’re good at it. It’s okay to love an activity just because it’s fun. You don’t have to be good at it now or ever. Remember the Buddist monks who spent days creating the mandala because of what the process taught them and those who observed them, and then released the final product into nature. Really, creativity can be a reminder that life is about becoming not producing.  Use your five senses to be present while you create. A creative hobby that occupies your body--whether that is handlettering, painting, sculpting, cooking, or gardening--can often allow your mind to settle down and focus. In this way, creative hobbies can become like meditations. Next time you are creating something, try to be really present with the physical sensations you are experiencing. Don’t judge the creation or worry about what other people think. Be aware of your thoughts as you go through the process of creating and notice if perfectionism sneaks in. Don’t judge that, just take note and remind yourself, “This is good practice for me to overcome perfectionism, a little each day.” I love that Lisa pointed out that there’s a mindful way to do creativity and a painful way to do creativity. Let’s choose to make our creativity mindful and restorative by leaning into the process instead of fixating on the product.  >>>Are you inspired to try a creative hobby?

On today's Apple Seed Extra, enjoy a story from Mark Binder called "The Dinosaur and the Bone."This tale is a fresh spin on Aesop's The Dog and Its Reflection, where a dinosaur carrying a bone sees his reflection in a river and gets jealous of his own image. This story has resonated with humans across time and space, creating slightly altered versions of the tale in Greek, Latin, French, and many other languages. In fact, there is a story very similar to this one that appears in Buddist scripture, where a jackal carrying a piece of meat plunges into the river after seeing a fish swimming in it. Despite the jackal's fiercest efforts, he is unable to catch the fish and returns to the shore only to find that a vulture has carried off his original piece of meat.

My guest today is Shukur Manaf. He is a 23 year old Rohingya refugee who's family is originally from Myanmar but who fled to Malaysia before Shukur was born. He is an incredible human being. He inspired me from the moment we sat down to talk. He is overwhelmingly optimistic, is so happy to be living in the US, and is thrilled to be able to help others. The history of Myanmar is very complex but is important to understand because of the current Rohingya refugee crisis .The following is an abbreviated version. The Rohingya are a Muslim, minority population of Myanmar that have historically lived in the western province of Rankine State, formerly known as Arakan.The first Muslims settled in that area alongside the Buddhists in the early 1400s. They were advisors and courtiers in the court of the Buddist king. But in the mid 1700s, an uprising in the south of Burma conquered that region causing many of the Muslim minority to flee for the lives to Bengal because Buddhist invaders were executing every Muslim man they saw.Burma was the name that the British colonizers gave to the region in the mid-18th century. There were many wars between the British and the Burmese. Territories were seized and recaptured by both sides. Great Britain owned India, neighboring Bengal and also desired Burma. The British encouraged many Rohingyas living in Bengal to settle in Rakhine State. The Buddhist majority did not like the many Muslim immigrants flooding their country. This was the beginning of ethnic and religious tension in Burma. The country gained independence from Great Britain in 1948. After several military coups in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, one General decided to rename the country Myanmar because it was more inclusive of minority ethnicities and more importantly was not the name given by their colonizers. There was much unrest in Rakhine state between WWII and the 1960s. During that time, the Rohingyas advocated for a separate country within Rakhine state. When the military eventually took power, they cracked down on the Rohingyas and denied them citizenship and defined them as stateless Bengalis. Since then, many have fled to neighboring Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia where they continue to live in limbo. They have become a stateless people.Refugee resettlement is a very complex and grueling 18-24 month security screening process before even arriving in the United States. Once they arrive, the refugees are matched with a local resettlement agency that helps them navigate their first few months. Admittedly, the focus of the U.S is to encourage the refugee to enter the workforce as soon as possible. Shukur laments his experience of resettlement and wishes that more time was dedicated to education so he could gain better employment. Studies in the European Union have shown that refugees who speak the local language at beginner level or less have an employment rate of only 27%, this more than doubles to 59% for those with intermediate language skills. References:Rohingya history: https://www.thoughtco.com/who-are-the-rohingya-195006Refugee Processing and Security Screening: https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-and-asylum/refugees/refugee-processing-and-security-screeningRefugee resettlement: https://www.state.gov/refugee-admissions/reception-and-placement/Refugee support services: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/refugee-support-servicesGetting refugees to work quickly: http://www.opennetwork.net/step-get-refugees-work-quickly/

Why is it so hard to say that someone died? We use the terms “passed away”, “departed”, “crossed over”, among others because we can't say died. Sallie Tisdale is a straight shooter.
