Zevi Slavin is a Hasidic Jewish mystic and content creator of the channel “Seekers of Unity”. Zevi grew up in Australia, moved to LA when he was eighteen, then NY, and Cape Town, South Africa. Now living in Israel, Zevi is an ordained rabbi dedicated to teaching about the beauty of Judaism, philosophy, world mysticism, and all of their many benefits. Zevi explains the unique contributions of Jewish mysticism within the world's mystic traditions—as we discuss, they integrate the legalistic with the ecstatic like no other tradition. They encourage the deification of the human being, and they sound a lot like the Upanishads! The mystic is not separate from God—that line is blurred! Outside of God, nothing else exists. Lastly, Zevi walked us through some of his daily practices, and how every aspect of his day is full of intention. His book recs are: “The Perennial Philosophy” & “The Doors of Perception” by Aldous Huxley “The Unity of Mystical Traditions” by Randall Studstill “Nonduality” by David R. Loy Stay looped in with Zevi & Seekers of Unity on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL9A83sJIYNAovCA92uaTRQ Subscribe to our Be Where How? Show channel: http://bit.ly/bewherehowshow

This week on The Buddhist Centre Online and the Dharma Toolkit we are marking Earth Day - all week long! Check out our specially commissioned mini-series of podcasts: "Hair On Fire: Using the Threefold Way of Ethics, Meditation, and Wisdom to Turn Toward Climate Change".Rounding off a week of Earth Day podcasts we're delighted to be joined by the series producer, Mary Salome, for a 'making of' special. Think of it as a kind of Director's Commentary on a fascinating year-long journey in sound. We hear Mary's own history with the issues around climate, and how her Buddhist experience gradually began to impact the ways she herself turned towards them. And how recording and editing the words of her friends – of people whose views she sometimes disagreed with – became a deepening practice of gratitude.Resources for this episodeAkuppa on Buddhism and EcologyBuddhist Action Month (BAM, Get involved in June!)Dhiramati's Collected Buddhafield PujasPujas used in Triratna around the worldCarbon ConversationsA Buddhist Response to the Climate Emergency(Ed.
