In this surprise-topic conversation, Rebbe Dr. Marc Gafni takes us deep into the esoteric and magical threads of Kabbalah- first confirming that magic is real- exploring how invisible forces connect all things and how we can participate in them through intention, devotion, and love.Moving beyond *only the realm of* spells and mysticism, Marc reveals how magic manifests in everyday moments: a dinner party where everyone comes alive, a comedian generating waves of collective laughter, or the courage to walk across life's narrow bridges without fear. He distinguishes between sacred magic—which creates wholeness * and blessing* catalyzing everyone's highest Unique Self—and black magic, which fragments and diminishes and curses*The conversation ventures into profound territory: Why did faith in protective magic fail some Jewish communities during WWII? How does magic operate alongside other cosmic forces? What role does prophecy and the divine whisper (Lehishah) play in our lives? Marc shares validated stories of inexplicable protection during wartime while maintaining brutal intellectual honesty about magic's place in a multi-dimensional reality.At its core, this dialogue explores how we access magic through "outrageous love". which is the courage that comes from keeping our hearts ripped open, staying in conversation even when it's difficult, and blessing rather than cursing. Marc shows* that tears are *elixirs of magic* —* magical rivulets*of ecstasy, empathy, and connection—are the most direct access point to the magical dimension of existence. | Dr. Marc Gafni |Substack: https://substack.com/@marcgafniInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/marcgafni/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MarcGafniTwitter:https://twitter.com/MarcGafni Whole Mate: the Future of Relationshipshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4PZ9V5B/Join the revolution: https://www.centerforworldphilosophyandreligion.com/jointherevolutionThis episode is sponsored byMetal Mark Golden Collectable Art | https://mtlmrk.com/Korrect Energy | https://korrectlife.com/Hone Health | https://shorturl.at/JvhAJ| Aubrey Marcus |Website | http://bit.ly/2GesYqi Instagram | http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO Facebook | http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk X | http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAdSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus newsletter:https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/emailTo partner with the Aubrey Marcus PodcastSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:iTunes | https://apple.co/2lMZRCn Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt IHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3

This episode continues the practical series on the Inner Villain system by breaking down how to communicate with each villain type. Kristina and Anna pull from real life, therapy, and relationship work to translate a complex shadow-work system into clear tools you can use with partners, friends, coworkers, and family.Before the communication section, the episode also covers:• Purpose vs meaning• Why your purpose isn't defined by you• How creation works when it's not about control• A new metaphor for the 9 Villains as phases in the lifecycle of a flowering plant• Why people “get stuck” in certain villain phases• What it means to grow in order vs out of orderEPISODE BREAKDOWN00:00 — Opening & Check-InKristina and Anna reconnect after a break from recording.They talk somatic healing, practical implementation struggles, and the tension between “etheric narrative work” and real-life applicability.05:00 — Purpose vs MeaningAnna shares insights from her Kabbalah class:• Meaning is personal interpretation.• Purpose is assigned externally (source, God, universe).• You don't get to define your purpose. Others and life events reveal it.Kristina connects this to Viktor Frankl, creation without attachment, and Buckminster Fuller's idea that purpose arrives at a perpendicular angle to your intentions.13:00 — BREAKTHROUGH DREAM: The 9 Villains as the Life Cycle of a Flowering PlantKristina shares a liminal-space dream that reframed the entire Villain System through the natural growth stages of a plant.A concise map:Obedient Critic — Seed. Rules, inherited limitations, instruction set.Vengeful Martyr — Cotyledon (baby leaves). Self-generated energy. Doing everything alone.Vain Controller — True leaves + root establishment. Channels, resources, trust.Eternal Child — Explosive growth, abundance, chaos.Evasive Expert — Balancing inputs. Regulating water/light.Divisive Immortal — Flowering. Death, risk, community, cross-pollination.Hungry Shapeshifter — Seed production. Creativity, potentiality.Righteous Bully — Seed release. Letting go. Not controlling outcomes.Invisible Destroyer — Desiccation / return to soil. Crone, surrender, dissolution.Use it to locate yourself. If you're “stuck,” look at the developmental stage you skipped.41:53 — PRACTICAL SECTION: COMMUNICATING WITH EACH VILLAINThis is the part listeners asked for. Clear, real-world communication strategies, conflict prevention tools, and repair patterns for each villain.1. The Obedient Critic (OC)Rule-set oriented, easily offended, perfectionistic, rigid.Preventive strategies:• Exchange rule-sets explicitly. Ask: “What does X mean to you?”• Agree on shared relationship rules or a “contract.”• Avoid assuming your interpretation matches theirs.• Overshare context up front to avoid catastrophic misinterpretation.During conflict:• Use permissive, soft entry language: “Could we try…?” “Maybe we consider…?”• Validate their meaning first: “I see how in your world this means X.”• Never say “You're wrong.” Reframe instead: “In my world, this means something different.”2. The Vengeful Martyr (VM)Energy-banker, does everything alone, keeps score, collapses into exhaustion.Preventive strategies:• Do not exploit their over-functioning.• Build real competence in the areas they normally shoulder alone.• Remove responsibility from them physically (take the kids out of the house, run point on meals, etc.).• Combine gratitude + competent action.During conflict / meltdown:• Open with: “I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.”• Listen. Don't defend. Don't reason.• Offer immediate relief from responsibility.• After they calm: reduce the systemic over-responsibility that created the blowup.3. The Vain Controller (VC)Status-driven, work-driven, image-driven, terrified of betrayal.Preventive strategies:• Avoid competition or one-upping.• Celebrate small vulnerability when they offer it.• Keep your promises. No exceptions.• Reward their hard work in tangible, visible ways.During conflict:• Acknowledge the breach directly: “I recognize I broke a promise here.”• Use “I will work harder” language.• Outline concrete steps you will take to restore trust.• Don't joke about their insecurities. They will not take it well.4. The Eternal Child (EC)Dream-logic, confabulation, entitlement, dramatic swings.Preventive strategies:• Set clear expectations + consequences. Consistency matters more than anything.• Bring in practicality without shaming their dream-side:“I love your vision. Let's anchor it with two practical steps.”• Give them structure, timelines, and follow-through.During conflict / tantrum:• Do not debate their story. It won't land.• Provide grounding: “I'm here. I'm not abandoning you.”• Hold consistent consequences afterward.• If they escalate to destructive behavior: remove yourself and hold the boundary firmly.ClosingNext week: Part 3, continuing through the remaining villains (Evasive Expert → Invisible Destroyer) with more scripts, tools, and examples.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Weekly Energy Boost, Elisheva Balas and Eitan Yardeni explore one of the most essential Kabbalistic teachings — the battle between our two inner voices. Each of us is guided by both the soul, our divine self, and the opponent, the ego or reactive self. The wisdom of Kabbalah reveals that learning to distinguish between these voices is the foundation of spiritual mastery and lasting fulfillment.Discover practical tools for recognizing the subtle tricks of the ego, breaking free from autopilot reactions, and strengthening the voice of your soul — the one that leads to growth, peace, and miracles. You'll understand why effort is the key to holiness, why inner struggle is essential for creation, and how to turn jealousy, anger, or fear into opportunities for elevation.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.

The crucial act of sleeping has become an automatic routine: at the end of the day you fall exhausted into bed without giving it any thought.

Discover the biology of your sleeping body and learn soothing mantras to enhance lucid dreaming and calm your mind. Reclaim the privacy that sleep allows to rediscover your intuition and foster a holistic renewal of the self. This book shows how to take ownership of your nightly rest and transform it into a sacred retreat.Cynthia Zak is a ceremonialist, master in yoga and meditation, author of five books, and a singer-songwriter with over 150 published songs and melodies. She is a researcher in the science of sound as medicine, a HeartMath Institute therapist, birth doula and end-of-life doula, and founder and director of the Yomu Institute.

In this morning's class, Rabbi Bernath explored the timeless lesson hidden in a sleepy Midrash. When Rabbi Akiva saw his students dozing off, he woke them not with rebuke, but with revelation: the story of Queen Esther's 127 provinces, mirroring the 127 years of Sarah's life. From this, the Chedushei HaRim teaches that Sarah lived every moment so fully that each second became a kingdom of its own. Rabbi Akiva's message? Every moment we “sleep through” is a world lost. Through humor, wisdom, and a dash of Churchill's charm, Rabbi Bernath reminded us that time is not money, it's life itself.Takeaways:Every Moment Matters: Like Sarah, each of us has the power to turn seconds into significance.Wakefulness Is Spiritual: Falling asleep… literally or metaphorically means missing the miracle of now.Time Is Life, Not Money: The Rebbe taught that time is not a commodity but a living gift. Use it with purpose.Presence Is Royalty: Esther's reign flowed from Sarah's lived time; our own “reign” depends on how awake we are to our days.Humor and Holiness Coexist: Even Churchill and Rabbi Akiva knew that a good laugh can wake up the soul.#Kabbalah #chassidus #Judaism #Jewish #jewishmysticism #time #presence #purpose #life #chabad #spiritualgrowth #Spiritual #chassidut #kabala #sarah Sign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: https://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=89Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
