 WHAT IS G-D?

This lesson begins our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 1:1-6).

G-d is not simply a religious concept;
IT is also a scientific reality.

How can this be? It depends upon how we understand what exactly G-d is.

This lesson delves into the meaning and nature of just what is Primordial Existence and what it has to do with us.

This lesson also shows us how the author Maimonides, lauded as leader of the rationalist movement was also very well versed and experienced in the mystical lore.

G-D, The Experience


This lesson continues our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 1:10-12).

G-d is not a concept...  It is an experience...

This lesson discusses how G-d is experienced in human consciousness through the vehicle of symbols and metaphor.

This lesson discusses the sin of eating the fruit of the symbolic the Tree of Knowledge, the sin of the Golden Calf, and how these events handicapped human consciousness from properly experiencing G-d.

The Wonders in Creation

This lesson continues our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 2:1-3).

We are commanded in Torah to love and fear G-d, yet how can one love and fear something that is no more than an abstract concept?

This lesson discusses how RaMBaM directs us to contemplate nature and to learn from the natural order the Presence and Wisdom of the Primordial Intelligence.

Communion with nature is the path to experiencing G-d.

Yet, there is more to nature than meets the eye.  RaMBaM discusses those parts of nature we experience directly and those parts that we do not.

This lesson also begins discussion on RaMBaM's discourse about angels; who they are and what they are.

All About Angels

This lesson continues our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 2:4- 8).

RaMBaM states that all angel encounters are purely non-physical events.  Yet, not everyone agrees with RaMBaM on this.

There are numerous different races of angels and the correct term to describe them all is extraterrestrial.

Angelic entities interact with human beings all the time; some through a type of virtual reality and others which are rather corporeal.

This lesson describes the true nature of these many entities, with emphasis on the ways and means of their interactions with us.

Knowledge and Knowing

This lesson continues our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 2:9-12).

What is the true nature of Knowledge... what does it really mean "to know" something?

Knowledge is not simply information, it is something much more.. it is touching the life-force and essence of the other...

G-d is the Singularity within all... therefore G-d is the Knowledge, He is the Knower and what is known...

Experiencing, Meditating = Path to True Knowledge...

This class discusses RaMBaM's definition to the secrets of the Ma'aseh Merkava

Mechanics of the Mazal
This lesson continues our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 3:1-9).

How & why astrology works... what is its true purpose and limitations...

The soul picks one's mazal, the stars does not pick the person...

Mazal is a psychological mirror into the soul's purpose and destiny in coming to this world in this life time.

Planets and stars are sentient living beings, who know themselves, know us and know their Creator.

This lesson begins RaMBaM's explanation on his understanding of the secrets of Ma'aseh Bereshit.

Prophecy 3
This lesson continues our series in the

Laws of Torah Foundations
by Maimonides

(Y.T. 7:5-6).


This lesson specifically details the prophetic stature of Moshe Rabbeynu, and how he was the greatest prophet of all time.

This stature did not come about haphazardly. Moshe was taken to another "place" off our world in order to there receive the Torah.

Something happened to him there; he was changed, altered down to the cellular level. He ascended as a mere mortal human being and descended as something transformed.

Torah states that his skin glowed and that his mind was in a constant state of union with HaShem. He no longer needed the prophetic trance, his whole life was one of connection.

This lesson discusses these things in detail and more. It is an excellent compliment and part 3 continuation in our discussion of the parameters of prophecy.
