Lesson Description

Kabbalists teach that the greatest barrier between ourselves and the Light of the Creator is not the doubts or ego we recognize, but the thoughts and beliefs we are certain are correct. Join Michael as he reveals how we can begin cleansing ourselves of these hidden falsehoods and open the path to true clarity and redemption.

About This Course

One of the major spiritual connections kabbalists make on the Shabbat is the reading of a weekly Bible portion. These consciousness lectures present lessons on each week's portion to elevate our consciousness and create awareness of the spiritual energy and gifts that are available through the reading of a Torah Scroll. With greater awareness and an awakened consciousness, we can connect to the Light revealed each week and use it as support in our ongoing spiritual work. This playlist contains consciousness lectures from the four most recent Shabbats.
