Lesson Description

We often wonder why, if we are spiritual, we still struggle with negative thoughts and behaviors of a lower nature—shouldn’t we be beyond that? Michael reveals that the parts of ourselves we struggle with most are not obstacles, but the very purpose for which we are here. We learn that true fulfillment comes not from spiritual connection alone, but from the constant work of transforming our lowest nature into Light.

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.
