Passover 5763 - April 16, 2003
The Escape Hatch
You're trapped in your life. Whichever way you turn, you encounter walls -- unshakable habits, antagonistic colleagues, elusive desires. There is a way out, but you're too big to squeeze through

Beyond Paradise
Word resounded throughout the supernal worlds: "Because Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov has forced the hand of heaven to overturn the laws of nature, he has forfeited his portion in the World to Come"

The Myth of Relaxation
A recent medical study shows that, contrary to common wisdom, relaxation does not reduce stress. Our ancestors learned this at the Exodus, when they discovered that transcendence is not the key to freedom

The Four Minute Barrier
Whenever one person attains a "success" -- a barrier surmounted, a limit exceeded -- a subliminal message is sent through the ether of space, creating a subconscious awareness and potential in everyone else

If I am not for myself, who is for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?
— Hillel (Ethics of the Fathers 1:14)

G‑d is found at two poles of Time:
He is found outside time and beyond.
And He is found here within the moment now.
From that point beyond time, G‑d looks within the moment now, and He says, “From this, I will have delight.”
With that choice, all of past and future is created anew.
