In this episode, Rabbi Benjamin Rofeh joins us for a deep and insightful conversation on the connection between trauma and the story of Adam’s fall from the Garden of Eden. We explore how ancient wisdom can help us understand the human condition, the nature of suffering, and the spiritual path to healing. Join us as we uncover the Kabbalistic perspectives on how this foundational story shapes our personal and collective struggles.

It is important to know that all the dimensions and all creatures that inhabit those dimensions were created through permutations of the holy names. The supernal root of all these names is the יהוה. This distinct name is often refered to as Hashem (The Name), Shem Hameforash (The Special Name), and Shem Hakadosh (The Holy Name), and represent the eternity of God. The four letters that make up יהוה correspond to the four directions, four seasons, four archangels, and four upper worlds, known as Atzilut (Emanation), Beriah (Creation), Yetzirah (Formation), and Assiyah (Action).
Can happiness actually be the purpose of life? The reality is that happiness is fueled by pleasure (a type of momentary satisfaction), which, in the long run, might distract a person from recognizing and attaining what they're truly looking for: to be free and at peace. Discipline is the path to freedom.

It’s no one else’s job to motivate you to take initiative over your life.
Yes—motivation can come from both internal and external factors. If you depend on a third party or an external source to motivate you to do something, it might work in the short-term, but what will you do when that external source is no longer there? The motivation will stop. External motivation does NOT last or, at least, loses its effectiveness over time.
On the other hand, motivation that is aroused from WITHIN is a more effective, self-sustaining, long-term method for achieving goals and completing tasks *in a way that makes you feel fulfilled*.

Even in response, we will still experience reactions. But rather than letting our hardwired programs take control...
To respond, we must
(1) PAUSE
(2) OBSERVE &
(3) CONTEMPLATE
… the best next move to bring the situation back into a state of order.
The words in this audio are by Maria Consiglio, a therapist specializing in relationships and personal growth.

Spiritual energy is a "higher force" that defies measurement and thus is distinguished from the scientific forms of energy. [Tags: soul, existence, earth, death, live, living, spirit, spirituality, spiritual, self-improvement, destiny, karma, energy]

Pause everything for a second and ask yourself: why are we here? People will say, “the meaning of life is to be happy,” and while happiness is something we should all strive for, is that really it? We all go to school to get educated → to get a job and make money → to be able to support our family → so our heritage can live on. We all have unique paths to find along our journey to being happy, but everyone always ends up in the same boat together—dead and forgotten. This entire process of life takes the average person 72.6 years. So, the sole purpose of our existence is to maybe achieve 72.6 years of temporary happiness? Ya, right. What’s really going on here? THIS is exactly what we will be focusing on in these podcasts. We will interview people from all different walks of life, belief systems, and professional backgrounds, including scientists, astrophysicists, and spiritual leaders, and listen to their explanation of the question: What is our purpose here on Earth? It's time to get Lifted! [Tags: truth, soul, earth, death, live, spirituality, spiritual, self-improvement, destiny, karma, energy]
