Event
A Pre-High Holy Day Walk Through the Four Worlds
Join us as we travel through the Four Worlds and engage in a process to eliminate the Klippot that inhibit and obstruct our spiritual growth to prepare ourselves for living life of divine inspiration. To do so we will consider the concept of _Vayikra_ in the first world, the World of Action. God asked Adam "Ayecha? (Where are you?)" not because he didn't know where Adam was but because the Divine wanted Adam to know where he was, what his values were. We will look at what is important in our lives and pick one area in which to cultivate a higher expression of our innate Godliness.
Via the Second World of Emotion, Feelings, Reaction, we will identify areas of negativity and automatic responses to emotional triggers for an individualized spiritual accounting. Our goal is to eliminate "hardheartedness" to develop compassion and equanimity.
In the Third World of Thought, we will examine old beliefs and misguided thinking in the context of Ego and discover how thoughts impact feelings which impact actions. Clarity of mind is our goal.
Finally, in The Fourth World of Spirit, we will do a spiritual assessment to determine where we are in our relationship to Divinity. We will focus on developing a dialogue with God, and learning skills which enable us to live more fully in God consciousness. Each section will involve a mediation, an exercise and a Yoga pose.
