What were your professional beginnings like and what led you down this spiritual path in life?
My journey began in the vibrant music scene of Los Angeles, where I expressed my early passions and joys through music. I enjoyed some success with my band, touring and making music that reached a wide audience. However, a profound spiritual awakening redirected my path radically. At the age of twenty, I made the difficult decision to leave behind my dream of a music career to seek deeper truths. This quest led me to Jerusalem, where I immersed myself in the study of Torah, Kabbalah, and Chasidut. These studies have been pivotal in shaping my spiritual teachings and my mission to share the transformative power of unconditional love and higher consciousness. My experiences in music and spirituality, though quite different in their nature, together weave a rich tapestry of understanding, allowing me to connect with a diverse audience on a deeply personal level – for that I am deeply grateful.
As a spiritual teacher, what are some key ideas and principles you base your work on?
We all search for the same thing: The experience of love, joy, and peace. But joy is your nature. We’ve just lost touch with the truth of who we are. Thus, the essential teaching of all teachings is about a return to Higher or Inner Self, a reflection of the One, God, or Universe. This primarily happens through letting go of false ideas we accepted and agreed to in our youth or internalized through life experience. Returning to the purity of the present moment and surrendering our attachment to certain ideas that we perceive to give us permanence and identity allow us to step into a reality that is without fear and desire that keep us trapped in a material pursuit. These teachings aim to catalyze this transformative journey, helping individuals shed layers of misconception to reveal their intrinsic, beautiful selves. Live what you love, love what you live, and let everything else go.
What is the process of guiding an individual spiritually? Are there some key phases or steps that the person needs to go through and how much does it differ from person to person?
Of course, guiding anyone spiritually is a unique experience by definition, and yet there are definitely overlapping themes and stages that everyone seems to experience. For example, there is a Hasidic spiritual principle that says that there first needs to be a healthy ego for someone to transcend the ego. Therefore, someone who has very low self-esteem will generally need to develop self-worth before they can drop the idea of needing self-esteem altogether. There are a number of ways you can look at and breakdown the phases of spiritual growth. One of the paradigms I utilize is the following three phases: (1) Being caught in the noise of your mind, or what we might call being caught in the ego. (2) The movement towards quiet and inner peace. The mindful awareness of awakening to what is true objectively and non-judgmentally. (3) Drawing energy, insight, and direction from a higher and deeper light from a place of clarity and stillness. All three of these phases require a nurturing environment and ongoing support, as each person’s journey is deeply personal and varied in its duration and intensity. No two journeys are the same, but the destination is one for all. A reconnection with Self.
What can people hope to learn through your 5-week Digital Course “5 Steps To Manifesting And Co-Creating Your Life”?
The 5 Steps to Manifesting Course can be done over 5 days or over 5 weeks, but what it provides is a practical, comprehensive, and demystified approach to living the life you want to live. The course challenges your beliefs, lays out an approach to help guide the listener towards shifting their perception of self and the reality they are living, move beyond fear and doubt, and clarify what they truly desire. There are also accompanying daily exercises and meditations to help facilitate spiritual growth. The numerous testimonials for this course certainly speak to the nature that people are in fact living happier and receiving the blessings they’ve wished for. To be a part of someone else’s miracle is a gift I don’t take for granted and appreciate deeply. Participants emerge from this course not only with new insights and aspirations but also with practical tools and strategies to make those dreams a reality.
As a successful author, what books have you written and what are they about?
I have three published works, Succos Inspired, It’s All The Same To Me, and The Three Conditions. Succos Inspired is a book that goes into the depth and inspiration found in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot celebrated in the fall. The language is geared towards a primarily orthodox audience. It’s All The Same to Me and The Three Conditions are both spiritual self-help books with the intention of guiding the reader towards an elevated and awakened life. The difference between the two books is both in size and content. It’s All The Same To Me is a shorter book that gives simple and yet profound truths based on the idea of Hishtavus or spiritual equanimity.
Life lived in this state is experienced through a non-judgmental and loving perception of reality. I see it as more the end, whereas The Three Conditions is more intimately connected to my life journey and the process of working towards this higher state of consciousness. It lays out the Three Conditions one can tune into to live a life that is infused with higher vibrational energy. That in terms leads to heightened awareness of synchronicities and goes so far as saying that miracles are not only possible but natural. Each book, though unique in its focus, expresses profound lessons and realizations from my own spiritual journey, offering readers a path to discover and engage with the mystical and transformative aspects of their own lives.
