Heretical, Psychedelic, Hybridistic, Kabbalistic Jewish Mysticism: Embodying Multiple Realms
At the fringes of Jewish and adjacent mystical traditions, there are distinctive teachings of great value, if we can excavate them responsibly. Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson will discuss several of these distinctive teachings, including the meaning of Jewish enlightenment... the grammar of psychedelic experience... transgressing and respecting boundaries... transforming particularism... and integrating hybridity with depth, embodying mysticism and spiritual insights with evidence, reason, and science.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The little-known Jewish, Kabbalistic, Sabbatean, and Hasidic mystical teachings, together with ways to translate, adapt, and embody them today
- New ways to confront conspirituality, narcissism, particularism, and spiritual fundamentalism while affirming the insights of peak experiences and spiritual practice
- A distinctive conception of enlightenment as a dynamic oscillation between realms, Divine/human points of view, social locations, and levels of reality
