Iyan and Spirituality

The spiritual realm serves as the fundamental basis for everything in the physical world. It is from this spiritual root that the first thoughts emerge, encompassing the purpose and reason for the existence of the physical realm. This concept is known as "inyan."

Our primary objective is to bridge the gap between the spiritual and the physical, achieving unity and connection. We accomplish this through an awareness and profound reverence (Awe) for the inyan, which represents the spiritual essence within physical matter.

The method of Torah learning provides a valuable framework for discovering the inyan. Interestingly, this approach applies not only to studying Torah but also to learning in the "secular" world. The process is remarkably simple and straightforward, merely involving the act of "looking it up." However, despite its simplicity, "looking it up" often proves to be one of the most challenging tasks for individuals in this world, primarily because we tend to cling to our comfort zones.

Many people are resistant to having their belief systems challenged or shaken. It is seemingly "easier" to dwell in a fantasy world or false reality, rather than seeking truth and understanding the inyan. Uncovering the truth requires us to break free from our accustomed patterns and make adjustments to our beliefs and physical world. This realization often brings discomfort, as it necessitates taking full responsibility for our actions, which is no easy feat.

Moreover, embracing the path of discovering the inyan means standing in opposition to the prevailing status quo. It involves crossing over into uncharted territories. This concept may sound familiar, as it echoes significant transformative journeys throughout history.

What we often fail to recognize is that this path leads to true freedom—a freedom from the bondage of ignorance. It is the road to success and genuine happiness, akin to reaching the promised land. This path unifies the spiritual and physical realms, connecting the world to come (olam haba) with the present world (olam hazeh). Importantly, this transformative journey not only transcends religion alone; it holds the potential to guide us towards the ultimate destination.

This understanding sheds light on the profound meaning behind the verse in Mishle (Proverbs) that states, "The fear (awe) of Hashem is the beginning of wisdom." When we recognize and embrace the awe of Hashem, the spiritual essence that permeates all of creation, we embark on the path of true wisdom. By cultivating reverence for the inyan, we open ourselves up to the vast knowledge and understanding that can only be attained through a deep connection with the spiritual realm.

In conclusion, the journey of Kosher Universal Spirituality involves acknowledging the root of everything physical is in the spiritual, unifying the two realms through the awareness of the inyan. Through Torah learning and the courage to seek truth, we can break free from the limitations of our own belief systems and find genuine freedom and happiness. By embracing the awe of Hashem, we lay the foundation for true wisdom and embark on a transformative journey towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The Purpose of this Blog

The purpose of this blog is ultimately the development of a book that I am planning to write and publish. The title is Kosher Universal Spirituality, Connecting directly to the God of Israel without converting to Judaism and without Religion I believe that there is a great need for the clarification of this topic for the benefit of the people from the nations as well as Jewish people because organized religion together with the internet has caused for much confusion on this topic. The idea is to attempt to undo this confusion and to help people discover their own path of kosher universal spirituality with no conversion or religion required.  Kosher in the title has nothing to do with Kashrut, but refers to the authentic legitimate spiritual path that is in the Torah and has been there since the creation of Adam and before. You are welcome to explore this journey with me. Comments and constructive criticism are welcomed

Introduction - Ger as the Kosher Universal Spiritual Path

Introduction to Ger as the Kosher Universal Path Ger, (poorly and wrongly translated as resident stranger), is an extremely important concept in Torah, as it emphasizes the inclusivity of this spiritual path. Ger is the individual who has made Kabbalah and committed to the yoke of Torah, joining him/herself to God, attaching him/herself to Israel, and rejecting all forms of intermediaries or shituf. This concept of Ger IS the Kosher Universal Path of the Torah-based spirituality that offers a path to connect with the Divine that is accessible and relevant to people of all nations, without the need to convert and without religion. The term "kosher" in this context does not refer to dietary laws (Kashrut), but to a spiritual path that is authentic and true to the teachings of the Torah. The term "Universal" implies that this path is open to all people, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or background. According to Torah, God chose Israel to be a light unto the n...

What humanity is truly in need of is Liberation from Religious Dependence

In the quagmire of human existence, religion has long been portrayed as a guiding light, offering solace, purpose, and community. Yet, beneath its veneer of sanctity lies a profound paradox—a trap ensnaring the minds of millions, stifling the very essence of independent thought. From the cradle, we are indoctrinated into belief systems that demand obedience and blind faith. We are taught to relinquish our autonomy, surrendering our critical faculties at the altar of tradition. But what if we dared to question? What if we dared to challenge the shackles of religious dependency? Religion, in its essence, is a construct of control—a tool wielded by the powerful to subjugate the masses. It preaches obedience and conformity, promising salvation in exchange for unwavering allegiance. Yet, beneath its façade of righteousness lies a sinister agenda—a suppression of individuality, a stifling of dissent. It is time to break free from the chains that bind us—to reclaim our autonomy, our sovereign...
