The key to returning (teshuvah) to God-concious (awe) living is Mazal and Inyan.

Returning to a God-conscious way of living through the process of Teshuvah, or repentance, is a transformative journey that requires introspection and a deep reconnection with the divine. In this quest, two important concepts play a crucial role: Mazal and Inyan. Mazal refers to divine providence or destiny, while Inyan represents the purpose and significance of every aspect of life.

Mazal is often interpreted as luck or fortune, but in Torah thought, it goes beyond mere chance. It signifies the belief that our lives are guided by a higher power. Each individual is born with a unique destiny or Mazal, and while we have free will to make choices, our paths are ultimately guided by divine intervention. Understanding Mazal helps us see that our experiences and circumstances are not accidental, but part of a greater plan. Challenges and setbacks become opportunities for growth and spiritual transformation within the framework of Teshuvah.

Inyan, on the other hand, emphasizes purpose and significance. It teaches that everything in life has a deeper meaning and serves a specific purpose. By exploring and aligning ourselves with our personal Inyan as well as the inyan of everything we occupy ourselves with, we can identify where we may have strayed from our intended path or neglected our divine purpose. By rediscovering and realigning with our Inyan, we awaken a sense of awe and gratitude. We recognize the unique gifts and talents we possess and understand the impact we can have on the world around us.

Mazal and Inyan are intertwined in the process of Teshuvah. Mazal reminds us that our journey is guided and that divine providence plays a significant role in our lives. It gives us solace in difficult times and encourages us to view our mistakes as part of a greater plan, inspiring hope and perseverance.

Inyan empowers us to take responsibility for our actions and choices. It helps us recognize the purpose behind our actions and guides us to align our lives with our true calling. By integrating our actions with our Inyan, we unify the spiritual and physical realms. We elevate the mundane to the sacred by infusing intention, mindfulness, and awareness into our everyday activities. This unification deepens our connection with the divine, cultivating a sense of awe and gratitude.

Within Mazal, there are three pillars that hold significance: Chayim (life), Banim (legacy), and Mazon (sustainanance). Chayim represents a meaningful and purposeful existence, where we strive to live in accordance with our divine purpose. Banim signifies the responsibility to raise future generations with values and teachings that foster a God-conscious way of life. Mazon acknowledges the importance of material well-being and teaches us to balance our pursuit of wealth with ethical conduct and generosity.

In conclusion, returning to a God-conscious way of living through Teshuvah (returning) requires understanding and applying the concepts of Mazal and Inyan. Mazal reminds us of divine providence and the guiding hand of a higher power in our lives. Inyan teaches us that everything has purpose and significance, and by aligning our actions with our unique purpose, we unify the spiritual and physical realms. Through the integration of Mazal and Inyan, we embark on a transformative journey, deepening our spiritual connection, and living a life filled with awe, gratitude, and purpose, without religion.

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...
