Quote of the Week 26 - True Worship, Imageless Prayer

"When one is truly worshipping God, he has no image in his mind. True worship of God is without any picture in the mind or notions in mind about the appearance or nature of God. To truly worship God without images is the Esoteric meaning behind the command – ‘thou shalt have no other images before me.’ God is an imageless prayer for man."

Quote of the Week 25 - Jewish Shamanism

"…the Jewish shamanic tradition …emphasizes the sacredness of the earth, and that all organisms, even stars and planets, are imbued by the Creator with a divine consciousness. Every blade of grass is empowered by a spirit being. All trees speak to one another, and all rocks and plants have healing powers that can be accessed through their spirits."
"Jewish Shamanism is …about a way of thinking, a way of being in the world, a way of consciousness that perceives magic in the ordinary, miracle in the "natural course of events." Where most people will be awestruck at the sight of a passing comet, the Jewish shaman will be awestruck at the sight of a fallen leaf."
From Magic of the Ordinary, Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism, by Rabbi Gershon Winkler
