Finding Joy in the Dark Moments

Freedom is one of the most cherished values in life. Personal freedom, political freedom, religious freedom… Much blood, sweat and tears have been shed for freedom; wars fought and lives lost in the name of freedom. Indeed, for thousands of years the world’s population was not free at all! We lived under monarchs, sometimes tyrants, always controlled by others. It’s only a recent phenomenon that we have freedom in our lives. But the big question is: Do you actually feel free? We may have all these freedoms around us, but are we enslaved internally? Is something holding us back? And the even bigger question is: What is freedom? How do we define freedom? Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for a fascinating pre-Passover discussion all about freedom. You can be physically free, free to roam about, not imprisoned behind tangible bars, but still be trapped and addicted emotionally and psychologically. Prison can take on many forms. Passover represents the exodus from bondage and slavery to any force and power within or without, and empowers us all with the ability and tools to transcend our obstacles, limitations and restrictions allowing us to spread our wings and be truly free.

Spirituality encompasses the ability to go beyond ourselves to experience higher states of consciousness and awareness.But is there a dark side to spirituality?

Every powerful force can create tremendous good or cause profound damage.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this important conversation and discover that with all the great and powerful experiences we are capable of - both on a cosmic and personal level - we must never forget that there is also "the other side", the darker side. Explore methods to not only preempt the negative energy but also learn to harness it toward the good.

Happiness is so crucial to life and yet often so elusive. Many people say, “If things are going well, I’d be happy.” The truth is: If you were happy, things would be going well! So how can we become happy? Is there a trick, a method to finding more happiness in our lives? Or are we destined to our predisposed disposition? Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this unique program on happiness. Discover that when you smile you can actually generate happiness. Scientific studies show that when you smile (even a fake one) your brain releases neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. Happiness is not just what happens to us, but it is actually what we create and initiate. We have the power to generate tremendous joy and happiness in our lives, despite our circumstances and vicissitudes. This life changing lesson will be sure to improve and transform the quality, joy and productivity in every aspect of your experience — from your daily routines to your bigger milestones.

A new frontier is upon us. Artificial intelligence has been talked about, written about and discussed in the form of predictions, prophecies and science fiction for centuries. Books have been written and movies produced foreshadowing a world driven and even controlled by robots and machines. But now we are actually experiencing it, living with it -- we have entered into a new era of AI that some are heralding as nothing less than a revolution, comparable to the greatest intellectual breakthroughs in history. With the development of ChatGPT, self-driving cars and so many new technologies, we have robots, machines and drones that are programmed to replace so many of our daily tasks. But not just mundane activities; we now have tools that can replicate and perhaps surpass the very process of human cognition. With our great minds, we have designed programs infused with human intelligence, experience and collective knowledge that are not simply covering menial tasks but can even channel creativity and the imagination. We put all that information into them and are not just getting facts and crunched results in return - we are also getting a process, a method; a seemingly mind of its own is emerging. So what does the future hold? Will machines ultimately take over and replace man? Are we headed toward a doomsday and apocalyptic scenario? Should we be putting a plan in place to save mankind from the invading technologies? Are we creating monsters that will come back to haunt us? Or will all these new developments elevate the human race to a whole new level of higher consciousness? Will these programs enhance our lives and help us reach unprecedented new heights? Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this revolutionary talk and discover a refreshing approach to channel and embrace the new frontier that is upon us. These new technologies compel us to revisit the very nature of intelligence, and indeed the very nature of being human. What is the role and purpose of the mind? What defines us as humans? By exploring the deeper dimensions of knowledge and intelligence, we can learn to appreciate how to properly use artificial Intelligence and all its hidden potential for greatness to help us actualize our higher calling.

How much potential do you have within you? Is there a way to release, access and actualize it? Today we know that every fiber of existence — even the smallest piece of matter — contains enormous amounts of atomic and nuclear energy. But to the naked eye and to our conscious senses and conventional tools, this energy is so concentrated that we have no awareness of it, and can’t even fathom its sheer power. Yet, we have developed methods, through nuclear fusion and fission, to produce unimaginable levels of energy. So too, you — each one of us — contains incredible power concealed and locked within your quantum supra-conscious. Please join Rabbi Jacobson in part 4 of a new revolutionary series as he presents time-tested methods on how to unlock the tremendous potential within you and how to channel it in your daily life. Discover 6 steps to unleash your supra-conscious and draw it into your consciousness. ***** This new 4-part series, How Consciousness is Born: 6 Steps from the Quantum Supra-Conscious to the Conscious, deciphers a 16th century kabbalistic text in the Pardes of the great mystic, R’ Moshe Kordevoro, describing the metamorphosis from the quantum supra-conscious to the conscious. In part 1 of this series, we took a journey through the six steps of this fascinating process — from the very conception of consciousness in their undefined, nebulous states, traveling along as these states take form and become more crystallized, ultimately evolving into the defined state of consciousness that we are aware of. In part 2 Rabbi Jacobson discussed how our pure, pre-birth supra-conscious can empower us to dispel the demons that haunt us. Our experiences — our traumas and joys, from the youngest age — embedded in our psyche, which impact our fears, joys, attractions and repulsions are all part of who we are and propel us along to reach our greatest heights. In part 3 we learned time-tested ways to draw from our supra-consciousness and transform our lives. This is no small feat. Doing so can allow us to open up new channels of awareness, while also freeing us from the toxins — pain and trauma — that may have polluted our inner psyches. ***** Do you ever wonder where consciousness comes from? It’s quite obvious that our conscious thoughts, feelings and experiences are just the outer tip of the iceberg. But what lies behind the curtain of our perception? Can we access it? Understanding the supra-conscious and how it impacts our lives is not simply an academic, psychological or even philosophical discussion. It affects all our activities and encounters, which are the surface expression of these subliminal forces within. So understanding how consciousness is born and its earliest roots, can help us revisit the source — the engine room of supra-consciousness — to perhaps charge and rewire our underlying neurons, to fire on new cylinders.

Are you able to access your supra-conscious (or unconscious, as it’s more popularly, though not necessarily accurately, known)? Ostensibly, it would seem impossible considering that the supra-conscious is an imperceptible and ethereal state — comparable to quantum-like indeterminism. However there are indeed methods to access and channel your supra-conscious into your consciousness. This is no small feat. Doing so can allow us to open up new channels of awareness, while also freeing us from the toxins — pain and trauma — that may have polluted our inner psyches.
