Kabbalah: The Study of Parallels and Holding Opposites, Seen and Unseen, Light in Darkness, Masks and Humanity with Melanie Gruenwald (Episode #90)

By Vision Beyond Sight on mindfulness, podcast, Spirituality, Vision Beyond Sight

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Melanie Gruenwald, Executive Director of Kabbalah Experience, to talk about Kabbalah and its mystical and philosophical study of parallels and holding opposites: the seen and unseen, finding light in darkness and finite within the infinite, the different masks of our identities, and crossing the borders of humanity. Melanie teaches how Kabbalah is not about religion, but the spiritual pursuit of living with greater awareness and connection to the people and world around us.

“Whatever our narrative is, there’s that one light energy that connects us all. Borders are man-made. Birds fly over borders. They don’t know that they’re crossing from one city or state or country to another. It just is. So how do we look beyond the borders and boundaries that separate us? Whether it’s race, class, gender, geography, religion. And I started a new class on A New Human Narrative and we started with Inuit Myths and looking at them compared to the mythology of the Bible. We have similarities and differences in all our stories but we’re all just trying to answer the same essential question of ‘Where did we come from and how did this all began?’” – Melanie Gruenwald
