Paradox: The Kabbalistic Path of Expanding Consciousness
Kabbalah distinguishes a mature, broad and expanded consciousness from a small, childish and narrow-minded consciousness by one strength alone…it’s capacity to bear paradox.
Paradox #1: Why This? Why Now?
Paradox is a subject that is oft-discussed, but there is actually very little instruction about how, practically, to work with it. These 12 Illustrated Video Teachings (of 7 – 10 min. each) present paradox as a spiritual path and provide practical instruction about how to negotiate (and even embrace) paradox.
Paradox #2: The Mission
This Illustrated Video Teaching called, The Mission, provides insights and practical instruction on how to approach paradox in a way that enhances quality of life, promotes peace, deepens prayer and expands awareness.
Paradox #3: The Cosmic Roots of Paradox
“The Cosmic Roots of Paradox” explains why a deepening relationship with the Holy One requires us to grapple with ever more challenging dilemmas. Know, says kabbala, that each new paradox is a portal to higher consciousness.
Paradox #4: Introducing I-Centers
This Illustrated Video Teaching introduces the concept of I-centers—an extremely useful tool for sorting through the complexities of paradox. It is always good to build an idea from the ground up. In the next teaching (Part 5 or our series) we will examine the mystical origins of this concept as well as its practical applications.
Paradox #5: The Mystery and Application of I-Centers
This illustrated video teaching is the fifth installment in our series on Paradox. It explores the mystical underpinnings of I-Centers and how they interact to produce a whole greater than the sum of its parts. This 7 min. video ends with practical instructions about how to work with I-Centers that we find disagreeable.

Paradox #10: Varieties of Paradox
This video teaching, called Varieties of Paradox, is a summary of the different types of paradox that we encounter in the world. People were confused by the unruliness of the subject. This video provides a framework that organizes the complexity and makes it more manageable.
