Building A Life Of Personal Wholeness And Joy
Rabbi Abraham Kook offers compelling ideas, deeply rooted in Kabbalah, that can empower us to “think good, so it will be good.” Join us as we explore Rav Kook’s fascinating models for cognitive reframing. This is not just another course - but an opportunity to make major strides towards greater personal wholeness and joy.
Breakdown of classes
1.INTRODUCTION TO COGNITIVE THERAPY, RABBI KOOK, AND COSMIC RETURN- Change and growth are difficult. They seem to require swimming upstream in the face of all manner of challenges. Rav Kook suggests an extraordinary rethinking of the inner momentum of all existence.
2.FAILURE AS SUCCESS- Failure to accomplish our goals is part of the human condition. Tragically, failure demoralizes us and breeds more failure. Rav Kook reframes “failure” has a source of positive empowerment.
3.THE CHALLENGE OF ENDS AND MEANS- We all have dreams that inspire us and lift our spirits, yet the means to accomplish those dreams is so often tasteless, dreary, and even painful. Rav Kook clarifies the relationship between ends and means.
4.NATURAL TESHUVAH- Taking stock of our physical health is not often perceived as an integral component of our spiritual life. Rav Kook asks us to reconsider.
5.THE POSITIVE ROOT OF THE NEGATIVE- We often view our failures as flowing from deep-seated defects in our personality and psyche. Rav Kook urges to dig deeper into those “defects” to reveal their divine root.
