My next guest, Laura Berman, is a musician I’ve collaborated with for Jewish Kol Nidre services for many years. Raised culturally Jewish, she now practices a widely integrated form of spirituality.  She has a successful career as a singer/songwriter of inspirational music, and now works as the Music Director at Mile Hi Church, which is a New Thought Congregation.  New Thought, is a spiritual movement which began in the 1830s, teaching that God, or Infinite Intelligence, is everywhere, and that divinity dwells within each person.  They look to Jesus Christ as the way-shower who demonstrated perfect divine consciousness.  New thought draws on the accumulated wisdom and philosophies of diverse global cultures such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Islam, teaching that there are universal spiritual laws which can be found across all world religions and within science and psychology.

Psalm 23 Lyrics:

Adonai

Ro’i lo lo lo echsar

Be-friend me, guide me

You beside me there is nothing more I need … 

Nothing more I need

Cosi revayah

Ach tov v’chesed

Ach tov v’chesed yirdefuni

Your good Love runs through me

Moves me in grace, and in giving with all souls living

Nafshi yeshoveiv

Cosi revayah

Nafshi yeshoveiv

Cosi revayah … 

my soul is restoring, my cup overflowing…
