Yesod Blocks: Foundational Torah episodes:

February 15, 2022 Ep #34: Mitzvot, Commandments and Choice
There are no needs outside of the context of particular wants. A mitzvah is a choice, one through which you can "groupify" yourself with the Metzaveh, the Director of being.

February 14, 2022 Ep #33: Thoughts, Words and Stacks
Our thoughts are gateways, bridges between the worlds of our perceptions (de'ot) and of our words. Our words serve as a externalizing feedback mechanism so we can observe our own thoughts in real time, assessing their accuracy. The brakhot we say to connect Torah to Hashem in our awareness can link thoughts or words to Hashem, in a profound paradigm-shifting process.

February 11, 2022 Ep #32: Automatic Melakha
Melakha has three parts. It requires the application of our consciousness (neshama) to the material world. It requires that the application of consciousness leads to higher order organization in the material world. Lastly, it requires that the higher order state is permanent. We begin to explore the world of Melakha more deeply in this Erev Shabbos episode.

February 10, 2022 Ep #31: Souls, Writing and Materializing
Simple halakhot on the surface... There is a mountain of underlying thought hidden beneath the waves.

February 09, 2022 Ep #30: Gemara, Mishna, Torah
More details on understanding what Gemara, Mishna and Torah learning are, and how they work... Sometimes we categorize Torah "areas" in order to make Torah more accessible and consumable, but if we forget to reconnect those categorized parts, we truncate the Torah and lose its purpose and meaning.

February 08, 2022 Ep #29: Torah and Insidious Da’at Tov VaRa
Torah is the antidote to the poison of the Etz HaDa'at. But what if the antidote itself gets infected? What if learning Torah stops working, as a result of our distorted perceptions. There are ways to repair this damage, but it requires first becoming alerted to the problem.

February 07, 2022 Ep #28: Hashem, Torah and Brachot
The brachot we say prior to learning Torah are unique. They are designed to solve a problem that Jews all over the world are grappling with right now. "What is Torah, and how do I relate to the idea of learning it?" I receive this question more often than almost any other question. The answer is staring us in the face...

February 04, 2022 Ep #27: Friday Afternoon
Days have phases and energies. As the sun turns toward its descent, the energy of the day begins to change. On Friday, that change drives consciousness expansion (neshama yeteira) and reduction of melakha.

February 03, 2022 Ep #26: Halacha is 5% of Torah
Halacha is the outer shell, the practical expression of the inner world of who you truly are. It is 5% of Torah, and the other 95% is the map of your internal "becoming."

January 31, 2022 Ep #25 Male and Female
There is nothing new under the sun. The Torah maps out the risks and dynamics that exist between the sexes. The toxic capacity of the Etz HaDa'at makes it hard for us to see each other clearly. Learning to appreciate the differences and wanting to unite with each other is the purpose of the morning brakhot we say about male and female.
