Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Ph.D., has a reputation for being perhaps the most unorthodox rabbi you've ever met! Growing up, his mother thought he might be the Messiah, while his father was convinced he was a luftmensch (air head). Air head, indeed! He earned rabbinical ordination from Hebrew Union College in order to preach his ideas in synagogues, and a PhD in contemporary Judaism from Union Graduate School in order to teach his ideas in universities.

Along the way, he’s taken Bodhisattva vows in Zen Buddhism, become a 32° Mason in the Scottish Rite, been initiated into the Ramakrishna Order of Vedanta Hinduism, joined the Theosophical Society, published three dozen books, has had his poems included in prayer books and hymnals around the English speaking world, and has walked the 12 Steps of Overeaters Anonymous more times than he can count.

His award-winning bestselling books fall into three categories: Biblical translations that make the Bible say what he wishes it would say; spiritual explorations that make spirituality all about practice rather than feelings; and recovery that reveals the central addiction of all humans—playing God— and the way to free oneself from it: realize God is playing you.

Well known for his quality scholarship and sacred spirit, he served for 20 years as the founder of Miami’s Temple Beth Or, where he experimented with new forms of Jewish liturgy and practice, combining his experiences with Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.

Before we love our fellow humans we need to love ourselves. We can’t give what we do not have.

[MegandLuna]

God align my eyes with your eyes, align my will with your will . Align my words with your words so I make speak words that are healing and of unconditional love ❤

[sandyrivera]

One of the biggest lessons I learned after my dark night of the soul which ended in an NDE was to love myself above everything and as love grows for me it grows for others and everything around me. We are all One!

[susansnyder]

I had to giggle at not liking the word “higher” power because it connotes judgment, yet preferring the word “greater” because it somehow doesn’t connote judgment (greater-lesser)? In my experience, higher refers to the energetic frequency at which something exists, not better than. But then again, I’m a science geek and the esteemed guest is not. Great conversation.

[alecbruyns]

"Be still, and know that I am God."

[joannwall]

Spiritually independent! I am so using that as my description of my beliefs moving forward. I loved this meeting of the minds. Really great!

[BeWellwithT]

Holy Rascal. I’ve never connected with another Title, more. ❤

[rastislavbrodziansky]

The safest option is not to worship anybody. There is no need for worship, nor we are supposed to. The only thing it does, is taking our attention away from where it should be directed to, ourselves.

[annabellegettingwell]

I absolutely love this man! His sense of humor and life is amazing. I could listen to the two of you for hours!

[annasaylor]

I loved this; the Rabbi is so refreshing and I love his prospective on religion and tribalism.
Thank you Alex ☮️🕯️❤️🌹🦋 blessings

[carolyncarlson]

First nations drum is said to be the heartbeat if that helps

[scottyphilip]

I always resonate with some things the guests say. Take with you what you feel is true and leave the rest. Thank you Alex

[somadevo]

In Sanskrit there's an essential concept often overlooked as conclusions can disguise possibilities. This concept is stated as " Achinta Beta Beta Tattva" which means One and Separate Simultaneously. The Supreme Personality of Godhead certainly orchestrates all the meaning in life and our souls are sparks of The Infinte Whole Divine Being created from the entirety of the combination of Infinite Love and Absolute Truth, adopting roles in The Divine Plan. Surrendering to The Supreme brings forth the knowing granted from Our Divine Source. No one can reveal Krishna. He reserves that Capability for Himself as He Sees Appropriate. May Loving Kindness create Harmonious Unity for All Beings.

[maryblanchett]

I'm with him. God is everything and I will never fear it but, instead respect it. Energy blends and flows in and around us

[floranlehmann]

Truly one of the best thought provoking talks. Unconditional LOVE to all listeners

[sunray]

We are not responsible for taking in the whole world either. The leaders in charge of these individual countries need to be responsible for providing a good place to live for their citizens.

[bobbrownintruth]

@16:50 Montras are vibrational declarations... in the teachings of Christ conciousness from Paul Selig/Melchizideck, we use montras, so this is not just Jewish practice. When I speak the montras now I begin to vibrate, when I speak truth of who and what I am; how I serve; I vibrate. Montras are felt at a heart level and give power to the emotional aspects of the words in action as a vibrational tone. They envoke the true power of what we are in mind, body and soul. VERY powerful!

[carolynmartin]

I absolutely adore you Alex!! Thank you so much for this pod cast! It’s been life changing for me
Bless you

[ritagoodhead]

Thank you Alex for this wonderful presentation. I agree with the oneness of everything.

[daisyguerra]
