Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks
Teacher and Founder of Torah of Awakening, The Jewish Path of Presence.
FROM THE TEACHER:
As a teenager, after some early dabbling in various mystical practices and some training in Transcendental Meditation, I was struck by the writings of Martin Buber. Buber spoke of the essence of Judaism and Hassidism as a lived reality, beyond the dogmas and legalities of codified Judaism.
Soon after I experienced a “spiritual awakening” in which the question mark of life seemed to be transformed into an exclamation point. My personal struggles all dropped away, and I seemed to be filled with "light." That "light" was kind of like love, kind of like bliss, but more basic than either – like the stuff from which love and bliss are made.
The experience only lasted a few weeks, however, and that is when the journey to recover the simplicity and directness of that perception began.
In 1998, I experienced a second awakening which caused a lasting shift and opened the door to that simple and liberating openness I now wholeheartedly share with others like you.
I look forward to meeting you!
All blessings,
Reb Brian Yosef
