Great observations, Adam. I'm so glad I came across your writing and work!

Brother sliced from the same loaf of bread.

The experience from the clinic room is echoed in the study hall and in the National Library of Medicine. There is one big conversation brewing between clinical medicine, Kabbalah, and research.

Our state of physical well-being is a sea of information integrating all of our biological systems. And our embodied self and Default Mode Network is swimming in that sea of information, along with our thoughts, emotions, memories, and beliefs about ourselves. And so it goes, replaying the movie of our body, mind,and emotional identity every minute. So we deeply believe in our disease, our distress, our limitations.

Meanwhile, our transcendent self, our Neshama, is emanating through all of that, and hovering above it. It's waiting and begging us to open up our minds and witness a bigger Knowing. A bigger Knowing with a big "K". A bigger Knowing that offers to dissolve, transcend, and heal our deepest problems.

In our bigger transcendent knowing, we see how we share the pain and joy of life and we stop blaming ourselves and stop blaming each other. We give our energy to solutions that integrate the Big Knowing with all the small details. The small details that are begging to reveal the big Knowing.

I look forward to hearing more from you.

AMEN! Our DNA shows that we are fractals. One must wonder how beautifully organized everything is and why this is so. When we get right down to it, science reveals the truths that mysticism intuits.
