In times of distress, be it the magnitude we are experiencing in Israel, or a personal crisis, a set of reactions causes us, in Gendlin’s words: “to break back to a more primitive level”. During these times we become less able to expand our consciousness and certainly not to enter the field of prayer.

But during these times, prayer can rise in different ways and from different places of the soul.

In times of trouble, beyond the pain and the shock we experience, it is possible to be aware and recognize that the crisis uncovers ‘something’ that no longer works. ‘Something’ is over. Patterns, norms or habits that we could ‘get along with’ or accommodate yesterday, no longer work. This frail state is indeed dark, but if we are awake to it and ready to create our life from a new source – it can contain within it an emergence of a new life possibility.

We want to suggest that beyond all understandable emotions and humane reactions, we must also be concerned with deliberate processes, so that when these times shall pass, we do not inevitably return to previous patterns and normal consciousness. Prayer can be the place where deep processes of this kind can gradually happen.

“There are times when reality hits us with force and shatters our perception of reality that we have held onto, and with it collapses/cracks/undermines the earlier consciousness. During twilight, one is left embarrassed and confused, filled with uncertainty and asking for a new understanding that can clarify the reality that has been revealed. We have no choice, a new consciousness asks its way. This consciousness is the ‘hidden Torah’ inside the events of life. A new Torah that emerges from the darkness and the unknown. A Torah that is learned without words in the processes of transformation that emerge in the darkness.” Rabbi Pedia Nagar

In this course we want to offer a model that is both new and ancient. A model that allows new life processes to occur. A model that, throughout generations, has been given different names. One such name, and perhaps the most central one,  is the “Prayer consciousness”.

This model contains deep wisdom about consciousness processes, unique ways of relating to reality, and the knowledge of how to develop the ability to be  co-creators in creation.

This course covers the following topics:

  • Different types of prayer in times of need, their special meaning, and the states of consciousness from which they arise
  • Pristine consciousness
  • Malchut (royal) consciousness that has nothing of its own
  • What is dynamic consciousness and the process consciousness
  • How to be the revelation of the Divine within a situation
  • How to carry forward the ‘new’ that seeks to be born, without hindering it with opinions
  • How to expand the ability to suspend a position, opinion, ideology
  • How to be a co-creator with the creator even in times of difficulty
