A Tale of Two Souls - Likkutei Torah Ki Seitzei "Ki Siyenah" #2

How Do You Find Serenity? Does Religion Repress the Self?

This is a text based class on Likkutei Torah Parshas Ki Tezei Maamar "Ki Siyenah L'eish" #2. This class was presented during the week of Pinchas 5776, July 2016, in Or Chaim, Monsey, NY. This class explores the battle between the two souls in each human, and how the path to serenity can only come through allowing the Divine soul to become the mentor for the animal soul, not the other way around. It also explores the question if religion seeks to take you away from your sense of self, or to lead you to yourself? We explore the two forms of Divine energy, that which creates and embraces diversity, and that which challenges diversity, seeking transcendental oneness.
