Abraham's Journey: Transformation of Guilt into Unconditional Love
from Julian Ungar-Sargon · host Dr. Julian Ungar-Sargon
In this mediation on the space between Now ch and Lech Lecha we are provided midrashically with the first of the ten trials of Abraham.This unacknowledged trial in the listing in Mishnah Avot is however mention in Pirke DeReb Eliezer.We struggle with the evolution of the trials from the first in Nimrod’s fire to the tenth, the fire on the altar with isaac bound.Is it possible to plot a trajectory of the backstory (emerging from the fire, brother burned in the same fire) and its resultant feeling of guilt, and the wandering and exile to Canaan from the center of civilization, as an internaland epigenetic trauma of loss (of his brother) and the caring for Lot (his brother’s son) and see the stories of Genesis as a working through of this primaltrauma and it transformation to the middah of unconditional loving?If so we have a spiritual roadmap for the fires that consumed us a generation ago, and the need for our transformation.
