Awareness is Freedom | YOD Meditation & Parshat Toldot

Judaism recognizes the profound duality in being human: the ego vs. our Divine Essence. How do we overcome ego and choose our Divine Essence? To do that, you first have to become aware of your divine essence. But if you look for it, you won’t be able to find it. The trick is to look for the ego instead, because that which is aware of the ego, otherwise known as awareness, that awareness IS the divine essence. That’s why meditation works. How do you do it? Find out in this teaching on the Torah portion Parshat Toldot, and a guided meditation on the Hebrew letter, י YUD, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.
