Description

There is a moment during a tennis match where the ball hits the net and hangs in the air for an instant. In this moment, the ball seems to decide for itself whether to go forward or go backward. "Luck" seems to decide -- but what is luck? This phenomenon of the tennis ball occurs in our dreams as well: we can dream about pretty much anything. We have no control over our dreams; they proceed irregardless of our intentions. Joseph said that dreams come from God. Freud said that dreams come from the unconscious. Yet, it may be possible, that both Freud and Joseph were saying the same thing without knowing it. Moreover, it may be that, like in Franz Kafka's fiction, the dreaming mind and the conscious mind are one and the same as well.IG: Stevehead0001steventobyweinberg.comMeditation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFeTTgl_wAI&t=11sMusic: Smashing Pumpkins - "Siamese Dream"

It is time that we see philosophy as something rebellious and therapeutic rather than boring and esoteric. Using humor, personal anecdotes, and much hubris, the Schrift provides fresh and unexpected answers to life's most tricky and fateful questions. The anchor of the Schrift is the weekly reading of the Torah. These passages are analyzed not as religious dogma but as brilliant pieces of literature and anthropology which bring ancient wisdom back into our lives. The greatest philosophers and writers of the German canon also weigh in on these questions during the Schrift. Finally the lectures incorporate Buddhist teachings and the practice of Yoga to bring together East and West, body and mind, eternity and the moment. And the Schrift will always give you a "life tip" to carry with you along the way. IG: stevehead0001 s.t.weinberg@gmail.com
