Description

The next time you call someone an artist, realize that you may be insulting him or her. We typically associate the word Art with Truth, but actually they are more like opposites. Art relies on deception, trickery, manipulation: this is why we have the words ARTificial, ARTifice, and ARTful. According to Hegel, Art could never contain Truth. But Hegel, it seems, never read the Kabbalah. For in the Kabbalah, the Torah is both Art and God and the Universe all at once.steventobyweinberg.comIG: Stevehead0001Music: Mozart - "A Musical Joke.

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
