A Blessing I Wasn't Ready For: A Teaching From The Spies
Manage episode 489543771 series 3579122
What if the very thing you long for is also the thing you fear?
In this week’s session of Underneath the Underneath, we journey into the Torah portion of Sh’lach, exploring the mystical dimensions of longing, readiness, and the ache of the fruit—the vision that overwhelms the vessel.
Through Hasidic and Kabbalistic sources, we ask:
What happens when the promise appears too early, too bright, too close?
Can wandering be a form of sacred preparation?
And is the “no” we sometimes receive not punishment—but a pause that ripens us to receive?
We meet the spies, the fruit, the land, and our own trembling hearts—stretching toward the mystery of Divine timing, inner expansion, and the slow becoming of the soul.

Deepen with Ohmek:
Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.
It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.
It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.
At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.
