When we stand before the Great Mystery in a state of calm, alert clarity, we shed all the layers of distraction, turbulence and conditioning and truly have freedom of choice.
Rabbi Shefa Gold describes the practice of devekut, the continual remembrance of God that leads us past the edge of what can be expressed through words.
To be a mystic-activist means that I must live in the light of what I know to be true. Through this light, I must heal the racism that is my conditioning and find the deeper knowing that we are one Being.
