Your Word Is Fire
Hasidic Masters on contemplation
I love this inventor of the term Eco-Kashruth's universalist outlook, yet remaining within the context of observant neo-Hasidic Judaism. What a way to reframe things. I also hope that this book will be heard, and will be part effectively in transforming human consciousness, as he is right, this is a most critical hour in human history.
Hey -asceticism is not ok, but Minimalism is!! :-) I'm set!
This was an interesting but rather basic work that I started not to look at, but then decided to skim on a borrowed ancient Kindle, so I probably ought to render thanks to the person who put this book on that device, as I found Arthur Green referrring to the Voluntary Simplicity movement at 53%, locations 1200-1204, 2257 (whatever all of that means, as there are unfortunately no actual page numbers on this thing!!)!

This was an interesting read, probably worth another look next year, particularly at locations 414-18 at 17% which seems to be marked 2426 on the very old Kindle I borrowed to read this, where he cites rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel saying that every person, every single living (why living and not also those who have already passed before us?) breathing human being is the image of G-d.
Hmmm...
Not sure I really want to agree with that...
