Where Did the Road Go?

Rabbi Gershon Winkler on Shamanic Judaism - May 11, 2013

Season 2013, Ep. 16

This was a very deep interview, where we discuss everything from cycles of ages to existence to gay marriage. Rabbi Gershon Winkler is a wonderful person to talk to, full of positive energy and wisdom, as you will see. Gershon is a widely recognized scholar in the fields of Jewish law, lore, theology, and mysticism. A descendant of a scion of rabbis originating in Judea, Rabbi Winkler has devoted much of the past two decades to writing and teaching about the lesser-promulgated wisdoms of Judaism and to Hebraic scriptural interpretation. He has published fourteen books since 1980, four of which have seen several printings and two of which were banned. His most recent works include: Decalogue: Facts and Fallacies of the Ten Commandments, The Judeo-Christian Fiction, Daily Kabbalah: Wisdom from the Tree of Life, and Magic of the Ordinary: Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism. Among many things, we discuss...

 

  • How he became a Rabbi.
  • How Orthodox Rabbi's react to his work.
  • What the Kabbalah really is.
  • Ancient Wisdom and Mysteries.
  • The Cycles of Time and worlds.
  • The Tetragrammaton and it's meaning.
  • The Nephilim
  • The Importance of 7.
  • Reincarnation.
  • What the Ancient Teachings really say about God.
  • What the Bible really says about Homosexuality.
  • Good and Evil.

Also, throughout the interview we will hear three songs from Rabbi Dr. Miriam Maron. You can find her site, music, and more at www.miriamscyberwell.com. You can check out Gershon's material, and much more at www.walkingstick.org

  • 16. Peter Robbins on Wilhelm Reich: Part 2 - April 12, 2014

    01:17:06||Season 2014, Ep. 16
    Peter Robbins returns to the show to continue our discussion about Wilhelm Reich. First we discuss some happenings in the UFO world, before delving into some of Reich's theories, Orgone, connections to Eastern philosophy, sex, and even Aleister Crowley. Peter Robbins was first introduced to the books of Wilhelm Reich as a teenager by a college roommate, to whom he remains deeply indebted. In 1976 he met Dr. Elsworth F. Baker, Reich’s first assistant for the last eleven years of his life. Soon after this he became a patient of Dr. Baker and entered into almost seven years of medical orgone therapy with the distinguished orgonomist. Robbins went on to enroll in the classes New York University offered in scientific and social orgonomy which was taught by the Reich scholars Professors John Bell and Paul Matthews. They in turn invited him to become a member of their ongoing Seminar in Social and Scientific Orgonomy, patterned after the seminars which Sigmund Freud presided over during the nineteen twenties. Peter spent much of the nineteen eighties involved with this group, presenting a variety of papers to his fellow seminar members under Matthews’ and Bell’s guidance and leadership. Peter was a volunteer fundraiser for the American College of Orgonomy’s (ACO) Building Fund and had two papers on Wilhelm Reich and UFOs published in the Journal of Orgonomy. He was part of a select group of volunteers invited to witness a demonstration of cloudbusting technology and presented on the subject of Reich and UFOs at the ACO’s Princeton NJ facility, and at international conferences on the life and work of Reich in New York City, Ashland Oregon, Niece France and Karavomilos Greece. His lectures have been well received at numerous scientific and UFO conferences both here and abroad while his articles on the subject have been published in a variety of print and web publications. Robbins’ extensively researched paper, “Politics, Religion and Human Nature: Practical Problems and Roadblocks on the Path Toward Official UFO Acknowledgment” is scheduled to be published in the upcoming issue of Annals of the Institute for Orgonomic Science.
