Lesson Description

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael delve into pessimism as a form of self-sabotage and how it actually doesn’t come from us but, rather, from what the kabbalists call the ‘negative inclination,’ or ego. Listen as they discuss ways in which to become more aware of our true essence so that we can constantly diminish our self-destructive thoughts and actions and, thereby, set ourselves up for lasting fulfillment.
