Lesson Highlights

  • The prophecy of Jacob and Moses
  • The energy of Israel and of Egypt
  • The energy of the body: Desire to Receive
  • Free will and balancing energy

Lesson Description

Rav Berg discusses the level of consciousness achieved by Jacob and Moses, a level that no other prophet achieved.  We learn the origin of negative energy and the need for free will to allow us to choose between negativity and positivity.  Transforming negative energy allows us to elevate our consciousness and balance the cosmos.
