One of the rather strange commandments in the Torah — G-d’s Divine Teachings Transmitted to and Received by Moses the Ultimate Prophet at Mount Sinai 3333 years ago — is worded as follows: “Choose Life!”

Even though we find ourselves so to speak already thrust into LIFE — meaning we are a soul existing in a physical body, with a mind that is trying to do its best to figure out well-adaptive solutions for the Challenge of Existence in our Current Post-Industrial Civilization. That is still sorely missing the hidden dimension of Sustainable Consciousness - the presence of which brings such precious and rare treasures such as Love, Closeness, Intimacy, Happiness, Self-Esteem, Joy, Inspired Action, Effective Teamwork and Excellent Communication Habits, Being Able to Receive and Give Love and Appreciation freely to Our Selves and Others, and finally the most precious of all precious experiences, that of Closeness of our Soul to the Divine Source of Being — what we Call “God”, “the Creator”, “The Divine”, or the “Source of Being”, “The Universe”, or “The Lord”. Which is our Genuine Salvation.

All these states have one common denominator and that is the Presence of the Authentic Self — or the Essence that is our Unique Soul. The great art & science of the 21st century, and even the Ultimate Business Model will be that of making better = conscious human beings. People that are capable — sustainably so — to live in Peace guided by their Authentic Selves, and also in Peace with their fellow human beings, beginning with their own family members. Without the Daily Practice…
