Abraham Abulafia

You'll probably see why the student wanted to remain anonymous.

But he's a student of Abulafia.

How do you get to these gates of holiness? So look what he writes.

This is what you find in the uncensored version.

They're not hiding the fact that here, the Muslim ascetics, he's quoting them.

He's not trying to hide where he's taking his mysticism from.

This is a student of Abulafia.

So it's quoting the Muslim ascetic.

And one sermon, right? We got to look this up, this Rabbi Brous.

uh um i need you to breathe i mean it sounds like a fabulous that's echoing in my memory somewhere so i'm gonna make a connection with that i think that's a fantastic thing um and then you know i love that you talk about how uh you know you you were looking for embodiment practice you know and and um uh yeah i had had a similar exploration and i shared with you in our first conversation um that i came across the abu lafia Avraham Abulafia meditation methods.

And, you know, I've since then connected with an Abulafia's descendant in Sfat and have studied with him, Yehezi.

What's up, Yehezi? My Rav.

And yeah, the breath is absolutely like, that's such a phenomenal point that like, I think you had even said to me all the words that we have in Hebrew for soul mean breath of some sort.

"Umodeh al ha'emet", and admit truth.

Now, I didn't say this, it's Rabbi Abraham Abulafia.

Rabbi Abraham was a very big kabbalist.

He says the word Yirat Shamaim has the same gematria as modeh al ha'emet.
