Discovering the Modern Essene Way with Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD

I experienced a deep connection with the ground of being while reading the first chapter of Creating Peace by Being Peace: The Sevenfold Essene Way by Rabbi Gabriel Cousens from 9-11 PM this Friday.

I briefly encountered a different book by Cousens many years ago, but I wasn't prepared to engage with it at the time. Then two days ago, Gabriel's unique rabbinical dharma came back to my attention through Shantree Kacera's teaching on spiritual fasting (see Powerful 2026 Healing Boost from Shantree Kacera and 29/30 Acharei-Kedoshim: Day 6 (Friday) | Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD and the Honest Weight Food Coop).

Just before tonight's Sabbath began, I decided to acquire Creating Peace by Being Peace. Frankly, I am stunned by the first chapter. There is much here for me to digest.
