Relationships for me in the past have not been healthy ones. If a person is not whole in themselves, first, before loving another, then they will love the other person for the wrong reason. They want to be in a relationship to fill a void in themselves. The relationship for them is for selfish reasons because they do not want to be alone.
It is important that we become whole so that we can know how to love the other. We want to be healthy and we want healthy relationships, but in today’s dysfunction how do we do that? We are all broken people — Lost and trying to find our way home.
The Clubhouse
I would like to have a group. This is a special group that I want to start, but I want all of us to be part of the group the same.
There are a lot of groups out there, but I fail to find a group that studies with the Jews.
The Bible calls us “Gentiles.”
Not, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, New Age, or Indigenous, and on and on…. Gentiles are all non-Jews.
I can join together with other Christians, even Christians who are studying the Hebrew texts, but they are still Gentile.
I fail to find a Gentile or all non-Jewish group anywhere (of no specific affiliation except that we all agree that the Bible is foundational to understanding the ONE true God).
I am writing a lot about the man and the woman and how we are different and through our differences we complement one another. When we understand who we truly are, we understand the complement we have to the other.
We like to have male and female groups, yet we do not have Gentile groups. There are a lot of different Jewish groups, but not one Gentile group anywhere.
Group Study
So, I have been a part of a woman/Jewish group for a while now by Miriam Cohen from Live Kabbalah, and today I listened to her message. I like to try to be part of her live class which is interactive, but sometimes I miss it and listen to it when it is posted on Youtube.
Miriam is teaching on the meaning of this month.
When I watch or listen to a Jewish messages there is a ton of things that go through my mind that I would like to discuss with someone who is not Jewish. I am identifying with a lot of the talk but through my journey and from my sources of scripture that are not Jewish.
As well, there are a number of things Judaism is connected to that I never felt were relevant before, such as there being meaning to the days or months that we are in. Then there is terminology that I am learning and trying to understand. Lately, I am hearing a lot of talk about the meaning of Hebrew letters such as yud and hay. Then there are also numbers that seem to carry significant meaning.
There really is so much to discuss, so the opportunities for group topics are endless.
This message is out there to find people who will be interested in this group. You will need to dedicate a few hours a week to a Jewish topic that I will send to you or you can request. We then will be discussing the Jewish message through the group app called Clubhouse.
I will begin our first class to talk about Miriam’s study on the month of Elul. Miriam talks about what the left hand means and how we can connect to our inner-child. There is a very cool exercise at the end of it, that I did, and have shared it below:
Clubhouse is an audio-based social media app. Connect with me on Clubhouse here and we can meet in a group I called “The Gentile Connection.” Once you connect with me on Clubhouse I will invite you to our group meetings.
I will need a few people to the group, so when I have 4 or 5 people I will notify everyone of the meeting to discuss “The month of Elul” by Miriam Cohen.
Things to do:
- Sign up to receive weekly emails about upcoming topics (subscription form below)
- Join Clubhouse and follow me here
- Listen to “The month of Elul” video by Miriam Cohen
- Look for a notification from me on Clubhouse about when we will meet and discuss the video.
My plan for the group is that others join. With Clubhouse other users can listen in on our discussions and if they are enjoying it they also become mediators and follow us. If topics are popular and there are mediators that want to continue the discussion, group chats can live on for days through the people who are attending the groups.
I would like to start this group, but I want all of us to be a part of it the same.
Please subscribe to my email list below and I will add you to our weekly emails too that explain what topics are going to be discussed for the Clubhouse group.
