The Metaphysics of Sleep: Rabbi Ze'ev Sultanovitch on Orot HaKodesh
Rabbi Ze'ev Sultanovitch delivers a profound discourse on the spiritual mechanics of sleep based on Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook's seminal work, Orot HaKodesh. The lesson explores how nighttime brings about a dual dynamic in human existence, separating the transcendent spiritual imagination from the raw, biological life-force of the body. Through this analysis, the lecture bridges classical Jewish mystical concepts with psychological insights regarding the subconscious mind. It concludes with the daily spiritual obligation of morning rituals, which serve to realign and harmonize the physical and spiritual dimensions of the soul upon waking.
