TECHNOLOGY ENABLES ACCESS OF ASTOUNDING TRUTHS... In a "scientific world," technology today is enabling us to see the reality of the spirit. Previously thought to be external, technology enables us to see that nature was created fy heavanly forces. It accomplishes this by allowing us to see what previously was invisible or unknown. The miracles of nature are revealed by new instruments the miracles of new medicines and cures for diseases, why birds fly south in winter, "making" energy for the sun and wind, and helping the deaf to hear. Cell phone, Computers, email, text messaging, videoconferencing, websites, and blogs are some new ways of reaching truths.
The body of knowledge, the writings from spiritual sources or spiritually entuned persons is collectively known as Torah. Whether scripture, or commentary written by G-d fearing men, we now fortunately have multiple ways to access these truths using technology.
WAYS TO STUDY TORAH. We are reminded that studying Torah is mandated from above, a must. We are told that every time we study it, we are making a connection with above. Every time. But we are not told how to study. Each person is different and has different ways to study. Some may study a bit here and a bit there or superficially, Others, setting a designated time to study daily, pick a specific topic and delve deeply. Now, through technology, specific topics and materials to access those topics are availaable. Each week, this blog will feature one of the resources.
