Rabbi_Brian_Podcast

Rabbi Brian talks about a quote from the Tao Te Ching… unawareness of right and wrong are the sign of a mind at ease. Lots of love today for lots of people. We all need it.

Rabbi Brian talks about how there is NO ONE path to God and he tells a little about “THOSE” people who think there is. With love to all this week. All of them. Even the *ssh*oles deserve love.

Rabbi Brian talks about an universal experience he had called “a side of the road” experience — where it’s only after we feel safe that we feel ok falling apart.

Rabbi Brian talks about “how to talk with your children about religion.” He acknowledges that he is not the authority on the subject but that you (or their parent) is. Nonetheless, he shares some ideas. Shout out this week to Ernie whose mother died.

THIS ISN’T A PODCAST. This is an interview of Rabbi Brian on Mary Hynes’s program(me) Tapestry broadcast on 11/2/08. http://cbc.ca/podcasting

Rabbi Brian talks about the notion of a “spiritual barometer,” what it is, how it can help, and more… hey, does anyone read these notes anyway? Shout out this week to all of those who try so hard and don’t feel like their efforts are met with success.

Rabbi Brian explains conditioning… why we do those things that we do… somewhat…

Rabbi Brian talks a bit about the educator and psychologist Vygotsky and his notion of the Zone of Proximal Development. (Alright, in simple words, it will explain why when you are stressed out you tend to talk to yourself more.)

Rabbi Brian talks about the idea that “certainty means that you are certain, not that you are right or wrong.” (gulp!) (And, I’m talking to you… not to anyone else. On this topic we often think this is something someone else needs to learn, but not us.)

Rabbi Brian retells a conversation he had with a high school student and ponders if we all don’t have a bit of “wanting to mow” but not really knowing why. (A shout out this week to my Grandma who died last week, Lois, Don, and Jesse.)
