What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

welcome to Tara anytime calm is it that time about work okay so why don't I bring up Jewish meditation because with a rabbi Kaplan it's a kind of a little bit of a spooky book because he finished it the day before he died and he died suddenly in honor of Shabbos if I recall correctly and he writes in the book all about dangerous meditations which if you do them you might not come back so therefore there's reason to believe that you know maybe he practiced some what he preached so the jewish meditation has a lot about meditation in the traditional sense but it has a lot also that had a diving with qivana how to focus on one's davon e and how to really diver with qivana so I'm gonna speak about this topic a little bit tonight tonight I was gonna speak about Travis couple uh what was it last week but then I got requests this we got something else Patti Devin with carbona what is qivana so carvanha literally means direction the or directed missed would probably be a better English word boom this direction Cavanaugh is to direct yourself to a certain purpose that that means that you are directing yourself towards how could is wonderful in the larger sense but also you want to direct yourselves towards the davines itself now there are things called cover notes
