Tikkun: Repairing Ourselves Podcast Teagan Horowitz

Whenever I see a negative trait in someone else, it is a direct reflection of how I view myself. So when I see someone and I go straight to judgemental thoughts, really, they are my insecurities I feel about myself that are surfacing. I may be filled with jealousy, ego, envy, maybe that person is our friend who talks too much or who is so selfish,  it isn’t because that person are all of those things, it is because I am. I am missing something within me to give full compassion towards that other person. 

Yetzer Hara, the Evil Inclination, will do anything in it's power for us to choose desire, lust and anger. There is a Darkness that will be prominent when we go in search of our passions. There are times it will feel like we cannot take the heartache of disappointments and setbacks, and that is the Yetzer Hara's goal. Listen to this week's episode to uncover how important it is to choose ourselves and our passions regardless of what is in our way.

"Our Ego takes  hold of all of our senses and we begin to spiritually decline, as long as we let our Ego stay in the driver seat. The Ego builds doubt. It builds doubt about ourselves, and it builds doubt towards Hashem and his Holiness."

In this episode, Teagan Horowitz brings a new guest to the podcast, her husband, Elmar (Eliezer Mordechai), and together discuss conversion, the current state of Israel, and our collective destiny not just as Jews but humanity.

On this episode, Teagan Horowitz talks about re-centering herself, the vulnerability that comes with releasing your passion into the world and how the Pendulum of Life teaching comes back into play. 

When you say but, it’s saying there is an alternative. Life is not an alternative. It is the only choice that they have made. They killed someone. It is the end. And there is no going back from that.
