Kabbalah, Science and the Meaning of Life

While browsing though the activity of youtube channels that I've subscribed to, I stumbled on the ARIfilms channel and watched the video that's embedded below. At that time I knew very little about Kabbalah, having been briefly exposed to some Kabbalistic writings while reading One: Essential Writings on Nonduality by Jerry Katz. Since I liked the video, I went on to read Kabbalah, Science and the Meaning of Life (available as a free pdf download) by Michael Laitman, and I was quite intrigued by the detailed metaphysical explanations that it contained. Now I plan to read more of his books, many of which are freely available on the web.

Great Freedom - Restful Awareness Practice

Candice O'Denver's Great Freedom Teaching includes a simple Restful Awareness practice that serves as an aid in the process of ego disidentification:

Rest as awareness for short moments, repeated many times, until it becomes continuous.

The Ego - Perpetually Incomplete

Lately I've been watching lots of videos on the topic of nondual awareness. For example, conscious.tv has lots of interviews on the topic of non duality (also available as a youtube playlist).

Here is a video by Scott Kiloby in which he describes the nature of the time bound, thought based, perpetually incomplete, conceptual self identity that is the ego (though he doesn't actually refer to it as the ego).
