{"product_id":"everything-is-god-isbn-9781590306710","title":"Everything Is God","description":"This exploration of the radical, yet ancient, idea that everything and everyone is God will transform how you understand your life and the nature of religion itself. While God is conventionally viewed as an entity separate from us, there are some Jews—Kabbalists, Hasidim, and their modern-day heirs—who assert that God is not separate from us at all. In this nondual view, everyone and everything manifests God. For centuries a closely guarded secret of Kabbalah, nondual Judaism is a radical reorientation of religious life that is increasingly influencing mainstream Judaism today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriter and scholar Jay Michaelson presents a wide-ranging and compelling explanation of nondual Judaism: what it is, its traditional and contemporary sources, its historical roots and philosophical significance, how it compares to nondual Buddhism and Hinduism, and how it is lived in practice. He explains what this mystical nondual view means in our daily ego-centered lives, for our communities, and for the future of Judaism.“One of the most widely read Jewish writers of his generation…Michaelson's deeply contemplative, thoughtful book will open the doors of the heart and mind to the possibility that what we have come to take for the “self” is just a way to label the way things look from a certain angle.”—\u003ci\u003eSpirituality \u0026amp; Health\u003c\/i\u003e magazine   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[Michaelson] writes with clarity, passion, and a poetic sensibility.”—\u003ci\u003eJewish Week\u003c\/i\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Jay Michaelson’s captivating post-secular musings present for the generation of the new Jewish culture a vision of expanded religious possibilities.”—\u003ci\u003eForward  \u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Stripping away the barnacles of outdated concepts, Jay Michaelson aligns the best nondual thinking in Judaism with the best nondual thinking in other profound systems. \u003ci\u003eEverything Is God\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and necessary contribution.”—Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, coauthor of \u003ci\u003eJewish with Feeling\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Jay Michaelson has written a poetic, detailed, and radical book expressing a Jewish language of oneness: not the oneness of a bearded man in the sky but the Oneness of a universe not divided against itself.
