Where Can God be Found? The Jewish Men who Believe They Already Know the Answer
An age-old question, “Where can God be found?” has led many people down a winding journey of self-discovery and exploration. For some, the answer lies in their breath, guided by the mystical and psychedelic qualities of ancient Judaism. In South Florida, the co-founder of AhDaMa, Meir Kay, conducts gatherings where men can explore this connection through Jewish breathwork. This method encourages participants to get in touch with their breath and the natural chemistry of the mind, potentially reaching a higher power.
According to Kay, remembrance, a gathering like retreat, but different, provides the space for self-discovery. “Yes, God’s in the trees, and God’s in the plant, and God’s in us,” he quotes. Jewish culture and the mystical experience share ancient roots. Psychopharmacological studies suggest an increase in perceived divine presence upon using psychedelics.
Psychiatrists agree that breathing slowly, like Ayahuasca does, might enable individuals to see into their brains. Many users of breathwork, particularly young Jewish men, claim a sudden understanding, closeness, with the divine they once struggled for.
AhDaMa participants are told through guided sessions using their own mental state as instruments to see to their Godhead. As you explore and share this spiritual insight, participants take steps away.
