The Kabbalah of Time: Teachings on the Inexistence of God

The Kabbalah of Time is an interactive investigation of two fundamental mysteries: the Absolute (God) and the Infinite (time-space). Everything that has form was shaped by the transitory nature of time. God, devoid of form, as presented in the Biblical text, is a God that does not belong to time. Using mystical teachings within Judaism to learn from the perspective of beyond time, Rabbi Nilton Bonder presents some intriguing questions and mysterious answers that can contribute to a better intimacy with reality. Viewing Creation as the Creation of time itself he proposes a countdown for the establishment of sequential time as we know it. Day 1: The Everlasting produces the Now.  Day 2: The Now produces existence.  Day 3: Existence produces death.  Day 4: Death produces feelings. Day 5: Feelings produce intelligence. Day 6: Intelligence produces the past.  Day 7: The past produces the future. Why would a Creator by nature be hidden and invisible?  Can something exist without being inside time? Where did we come from and where do we go when we leave time?  What if time could be understood as a place, a place that has no direction?

To Have or Not To Have That is the Question: The Economics of Desire

After having lectured at large corporations around Brazil and several other countries, Rabbi Bonder wrote this book to meet the rising interest in the business world for spirituality.    This book is about the ultra-wisdom to be found in frontiers between intelligence and ignorance. The very border that divides between clarity and superstition, intuition and illusion, discernment and fantasy, is an area of mixed light and darkness. In this twilight zone abide truths that will never turn into certainties.    This is the zone where good sense is usually not the common sense, but a countersense. Where wisdom is forged out of experience, sensitivity and intuition; where doubt is the resource and where fog rather than light is the medium.   Companies searching for their 'earthly kingdom' have discovered that the intelligence of the 'kingdom of heaven' could be of some use for efficiency sake, and in a highly competitive world nobody can afford to ignore a form of intelligence. In our days, we have begun to recognize a field of thought that until just recently was seen as lying outside the realm of categories of intelligence.

The Jews are known for their intuitive genius in getting out of a pickle. With their long history of persecution, they've developed a knack for escaping seemingly hopeless predicaments: when your back is against the wall, you learn to think fast. Centuries of reasoning and interpreting the Holy Scriptures have also contributed to the Jews' skill in solving the most puzzling problems. This astute way of thinking is known in Yiddish as yiddishe kop , literally "Jewish head." Through Jewish humor, folklore, and tales of the great rabbis, Rabbi Nilton Bonder presents the basic principles of this creative approach to thinking, which sees beyond appearances to the hidden truth of any problem. Once these are mastered, they may in turn be applied to many "impossible" situations that arise in business and in life. The book focuses on four levels of solving a problem: 1. On the level of Information, we approach problems literally, in response to the obvious and the concrete. 2. On the level of Understanding, we obtain concealed information through techniques such as questioning, reframing, and emptying the mind. 3. On the level of Wisdom, we access the world of intuition, where a "fool" can achieve the impossible by relying on feelings, premonitions, dreams, and coincidences. 4. On the level of Reverence, we discover the hidden Reality behind appearances. This is the realm of those who dare to take risks, make commitments, and learn from mistakes, who act out of their living experience without relying solely on reason and conceptual thinking.

Rabbi Bonder turns a few conventional religious ideas on their heads as he examines the Bible and other Jewish teachings to identify the forces at play in individual, social, and spiritual transformation. Religious conformists believe that obeying the established moral order will lead to the salvation of our souls. On the contrary, says Bonder, the human spirit is nourished by what society labels immoral. Even the Bible legitimizes the notion that we have a God-given urge to rebel against the status quo in order to evolve, grow, and ascend. It is this "immoral" soul of ours that impels us to do battle with God—and out of this clash, Bonder predicts, a new humanity will emerge. In the course of discussion, the author examines a variety of intriguing issues touching on religion, science, and culture, including the teachings of evolutionary psychology; the relation of body and soul; infidelity in marriage; anti-Semitism and the Jew as traitor; transgression, sacrifice, and redemption in Judaism and Christianity; and the Messiah as archetypal transgressor.

Negative emotions have much to teach us about ourselves and our relationships with others and the world at large. In The Kabbalah of Envy, Rabbi Nilton Bonder draws on the wisdom of the Talmud, Hasidic tales, and Jewish mystical lore in presenting insights into the effects of envy, jealousy, hatred, and anger. He shows that whether we are on the giving or the receiving end of these unpleasant emotions, we can learn to transform them and live peacefully in the spirit of the biblical commandment "Love your neighbor as yourself." Among the topics discussed are:     •  the consequences of malicious gossip, slander, and insults     •  cultivating humility as the middle path between pride and lack of self- esteem    •  learning to rejoice in the happiness and success of others     •  knowing when it's better not to be nice     •  the proper way to correct or criticize others     •  living with ill-will and avoiding fights     •  forgiveness and reconciliation     •  turning your enemy into your best friend
