Predicting the future is big business. From newspaper astrologist to corporate consultants they all profit from our insatiable desire to know the unknowable. Often when contemplating major changes I am tempted to check my astrological reading. Is there anything wrong with this? Can intelligent people believe in astrology without feeling injudicious?

As a teacher, rabbi and writer I am fortunate to be able to interact positively with many people. Often people come to speak with me or join a class that I give with a passionate craving for spiritual knowledge and inspiration. Unbeknown to them their desire to learn and to be spiritually uplifted inspires me more than I could ever inspire them. This fact is backed up by the Kabbalists who tell us that a student with a powerful desire to learn awakens within the teacher abilities and teaching talents that are normally dormant.

We live in an age of contradictions. On the one hand the post-modern age is histories most materialistic and narcissistic. In the united states there are hundreds of thousands of people who follow new-age gurus offering a whole smorgasbord of different spiritual paths that claim to be more evolved and advanced than age old religious teachings. The common factor between all of these self-styled gurus is that they all claim to be of higher spiritual perfection than others and some even claim that the divine light flows through them and then from them to their followers.

It’s a new fad. Many spas and health clubs have them – they are called “relaxation rooms”.  Many of us live a stress filled existence where the only relaxation we get is when we are sleeping. Even when we are on vacation we have access to our cell phone, e-mail and other work related equipment. It is therefore not surprising that we have had to create artificial places for relaxation, spaces where one can rest without the interruption of technology and work. But are we supposed to really relax and take it easy? Shouldn’t we be leading a productive life? Is relaxation for its own sake a good thing?
