“The Jewish meditation practices, the spirituality inside Judaism, by no means or at the least hardly ever will get past or slips into the nondual to the extent that you just drop the labels, that you just drop the tribal. You get Saint Paul saying there isn’t any Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or feminine, in Christ. To me, that’s Christ consciousness, that’s Buddha thoughts. Once you attain that degree of consciousness, all of the labels fall away, your sense of separate self is gone.” –Rabbi Rami Shapiro
