Question

Hi Rabbi, I wanted to ask: how is it that on the one hand you seem to have no interest in reading books of Jewish thought—at least that is what comes across from many of your responses on the forum—and in addition, it does not seem from your biography that you had any significant rabbi, even though according to many sayings of the Sages, and in general, this is how Judaism works: through apprenticing oneself to Torah scholars. I even saw on the forum that you wrote that your greatest teachers are the philosophers and scientists, which seems absurd on its face, since these are different disciplines. And on the other hand, you propose a method and claim that it is the truth and that it is found in Judaism. Seemingly, your method looks nice as general thought, and there is no need to force it into Judaism—especially since I have encountered quite a few people in whom it was evident that the fact that your method claims to be within Judaism caused them severe emotional and spiritual difficulties. It would seem appropriate, in my limited understanding, either to take care of such people through deeper guidance as a moral obligation, or not to present the method as Judaism. (Of course, it may be that this method has helped many people, but that is no contradiction, since it harms many others, at least in an initial encounter, and therefore it would seem morally proper to establish more in-depth guidance on the forum, at least according to my superficial understanding.)
So in summary:
1. How can a Jewish method that is the truth rely only on general means and not on specifically Jewish internal sources? That seems like an intellectual absurdity, and it also appears to contradict Judaism’s guidance according to all its rabbis.
2. Even if this method is correct, why insist on forcing it into Judaism without appropriate guidance and support?
It is important for me to say that the reason for my question is not provocation, but that I find a great deal of depth in the method, and it is just really very hard for me. I would be glad to delve deeper and understand what this is about, sincerely and with a pure heart. May you be sealed for a good year.
