About this listen

Can spiritual energy be hijacked? This week on Toward a Meaningful Life, David Cohen and Levi Goldstein dive into one of the Torah’s most mystifying episodes—King Balak hiring the prophet Balaam to curse the Israelites. But instead of destruction, Balaam delivers blessings that we still recite in our morning prayers today.


What does this story teach us about the dark side of Kabbalah, the power of intention, and how spiritual energy—like nuclear power—can be used for good or harm? And more importantly: how can we protect ourselves from negativity in today’s world?


From invisible forces to modern manipulation, this episode explores the mystical dynamics of energy, purpose, and resilience.
