Every time you say "I am a Christian" or "I am a Jew," are you limiting God in you? Dr. Moshe Daniel breaks down why the Jewish people were chosen to build the vessel for God to incarnate into humanity—and why that mission was supposed to end 2,000 years ago when Christ came.

What you'll learn: Why the Jewish covenant was meant to break open, not continueHow every identity you attach to "I am" restricts the divine in youThe difference between ego's cage and soul's true nature Dr. Moshe Daniel went from Orthodox Jew to teaching the esoteric truth that runs through all wisdom traditions. After severe illness broke down his ego and religious identity, he discovered what Judaism never taught him: that his fundamental nature isn't the beliefs, body, or mind he's inhabiting—it's the pure "I am" consciousness beyond all labels.
