Welcome to Lives 1st


A rabbi and a pastor began a journey over 25 years ago. They studied their Scriptures, researched their religions and examined their belief systems. The rabbi is Jeffrey Leynor and Jim Myers is the pastor. They could have never dreamed of what they would discover. They created the TOV Center and the Lives 1st Initiative to share it with people.

● Humans are born with a mysterious force that recognizes and moves them towards fairness, kindness, loyalty, and caring – and away from cheating, cruelty, betrayal and indifference. This can be seen in infants long before they are able to speak.

● Human brains create realities through which individuals view the world, give meanings to what they see and create societies and institutions that reflect their realities. The human brain is the most complex known object in the universe. It connects electrochemical impulses of sensory organs to memories stored in the brain to create realities.

● When realities are in synch with the things the mysterious force values, seeks and desires – lives are safer, more content and fulfilled, and happier. When they are not, lives are less safe, discontent and unfulfilled, and unhappier. Based on what people are doing in America today, their realities appear to be out of synch the mysterious life force in all humans.

● The Lives 1st Initiative helps people create realities and relationships that are in synch with the mysterious life force so lives will be protected and preserved, made more functional and the quality of life increased.

People on both sides of conflicts always say they want to do what’s right.
Lives 1st is about everyone doing what’s life!
Gather with us online or local meetings to learn more and connect with others.

What am I?

What am I? Now that’s a question a lot of people have asked in the history of humans. We ( Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and former pastor Jim Myers ) created two models for working with that question – after wrestling with it for over 25 years . You may have noticed that use models instead of answers. Most questions about life are better understood by using models that reveal potentialities than statements of either/or answers . Our models emerged from two sources in which our research and studies focused on during our journey together – one source is an ancient wisdom account embedded in our shared religious texts and the other source is modern science . This makes our approach at the TOV Center unique in many respects – we combine the wisdom of ancient texts with the facts of modern science to maximize human experiences . As pointed out above, we created a model from each source to help us better understand humans: (1) Ancient Wisdom Model – Humans are creatures that share t...

Distinguishing Between The Kingdom of Elohim & Cosmic Wars

  A cosmic war is like a ritual drama in which participants act out on earth a battle they believe is actually taking place in the heavens. It is, in other words, both a real, physical struggle in this world and an imagined, moral encounter in the world beyond. The conflict may be real and the carnage material, but the war itself is being waged on a spiritual plane; we humans are merely actors in a divine script written by God. A cosmic war partitions the world into black and white, good and evil, us and them . Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/31669ceec901/distinguishing-between-the-kingdom-of-elohim-cosmic-wars

Will science do a better job than religions?

Science tells us the following things about humans: 1. Humans have basic physical requirements that must be met in order to survive. 2. Humans are totally dependent on other humans from conception to death. 3. Without cooperation or power relationships required for human survival will not exist.   4. Relationships based on cooperation have better outcomes than those based on power. The first stories in the book of Genesis reveal the same ideas. Do you think science will do a better job than religions in getting humans to understand and apply them to their lives? Or do you think religions can change and do a better job? _____________________________________________________________ Did you find this information helpful?
