Zilber in episode number
90.
90 [Kahkhag]
Justice
Episode A righteous man will fall. A righteous man will rise. A righteous man who raises the dead.
What does it mean for a righteous man to fall? It
came out last. What song about the fact that everyone falls. A
righteous man rises.
It's not that there's a problem with the righteous man falling because everyone
falls.
You know that in general the letter says that it is on the side and that which is
near the right hand is righteous.
Oh really.
yes. But it's still, it's still going to work out. So
listen, today this episode I'm talking about,
what else is it this time?
Yes, I told you nine things that I wanted to talk about,
and it's because it's something
personal of mine that I said I want to open it up here
with you. Our viewers and feeders and I am now
40 years old right now congratulations
congratulations so a moment of flowers and beers
can we send everything in an orderly manner
where is the address
oh the poem Zelda Arba in Jerusalem
poet Zelda Arba Jerusalem
yes and you
can also by email or WhatsApp and so on now a
I will tell you something
so it seems you have reached a righteous age
yes you already feel like that at the age of 9
this is this so this is exactly the opposite so all the messages
in front of 40 and tea tea tea and there was also a talk let's do a
party with all the friends and family something
wide and I felt
so I don't know what the age crisis of 40 I am in the middle
still I am like not okay with birth there is at
all a subject a a soul how much is at all appropriate and worthwhile and what is the
meaning and to indicate the measure you did not specify it does
not matter each as heat as according to the illustration kfum com
winter delay but according to his style but
I am not at the stage where I want an obligation to sit down to
do what day wa 40
seems to me debts 50 60 I would like to do
it now I am still in the middle looks don't
bother me okay doing nice but On the other hand, there's
this term, the global term, the 40-year-old crisis,
and
maybe I'm making fun of it. I don't want to
deal with this painful issue that, well, I'm already
40 years old and already, already, already, the old man is starting to get old. yes.
You're already more of a closet
I'm already yes I'm already getting closer to 50
so that's it I said let's open it here
so what what do you want us to talk about what is a
40 year crisis anyway first of all let's understand it like this a
40 year crisis already today many people are already experiencing
it at age 30
I thought that now because the nature of life is evaluated
maybe we'll experience it at age 50
or then we'll experience it a second time
oh okay everything is faster today
no I'll tell you it really does matter where
you come from
it really does matter because the essence of a 40 year crisis
is this moment when a person comes the first thing we see
is a person that means
when we are young we are full of plans and want to
conquer the world
I still
or therefore you still don't connect it you you you
40 year crisis the
40 year crisis is the moment when a person understands that
there is a creator to the world who runs the world but does he
understand it about really is it a creator that a
person understands that really the creator so he is already so he is already so
he has already gone through he is already going through the crisis the
problem starts that we don't realize that there is Creator
of the world, yes, we know this in our minds, yes, but no, not
really,
some kind of acceptance that there are things in your plans that will
never happen, that they will never
happen, that
you see that by the age of 40 it didn't happen and you say,
well, if it didn't happen by the age of 40,
maybe I should start saying goodbye to some of
my dreams
about today. We're in a period, forgive me. I, I,
maybe I have a youthful rebellion of the age of 40, as if
we're in a period where at the age of 40 you can start a
second career and there's a career that's
not what most people experience. Let's put it this way.
I remember once meeting a friend, or we were
36 at the time, and
he told me something like this in acceptance. A friend from the yeshiva, we
weren't friends, but we were friends. She told me, "
Listen, listen, and it tells me, okay, listen, this is
life." As if he was already 36, he
said to himself, "This is life."
Well,
now everyone meets him at a different age, so the
word "age 40" is like, usually after a
person already has something, it's not a person who doesn't have it. A
person who at the age of 25 is still hungry, hungry, hungry, still doesn't have
money, still doesn't have an apartment, still doesn't have it sometimes in
classes. Some people don't have a wife, they don't have
children, with us it's already 40 years old, it's already after you
start getting married, so there's a crisis where a person
sees what kind of house they've arrived at, who wants to hang out
with him, who doesn't want to hang out with him, which is a
different kind of 40-year-old crisis. Basically, age 40 is the
crisis where you see what you've achieved
and understand what you haven't achieved,
and then it actually makes people, so there are people who have actually
reached very, very high peaks
and say, "Someone really sent this to who the hell,
maybe you should make a podcast about it or an email. I do
n't remember what he talked to me about about
people who have reached their goals and say, "Well, and
so I already have, and I already have, and I already have, I got to
listen to
a few podcasts in the general sector
where people are interviewed who have made a fortune, meaning they
sold a company and they received a sum that, by his definition, is
life-changing:
$40 million, $100 million,
$200 million, each to Pom Khorfadli. You said each
one, and the mistakes of the other, and the
most amazing thing is to discover that
they achieved it and
ask questions. Her, tell me what will change in
your life? nothing.
nothing. Is there some kind of consciousness that my children will be able to
do whatever they want? They didn't have to
work to make a living. nonsense.
Your children had to do it too, because
otherwise they would be nobodies and make nothing of
their lives. In short. The only difference between people
who made an exit and people who didn't make an exit
is that the one who didn't make an exit still has a dream of
making an exit. Economically.
And the one who has already made an exit, maybe he still has 500
exits from another place, a place of creation, of doing
something significant, but instead of money, he discovers that
he received a bill for 50 million dollars and nothing has
changed because the beautiful house he bought as a result of
this, he could have bought before that too, after all, he is not
buying a house now, what can he do, two
breakfasts every day, what can he do with the
money?
So people who have already achieved things
say to themselves,
and
people who have not achieved things and as if they have tried in
circles and gone from here to there and they do not have
some kind of achievement that they can point to, so they
say, wait, so, where is my life going? And
there is the third type that you say, wait, I, for
me, have not stopped to take
stock yet.
No, I will tell you,
I will not stop to take stock. That is what you
say,
no, so, a second,
or your stocktaking, there are many,
no, I will tell you, look,
the number 40 in Judaism is wisdom.
He is 40 gates of wisdom.
And according to the Torah's internal teachings, the first 40 years of a
human being are the stage of wisdom. The fact that the
acquisition of knowledge and
material is still immature and 40 years from now,
what you have acquired so far will already exist. Now you'll lose
it. Now actually open it. This is the stage of
understanding. The third 40 years that until 120 is already the end of the world,
it's already a higher stage, but
actually the stage of collecting data
until the age of 40 was supposed to be finished now. Everything is already there. Now, let's
talk about it for a moment.
Now, actually, what is written in the books that 40 is
both open and closed will be the loser in
these clichés.
Okay,
I'm paying attention. So,
what I'm coming to say is that I am the
mental place that at age 40 is supposed to be until
now. This is what you are now reaping. What you are reaping. Come on, tell me about what you sowed in the
first 40 years. What
you are reaping? Come on, tell me about what you are
not. This is what you are telling me. Actually, wait, I am coming to
clarify this. You say, listen. There are
dreams that need to be detailed. There are things that will not happen.
No, I did not say. I did not say. From the stop.
[Laughter] Take stock. Now go to some other
level. Second,
I did not say. So you did not understand
me. I told you
about the essence of the crisis. Why is it called the Age of
Arb crisis? So you did not say what needs to be done
then in the period. We don't have any kind of milestone
for the age of 40 because the world is constantly evolving and changing. The world
we talked about in the previous episode about artificial sex, which until
Shoshanim didn't even exist. And the same consensus that you have at
age 20 and you have at
age 40. The opposite is true. You have more tools. You have more
data. It's that you're actually in your head saying, "Wow, I'm
already at a different age. It's all in your head."
I completely agree. First of all, this is a very
important insight. You're already trying to calm me down. But
I'm asking, wait a minute. A person who reaches age 40.
Come on, come on, wait a minute.
I'll say it differently than in the past. The
workplace I brought into my life. My father told me, "Wow, I would
tell me, look, what a good place. Thank
God, you're settled until retirement. Here's a place.
I told him, Dad. I won't be here for more than three or
four years. Someone who forgot after three years. I
left. I'm moving forward. I'm today. Today. So. So.
Once upon a time, really. Age 40. You started thinking about a
pension at age 60. Not today. Today. Today. The retirement age for a
pension. You're getting later and
you're not at all. Not thinking about retirement. You say
I'm constantly evolving. So where is
this psychological stop here? this is.
But yes, I think there comes a moment when you have to
stop. okay? There are those who stop on their own and there are
those whom life gives them a slap on the face to stop on their own. We
will stop.
Okay?
I got this spoon at the age of 40. That's actually
interesting.
what? chapter?
Chapter 15. Yes. You were around 40 years old. yes.
I won't tell you, but more or less yes, and
I was in a
crazy race
[sighs][gasps] My business is already there. I remember
going to get a valuation of my business. How much is this business
worth if I now bring in an investor? 25 million,
100 million, okay, you've arrived. Let's say yes.
What now? And suddenly something happens. God sent
me what's called the spoon on the face. I met you this
morning. Someone tells me, listen. I just got
two spoons. And
thank the Creator. These spoons are the
greatest gifts I can receive. So sometimes
it comes in the form of a birthday gift.
Birthday. Instead of waiting for the spoon, do
it in a celebration. But stop for a second. Check what the
event is.
What do I want to check if I've reached the age of
40. And I want to ask for a moment. Where do I
take my time? Where do I take my
time? This is the most precious thing. We had a chapter here
about time, right? About 4,000 Weeks, about the book
4,000 Weeks, I
don't know about the book specifically or anything, but we talked about it
,
we talked about it, yes.
So when you're raising children, at the stage where you know, you
get married, raise children, you don't really have time. People are going
crazy just to make ends meet,
and today even more so.
So, there's a certain moment that you need to create
and ask yourself, "Moishe, Moishe,
what about you? Where are you in all aspects of life? Where are
you in your personality? Where are you in the
things that are important to you in life? Where are you with
your family? Where are you really with your achievements? Where do
you want to go? What would a life that was worth
living be like for you? I agree with that
very much. And I'm like, "Wait,
why did you stop me?" What were you so afraid to hear? Oh okay,
go on, you've achieved so I am yes yes it's
hard for you to hear what I'm saying
well wait
maybe because I just turned 40 well these are
questions that a person starts asking themselves the
question wait
who am I am I another version of sophisticated
artificial intelligence speaking of the chapter on intelligence or my
name who is this me now what can I
tell you that instead of me slotting myself in
today I get a lot of opportunities a I am here
on a lot of projects in their early stages that I can
be a partner in one day they also give me a lot of
advice
and one of the things I received in my crisis is the
gift to understand
who I am not what are the
things that I thought I was and discovered that I am not so
I know that some will say no maybe it's a perception
why are you just shutting down maybe you can be in my eyes the
complete liberation no I
allow you to be much poorer and sometimes
it hurts you have to give up a lot of
things and I think that age 40 is a period of time that you have
already passed 20 years from the day you came into the world as if
into the world of action more or less at what age are
you You got married at
21.
21. Beauty is a momentary stop to examine all the
important things in life. To see a moment. This is what I
wanted to be. This is what I dreamed of. Is what I dreamed of
still relevant? Are my dreams still being
fixed? What do I need to replace all
my dreams with? What's going on? Is there a book called
Mizzy My Cheese? It doesn't look like you have it
here.
Yes, I have it. I don't know if I'm
physically well, but I'm physically well. Yes, I have it. Should
be the same.
And one of the things I read him years ago, one of
the things he writes there, I don't know if it's from someone
he's bringing, some
young person who's 15, 20 years old, that's a quick take?
No, I don't think you have it here. I am here
from this outside. Oh
okay
he brings up that some one who had a list of
goals was a young man from 15 to 20
70 72 goals things he wanted to do in life and he
fulfilled up to that age he fulfilled everything the
vast majority and then he is how important it is to write
goals to write your dreams what are
her dreams at the age of 15 at the age of 20 to reach the summit of Mount Everest a to this one alone here here here to
do once a
journey like this and that to write a book for him I have
looked at the book all my life about this chapter that died something stupid the
person stuck stuck for 50 years in the dreams of the age of
20 because
you know people do at the age of 80 to dreams
of the age of five
you are talking to me about 2040
and that is exactly the purpose of this crisis this crisis is
meant to awaken a person if after all what what is
this crisis experience there are people who experience it what are
they talking about
I had someone like that this week and he writes me a very very
painful email this because in the trainers course we
really have a chapter on this issue chapter 23
where I talk about Czech it was other things
but also this As if about life management, not
time management, but life management, this is a very moving chapter.
The person writes, why listen? I really
seem to have asked myself where I am and I am. Shaar
Uri has been for several weeks.
This is what a 40-year crisis looks like. And it can happen at
any age. It can happen at 30. Everyone does
it at their own pace. One by one, they meet at 50.
So there is one who, as I said, this crisis is because
he has achieved nothing in his eyes. And there is a
person who has achieved and says, "
I am" and he has no answer.
So what I came to say again is, "I am not." So wait,
what is the answer to that? So I am.
In two things. A. I agree with this issue itself. And I, who was a
guy in a yeshiva.
You hang out with Harfi Bazon. He doesn't talk about
these things.
He talks about it a lot. He is actually not
willing to be taken as Judaism as something that is disconnected. What is
your mental psychology
and your way of life? Yes, there is a Torah. There are commandments. There
must be a. If you are a Nia at 40, then what does the Holy One,
blessed be He, say
about it? Let's take a look. One second about everything,
everything must be said, this is the uniqueness in fact,
and that is why it is so popular, so people
come in once, hear, come to disturb it,
yes, because people don't like to be confused, give
us the Torah in the Basmidrash
and life separately, whoever lives life is not a
straw, in order, joys in honor of the Torah that has caused, right, right,
it was a great pain, and it is something that is really,
oh,
part of our Esther here in a generation that people think that such things are not
related at all, that on Tisha
B'Av you can get to yell, yell at a person
in the middle, or that children can hit,
this regime of thoughts, in my opinion, is the worst thing, as if
what we think now, everyone should think, and whoever doesn't
think like that will receive violence, in my opinion, the
most terrible thing, and it is simply, it escaped me to
talk about it like that, but I also experience it, Hezki
Hasid, Belz, oh, simply, the thought police,
what do you mean, Hasibel, from Hasidism,
from all kinds of extremist groups that come to demonstrate against
some priest who is doing his job
or between some thing that causes terrible violence, the
police You think of allowing someone a different Torah opinion
as if your Torah opinion is the one that determines and everyone who
does that is simply one religion for a colleague or violence. Listen, listen,
here we are talking about a very wise Tamid who has,
oh, the great ones of the previous generation had authority over him and
he is a human being. He has thousands, thousands, thousands of
students. Even those who have repented that he has returned.
I also learned that it is me.
You write his articles in the family.
But I don't know. I said, okay. I'm going to start
listening to him because of them.
So that's it. Then,
those children who attacked him in Medina. We were
chatting. But no. So, come on. Let's get back
to the point. I said that I was a
guy in general. In 17, 18. I wrote a sentence
and that's how I remember it to this day. A
sentence like that. The sentence goes like that
all day long. I run away from myself and myself chases me
and I run away from him at night. I get to bed
and myself is there and he asks me.
Not many times. He is not there. You know what
people do. They
take their cell phones to bed. God forbid, there will
be a moment.
So I was in a yeshiva that I didn't have anything like that.
Yes, or read a book
or come to bed only. Who collapse because these few
minutes of I will meet myself wait who am
I this is the conscious me self this is the inner self
beautiful that they will
not meet God forbid and forbid beautiful
and then and myself if you meet you run away
because the self is there and asks me where are you
and I have nothing to answer him so I am the
pain you know this is the biggest problem we have if
we talk again about the 40 age crisis it
exactly sat on this point
so here is exactly my question that
I did not meet myself meaning the self is the conscious me as a person chasing
after achievements and after goals and after and after and after and after and
after
you don't think in our generation today here I am
exactly number 40 the eyes Aharon Zilberg has a
certificate 40 influence up to the age of 40
so you see this is you age 40 did something to you yes
I also received such
tweets act tweets such someone
oh no I think it is that it is real but a
I think it is not so fair to take the age
40 of 20 years ago and 40 years ago
for what it is today I mean today Moshe age 40
is In my opinion, a symbol
because the perception of time has changed and what people do in a year and what
people do at this age changes,
but it's not for everyone. You need to look
left and right for a moment. Really, come out for a moment. I feel like it's like a lull. When there's someone,
because everyone's used to coming.
So, okay, what's happening?
Look, what's happening. But for people at this age, most
people, I'm not talking about people who are engaged in
personal development. They're already in a different place.
But most people, 20 years have passed. As far as they're concerned, you're
saying, reality has changed. Not for everyone. Reality has changed. The
reality around them has changed. Has the reality
of most people's lives changed? Will I run away from sitting in a
kollel now? 20 years is fine. He didn't necessarily
choose this. I was six months ago. It's cold to talk about what kind of kohl?
We talked about the fact that you need to take
your methods to the world of Torah.
Yes, I do. And I want to. And it's in the program. But it's cold. That thing is
very bad for me. And I gave it some kind of name.
You know, a conversation. And then okay. A conversation that I prepared and then it
started. They started to think, "Shlot," and I
personally shook a person. I say, "Actually, I
understand. I'm sitting like this." 13 A year in the kollel I never
stopped to ask why I'm here so
now following the decrees and the law of the gyuz and the denial of the
inheritance and all these matters
so it actually makes a lot of people angry
but but a person who doesn't have this brake doesn't have
this stop and no matter the trouble it's a
personal crisis a 40 year crisis or some kind of bankruptcy
or all sorts of things like that a
person who doesn't stop meaning a year can go by and
he doesn't stop for a moment to think I and I haven't met
himself for a moment
so a 40 year crisis is a very blessed thing when a
person starts asking questions now I know that people
here who are called you want answers for a moment so
what do you do Zim they want answers for example we had an
episode we had an episode Alica which was all
mostly questions
people wrote me stomach answers what but a 40 year crisis
I think in essence first of all you have to raise a
question heck heck
right you were crazy now there is someone who is
at 40 still in the same madness he was at
25 so it's possible that this decree will come at
50 he will have given up most of the children and somehow the house will
empty out here is a syndrome The empty nest is one of the
biggest crises of women, but not only women, but
also the
house needs to be cleaned up. The children need me. They need to wake
me up at night. They need to be made to sleep in the morning. They
need to be prepared. They need to be woken up. They need to be woken up. And suddenly they fly
out of the nest. They go to a yeshiva. They get married. And a woman wakes up in the morning and asks, "What now?" And now this can be at the age of 50 or at the age of 55. It depends. There are those who are at the age of 45. It depends. Everyone has their own family situation. And people really go into crisis because they lose meaning. So here you are. This
also connects to the episode we had about a mission.
Remember this episode? Silence succeeded in the house.
Yes, thanks to Yochanan Hannerach.
Yes,
it's not the mission. It was an episode of a.
Yes, yes, yes, about Yehud.
Yehud. Yes, it's just me. What I'm actually saying is that we are
really in the month of Elul now, and it's a time of a time of
repentance. And it's actually a time in
the year that we are actually meant to set
our goals and direct them. And after that, once
a year, we I also told you this once
in one of the episodes that,
as you always say, vision is something that once
Once in a while you sit down and write it down and then you work and
focus only on the goals. Oh, the month of Elul, do a manshov.
And all this period is a period of agreeing on the vision. And after
that,
now come, come, come, come, go, take a look around and see
who does it. What percentage do it? They
really do it. They don't do teshuva. And they do it. It's true. It's
clear to me that everyone who comes and prays,
but how much do they really do?
I'll tell you that a person. I
told you before. Come, I want to
repeat it here. You saw in one of the books that a Hasidic man
came to his rabbi and told him that he was finishing the
prayer and his head was hurting from so much
intention and his head was really
hurting. So he said to him, "I don't
understand the fact that in all your hearts, prayer is in the heart. How did you
get to the head
now?
And it's so true. So true. Because it's true that when you
direct in the heart, you also direct in the brain because you
want to because you connect with the words that you say. But
if someone only connects with the words and they don't,
their heart is not there. So then you didn't pray. So
I'm
now. So the same thing. When it comes to Elul, many
people do what it says in the book. You have to do. You have to do. You have to do. You
have to do. Confession of the past,
acceptance of the future, what are you telling me here? You see,
in the coaching course, you also have this issue.
There is a fear of honesty. I mean, people are afraid
that the moment I don't remember in which class you
do it, then there is a stage where people seem to be
afraid that their suggestions will fall apart and then what will happen? What will happen?
The moment I do
their forehead right? In the first 20 years,
usually a person builds the persona. There is some kind of approach that
he builds the persona. What is a persona?
It's like who preaches who I am and who I want to
show the world.
And he finished building it at about the age of 40.
He already has status, he already has a job path, he has already reached
some position, he has already reached some
salary again, and there are those who haven't yet
, but most people somehow found themselves in
the breath.
And then there is actually a fear of honesty. To take off the mask
and also in those. Answer. Everything that I am.
Then they do the answer in a way that is right.
But
because he is not really willing to check
exactly. Open the holes. Justify saying, okay,
who am I really? What is really happening? That's not it.
Maybe I'm supposed to change everything that I
do.
Exactly. I'm not. Want to deal with it no no
institute touch it so you say actually age 40 it's
supposed to be a
microcosm of the of this thing of a of a month
bro I I'll tell you something we really live
on the 40 day before you gave birth but and no one is going to
religion in wood age 40 and 40 years old rakot in generation and 40
40 and I and I say I still feel 35
feel 30 I don't feel 40 could be that
I was 40 in a few more years I don't feel
40 you
so you can uh a can
be suspect imitate I'll be honest with you with
our zines I don't want to do you now treatment
in front of the cameras I'll just say two things one
you do work you do all the years not just
sitting here what's your connection on the podcast
my man personal development he's been doing all the years
in this but there's also something there that sometimes you really
need to have some kind of crisis of
taste you haven't tasted yet maybe yes I don't know
no we didn't do an episode about it here
and I'm experiencing a lot not one I told here and there's still a
full life In these things and if you are willing to
enter into these crises, you don't know how painful
it is but how much good comes out of these crises.
You say, there is some book, how not to
miss a crisis, a good crisis. That means crises are
because I'll give you an example. I'll give you an example.
I'll give you an example. Many people have had a time
between times. Yes, yes, those who celebrate
tend to carve out time between times.
People spend
time together. [Laughter] Or
now, people go out with their families, spend a lot of time together
with their families.
Okay,
and some people lie down. An unusual mental trend
during this period.
We have an episode about vacations.
Yes, this is it. In a nutshell, it was a feature episode. A
very good episode,
right?
But it didn't talk about the crises that occur during
vacations. Whether you're going out as a couple, or
with your family,
you're suddenly in a place to meet the kids for a
morning, evening, or Saturday when you're already exhausted,
you're on vacation all day.
Suddenly the whole day is on purpose. You discover all sorts of
things that you might not have discovered. You discover the connection
between you, you discover the lack of connection, you discover
sons I raised and raised and they are
like what I wanted them to be and the same thing
about peace at home the same thing about the
relationship system within the family
now there are those who experience a lot of a lot of
pain
and then what do they do then they say well listen
this needs to stop with all these trips just
fights and just a mental tendency that's exactly and
there are those who say wait a minute there are problems that freedom
creates and there are
problems that freedom only reveals
once I gave a taxi driver one he told me he told
me he was retired he finished working he was in the army in a cage for many
years I told him you are a driver he
says look I retired after a few months my
wife says did you notice that we are spending all
day
I told her wow right you are right what happened I said
you will find more time too much time away from home go to
work understand
you let's be a driver
you understand now instead of going and solving a minute what is the
root why we fight come on so let's run away so
many people who have passed between time with difficult with the
family the same thing c also holidays that are coming It's the
same, it's the same event in a different way, but the same
idea.
They're just waiting for this thing to pass and let me get back to my routine.
But wait a minute, there's some kind of call here. There's something here.
How are you missing this call?
How are you missing this crisis? This should
lead you on a quest to ask questions
and start looking for answers to the questions, to the hardships that
have appeared. To understand, wait a minute, what's going on here?
Are we sitting now, the whole family will be having a
barbecue and everyone with their cell phone inside themselves
and just taking pictures and that's it together, but in fact no
one is with anyone else, only the children are
playing among themselves
and what if they are adults, they are inside, each with
their cell phone? So this is what people do. This is the
way to escape from a crisis instead of being in a crisis and
understanding that this crisis is an amazing call
for you. Just agree to be there, agree to be a moment
in this crisis
and ask questions and a moment to go look for answers. Most of
the answers are within you, but you usually need
someone to help you get them out. Or you
should also go learn something, really answers
to questions. Questions about the essence of life,
questions about mission, questions about who I am,
questions about what I really want to achieve, what
legacy I want to leave here. A. Everyone with
the questions they asked themselves. This is the purpose of turning 40,
holidays, soul-searching between times. Everything eventually comes together
into a crisis idea whose purpose is to lead you to your
next level. To your next level, it's a huge gift. And don't you
think that most people are afraid of these questions?
Obviously they are afraid,
so they go to bed with their cell phones, so that one moment they
won't have the question they'll hear,
which is nice, until the moment they fall asleep? Do
you think everyone can handle
this crisis? From
drinking.
Not only can they, they must. [Sighs]
It's a gift. It's just not living.
not. It could be that there are people who would be
taken away by something like this if they didn't work.
What will take them? What will happen? They will be lost, they will be
lost. Great,
start searching.
Need a slave who found who will take off drones into the air
you get lost people are afraid of getting lost what will
happen if you get lost very much you without you it
you very very speak in the language of ah of Breslov
I don't I don't know
the truth is that solitude people think that
solitude is talking to the name solitude is
going to meet yourself but I'm not familiar enough with
Breslov Torah to
speak it
but its name but but but its name really then it
really is a gift. I can tell you that I have also
experienced and I am experiencing
wow this is a very, very painful gift and I
understand why people resist accepting
these gifts why they fight everything the name the name is
good for me no no no no no no they will not fire me a
job that understands decides not to take
my job that and they are not ready to accept a moment a moment the name
wants something from you in this event he enlightens you I
told him the same one this morning he met he told me I
wrote a spoon I told him do you know what it's called
in English? Then I explained to him that it's also
called a wic,
what's it called, the sound of the sycamore tree? It wasn't a force.
Who helped someone and he hurt them? He came back
very sharply. I stopped helping people
and I don't. I don't give myself to people either.
Now I don't. I'm not a counselor. I'm not in a synagogue
in the morning. I don't give people a break. So I just
listened to him. I just told him this sentence.
You're a street trainer.
I'm not a street trainer. I'm just here at the clinic. I'm not a
street trainer.
I'm a trainer here. Anyone who wants to listens to me here and
undergoes training even if they don't come to me. So
I tell him, listen, that was the call of the
sycamore.
He didn't understand what I was talking about. [As a brother]
So he made decisions. He doesn't help
people anymore or he doesn't devote himself to people anymore because
he has received such two contradictions in his life. I don't
know if he hears me, I don't think so, but I
wish he could hear this.
You know that the Rebbe of the Vision, may he be healthy, who
sent him a prayer book, [ __ ], calling for the difficult years he had, the
sweet years, he was 19 years old, in a
difficult situation,
and I
think he is a figure of one of the great men of Israel, truly, that you can
learn from him how he is, how he
grew. What I really know is this: I remember once I knocked on his door. I was a young man. I collected money. I knocked on the door of a house. He opened the door. He never forgot those moments. He was so authentic and natural. I would have gone to the Har Hov Rashi. He had one. I would have come there. The story of Chaban is
what he is today. So yes,
he would have done the same prayers. The same
90s. The same ones.
But I tell you again, it sounds like the great men of Israel.
It sounds a little bad. You are distancing this from us.
And I say, there is no human being who does not go through crises,
and it does not have to be a crisis of age 40. It could
be a client who left you. It could be a job that
you realize is going to end. I mean,
it's not right and it's not right to wait for some
big paw and even if I feel at the peak and in the middle
exactly didn't take this time it's Elul and Oel
start like this open all the cards now it's
ready it hurts I understand anyone who tries to
avoid it really hurts hurts physically how many
people do you know that following a process that they
did themselves at the age of 40 they a created some kind of
whole courses full of people like this a high percentage
of them
average age this is this there
was a time someone did a survey the average age was
38
wow
today this is it's not always like this it changes but a lot of
people who actually yes it made them need now
before the episode a I got an email I popped up just a moment
ago and someone writes to me that he came to the course at the age of
60
plus the
60 year crisis
and it changed his life very, very significantly
wow so I'm
not me I declare and say I don't
change people's lives and the course doesn't change
people's lives
people change themselves yes
I don't take responsibility how do you say it's
everyone a of life but it's people changing
people changing their lives with the help of the course tool
okay so a
I'm like there I wake up reading this
chapter. I'm like saying to myself, okay, maybe all this
denial that I said at the beginning of the chapter is Reg, wait a
minute, we're in an era where age, age,
people's age is changing. I can give you a direct poem. I can
try. Yes, no, no.
What's your need to say?
Well, try for
a moment. Observe that
everything is still ahead of me because
I'm just in the middle.
Yes, because it's an answer to some question.
When a person says a sentence, it's usually an answer to some question.
There's a question there, and that's the answer. What is the question that's
behind this sentence?
What is the question? The question that
you answer and you say I'm only halfway through,
I've barely started. What is the question? The
question is, how do I want to celebrate
this birthday? No no no you answer
answer you answer me answer you say I don't
know what people want
I'm just at the beginning I'm like everything is still
changing everything
answer to what question is this no what is the question
that question the
question I can maybe maybe this is the answer
I refuse to make up my mind
okay what is the question the
question okay maybe you now you are already
closed now wait a minute
then explain the question what is the fear in the question that
you are not even ready to listen to
the question you immediately run for the answer
am I already am
you know I'll tell you from me
in one of the crisis barrel I sat with one of
my students let's say listen Yad Licron his name is he
told me so a he wants to sit with me when you worked on the
crisis he told him a sentence that I really objected to it took
me many years to agree with this sentence he
told me you are not able to solve problems immediately the
solutions
you are so creative and every time you have a problem you
immediately have solutions to the problem
and today I know how true that is and it is still very
difficult for me by the way I am working on it what is called it is
difficult for me to be with people in distress I want a solution solution solution
don't leave me from the problem
and I am slowly learning to be able Contain
problems
now you are not aware of the question that you are you are asking
yourself
you immediately you have so the answer wait I I I I
barely started the things in front of me I have a lot a lot a
second solution why is it a
response to what distress are you answering
I don't know returns it as distress I will give
you a
question come on come on be Nahdin Nidin it is there an
answer to something that scares you and you answer it
you even when we listen a moment someone threw
you the question something internal and you immediately answer you
try a moment to go the hole in what is called
reverse engineering when someone answers to let's leave you a moment
someone tells me listen you come in the middle of the conversation
and say I am an honest and loyal person I have not taken a
penny from anyone what do you understand was what was her
name before
someone put him in some kind of fraud some kind of theft
or suspected him of something or he asked him what
question is this now you know the answer you said at the
beginning of the meeting what was the answer once again that
I don't feel like gish this is a period of time that I mark
it differently than a year's birthday which question is are
you now ah ah is this
p
Continue continue are you now
if you now know a concluding chapter okay if
you are closing a chapter
because because what does it mean to conclude a chapter let's say that let's say that it
really was to conclude a chapter what is the problem let's say let's say yes
I am not in any status on any level in
my life I am not in the conclusions I am not in the conclusion stage
why because a conclusion means that
I am just starting a new business now
what? What's up? Because a conclusion means that you say,
if you don't agree, I create, a conclusion means that there is some kind of
closure. closure.
And what's the problem with closing? That
things are still open. Let's
say there is a closure. What's the problem with closing? No,
but there is no, but there is no, in any field I have not closed. There
is, let's say there is. And if it was
like if I were your son-in-law, I understand,
okay, it could be in a few years, it's
there.
I'm asking you if they told you that age 40 is a
stopping point, why do you oppose it? What's the problem with that? Let's
say it's a turning point, a chapter in life is closed. What's the
problem with that?
Because that's what I don't feel it.
I'm just asking why you don't feel it.
There's something there that is very, very opposed.
No, because there's some kind of rental decision here that this is the age that
things are supposed to be closed. No, let's say
it was
maybe 50 years ago, it was like this or 100
years ago. You're arguing with something and I'm asking why
you're arguing with it. It doesn't mean he's right. You're
arguing with some imaginary person who
tells you that age 40 is a crisis and you oppose him
now. I don't think he's right. I don't think you're right.
I'm asking why you oppose him. What
scares you about what he says that
age 40 is a chapter.
I'll tell you. Why do you think that you now have a house?
You're a farmer.
Yes, you're a farmer. You've sown a
whole year.
They tell you now. Come on. Summarize, I'll turn the fruits around a bit. I understand.
Now I'll explain to you. Explain to you what I understood. That's
okay.
Yes, there's
something you're not happy with where you are
today.
Not that I'm bending over backwards.
Listen. Listen. It's not good to demand that you find what you're listening to. I
'm in the middle. Don't stop me here. Don't tell
me now. Summarize. I have nothing to summarize right now. It's not good for
him
now. Moshe. I want. I want you to understand how
wrong you are.
Okay.
I've known Moshe for a few years.
10, 15, 15 years. Something like that.
Now I see the path you took. Leave like a
human being. Leave now in terms of a scoreboard on the
wall or in the bank
as a human being. Can we conclude that by the age of 40 you had gone on a
crazy journey with yourself, with your family,
with your spirituality? And if possible,
yes, but even at the age of 39, that's true.
No, but okay. So age 40 came into being and I said, "
Wow, what a path I've taken."
Now it may be that financially
you're not there yet, you don't know what you are and what
you're not. There may be millions out there
waiting for a construction evacuation that takes them a really long time
to figure out. You don't see them. Are you afraid
to stop? Don't stop and say, "Wow, what an amazing period of time
." At the age of 40, I'm changing my prefix. How
lovely. What a way I did. What an observation. Time to
look at all the moments I've made to date. In how
I developed, in how I grew, in how I coped, in what I
went through, in what kind of home I have, in what kind of children I have
, in what kind of relationship I have, in what kind of spirituality,
in what kind of prayer I have. You can say,
okay, at 50 I want a different station, but
this station, this is a crazy station. why? why? Why
object and say, no, no, you didn't close, you didn't close,
no, you didn't close, I want to grab something else here.
No problem, we don't need your life,
but I definitely think it's time to stop and even
say thank you to the Almighty for what I received, to
say thank you for myself and to appreciate the
incredible achievements of the spending plan. Maybe from the perspective of the
Wall Street stock exchange, it doesn't count as a name on the Tezdach board
because that's where they measure a stock portfolio.
Why is it relevant? Your stock portfolio.
The personality of who we are. This is the real story here. What for?
And it's time to stop and say yes. To
sign a chapter and say, "Wait a minute, what have I done in these years?
Who have I influenced? What good things have I done? What
will go with me forever and ever? Oh, we didn't
come here. Oh, you know, we're at the station. And the same
thing that people do to sum up a year in the month of Elul. It's a
soul-searching. What is it called a soul-searching? Soul-searching?
What was I doing wrong? No, it's not an account.
If you have a bunch of accounts that only calculate
your expenses, you fire them. Right? There are
expenses. There are incomes. There's what I've progressed. There's what I've done.
There's who I asked about. It's a soul-searching.
Some one who confessed
according to the alphabet. The good things we did.
yes. And so many people come, they don't want to, they don't
want to come to Elul, they don't want to come to Rosh
Hashanah. why?
Because for them, it's just about meeting the things that happened this
year and are what they want to achieve now!
Judgment Day, what will happen to me this year now? You
know that all the amazing things you've had
this year were determined on your last New Year's Eve. What a
crazy opportunity it is to reach Rosh Hashanah
and start a new year and how amazing it is to summarize the
year that was with its problems with
its obsessions with its challenges and with the developments you had
this year who who who you have become what what how how how
pass say no no no no I am still me I am at all in
the year of the Lazi I don't
know I don't want to year I am Lazi I am
in finance closing in Lazi
Why is it that I
thought hours letter M I look what look the
number 40 M looks the same in a big way replace the memes who
think it is some kind of closure of the numbers
and letters in a special Torah
you are running away nicely go to some gematria now
no I am doing some kind of closure I say okay we
need to close the issue
yes
because from here we just need I need to think
about it maybe maybe really a this chapter
agree agree to experience a crisis by the way to say yes wait a second did you
really make it to age 40 what I
thought I was going to make it to age 40 and if I didn't
then what does that say about me
by age 40 I wanted to make it to be like this and so
Dry and I didn't get there. You know the ones that say I do
n't know. Everyone has their own stories. What they
want? I recently found a vision board that I wrote. Some I
wrote about eight years ago.
Wow, it's exciting. Wow.
You don't know how
excited I am even now. I'm cold. Well, you got
there. There are a
lot of things I got there that I didn't remember at all.
Wow. And there are
things that are irrelevant. They are
relevant. This is
it. Suddenly I found some kind of a mess that I wrote.
Wow.
Amazing.
So yes, you need to have a vision. Yes, you need to have
dreams. But in the end, the real dream is who you are.
Who have you become? How did you fix
your soul, your mind, your personality?
What good things have you done? And
you tell me. And a vision for the next 40 years,
not just for the next decade? Not
far off. A vision for the age of 50.
