Ep 02: Not Having Bitachon In Hashem — Being Fearful Instead

[Music] welcome to episode two of our balvi series the Bas Ali tells us in his second unit that like we mentioned previously the lack of beon is a sin and therefore he says this sin causes one Shalom to fall like the says a person's fear creates a trap one that relies on hemav will be fortified that means fear is a sin and that sin causes a person to fool that's a little scary that's a little scary that means every time I'm nervous about something I'm afraid something's going to happen now it's going to happen so the S calms us down a little bit and says we're not referring to the natural anxiety the immediate reaction the person has but once you overcome that initial reaction now your job is to work on your bet and that's where you're held responsible you hear that siren of course your pulse is going to go up and you're going to start sweating but now what do you do now you're supposed to turn your eyes up to Hashem and say Hashem you're in charge it was decided on R sh and even if it was decided negatively I could change the decree by relying on you yeah have to work on strengthening yourself so this is an important concept that worrying is really a waste of time we know that but the B is adding an incentive and telling us that worrying is actually negative the fear is going to cause a downfall now we can explain this spiritually like the BET said the sin of not having be causes problems but the maral explains a very interesting simple psychological approach he says let's say I take a 2X 4 and I put it on the flooor from one end of the room to the other end of the room and I say please walk from one end to the other room on this 2x4 everyone here is capable of walking on a 2x4 from one end of the room to the other now I decide to extend the same 2x4 from outside this building to the building across and ask you to walk across and most people will start trembling in the middle and probably fall off what's the difference it's the same 2x4 and the answer is when you start getting nervous you start worrying and you start fumbling and you don't do things as well when you're worried so the fear itself causes you to fall logically you should be able to walk across that 2x4 but the fact that you're scared that creates problems you want to add a little physiology to it we have an amygdala in our brain and when we're anxious it shuts off your thinking process there's a reason for that when you're nervous we don't want you to think when a bus is coming want you to make a decision should I run or shouldn't I run run it's called flight or fight it shuts off your brain but if we're in a constant state of worry and our brain shut off we can't make the right decisions and we can function so man's fear will create the problem but when you rely on you that creates a fortress have a wonderful day
