Bitachon 14 - Negative Bitachon
689 views
We speak about the idea of negative bitachon - where we unconsciously believe that negative things will happen, and they do - often in a way that could only be orchestrated by Hashem! How and why does this happen? How can we avoid this? What is the power of positivity and what are all the seforim trying to guide us towards in their discussions of bitachon? We discuss all this and more.

listening to the 14th we talk on podcast
and I'd like to share with you a thought
of the Hat that I had this week this
podcast is called negative baton what is
I they have negative guitar home idea of
negative betoken is is that it's
possible because of the way that Hashem
set up the world for us to have you
talking unintentionally perhaps to
receive something which we don't want to
receive something which perhaps the the
yet Sahara inside of us that negative
force which is inside of us which wants
to destroy us it's a horror which as has
I'll say is running after us every
single day to destroy us that part of us
actually draws to us through beat often
unintentionally something negative what
do I mean and I'll give you an example
which is a true story that happened to
my daughter in our house for Hashem we
speak about be talking a lot and it
happened that there was some kind of me
if it's not some kind of little activity
that they did amongst the girls my
daughter's in fourth grade finishing 4th
grade 10 years old and in this move
sauce they had to spend exactly not less
and not more than 2 shekels and get each
other candies and the Mora specifically
said that they should not get these
little cheapy candies but it should be
something which is significant not too
much not too little now my daughter had
be talking and her be talking was that
she should not get to Taffy's dude these
little taffy is it shouldn't be these 2
you know 20 I GU wrote taffies ok so she
had be talking that she shouldn't get to
things but and when we went to buy
something for the other girl and she was
opposed to buy 4 5 4 so we got her
something nice we whatever it was too
little nice things for a shekel each now
she came home crying because not only
didn't she did she get not get to taffy
she got one taffy which was a very
low-level treat compared to what she
gave and compared to all the other girls
had given apparently the girl her class
had been designated for her had some
kind of learning disability and she
ended up receiving less than even what
she had had we taught him and the way
that
I understand what happened is something
which I personally have experienced
perhaps we'll see if I get into any
personal stories about it but the the
the way that I understand what happened
was that
Herbie Tahoe was negative Herbie talk
woman she was afraid that she would get
less than everybody else that she
wouldn't get something good and because
of that fear she had be talking that she
wouldn't get so little but the result
was that on a subconscious level perhaps
she ended up receiving even less than
she didn't want to receive now how does
that work what's the what's the idea
what's the function had it what's the
technical function of that so we can
avoid that and I believe that the idea
is that as I said there's a part of us
then wants to self-destruct there's a
part of us that wants us to run away
from Akhilesh punku that wants us to not
have a relationship with a Shem and that
part of us is afraid it's afraid really
you know I remember I remember actually
if I told you the story but there's a
story with a boy that he was trying to
have be talking and he had determined
that is so he needed a certain amount of
money $1,300 for his summer vacation and
then he he determined how much it's not
Lucy we need to do how much you wouldn't
need to do and out of the blue he
received it was a teenager at the blue
he received a note with a check for
$1,300 from his uncle who had not given
him a birthday present for his Bar
Mitzvah now when he got that he freaked
out he was like oh my gosh it's exactly
what I'd be talking before and then he
didn't touch me talking for a year I
believe I believe I told the story it's
in Klan gold burgers books except the
six steps of baton so what what's why
does that happen there's a part of a
person that's afraid that if I trust in
a sham so she was gonna let me down okay
there's a part of the person but the
amazing thing is that that's very same
part of the person that's afraid of that
can actually draw to oneself the
opposite and I think that the reason
that this is true the reason that this
is true is because I could have Spock
who is a Loomis a bar like him Hashem
created because he wants us of course to
choose the good which is to choose be
talking to choose to trust in him to
choose to receive
good and he wants to give us so on the
other side of things it has to be
possible for us to receive something
negative and for us to so to speak blame
it on a sham then a sham has done
something wrong to us see I wanna have
you talk when it doesn't work excuse me
so that's I believe the idea so how does
one avoid that because it's kind of
unconscious it's it's on a subconscious
level that a person may unintentionally
have be talkin that something negative
should occur so there's a lot of ways
and I and I believe that a lot of what
we're learning about whether it's my
drink I saw them whether it's gonna be
solid bubblies all these different
things what they do is they serve to
release the negativity within ourselves
to release the belief within ourselves
or the fear within ourself of having be
talking right like if it's true and I
said I believe it is that there's a fear
that if I trust a sham now maybe you
won't give me what I want later or maybe
I don't deserve it right be talkin as an
altar says it's not dependent upon which
deserving it even or even a Russia a
person who is evil who tries to beat off
him who not just tries but has be
toughened so he can also receive
whatever he wants from a sham so the
eighth Sahara wants us to be distant
from our culture for awards or or the
subconscious is afraid of that closeness
as we spoke about in the parsha podcast
because subconscious is afraid to be
able to unlock be able to live up to
that level stay on that level so puts us
in a state of fear and we're in a state
of fear and negativity so the result is
actually the opposite of what we want we
can actually draw to ourselves or
receive the opposite Goku and and it
will look like an ace it can even happen
in a way which is unusually
synchronicities to use a terrible word
but but that that I could borrow who is
like aligning things it will look and it
is that way I shemin's align things and
because we need to have force of good
and Zelo myself force of evil we need to
have this free will this free choice to
be able to choose between the good and
bad so how does a person make sure to
avoid that negativity as a person you
know it's on a subconscious level so
what's the idea so I believe that this
is much of what we're trying to
understand him from the my dragon Sodom
much of what we're trying to do
is to quell the fear inside of us to
lower the subconscious mind which is
like a child within us like a child who
needs to be saddled in buckled up and
allowed to have perhaps its fear but at
the same time to know the amazing power
that there is when we trust in Hashem we
need to reinforce positivity we need to
reinforce our belief that a collage for
who can do anything for us and wants to
do anything for us like we mentioned
also in the parsha podcast you know when
the when the moroccan came into our
sister all day they saw it's a place
also shared in Shona hey Shona all right
sister the Land of Israel is a place
where there's unusual Ashikaga practice
unusual divine providence that being the
case they set themselves who are we to
deserve it and indeed a person has to be
on a level to deserve it in a certain
sense yes Russia can have you talking
but the reason that we talk on works is
because through the be talked on this is
how Marie she explained it through to be
taught him have a pair through this
trust and a shame a person raises
himself up and raises up his
relationship with Hashem becoming its
addict right
there's something interesting in the
davin we say Alex said he came and I
seed him in that in that Braco so we say
you know cos emails gonna be cell plate
has to frame out Guerra today : oh yeah
right we speak well it's a tea game and
the righteous converts volley no -
yamuna raha my fashion okay no I have
Rock'em have mercy and then we say well
call Boyd Commission Kaaba a mess all
those who trust in your name in truth
the Sun calcaneal Mahan place our
portion amongst them we want to be among
those who trust in Hashem raha Tasha
Michonne we've talked let's 'deacon the
trust in the mainstay of the righteous
so we see a sham yes we asked to be
amongst them amongst the tsadikim
because when we develop in our baton we
become righteous even if we've done
things wrong we become righteous in
respect to our be talkin that's amazing
thing about baton so what is the for
what do I want to bring out from this
what I want to say what if I when I feel
like I learned this week this is my
source
potaka Muslim for the week is that
through up to optimism it's important
been acumen talks about the fact mr.
gotelli there's peace in Cataumet it's a
composite command me to always be joyous
okay what is the idea
what is the idea of this what's the it's
important okay it's nice it's beautiful
to be happy
changes a person completely and approach
some it's this is different you know you
mean a person who's positive optimistic
you want to be in their presence I mean
a person who's negative you want to be
as far as you can possibly from their
presence so what is the idea the idea is
besides for all of that there's also
something else that happens because we
are always connecting taco - Burcu if
that's our mind space if that's what
we're looking for we're always
connecting taco - Burcu and we're always
receiving something from him we're
drawing something from him
whether it's through our prayers through
our toilets whether it's through our
Batak and our trust in him and it can
also be through our negativity it can
also be if we think that we're going to
receive something bad that something bad
is gonna happen to us we can actually
end up receiving that unintentionally
through negative be Tahoe so when I
switch into a state of optimism and this
is the test this is the this is the
challenge I would say when I switch
despite the fact that things are
negative I switch into a state of
optimism I'm always looking for the good
I'm always believing that things are
going to be good
I have you talking I'm gonna find a
parking spot this just happened to me a
cynic I'd be talking I'm gonna find
there's a certain spot I want because I
did I don't have to pay it's off to the
side of the of the parking area where
you have to pay I wanna oh I like the
free spot which isn't really that far
away from the mierqis so yesterday i
have you talked and i'm gonna find i'm
gonna have that spot and and i
consciously said to myself I'm gonna be
optimistic no matter what okay
I turned onto that side street it's
called an Getty and I drove to the to
the area in past that area where I
wanted to park and there were no spots
and I and I got to the end and I turned
around said I'm still going to remain
positive and happy taught him and I
turned around and literally I looked to
the left where I just passed and there
was no car in one of the spot
and I didn't see any car that left so it
could be I just didn't notice it which I
think is almost impossible or I don't
know exactly what the shot is but fact I
need to maintain positivity no matter
what which is something that we we
touched upon last week that there's a
difference between shalva and manuka
there's a difference between wanting to
have all of my needs fulfilled which a
person can have with baton but the
attitude that the author is teaching us
is a is an aspect of Manuka which is
that i don't need so much why because
when i'm not needing so much I'm in a
state where I already have everything I
already have everything that's the state
where I can draw I will draw to myself
or I will receive from ecology Buraku
what I need what I really need and and I
will not draw to myself I will not be
unintentionally davin for or having be
talking for something bad because I
already have everything that I need but
if I'm in a state of seeking Shalva if
I'm constantly seeking to have
everything that I need the moment I
don't have everything I need that moment
will I lose everything because now I am
in a state of negativity and I start
drawing to myself where I started having
unintentional be talking to receive
something bad so that's the powerful
lesson that I learned this week and I'm
working on and I wanted to share with
you so I'd like to read to you a little
bit more inside here from the mud Regas
odd I'm finishing off the piece about
shavon Manuka for me she writes a rack
shalva Xie Lily Marshall Ibaka is a
person who wants to have only serenity
having everything that their heart
desires I was healed cab Vicky's flying
there'll be a double problem she injured
so she nailed Amitabh dooby car
voiceover my love if you will want that
everyone honor him and bring him close
to me because because of his greatness
not sure I could come to light him here
I mean happiness America he'll be so
upset when he sees someone else being
honored I'm officially by not lying
she car boy sorry and stayed instead of
having the the right space inside of his
heart that other people will want to be
close to miss Davila besakih I give a
curry salad sign of Chicago ice
kkoma it will end up being when a person
is in the negative space that we're
talking about here he'll end up drawing
to himself more negativity because
people don't want to be around they
don't want to honor somebody who's
running after honor they want to the
people naturally honor someone who is
intrinsically honorable not someone
who's running after honor if you ain't a
Kazakh Ganesha shall I can expel my
Comenius Garbus somebody who doesn't get
affected by other people and other
people's opinions of him named Sasha
okay Becky flame so somebody who's
running after it
who's seeking serenity who's seeking
honor he gets a double punishment so to
speak emo vanish Bobby Clarice goodness
all returned undercover dama dama what's
gonna happen every was gonna criticize
him for this that he's trying to get
more honor
so besides for the fact that he loses
his imaginary honor I did my Galen I
feel as part of MSU right I've I've
actually eaten Lisa cuz she writes it he
also this is that cuz he doesn't get
what he wants he doesn't get that honor
mr. Shue who Marcus Bobby Curtis Rock
Lula so he is getting criticized for his
negativity and his running after honor
and he gets a double a double whammy
mini us or us he doesn't get what he
wants to be sign and he gets embarrassed
machine mu holla Hockfield achiever the
a shy boy and this is something from
both of them that the person will can
get very upset about the avocado the
cosmic leave him such a person who's
seeking serenity seeking to always have
what he wants ends up with nothing to
the focus on the negativity focus on
trying to get something I don't have
ends up you know paradoxically ending
him up with nothing ending him up not
getting what he had what he wants a lot
of units are my shoe right but a person
who makes himself not want that which he
wants not to need where that would she
desires bravado cause Allah gamma ray
person can get into a space where he
doesn't need that
he's my bottom self completely who need
some recall he saved through everything
with nish anorexic loom you're in a
mother vac right he doesn't want
anything so no one's gonna criticize him
who got me after Dubonnet autumn gammas
lay off some labels if somebody suspects
him of seeking honor
he doesn't care doesn't doesn't bother
him okay they've asked my share mutti
mutti boy they could think what they
want it's not true
doesn't bother him is a goofy Lloyd
Simcoe
Seneca Manuka this itself is joyous that
he doesn't he's not it's living in that
negative space that's called my new huh
that's the serenity that's the space
that were after in our search should be
talking in our search for a relationship
with a co-worker who we named Simon look
of a shallow Hamish native arm of him so
it comes out that serenity and and rest
are two opposite things you should read
soon lip here is staff Gakkai shava
somebody who wants to have everything
that he wants yeah call named Adam
ertzaina that everybody take heed of his
desires as evil ruler Baker boy so I'll
always have negativity inside of him he
called ever xu- it son anytime doesn't
get what he wants
Anisha sky-high manuka but sony who
lives this life of rest of quietude or
sure that's like imma Mecca s removal
cast of literal akan white police
doesn't key doesn't care how much
something costs doesn't care if it's a
lot it's a little in a vacuum my same
live if people are criticizing him if
not it's a Gish MacLeod manuka shalva
and it comes out that a person who has
Manuka who has that rest also as travel
they have everything that they want
Avel a McLeod shava Manuka but a person
who's always searching for that state of
I have everything I want doesn't ever
get Manuka of our - from a Kermit's use
the wise person who understands reality
royally Lavaca shrek i am a new ha such
a person should only be searching after
a life of Manuka of rest thanks for
listening
