least egotistical person that ever lived

these false values with dementia but
Allah its man an imaginary idea

everyone else keep comments to you say
hi so Damian because his entire reality
was imaginary
give Shaw autumn Yahoo Liz Carmouche
occur when a person can live in this
falsehood who Parkman Africa Seamus
rattling moment see us the result is
that he creates a began in his soul
creates a blemish in his soul in his
reality he's
he's distanced himself from the true
reality a real cooz sheepish and i dare
he's like a drunk person who's not is
not completely with it I mean oh my gosh
is a steel river but doesn't even
recognize the contradiction in his very
own words he's not living in reality
autumn all live nice that's my moussaka
shall checker a person can thereby
create all kinds of ideas which were
false
you take oil Matt Damian should have it
because of the world of imagination that
he lives in she has that de minimis
completely removes himself from the
truth
zhenya it's like ashita shaky like me at
some abou symphony miss becomes a sheet
that becomes his way of being right he
doesn't he doesn't notice that he's
doing something wrong he doesn't care
he's doing something wrong
the thing he's doing wrong becomes right
for him becomes this is how I do things
okay she here like my head somehow who
said he miss him I've realized some
comments you've shown us and this sheet
of this new way of being that he's
created for himself everything becomes
false everything becomes false it
distances himself he's completely
distance from the true reality from the
truth Chicago right Solaris mr. MS even
if he wants to see the truth any other
lyricism as he's made himself completely
blind he can't even see the truth the
lyricist Irabu the heart to recognize
the contradiction that the the the
steerer within his own words his own
approach okay so this is the this is
what happens and room time for Linda
talks about at length that that a person
him imbue since his own soul haven't
forbid through this type of negativity
through this blindness the person gets
stuck and he brings down his soul which
is an incredibly high spiritual power he
brings it down to a very low level and
any instead of being drawn to roughness
instead of be drunk to drawn to
spirituality in truth he ends up being
drawn down he allows his his natural
desires to drawing down and to blind him
and make it impossible for him to do
what's right to recognize what's right
he's not able to see it now I'd like to
share with you the alternative Artic
he's speaking about speaking about an
idea which is very much related because
what what the what comes out of
everything that we're saying here is
really all of us we all have this
challenge we have the part of ourselves
which is the TV part the natural part of
ourselves are you so her our evil
inclination or hungriness of physicality
which draws us and pushes us to do that
which is wrong to live in a world of
imagination to imagine all kinds of
different things that we'd like to have
that aren't reality we have the sake
hell on the other side we have the
intellect we have the mind with the
Torah which tells us what should be done
what's right what's correct and we have
this Mohammed we have this these counter
forces which are fighting within us for
power and the author Navarro points out
in a very interesting amazing simple
thing but he says it's so clearly I
never would have expressed it I never
would have thought to express it this
way he says that each and every one of
us we are pulled by art ever we are
pulled by our nature the the the nature
of our nature is that it can pull us
towards doing something which is wrong
that's what happens that's how people
become addicted to whatever vices
they're addicted to right a person is
drawn even though they know it's wrong
they intellect knows the truth we know
what's right we know what's wrong
whether it's because of the fact that
perhaps we've learned about or whether
it's our natural understanding of
reality whatever the reason is we know
it's right we know what's wrong but
somehow when it comes to the new sign
when it comes to the challenge it comes
to difficulty when it comes to the
Yahara
our evil inclination drawing us to do
something wrong there's a powerful pull
and the intellect doesn't have a chance
says the Maitreya saw Adam unless we're
gonna find out what the unless is but I
want to read it inside he says like this
are you a telling me is that what comes
out of this is as follows I'll share
that I'd say it's right sir if you say
doctor since it's true that the
intellect does not have the
of pulling power this way that the the
emotional part of the person or the the
it's a horror of a person has so we need
a different approach will value DSS
acquiesce not just enough to know
something intellectually okay call your
side show you dears have Bonnie Rocco
Picasso so sickle because even if you
know something intellectually you want
to do what's right you have an incense
inside of oneself I want to do what's
right any sir is a Youkilis is Kohaku or
be be associate kill them that's not
gonna be enough says the altar on a
verdict in order to live by that in
order to have the power through his
intellect to be able to do what's right
come along at either a desire will come
along will be pulled after it became him
yeah you said shalt Cunha toivo if the
reason a person does is because he has a
good nature value sure is a nice person
diamond anomalous or whatever different
positive character traits a person might
have natural character traits in Oh
huzzah huzzah Kumu hula they're not
strong enough can cluster lagana the
make Nanashi LeSean a nugget person that
when a when the kind of comes in he
wants to steal you know you can get in
here's no problem getting in the it
Sarah wants to come and take a person
down
even if he's a very nice person it's
Eric comes along and does it so what's
gonna hold a person back from that how
is a person not gonna fall down into the
trap of a Cora and fall down and fizzy
it's a hardened to that to that lie that
he's accustomed to so what does a person
do he says like this he says an amazing
his son Hank Asher
I even rural honey Sian York invasive
nehru so when the when the when the the
test comes that wind blows him in a
certain direction
I'll just get blown away and I am a
psychic Philemon here's where I
underlined the Amos a financial motive a
GI so McAuliffe when is it possible for
person's intellect to have power to have
sway rock base shall you save him a
question of ability logical ideas who
rocky Ursula Kimura sunshine he says an
amazing concept deep idea if a
person has developed and is committed to
yearís hashem fear of heaven that means
I am oyster in effort she's gonna say
that flushing he's gonna use I will do
anything I will sacrifice myself because
I want to do her shams will I am
completely committed to a shams will
whatever the tyrant says that's what I
want
maracas cuz she got curse tarnish
amakura who she is what a person has an
experiential knowledge of what the will
of Hashem is why because he's learned
the Torah he understands the will of
Hashem he acts he's always trying to do
the will of Hashem I'm a serous nefesh
lasts me do configure at sauna Tara and
he tries with with the ultimate
sacrifice all the time to do exactly
what Hashem wants as a singer alarm
Benny saying such a person will be able
to attain incredible strength to
overcome a challenge an amazing thing
the yeah knuckle at Stella half lift
even a Peter and he will be able easily
says the altona verdict easily to do
what's right not to listen to hit Sahara
and do it at or assess and this is
something which happens all the time
everybody I want to say everybody many
many people today are able to do this
this is not something for a hundred
years ago for a thousand years ago this
is something that people do all the time
today people who are smokers and I heard
this one was smoker somebody's a smoker
and it comes Shabbos he told me as know
yet Sahara he has no desire to smoke on
Shabbos from the beginning of Shabbos
until the end of Shabbos and he said to
me that usually when you have a nice big
meal so that you finished a meal during
the week and you want to smoke a
cigarette I've never smoked in my life
so I can't really relate to this he said
on Shabbos you ever do a big meal and
you don't have any eights are to smoke
right why what's the vort because a
person would never light a fire on
Shabbos Casa shop person is completely
committed to Shabbos he's completely
committed to his year so he came his
fear of Hashem he
he's has a full sense of sacrifice for
this and I'd like to share with you a
story I just learned this today when I'm
tea when I'm when I'm sharing with you
from the my drinks other man fit in
perfectly with what what the time time
Friedlander is talking about and I just
read a story to my daughter from a book
called all for the boss of everybody I
said Herman I was talking about his
mysterious nefesh his dedication it was
so important to him it's so much
sacrifice to daven with a minion to make
sure to pray no matter what whether he
was sick no matter whether he was on the
road he was a businessman and he lived
in the early 1900's mid nineteen
hundreds in in the United States to
Israel ten of his life he was on a trip
cross-country on a train the train
stopped in st. Louis amazing story the
train stops in st. Louis it was early in
the morning he jumped off the train
there was this train was stopped there
for a certain time at the time he was an
hour an hour and a half waiting for more
passengers to come jumped off the train
he got in the cab which in those times
was a horse and wagon I believe he got
in the caveny said take me to the local
Orthodox synagogue and the cab driver
knew where it was he brought him in he
had already gotten on his Tolleson
tefillin and he walked into the shul
they didn't know him they'd never seen
him before this guy walks in from
nowhere he did everybody knew who he was
and he asked the DA before the homily
let the doll the Dominick and then he
flew out of there when that meeting was
over he said beautiful damn and he let
it in a inspiring way and he got back on
the train you made it just in time he
went on continued on his trip he didn't
miss a single - fela he would had
traveled throughout Europe by boat by
church by train by plane in those days
which was unusual in just an order
wherever he went he never missed a
minyan that's called mysterious nefesh
and afterwards after the story in st.
Louis so roberto bare of cabinets who
was Russia Shiva tremendous Torah
scholar Barbara Leibovitz so he was a
was a guest often in New York at the
Herman's ocularis of Herman's house and
on his path as he was going around to
different places in the States
collecting money for the Shiva he stops
in st. Louis and he and they
not long after this my Sarab yeah
curious of her man stop there and they
said they said over while those think I
came in we don't know who he was he
diving so beautifully it was a weekday
diamond he was just inspired us and he
and he left his fast he came we never
saw him after it must have been Elio and
avi and Roberto said wow that that
sounds like I can't believe it there's
somebody else in in America who's like
rebuked evasive Herman he didn't realize
there it was for be honest if Herman he
got back to New York and he visited
again at the house and he mentioned to
rob Yaakov ESF's wife he was in st.
Louis he couldn't believe this no one
else like her be evasive
who was so dedicated to tequila and
rabbits and Herman said that was my
husband that was my husband about whom
Roberto bear said he is the toughest
time of America he was that sadek of
America but what do we see from the
story and why don't we see if I'm a
draga Sodom that there's a certain level
of miseries nephesh there's a certain
level of years Hashem being interested
not just interested wanting to know
being willing to sacrifice what is a
choas will that ultimate commitment like
the person would never smoke on Shabbos
doesn't have a typo to smoke on Chavez's
that's what he says amazing washing your
knuckle it's at the half of TLP raha
Tara will be it will be easy for such a
person
excuse me to to do what's right the
person has that level of commitment and
it's within the grasp of every single
one of us I want to just read through
the end of her plan Freelanders peace
Vanessa Lana Terrace MS Jean gave us the
tour of truth had tire a heated CHL msla
for Adam the Torah is a planting of
truth within the heart of a person I'd
Kamisha a meal and material that's is
returning to the extent that a person is
working hard to try to understand the
will of Hashem as is expressed in the
Taira
the sky shelters SMS to attach himself
to a Torah of truth
Adam kind of believe I believe me use
you believe me you say to the to the
level that a person is committed
looking for truth so it gets into his
his core right
the Kaurava does say their core was the
core of who they were was Shakur was a
lie
and so it manifested as trickery fooling
fooling themselves fooling others a
person who's attached to Tyra is
attached to truth person who's committed
to Tyra is committed to truth a person
who's committed to Russell xem the will
of God is committed to truth and it get
a it goes straight in to the heart of a
person becoming you see as me this
Amazon its Lynette sucking at Sock'em
and that's something that lasts forever
just like the sons of korah they were
still there every 30 days jumping up and
saying my shemin's were serous IMS
because they had to admit that they and
and we were bad I'm we were liars and
this continues right it's something that
was move it was moved our it bored into
their hearts
the the falsehood bored into their
hearts Zelo my said correspond to this
in that on the other side on side of
good
the the Torah the truth has the ability
to bore into our hearts and to spread
and to grow and to expand within us but
I am NOT opposite hey no the we we say
that God planted within us eternal life
beyond my Riva Robbie's it's all my
Rebbe crime talking it's referring to
her death sir he explained communities
Nitin Gary man oh mrs. Patel feet
scuttle just like a seed that you plant
and from there grows a very large tree
kaha lead a highest cashew sauce Vegas
material by attaching ourselves to the
Tyra and I'm adding in by having that
commitment as the alternative artic
spoke about to the tire to miss serious
nefesh to sacrifice for the Tyra by
having that MS we are attached to truth
or no magnesium garden believer shallow
other shall hi miss cream its planting
within our hearts the the tree of
eternal life the that we should it
should go to with Samantha caelum that
continues to grow forever not just in
this world but in the next world as well
I want to bless you and I ask you to
bless me Shem should help us that we
should be Zeca
to be able to see to recognize
when it is that we're being drawn after
I used to her our evil inclination I
sure should help us to not just have it
and sickly it's not to understand things
intellectually or do things because it's
the easy thing or the right thing even
but because we have a full commitment to
year as Hashem - fear of God Russell
sham will of Hashem and willingness to
sacrifice for what's right when we have
that we have the the sacrifice for the
truth so then that truth will continue
to grow it in us thank you so much for
