Ari Goldwag - Tazria Metzora - Winds of Change

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with a gems never-ending assistance in relationships real 5777 2017 this week's part shows Terry emits aura and I want to remind you all again about my safe for my book perfectly imperfect breaking out of the ordinary and striving for greatness it should be in stores near you right now in Judaica stores near you distributed by felt I'm the book speaks about topics and personal growth and this is the time between pay socks and shoes to work on ourselves an appropriate time to get my say from my new book I'd like to speak about the partial we have this week podrían mats aura we speak about the matura somebody who has a spiritual malaise he has a spiritual malady and it's called sorrows which can be translated as leprosy it's not the leprosy of today it's a spiritual type of leprosy and it results because of a few different things one of them famously is on a person speaks Russian Hara when he speaks negatively of others speaks gossip so that person can contract this disease or us another way is through Guyver through being haughty being egotistical it also can cause this problem I like to show you a beautiful mesh that speaks about the idea of Seurat how it comes why it comes what is the sorcerer what's the reason for it versus like this this is in chapter 13 verse two other key about orbits re safe is a positive virus it speaks about the Khalif the process that a person needs to go through if he finds this leprosy on his skin what he has to do he brings it to the priest of the coin yes we diagnose yes go through a process in order to be more tired if you apply himself IWC if the measure says that this is what it means when it says reverse Locksley's LaRocca mishko to find a balance for the wind remind to condemn ego and the water was prepared in precise measure this is a verse in job and yo which of the 28 verse 25 and the first section of the maturation seems to be unconnected to our parsha but it is of course connected and we'll get back to that I'd like to bring it to the end of the message where it actually speaks about what this has to do with Serrat with our partial locks like lorac Michelle the wind has a certain balance remind EK mamita the water was prepared in measure i'm reviewed emerge more units and a mesh wall filled with every tarisha new nickname la mala Lynette Noel of amido even the words of Torah when a person is brought into the world so he's given a certain measure even a certain amount that he is supposed to receive each person it's preordained is predetermined that this person is going to have it easy let's say we're going to have special insight into learning to sukham to learning the verses and that's his place in surah other areas of Torah he can try to access but it will be more difficult be more challenging for him Noa Micra mission accom would Halawa sargodha there's sukham there's nash Nyhus there's the Gemara the talmud there's doubt the law as a whole office and there's a guide to the meddra sh so josh is economic run there are those who are sham free ordains that this person is going to his specialty is going to be micro the verses the bible itself the Echelon Mishnah those who Anna come commissioner that's their specialty VH the Talmud are those their specialty is Gemara th the Haggadah those who their specialty is Manish the ages of the Kulin are those who marry to have all of them there they're well rounded they're able to access all aspects of the Torah so each person has a specific way that he comes into the world that's a Mitchell there's a balance there's a media there's a certain measure that each person is meant to access when it comes to Torah it's imprinted into their soul dark hair another explanation let's slice the Ruach Mitchell that like go to the source before that is that Hashem makes the wind have a certain measurement night Shiva eylem the way the world is have Rhea summon each planning ruler you say or people can describe everyone can see on a person that this person has a little extra whinnies a little bit egotistical he's planning rockets ara person we can see that this person is a little bit more humble SHINee number you up get to cut time some people we see that that person they were born this way that they have a little bit of a foolishness in them reminds you can Amida and there's a measure when it comes to the water olympia Mushu Kolkata - Hesiod um the person when it talks about the elements of the person we have different elements in the world we have fire we have water we have earth so the human being is made up of two different elements water and blood the Shizuka am I am Ravi no dumb below had done Robin Elam I am when a person Meriton person is imbalance so his blood has a certain measure the blood is not greater than the water and the water is not greater than the blood Guzman should I take when a person is spiritually there's something out of balance in his spirituality mhmm I'm Robin Adam the NASA nod refocus when things are at a balance so he has too much water there's so much water in his system and it overpowers the blood so to speak and he starts to emit different types of Lake with different types of moisture which comes out of him Upanishad um Robin I love my Manasa met Sara and the reverse is also true and sometimes the person can have too much blood the blood becomes stronger as a result you know the physical body always reflects the spiritual and that's really the idea of the matura that a person who's out of balance will see what this means and how it applies to us but the person who is out of balance spiritually so on a physical level that's manifest and if he has more blood than water on this you know the way the measure is explaining it or describing it so we come to maturity becomes leprous a wdx Evod um the measures finished is often says that's why in the verse which we quote at the beginning autumn keyable or be sorry when a man shall have on his skin this Saros is leprosy why is it referred to as an autumn autumn is the name of the first man while referring to ourselves in that way because the the word are dumb is dumb which means or blood because sometimes there's an imbalance there's too much blood that's what the verse is telling us a dumb that a person has too much blood it's they've gone in the way of the things that caused Tehran's if they've behaved in that way they sin in that way so it increases the blood and it causes them to have sore us it causes them to have leprosy so it's very interesting comes out of the verse which speaks about this wind and the mich call the balance of the wind and the meda which is the measure everything is measured in the human being what a person is in the proper measure when it comes to spirituality when it comes to his ego you know a person needs to be right-sized person needs to be aware of their talents aware of who they are and not try to extend beyond that and also not to think that they're less than they are that's also incorrect that also creates an imbalance if a person is talented if a person is able to sing beautifully and they say you know I don't want to sing I'm not interested in using my talents that's also an imbalance or a person can't sing very well but they think that they can and they try to sing in places where it's not appropriate for them so then they're going to get in trouble it's going to be an imbalance there as well so that's a good mushrooms a good analogy for any of the talents of a person or person is egotistical it really means that they're trying to extend into a place where they don't belong they're trying to place themselves in a position which is incorrect for them and the results will be that if a person extends themselves there they're diabetic they're your typical or they're speaking about others in a negative way which is also inappropriate and creates a spiritual imbalance the result is that the contracts are us the spiritual leprosy now I'd like to come back to the first part of the measures it's a remarkable intriguing measures that seems I'm connected at first but actually it's really saying a very similar idea it's a like this other half moon of relation become accepted so Ruach should lovely missional diverse suite which we quoted speaks about this balance when it comes to the wind so the wind as we were speaking about until now has to do with the spirituality the word Rua doesn't just mean wind it can also mean spirituality can mean the spirit of a person so a person needs to have balance when it comes to spirituality that's what we saw before but in this part of the marriage so the word Rua is literally means the wind itself there are a few places of the mesh where the wind was imbalanced it was too strong it was stronger than it should be Coronado Hawk of asylum and it could have caused the destruction of the world they delay and these are the three circumstances academia of was in the time of joke Ayana moments in the time of Jonah academia almost no time of Elijah de Mayo but in terms of job she never says in a rugged old Obama haver hammock bar was a great wind that came from the other side of the wilderness he may yo inertia member the verse says in jonah hashem until rookie doula young that there was a great wind that was upon the sea and it threatened to capsize his ship meili ocean ever in the days of Elijah the verse says i emirates a vimana to bahar the verse describes the interaction that God has with Elijah and Shem says him go out stand on the mountain etc he national earlier God passes rookie Doyle of a closet with Farrakhan him and there's a great wind very powerful such that it would destroy mountains so see three different verses that describe a great winds unusual winds one time a job one in time of Jonah one a time of a larger America the bar shallowing the beauty of our show him said he also shall be a avi social you know here I so shallow Leo he says that this wind was the same when there was the same power it was the same type of wind it served a similar purpose and it's interesting as we read this because it starts off sounding like this wind is something which is destructive for the whole world but then it says that its destructive just for the individual who was experiencing it so let's let's stay together and focus here try to understand what's going on she'll I saw her by its high so I socialize job's affected just his house and it was as the eighth Joseph explains it was the type of wind that it was clear that was only happening to joke which would threaten his belief in God that was the purpose of it was wise God doing this to me she'll Isis venal I saw a shell you know the the wind of Jonah also was only for his boat she lightly my social Elio God was trying to teach Elijah something and that wind only affected him vane macaca Doyle ahem la social le o the measures points out that even though it's true that all three of them were great and all three of them had a similar aspect about them nevertheless Elijah's was the greatest of them it was the most powerful of them who deceive I you must save a lot of a that's where it says go out and you stand on the mountain and I believe the Magister is trying to show us that it was an individual specialized wind that was just for him so really we need to understand is this a general wind is this the wind that's going to affect the whole world as it seemed to be saying it at the very beginning because it said we're high or low half of its own it should have destroyed the world sometimes like it's something that affects everybody but then the major seems to switch and say that it's only affecting that individual that person so which way is it hold on to that question one more piece in the majors that also seems to be disconnected but we'll see is very much connected I'm out of time come back here I mean look ashame rabona talked about he said and there those who said that it was said in the name of the rabbis email Hamish is beau a cheerful Colin a foster Shama shoulder he Boris this is an idea we've seen before it's an amazing idea that all of the souls that Hashem intended should come into the world all of the personalities that God wants to come into the world must exist before them the King Messiah can come in order for the Messiah to come mashiac he's going to perfect the world he's the one who brings the world to his completed state it can only happen after all of the souls have been brought into the world so here we're using the same verse we're speaking about this rock and there's a missional there's a balance diminish is telling us that there's a certain balance there was embedded into reality that there are certain personalities certain people who need to come into the world and perform certain purposes they need to perform certain jobs in order for there to be a completion in the world in order for mushiya to arrive which represents that completion everyone has to come into the world and perform to accomplish that which they've come into the world to accomplish now the a POC appoints out that when we refer to mushiya to the messiah we refer to miss rua hapana mushiya Hashem the wind of our nose or the spirit of our nose the Messiah of God why do we refer to mushiya to the Messiah as the wind of our nose the first place in the Torah that we hear about the wind or the rooh of the spirit that has to do with a nose is when Hashem breeze into breeze that spirit breezes that wind the wind of life into other my reach on the first man Hashem gives him life gives him spirit and interestingly in our context so we have this book all the souls that were mentally created are referred to right here on the magic valine I'm worth to say Michelle autumn re shown there was a book of the first man how those exceeds the saber tell us Adam we refer to as we spoke about this a few weeks ago that there was a book of sham wrote at the beginning of time in numerating all of the human beings in all of that which they were meant to accomplish and that's that's ingrained into reality and they're all pieces of that original soul of other Mauritian of the first man so the Ruach appley the spirit which is imbued into Adam that's blown into his nose so to speak that is that spirit we are all pieces of that spirit of that rule and so the the first man encapsulate s-- incorporates all of humanity into him we all have to come into existence accomplish what were meant to accomplish before mushiya who is a reincarnation of Audemars be shown he's the same soul as the first man so he also includes all of us that can only happen when we have all come into the world and accomplished that which were meant to accomplish it's an amazing thing so the rueake pay no mashiac is the one who is the spirit who encompasses all of us just like Adam is the one who encompasses all of mankind all humanity it's an amazing thing if you think about you know mushiya is going to come the Messiah is going to come and what's he going to look like how will everyone except him and the answer is that when you look at mashiac when you look at the Messiah you will see yourself when I look at mushiya I will see myself everyone will be able to see themselves because of the fact that he includes everybody he has a piece of everyone's soul within him everyone will feel like this person understands him this person will be able to guide every one of us that's our Tobruk and when I speak about Michelle when the verses speak about the Messiah it speaks about him as someone who's about about you he's someone who has the ability to give advice he's on the mark because he incorporates everyone into him he's the one who can guide everyone to their purpose but really what we're saying here is that the ruach the wind or the spirit which is mushiya his purpose is to bring everything into balance to place everyone in their right place no one is greater than anyone else no one is egotistical and it doesn't mean that someone doesn't have a significant job and it looks like someone else has a smaller job but everyone understands they're all pieces of a greater whole they're all essential Hashem is great plan and that's this book this saber told us Adam which speaks about every person's individuality who they are what their purpose is and how they are essential to the plan of creation if one is missing we can't have machine at the Messiah can't arrive what that really means is that the Messiah whose job is to put everyone in balance his job is not complete until everyone is in their place doing what they're supposed to do now let's look at the previous concept which had to do with a wind that was very great and was blowing in such a way that it potentially could cause destruction we said is it cause destruction to the whole world or is it individual - Ellie Oh - Yonah to EOF and the answer is that they're both really true and it's most clear in the case of yo Nana le oh and I'll focus on them that they were individuals who had a level of prophecy they were able to see things they had a message which was for the entire Jewish people or for Yona it was for this great city of nineveh of 100 and 100 thousand people because they had that message because they were a soul that incorporated all those people into themselves Leo's message was for the Jewish people as a whole and yonas message was for that great city because they had that type of soul which was all-inclusive in a certain way they parallel the idea of Messiah so that wind was for them when when they were not willing to give over the message that they were meant to give over for Yana it was to give over TuneIn vague for Elijah it was to give over to the Jewish people as a whole when they were unwilling to give over that message there was an imbalance that was created their job was to bring the Jewish people into balance for a Leo / Yana his job was to bring the city of Nineveh back into balance by showing them the error of their ways so that great wind represented to them individually some which was true on a global level which was that there was a destruction that was happening there was an imbalance in the people that they were meant to guide and show and instruct to repent because of that imbalance destruction was inevitable that it would come on the world and when Yona India goes and guides those people gives them the muster gives them the direction shows them the error of their ways so then our Shems wrath is abated and all as well everything comes back into balance but that's his job that's the owners job in order that the Ruach that great win which is threatening to cause destruction nor for that winter to calm down everything the wind the souls of those individuals whom he's meant to instruct and who he represents they have to be brought back into the proper balance this in essence is what's going on when it comes to the tores when the person has the proper balance when he knows his place when he's done a sin and he recognizes that he sinned when he recognizes that his ego has gotten the better of him and he brings himself back into a place of another of humility so then everything gets back into a place of balance his spirit his rule comes into a place of balance his wind becomes calm down so to speak it's very interesting when we speak about a person who's Hardy we refer to him as that he's that he's full of hot air right it's the same concept the the Ruach the wind the spirit of a person is affected by his ego and he's not imbalance and so the measures his instruction is that just like we see when it comes to Elio to yo na te o that they needed to watch out there was a great wind which represented that there was an imbalance in them that there was an imbalance and knows that they needed to direct so two for each of us we need to see where there is an imbalance we need to see where you know in the olden times so we would immediately detect something on our skin and we would know that there was an imbalance on a spiritual level the spiritual was more clearly manifest in the physical but the Torah is forever it's message is eternal and it's telling us something for us and that is that we need to see and recognize and look for those places where our win where our spirit is out of balance and we need to get lastest lorac mishko like the verses in job we need to find the balance for our win for our spirit - economy do we need that water to come back into its proper measure so that it's not Adam Kia Barba sorry it's not somebody whose blood has become too great such that it causes this leprosy we need to recognize where there is an imbalance and try to our best to the best of our ability to bring ourselves back into balance so one of less you and please bless me I should help us to indeed recognize and be interested and try to see where it is and sometimes we're going to get feedback it should help us to appreciate the feedback not to reject that feedback from others the way others interact with us as a result of our imbalances should help us to be able to recognize it be able to work on it and to be able to find that proper balance thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for more
