where in the world did you get this guy
from
that is the question where in the world
did you guys get this guy from
I still remember the Umar massage if
everybody's familiar with the podcast
you're you remember that that's what got
me here nothing I love Staten Island God
bless it but I'm telling you if if
there's one thing you need to talk about
in life is persistence there you go
and there's a thing called in life
the squeaky wheel gets the oil
as long as you squeak enough as long as
you hang around the the the the trying
to get a haircut you're gonna get one
hang around the barbershop you're gonna
get one and we should we should learn
from this we should really really learn
from this on how how to speak to our
creator and never giving up never to
give up because this is exactly what you
did every day every two hours blocked
okay I can't block him I can't be
Moroccan I'm not gonna block him
okay let me block him now again
and as I blocked him and unblock them
they're getting the message again so I I
said I have to give it to you and it was
just that window and Barack Hashem were
here we're here we're here with also
brother Brody and we're going to talk a
little bit about tonight a few things
just to really relate and bring it down
and have really really really we can
open up the pipelines spiritually
mentally emotionally
Etc so I'm going to talk about today we
speak about the connection with avraham
when avraham saw guests what did he do
avraham ran
spiritually your intention the way you
do things your little your ability to
have their results ramnathan says is
directly related to your level of Ramona
your level is not what you do it's how
you do it
I'm not going to tells us that I could
you could for example give charity to
somebody here you go
you're gonna get six plus six
but if you give them a kind word
that same transaction becomes 17
blessings the same transaction that you
just gave the guy a dollar but you gave
him a kind word you get 17. ramnathman
says that when you do things with joy
you transform whatever you're doing into
you know there's category one storms
into category five storm
right now we're in category business in
Florida but whatever we do it's the
attitude towards it so this is why we're
not going to advise this to wake up in
the morning with the result and he says
our level of your level of Faith
determines the amount of energy you have
period
that your level of faith when there's
energy there's faith
when there's no energy there's a lack of
faith
sluggishness God forbid is a sign that
you don't believe in what you're doing
and this is a problem because the way we
show up remember the curses didn't come
to us because we didn't do the Mitzvahs
the curses come to us when we don't do
it when we do them as an obligation not
as an opportunity
so this is if you take breast love 101
it's try to do everything you do
10x
put a little bit a little bit energy in
everything you do
and that is where the energy comes the
energy does not come before
you have to activate it and that when
you activate it the energy flows if I
waited for energy when I started doing
his about to do it or anything I do it
doesn't come before it comes as I get
into motion and this is where I see
today a lot of us were waiting for the
energy we're waiting for things to
happen they don't come it comes
afterwards and this is where your level
of their results is your level of when
Abraham avinu ran to the guest
ran
he knew the importance of running
because running makes everything
completely different just like if you
ask your son give me a cup of water and
he runs together for you
what would you think of him
wow
but if he says what would you want
like 2020 style 2022 stuff are you sure
can't you get it yourself
but he ran to get it to you I just want
to give you that analogy ask yourself
what miles per hour are you running
spiritually ask yourself 15 12.
your level of energy is directly related
to your level 11. and let me explain to
you something you cannot minor in a Muna
today because if you minor in a Muna
you're going to major in problems
bottom line
but if you major in a Muna you're going
to minor in problems or sages tell us
that a Muna is a source faith is a
source of all blessings wherever you see
faith in your life you will see a
blessing in your life wherever you don't
have faith in your life you will not see
a blessing in your life
so this is where we speak about this and
what is Faith related to Faith is
related to speech
this month we are dealing with the
consciousness of the snake
we are dealing with the Fallen nun of
hashwan the floods the confusion
this is the concept where we say the
word modim Modi means a hundred
and there's two nuns there's a fallen
nun and there's a straight nun when a
person falls down it's a sense of
Contraband falling down hard times make
you fall down your job is to make a
Decon and go straight up
and that's the tikkon this month to
build resilience at all costs and in
order to think greater than you feel
today you need Faith there's no other
way
explain to me practically how you can
think greater than your current
situation
how without taking any substance how can
I practically
think greater than I feel today
it's not possible only through faith and
that's what we have to work on today we
have to work on faith and faith is
related to speed
speed
just like you go to work it's fast
got to do the same thing spiritually if
you take up the tempo in both areas in
your life you will see a blessing in
both
because the way you do anything is the
way you do everything in life
so what word does is he activates us he
gets us activated
he gets the razona he gets the desire up
truth is anytime we fail it's not really
to knock us down the whole purpose of a
person having an obstacle today it's
only to what to feel the desire
obstacles are not meant to break you
obstacle obstacles are meant to make you
and if you're not you you don't have a
good relationship with obstacles or the
way we're doing things and I see
sometimes we walk into a synagogue
three miles per hour
four miles just people have no energy
there's no energy what's going on here
there's no energy there's no energy
because there's nothing but there's no
faith there's no energy
you have to scream sometimes like laser
you have to scream you've got a woman
you think people are getting uh robbed
over there
people are screaming for their lives
because they're activating their hearts
and we all know this tremendous amount
of pain in this world
but when you let it out I've already
taught my kids three four years old get
get used to screaming
get used to screaming it's good for you
screaming to your creator instead of
holding it in for 25 years and go to
therapy for 20 years I don't know which
one would you like better
I don't think there's that many
therapists in the Brussels circles do
you know that they're out of business
you know why because people are already
screaming to God and you scream to God
you don't need to hold it in
I hate my husband for the past 10 years
a good Moroccan breast of woman boy she
would let you have it right away it
wouldn't have gone 10-3 hours
but there's a concept that the opposite
of depression is expression
you have to find a way to activate it
you have to activate your heart you have
to let it out you have to talk
this is a it's a problem I don't know
where we we became so silent and this is
where Vernon tells us how you wake up
the narak says if Persian should
strengthen himself like a lion in the
morning so that he is the one who wakes
up the Shahar this means he has to wake
up and rise with the result without a
trace of sluggishness the trait of the
result is connected to a Muna
there's a very simple Concept in life
anytime you put a low effort
in anything in life it's because you're
looking at it as an obligation not as an
opportunity
and if you don't look at something with
opportunity that does not activate
Cabana you can't activate Cabana and
Cabana is where all the blessings come
when a person has Cabana when he does
something that activates the blessing if
I say something without kavana without
intention doesn't go anywhere
Cabana activates intention but first
before you do it we have to develop
ratson we have to develop a little bit
of fuel
a fuel a little bit of zest
that is what it's needed
and when you do that
you'll feel like a million dollars your
spiritual task will feel like you're in
another world but any single time that
I'm bogged down with prayer I'm bogged
down another Shabbat um bow down with
this off another this
you're not even in you're not even there
you're not even there and this is where
you should you shouldn't say okay it's
not for me you should cry out
you should cry out from your heart and
recognize I can't believe I got to the
level where I don't feel anything
you shouldn't just say okay not for me
you should cry out and say I cannot
believe this is the distance I've had
with my creator that I can't even feel
the words my heart is so s Like a Stone
that I can't even hear those words
and that's what we're missing today we
all want energy but if you don't have
faith
you cannot activate energy and where
Matthew tells us this is the way you
wake up in the morning look it's a brand
new day God recreates today
it's a brand new prayer it's never
existed before
everything is brand new that's exactly
how you have to live your life if you
live your life like that life is
constantly recreating for you but when
we hold on to things when we don't do
anything with all this trauma and pain
what happens we just we sit with
therapists for years and years and
nothing happens
and this is this is the this is the
goddess of the srina when we talk about
says the Galas of the srina the srinath
is in Exile
is when people are sad and depressed
am I talking about clinical depression
but this is what I feel the energy here
that's what the name
this is the month where you can take
that pain and and really use that pain
to fuel you
he didn't walk he ran
great people run the things they look at
it as an opportunity they're not walking
around like it's an obligation
because if you the what you focus is the
energy you get into anything
and this is this is the key to this is
pretty much the the beginning of
everything
because if we don't have this I mean if
our attitude is off
you know people show up they give you a
wonderful resume and they want to hire
you and they want to uh they're asking
for the job
and then the person shows up
and you're like is there a stolen
identity here
like what happened to you
that's the way we show up sometimes
so this is why we're not going it's okay
to be Brokenhearted
that's the time you yearn but you cannot
settle for mediocrity spiritually you
just can't do it and that's what I'm
trying to do I'm just trying to change
the game
get people more activated because when
you have energy that energy will show up
you'll show up with that energy to your
wife
and you'll show up energy to your kids
and that energy will flow everywhere but
when there's no energy you don't affect
anybody you infect people and when
there's no ammonia there's no energy
just related no Mona no energy because
without ammonia we cannot think greater
than our current circumstances
and from that one says this plenty says
and this is is a very evil trait and
it's not about
mean the same thing when a person has
confusion and a person has is very
sluggish and he muddles his prayer and
he muddles things and he does things
with with his head is somewhere else
it's all due to a lack of faith
and this is this is exactly the bite of
the serpent we're going to talk about
four causes of anxiety
but the most important thing even if
you're going on a date
even whatever you're doing Brand New Day
brand new this don't walk around oh it's
the same thing over and over again oh
another day same thing because what you
say is what you got
the only reason I've had I think
consecutive classes for the past you
know 1200 classes
it's because of this attitude the
attitude of Renault the attitude is
today is my first day getting in class
tomorrow's my first day giving a class
everything is new
today's workout is new
today's relationship is new the whole
Mikvah concept of the Mikvah renewal
why because that is our life
our life is renewable and if we can't
renew we will expire
and then we will drop outs
and this is something where I'm telling
you right now there's so much light just
doing just a you know I've gotten his
bow to do prayers that I felt like
a person on cocaine
I've gotten spiritual experiences where
I felt like I was on top of the world
and I didn't do nothing I didn't buy
anything it was all done through prayer
that is what ramnachman brings us he
says when a person has simcha in his
what he does he transforms the simple
action into a higher level than nephesh
ruach it goes it takes a simple but it's
the attitude
the minute the attitude is off
you don't get anything
The Joy when you when a person has Joy
when he does something
and yes you could worry about something
that's not going to happen tomorrow
or you could just be in the moment
when you're in the moment and you're
able to have that kavana
that transforms absolutely everything
you do
and when you do that that's where the
blessings comes blessings come
breaks every obstacle
and simcha breaks
all the gazeeros
that is the key that is what we have to
get into
and we say many times not all successful
people are happy but all happy people
are successful
not all successful people are happy but
all happy people are successful that
you're guaranteed
whether it's with your children either
way you have to do it anyway do you
understand either way you have to do it
either way either way you're going to
pray you're going to shabbat whatever
you're going to do you're going to do
anyway why what's what's with the
attitude why can't we just turn up the
attitude a little bit what's what are
you holding on to like what what are we
buying
are we have we bought into this program
that the dullness
and the worst thing in life is not to do
more it's it's it's to recognize that we
don't need more information we need more
connection
there's a lack of connection between the
hearts and the mind
when the heart and the mind
the distance between the heart and the
mind that's why we can't do anything and
we're not getting anything in the world
we do
and there's nothing worse than walking
into synagogues and walking into places
in life
where nothing's nothing's Rising
nothing's rising and this is what
hasidis brings us to the table it's a
gift
because otherwise it's nothing more than
worshiping tradition
or sometimes we worship
cause of law but when I worshiping God
because godliness is joy
if godliness you're the screen in your
life there's joy a Creator dwells with
the persons in the state of central
doesn't stay with the person whose
husband
so let's talk about some of the reasons
why we could be losing some of that
let's talk about some of the reasons
what's causing us I think I picked up
pretty much four reasons
of what what's why are we not in the
moment and how do we get there
and I think you're going to relate to
all these
and I said to myself what out of all the
thousands and thousands of people
comment the phone calls situations what
is the what are the common
four common things
that I get that people end up becoming
God forbid either they're anxious or
depressed or whatever it is
again
I may be right I may be wrong there
could be others
but I pretty much nailed it to these
four
and I can pretty much guarantee what
you're going to see sadness
you're going to have a problem with time
time
Consciousness are directly related
time only exists in an absence of
Consciousness let's remember that when
time when you when you have
consciousness
time no longer exists for you for
example let's say you're at on a great
date
or you know you're about to close the
deal for a million dollars
you're not you're in the moment
or anything that you're in the moment
anything you like like we say time flies
and then you have when you're having fun
we've said that a lot but when you're
not there time contracts so the direct
there's a direct relationship between
time and consciousness
our goal in life is to develop the
consciousness
so that time does not affect us because
remember what happens when time does
affect us
imagination takes over
that means imagination cannot exist if
there's consciousness
if I have a hundred percent Trust
where does
paranoia exist
where does worry exist it can because
I'm what I trust I take action and I'm
all in
there's no room for paranoia there's
only room for fear
fear induces paranoia
fear induces worry fear induces
all of these things but when time when
when we rise in consciousness
time
no longer exists
so when I tell you I need you to talk to
your creator
for 20 minutes some of you 20 minutes
could be like oh my God I can't even
stand I can't even I have never even
been where I haven't touched my phone
for 20 minutes
I don't even know what that looks like
20 minutes talking to myself
impossible
but if you know 20 minutes is nothing
it's just like your kid telling you how
long does it gonna take to Orlando
three hours
are we there yet are we there yet are we
there yet are we there yet
for a kid he doesn't understand the
concept of Time Of Consciousness so time
is a problem
you tell a kid you get you'll get it in
a half an hour
he'll go out of his mind
so our job in life is to develop our
Consciousness where time no longer
exists and when Thailand no longer
exists there's no dinion which is
Imagination
because it's the imagination that's
causing the problem
The Madame the imagination the paranoia
the thinking of the worst case scenario
things that don't even exist I mean I
know people buying toilet paper after
covered
why why toilet paper I have no idea
that you could see when there's hysteria
people run to the toilet paper
because that's where their heads at
that's where that heads at
God forbid you should run out of toilet
paper right that should be here
the world's coming to an end let me grab
on the toilet paper
thank God
you just I just want to explain when
you're not thinking straight
your mind will go
to the point of even getting toilet
paper
yes because that's where your head's at
toilet paper
think of where your head's been when you
haven't been in focused
and you see
this is not the first time
what happened with the Jews motion
didn't come down in time they freaked
out next thing you know they're serving
the golden calf
from receiving the Torah to serving a
golden calf
what happened
because when we lose track of
Consciousness that means if you're not
constantly working on fueling your mind
and growing
you're automatically getting defeated
and when there's when the imagination
takes over
the rest is history
your imagination will take you to Dark
Places that don't even exist
that don't even exist
90 things don't even happen to people
ninety percent of the things that people
worry about
don't even happen
so imagine you're wasting 90 percent of
your life on things that never even
happened
and you're so worried about controlling
and not letting go
so what do you want to blame God for
what do we want to blame God for what
our ego did to us
but when there's no private conversation
with your creator when there's no
consciousness there's no growth yes this
is what we get
this is what we get
so let's talk about the four things
to remember the snake is no longer
inside of us outside of us the snake is
inside of us and the purpose of the
snake is to make us depressed
the snake is obsessed with control
and the more control our controls the
way we control why we control things
is only because of
insecurity if we were secure we had beta
Han
no paranoia nothing to worry about
we spoke about yesterday
that Abraham avinu he was 75 years old
and he was also in the word betahon
which is trust 75
my year what will be 75
what was llama why 75
so there you go 75
you have 75 you have to worry about the
future you don't have to worry about the
past
and you don't have to worry about
getting out of comfort
there's the solution
your creator wants you to trust him
and to the extent that we fall from that
we fall into anxiety Etc
so the number one thing that's causing
most of our sadness I would say which
remember when we don't accept pain
the more we control things the more we
get angrier and angrier leads to the
rest
his number one self-obsession obsessed
with self
everything's a things about me
there's a guy that asked him what's your
problem he says my problem is I'll let
bent he says I love bent
foreign
self-obsession we walk into a room look
who's talking about me everything's
about you
the number one problem is when you have
low self-esteem we become the center of
the world so you think that everything
happens
is about you
and if you're thinking about yourself
all day long you're going to guarantee
to be anxious
the more self-obsessed we are the more
miserable we are because believe it or
not you were not created in this world
to just think about yourself all day
long
that self-centeredness self-centeredness
is the root of low self-esteem
the solution to self-centeredness is
what
humility
humility is not it's not about me
that means somebody could say something
to you
things can happen and you don't
automatically predict the worst case
scenario
you do that because you're self-centered
and that is a result of
a lot of self-esteem
and we relax self-esteem our ego expands
and we become the center of the universe
everything's about you if the coffee
machine broke at Starbucks
my massage everything's bad everything's
about you nothing no everything's about
you it's raining it's about you
so right away that there's no way you
can have happiness unless you start
becoming humble and humble humility
means not to be so self-centered
to look at the whole picture
to look at the whole picture you have to
ask yourself are you a can I look at the
whole picture or is everything about me
if you're saying all the time I'm
getting insulted all the time
this is a sign you're self-centered
because at the end of the day you can
only get insulted if you take it
personal
if you don't take it personal you can
get insulted
it's not possible for you to get
insulted unless you take it personal
and the reason why we take things
personal is because we're holding
that energy inside of us
that's number one
number two
social comparison
a classic stain in your lane
if you compare your life to other people
which is again same concept it is going
to guarantee you to become
and not only does the egg Tahari
specializes it custom makes whatever
you're lacking he shows you
if you have no hair you're going to see
everybody with so much hair of chefa
that you'll be the baldest guy in the
room
if you have no kids you're going to see
strollers everywhere
if you're broke you're going to see
everybody's making money easy
if you're single everybody's married but
me
the answer is custom made to you custom
made so you what happens you compare
your life
and when you compare you this spare
see how he's got you he's got you it's
got you as long as he's got you out of
your own lane he's got you
the minute you compare the gamara says
when a person focuses on what's not his
he loses what he seeks so that cuts the
Law of Attraction and whatever he does
he won't appreciate it so he'll lose it
too
do not compare and if you're going to
take if you want somebody else's life
make sure you take the whole package
not just the highlights that you see but
what are you looking at somebody else's
life for anyway
we all have we all have problems in life
nobody has the easy we all have it just
some of us work harder than others
some of us work harder some of us trains
have flipped but we're not in this world
this is not this
the wholeness
the matter of whether or not you can
bring light into your situation but to
say oh this guy's got the perfect life
she's got the perfect life it's the most
ridiculous thing you could ever say
and not only that it's taking away from
what you're supposed to be doing what
are you doing in somebody's Lane
what are you doing you don't have enough
work to do in your own life you don't
have enough work to do
so when you work on yourself you
recognize oh my God I have no time to
look at other people's lives I'm busy
social comparison the minute you compare
yourself you're going to come to despair
compare leads to despair
so ask yourself are you socially
comparison yourself to people the only
thing you should do is there's people
that are successful be be grateful for
them or ask them for help
but to give them jealousy give a lie
want bad for them and compare your life
to theirs and that's what social media
does it's unattainable goals these goals
some of these goals are unattainable
some communities have Eating Disorders
because they want to be have
unattainable goals
when in the world did you have these
Eating Disorders at this rapid stage
like this
who has heard of such a thing like this
because you compare you Despair and you
lose yourself and this is where you have
to have SIM card that you don't compare
the whole point is when you when you
have a Muna
this is his life this is my life and
remember we all have different missions
not everybody has the same mission
so the minute what are you getting
involved in somebody else's life form
what are you what in the world are you
getting there so that's a guaranteed way
to lose because anytime you're jealous
is an absence of a blown up
and there's no way your life is going to
get better because you're lacking a Mona
so there you have to
you have to actually stay in your lane
and in life it's funny because it's
exactly what you the desire
of what you want is blocking you from
receiving
so not only are you in the wrong lane
but the desire desire stops you from
receiving
for example let's say your friend is
really popular and then you want to be
just as popular to him and you're going
to try to be so so nice to everybody so
you can popular it's actually going to
block you because people are going to
see that you're desperate
the more you want to be liked the less
people will like you
the more honor you want the less you're
going to get it
the more attention you want the less
you're gonna gather so it works it works
actually the opposite because you cannot
attract from scarcity
you can only attract
from feeling abundant
you cannot attract you will not attract
nothing but problems when you live in
scarcity you can't Attract it knocks off
the law of attraction
because you're saying I am poor
but I want Rich it doesn't work because
you're living in scarcity
you cannot if you have if you feel
abundant
you don't even have to ask for things
although just come to you on whatever
you feel in your life and it works a
thousand times because you don't ask
anytime you want something out of black
it's coming from sadness
it's coming from I'm not good enough I
am not good
I need this and that itself is exactly
the hope the problem
so when you have social comparison it's
basically sabotage blessing sabotage
how many times do I get I don't
understand she's not so from and she's
doing great and I'm from and I'm not
doing great
are you playing God now
are we so busy that we don't have enough
time that we're actually playing God who
God who deserves to be punished who
doesn't who why is why is I'm up 10
nothing and she's only on 3-1 and how
come I'm not getting more of that what's
what's going on with people's heads this
is a weird in elementary school here
but these are the phone calls you get
from from people your shots
why am I not receiving number one you're
not ignoring you're not in the right
lane
what are you looking at your neighbor
for
the blessing came in our lives
is when we didn't stare at other
people's tents
that was one of the blessings don't
stand don't stare at another person's
tent
and if you do want him you better take
the whole package
mother-in-law everything everything
correct
it's not a buffet where you get to pick
this this I'll take this I don't want to
take this I'll take it that I don't want
to take you have to take the whole
package many people say goodbye I want
to be just like you do in class okay
come come to my house 3 30 in the
morning and we'll I'll teach you
come 3 30 in the morning
you're more than welcome
are you ready to have some discipline
oh no no no I can't do that okay go go
somewhere else
but you wanted this there's a price
there's nothing's for free nothing's for
free you want it you got to put the work
in you gonna put the work in but don't
tell me you want to do this and you
don't want to put the work in
that you cannot do
so if you want to be in shape there's a
price to be in shape
there's a price you want to be in a
higher level you want to be happy
because the price for happiness too
takes tremendous amount of focus
everything has a price point but there's
also price for not doing it too
so in life you have to ask yourself what
price do I want I'm going to pay a price
I might as well get paid get get
something out of it so there's a price
for doing and surprise for not doing
there's definitely a price for both
but nothing that's not an option that's
not an option
number three
outcome Obsession outcome obsession
I'm so anxious I'm waiting to get
married I'm so anxious I'm waiting for
this I'm so excited outcome obsession
that is the number one number three way
to be miserable just wait for the
outcome wait for something to happen so
you can be happy
I'll be happier when my wife becomes
nicer to me
take a number
pick a number grab some snacks
book a five hour massage with laser and
he'll break every bar in your body
take a number
I'll be happier when this happens and
the minute you wait you make your life
on a condition
that's it you're already lost
it's the decision
not the condition
you need to make more decisions and less
conditions
you cannot tell your creator I will be
happy when this happens I will be happy
when this happens
it's not doesn't work like that
does not work like that
the spiritual law of attraction I
already told you is joy
when you are happy you attract things
and things that you never even thought
about
but if you wait on conditions you are
replicating
the sin of Adam and Eve what was the sin
is separated the the fruit from the tree
they separated the process from the
price
you know why we love the edge stroke so
much
why don't we hold on to that joke why
are we spending three hydraulics on
natural
what's what's with the head show
three hundred dollars five hundred
dollars people spend a lot of money on a
Metro it has to be perfect
because the etrobe the fruit
tastes exactly like the bark
of the tree
it's perfect it's it's being present in
life when you look at an intro okay the
gemara in
Suka 35 talks about it's the Perfection
it's when you look at an edge up that's
you in Perfection the Perfection of
being present living a life
of being present
that is a present you only realize that
being present is the present
that's what we do we're looking at the
that's the task list the goal is to be
like the edge run
to see everything that the process and
the prize is one you should be just as
happy as when you're single then when
you when you got married
if we could master that level that we
can Master the process
and then the prize will not take taste
anything different and this is exactly
what happened on the third day of
creation the Earth disobeyed and then
that process became two things so now
all of us say
I can't wait to make a deal so I can
breathe
no breathe and you make the deal
when you make the process the prize by
being present by not being a ah what's
the scoreboard waiting for the outcome I
can't wait for the house to be over I
can't wait for this to be happy you're
finished that's that's already that's
already you lost
because guess what's gonna happen
guess what's gonna happen in life you
think you're gonna stop there
oh the worst thing we could do sometimes
is
gambling
you win
if you could only just stop
if it was that easy
but guess what The House Always Wins
doesn't it
you don't win
you could win 10 times but then don't
worry they'll catch you the 11th time
they'll get you the 12th I'll pick you
up from the airport airplane they'll get
you they'll give you the they'll give
you the attractive sweets somehow or
another they're getting you in there
because you can't stop you can't stop
chasing and they know
and they work on a set model of
psychology you will continue to Chase
because we are obsessed with the outcome
how many people have really yeah and one
that's it I'm good
casinos wouldn't be open today
Vegas would be a a swap shop it would be
a flea market
if everybody can stop gambling you
understand you would see a flea market
people selling melons
but clearly it's the case so this
teaches us a big lesson in life do not
determine your life on outcomes
determine your life on conditions and
states are you in choosing to be
Pacifica I don't care if the house is
ready if the house is not ready if this
is good if my wife is nice to me today
if she's not nice to me
if my husband is nice to me wonderful if
he's not it's wonderful also
you know why because our life is like
the Moon it's not going to be full all
the time the weather today is amazing
tomorrow it won't be amazing probably
and the next day things change it's
called life life happens
to those who are busy planning
you gotta live in the moment you've got
to live in the moment I'm telling you
right now anytime you say to yourself
I'm waiting for this to happen I'm
waiting for this I'm waiting for that
take a ticket and even if you do get it
now you just doubled up on something
else but when you're just making you a
condition
of I'm going to be I'm no longer a I'm
no longer separating I'm going to be
happy with whatever happens then what
happens is people want to be around
people that are happy but people are not
don't want to be around people that are
desperate
and when you get into chasing things you
become desperate and when you become
desperate nobody wants to buy from a
desperate person nobody wants to marry a
desperate person nobody wants to be
around the desperate person
because they take from them neediness
you're not you're not a giver you're a
taker
and people could feel it
we don't want to act desperate
fake it at least
thank you take it till you make it do
what you have to do but stop waiting for
outcome that's why there's so much
sadness
because if you really really recognize
that the process and the prize is the
same thing
I mean I'm I used to gamble I've already
learned those lessons already but you
for me you teach me one time you don't
have to teach me twice
one time I got it thank you for the life
lesson Hashem whatever cost me thank you
but I know anytime my my day is
determined on an outcome so what happens
tomorrow the stock market's up I'm going
to be happy if it's down I'm not going
to be happy what's my whole life is a is
waiting on the S P 500 my net worth is
my self-worth what would is this the way
we're going to live
what are we going to look
you can't live like that because you're
hostage you're a hostage to conditions
and when your hostage conditions you're
done
then everything else takes a hit
spiritually mentally emotionally and
then what's next oh that guy's fault
this guy's fault it's the same pattern
over and over again
but we're not learning the pattern learn
the pattern don't separate the process
from the prize enjoy it as much and not
only will you get it you'll actually get
the price but it won't you'll say okay
wonderful I got it
and once you have that formula
you let go of control you do the work
you let go of a control work hard let go
of control like work work hard and let
go control but when we're sitting here
controlling the the outcome of things
it's just what we're we're playing God
and we're not gonna we're not going to
succeed in that and that's what America
is we're all into this
if this happens if that happens if that
happens enjoy the process
but Beirut said it beautifully yesterday
you have to even thank thank God for the
problem itself because that's part of
the process
that's actually part of the process
the process will never be straight it
will they will have many you'll have
many many many new terms that is part of
the process
the breakups
how many times have you said God if you
didn't break my heart you break you
broke my heart to save my soul how many
times did you guys think the
relationship was perfect for you I can't
believe you did it for you can't believe
he did this to you you broke your heart
but he saved you now you could see it
but before you didn't see it
you have to master master the present
moment
ask yourself today if you stop chasing
if you just made a condition conditional
happiness not decisional happiness
instead of conditional happiness that
will change your energy
it will change your energy you'll have
much more energy and you'll continue to
do the work
but we don't want to be desperate sad
desperate
look at me am I receiving and everybody
else is receiving it you're not going to
attract nothing nothing but problems
and number four
believing the challenge is bigger than
you
whatever doesn't challenge you doesn't
change you that's the fourth most common
call or situation that I get with people
the situation happens and they don't
believe sometimes I'm saying I see their
situations
I said are you threatened are you
excited
I'm threatened that's the problem
God does not give you something you
can't handle
you won't he will never give you
something you can't handle he will never
give you something you can't handle
but he will give you challenges
but if you believe that the challenge is
bigger than you automatically it's going
to invoke anxiety
Panic hysteria but if you believe that
you can handle it and it's good for you
then you will be excited
Channel your anxiety to excitement that
is the most important fourth lesson
it's bottom line are you going to get
challenged yes is it without challenges
you won't change
how else are we going to change with
each other you have to get challenged
but if you look at the challenge and say
and the difference is when you feel
challenged you're focused
when you feel threatened you're
completely you're completely fearful
you're frazzled
so whether you're not you're handling a
challenge correctly or not is to the
degree that your belief is this I can
handle
versus I can't handle this
and whatever you do you think you can
you can you don't think you can you
can't also
but if we don't these four things
self-obsession number one stop thinking
about yourself more time
the whole world was created
for you but not about you
number two compare
you will despair
stay in your lane
number three
outcome Obsession look at the Etro hold
hang on to negrove if you have to and
remember the edge of represents the
process and the prize becoming one
no conditions anymore decisions
decisions to be present and number four
believing that you can handle the
challenge
with excitement not being threatened by
the opposite
man shouldn't help us all that we should
all Merit
to now refocus our energy once we're
once we eliminate these behaviors and we
change our food that will give us more
joy and when we have more joy and
presence then whatever we can do we
could tackle it with more I also all my
classes are on Spotify
under my name guitar Fenster I strongly
recommend
listening to the Daily podcast
it will program your mind
it would change your focus
because in life you get what you focus
on
all we have to it's funny if there's one
thing that we just have to watch all day
long is what we focus on
if you can master your focus your master
everything else I want to introduce it

all this Joy all it is

if you haven't been happy up till now
okay remember this date remember the
state this is before the 13th of
okay this is the last unhappy day of
your life
[Music]
this is the last now for now it all goes
up it all goes up anybody and I'm gonna
prove it to you
but to get us ready for it
I'm gonna take a little bit of a result
and mix it with some sore and the famous
three volume book called
it's a classic book that says what goes
on after death people that don't have a
Muna they say yeah bill you don't know
what's going afterlife oh don't mess
around with Hashem in Israel you know we
just had elections and there's this
party this left-wing party called merits
and they said before the election they
told the truth there's no Hashem
so a voice came out in Sherman he'd been
in the government for 30 years there's
no merits and they didn't make the
threshold they're out okay don't mess
with Hashem okay there is a Shem and
Hashem is Alive and Well Hashem did does
and will do everything and Hashem is not
retired playing golf in Palm Springs
Shen is right here with us but we don't
know
so what happens in the afterlife
let's
take a view of the afterlife
as if we're seeing a movie in 2022
okay you go up to the Heavenly court and
Heavenly court is like a movie theater
and it's your life you've left after 120
years and two days why 120 years in two
days because Hashem loves you you don't
want you to die on your birthday
okay so we don't Bless the people behind
here twenty hundred twenty two two days
okay the day after have a nice birthday
party all right after 120 years and two
days you go up to the Heavenly Court
and you sit up here and there's the
Heavenly tribunal up in the balcony and
in the audience wow your grandparents
your great-grandparents all your loved
ones and the sadiki Abraham Isaac Jacob
Sarah Rebecca rahele they're all there
and all the way down the tadiq him are a
great prep
and they show oh
a show on the screen behind you the room
becomes completely dark you can't see
the noshomas because you're you're a new
you're a newcomer a newbie upstairs and
you're not yet you just before your
trial your trial is not the start and
they turn you around you're like in a
straight jacket you can't move
and share swivels and you're forced to
look at a movie of your life
that is very very embarrassing now here
the good news is what's get edited out
the non-desirable things that a person
did shuva for if someone did true before
she had enough you know let that come in
they did true before but there are
things that maybe you forgot to do chuva
how does a person forget to do chuva we
know if a person does weaken the body
his bodily hygiene is taking a shower
every day there's spiritual hygiene
cleaning the nashama one of the
prerequisites of being happy is to have
a clean ashoma now how do we clean our
show in the shop every day that we give
a spiritual shower every day and what's
a spiritual shower every day
and Hashem I messed up on ABC and D okay
they're very simple it's called the scar
treatment a transgression puts a scar on
the soul
and just like they have scratch Windows
if a window is clear it's translucent
Divine Light comes through it sunlight
comes through it the soul when it's
scarred it loses Divine Light we do a
scar treatment
the light comes in what's the scar
treatment very easy s that stop the bad
behavior C confess to a shin a apologize
that shame I don't know what got into me
and aren't resolved to do better now we
can't promise Hashem we're going to do
better because he alone does that we
will do everything and Hashem is not
going to fault us but Hashem is going to
ask us why did you not ask for my help
why did you ask for help say she would
do better oh because this we do every
day
and this right is where we speak to
Hashem every single day
and we have a smile on our face because
we have no according to a couple of
there's no deeming there's no Stern
judgments we clean ourselves up every
day every day so we have a smile on our
face but a person that forgets about
what he or she did wrong this is
outstanding it's like a dead an unpaid
debt at the store or the credit card
debt it just keeps getting bigger and
bigger and bigger and these dating these
debts they manifest themselves in all
kinds of troubles
and they bring us down and we become
unhappy hold it we're back in the
Heavenly Court we're watching the movie
and the first movie you get to see two
movies the first movie you see in your
life
oh is that embarrassing
shows in the movie what you said behind
closed doors well you didn't think
anybody heard
what you did behind closed doors or you
think no one could see
and think well you know maybe Hashem
didn't see Hashem can't see here have
been forbiddish it everything is right
there and if you don't believe
that every single detail is in that
movie do you believe in Google search
do you believe that you could type in
anything you want to find in the world
that's right there
is Google search
is more powerful than Hashem
who gave his school I should have gave
his Google search
Moses he knew all about that but Moses
preferred to learn from jerusal with
Hashem and 40 days and 40 nights three
different times and not mess around with
high-tech that's the technicality no
this is spirituality is much higher so
you see that first movie The First movie
is painful enough it's embarrassing the
second movie
is even worse the second move you know
what the fire of purgatory is people
think that there's a big fiery furnace
like the one that
nimrovino and his fiery furnace that's 1
200 degrees Fahrenheit No
have you ever been really embarrassed
and your face changes colors let's feel
like a fire in your face it's on fire
that's what happens in the second movie
now they show you the second movie the
second movie is what you could have done
if you lived your life with happiness
and somebody live my life with happiness
they said oh yeah they showed the great
people live their life the happiness and
they were so productive and so positive
that such Achievers it's so charismatic
and they did so much rebe knock but look
what he did the 38 year old life the
Ariza look what he did the 38 year old
life they asked the holy Ariza
people said I always take your breath
let me okay no breath understood
let's talk to reason the Ariza the
father of Kabbalah rabbit how did you
get your spiritual level he says because
I did every mythical with joy every
single midst of this oh not cavunders I
did
hashem's name and a year and that I did
every Mitzvah with joy that's exactly
what gedalia said
the resale I put on his track shoes
and he did every single Mitzvah not in
10 flat and 9.84
he won the Olympics with every infant
every single one this is this is the guy
that died from did do a little hazor and
what godalia said I hope everybody
learned it everybody absorbed it okay
this is the Sim
but you're a slugger she didn't get
anything done
and what you could have done now they
show you what you could have done
okay now the trial starts and say first
day you get to stay with yourself you
say what a Hashem what are you
talking about so I I didn't feel happy I
didn't feel happy
I didn't let you
let you I didn't let feet it was your
life more difficult than of ramadino do
you know beloved brothers and sisters
that every one of us is alive because of
the joy of avrah mafino would it be true
if I'm from how would you feel if a
voice came out and say you take your
firstborn then maybe you had Ivy maybe
waited 12 years after the wedding but
however would be to wait a lot more than
12 years after the wedding before he got
insulin and when he finally got him
Isaac and his only son and the one you
love and take him up and harm my eyes
and shift him
wow so how can everybody
enjoy so what Blazer what proof do you
have them didn't enjoy a proof that
we're all alive why what proof is that
that we are all alive and Alpha mavina
went to the UK to enjoyed and what could
do the most painful possible thing and
went against it
logic what Abraham are you crazy the
whole world you've been talking against
all your life against rituals against
human sacrifice and now you're gonna do
it to your own son but
monotheism it's finished before it's
even started Jimmy the Greek the game's
Throne is blown that's it you're off the
court
the answer gave him every single reason
not to do it every single reason no
Hashem told me he put his intellect and
avrah mavino had a prodigious intellect
he was a three-year-old and he observed
the world better than anyone could do no
philosopher in this he looked the Sun
and came up with a cloud the cloud
covered the sun he said the clouds were
strong in the Sun and then cable wind
and blew the the clouds away and one
power another power and then came back
he said no it's not that there must be a
supreme creator
and the Supreme Creator revealed himself
to Abraham
so Abraham filing 10 10 tests one test
we're talking about
Taylor picks up that knife
and he's about to lay it on the jugular
of yitzha and to slaughter him
and comes the Divine voice
a Divine voice that says
Abraham Abraham don't touch your son
all the time out on the field time out
of the field call time out I'm gonna
open up my good more you know what my
Gamora says Michael Moore says
the divine presence cannot be anywhere
other than a place of joy which means If
Abraham didn't go to do that mitzvah
he couldn't have heard that Divine voice
it wouldn't have been there
[Music]
lived and Abraham heard that voice and
was married at the voice we are all here
today
now
so say wait a second back in Heavenly
Court
and say how come you're weren't happy
look what you could accomplished if you
were happy look I think there's the the
mental energy you want to save you want
you to go down the physical energy you
could save
well because you're ulcer you didn't
have a problem with digestive system it
was your unhappiness and your your
cardiac problems you didn't have a
problem with that your pulmonary
problems it was all because you're
unhappiness Hashem said I gave you a
body Hashem created a perfect body but
the body cannot stand unhappiness
I should be created but who says into
stress anxiety nobody can't stand Stress
and Anxiety
so wait a second so movement is good
stress and sagony why does everybody
have Stress and Anxiety
and they've got curse in their life
gonna answer right in the Torah
open up toys twice in the Torah Hashem
wrote it once and the the end of the
book of time wasn't it
where it's a whole long list of curses
which includes the Holocaust
which includes the first destruction the
first temple destruction the second
temple acquisition the pogroms it goes
it could get all the troubles why not
because the war in San Henry tells three
worse transgressions in the Torah
idolatry and illicit sex
and illicit Bloodshed not because of
that because we didn't serve Hashem with
zoy what is going on here
and he said to the Heavenly Court you I
didn't feel Joy how to service you but I
didn't feel Joy
had a little bit tougher life than you
did
and how about dinner
got kicked out of the house with three
years old his father thought he was a
little German child
according to the whole story but did you
you can see it's a fair shamendrish
father-in-law traced race kill him
his wife gave it you talk about Sheldon
by his problems
you weren't married
it's father-in-law anybody have a
father-in-law tried to kill him
had all that
with government he smells a shame he
says Hashem comments
huh
and what's it was this a moon and he's
talking about
it's how will we say that we heard this
is
he spoke to Hashem every day he did
chuva every day
you know what a warrior he was if David
develops in the Olympics he'd be gold
medal Javelin gold medal Sprinter The
Matrix tells us that he would throw a
spear in his Heyday news about 30 35 and
it would skewer 60 moabite soldiers
and when he was 60 years old he was hand
to hand against 10 Philistines imagine
if anybody knows anything about Krav
Maga it's tough enough Against One
two three that's ten ten Philistines all
size of Goliath
and they weren't prevailing and he
wasn't prevailing and comes joov says
his General your majesty you're slowing
down I'm taking out of combat
he retired from combat at age 60.
because he was slowed down he could not
defeat 10 Philistine soldiers that for
King David is retirement
King David had a rough life
but King David was always happy one
thing scared him the tenthood didn't
scare him if we open up Psalm 51 he says
always my happiness is with Hashem
he had to be happy all the time because
he knew that was a prerequisite of
having Hashem with him
okay so now he still would argue with me
okay lazia give me example if I'm from a
funeral I'm a from afino you give me an
example give it a mellow give it a mela
okay I'm gonna call now
the greatest psychotherapist
that ever lived
his name is robino nachmann benfagi
Rabin Ahmed bresliff
okay and rabi nachman tells us a story
in one of his 30 tales about the clever
and the simple
you think you got a rough life you think
you got problems gedalia spoke about
what we call the if only syndrome if
only Mikey marries me if only I pass the
bar exam if only I pass a CPA exam if
only I start a startup company comes and
that's not if only it's right now
because if only it's always going to be
another if only there's no if only
if only I had this
man juxtaposes two characters they grew
up together the same background the same
house but the clever one he had a 140 IQ
he was athletic he was good looking even
so you don't have the kids he played
chews up football she was upside he was
the first guy that got shows up
all right he didn't coordinate great
athlete charismatic everything and there
was a simple one
the simple one he had a 79 IQ
and he had like two left hands and he
couldn't he was the last one that got
chosen up on team in the pickup baseball
here's the last one
he couldn't do anything he couldn't
understand what he's taught about so the
clever one he goes and it goes it does
three Advanced degrees and he tries one
profession he says I could do something
better or do something better but he's
never happy but he's doing he's always
doing something better and he's
traveling around the world and he's
looking his Destiny around the world the
simple one
Apprentice himself by a cobbler a
Shoemaker
and he makes shoes
and he sings all day long
because not nail the shoes and he visit
his work
and the shoe
it's too narrow in the point she put
that shoe on it's going to squeeze your
toes and it's so wide in the back and
it's going to fall off
it's like what they call flip-flops in
Israel then flip flop flip flop flip
flop wake up
and where another cobbler would get five
pieces of silver for a pair of shoes
you would get 150 that's it third of the
price
and people say well aren't you jealous
and he'd say massage
that guy's work
what would he do when he finished making
and he says oh beloved shooter you are
so Exquisite and why would kiss the
leather he put in my word I put in my
heart into this and he said I hope the
person that walks in this shoe we should
be blessed but that's the way he serve
the shim he would come home and his wife
would say husband what do you want for
dinner he says let me have a piece of
this chateaubleon okay Chateaubriand uh
Chateau Beyond with what with the
mushroom sauce Chateau brown mushrooms
she cut off a little piece of dry black
bread that's all they had
and he said uh she said what would you
like to drink
he says I had the Merlot last night uh
how about the Cabernet Sauvignon Galileo
10 year old okay she brings it that but
it's a little Carefree of water water
and black bread that's all he had he
drank his what he had what Hashem gave
him
he ate it with the pleasure that he was
eating chateaubrium in the best French
restaurant he drank that wine as he was
drinking a thousand dollar bottle of
wine this is the way he did we went to
go they only had one coat between them
it's called the pills they take they had
nothing
but just as the clever one was clever
and it depended on this intellect
the simple one
he had Hashem
he had a Shem
you know the song you just call my name
and you know wherever I come I'll come
running are you too young to know that
James Taylor and Carly Simon
okay too young
you're too young too
the simple one
he had a shame
and he knew one thing
he knew the first principle of amula
that people that don't have Smiles on
their face don't know it
I walk into people see people that are
from
their phone
and you walk into a show and get up
there and look at you like this up and
down who are you how long is your beard
how long is your code and they're from
try and experiment say from
and smile while you're saying from go do
it
don't work
[Applause]
the ball game
is what the Torah says
a lot of services
he turns it from a negative to a
positive
what do we do how can we do a simcha and
this is what the perfectly Court answers
us on the second movie
it says because what you got and this
again
we're strongly connected godalia said
this I don't know if you're you could
always say I'm gonna repeat it
nobody could do what you could do so I
said few people have the same Soul
correction I say no two people have the
same Soul correction and you know what
that means why are you not smiling let
me ask you a question
okay position with
I got a white beard I'm in good shape
it's still Body and Soul the dog is in
very good shape too see what's when we
dance together
if I ask we're gonna make Simon Says and
take off my coat when Simon says I need
a volunteer
make it feel kind of dumb come up here
and lift your hand and lower your hand
lift your hand lower your hand lift your
leg lower your leg nobody you feel
embarrassed in front of the whole group
okay so very quietly now maybe have a
little financial difficulty and say how
about uh two Benjamin Franklin's in your
pocket would that convince you to come
up for 60 minutes so that's a nice job
stable to Ben Franklin's okay come up we
know that we wouldn't do something
without a reason
why do we think that Hashem would do
something for that reason hashem's less
intelligent than we are
everything that Hashem does is for a
reason
he couldn't understand why Hashem
created black widow spiders he
understood everything because
he understood all creation one thing he
had a showstopper black widow spiders I
know what was black widow spiders Hashem
says okay you gotta you got questions
you got a question of who this was the
only question the moon I ever know that
that I know the dividend ever had Hashem
why did you create black widow spiders
King Saul and his lieutenants
almost caught David and King Saul went
Delirious with jealousy and he wanted to
kill him kill his son-in-law and if you
ever visited the Judean desert these
high Cliffs are very dangerous there's a
cul-de-sac
and they had King David cornered in a
cul-de-sac there was nowhere to go
and he could hear the horses hopes
they're getting there if he would have a
psycho he'd looked at it now 60 seconds
expense expected lifespan that's it
but all of a sudden you saw an airplane
of a cave you know where to go he jumped
in the cave
Hashem sent a black widow spider
that in less than a minute she wove a
web they were to take a spider two years
to do
and the soldiers very quickly they came
there he saw and they saw the cave they
saw this big nasty black widow you don't
touch a web of a black widow spider
because that's it very very very deathly
very lethal and he said like he
disappeared can't be in here he didn't
come in here so they left and as they
left the black widow spider took her web
and her travel suitcase
wrapped it all up
and King David Heard a Voice any more
questions my son
any more questions
this is what we all hear if we had
enough spiritual awareness we'd hear
this any more questions Hashem why this
Hashem how come I'm not married I shall
not come out of this physical problem
Hashem how come this how come this
Hashem you give me a soulmate I'll start
serving you I shall you give me good
health I'll start serving you Hashem you
take away this terrible boss give me a
better job I'll start serving you no
Hashem wants us to say right now with
joy in the middle of our Acadia and this
again what gedalia said go one point
point again what God you said we didn't
talk before no we did that we just saw
10 minutes before unless we saw each
other first time in two years
okay
it's the challenge
it's not even been that way you want to
lose the outcome doesn't belong it's how
we withstand the challenge
this does and will do the people saying
so what is the barometer of oh talk a
really good game aren't they really good
game people come up to me and they say
laser
it's easy for you to talk about it
you've got such a great life
you've had such a thing you're popular
you go around the world
I too had
right now 60 Minutes under
Dr Goodman what a fantastic chiropractor
and I warned her before he touched me
I warned it before he touched me he said
I had a lot of stuff that need to loosen
up I said don't be alarmed
but uh there's a lot of old injuries
there the body
uh would you find here sorry a list of
okay you see as I'm looking at you my
nose isn't Staten Island I'm looking at
Staten Island my nose is looking at
Chicago it's not clear okay
there's ribs there's collarbon says here
is that that's enough enough
when I Ward came into the world I had
the worst health problems in the world I
was my mother was a holocaust Survivor
so she thought I was going to starve and
I was force fed like a goose a little
kid that was fat I was asthmatic I had
all kinds of stuff now
as as older I did a too difficult
workouts six years ago through my heart
into AFib
don't stop we serve Hashem
wherever I went ladies that night that
went ashitor in my rabbinical class
graduating class there were guys from
Harvard who are guys from Yale that
after CPA and I was at Cal College
University of Maryland
I learned how to plant trees and to
raise cows and chickens and that was two
things I did had a dream two dreams to
do an airty stroke to become a soldier
and become a farmer okay it did both and
Soldier my unit
they went and went into my unit and they
looked at me in the first day
and they said what are you doing here I
said I want to be in this unit
I said what they looked at my ways like
you ever looked at yourself in a mirror
I said okay Sarge try me
you know what he's messing with I was
never a place where
everyone was not smarter everyone was
more intelligent than me
but one thing
at the desire
and I'm listening you could do it happen
so they went back to see red Berkowitz
Rob Berkowitz my below drive two beloved
rib is the Melissa rabbit and
rubberkowitz the elevation Tori he was
my age
[Music]
and he told me a story he told it to
other people they said this on film but
he told it to me the first time a year
ago
he said laser do you know when you came
and applied for a pinnacle program
do you know the committee didn't want to
accept you I said what they said
nothing's ever going to come out of this
guy this guy's a turkey
he said something he raised turkeys and
fruit trees and nothing's ever come to
him and Sarah Berkowitz says Robert says
he says uh
I don't agree with you guys
somebody said what Burke would said
about me I'm embarrassed to say I'm not
going to say it here but Rob Berkowitz
himself overrided the whole acceptance
committee and came in and I don't want
to say what my old classmates are doing
and what I'm doing well Hashem thank you
Hashem thank you Hashem this is and
would show them
wrote the clever and a simple one
he told me but he wrote The Garden of
wisdom this is my favorite book Facebook
wrote that he said uh laser I just wrote
your biography
it doesn't matter the subramovino this
is dividend Mella it doesn't matter what
your setbacks are matters what you do
with them how do you do with it
there's one thing did you one thing
tonight and it's the secret to finding
true happiness and go with it whatever
you do
you should know
that Hashem created you perfect
and back to the thing with the Simon
Says
the fact that Hashem created you means
that the world cannot exist without you
because to say that the world can exist
without you means that Hashem does
things for no reason
and if Hashem creates a black widow
spider for a reason he's in one of his
beloved Jewish children for a reason how
many of us are there in the world how
many of the non us are in the world one
to how many how many thousands were one
and how many thousands
every one of us every one of us
a tiny part of Hashem
and we say what makes it sound like if
you added like a breast of a hippie you
know my brothers and sisters uh
if I got hashems DNA
and the Torah says
and you have hashem's DNA and the Torah
calls us brothers and sisters come on I
rest my case you don't need a PhD in
genealogy to know that every Jew is a
brother and a sister and now you know
why we have to love each other
and why Hashem is so upset overnight one
together
one body doesn't matter what the person
looks like what he dresses like it
doesn't matter whether it's climbing on
shop it's going to filter fishing shop
is and
remember that you you are unique
and what is
don't look at anybody else
because he's looking at anybody else I'm
just elaborate on it and the reason it's
true is because I could go through his
shoe and just to reduce him on it
rewrite it and do a reducing on it uh
the tower says or hazal say the true
Torah has the power of reproduction
prayer via Okay so
not only are you the only one with your
correction and I said don't look at
other people
laser will add to that
if you look at somebody else you're a
double loser
because you can't be to somebody else
Hashem gave them their own unique shama
with their own advantages and seemingly
disadvantaged or no seemingly
disadvantages is there a disadvantage
for a plumber that he doesn't have a saw
and Nails in his toolbox he doesn't need
a saw nails
it's a disadvantage for a carpenter that
he doesn't have a monkey wrench in his
toolbox he doesn't need a monkey wrench
and what the electrician has a toolbox
the tools that neither the plumber nor
the carpenter has
this if you do what you think it's a
disadvantage that you're five foot eight
the ship didn't want you to play for the
NBA who did that sets all okay so Chef
took these unnecessary choices they'll
break your head okay but it's not a
disadvantage anything else and a
disadvantage don't look at another woman
she's better than you is she pretty no
no you're perfect
you're perfect and you only need one
soulmate
and you and the soulmate you say I'm
blemishes like that there were one one
board has a knot in it and the other
board has a
if it happens that the male and female
they're not put them together and they
fit perfectly each one they look like
they're blemished but they fit perfectly
you have the exact tools you need to do
your job in life how come you haven't
found your job in life thank you
everybody say on me
foreign
bless the hands that brought that glass
of water
Jim gives you exact tools that you need
to do your job in life which means you
are perfect for doing your job in life
oh everyone I'd be miserable if I want
to be a guitar
look at your hair they say you got every
barber okay so wait a second let's start
let's start again I'm gonna be a good
day offender I'm going to a plastic
surgeon doctor straighten the nose
okay so you're starting to know it but
wait a second let me ask a question does
it hurt to be so good looking
this is the barometer of a Muna
um
this is what
they tell us
be happy with your lot in life why be
happy with you not in life because
Hashem gives us the exact soulmate we
need first Soul correction the exact job
we need for our soul correction the
exact neighbor we need for our soul
correction the exact abusive boss we
need for our soul correction and that is
how the simple one smiles and then the
king happens to be going through the
kingdom and the king is really upset he
knows his minister is there stealing
from him blind and he knows they're
unreliable
and somebody tells them there's this
Village and there's a Shoemaker who's
truly happened he's smiling all the time
King says impossible
impossible yeah yeah you're Majesty
there is something like that okay and he
signs his name the simple one
this King says there's no such thing as
simple person on him
what are we diving for it's not a single
day
in laser 40s he pulled through personal
prayer don't ask for simple and Muna
do you know the color that kabbola
depicts Divine Light it's white nothing
is simpler than white
okay David King David says in Psalms
he says those that have straight of
heart there's nothing simpler in
Geometry than a straight line color
white straight line everything that is
simplest the topless of simplicity
Hashem is not complicated as Shem is so
simple
Egypt
and the rambam tells us he did does and
will do everything that's all Hashem
and the Torah sums up in three words
[Applause]
wait a second
my tribulations in life they come from a
show
my tribulations are all the best believe
me neither in athletics nor in the
military
It Ain't Easy
Rinko Starr made a song about you don't
come easy you know it don't come it's
just that that's the way life is it
doesn't come easy nothing worthwhile
comes easy
and you won't see someone who is
seemingly more cruel than a than an
athletic coach or a military commander
but the athletic coach wants to be a
winner and a military commander wants
you to come home alive Victorious and
Hashem wants us to finish our
120 years on Earth with a smile on her
face and there's only one way to do it
we say on we dance with the Torah
Torah and we say is
Happy is the person that never forgets
you and the person who strains for you
what strain okay with all the static and
all the Yates here hey it's not so easy
nobody says it's easy
you can't have a Super Bowl with one
team on the field you can't have NBA
Finals left there the whole action is
the opposite team
the whole action in the Torah is where
Jacob wrestles The Angel who's the angel
Esau's Angel who's he sells angel that's
the sum of man that's the yank Zahara
that was some fight all night long
and it was a dead tie
until
yeah
put him in a arm lock and that's it and
we'll let him go so I gotta get out of
here he's an angel I said someone no
you're not getting out of here till I
get a bra
every one of us is fighting that angel
[Music]
and in order to fight that angel gotta
have a smile on her face
because a smile in Hebrew
the word versus
that's mashup you play Hebrew Scrabble
which means that the thought process
depends on our simcha in other words you
see there's one thing I've had a little
secret from a God in my God
it's not the powerful one that wins it's
the guy that assesses him God uses his
brain acquire his brain his presence you
see look for the weak point look here
observe and then boom boom boom boom
boom I gotta finish this off in two
seconds because I can't do something
wrong this is that very quick but a lot
it's very simply it's very very
mine
it's a mind strain
that's what we have to do we have to but
we can't do on our own whatever we're
doing you know we don't succeed
when we don't ask Hashem for help when
we forget the shifiti we forget Hashem
we forget that everything is from Hashem
will you forget that he alone did
doesn't will do and you know where that
forgetfulness comes from that Amnesia
comes from the evil inclination
and so everything we do
going to give you a little secret how to
be happy and how to be successful
before you do a business deal
before you put a cake in the oven before
you put a challah in the oven
before you do whatever you do before you
cross the street
Hashem help this deal be successful
Hashem have this cake be successful
Hashem
help me do whatever oh Shane says you're
asking my help beloved Son beloved
daughter you got it there's no such
thing as you ask Hashem for help you
don't get it but people think people are
egoistic no then I can't say it's me I'm
me I want to be the big man on the
campus I want to be the guy that does
something no you need a sham
well good afternoon this is just like
the simpleton to make the story rubbing
Outlet continue to have the King was so
impressed with the simple one
he threw out his advisors he started out
as a governor he had a crooked governor
and he started government was so simple
simple simple
management
of the girl ask Hashem for help and he
made it to Vice Minister Minister it was
the king's right-hand man
and who's the king the king this is the
old Parable the king is Hashem
it means what Robbie nachman told us
don't think Remy nahmoud says that I got
so tall and so great because I'm a great
grandson of all Shinto anybody that does
what I did I said that too like you want
a big Italian Fester it's going to start
3 30 in the morning
laser about 3 30 in the morning but uh
you know
get to the Nixon to show in the morning
until you move your body a little bit
okay not many people want to do that
instead of the morning coffee you got to
move your body there's a whole set of
okay so that my body is ready to talk to
Hashem and people ask how can you jump
and you dance and you dive in like this
all the time
it's it's on fire this is this is in
like the one time I let it go during the
week the military says go it says
nishmas let all the horses out of the
stable we get the nishma ship out in the
morning
and Laser sounds like he whispers when
you hear me in nishmas okay let it all
go
but it's real it's real it's real it's
really feel a shame feel Hashem Hashem
be with me
Hashem be with me the moment you say
Hashem be with me there's not such can
you imagine your little baby daughter
your little baby son say mommy daddy be
with me and you're not gonna no no I'm
not gonna do that
of course she's doing
but the moment
that you ask Hashem to be with you
hashem's got a law he can't be with you
unless you're happy
so Hashem will give you happiness in
order to be with you it works the
opposite
if you ask it you invoke Hashem in your
life and maybe enough and and I go I set
aside at that time I did talk to Shem
Hashem I'm not feeling my best Hashem
I'm concerned Hashem I don't feel my be
talking I shall I know what's going to
be Hashem I need your help oh my beloved
Son of God you need my help okay now you
get simcha so that Hashem could come and
be with you and give you help Divine Law
that's it that is the key to real
happiness it is so simple like the
simple one
and this is this it's a straight line
This is the color white
and this who else said it sign check
sign check from King Solomon
hello
[Applause]
Hashem created the person straight the
straight line simple
but they confused things it would be
intellect no I can't say that I'm a 79
80 90 IQ could be 140 IQ book Hashem
thank you Hashem I'm not a 140 IQ
portion this is the key to happiness
spend time with Hashem every day be with
Hashem every moment everything you do
and you're with Hashem this is Vegas
this is the Vegas you could be the right
away little Masada I shouldn't be with
me ashamed with me as soon as shame be
with me this as a request that Hashem
does not refuse and it doesn't matter
who you are and it doesn't matter how
you didn't do true yet nothing it
shouldn't be with me oh your Hashem son
your son daughter tells you your son or
your daughter they ran away from home
they did stuff and they'd be building

I'll allow either one to come up and

little one-on-one time and get some
signatures and inscriptions in any of
the books that they have
you know
okay we're gonna start to tune in now
because it's getting a little later and
then we'll see how it goes if people
have questions uh raise your hand we'll
either come over to you ask you to go
with the mic yeah
[Music]
okay
[Music]
okay all right is anybody gonna be brave
enough to raise their hand for the first
question for the Q a session okay
okay
we're gonna hear from Ellie Diamond go
ahead
okay so this question is for both
Catalia and uh Brody
um so one of the things I was thinking
about is that you both spoke about
happiness which is of course a very
common theme in Robert halfman and
romanata talks about
um the one of the ways to give to
achieve Joy is through giving stuck us
through finding the good points one of
the things I think that might be a
challenge is happiness is I think in two
parts one of it is emotion but the other
part is cognition sometimes our
cognition I think we both sort of hinted
to it our cognition could be a little
bit off like when we feel down so we
really think that everyone has a better
life how do we fix our cognition not
just our motion to try to connect to
Hashem that our cognition is off when we
are depressed how can we how can we fix
that
I think you answered your question
the answer there's your question when
you change your focus change your motion
you change your emotion by changing
motion you change your motion yeah
sometimes you can feel broken hard if it
could feel off we change or move around
and that triggers the emotions
so motion changes emotion
so what was the first Studio I missed
you said the second video is what you
could have become the first video is
what you actually did
what you actually did and the second
video is what you could have done if
you'd have been happy
questions
this guy's on 24
ounces
I gotta take you to Miami with me I'm
coming I'm coming
how do you describe a gut feeling versus
actual fear
gut feeling versus fear
what it's a good question
let me know how do you know it's right
or you're just afraid of it I mean in my
personal experience you have to make it
right it's not you know you get the
potential but in order to make the
potential the actual I mean you can have
the best soul mate and have the worst
marriage and you can have the worst
person and have the best marriage so as
far as something good for you or not I
would start if it how do you know by
surrendering if it's like a fear try to
surrender it and see if it still comes
up and if it doesn't come up then it
could be something there's a gut feeling
that is not meant to be
add one word
superb answer
man talks about
misplaced fears okay and when I have a
fear that's irrational
fear it's irrational it means that my
fear of Hashem is insufficient
so the way to neutralize the fear of
as he's going to the schedule
just what we talk about ask for shem's
help Hashem
illuminate my eyes if it's the right one
Hashem help me if it's the right one
make it happen and if not okay but
Hashem it's not my job to be afraid it's
your job it's my job to fear you that's
my job to be afraid of other things
that's not shop you'll be afraid okay so
Shan you'll be afraid not to give me the
wrong right there she won't give you the
wrong one so as soon as you invoke a
shin
you're not afraid anymore but you still
have to run the marathon you understand
like you saw everybody running the
marathon whether they're afraid or not
you still have to run a marathon though
it is a marathon it's not a race
you know where sometimes we're afraid of
the short but it is a paradox definitely
which one
is right
they said that the best way to receive
is the first thank God for lacking it
since the time has been coming and sing
any prayers including two point but we
should I personally thank God that I
don't have whatever is the time hasn't
come yet well tiguna college is more of
a cleansing
there's always a cleansing before the
blessing that's a whole different story
that's to get rid of extra entities that
could stop that can confuse you but in
general for not the fact that you have a
lack
God gives you a lack in order so you
should come closer to God through that
lack and by appreciating the lack that
is a Muna and not becoming a victim but
appreciating that lack was there for a
different reason and that lack serves a
purpose so I can come closer to God
through that lack therefore I should
thank God for that lack that's it Moonah
and to add to that what
roshalem intense
it says the people say well how can I
thank something for something painful or
have a fake it in I'm gonna lie to
hashan he knows if I'm lying or not no
that's not it
thank you for the broken arm thank you
for the bankrupt thank you that I lost
100 000 no to say
the Hashem
if I have this pain
I know it's from you and you're my
beloved father and you're doing
everything for the best so you're doing
for the best for me I'm going to thank
you for it and Hashem says you can thank
me for that now wait and see the reasons
you get to thank me
just like somebody apologizing I'm sorry
no that's not really apologizing you're
just saying it to say because I told you
I'm hurt but when you really apologize
you apologize differently so you can
apologize not really mean it so we've
all been people have apologized but they
haven't meant the apology and you don't
take it if it's not meant
thank you
pick up emotion changes emotion correct
and how do you change that it has a less
energetic person
changed
yeah right so less energetic that's the
story we've been saying you understand
unless what does that mean it's it's
less energetic because we're putting
less effort in that gym so you have to
work harder at making it happen
so we you should never say I have less
energy I just have to work harder in the
second because everybody if you say I
have less energy it's assuming already
you're coming in there like oh I have a
problem and maybe it's a chemical thing
no you have to move move create motion
believe me it's not easy for me I'm I'm
extremely emotional and I have some
tremendous tremendous challenge just but
I know every single time once I get
going
it's all the beginning is always tough
but once you get going it's lost but you
should say you should say I have a
highly energetic person not a not a
less energetic person
secular coaches and trainers say that
they don't want non-energetic people
that they want energetic athletic books
they can train Tigers but they can't put
fire in Pussycats and when a coaches say
no
say the person who apparently said
doesn't have energy that's the person
what do you like what's your favorite
things is chocolate ice cream or Baskin
Robbins or whatever and
what about
if you run to that corner I'll give you
a gift certificate for basket Robbins
for 53 flavors okay he's gonna run to
the corner all right and just say you
take every Mitzvah that's Baskin Robbins
let's change his Outlook
change this out looking you can get get
to love and get to love and the reason
the way to get to love to do is to to
teach a Muna because the Moon is the one
on the left side of the chick you take
to fill in that's great Shabbos is great
Nick feels great cautious is great but
like zero zero if there's no amona then
a person won't be able to wither a
difficult time and that's where we have
what's the number one problem in in
Judaism tell yourself the Derek kids
okay that's it and I guarantee you
guarantee you when I was going around
the world whether it's in London or
Williamsburg and spoken in Michigan yes
where boys all
their lives and they look dead
because nobody ever taught them a Muna
and don't blame them because their rep
is never learned a Mona
very sad
let's go to that side of the room and
we'll come back
yes can you be loud I'll try I'll try to
be loud yeah
um you know I just spoke about um
the desire desires could be our
downfalls in the context of social
comparison sure but at the same same
time as some of your lessons you you're
you're empowered to have desires right
so so how do you erect the Rectify
having the right desires right spiritual
desires you have to be 100 aggressive
Financial desires is going to come to
you at the right time you have to have a
desire so financially if you're if you
want a desire for example I could say
created the world if I don't have a moon
out I'm dead and you can you'll actually
get a moon up because you're demanding
it on a spiritual sense it's a need in
heaven but if you're trying to chase
something financially physically because
of low self-esteem and you're doing it
through sadness that is not necessarily
going to trigger that because what
happens is if that person himself cannot
even if he receives that money
it's going to lead them to worse and
worser things so the good question is is
what do you become after you receive the
money do you become chasing double or is
this going to change you you understand
that's how you know if you receive will
you be a giver or you will you be just
you know yeah the more you have the more
you want so that's necessarily not going
to solve the problem so
anything when you're where you're
relating to Cabot honor or validation
you don't want to go after it because
ego based and the more you go after
people see it's desperate or fear of not
being loved and then people will usually
run the other side who runs away from
you
you know a guy that wants to go out with
a girl over and over a girl he just
keeps on being like like laser except
spiritually come on you have to go you
have to go with that that girl will
never go out with him because she'll
she'll feel wow this guy's my whole life
is he's a it's a creep
because the girl is going to say this
guy it's too desperate something's wrong
so the same concept so financially you
want to you want to have Pizza Hut and
stand back work hard but surrender the
outcome but spiritually you do have to
turn it up
surrender the outcome believe it or not
okay hi how are you thank you so much I
gotta try to be a little more direct
with the questions to the point I'm
going through the whole story I'm going
to try to be as loud as possible so if
you guys can hear me uh I'd like to
apply your wisdom into practicality into
today's world uh we have you know
unfortunately we have drug addicts so
how can a drug addict really have
immunity
when it's clearly trying to say sober
another question is how can his drug
dealer who's caused so much pain and
suffering to people uh directly
indirectly how can he really come back
to a sham and have simcha at the end of
the day uh could you say that that is
borderline delusional
foreign
[Music]
don't hate the players hate the game
right
the bottom line any any any attempt to
to use drugs or anything is an attempt
for higher consciousness
okay for example let's say I'm depressed
and next thing you don't have social
anxiety I take two drinks three drinks
I'm the life of the party my anxiety
goes away
the real me comes out talking to
everybody the bus goes off I'm the same
miserable person okay so what happens
all that did is it blocked the ego all
alcohol drugs do is it blocks what's
making you feel horrible you understand
that technically what you really got a
taste of is that's what you should
really be so what you need to do is we
need at the person in recovery has to
work on letting go of all those things
that are making him feel the way he's
feeling and he can get to that same high
without anything that's the purpose of
the 12 steps is to get to the same level
of Consciousness but now through work
and letting go and therapy versus that
first you understand
is that the question so that person
could usually the purpose of a spiritual
awakening comes when you first when you
first have to surrender
you can't fight you have the first
surrender and that allows because
remember drugs is very controlled you
want to control how you feel so when you
surrender that allows truth and that
starts to process
that starts the process of an Awakening
consciousness
so every every I've had many people
people all my employees are in recovery
and they're much nicer and much Kinder
people and better people that they would
have never gone through recovery so the
purpose of all this darkness is you come
higher when you come back you come much
higher than you would have ever had if
you didn't use
talks about the dealer if we open up
track data voices are up page 17b he
wasn't a dealer but he was a guy until
he was a dealer used his services this
guy was called a I'd say nice word
panderer I can't tell the Gamora because
it's so
it's so graphic okay I'll talk about
here but this particular panderer he was
the Hugh Hefner in Playboy was
Mother Teresa compared to this guy okay
this guy did everything and the worst
low life stuff
and he finally went to this world famous
most expensive hooker alive
and
she said to him
at a embarrassing moment she said to him
I don't know how she had got in her
mouth she says Hashem is never going to
accept you and Shiva
so he fell off her gold Laden bed and he
heard that and it just pierced like an
arrow in his heart
and he went out you know the song Old
American folk song Oh Sinner Man Where
Are You Gonna Run two oh sinner man's
from this Gamora from this Gamora
so The Sinner Man he goes out he says
son help me son says by time I help you
I got to help myself I can't help you
and he says Moon help me we can't open
the stars that there goes to the sun
moon stars and he finally says
he says it only depends on me
and he cried to Hashem he cried to share
me cry to him he cried to Hashem so much
that his nashama left him
and then a voice came out
and the guy's name was Eliezer bandordia
and he said rebe Eliezer bandordia
is now invited to the world to come he
walked right in the guy did everything
whereas he did one hour of treatment
so the greatest Generation ribbon
reviews
he cried and he says some people work
all their lives and this guy in one hour
that's not that people don't understand
that Gamora if he would have taken
multiple hours with the same effort that
he did he could have been
it could have been the great the great
day
he was a great scholar he's a great
Amora he was also a man of the night
I can't wait to I could give you a
couple of bullet Shooters it was the
whole thing
the door is never locked on Shiva now it
may be difficult and this is the mistake
in the Gorn
they did everything the low-life stuff
and he heard a voice from heaven and it
said everybody is invited to do truva
except ahar
he didn't understand that as far as he
was his mom is that about juva gets
special sea out of the Shema
but some guys go over to let Maybe
the dealer is not going to have seat
Ishmael because hey buddy you got to be
aware that you wrecked a lot of people's
lives
if he's strong enough
and he was chuva submission
[Music]
talks about and he does a quickly does
spiritual Aikido the bad I brought in
the world now I'm gonna do the good take
the momentum
and he does such Shiva like that and
just like I brought people down now I'm
going to go into the Bronx and I'm going
to beat people up
accepting the doors of chuva are never
locked not to the
I started you know the pimp and not to
The Pusher and not to
the bank robber not to this and you
could see and it could encourage my
first job
as a rabbi was I had a tough internship
I was Rabbi of ramla prison
Israeli prisons foreign
everything behind bars rapists murderers
drugs come on
come on that was it that was so hard I I
gave it up after two and a half years I
used to come home as if I ran the
marathon every day my clothes were sweat

all started that spiritual
Rehabilitation
foreign
he says you need
10 000 Russian cops so that people don't
smuggle vodka from Russia to Poland
the Jews don't need one cup they did
only comment some PESA
as soon as you teach a person there's a
Shem
you don't need a penal system you don't
need chills you don't need anything
that's the best rehab so
the gates of Cuba are open they're not
always easy but like we say they don't
come easy okay don't expect that you
ruin the world
[Music]
okay if you believe that you could ruin
something believe that you could rectify
it
and I've seen many people that work for
me at work dealers many I've seen
clients changing lives and they were
dealers I've seen them physically first
thing first time many

people are not raised with this kind of
thinking like
like I am sending him this room where
everybody has it you you talked about it
and and like and there's people say
Jonathan
what's the purpose of topic it's like a
Hebrew speed reading contest I don't
know how to top it so there are many
areas I'm definitely lacking in so how
can somebody like me get pierced this
and
yeah you have to open up your hearts
but you got to open up the heart because
the whole lesson was just all about that
let me let me answer this one to tell
you open up your heart a little bit you
said in this lesson don't look at
anybody else yeah I'm playing that to
look at anybody else you got to know one
thing
when you in your heart
want to make shuva
The Game Stops I should have said what
my beloved Son that he grew up he didn't
even know he was Jewish barely he didn't
know he didn't know what matzah was you
know what Shabbos was he didn't know
what the filling was now he wants to
come to me well the gates are wide open
you are going to get seatmaya excuse me
listen don't do this with the head
listen that's the answer
all right you come to me as a physical
coach
and you say I want to run the marathon
or else I check you out you could be let
me show me your blood work and you show
me your blood work hey come on your
triglycerides are up in the sky okay you

triglycerides are up in the sky
okay good proud of you but if they were
I tell you what to eat and if your
cholesterol is off tell you what to eat
maybe eat too much sugar to give you a
whole thing and if you want to run a
marathon you never mind a marathon in
your life you want to start with a walk
around the block
and then put a jog around the block you
can't start you start you want to run a
marathon don't look at people that are
putting on an outer show do you want to
know if people have a Muna
there's only one test of amuna
let him come visit me in Israel
and I stood
and I live closer to Gaza
than you are from here to Teaneck okay
by kitchen only takes 32 seconds we get
a sire under 32 seconds to do it okay
you see a person how does a person Act
when he's getting shot at
not the way he's rocking back and forth
and then from chakras till late from
hodu to Elena was 28 minutes uh-uh
that's not a Muna because you can't say
it but that's a guy that that has a
morning he needs 28 minutes for
schmonizly
the right time toxic Shin they asked to
shame for everything don't look at
anybody else start with an English
sitter start with your own words start
with do what you can get yourself maybe
maybe want to get some more information
just be open-minded and see what maybe
some people do right now companies can
kind of convince you because you're
blocked
and 13 principles of amona nobody true
believes in a few classes just try to
open up loosen up a little bit and then
you know little by little okay but take
take the negativity away put a smile on
your face because he wanted him to be
with you don't look at people go with
the Sham don't look at people don't look
at people don't be dependent on
somebody's okay if a person needs
somebody say oh you're okay and he's an
emotional handout that's just like being
a per person eatable what's the
difference between emotional handout and
a monetary handout go with the Sham put
a smile on your face I guarantee you I
will sign a paper
sign a paper with my olamaba and believe
my alumba was worth something okay let's
do people I sign a paper with oh my God
that Hashem loves you you're his only
son
and the world can't exist without you
fact fact one fact two facts that
doesn't put a smile on your face
I rest my case all right next question
loud or I'll help you but just one
second you should know that there's
maybe three percent of people walking
through my recovery center do they say I
love God they only say that three months
after four months out I found God I
found God I just want to go over and
take the whole world but nobody in the
beginning said I love that it's normal
to go through the process but after two
three months I found God I found my
Creator I felt that never right away
this never happens right away sometimes
it takes two months to get the guy to
understand a little bit so but
eventually they do get that eventually
that is the goal but never right away
nobody we can't convince people in 20
minutes
that's some of that
plan uh when does a mother's
responsibility end with her children if
she's trying to teach them Torah and
teach them mutualists but they keep
rebelling especially in the teenage
years how much does she have to push and
where does her responsibility and
okay here's the thing
when parents try to push
and the kids are off you don't push
parental example if you live it you can
give it if you don't live it you can't
give it what's a parental example your
kids are looking
what does abba do the first day in the
morning does he open up a Gomorrah Baba
Kama does he go in the backyard and talk
to Hashem put yourself up in the Wall
Street Journal it's a cup of coffee
if he opens up the Wall Street Journal
that's exactly what they want to do
if Abba gets upset when a glass is
broken or something there's a a five
dollar monetary loss but he doesn't get
upset when
okay something that Mitzvah wasn't done
exactly right the kids they look the
kids are analytic and kids hate
hypocrisy it's not don't do me what to
do I can't see it kids want to see if
the parents a real deal
if Mom likes Shabbos candles
and she's got a smile on her face and
her tears in her eyes and she's begging
a sham for the good of her husband for
the good of her kids one by one and they
look mama so gorgeous she's so attached
to she'll only be just like Mom
when the kids go to school and they hear
dad talking about the stock market what
and sure her dad takes his cell phone to
the stock market and militiam say he's
looking at his Twitter his email or
whatnot they see that's more important
than Hashem no which we need to take our
cell phone
okay so looking
how does Mom service him how does Dad
service him don't say a word to the kids
you want to educate kids first we have
to educate ourselves we educate
ourselves that kids are going to fall
just in the place don't have to say a
word and if you say a word with 21st
century adolescents are going to go the
exact opposite
them yes anything demonstrate don't
instructors okay I have one question yes
is he permitted correct okay so you said
that we should serve
hashems what if we like excitement
excitement excitement
exciting not not fast excitement
okay
he's also very slow I think we can see
what we're there Chef chicken you guys
all the broccoli
tomorrow night
[Music]
[Laughter]
we'll do five more and that'll be it
right
yes
a quick question so I heard about shalom
arush
speak about that when was commanded us
to pray
he told us he didn't handle it he gave
us he said speak from the heart to hit
what they do essentially
somebody is at the point where they're
doing an hour of people to do every
single day I've spoken to you before but
is like
what is like why is it still a necessity
not for that person to pray for my
sitter yeah okay so the question is for
the recording if people are doing an
hour of personal prayer are they still
required to read from a text to pray and
connect to God through right
yeah I mean personally I got you I
understand my my my sessions are much
more powerful than the sidor but uh you
still have to follow you know the order
of the connection Israel but you know
but the definitely I see 10 times more
energy from my histology than I did from
Isidore 100 I think if you get to that
level
just having a conversation with god my
power hour
that's what I call it that I definitely
get tremendously much more emotions and
I you know I put music on I'm free you
know it's a whole different world but I
you know I still do the other three
prayers but I don't get the same energy
as the other ones I do I do I do do I
can't compare it but
it is required and then and and and and
it doesn't prove the prayer though
there's something else I we're different
I'm different than gedelia
I'm just as fired up as I say as that
many people do
okay when you come to schmuck well they
don't ask what you want coining at that
means hiding a DOT
what's the
Prophet ishael says very on hoping
talk about all the destruction for
example instructions and he said why all
this my people didn't observe what do
you saying people go through
thanks for the grub yay Hashem that's
the brick at Amazon okay but the same
with this
is give me my brain power my
understanding Hashem give me the
understanding that it should put Divine
understanding and understand the feel
that you're right there with me
foreign
okay don't put the music on and
something I feel like dancing but don't
dance because uh one thing that tone it
down then I don't put on a show for
people and you keep things you keep the
fire and then then you did the energy
and go out in the field and the field do
whatever you want
that
um
if somebody is already in a bad place
and a parent or a friend
how can they have a responsibility what
should they do to help get that person
to where they need to be what's their
obligation for somebody else but not for
yourself
if you're a parent and the kids already
Way Gone in a bad place
if they're already the question so
what's the exact question
to me
does it get better
how she feels better or what she can do
for the kids yeah
the mother or the child
the mother of the child is in the deep
depression what could she do again the
number one thing is accept the situation
because without any time we're fighting
a situation that's what's causing the
suffering let's say we have we all have
people in our family that are not happy
and you know we we can't change people
we can only send them love and pray for
them but when you're dealing with people
with low self-esteem they usually don't
want to hear it
they don't want to hear that they're
miserable why are you being miserable
they already know they're miserable so I
would say give them space pray for them
offer a third party counselor maybe a
therapist
and and pray for that but don't don't
push the agenda because though they're
not going to want to deal with you
good good
yes
no problem
be funny it's okay it's almost 11
o'clock when it's Staten Island that's
pretty funny that is extremely funny
foreign
to get out of Disney first of all
right
that's the first thing
um
what advice would I give this and would
I would give something yeah change the
movie oh there you go you got my lines
beautiful I would tell her to change the
beauty change the movie
into seeing the Beauty and the Beast
she's in the wrong movie
change it to finding the Beauty and the
Beast so she's looking for the missing
Louboutin the missing shoe that's never
going to come she's going to meet
somebody else and she's going to see the
good points of that Beast
change the movie I would say find Nemo
huh find Nemo
right
Define Cinderella a spoiled kid with
sister no I I I'm like 40 almost 45
years old I don't remember these movies
anymore
I do but they don't they're not watching
they're watching other things Toy Story
is something else I'm sure he does
everything to make fun of her she's
always put down oh she's always put down
like like the Frozen girl right like the
Frozen one no no no
she Advanced substance oh to build her
self-esteem to build her self-esteem
what else could there be
to build defaults I haven't I don't know
the movie I'm sorry
there's enough movies already out there
I don't know I don't know the movie it's
not just Cinderella Cinderella what
would you call Cinderella
okay I told her get out of Disney first
and then the rest the one who's always
put down
yeah
okay
what's a good point two more questions
what is she outstanding in she probably
had a great heart right
wow
good person
wow
self-esteem okay
really built her up
built on that point
like I told one of the guys if you're
five eight you're not meant to play man
being
if you're not miss Twiggy then you're
not meant to be Miss America and Hashem
doesn't want you flaunting your body
anyway
if you've got a good heart
you're going to get a great guy and
maybe he'll give birth to mashiach
feel free good point go for a good point
the good hearts look at this world it's
so good they grew out the good heart
look what she can do
look what she could do look the amazing
things she could do
how do you deal with your surroundings
she needs therapy she needs extensive
therapy
grateful and say thank you this is where
what what's her sir how old is she how
old is she how old is Cinderella AKA
Cinderella
she's an adult okay
uh
the Gamora says
the people if there's one thing if she
has a alternative or not an alternative
in other words someone has an abusive
boss
but they don't have another job that
means that Hashem has locked them in a
situation now we've got to deal with it
okay but if someone has an abusive boss
and a Shem sends him three chop offers
somewhere else Hashem doesn't expect
this to be masochists
okay if she
deals with abusive friends uh maybe
she's picked the wrong friends maybe she
huh family family
family that's abusive
yes okay
family should learn that the laws of
okay all right bye but but here's the
thing there is no law there is no law
I'll give you an example I get young
people with abusive parents adults young
adults with abusive parents or parents
that mix in with their lives this and
that
and they say how do I fulfill
the Commandment that's kind of honoring
my parents now
okay good good okay so you pray for the
parent you pray for the parent but if
that parent is abusive there is no duty
to a child to be a masochist there's no
duty to child an adult child to subjects
up to abusiveness
and sometimes the parent is abusive to
the son-in-law or the daughter-in-law
and the son or the daughter should say
mom and dad you don't speak to my spouse
like this because I have to grow up to
120. and anyone including mom and dad
that speaks to my spouse
disrespectfully
we're not going to have dinner together
we're not going to visit us together and
it's not a matter of emotional blackmail
it's just a matter of preventing abuse
if you have a way to prevent abuse
subject yourself to an abusive
individual and a parent doesn't have a
right to abuse a child parents think
child belong to them the midst of loving
your neighbors yourself there's a midst
of the Torah dear mystery
it is worse than eating pork to cause
pain to another Jew
that person he's pork it's easy it has
fast forgiveness for sin
but uh Yom Kippur doesn't help a
person's repair and plays to another Jew
you have this forgiveness to the other
two okay so this young lady if her
parents are tearing her down and her
parents are destroying her self-image
that's uh but sometimes there is a case
where you have to review you have to see
the whole case because there's a lot of
times where the you know that she'll
tell you know if the parent is saying go
get a job you're abusing you throw them
away yeah yeah there's actually I really
it's very important to go into get the
right therapist get go into the details
family therapists because sometimes
you'll see this the story sometimes it
is and sometimes it's not so this is not
all the same I've seen 50 in one way 50
all the way go you need a family
therapist you need group therapy and you
need a a common goal and then the work
has to begin obviously we'll just take
one more time
again first you have to stop the storm
once you have the first you have to stop
the storm
and then once you stop the storm then
you could start like we can't fix the
roof when it's raining
you have there's a time to go build
first you have to put get the right
instructions get the right therapist get
the right diagnosis and then you know
I've seen tons of times the clinic you
know give me medications sometimes
parents need medication there's a
million cases in this story that could
go one way or the other and it's very I
don't want to give you the wrong answer
on unlimited facts really quick last
question okay last question okay an
inverse question the question was asked
here so for me I feel fire what I'm
doing when I say when I'm doing my
prayers and I well Hashem speak to
Hashem pretty regularly but I haven't
struggled doing it like pre like in
advance like planning you want to do it
when I get people to do it all of a
sudden I like freeze into the spotlight
don't know what to say end up just
apologizing for everything that I've
done wrong and uh right I don't know
what to do just some common tips that I
that I can recommend first pick pick a
location pick a time that you you're in
that that space because for example in
New York I try to do it you know I got
subways range my whole head was all over
the place timing going to sleep you know
there's some guys there's a lot of guys
going on here so there's you really need
Yeshua dots so pick up first in order to
just get the best effects of this
location time
frequency
you understand that that in the
beginning that usually opens you up
because you're in that same space now
usually in time sometimes when you have
nothing to say created a world I want to
talk to you you told me how great it is
well to do this you told me you could
change my whole life from that one said
it's higher than everything please open
up my mouth another thing I can
recommend you is read the 50th gate by
ravnasan here's his prayers or or to
Helen anything to warm you up just like
if you're working out you can't
sometimes work out sometimes you gotta
stretch sometimes you got to go on the
treadmill a little bit just to get
motion once you usually get emotion
sometimes I'll go into breathing and
every day it depends on the mood
situation what's happening in my life no
two days are the same so this is not
really a cookie cutter thing no two days
in your life are gonna be the same every
single day is going to be completely
different there's going to be a new
challenge that that's going to be what
you approach God but the whole point of
this whole situation is is not the score
it it's to it's to display your ending
now and you believe that this works
talking to my creative works and when I
speak things out I get it out of my
system I don't hold it in anymore so the
whole concept behind this is I can
really go to a place where I let it out
and and you and you feel much lighter if
you have nothing to say
breathe jump dance
scream I've done it all until something
and sometimes the words come out
sometimes they don't and then you
continue
at another ploy
suppose an angel revealed himself to you
and he said if you've got an hour
you've got an hour to thank me for every
gift in life and what you don't thank me
you can take it away wow Hashem thank
you for my brain and you better learn
anatomy in the bathroom we can't learn
Torah cerebellum cerebrum padalo Hashem
thank you for my eyesight thank you
thank you my cornea Hashem thank you
okay without that pressure
when I get tongue tied it happens a lot
if that fan your friend by the time you
get out to the to the field and and uh
okay checklist we're about to take off
we can't take off what does the pilot do
starboard engine important engine
pressure oil pressure hydraulic pressure
Hashem thanks for the eyes Hashem thank
you for my breathing Hashem thank you
for my teeth and think by the time you
get to your ribs
go you're going to forget about it and
thank you that the legs always get left
out that's why persons have knee
problems because by the thing they don't
get down there okay because by the time
that they're so enamored by thanking and
Hashem wow look at the gifts I got from
Hashem day that otherwise it would take
for granted and that warms you up really
quick the gratitude
[Applause]
