immature concept of God comes from a
from seeing the Torah as a story book
where you got the god of Abraham now
God's having an argument with with uh
Abraham's having an argument with God to
like save the city of sadim who are up
to no good and God's like clearly a
punishing God because he's going to
destroy the city of sadone because of
people misbehaving in in sad which is
you know uh I guess in English they call
it Sodom and gamorra okay um I think the
Sodom has something to do with the
sodomy but the G the but what's
interesting about it is sodium is the is
salt and sodium's the all you get down
there at the Dead Sea you know
everything down there where sod and
gamor was is salt today you ever thought
about that that s is uh is where all the
sodium is in in the you know it's just a
massive like salt area and the anyway
the but when you read those stories you
think of God as this God who's like he's
like a deal wheeler and dealer you know
Abraham's saying you know if there's a
couple holy people in there you know
maybe you wouldn't destroy the place
he's a Wheeler and dealer he's a
Punisher he's a
rewarder he's um he's clearly got it in
for um for uh for certain people and
then later God becomes the god of Torah
and Mount Si and now all of a sudden you
got 613
Commandments which is 365 Thou shalt not
do which breaks down to about 40 uh
30,000 laws and 248 thou shal do which
breaks down to about 15,000 laws
altogether it's 45,000
laws but what can easily happen is your
concept of God is just this God of
of deal making reward and Punishment um
and and a god who's like super concerned
about about like how you comb your hair
basically meaning it's a god Who's
involved in in like your your tiniest
tiniest
details and how do you maintain a mature
concept of God and what is a mature
concept of God now we're going to go
into a mature concept of God and what
you're going to realize in working on
that on a mature concept of God you're
going to have to
somehow make it make it work with a god
of Torah like it's going to somehow have
to be the same God because we're not
going to have two Gods we're not going
to have the story book god of the Torah
with all its everything it says and and
the a mature concept of God be two
separate gods they're going to be in the
end
one and some of the greatest thinkers in
the world some of the really great
thinkers I don't know if you guys heard
the Thinker named Alan Watts youve heard
of Alan Watts anyway if you listen to
Alan Watts you you'll grow a lot in your
maturity of thought but even the
greatest maturest thinkers can't help
but
but consider the god of Israel as a
petty
God built by some kind of patriarchy to
cause Conformity and control you
understand that that it's somehow built
to control
us and uh I heard a recent great quote
um I think Jordan Peterson said it he's
another great thinker who I think has
probably put it all together but but
Jordan Peterson he said recently he said
religion's what religion is an
organization that makes sure you don't
have any religious
experiences which is a very interesting
thing to say I'm going to say that again
religion is uh he I think he was quoting
Carl Yung that religion is an
organization that makes sure you don't
have any religious
experiences cuz what what does it mean
to have a religious experience is that I
mean in your daily life of order with
Order and Chaos and your daily life of
order would you call having a truly
religious experience like a freak out
experience would that be part of your
order would that be more towards chaos
which one chaos it' be total chaos
meaning if you had a truly religious
experience like a real God experience
which in my family we we actually once
in a while one of my kids will yell out
let's have a god experience one two
three and then the whole family what we
do is we all scream at the top of our
lungs which is an actual uh form of
service of God which is called Primal
scream and I'm actually part of an
ecstatic prayer group in Jerusalem that
is a primal scream group and so you
should know that each one of you has a
voice inside that you've never even met
never met very few I brought I brought a
guess someone wanted to do the Primal
scream prayers with us uh really sweet
guy from Mexico City he been observing
for years we he actually came over over
Friday to learn uh Thursday to learn was
that Friday Friday to learn cabala with
me and he's an older guy and he want to
learn cabala and so I taught him a
cabala class and later I invited him to
do the extreme prayer he couldn't he
couldn't do it because until you've met
your Primal scream you don't you don't
just walk in and find it it's something
you you have to achieve and I bet most
of you never even heard that voice come
out of you anyway but in my family
sometimes a kid will yell out let's have
a god experience and and they and
they'll yell one 2 three and the whole
family just
goes and then we'll be silent and just
feel
Hashem we just feel a shim right there
but it's chaos it's chaos if you want to
go for God experiences it's chaos but
what would you do if you created a
tradition of of Judaism where it's all
about chaos how do you control the group
who's who's in charge here you know if
the name of the game of your group is
chaos in order to produce God
experiences and who says my God
experience is going to be different than
your God experience and now you're going
to have your God experience what
tradition do we follow now because
everyone's having their own God
experience so like so like what's real
now well wouldn't it be a lot easier
just to create a really dumb
down boring
quiet prayer
service where everyone reads the
page you know quietly to themselves for
the most part and stays very much in
their
space and like you know be normal as
they say be normal well there's not
going to be a god experience there
except for obviously the person who
knows how to go in cuz there is such a
thing as inner God experience so the guy
who knows how to go in the woman who
knows how to go in will have their God
experience cuz certainly going crazy in
prayers going out to get to it but
there's also going in now not every
person's so good at going in because
there's three types of people there's
intellectuals I call them ones they're
good at going in there are interpersonal
which love people not good at going in
and last are the third types which are
the
instinctual those are like the Earth
people
and they're good at going in but only
when they're like hiking Barefoot you
know not in a prayer setting like
they're just it's way too many words on
that page for the instinctual types and
again every human being is either one of
those three I mean you have all three
but one of them is your major so you
either major in intellectual ideas or
you major in people or you major in
things so for example I'm a 231 I'm
mostly people then I'm things you know
that's why I'm I'm mountain biking and
in that room over there is probably one
of the nicest mountain bikes in the
country because the nicer your mountain
bike the less you fall okay and I don't
want to fall at this point in my life
and the and the the uh really the nicer
mountain bike the less you have a
mountain bike cuz think about it if your
Mountain bike's just perfectly making it
through the mountains it doesn't really
exist Does it meaning if your suspension
and
drivetrain are completely perfected for
the for the terrain you're in is there
really a bike is there even a bike under
you anyway that's a fun thought for all
the threes ones are like why are you
even talking about bikes twos are like
we're all the people and three is me
racing through the mountains on my
mountain bike and afterwards going to
get a sauna having jumped in a spring
before the before the sun and not to
mention a cold beer but all those are
Instinct people those are
threes now turns out 45% of the world
are twos and 45% of the world are threes
meaning 45% of the world are people
people 45% of the people are are
instinctual people meaning they like
they like the the physical world they're
into that and by the way I happen to
know what everyone is in this room right
now and I'm just watching all you guys
I'm watching the ones wonder what the
hell is going on in here I'm watching
the twos enjoy me enjoying myself and
I'm watching the threes enjoy me talking
about things like mountain biking and
being out in the forest and like you
know and and I'm just literally your
facial muscles are working exactly
according to what as I talk about this
I'm watching your facial muscles move
each you are firing as I'm talking about
ones twos and threes so it turns out
only 10% of people are
ones so everyone who thinks they're
going to go in with prayer and read
thousands of words if he's not one of
that 10 percentile who could go in on
that he's not even there he just not
even there that's the guy who's always
coming late to prayer cuz he wants to do
the bare minimum get in get out without
any you know without you know dying AB
boredom and hence ecstatic prayer sends
you to it who ecstatic prayer
awakens the the spirit
within and for that reason uh threes
should definitely be involved in a much
more ecstatic prayer and twos enjoy it
because there's a bunch of people around
so me being a 231 I'm in AIC Sho with a
couple hundred people we're all in
pretty tight and you'd probably be
thinking like I don't want to be that
tight with everybody but if you're too
you actually like being with lots of
people all around you so I like being
Clos in fact even when I'm in my silent
prayer and I've got a guy brushing up on
either side of me and I'm in full-on
meditation I mean deep deep meditation
so it's a distraction to have someone
next like touching you well they're like
my Talus is like touching other taluses
in you know when it's really packed in
there um but I just put it as part of my
meditation that like I don't know where
he's at and I don't know where he's at
but I'm with them you know like they're
like we're touching like I'm actually in
full meditation touching these other
Jews who've been screaming bloody murder
for the last hour and a half and now we
finally entered into the silent
meditation and it's a very deep
place but it makes us
ungovernable you understand that that
this is something that I just want to
give like I just want to give honor to
the kic communities not every kic
Community but certainly the ones that
are chaos the ones that allow chaos in
their Community like it's built in that
there should be chaos you got to hand it
to those people you one example there's
a rabbi in Jerusalem named rir
zilverberg and he's one of the great
great teachers of Israel and um very
alternative prayer group so not only do
you have full volume and they got a lot
of song We Don't Do song we only do
scream but they got song but they also
everyone gets their own space and in
your space you get to do whatever you
want like there are no rules to what you
do in your space so people are really
using their space and it's pretty cool
so at one point during the
prayers I noticed that there was a a
Talus on the floor a prayer Shaw on the
floor so I went to pick it up and right
when I went to pick up the prayer Shaw
cuz I was in my prayer so I just kind of
lean down like that to pick up the
prayer sha someone pushed my arm away
I'm like what was that you know I'm just
trying to pick up a Talis from the floor
and then I look back and I see it's not
just a Talis on the floor there's a
person under the Talis and he's shaking
so it's the Talis is going like this
it's like quivering underneath the Talis
in the middle you know we're in the
middle of morning prayers on
shavas and anyway I contined praying and
I noticed after a while that the rebi
Reby zilverberg is is not at his Podium
for quite some time so I was thinking
that it was kind of interesting that he
took such a long break you know the Reby
of the community like disappeared in the
in like the height of of the doing
anyway it was only a matter of like
maybe 40 minutes I mean these people
were going for the two hours uh
intensity
about 40 minutes in I see the Talis
start to move again the guy gets up and
guess who it is it's the reie himself
the rebi himself is flat on his face
shaking inul convulsively shaking for a
half hour straight underneath a Talis on
the floor in the middle of the sh like
not even where he was standing at the
beginning at the front of the
shore that level of of
ecstatic prayer is religious experience
I I know I never use the word religious
so I apologize I'm only using it because
Carl Young said the famous quote which
is that that organized religion has to
do everything to make sure you don't
have a religious experience if they're
going to keep control over you so I'm
calling this God experience a religious
experience the reason I don't use the
word religion normally I'll just let you
know the reason I don't use the word
religion
is because religion is something you
wished were
true and meaning it's a a
mythology that people who believe in it
wish it were
true and and they believe it's true and
they might even risk their life or
sacrifice much for
it but Judaism isn't that way Judaism is
literally just a history of the people
we're a history of a people a nation
born in another
Nation 10 plagues split sea Mount
Si and then you know 40 years in the
desert come to Israel I mean there's
there's no point where you have to start
believing in anything there's no guy in
a cave you believe in that he said
something there's no Apostles that you
got to believe they saw what they saw
you're never believing anyone saw what
they saw because the entire thing is
just simply the history of our people
the entire thing is only the history of
our people from the beginning till today
and if you backed it up a 100 years all
you'd get is just Judaism in the 1900s
and if you backed it up 100 years you
get Judaism in the 1800 you backed it up
a thousand years you'd have Judaism in
the middle in the uh whatever you call
those times I don't know history so I
would just call the time of the reown
him and you back it up a thousand years
you would be at the second temple period
And if you backed it up another 500
years you'd be in in Persia with the
Jewish people and the whole story of the
Persian Empire and the Jews and the the
story of the of Purim and if you backed
it up a couple hundred more years you're
in the first temple period if you back
it up another couple hundred years you
got King David and we already have his
coins we have you understand we have all
that stuff we we the archaeologist the
biggest atheist archaeologist in the
world don't deny David's existence as
the king of Israel and you back it up a
few hundred years and you got the period
of time where we're Conquering the land
of Israel and you back it up just a
little bit more you're literally on the
shores of the Jordan River with Moses
passing away and Joshua taking the Baton
and leading the Jews into the land of
Israel like at what
point oh and if you back it up a little
those 40 years 40 years more you're at
the you know the the surround sound
Omnimax 3D
LSD Sinai experience so it's like and at
the SI experience there's 3 million
people there if you look in the Torah it
says 600,000 Jews sorry 600,000 men
between 20 and
50 if you had the children you had the
elderly and you had the
women you're 3 million Jews that's the
math so it's 3 million Jews are there
who are you believing
and who could have ever started such a
thing at what point did they start
it you understand it was always this
civilization called Israel our
amuna our
amuna is not belief Aruna is just our
history and in fact you'll notice on
whenever we do the evening service Mar
what do you say after sh is you say
zo what's after the word zo is a
colon it says and this is our faith and
then what's after the colon our history
it's a long paragraph of our
history just goes through everything the
Jewish people ever went through in our
history it's just our
history
now let's go let's go a little bit deep
into let's let's go a little deep into
the mature concept of
God I'm going to give over quickly the 4
second proof of God you guys ever heard
of proof of God in 4
seconds no you never heard it does
someone here have a smartphone with a
timer cuz I I used to call the 5sec
proof of God but I got it down to four
so i' I'm going to I'm like redoing it
now it's the forest second Pro of God so
get your stopwatch ready
okay it's got a little uh it's got a
little
background so the 4 second proof of
God have you guys heard the 4 second
proof of God I gave over this proof of
God to a PhD class of MIT
physicists can you imagine like that's a
lot of fun to be able to give this class
to MIT physicist like 50 MIT
physicists and I only got one argument
and I put down that argument with one
line I got one meaning one guy raised
his
hand he had an
argument and it was a very short
argument and I was able to I was able to
you
know what would they say on YouTube
destroy his argument in uh with one
simple line ready so here it goes I just
got to give a little background before
we get to the four second proof of God
and that is just to understand what I
mean by nothing so like you might say
there's nothing in this cup right
nothing
so is there nothing in the cup is this
cup empty or
full no it's full what's it got in it
air it's got air so that's just
interesting in general is that we don't
really have a concept of
nothing you know like your brain went to
nothing
meaning your brain can go there
but it's pretty interesting the whole
thought of nothing you know like like
what is nothing
exactly um but I I think nothing was
introduced to the World by The Big Bang
the Big Bang which is the number one
biggest
um oh um can anyone help me with the
word Kasha in
English it's the number one
Kasha of atheists against atheists the
Big Bang is the number one Kasha against
atheists what's the word Kasha maybe
objection
antithesis
antithesis question question number one
biggest question maybe question is the
simplest way to say cuz the word Kasha
in Hebrew is such a stronger it in in
the word Kasha is often translated as a
an attack question meaning meaning the
issue you're the Kos is uprooting what
you believe to be true so for example
atheists who believe there's no
God have this attack called The Big
Bang and what's funny about this is Jews
who are raised observant they often
think that Jews who raised observant
think the Big Bangs like aash on
Judaism why because
because the Torah says the world's 6,000
years old and so if the Big Bang says
the world's 15 billion years
old
so that means that the world's not 6,000
years old which means maybe the Torah is
not true right you hear the Kasha so
then they just think the Big Bangs like
this major Kasha on Judaism which means
Kasha on God
and the but it turns out that the
biggest Kasha the number one Kasha on
atheism
is the Big Bang why because the Big Bang
means that there was a be a
beginning if there was a beginning that
means there was a before the beginning
now what would be before the beginning
of matter what would be before the
beginning of matter begins with an n o t
h i n g what is it together nothing
nothing and you'll notice in those those
bastards I don't want to call them
bastards because they were trying to
teach us when we were kids but when I
was a kid growing up we were given the
Big Bang as a fact not as a theory we're
giving it we were given it as a
fact and they always started it with a
little tiny piece of matter that
banged they didn't talk about the fact
that that little piece of matter would
have to be created so here we were kids
being told as a fact about the Big Bang
instead of it being a theory and they
were already putting a little piece of
matter in there which is
cheating you understand that's a major
discussion where did the little piece of
matter come from Mister but we were
little kids and we were like okay I
guess we're just supposed to believe in
this but the bottom line is for
atheists is that the Big Bang is a major
kosha what's the Kasha is that if you're
in if there was absolutely nothing so
what did God used to create the world if
there was nothing what's the world made
out
of if there was nothing could there ever
be something meaning let's just say that
I could somehow scientifically suck the
air out of this cup I suck the air out
of the cup of course the cup would
collapse but if I suck the air out of
the cup hermetically seal it and we come
back at year later what's in the cup
let's say there's nothing in the cup I
come back a year later what's in the cup
everyone say nothing please can you say
a little louder even
louder 1 2
three if there was so we come back to
you later um what would be in the cup A
Thousand Years Later thep side of the
cup what the upside of
it that yeah that would be there I'm F
the cup understand all the time thought
there was nothing but then there was
what's behind the
cup yeah that's a very deep thought
actually and we could go there right now
but right now I'm just trying to get
everyone to say nothing okay now we come
back a year later what's in the cup
nothing what's in the cup A Thousand
Years Later million years later trillion
gazillion what does nothing make
together what does nothing make nothing
what does nothing make everyone say
nothing if you have nothing what does it
make before there was something what was
there nothing
nothing we know of no nothing nothing we
could understand that we know nothing
that we would ever be able to understand
don't forget your mind is like you're
saying what's your name I tell like like
you're saying I tell the mind is couched
in space and time it's really
interesting you think about that cuz
we're all like dedicating our Our Lives
to this being that's that's not a thing
and your mind could never get around it
it's like what are you even doing what
are you even doing dedicating your life
to God who is nothing your mind could
ever conceive you know imagine imagine
if
like imagine if I had no concept of my
wife could I be in a relationship with
her but meanwhile I'm in this super
dedicated relationship with a being and
I have no idea what it is I'm already
hinting a little
bit of what the Torah is remember what
our original question was how could a
mature thinker have a Biblical version
of God you know that that was I don't
know those who came in late that was our
original question how could a mature
thinker have a Biblical version of
God but how can a mature thinker have
any concept of God and the answer is you
can't you can't have a concept of
God all we know is that it was nothing
and we know nothing makes
nothing now the fact that it makes that
nothing made something the fact that
we're in a physical universe that's
expanding we're in this gigantic
space-time Continuum that started at one
point and is moving in an
expanded universe
fashion from
nothing means that whatever the nothing
was is what we would
call g-
D so you ready for the 4 second proof of
God get your timers ready here we go one
you're going to record it what's your
name again Benny I never got your name
did I get your name Benny Benny ready
okay on three ready I got to get this 4
seconds 1 2 3 before there was something
there was nothing and since nothing
makes nothing and now there's something
that must be nothing was
God 4 4:45 oh that's terrible let's try
it again ready start again no I got it
in four
yesterday okay here we go one 2 3 before
there was something there was nothing
and since nothing makes nothing now
there's something it must be nothing was
God 376 yes the 3 second proof of
God
376 you guys got the proof of God should
I slow it down okay you guys will help
me just say nothing again and don't
forget to say something at one point so
before there was something there
was and since nothing made nothing oh
sorry since nothing makes nothing and
now that
there's something
something it must be that the
nothing was God at which point the MIT
physicist raised his hand amongst 50
physicists the guy raises his hand and
says and his friends were really happy
about this because someone had to stop
me someone had to stop me and I'll
explain why in a second and he raises
his hand he says a rabbi you know it's a
little
presumptuous to call the nothing
God and that was his caution and my
answer back to him
was tell me Mr
physicist what does God
mean and his face contorted a little and
he
thought and he looked at me he
says
touche you see there's two versions of
God there is a a immature version of God
which is like it's Bose of the clowns
somewhere outside space and time and
there's a mature concept of
God which is the one we're discussing
right
now and so the physicist who raised his
hand and says a little presumptuous that
you call that God I bet you that guy as
a kid had like I don't know some kind of
biblical upbringing I don't know if he
was raised Muslim I raised he Jewish I
don't know if he was raised Christian
but he was raised in some kind of a
Biblical narrative God
and so for me to to call the nothing
that's as AV said is completely
inconceivable to give it that biblical
name to that physicist was
aasha you really think I can use atar
you really think I can use the word
question a
query gosh is such a stronger attack you
know but you understand that was his
ction which is what we're talking about
today and I know I've been weaving this
tapestry and you guys probably thought I
was talking about all different kinds of
things this whole time and but I wasn't
you get that you realize I've been
talking about one thing this whole
entire time which is what I opened with
is how do you have a mature concept of
God while still having a Biblical
concept of God and another thing that we
got to already is one sec another thing
we got to already is that if you have
the mature concept of
God you can't have a relationship with
it other than obviously a very kind of
more
Buddhist being relationship because if
you were to go to your deepest state of
being and I could lead you guys in
breath where can take you there cuz
anyone can go there but if we if you
went to your deepest state of
being and I would suggest if you want to
do that you should be celibate and fast
for couple
years meaning leave the world and then
maybe you could leave the world enough
that you left the world to the before
the world to the nothingness and then
you could be in a
relationship and weird that this book
says like be fruitful and multiply
what like that's the first thing in the
whole
book what why would that be the first
thing I mean here's this being that's so
big that there's no way even have a
concept of it to begin to have a
relationship with
it who happens to be an author gives a
book you get the book you open the book
you're expecting something deep
and the very first thing it tells you is
like here's something
fun be fruitful and multiply and it's
like okay it looks good on the cover you
know like the first page I guess God put
that there so you'd keep
reading but it's an iceberg commandment
it's a real Iceberg
commandment you know what an iceberg is
Iceberg you know you see the little cute
little Iceberg you take take a trip to
Alaska you see the iceberg and the the
tour guide's like see that Iceberg over
there and you're like yeah that thing's
huge what is that 200 feet he's like no
it's about 2
miles 2 miles now it's 200 feet probably
yeah you're seeing the tip of the
iceberg man that thing's 2
miles so you go ahead and you be
fruitful and multiplying next thing you
know there's only one way to be fruitful
and multiply and not have your kids turn
into absolute animals and that's the
marriage
well marriage is about six tractates of
the
tolet and now these kids are coming cuz
right the only way to have kids you got
to have a couple you got the only way to
have a couple is you're going to have to
have marriage the only way to have
marriage is to have a
contract because if there's no
consequences in a relationship the
relationship will not last cuz people
are messed up people people are crazy
including everyone in this room and
myself including we're nuts and if we
don't have a contract with consequences
there's no way we'd stay married to that
crazy
person and so so you got to have couples
now you get now you it's telling us to
have kids now you got to have kids but
now you got kids man you ain't no
Buddhist monk cuz you got to feed those
kids and if you're going to have to feed
those kids you're going to have to work
and you're also going to need a home and
once you got to feed kids once you got
to have work once's going to have a home
well you're going to need three more
tractates you're going to need bakama
you're going to need Bubba msia and
you're going to need Bubba Bas which is
real estate law to put those kids not to
mention some real estate to put your
business or to put your farm or to put
you know and you're going to have
neighbors and there might be discussions
about Whose Line Is you know where's the
line of our
property that's going to be Bubba asra
now you're back in the talmud
again and how can I have a relationship
with a being who's who's
inconceivable unless there's the stories
in the Torah that talk about the
interaction
of
Adam of
Shas Enos Canaan
Mahal all the way down to Noah and his
son and the
flood was there really a
flood and the answer is it doesn't
matter it doesn't matter I mean clearly
there was some kind of flood but it
doesn't matter for what we're talking
about meaning in our
subject does it
matter but it's certainly talking about
a generation of people that lost their
way and the next thing you know
like flood time you know you lose your
way flood time the story of Sodom and
Gomorrah s
Andor a civilization Lost Their Way
flood time
both stories speak
about a loss of the
original sexual Union of male and female
meaning it gets confused over there and
then the civilization's wiped out like
gone I suggest you guys Google um
ancient artwork of civilizations that
have disappeared you know any
civilization that's disappeared here you
want to hear something crazy every
civilization that's ever existed in the
world if you look at their artwork which
could go all the way back to cave
paintings certainly the artist was good
enough to create a male or a female
figure you understand like I mean I
wouldn't say they're the most
sophisticated artists in the world but
but you can figure out if it's a man or
a woman in the cave
paintings right before a civilization
dis civilization
disappears you'll notice that the
artwork goes gender neutral and then
they're gone that Civilization is wiped
off the world meaning we know about the
flood we know about Sodom and the mar
but we know that every civilization that
has ever disappeared in the history of
the
world it right before the end right at
the point where they had so lost their
moral
compass that the that the World Turns
like
non-binary and then it's
gone the torist stories are teaching US
stories from God that he chose for us to
understand him to understand lessons to
understand
relationship and by the way if there was
another planet out there or even
multiple planets out there with
life if there were other planets out
there with life
they would have God it would be the
exact same God that created the world
the same nothing that made this
place and you want to hear something
interesting they could have a totally
different
Torah based on their experiment because
we're clearly God's experiment here so
they could have a totally different
system they might not they might not
have even gotten the Torah
you know why they might not have gotten
the Torah because think about it why do
we need a Torah they never ate from the
dree maybe they never ate from the tree
but then they would never really gotten
started you know many R many um uh
Elders would never discuss the Free Will
story of Adam and Eve it's amazing thing
cuz if you read the story they're
clearly tested so there's free will no
shouldn't we teach Free Will from Adam
and Eve except what but could he have
not sinned Adam could we have this
discussion meaning meaning his sin was
absolutely necessary for the creation
it's part of the creation so you'll
notice most Elders will never discuss
Free Will in the like ultimate Free Will
story so it should be a discussion of
Free Will yet if you look through the
Torah you see that like the sages don't
want to discuss that as a free will
story which is amazing like discussion
in itself is like like why that story is
not up to Free Will discussion but again
nothing happens without it I want to
answer the question why would a planet
somewhere else not have gotten the Torah
so I want to take you guys real deep for
a second and then if you guys have
questions we'll open the questions we're
going to go real deep for a
second God created the world with
light okay um what do physicists say the
world's made of of anyone studying
physics what's a world made of
parles
energy oh there's a word right before
energy you're good matter right before
the word energy it's two
words uh the word's
light yeah the world's made of light
light yeah light energy yeah the world's
made of light energ all the waves and
all the particles are all a flow of
light
energy yeah the world's made of light
you can look at physics later and check
out what the world's made of but the
world's made of light energy what do the
cabalists say the world's made out
of what does kabalah teach us for
thousands of
years the world's made of light what do
the physicists say the world's made out
of light light oh the world's made of
light okay well if God creates the world
out of
light do you realize that the light
would kind of overtake us like could you
exist could you exist in that light
without it being filtered no none at all
could never be be able to exist and
right now I only have overhead lights
which is terrible for filming but can
you see my hand over here oh maybe the
board ah you see the shadow there on the
board so we got
light and and I'm now filtering that
light and now we have image matter
okay you can't have you can't have
matter unless the light's filtered out
because the
light light makes light okay light makes
more light light Mak more light light
makes light it's like a bulldozer okay
anything makes it
is so how does God ever make a world if
the whole world's made of light answer
by filtering the light energy well how
do you filter light energy you create
waves you create patterns you
limit it so that there can be something
other than light now of course what
would happen if the light shut off right
now what would happen to the
image but my hand's still there so it's
very interesting is my hand creating the
image or is the light creating the image
it's a deep thing to think about like
what's really making this place and the
answer is light's really making this
place the settings of our world
are specific to our
world you can't see through this place
before Adam and Eve ate through from the
fruit they could see through it Adam
named everything in the garden when he
when I say named everything in the
garden he didn't like name the dog
Elmo mean he named it
K he named it cave loyal the word cave
like a heart
loyal he saw everything but he didn't he
saw everything traced it all the way
into the light and then was able to see
how the the holy 22 letters wo their way
into that particular thing and then
named it and that's why the Torah says
whatever he named it was its name it's
like what else are we going to think you
know there was no one else around like
like that was its name as opposed to
what everyone else was calling it there
was no one else why ises the Torah say
it was its name because Adam saw Adam
saw from from this Edge all the way up
to the light edge saw how it wo its way
through the filters into dog into
KB that's how the world that's how our
world works it's filtered light filtered
light become
hard we could go deeper about it but
let's just say like this what if the
light went off right now miss Phillips
what happened to that meaning what would
happen to you what would happen to you
what would happen to you if the light
went
off which
light that the big light hm light yeah
you're
gone what would be left of you if the
light went
off well there'd be nothing left of you
but what if he switched the settings a
little bit and let a little light
through what if a little more light came
through what would we all experience if
God just turned down the filter 10% and
allowed like 10% more light to come
through do you think anyone in here
would have a doubt there's a
God yes no no I'm saying you're now
seeing through things things just turn
translucent which means what you'd be
seeing is
letters you would see the vibrational
energy inside of the thing
and I don't know if you know this now
but check this out online this will blow
you away is all the scientists meaning
The evolutionary scientists today right
now check this out online go on YouTube
and check this out all the top
evolutionary scientists are giving up on
Evolution because they're finally
finding out that no matter how much they
trace the
chromosomes of DNA no matter how much
they trace it back it always comes back
to intelligence so what are they meaning
it's they they now have discovered that
it's so complex that it's only
intelligence at its
base that it doesn't come to Simplicity
it just boils down to intelligence which
is just
beyond but that's what's happening now
that's where we're at so if God changed
the setting and just turn down like 10%
of the
filter would there be a non-believer on
Earth there wouldn't be a non-believer
on Earth there would be a
burglar on his
way up the back wall of a house full of
sleeping
people and the husband of course hears
the
burglar and like quickly gets up and
he's like oh my gosh you know he doesn't
have a gun and like and the guy already
cut the electricity to the
house and he he also like burned out
their Wi-Fi and stuff and they're way up
in the hills there's no cell they were
just going off Wi-Fi and the husband's
freaking out and while I'm talking like
this all of a sudden God says okay rium
I'll give you 10% for like an hour 10%
off the filter for like an
hour the guy gets to the window of the
master bedroom
and sees the husband they're looking at
each other in the window and all of a
sudden the burglar just like starts
sobbing and he's loaded he's going to
kill the guy he was going to kill the
guy they just start sobbing the the
owner quickly undo the window he
shouldn't fall pulls him into the house
and they're
hugging and that's why the other planets
out there might not have gotten a Torah
cuz who says their settings are like
ours we got very we've got very strong
settings here of more filter than
light there are meditative practices
that create more light than
filter there are breathing practices
that can create more light than filter
there are are chemical compounds and
even natural compounds that create more
light than filter
so people do have access and now with
our understanding in physics and now
with our understanding of so
much so that's why those civilizations
on other planets which I don't say exist
I'm saying if they existed may not have
needed the
Torah because they wouldn't have had the
same settings we
have and they would have already worked
it out on their particular Planet if
they did have similar settings to us
would their Torah read the same Moses
Isaac Jacob Abraham would their Torah
have the same
words no totally different
words and you might be disappointed you
know if you were on that spaceship and
you went up to that planet and you're
like you know and we we brought a we
brought a rabbi with us and the rabbi's
like did you ever get a book by any
chance like at some point in your
history and they're like we did
and they're like yes so they pull out
their scroll and it's totally different
words he'd be like oh what a
disappointment but then he says to him
hey do you happen to have Mystics in
your community they're like of course we
have Mystics they live up in some
Mountaintop called
spat oh amazing they have a same we also
have a mystical Mountain called
spat hey that's
great so turns out that on the spaceship
he was still meditating but one of the
mystics from the mountains of satat came
out of the spaceship and he met the
mystics on the mountaintops of this
mountain and they open up their Scrolls
and they start teaching the secrets
behind the words of the
stories because they had their stories
and they had their stories different
stories but they start teaching the
secrets that are underneath the stories
and guess what it's the same
Torah it's the same exact Torah because
the Torah we're
reading is not just to teach the story
so that you learn how to have a relation
with a being that you can't have a
relationship with because it's
inconceivable except for that which the
prophecy of Torah teaches us how to
interact with this being
but it also
has in it embedded in it the secrets of
the creation
itself the actual secrets of the entire
creation are all within those letters
which are numbers which is a system of
strobing Light which is ultimately our
world
well I can take
questions any
questions that was the
existence here comes the questions okay
we'll start with you how is the
existence of the world space and time
not a contradiction
how's the ex you have to ask me because
a a tractor just drove by how is the
existence of a world which is comprised
of space and light and things that are
very finite not a contradiction to God
who is infinite should have encompassed
that
space so we didn't go there but I'll
just say it quickly since we already
went pretty far um before there was
something there was nothing okay what do
we call that nothing God God if if if
all the there was was God what did God
use to create the world if all there
listen care if all there was was God
what did God use to create the world
himself
himself so you think this world's
finite this world ain't
finite it's not finite it's all part of
God isn't it interesting that all of us
came from absolute nowhere also
think about it you're like one day
became this conscious being you were in
the mother's womb so you had you had no
way to really understand what was
happening but but like you came from
nothing and what's human what's
Humanity's biggest fear what's a biggest
fear besides public speaking
Annihilation yeah and
death but meanwhile you've never met a
person who didn't meaning what is the
fear of death the fear of death is that
everything you are and everything you've
made will amount to zero to nothing yet
you've never met a person who didn't
start off from there and doesn't seem
upset about it
whatsoever we all came from nothing and
we're all pretty cool with it you know
like no one I've never seen anyone have
any anxiety over the fact that they came
from absolute
nothing it's the same fear and we all
what's that it's the same fair that I
come from nothing and never I go to
nothing right exactly but it's just
weird because everyone seems pretty cool
with the fact that they came from
nothing cuz we're future obsessed we're
future well we're obsessed about not
going back to nothing like I don't mind
coming from it I don't want to go to it
you know but but it's it's just very
interesting and it's also very
interesting that you have an eye called
it Consciousness like you have an eye in
there and that eye has never been found
in science not they can't find it in
brain scans not an MRI
the brain scientist did you know this is
the second biggest Kasha the second
biggest attack question of atheists the
number one biggest question is where'
this world come from if there was
nothing the second biggest question is
consciousness D is they have a third one
that they say before but only because
they believe it came before which is uh
organic life they don't understand how
organic life came from uh gases you know
like hydrogen or whatever they they
don't get that you know like uh uh
what's his name who's the biggest
atheist in London um da Richard Dawkins
said if I they said if you had three
questions you got answers to what would
the three be he said where did the world
come from where did organic matter come
from and where did uh Consciousness come
from those are the three biggest caues
obviously on
atheism he's the most outspoken atheist
um but once again I just want to develop
that for a sec is
that um what was I saying right before
that
Consciousness conscious
conscious oh Consciousness not from
here and you have it so you have this
eye that's clearly
conscious it's not part of your body but
yet it seems to follow you around and
for those who pray we have two words for
that we say it several times a day you
know what the words are who knows what
the two words we say to recognize the
miracle that your eye follows around
your bag of bones why do your you ever
notice that like no matter how fast you
run you can't seem to get ahead of this
bag of
bones your Consciousness always hangs
around it you know what the two words
are that we mention it as a miracle
every
day multiple times
no no the words
are which means the Wonder and the word
lassos is an action meaning meaning he
acts wondrously when you click on the
words he acts wondrously is mafos he he
causes wonder is the is when you click
on those two words it's actually about
the fact that your eye hangs around your
bag of bones now what happens when your
bag of bones dies you think the eye dies
your eye has nothing to do with the bag
of bones the miracle is that it even
hangs around it when you die when the
body is no
longer limiting you which is what it
does you know think about what your
body's doing to your eye your eye is
part of the big eye the big eyy your eye
is part of the big
eye and your body limits
it it has you in here like as if this
world is all there
is very interesting to think about I'll
tell you one thing it does takes away
your fear of death doesn't take away
your fear of a grotesque death but it
does take your faway of death meaning no
longer being in this B of Bones here but
you understand like like the the Jewish
concept of Consciousness and God
Consciousness being part of
God to a portion of godliness inside you
means it's Eternal which makes you
automatically not afraid of death you
can't be afraid of death and be a fully
practicing
Jew again it doesn't help much for an
awful death awful death suck no matter
how you slice it but I mean we have some
kind of teachings that it like it's it
helps with the next World I guess
because you do have to pay the piper for
your stupid moves in this world
so something about an awful death is
like better for you for some reason but
I'll
pass I'll go without the awful death
please yeah and U and I've already you
know I've been through so much with my
extreme sports and various other extreme
chaos activities that uh I think I've
had plenty of of awful deaths already
and I hope I'm done with my awful deaths
and get to just I just prefer to have my
family all around me and I'll be really
old and I'll cry and bless each kid and
tell them how much I love them and and
I'm hoping that they'll record it
because not for them for that they could
play it live to the people because when
I walk around and people keep
interrupting whatever I'm doing which is
usually just trying to get somewhere and
they say what a difference these classes
made for them
it makes more of a difference for me to
go to bed every night knowing I made
that difference for people and and I
always the only reason I say this is to
let you know what a difference you make
and if you aren't making that difference
already start
to
because that's how bad it is out there
that's how bad it is out there and and
if if you need more wisdom to start
making that difference so by all means
be selfish now and Get It Go learn and
gather your wisdom so that you can make
difference for
people AV tell you had a question that
was a long answer but it's all God this
is an
illusion yeah um far away from my
question but um I guess this is going
back to the removal of light and
question is
ouren is that removal of light removal
of filter filter the Mount Si experience
for the first two Commandments was
removal of filter and all light no I
mean not all if there was all light then
we our whole world would have been
blasted to light so it wasn't all like
God does have a
dial so like so like if God wanted to
like
if he wanted right now we're on like
large lot of filter
so Mount sin was very little filter it
was so little filter that our sages say
first of all Mount sin was bigger than
the splitting of the sea and our sages
say that at the splitting of the
sea the most simple handmade meaning she
was a handmade of a she was a servant in
Egypt a servant in Egypt of some wealthy
family like the the most simple
handmade in Egypt saw a greater Vis of
God meaning she had a higher prophecy
just walking through the sea you know
she walking through the sea on dry land
she had a greater prophetic
experience than ycal
Ezekiel who if you I don't know how much
you know about Ezekiel but Ezekiel the
prophet was saw the Chariot that if you
started studying the cabala about this
Chariot from this day forward and didn't
do anything but that during your waking
hours when you would die if we came and
interviewed on your deathbed and said
say did you
finish you would not have finished
studying about the Chariot that Ezekiel
explains just in the first chapter of
Ezekiel just one chapter explaining the
Chariot you would spend the rest of your
life studying this stuff and I know
people who study the
Chariot and believe me they've got
nowhere and they've been doing it for
decades now and the uh and I mean the
Chariots I don't think a person in this
room would stay
sane if you did stay sane you'd probably
come out of
heretic
um wait did I just say that so I'm not
sure a person would
live how you live meaning you might have
a cardiac arrest if you lived
you might come out um
crazy you'd likely come out crazy if you
didn't go crazy you'd probably come out
a
heretic because why because of the
things you would see would be so
powerful and so mind-blowing so
overwhelming that you wouldd say that
that thing you saw is running
creation and therefore there's no God
that's your heretic now because you saw
something so big running so much of this
world that you'd just say oh okay I
guess he's in charge you know that's
what you would
do and so there's like not a person
alive today who could go really all the
way with
it all the way with the Chariot
studies and walk out of their
unscathed and the the simplest handmade
just like walking across the seaf Flor
was seeing that and that was nothing
compared to Mount Si so we're talking
about the volume of filter was way down
for the splitting of the sea and then
God just went even more down and when it
went more down for Mount Si the Jewish
people approached Moses after the second
commandment and said to him like we're
out man like we don't want any more of
this stuff and Moses said to them you
don't understand like God's trying to
like set you up for all time for all
time you know what your history is going
to be like you know what you're all
going to be going through like he's
trying to create a collective
unconsciousness did I say that he's
trying to create a collective
Consciousness it's really unconscious
but a collective
Consciousness for a people that he's
going to protect call that protection
but protect through the biggest hell
tunnel tunneling through history with
all the Gentiles the 70 wolves
surrounding a sheep throughout all of
history to have you somehow presentable
at the end of days as if it's about you
which is not by the way it's not about
us I know Jews love to say like the
whole creation about it's about
Hashem he's just going to have us around
as witnesses to the truth of the whole
system you get that get what I'm saying
we we're nothing but Witnesses he'll
present at the end you think God's that
interested in us he's he likes us you
can even say he loves us but we're a
little bit disappointing you know
imagine the Jewish people were your
wife I personally would be divorced a
long time
ago name a
Jew name a Jew that you'd be happy if he
were if he or she were your wife
I just me like you might think well the
rabbi you know wouldn't the rabbi be
like wouldn't he be someone worth having
as a wife you know I imagine I go to bed
every night and there's a digital
counter like a Red digital like old
school counter on this side and there's
a red School old school counter on that
side and it's going through like the
seconds of the day and it gets to 24 at
midnight and the left side is how much I
thought about God and the right side is
um the time of
God creating
me how'd I do each
night how many how many seconds was
there a second was there a second of the
24 hours where I wasn't directly being
created from nothing to something
nothing to something nothing to
something strobing into existence from
absolute nothing into something to have
this experience with you right now was
there ever a moment where God wasn't
fully
invested not a moment how would I do on
the
counter but it's not an effort for him
for us it's an
effort I understand but he created
people to experience him and he created
the Jewish people to be this like you
know treasured Nation this amula this
light un the
world and we're like we're like at one
of our lowest depths right now since
World War
II we are we are like right now in the
eyes of the world we
are we are
detested you understand we are not I was
just at a jazz club in Downtown
LA
and I was on my way to the jazz club 2:
in the morning walking around downtown
LA I had no idea if this was even safe
and I'm going I'm going
fic and I'm walking through downtown LA
and I get to I'm going to a jazz club to
you know just hear some live jazz and
the um I just got to mention this cuz I
haven't told this to anyone but I found
an old African man sitting on the floor
and when he saw me approach he just kind
of looked up like that he didn't really
get meet my eyes but he said could I
have a
dollar just want a
dollar and of course you know I'm coming
straight out of Jerusalem and I just sat
right down on the floor I sat right down
on the sidewalk right across from him so
he was kind of shocked that I did that
cuz he's just been asking for a dollar
for whoever walks by at 2: in the
morning we're not a lot of people out
and when he saw my face he was shocked
he sees my P sees my keeper sees my
beard and his eyes roll up in his maybe
let's close the door there's too many
people right now walk his eyes roll up
in his
head and he just starts like speaking
out about Abraham Isaac and Jacob and
he's just talking about the forefathers
now he not looking at me I'm I'm I'm
sitting kind of a little too I'm across
from him but a little to the left so I
can get a little closer to him and he's
just kind of looking up and just
speaking ey J every once while he looks
at me and I said forget that man I'm
giving this guy a hundred bucks cuz the
guy's on the street it's like let me
give him a 100 bucks so I open up my
wallet there's no money in my wallet so
I walk up to I walk up to these rather
richl looking people outside a marquee
of a major concert that just let out and
uh and so I go to these people and there
there happened to be a hor player I knew
there I said dude you got a 100 bucks
and he's like he's like yeah I think so
so so he's pulling out 100 bucks I'm
going to quick pay him and the uh and we
go to the guy to give him a 100 bucks so
we get to the African man and and I'm
like I'm like here's 100 bucks man and
he goes I don't want a hundred bucks I
asked you I asked you for a dollar
and I look over my I don't have a dollar
either I just flown in I just got to
America I have no American money I have
shekels wasn't going to give him shekels
so I said to my friend you got a buck
he's like I got a buck and he gave him
the buck and he says God bless you
okay by the way I tried to push the 100
on him I didn't just leave it at
that nothing do it
to get to the Jazz Club they were not
expecting in the Jazz Club a guy who
looks like me either so I got a lot of
people coming up to me asking me all
kinds of questions but eventually I got
pulled into a booth because there was an
Arab Muslim in the booth and this whole
time I'm thinking like America's not
safe I'm watching riots you know
protesters you know this whole this
whole escap Escapade in Downtown LA is I
was a little on edge you know I'm like
you know like what's going to happen
here I found out what's going to happen
is nothing you know other than good jazz
and a lot of nice people so turns out
that I think the media skewing our it's
skewing the proportions meaning mean
it's true things are happening but it's
SC skewing the proportions so because I
really met a lot of friendly people
including the Muslim who pulls me into
his Booth with all his friends around
and starts having a whole like talk
about the Palestinians with
me anyway but what what we got to at the
end which really blew his mind he when I
was done he was like he was like I'm
going to have to really think about this
but when I by the time I walked out of
his Booth he was like he was like I was
saying to him that this has nothing to
do with the Palestinians the
Palestinians are the most recent
Representatives over the last 3300
years of people whose job is to wake up
the Jewish people to their mission to be
a light unto the Nations
and in as much as we are not that light
we get
reminded and this has none do with
Palestinians like who are these
Palestinians they're nothing but the re
most recent version of
hey these Jews should be doing their
job and so he was more or less satisfied
didn't know what to think he said he'd
have to think about it
I got out of the
booth
and whatever but we're
like this whole ego that the Jewish
people are
like what it's all
about we are definitely super super
super important to this whole thing
especially cabalistic and
especially understanding The Narrative
of creation
but but we're really just going to be
the witnesses at the end for God God's
glory this is all about the
light in a highly filtered
situation that is going to shine through
at the end of days when the ego of of
the Nations is finally when they're
taken down to their
knees you understand whenever America's
nice to
netan whenever they're dealing with
netan they're going good with netan
giving him his weapons
whatever don't be that
excited don't be that excited all it's
doing is pushing it out a little pushing
out history a little further
now you don't think America's going to
be taken down to its
knees the whole story is the biggest
most powerful country in civilization in
the world is taken down there his knees
and then the
Jews you know come
out so what's the most powerful country
in the
world a couple of them but Still Holding
On by a thread is the
us so you want to be friends with
Israel okay God will preserve you cuz
the remember the original rules those
who bless them will be blessed those who
curse them will be cursed so is it any
wonder that there's all these American
Congress people and various possible
presidents cursing
Israel any
Wonder we're getting towards the
end and so all these nations who are
forgetting those lines in the Torah that
whoever blesses us will be blessed
whoever curses us will be
cursed this is what I say by the way
when I get anti-semitic comments on the
street doesn't happen too often but it's
happened a few times I always just say
to him whoever blesses us will be
blessed whoever curses us will be cursed
you it's your own faith
bro sealed your own
fate
so you know if America wants to keep
Lessing us so it'll push things out a
little further for
them but if you know history I doubt
it's going to stay this way if you know
the history of the Jewish
people I don't think we're going to
finish with like one friendly wolf
remember we're sheep among 70 wolves
we're not going to have one wolf with
like a little Bonnet you know a wolf in
a Bonet it's a
wolf it's like it gets a little closer
to the Sheep but you know it's not going
to become friends with the
Sheep
so chances
are you know we're in we're in for we're
in for a very extremely special ride
coming up and it's our job now is to be
the amula we got to be that Nation we
got to be the treasured Nation we got to
be those
people that God intended us to be to be
that representative of Hashem in this
world and
and to bring
Redemption uh in any way we can but in
the end it's just going to be hashem's
glory the whole world was only created
for his glory that's it and we're just
going to be the witnesses at the end
question is will we make it meaning we
yes the Jews will make it but will you
make it no promise individually so let's
do our best each one of us to be the
holiest Jew anyone ever met people
should see on a weekday and say good
chabas no better compliment than being
seen on a weekday and someone says just
good Travis and then realize oh it's not
Chavis that's you should be that Holy
and people accidentally say good chavas
you in the middle of the week
