The Logical Formula Behind the Teshuva Magic - Rabbi Efraim Stauber

[Music] all right so all of this talk has been really warm and really fuzzy it's all about using our emotions to escape our mind and get into hope and stuff like that but the end of the day the mind comes back and it says how is it supposed to work I'm gonna do Chuba but I can't so we do need to explain that a little bit and let's first have a short little education on how it works when we fight our yurts are hard because there's an obvious question we think about any thinking person there's a it's like a huge conundrum actually how did Hashem set things up we have a Sahara and we got a Yates or toe we've got to make a choice hmm today it's hard yeah it's a tough yeah one shoulder is like Oh be good be good will be bad be bad um so who's stronger your gaze our heart is stronger of course is gonna win and they chat oh I'm stronger of course he's gonna win if it's perfectly pitched well then how do we choose if you think about it it makes no sense and I want to share with you what I learned pretty much appear as itself about this and it's a very basic understanding of how our relationship with HR in a two-top work the Gemara says him sex condition I think is that cough test the a Tahara is not a force that we can beat ill male huh cottage bar who is really a noise yaha light what that means is we cannot be dead to her but not because HR is stronger than us it's option 3 it's a perfectly pitch battle if we don't work at all if we don't fight of course we're going to lose we have to fight as hard as we can but when we do it's equal tie but then what happens is Hashem helps us when we do our part Hashem comes in and saves the day so that's how it works we cannot be de - Hara he cannot beat us as long as we're fighting but we will remain stuck and then I am sadist and this is a very important idea I'll explain soon what this means in a sense it's much more powerful than just being near to her but first we see this in the name of the Jewish people and in Yaakov Aveeno yahoo Aveeno had two names Yaakov and Easter all and different than Avraham who lost his first name of Avram Yaakov was called both names interchangeably Yaakov and neutral and the Jewish people are also called both were base Yaakov urban we're called both names what does that signify what that signifies is the two states of the Jewish people Yakko the name Yakko represents the struggle that we have and you see that in the name itself Jakob is good and a keV a keV no which means he'll represents our struggle well a subset about Jakob oh yeah why did you call him Yaakov vyek veiny zipper Miami tricked me twice a curve means to trick a is the part of the body that is dead skin it's the furthest away from the mind and bajalia a curve Tish moon it represents all the misses that we do without thinking without intent without consciousness it is our weak spot that's a curve your does the opposite good has to do with the mind you and it has to do with kedusha you'd always means the future in the Hebrew language if you put a year before a word it makes it future tense char yah shear shave yeh shave your is a futuristic tense the future only exists in your mind your represents kedusha future intelligence uses the opposite of yet give the name Yaakov represents that the iord is completely focused from the mind toda a curve and that was the perfection of Yaakov Ave no but that's a difficult struggle to be conscious to be intentful to be thinking about your life but that's not enough we can't really win but what happens is is a miracle what happens when we do our part when yacouba's Yaakov then he gets the name use charlie fights with the angel this Irish lace of all night and he says your name is you stole keys Teresa Imel Kimba to Cole you are more powerful than angels how because God is gonna help you he's gonna lift you up from your struggle to a place that is far beyond your wildest imaginings so even though we need to struggle down here but what we know is that when we can't do it anymore Hashem is gonna take us at the next level and you see that in the pus ik men ha mates are chorus Iike there are none Eve America I called you from a mate sorry I called you if I was stuck with a narrow place I couldn't get out that's Yaakov but I shouldn't you answered me from America when I said man Jesus he lifts us out of that mates are and then suddenly we feel the power of spirituality that from our nation that was wait we didn't have access to it while we were struggling and brings us to a completely new dimension when we think about sins it brings this is a very small place we got stuck in a major just remembering how stuck we are and it's the prescient but when you picture that when a Shem helps you he brings you to a divine place an infinite place a place of pleasure a pleasure satisfaction a place of positivity that is where Trueba really starts to happen so we need to jump in and I want to just give you a little illustration that I experienced once I was working with some boys and we learned something and it was a little prize for them I was like okay we're gonna go paragliding and we went to the top of this mountain and there was a sky I think name was Itamar and he's gonna like okay guys we're gonna strap you to this like parachute you go in the front I go in the back and we're just gonna run off this cliff and it was like 1,200 meters high and I was like look before I did it I kind of crawled it would say that you looked over and I was just getting dizzy just like what hmm and he said just run off the cliff I'm like what do you mean this R off the cliff he goes yeah and it's really important you like run at it because if you know if you don't really want off the cliff then we're not gonna get airborne properly and then we're gonna go rolling down and I'll be like really bad so make sure you commit to this you know run off the cliff it was probably the scariest thing I ever I don't know dinner my life you just run off a cliff and a crazy thing happened I ran off the cliff and I didn't even make it close to the edge the minute I committed to that run I felt the wind pick me up and this is gonna be great and that's the true it feels like it's scary like crazy jumping in but once you commit to it once you run off the cliff and you just allow yourself to escape the voice of guilt and shame in your mind feel the pain the brokenness of the base image of your own base image - then the hope starts to come then Akashi lifts us up and just carries us much higher I want to reach you from Avenue Yona here's how a burner says in the beginning of a seifish archivo this boy I bought a rakia as our Hashem lashavia share and yada t Varmus agus Hashem will help the returning person far beyond his own ability we had a speaker bum row after her allaha Sigma a Lhasa Havas a cynic it was like a new pure our spirit so we could achieve love of hashem cinema Vasavada shamma jehova shamma tobacco day and then it says more hashem leks love of clubs Lavazza raka lajas aghhhh Ahava say the message here is of course the mind has no idea how to chuva because we can't do sure the thing is once you jump in once we do everything that we can we're gonna have divine yeah we're gonna have divine assistance I cut himself was gonna get but he didn't he's gonna pull us out of who we are how he'd see me mask your enough she so of course the eight so her has to stop you from trying he's got to beat you up he's got to make you give up before you try because once you do he knows it's all over so join us in the spiritual seminar kabura send your email to the Torah Center at gmail.com and join us as we train escaping the mind as it will paralyze us through the experience of our own emotions so we can access the unlimited dimension of the neshamah of a cottage broke of sea otter dish Maya to return the cottage barkal before this Rosh Hashanah [Music] you [Applause]
