this child is a soul and that means that
they are intrinsically
worthy unconditionally worthy and
infinitely
worthy so three things that I talk about
in the parenting
course that a soul and therefore every
child is intrinsically worthy
unconditionally worthy and infinitely
worthy intrinsically worthy means their
worth comes from within they don't have
to go out and do something to get
it doesn't have to be
acquired unconditional means they can't
lose it there's nothing they can do to
lose their worth which is related to
Intrinsic that it's built in and it's
infinite infinite means how worthy are
they there's no number for it and if you
really want to be philosophical Infinity
is not only that which cannot be
detracted from Infinity is that which
cannot be added to either if you want to
be philosophical for a moment because
Infinity
really there's nothing you can do to
make it less but there's nothing you can
do to make it any more than it is
already so the real value of a soul
can't be
lost but it can't even be
embellished it's already as great as it
could possibly
be I was this morning I was with a group
at the oo I do that quite
often umem since coming to the five
towns is one of the things I've been had
the Merit to be involved in probably at
this point probably over a 100 groups
and it's something I'm very happy to do
last night somebody called me I think at
8:00 P.M he said we're coming from
Toronto
tomorrow and uh in fact he told me we're
landing at Teterboro and I said listen I
don't know who else you're calling to
set up your trip but don't everyone here
knows Teterboro is where the private
jets land so if you want to get a break
on anything like don't mention you're
Landing in t he's like oh yeah you're
right you know that's please you know
just LaGuardia just say it's LaGuardia
don't
yeah okay anyways so they came from
Teterboro and they came to the
aisle and um so they I I had 10 minutes
to speak to
them I had 10 minutes to speak to them
so uh
what am I going to tell them about going
to the
oil they said speak about a relationship
with the Reb and going to the Reb's
resting place and writing to the debbit
in 10 minutes 10 minutes yeah 10 minutes
and that took one of the 10 minutes so
then it was nine
yeah so I
said
um that I had a teacher who when he was
13 years old he he I mean this was in
the back in the 1950s when every
13-year-old Bar Mitzvah boy had had a
private audience with the rebit so which
is crazy if you think about it so he
asked
huh so he asked his teacher who was R KH
all of a Shalom when I go into how am I
supposed to conduct myself so you know
in the classic you know harsh Russian
Gruff style he says forget it I'll go
instead of you so he's like no I'm just
asking when I go into some private
audience with the how do I conduct
myself he says no no I'll go instead of
you I like I'm just asking how am I he
says listen to
me this world the physical world is a
false World normally when we say that we
mean things aren't what they seem that
we see things and we we buy into the
delusion that there's
creation without Creator right that's
what we mean when we say the world is a
false world but um that's not how meant
in that context what he meant was the
physical world is a false World in it
means that in this world where you're
embodied you don't see your true self so
the falsehood means you're divorced from
your own true
identity the soul and you play a role
and you go through life people think
you're something and you even think that
you're something and it's not really who
you are soel says to the B Mitzvah boy
says in this world of falsehood there's
one Dad one four cubits meaning one
little compartment of emus there's one
place where you are the real you and in
the one place where you are the real you
you're asking me how to
behave so I told them you're going into
the Ole to the Deb is resting place
which is it's a one-on-one meeting
that's what the rebba said the rebba
said going to said it about his
father-in-law's resting place that it's
a one-on-one meeting so I said
one-on-one meeting with the rebba is an
opportunity to be seen for who you
really are and you know if you ever met
anyone who even went by the de for
dollars for half a second what do they
what do they say is like I felt someone
really saw me I felt seen right so what
are you going to see okay you're not
going to see that because it's very
different going into the aisle than
going buy for dollars but what you see
is irrelevant here what's really
important is how you are
seen and what's happening is you're
being seen for your real self when you
go into the oil and you present yourself
to a sadic who's a loving father who
sees you for who you really are then you
leave from that interaction feeling
empowered to live up to
that okay I didn't want to make this
about and O and re
but I think this is very
important you want to know what a parent
has the ability to do a parent has the
ability to be that for their child the
way
the was able to look at you and make you
feel that you're the only thing in the
world and that your value is infinite
and unconditional and
intrinsic every parent can do that for
their child I want to tell you something
the worst people for this message I said
this in Crown Heights and the liters all
came to me afterwards and they said it's
not true the debit didn't I said what
are what are you talking about the was
always demanding from
people I said that's true do you know
how the Reba was able to get away with
demanding from
people because the rebba looked at every
Jew as already
being enough being
perfect you couldn't be more than you
already
are and since you're already perfect who
you are is perfect you couldn't be any
more perfect now it's only logical to
ask you to express that in your
Deeds that's how the de was able to get
away with
that every parent can and should do the
same exact
thing tell your child you don't have to
tell them they know you can't lie the
eyes don't lie when you light up when
they enter the room they will
know that you see them as intrinsically
worthy and infinitely worthy and
unconditionally worthy and then when
they know that that sense of self is
Rock Solid you can ask them to do a lot
you probably won't even have to ask
because they'll feel up to the
task and that's the power that parents
have that's the power that we really
have the power we have is to give our
children a
self-concept to give our children a
strong sense of
worthiness and value and
self-respect but in order to do that to
in order to give our children that sense
of self we have to be super super
careful not to
infringe not to Mis appro rate any of
the emotional energy in the relationship
because it's all supposed to go this
direction it's all supposed to be
flowing from us to them we're supposed
to be the consumate selfless givers in
the relationship and give them a sense
of self that's strong enough to go out
into the world and to achieve and to to
to fulfill their mission that their soul
came here for so we we got to always
check in with ourselves and we got to
always be we got to be honest with
ourselves we got to check our motives
make sure our motives are clean am I
trying to take from my child am I trying
to get Social proof from my child you
know like I want to be seen with my
child in a certain light I want my child
to be known in a certain way am I trying
to get validation for my child tell me
I'm good tell me I work hard tell me you
appreciate what I did it's not
cute is it difficult it's very
difficult it's more than difficult it's
painful it's it's
thankless it's
exhausting and if you're lucky you have
a spouse who's also ready to do this
with you and you can just look at each
other and say this is awful but we're in
it together so let's just finish let's
get to the end let's raise these kids
right but that that's a that's best case
scenario right nobody's getting
validation off of this
thing but if you can do it if you can be
there for you child to be their safe
person you're setting them up for Life
somebody once told me if my kid ever
does something stupid and gets in
trouble I don't want him to say oh no if
my dad finds out he'll kill me I want
him to say oh no I better call my dad
