good evening
can you definitely Hashem is okay if you
feel okay
good evening sitting here clearly here
now a special thank you to unique of
Kazakh UFC cats from press with research
institutes and Slee the officer nahama
and the officer Kaduna for beautiful
evening and my referee my time frame of
43 years I was speaking soon to all of
you for pulling this off tonight so
tonight is a commemoration of this week
is the your sight the anniversary of the
passing of knockdown of nemiro he was
the main student of nothing oppressor
the most but most of my own personal
inspiration since I'm a teenager has
come from us the teachers of the nachman
of breslev when I say most I'm probably
slightly exaggerating it's probably
close to 98% it's not 100% and I'm
actually serious so tonight I thought I
would share with you some of the nature
of some of the sources which I think
helped us understand why it is the rest
of the class leader which is very unique
in that it doesn't it doesn't require of
you to change of themself I'm a raised
smiley I'm actually technically Italian
on my father side my policy it
originally
the 13th century my mother's phone in
fact that it was told that she should be
more than back mom but she's pulling
back that and so I'm I was finally in my
mother's side but I was raised by the
indistinct which this hasn't gotten in
London all my life I'm when I when I
started delving into rental car citizen
so interesting to me that he was a
sinner but you know it's called as I
said it's really not unless I see the
support it doesn't require you to change
your clothing or your new stuff so that
means you can be a spotty and still be
bracelet you can be a link visible
and it's not be present it does require
you to make any serious changes in who
you actually are
so I think that's one of the main
negative one of the main points that has
made breadth of sanction it easy entree
easy entrance but the real joys and the
real content what I believe press the
passive is is has such an immense appeal
to a full gamut total spectrum of plug
is so anyone here has been to Pomona
anyone hears into a month okay so oh wow
okay let's move into a map so if you've
been to mine especially for Rosh
Hashanah anyone here for mean for us out
yet rose enough so you all know that if
you have to identify is every type of
Jew there on Rosh Hashanah yes or no yes
any manageable type of Jew ponytail not
one though earrings not earrings
strangled out of swine book and did you
get the sense of just tell me this was
your experience did you get the sense
that nobody could care less about
appearance was actually absolute - you
got the litigators stop the strongest
sense that all barriers
differences were meaningless and that
we're all there for the same reason
because you have a moon opposite are
very strong simple and we're not
conviction that here is varied one of
the greatest subjugate ever one of the
greatest subdeacon righteous individual
to be world history and that his
teachings have a very deep profound and
simple relevance on a daily basis so I'm
gonna share with you some of the
statements that I feel have been the
most penetrating for myself and
something that I've been focusing on one
more in the last year or so I think in
most of my presentations and that is the
role of Messiah the role of your mind
the role of thought so from nothin and
it's tonight
the Europe a cup of ricotta was this
week so in high a meringue which nothing
put together many of the statements of
them now not in the breslav he tells us
the following and then quote you inside
I don't usually do that on the inside so
we want you to hear the words and
through it I think it helps us have a
deeper appreciation why people get so
excited about these aspiring know the
back of the room will see their almost
every safer that's impressive has been
printed in English including the
cusamano's book the best part of 30
years to to translate with all the
annotations all that all the footnotes
so let me share with you well nothing
says about thought so much about leave
reality and a high level of your thought
was created to never rest
you cannot stop thinking dimensions in
the next line that when you're sleeping
you're also thinking we we're not we're
not really cognizant of it obviously but
that's the reality your mind never stops
thinking but when says next is really
quite extraordinary about the
maybe your mind never stops thinking
about alienation Martina my shovel good
solo when you decide to move from one
thought to another exactly as you are
holidays including repack them through
this you can cancel to compare and
strengthen yourself : about sir what did
you bring will be able in through the
next thought you can actually let go of
whatever thoughts or confusion was
pounding on my mind was hurting me
she says her club the pool here she say
she needs my Lada
this here's to us she can share the
shabbier Masha book with you boy hope
you believe that it's really hard to
stop thinking and anxiety resentment
anger hatred confusion fear ooh chicken
Godot
this is a tremendous illusion not true
it's completely untrue keep an X because
in reality
ha ha ha ba ba-da-da not yet so low a
person always has the ability to switch
to a different force how many of you
have been let's say starving like I know
how many hours and somebody and now you
talk for the next hour and a half you
get off the phone and now that are later
and you save yourself what does it do
put me on solving excuse me excuse me
the refrigerator and then I got
distracted
do you see how my mind wait somewhere
else and in doing so was not even
thinking about food with my friends
your mind is doing that and is capable
of that all the time
a person doesn't have to be an
incredible person who train of stature
in control of floors to do this is
telling this is how you work all the
time anyway and that one person can
switch his mind to a different thoughts
one of the examples he gives is in
liquid Imahara of a horse and a rider
the horses you're thinking and the
writer was you where are your thoughts
taking you and he says if you're taking
a director you don't ones going because
you don't enjoy these thoughts about
your mother-in-law or your father-in-law
or your sister or your brother-in-law
when you're not enjoying the thoughts
about your boss or about your career
about one spiritual career or one's wife
or husband or children or or community
or neighbor with everybody so when my
thoughts are getting carried away and
it's taking me that makes me feel angry
or bitter or upset because that's what
my teacher is doing to my feeling I feel
like all the time
so comes another aggressive and says all
we have to do like the rider on the
horse is move terrain anyone here in
horse riding you move the rings just I
already slightly all these ugly
you're not the blowhard to get the horse
to go into direction it's a very slight
pull and the horse goes in a different
direction the one you want the most it
going
the boss is our thought of thinking your
mind is able to switch to something else
comes with nothing Omega rough and the
office of farming in tough cosas
in a hot debate there was one kind of
speakings of nothing impressed me about
how they my own mother would confuse me
because it was whether it was feeling
down or in my informants mitzvahs when I
wash my hands right to do not do them in
secret because I keep those properly
without right amount of wine etc so then
he says that resulted recently he
replied to me party party income
I've already spoken to you about this
shame I'm sorry stop tell Elsa you do
not need to pay attention to this think
about it I'm thinking about thinking
about it so remember reply the second
time begin
pinky the up huh
so nothing right this is an amazing
civil strategy many times we get so
absorbed by our thinking the overweight
thinking is so much weight there is
nothing at me all the time and I'm
getting a headache from my own thinking
and comes up with nothin from nothin
quoting with nothing he come up honey
the cold I should've seen little done
the more I try to push them the ease of
the Cure with whatever force I'm using
to push my thoughts away guess what
happens next hand about them you know
ten they confuse me law do you know why
because I'm fighting my thinking
so says he cancer the main advice leave
me how to love shock the hell out ignore
them
don't pay attention don't think about
the thoughts well it's a solid time
recovery take your mind off it
completely one of the examples he gives
is learn episode oh yeah busy we're
focusing we give myself more time with
your own business coming this is called
maybe cool to friends just busy there's
so many ways we distract ourselves pick
up a book not my elbows you would offer
that when a person is experiencing the
etc since up enough repressive in turn
49 I get Sahara
it's really the most sugar ground my
thinking is lying in Sahara them up
above the top is not force that's trying
to destroy me it's my own thinking it's
my thoughts it's so liberating to
experience that what I'm experiencing is
me it's not my wife it's not my husband
to stop the traffic it's not the traffic
that's stressing me out
it's my thinking about the traffic think
about my wife Joyce mean us I'm thinking
and thinking it's not the kids it's not
my spouse some comes along with huffman
to resolve it nothin but linin up and he
says the bombing
I could go to sleep if I am lying in bed
tough hoodlum could you close to my
checkered state having when I think
about something that's not true twice
guess what happens now sit in that it
becomes reality
so I'm thinking about something someone
said to me at work today or who cut me
off or interrupted me or said an unkind
word we'll look at me the way that I am
hurt oh it really is that sister-in-law
or brandable that really really upset me
or probably ashamed in front of my mess
my family or bullies me ever whatever it
is says another I go to see the night
and I think about something not once or
twice and it suddenly becomes real for
me come out since my bed met other they
just haven't already checked their state
humming I keep reviewing this again in
the game and guess what happens it
becomes real to me you really you are
struck nasty piece of work
Richard absolutely bed I'm not sleepy I
can't fall asleep because my mind is
reinforcing this thought Donna asked me
said the following she gets ever here's
a person should show him I'll be top dog
he's lying in bed who both definitely
both Havilah he's thinking in his mind
something about a friend of what my
cousin did this person spoke against him
or did something not nice towards him
like he sought to make him angry who
closer to zero anything related to that
Walmart killings I get upset
he begins to get all fired up Oh every
boy and now his enemies be inflamed
against his friend he says he's trying
to sleep but when he finds his mind is
up sleeping in his mind is very busy
collecting information that Houston
yes this person is east of thank you
rubbish garbage and it's done this is my
lair Gazala I become so angry gates this
person nothing because I'm the one who's
doing this in my own mind against this
person Oh bender Hakeem said calmly
meanwhile completely he never made what
I thought he meant but he wanted to
speaking speech because behind me he was
upset about something else there's so
many other possibilities behind stuck on
my interpretation and I agree view it
and reviewers and reviewers ladies and
gentlemen
guess who's not going to sleep tonight
I'm the one who's suffering what am I
doing this to myself
so in this inner can a similar vein he
tells us in peganum that's the paragraph
83 of C katana do you know it when I
will be so hair I'll be deserving of he
shoot had that a meaty little peace of
mind now you should that's very
important work issue this from our charm
to mince it up it's a piece of necklace
where the mind is in all sorts
directions you should buy that means
their mind is sampled and easy to focus
without going in lots of direction
wherever you like experience you should
had that are witty when my legs are
facing the door I just passed away and
now all of a sudden every to Papa every
desire I had every anxiety every fear
every bill goal every type of confusion
I ever had slowly disappears we're not
in this world anymore we're entering
hola
world and all of a sudden it becomes so
obvious that all the fretting and anger
and disappointment anguish and then I
wake up dead to the reality that these
natural world and minds they were doing
100% their best I was holding them to an
unrealistic expectation make me based on
my culture or my upbringing and in doing
so guess who's getting hurt
I'm hurting myself to nothing and you
should duck are meeting the real peace
of mind will come about when it says
nothing why should I wait so long if I
realize now what I'm really awakened in
this world the really anxiety and fear
and confusion is what I'm thinking about
the world and yet as he he brings
attention to be at the last to a paradox
of Socotra is in Martin's wisdom at the
back thing and get phenomenal phenomenal
book risen actually by that by Area
Catholic robbery captain's first
translation ever was enough nice wisdom
see this a run and he make the claim
that he believed his personal success as
a prolific writer extraordinary deep
thinker and writer was because the first
book he ever translated was an utterance
of presence safe to her secret among
from Athens wisdom in the last two
paragraphs you'll see there where none
was quoted say don't ever say the good
old days
I stop to say it's not good now but it
is
this Democratic factor that party who
are twisting values so the freedom that
you definition of freedom is to do what
you want in any way which way you want
with who your one
legitimize same gender what's the one
carry and the sense of Nachman don't
ever fall into the trap of thinking the
world's getting worse of the good old
days he says from the beginning of time
it's got better and better and better
I'm from a queen or king below and then
heats up and then Yahoo and then she
pick up and sorry email and rifka and
Rahel and there and then I drop a dollar
and all the plates are deacon the Baal
Shem Tov dambisa Oh sizzle Nachman and
when the comes will be the final
tickle the world is getting better and
better all the time
don't get trapped in the media I'm
seeking me so much it's mine
it's a compliment of impressive it tells
us live person Lashon maja that's the
biggest crisis personality of Mustapha
much the hungies thoughts
listen commies the state of happiness
they share the exact same that's as one
because where does happen that's truly
exist in your pinky you know a unique
ways it went it went any experience them
Oh sim huh it is the Mustapha takes
place in the mind the person tells us
ekata the main person who have a ship a
ship and wha that is the thought that is
in your brain shinigami-sama this is
probably become too heavy and not yours
hello Hey the many human being is not
your body
it's not your wardrobe of the car it's
not sick we live in its not the science
of our home it's not even who were
married to and so you know yes it's not
even our children the little ass what
are we thinking but not because it's a
clinic they were what we acquire in our
lifetime that we take with us into the
next world the force of Big Bang
capsules on RCL's looking for an
interpretation that puts ourselves in
look like some of me beating myself up
I'm no good I'll never be a good father
never be a good mother I'll never be
good a good parents I've made a good
husband never go white and I'm beating
myself up
where am I beat myself up in my thoughts
and the merits of mistakes I've made and
comes LoPresto that tells us again in
the game
I'm always only one bullet away from
changing the regaled me one thought away
oh my gosh is that enough to inject
simcha happiness because is it possible
then if that's really really really true
then why was yesterday day before a
month ago a year ago doesn't dictate who
I am today it's just a memory of me and
my mistakes of the past so what was
suddenly
be true the only person we really are is
right now oh the right now is just now
and now and now it's the next door it's
the next thought it's next thought we
always are one thought away from
whatever we've been experienced until
now that we don't enjoy don't like that
we get filled with anger or resentment
or concern us the liberation that this
is inviting us to have is the greatest
in vegetable liberation because a person
would be a prisoner in a prison and
recognize that the only prison there is
a real prison is if I'm increases by my
own thoughts and I believe I can't
change I believe there's no hope for me
I'm putting myself down on inactive
without measure and that's just a
thought they get Sahara the in Sahara
was created for us not to keep not
conquer it was created for us not to
listen to and no matter how many times
keeps coming back knocking on the doors
of our mind don't open the door and if I
do close it
there's nothing written off it once he
was in a tavern or some sort of
gathering and he was about to depart I
don't exactly and one of the offices of
the bazaar tommy was not want to know if
any of the officers were there and they
said no no one's here so when's wait
they came back a few moments later not
the game or any of our officers from the
army there and they said no and he came
back three four five times convention of
Neverland who was it'll look at her
Allison the blue team run he says
everything screams out I shall stay for
Jen's mind is everywhere
all the time screaming out I am here she
said you know what I mean right now this
is exactly how they get to how it works
he knocks on the doors of my mind
the letter said blessed minute and if
you keep saying he's not here
it's no one get that what you're looking
for is not here eventually by you
ignoring him and saying this this what
you're looking for is not yet if you
want to but I'm not interested
oh you want me to think natira resent
another towards this person not
interested the more you don't let him in
don't open the door
just close it keep quiet eventually
you'll go away
so nothing looks like even if this
happens happiness of times in the end he
guarantees they get her will give up go
elsewhere he might try a new strategy
we'll get back on that one
because there's no entrance you're not
left hanging in that's how it works it
madness initially the very first
necklace on methods richly there's a
interesting story of a king and he
decides that it was extremely popular in
his kingdom he wants to measure the
loyalty of his subjects so how does he
do that
he goes over the general of his army and
the take of Italian of the forces and go
from city to city to city throughout my
kingdom and threatened that if they
don't join you in the rebellion against
me you're gonna blacklist and come back
later and just ceased the siege the city
and conquer it and if they join you you
you add them to the list of loyal
loyalists to the revolution and then
I'll know who is not loyal to me did you
follow so that the general goes from
city to city wins
and sends a message that whose side you
want or are you gonna join me in
rebellion against the king so some of
them are in fear of the consequences if
they don't switch loyalty to the general
so they said we'll join you I said I'll
be good I'll leave you alone
some say it's so good to us
why would read the trade in we're not
rebelling okay I'll deal with you later
I'm coming back and all the cecum City
and conquer the whole city eventually he
comes to a city where and there's a have
fun it's a very wise thing noise I said
this makes no sense
how the King not be aware the general
city knocking on the gates of every city
and inviting him to join the rebellion
the hum says oh it's obvious that the
general is a messenger of the king this
is the key is behind this I'm going to
make some sense what's up dude
he comes out of the city gates and a
sense of general is like know what
you're up dude don't bother
our loyalty remains with the king no
matter what so forget about your false
claims at the pool spreads and the
simple analogy is Hashem is the king and
the gates of Hara is a general and he's
sent to us not to hurt us but to test my
loyalty and says am NOT an oppressor
keep closing the book don't anything
comes back Jessie resentment close the
thought goes with different thoughts
let's go anxiety fear let's dog if you
know that's where you don't enjoy life
it makes it brings me down move on to a
different thoughts I want to encourage
you the teachings of the number of
wrestler have now become available in
many
but especially in English and breasts
Research Institute has translated almost
almost all their sparring and and taken
seeds for example the crossing of the
narrow bridge where not one himself says
he Carver have a cloud I Iike the rule
and the main thing is shall only it's
perfect cloud that this world is a
gadgets are the odds the odds it's
extremely extremely narrow bridge
there's only one direction going once in
this world there's only one directions
going and that is excuse me for being
blunt death so the only thing I've got
to deal with is why I'm here and he says
the main thing is how a car the main
thing is shallow get up head Club which
is reflexive in grammar means I should
not make myself fearful because there's
nothing outside that can make me clear
except the thought of fear that's why
Jewish soldiers are actually commanded
lucky Rama head once on thirty leads us
is not to fear your enemy but I see
they're much greater than me and God
actually says that's a thought if you
think they're bigger than you well guess
what that's what I'm asking you to have
it's a big of a man I'm controlling and
giving power to every single cell in
their body
I drove their weapons I can make their
missiles miss out to swell every time
ask Saddam insane that was a real
negligent who say those does a bit crazy
dog missiles it comes a long time father
that says love t Rama here comes on
another president I think I is shallow
needs pocket come
don't make oneself fearful of anything
or anyone because it's only thoughts I
don't have to fear my thoughts because I
can always go
the next thought is about the merit of
knowing now that is where we operate
experience life all the time and that we
truly compare liberate ourselves by
recognizing I never imprisoned by my
thoughts unless I imprison myself with
my thoughts and if I do I am how far
away from the next thoughts one source
the way in the suit of that we should
all be so handsome us in our lives on me
[Applause]

thank you all for coming
Betsy why I leave the safe whatever I'm
just gonna carry on the affluence and
whatever I be able to say about support
there's nothing impressive the jokes are
yesterday and if you've ever written
it's enough there's a book called the
hospital he's active depressed about a
chariot of ash and I swore I saw this
wonderful chariot so many angels so many
different things that were right and
then the Carrie Hashem kaviraja the to
put means I have two columns mr. Babbitt
it says that this chariot is really a
person's mind your mind is a chariot for
Russian right you could either absorb
the ideas that comes new and formation
in those ideas or to create an English
area that's the way the tea cookies are
expenses towards the end of the hour and
it's an amazing thing but not me as the
very end he mentioned less than 49 is
the curtain around somebody
it's an amazing feeling
Timothy that words you have the answer
told for the Xsara way this is the word
to come from what is the word idiot sir
so what is that word the exact power by
the word yes sir
she is the move of the word his rock
they created the information all right
and as was explained when you start
thinking about all the different things
that you think about alright
you are creating your life it for think
ruthless you're making a hater of your
lady the any some time is making you but
you are making the answer it's a
creation that it's good if on the other
hand you have evils once you are making
a hater horror you are creating evil the
things that go over you of your life you
create them you bring them happy or not
everything of course I'm gonna show
those sentence sometimes the ball from
left field we're restricting you from
right field
well not a lot of things for my lap
things that we never ask for things that
we never expect they have as much as
they happen right as much as they happen
that's all for my show but how many
times do we make decisions and it's the
extra 12 it's a good decision or the
opposite I've made the decision didn't
work out so well huh all right what do
we do that what do we do at that point
in our lives that we have
this is now that I have to but I can
clean it I made it happen
so as we heard earlier everything is in
the fluids everything really is
worthless but bananas teaching lesson
who tomorrow he explains that he always
have to judge everybody favourably
submission and we thought this poem all
of the cops was as much as you have to
judge everybody favorably he says it
also includes yourself you have to judge
yourself favourably is there anyone here
and whoever said it yourself you idiot
we did it again right did it ever happen
right we know what we think we know
where we're headed we know the ideas
that go through our minds the renounces
dolphin that we think so good when
you're involved with thinking good just
thinking good you're already connected
to good throughout a matter as he
explains their man has written else
explains experience part of the hotel
office the first volumes we have just
thank our Sheriff is available or will
be available the next few weeks it's on
its way here from Eretz Israel but
everyone else it explains the time I
shall like well god is good for everyday
which means that wherever there's any
good he is fine if you want
good this book see good is it that one
no it's not bad but we're used to
hearing what we heard may day of the
media right the idea is the things that
were exposed to every single moment
right it's terrible it's horrible
right when I moved there it's eternal
1975 is 45 years ago right there was no
store in my neighborhood that sold the
newspaper also at that time the Israeli
phone system was extremely primitive so
I didn't have a phone I had of all I
don't pay those paper right the rainbow
was mostly people I didn't speak
absolutely people I spoke and I found
myself cut off from the world and I said
you know it's discrete I don't get any
videos and I never back videos it was
right I was able to live a quiet
tranquil life because I wasn't exposed
to all the garbage that is fed to us by
all the different means of transmission
but be not resist would figure I do read
newspapers once in the world just kind
of catch up every time I go I said why
don't I go but anything
it's of there's so much good in the
world so much you could attach ourselves
so if we just think English
[Music]

[Music]
where do i mike yeah
[Music]
why this is this fellow who's a cop in
this video
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay enough said everyone should be
happy till the end this advice in common
right
Yiddish means till the day when they put
all those white everything clothes that
they bury a dead person in right we
heard before about death so what happens
but they haven't said so that that
happens or we smile and be happy
how could you with the IRS on the back
with these local taxes state taxes to
build the electricity the telephone
bills especially the cell phone and
everything else that comes into your
life
did that mean how can I be happy well I
have to look for ways to be happy I have
to find something that's going to tell
me I'm having have to do anything and
everything in your power to be happy one
of the reasons we're not happy check
yourself out on this this communication
between husband wife parents a child it
should be friends what happened did you
ever notice that there's something
called a friend and there's something
called a and acquaintance
right how many votes have friends real
friends and a real friend is someone
who's there for you 24/7 if you ever
need that they'll be there for you
alright today they hold of the BFF right
but how many BFFs leaves you if they
finish school or you move I to the
neighborhood or whatever happens right
friends a lot of joy in life a friend is
because of our communication you
communicate with that friend you speak
to them you tell them what's in your
heart
you tell them what's on their mind and
you communicate that which is deep
inside you how many of us have friends
that we can actually communicate the
joys and the happiness that we're
experiencing the challenges the
frustrations the depression that's going
on inside my heart can I tell this to
everyone all my friends have a know
little couples choice friends only under
certain circumstances communication
that's the key word alright today
communications just wanted the biggest
industries multi-billion dollar
industries with all the cell phones
internet wireless Wi-Fi you name it it's
all happier but how much could I
communicate ever try a Facebook right
you open yourself up on Facebook before
you turn around to somebody
mocking you right this is communication
baby nothing has an idea about
communication he tells us everything you
should speak to your ready which means
not that you could speak to him every
day but that you study this our study
the teachings of the Torah there be
nothing speaks further about speaking to
a friend Sheila Katie with a friend
right because they have something that
you don't have and you have something
that they don't have and we communicate
what you're doing is you're passing like
this so you're growing in knowledge the
main communication reverie nothing says
speak to God whereas a friend of mine
praises it how did you ever establish a
relationship with someone with whom you
never speak you ever Cynthia I'm
suffering this or that and you think
about a shed did you ever tell about
Jeff and tell them that you're hurting
you're not happy with this thing you're
suffering Jeff and tell them how happy
you want how thankful you are for the
few foods that are going your way you
just speak then you ever try it
right this is where monopolies
main idea speak to a ship tell them
today it's a great thing I saw once a
little prayer on someone's refrigerator
it was a pencil
I shouldn't I have to tell you that
today my day is going great
everything is working out I don't feel
any stress I don't feel any problems or
pressure I feel rested I feel relaxed I
don't mind and explain it but I will say
that in another minute I'm going to be
getting out of bed what's gonna happen
then communication
think about it what's happening in my
life and then I go through I get dressed
today I thank touch him I have
arthritis it's good but I used to get
dressed in a couple of minutes when I
was a kid you today he takes me plate
minutes right when I finally get rinsed
they say thank you mushroom we got this
for today let's go further right
so I communicate with Hashem right this
is on this is this is difficulties and
challenges and this brings me joy we
have to learn to communicate with that
tell them looks like your mind tell them
what's on your heart tell them all the
joys and happiness that you have next
week a near session
I'm marrying off my nice Grinch of
possible okay
[Applause]
purnima
especially this child's mother I do it
this way so I'm happy
am I happy can I be happy right now
who the joy me full will be something
missing I don't know I'll be at the
wedding I'll find out but immediate
option I look for joy I look for the
happiness I look for the expression of a
shed thank you that we got this water
life thank you that this was
accomplished thank you that we're here
we can do what we can today I have
problems okay I sure I got problems
I'm interested in this hurts me that
hurts this incident happened that
problem around arose the channels of
communication have to open they will not
open to you enter your friend until you
communicate with Hashem you will learn
to open up those lines of communication
when you learn to speak freely to
Russian and everything that happens
thank you Russian I appreciate this
Hashem I'm not so happy with that you
can tell that you're allowed to tell us
them that's a service or backers this is
too challenging for me I can't take it
anymore right you're allowed to do that
what you have to do always is to know
that everything is from aschen even the
thoughts that we spoke about earlier
they all come from Hashem right and they
will direct you to where you have to be
on this day and today it's not the same
I don't know I remember probably
remember
all right many years ago there was a
group they had a song they talked about
you know when you think that everything
is going good everything is great it's
fantastic but yesterday all my troubles
seemed so far away right there was a
group that said that kind of a slope is
the rest of the song
I thought yesterday that everything was
going great my life today
all of a sudden you know and I got
problems but I can say that to Russia I
can speak to a ship I can express myself
I could communicate and when I do that I
learned to open up my heart I learned to
open up the lines of communication and
if that means I am able so learn to be
happy because I have released from
myself the anguish the problems that
were facing me there shall we learn to
open up these lines of communication and
base option everything will work out
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay so we want to communicate think of
all the conversations that you have how
many of them are side of the
conversation
how many of them just senseless and just
getting things off my chest or they're
not really worth much or what infinite
cases all right you want to communicate
you want to have BFF want to have a good
friend you want well why should you have
a good friend if you are not a good
friend
what if you're a different kind of
person
right why should the other person be
friendly
why should I have this kind of
connection 13 operated in Oland swaro
driven also the wrestler and difficulty
all of these goes on and on on one topic
one topic perhaps more than any other
topic discussed in his writings that
topic is Emunah faith right thanks we're
Jewish nation if you look in the
dictionary even merriam-webster has this
thing Jewish faith means they have faith
in the Judaism faith in God right it
comes out from where thoughts without
removing want to hit so Yakko one time
to Egypt with them and it will solidify
fooled into account
three it's Sunday so I shall appear here
dust and he said look if you have
several careful I am God your boy I'm
God and God could do anything all right
I had once with a fellow who's not
religious literally just people you're
so close mind you're so narrow-minded
right we think of everything okay is
there anyone here in business
you ever notice in business you're
pursuing the contract
alright and as you're pursuing the
contract right you have one month two
months three months it doesn't
materialize right but your company is
going under right what happens somewhere
somehow I have to clear blue comes a
client and you make a deal and you have
the money to continue the business ever
happen every month right
these are things that happen all the
time or any other of us in life we have
things that we think about we think this
is where my salvation or my goal would
materialize and it doesn't materialize
it's like something just hang on reach
and then all of a sudden something that
I didn't count upon cost so this fella
tells me we Jews a very narrow-minded
and I told them you've had it completely
wrong completely wrong you believe in a
lot of things so comfortable anything
that happens in your life what do you do
is you
all the air views that you can think of
you pursue so you think you have an open
mind because to pursue whatever Avenue
you want but did you ever notice that
the Salvation you're seeking comes from
a place you never thought of or the idea
the goal the ultimate business deal or
whatever it may be
comes from a place that you've never
thought of doesn't that happen yeah it's
just that's what I believe I believe in
God God is infinite so I'm not community
by all the things I'm you think about
I am never limited in what happens to me
in my life I always know because I
believe that there's a God who can do
anything literally anything and with
that I know that the ultimate result of
what I need will happen to me this is
the ultimate solution will come so we
have to believe in God he's in today
remember things look beyond hope
sometimes they are but really no matter
how bad things look I share the zulus
there and that share is beyond anything
you can imagine believe in him and
you'll see a completely different world
that he never saw until now
so the first leg of faith is belief in
God okay but there's another leg to
faith and that is called face in the
Torah the Torah caused by a Shem it sees
diamonds
it's his book of life trying to go into
the army they give you
you gotta live like this you going to
politics is there manual you go to
accounting it's a manual the manual that
we as a nation have is determined and we
have to look through the Torah for
whatever it is that we're seeking the
turn is there for us we have to believe
that that part of the religion
the Torah is what guides us and there's
a third leg to faith that leg is faith
in the truths of meet you there are many
leaders in the world today all of them
are really followers right what did the
poll say that's what I'm gonna promote
there's my head there's my position
right doesn't matter who you are you're
a politician you're a follower you're
not a leader a leader is much more
random motion of AD would shoot
something what's your opinion when they
committed the golden calf motion remain
who goes up to rush him imagine just
pictured the scenario he's standing
before Hashem none other than I've said
himself
Hashem said leave me alone I'm gonna
wipe them out right what would you do he
says don't worry I'll make you into a
great nation
that's much already even have his own
nation isn't that enticing isn't that
what every politician is for right but
shiraito says let's let's be reasonable
huh chef you're not gonna touch two here
on one head of any Jew you're not going
to touch one hair on one head a manager
all right through either wipe me out or
you let them live to forgive them who
forget about it it's gone completely
forgiving and otherwise you get rid of
me to the annoy people I put my name on
the launch of the people that's a
mm Ellen had a case where the kingdom
bottle goes away and he was friendly to
King David he was friendly governor
mother had sent his family there for
protection from control and when the
King died Thorne another sent a few of
his messages to control a ship apart to
know the prince of the messengers came
the Prince of Amon was told by his
advisors don't be fooled for a minute
King David did not send these people
here though they came here because they
want to spy out to live the king that
angry and angry he told the comments of
the messages he shaved off if he sent
them back humiliated okay King David is
a leader not a follower he begged says
that's what you do to my people
humiliating them he didn't hurt them he
just humiliated him you waited said
co-op with the army and he wiped out the
Hama
once enough you know you really ain't my
people I'm a leader I protect my people
that's a leader those are the troops are
Nikken all through the generations there
be Activa rocky they searched all that
Sonny came throughout the generation are
our leaders we have to have faith and
then what they taught in order to be
able to have true faith but they're the
ones who teach us what the Torah is all
about that manual and the other ones of
teachers for Hashem is all that says
what blossom impressive
that's what finding good
but there's another leg to faith another
leg that we must have and if you don't
have that leg the other three legs won't
take much plate it won't be too much in
your life what leg is that faith in
yourself
you must have faith in yourself you are
if the world created by him I shall
place you in this world huh Sharon Julie
here because he wants you if he didn't
want you go to bed right
so Hutchins put faith in us and he wants
us to have faith in ourselves to realize
that we are important we have this a
place of use in our minds we have a
place of importance in the Jewish nation
each and every one of us has something
to contribute to somebody else you want
to BFF you have to be at BFF yourself
right I think you should acronym so okay
well whatever it is right you want to be
a good friend you want to communicate
you want to be able to accomplish to get
your work done to do what you have to do
you have to have the faith that you are
capable of it and I share gave you the
tools that you need what your friend has
well that's his mission or homage right
that's what the other people have to the
food tools and I had the feelings that I
had the intellect that I had the
knowledge that I have I have to believe
it's with me is for me to build a better
life for myself and you ever notice that
when you turn on the heat and now
it radiates heat so too when you turn on
the heat in your own heart you turn on
that heat that belief that you have one
offer it radiates outwards and it
affects the people around you to to a
child right or as the saying goes the
seventeen-year-old says the 22 year old
says when I was 17 I couldn't believe
how foolish my father was I couldn't
believe it
now that I'm 22 I can't imagine I can't
understand how much my father learned in
the last part is it's something belief
of the standing rigging analyst the
knowledge that I only have the
understanding that I have at this point
in my life you had a life before the
things before
did you ever make a mistake is there
anyone here never made a mistake right I
think I did once in 1986 but I was wrong
never say of course we do all have
things that we do wrong so what
everybody makes mistakes
I'm not different than anybody else if
that's the case let me get on with my
life
let me go forward in life I believe I
could do whatever it is that I can go
there be napkin said if you believe that
you could spoil believe that you could
appear in my Commandments you know you
look out there Tommy
she is a little tyke hey Dawson takes
ahold of this and says imagine you did
something wrong so you felt that you
damaged something right now if you do
something
it's a relationship it's a you cooked a
nice dish but it didn't come out right
right or it's a business deal nice you
did something you believe it was
sandwich damaged books right
but you believe it's damage if you
believe it sandwich you have already
belief residing inside your heart and if
you had that belief residing inside you
then believe also that you could rectify
anything that went wrong in your life
right the governor goes so far to say
murakumo versus the person doesn't have
a room he sins
intentionally so when he does Juba he
says a sham I'm sorry all the sins that
he did intentionally are now considered
as if he did an accidental sit there was
a numbers he has elevated that sin that
intentions in to make it something that
Islam was an accident
I made him say all right but then the
camera goes further and the governor
says whoever does true ver may Allah
whoever repents out of love for a sham
then the sins that he did are now
transformed into missus so her constant
a trace if a person was Mohamed Shabbos
the person was out there with drugs
alcohol adultery idolatry burden
anything that the person did wrong in
their life if you take yourself and say
Hashem I love you communicate they don't
become love automatically my mother told
me when I got married you seek your love
says it takes years to develop that
relationship what true love really is so
we saw today we say action I'm here I
love you and I want to serve you I want
to do the right thing
and if I'm not really fully behind what
I said I will be it may take a few days
a few weeks a few years but eventually
I'll come down to sin that I really love
Hashem and then everything I did wrong
in my life till now has now become a
mitzvah imagine imagine how powerful you
are you can only do that if you believe
in yourself yeah Shem held that we come
to believe in Hashem in the third it's a
deacon and in ourselves we learn to
communicate with her to be joyous we
learn to appreciate all the things that
happen to us all the little things and
the little things become one big picture
of unhappiness enjoy their sham bless
you all
now you all married to a joyous life a
great life a happy life and we're all
married to see the coming of Messiah
build into the face of meet us and he
came gathering of all the exiles yeah
