The LandedEagle Podcast: Interview with Rabbi Baruch Gartner, Author of Living Aligned

[Music] for hi my name is comman walock welcome to the common Nation landed Eagle podcast I'm here today with Rabbi bar Gartner and he's just flown in gotten off the airplane from Jerusalem how are you Rabbi I'm excited to be here first stop first stop on a world world tour Shing the light and teachings of the Colo that you started in Jerusalem tell us a little bit about that Rabbi well common I want you to tell me because you were one of our guests we are unique and you were one of our guests I want I want you to explain to them what we do I will be very glad to do that I was a guest of the rabbi invited me to come study with his his group his Think Tank his cabala think tank is where he has a group of 36 righteous Souls who wake up in the middle of the night it is called the the middle of the night uh Colo so they learn from approximately 2 in the morning until morning prayers 7:30 it's the only place that I have ever visited the only Colo that I've ever learned in where when you begin to dve in shakas when you begin to dve in the morning prayers with the scholars that have spent the night studying there is an energy and a spirit and a and a joy that that transmits it comes through the learning as if it was as if you're dancing on S Tor you want to know why yes most people when they go to sleep the first thing you want to do the major thing they want to do is forget about their problems the last thing they want to do is wake up in the middle of the night and think about something that's bothering them what if the thing that's bothering them was from the past like thousands of years before they even were born and they said you know what we're going to give you reward in the world to come we're going to give you Joy in the world to come who would who want to wake up in the middle of the night to think about problems that aren't even theirs for some kind of future Joy May akman explains that it's not about the past it's about what's going on right now we don't want to hold back Messiah we want to take responsibility so it's about the present and the joy is felt literally in the same night that's the joy you feel and that's why I invite people because I want people to experience what it really means we're not wallowing in the past for some future reward we are experiencing it in the present and that's really the secret of mhia and that's what we're here to talk about how what's going on right now is is the war before the gray peace and then this is uh I can attest myself to the to the tremendous level of joy and I remember saying to you after we finished is it like this all the time or you guys just did this for me and you said every morning you know it's an interesting thing and I tell my guys this according to the zor hundreds of times in the zor Z brings the verse from shim where the sikim sayh an I want to hear your voice I say we are perpetually playing a play for the higher realm Hashem and the sadik in the high world are listening to our prayers and we we are we're actors but we do it every single day beautiful every single night I encourage all of our listeners to make the trip when you're in Jerusalem and we'll plug the uh C here you'll see a link at the end of the podcast Rabbi if you could just I think today the the the change of Consciousness that's happened not only in the world but also with the Jewish people one of the things we've seen with a lot of the um people that we work with the landed Eagle is sort of there's almost been a a Redemptive Messianic change um I have friends that were let's say just sort of going through life plugging along doing their thing and uh this there was a wakeup call on October 7th guys that I know have gotten married now guys that I know have moved to Israel guys that I know have made really just you changes you never expect can you talk a little bit about what's going on I hope that I can uh try and understand I I don't I don't want to talk about what other people talk about I believe that uh a lot of what we think is going on comes from the media and I really don't give a lot of credit to the media I think they have their own agenda and I think that the real reality is the Torah one of the images that I want to uh bring out I think almost everybody I talked to has seen this image of this rainbow flag with these rainbow people behind it and on it says I'm sorry to say queers for Palestine how do we get to such a ludicrous situation where you have the ultr left woke World supporting bloodthirsty terrorists right and even to say the absurdity uh today if a Jew takes a wrong term in Israel and finds himself in in one of these cities his life is is in danger if a if someone who's openly professing homosexuality I mean I think the it's the death penalty yeah so that's what we're talking about is the SE chain but uh I like to say like this people think this is anti-Semitism this is the war against the Jews no this is the war against Mankind and we're coming to a threshold and like you said maybe it's Messianic but it appears to many people that these two movements of the ultra left and the ultra right are relatively new but really this what I call war on mankind started a long long time ago how long ago day one of creation please explain they went a creation being the creation of the world creation of man the snake who enticed Adam and Eve what was his motivation what was he hoping to do why did he entice man was that his job so when Hashem created man he created man in his likeness and His Image he stamped in man a very very Loft the attributes specifically the attribute of speech and the attribute of knowing god do these two attributes was what G gave man his ability to lead the world Das meaning like knowled Consciousness consciousness of God specifically conscious that the world was created by I like to say the it's the wisdom of unity the wisdom to see the big picture recognize that every part of the creation including the animals including all of the wealth of the world all has a purpose when it's connected to Hashem on the other hand the snake the malim says the snake was just basically giving Adam a piece of his mind cabalistic calls the snake the the forehead of the snake the forehead of the snake snake this is a cabalistic term it represents the highest Lev level of unur anti-g goodliness in the world and he said a very interesting thing says you you could be like God and that's like her heretic he said God is just like any other Craftman he ate from the tree and created the world he's afraid of you you should eat from the tree now what was the motivation of the snake the snake basically was motivated by survival he was afraid he didn't want to become subservient to Adam he didn't want to become sub subservient to God and therefore he's left in the world of being cursed whereas Adam if he would have listened to God he would have been the ultimate ultimate blessing in the world and therefore he was told by Hashem on the first day of Christian be fruitful and multiply I got your back don't worry now these forces from day one have been put into place if a person gives himself over to the direction of Hashem and he follows the Divine will he's blessed especially when it comes to having children you know one of the most listened to classes ever is the five levels of pleasure by rber he opens up T he opens up with the following words what's your biggest pleasure your kids what's your biggest pain your kids how many kids you got oh you got five great why' you stop with five too much pleasure or too much pain very nice I can testify especially from living where I do that the happiest people in the world are the people that listen to to the divine plan whereas what's going on in the world today is what I call the war against mankind we're talking here about a philosophy that does not believe that the world can sustain people when the snake gave a piece of his mind a snake head to Adam and Eve Hashem asked Eve what happened Eve so she said the snake trick me in Hebrew he tricked me say don't read it he married meal say he spewed Eve with filth a defilement and this filth according to the Deep secrets of cabala is basically this physicality this mixed up inability to let the higher self rule the person when Hava Eve had two children Cain and Abel so there was a quarrel over who's going to divy up the world how we're going to Dev up the world and that's how one brother kills another brother and it says clearly the Bloods of your brother is screaming from the ground Rashi says why do it say plural Bloods two explanations one is he didn't know how to kill him this was the first killing he had to hit him in multiple places and get a lot of blood until he figured out where was the place that would kill a person the second was not just your brother's blood you spilled but all of the offspring that would come from your brother this is the beginning so day one this this is the first killing this is blood and after the flood it's very interesting once again Hashem gives another time a commandment to be fruitful and multiply why does it say another time it already said be fruitful and multiply Rashi explains that no did not want to have children after the flood why it was a climate disaster who we can't trust God Hashem says no don't worry you found favor in my eyes I'm not going to destroy the world anymore have more children what did his son Ham do he emasculated his father Rashi says why Adam had two children and they fought over the inheritance of the world my father had three and he wants to bring a fourth now off with him we're going to emask IM masculate we're talking here about a war against man now if you think that women don't have anything to do with this believe me this is an idea that women have to understand because I I love to say my wife made me a man women the the the Mitzvah of bringing children in the world is an all inclusive Mitzvah it is the inner will of God it's the highest desire of hem that the world be full of conscious people compassionate people people who understand God and live accordingly when the world come to this level the world becomes Utopia when the world is afraid of God and afraid of climate change the world becomes cursed so you could choose that's what happens now it goes on because after the flood there were personalities spe specifically Nimrod Nimrod his name means he made a rebellion against God and he was the one that instigated the Tower of babyon which sounds very nice everybody's on the same page they were on the same page to make a rebellion against God they were literally gonna climb up and make a war against him it says specifically about nimr and Rashi that he knew how to entice people with his speech the same thing with Asa he knew how to entice his father with his speech instead of using speech to educate people and to infuse the world with knowledge of God and how it's all interconnected and it all works when we listen to the Divine directives instead of that he enticed people to rebel against God so this is the idea of the dos and the deore the conscious God and this using our speech because that that is what separates us from all of creation is a simply essentially the ability to think to connect spiritually right and to understand or Infuse our animal Natures with Holiness so we talking about P being fruitful and multiply we're not talking about being fruitful and multiply without Thea without kadu without being married without and obviously that we're talking here about creating a home of Harmony that creates children that are not messed up but but rather infused with the right values that every generation gets better and better we we have the capability now of feeding the whole world easily can you imagine if we would instead of shedding Blood start using our resources to create a beautiful world the biggest business in the whole entire world is arms is killing people and there are people who are afraid of climate and afraid of population and therefore they have devised a way to run the world in a way that works for them and it has nothing to do with life it's the exact opposite it has all to do with not having children and that's where the gay movement comes in and it also has to do with terrorists who basically live to die we are to this day being infested with this Snak head idea that the economy the ecology does not have the capability of paying the tuition for our kids to go to school and it's wrong because Hashem says I got your back I got your back I want to bring it uh to a level of what I would consider the the why the Jews question to be a Jew in the world today why why why is this happening of course no one knows that I was on the airplane flying up last week and I'm sitting next to an investment banker fairly successful businessman and we started uh shmooing and he he heard me uh raging about this tweets that Elon Musk had sent out the wealthiest man in the world has started to tweet very problematic things uh the left is trying to hold him up as an anti-sm right the right is the Jewish right is trying to justify his tweets and so the guy sitting next week said I heard you screaming about Elon Musk and being worried about him he says and this is a guy was turn he's a Catholic we talked for a while he says my wife and I are scratching our heads we don't understand and he said it perfectly innocently he's like my wife said I don't understand they all control the media why don't they just shut this off you guys control the media why why don't you just stop it and of course I real realiz these anti-semitic tropes these these the there is a seems to be the non-jews have a fear of us they feel like we're too powerful and this is sort of the the Eternal feeling that we are somehow a threat to them and that is what's I think woken up and October 7th was a pagram in real time that flashed all through the world it seems like the Gentile Nations have a smell of our blood and they're all raging right I really believe that um if we look in the Torah and we look in history and stop looking at the the news but rather uh come up with what's really going on like I said before because they want you to forget about the Torah and forget about history they want you to be mixed up and therefore that's what happens when a person can't figure out is Elon for us or against us is Candice for us or against us is Ben Shapiro right or wrong well guess what the enemy is so smart and he's always been smart he doesn't even you don't even know who your enemy is while you're being mixed up he's got his hand in your back pocket he's subversively mixing your brain up keeping you away from the ultimate goal therefore if we really want to capitalize on what's going on which means basically to help bring Messiah into the world then we are going to have to exercise messia teachings even before Messiah comes and you say how's that possible how do we do what Messiah is going to tell us to do he's not even here well we know a lot about mssiah mess is called SAR Shalom the minister of Peace you know why the savior of the Christians we don't hold that he's the Messiah because he's did not bring peace to the world that's the bottom line Messi is a man of Peace according to rabman the Messi will conquered the whole world with prayer not one shot will be fired we got to get it into our head just because we love Israel and we love our soldiers but we're not necessarily aligned with the government I'm sorry the government is not a government of sages and there have been mistakes made in the past and we have to figure out what we're going to do about it and I totally agree that we have to protect ourselves and sometimes that means even preempting but at the same time we want peace and therefore according to what I understand each and every individual has to search for his inner peace because that is one go about doing that today so one of my favorite teachings rabman is a teaching that begins with the whole world is full of strife and RAB nak equates the wars between the nations of the world to the wars that are going on inside each and every country to the wars that are going on in each and every neighborhood to the wars that are going going inside everybody's house and guess what then he says something very profound inside of every single one of us is all of the wars of the world every single person in our own Consciousness in our own each person has and then he says something crazy he says if you were to sit alone in the forest you could go crazy but when you're among people since you're playing a role you're easily unaware of the inner conflict you just kind of like take a side and and fight with everybody but all of these fights keep a person away from the purpose of life which is inner peace which is closeness to God which could be achieved in one day if a person was serious about it and recognized that he's got to let the Strife push him to peace now a very interesting thing RAB nman is the most biggest proponent of being alone in the forest and praying to hasem and if you can't go the forest do it underneath your covers but talk to God every day how could rabman say if a person was alone he could go crazy seems to be a contradiction so I think he means to say like this the beginning of inner peace is to recognize that the war is not outside that war that's outside is also inside of you and the first step to Inner Peace is to recognize that I inside of me is chaos and the chaos pushes a person to search for his own inner mashiach Messiah what does that mean his own inner Messiah a person every sing reab teaches that every single person this is the secret of the first words that Hashem said to the first Jew Abraham go to yourself I know that you're a successful businessman I know that you're a successful Rabbi Abraham but I want more I want you to keep keep going I want you to keep going toward what to towards your true Essence that is the soul the the portion of God that's inside of you that's the man of Peace that's inside of every person unfortunately our souls are so humble like God that they're willing to take a back seat until the chaos gets so great like a house full of dysfunctional kids that are looking over their shoulder when are the parents going to get their act together together and read a couple of books or go to a class on how to raise us until we get the message and say we need to make order here we need to reveal to ourselves the real leader which is like we said before through wisdom of unity see the big picture each person's a big picture the parts of you that are chaos are also parts of you they need to be aligned and therefore a person needs to learn the art of this self-management which rabman calls hisus so it's his buus in the beginning that reveals the chaos but it's a process that's like the war before the peace so his SP to do the idea of conversing with God in a in a in a in a direct and intimate way through words uh through solitary reflection whether it's in the middle of the night or uh ideally that becomes the the the vehicle for connection or for true relationship it sounds like in in theory and I I think everybody has has to experiment for themselves but as far as I understand it's not easy especially in the state that we are today you know I don't know if you remember how we met but uh a lot of people on need guidance and sometimes people need a little bit of guidance in helping them navigate through their which brings me to your amazing book which is part of the reason we we we did get connected aligned which is a book all about how to attain that alignment right in life basically right it's uh every successful Journey Begins with good navigation our life's journey is no different living aligned gives you the tools you need need to live with greater Vitality connection and joy basically from the cabalistic andic thought yes tells a little bit about this uh actually since we're we're now talking about um our star of the para is Yakov in his trials and tribulations with his dear brother asov and his father-in-law Lovin these people were were difficult and uh the trick of Yakov the the Mastery of Yakov was specifically that Yakov was capable of doing what Adam couldn't do Adam was as I said before this the root of his soul he was here to rectify what Adam messed up so what happened with Adam he was faced with the choice to either eat from the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil or just like hang out by the Tree of Life Adam say the tree of life is very boring you know it's like not exciting the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil is very exciting it's obvious that God created it it must it must be uh put into use let's go for it Adam jumped a gun really if he would have waited he would have been able to navigate and to eat from the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil what did yak to before he went out even though he put on the clothes of asov which basically means the man who was created to be a rabbi now is going to go out into the world and work for 20 years but what did he do before he went out to work he buried himself in Yeshiva for 14 years specifically I just want to say it says that he slept in that place why did he sleep in that place to tell you for 14 years he didn't sleep at night why why didn't you sleep at night you can learn Torah during the day the essential time of acquiring Torah is at night specifically but for 14 years he immersed himself in order to be able to navigate in the world he aligned himself and this alignment is something that a person has to do hopefully before he gets marry and to recharge his battery every day by setting aside time to pray and learn before he goes out to work it's what it means to align if you want to be effective if you want to be efficient if you want to be able to not be bogged down by the physical world but to elevate it you have to align yourself in the morning whether it's through prayer or learning Rabbi can I ask you how has your life changed in response to this this this this change of Consciousness after October 7th besides being called called out an anti-Semitic and being attacked when you arrived I love the question because um I consider what happened on October 7th uh a tragedy and the beginning of a big problem the anti-Semitism but I always like to say that problems are opportunities and we should not ever ignore a problem because we're an opportunity we also shouldn't react to a problem we have to respond I say all the time to the guys in in my Coler we are at War and we have to turn up the volume we have to be more serious there are people and I know I'm here for a wedding for Ain that volunteer coming from almost getting married married got on a plane and he was in Lebanon for 3 weeks before he decided he had to go home and get married I'm here for that wedding I'm here for that wedding I said to our guys we're praying for a guy who's in levanon we have to be serious we have to recognize that if we believe that the power of the Jewish people are with their speech their Torah and their we're the essential weapon and so therefore I'm doing everything I can to increase and thank you common we have increased the amount of people learning and we're trying to turn up the volume whether it's raising our voice raising our intensity we do extra prayers and um I I telling people that we're at the birth Pains of mssiah and we should be serious about it we're being faked out we're we're following Elon we're following Tucker we're following people uh Jordan Peterson Andrew Tate you know let's end with this idea it's a very interesting thing you know uh so we we know the world's getting really crazy and a lot a lot of people are super liberal to the point where it's so in to be liberal you know it's like beyond belief the White House so there have been certain Personalities in the world who came to the rescue of poor man to save masculinity and they're trying to give advice of how a person can clean up his room and get the girls and the money and the cars at the same time mhm well I wouldn't follow their advice I think that it's a fake out I choose to follow I believe one of the guys you're referring to and I also believe he's a problem there's an energy that he's Prof passing of the world and I think he just declared his his loyalty to Allah and is right I prefer I prefer not to mention names uh because I don't think that uh a person who has Freedom of Choice should choose to follow people who don't have a message that's time tested I prefer to follow Moshe rabeno our prophets and particularly I'm a very big fan of rabman and when RAB man gave one of his famous discourses he was sitting on his chair and he rocked back and forth on his chair like this with great fervor great intensity and he said when is a man a man when is a man a man when he sits on his chair what did he mean he quoted the first verses fromzel which is talking about the Chariot of God the throne of God and he said above the throne there was an image of a man and when a man is a man he sits on his throne what's the secret here there's an idea that the king is the ultimate man and the king in for in order for his throne to be established he has to be careful to not have too much of three things one is money another is horses and the other is wives these three things are the acronym is s which is cars s Olive is is when a man rules over these things instead of being manipulated by these things but he rules over them then he sits on his throne when a man is a man he becomes the most important part of creation he fulfills God's key say and then it is as if he's sitting on the throne with Hashem and this will go back right to the beginning when the snake enticed man said you could be like God guess what there's a general rule if you tell a lie there's got to be some truth to it we are like God with our words we are partners with God and we are literally constantly creating the world together with God their words of wisdom I need a I need a I'm a je and I'm proud and I sing it out loud cuz forever and ever that's what I'll be I'm a je and I'm proud and without a doubt I sh is always watching over me
