thank you for the
copies today's class is dedicated by
anat
bravman to increase a is and to
strengthen the spiritual and physical
safety of our Jewish people amen thank
you thank you very very much anat we
truly appreciate it and amain on your
blessings for all of
us so last class we began the new
M that was said by
the the 11th of niss
1974 a few days before p and it began on
the passage of the which is a miss
that in every generation one ought to
see themselves as they left Egypt and he
explained that even though the that this
is an obligation for the 15th of niss
for p in Al adds and explains that
really it refers to not just a but
really every
day as he adds in chapter 47 of
T and this
is
consistent with the mishna that tells us
that you have to mention every day and
not just by day also by night and not
just in this world but
even as we also say in the and that
means
that is experienced on four levels
there's the original that happened in
the year 2448 since creation when the
Jewish people left
Egypt that's number one there the that
we commemorate since then every year on
the anniversary
and that's with
with we experience every single day even
though we don't have the physical mat
but it's with the spiritual mat and then
there that we experience when comes
which that's a because the Revelation
then will be so intense the says that
the Wonders then will be wondrous even
relative to it will be astonishing even
relative to the extraordinary wonders of
still there's a to mention mentioning
doesn't just mean mentioning like why
not remembering is something that you
internalize it affects you it impacts
you it adds something it creates an it
creates
a an an effect it has an impact on the
soul so in order to explain all of this
he began explaining what is literally
means Egypt but like every word Ines it
has a meaning it's not just the
geographical place that it's called and
the word means which means restrictions
when a person is in a state
of when a person is in a restricted
State the person is uh is in a place
of I'm
confined I'm so to speak stuck stuck in
a box or in a structure that keeps me
put and the person doesn't feel the
ability to emancipate themselves from it
that's the definition of
MIT this can exist on so many different
levels says but where it begins is where
does it begin it begins in what we call
theim
theim the first simum that discusses as
a prerequisite for all of existence for
all of creation or as the G puts it
first came darkness and then
light first the goats then the Sheep
that Darkness what is it that darkness
is the darkness of
Tsum because Tsum represents
the
the the the truth that the universe is
is is built it's predicated on the
perception that there is a vacuum a a
vacuum and empty space that is devoid of
an of
infinity Infinity is the antithesis of
MIT MIT is when the person suddenly
finds themselves in a space of
restrictions I'm
confined the person's energy or
creativity or soul is
obstructed The First beginning of that
on the highest highest highest level is
the the create the
first even though there you're talking
about it's not MIT down here but that's
the origin of M after many many Evol
after a long evolutionary process
called lower and lower and lower and
lower and lower where the energy gets
restricted and filtered and condensed
and limited more and more It ultimately
results in stronger limits until you
have down here until you have the
physical
MIT
and the same is true in each person's
life and what this teaches us is one of
the things that teaches us is when a
person looks at their own
MIT and everyone has everyone is a MIT
in one way or another whatever that
means in a person's life there's those
things that we need Liberation
from it doesn't begin with the MIT I'm
looking at it begins with a much deeper
and more subtle MIT that is the origin
of the MIT I'm living in the he says
like said how is it possible this
explains how can there be a concept of
MIT and it doesn't begin with par it
begins with a in
Holiness because everything begins in
kadus and then the Distortion in kadus
or at least the appearing Distortion
results in the actual MIT so in every
person's life I'm looking at
a it's more than what looking at and why
is that important because you don't want
to you don't only want to deal with the
symptoms you want to deal with the
source of the symptoms because that's
how you really heal the symptoms if I
can go back to the origin of the MIT and
you see it in a person's life you know
sometimes a person lives in this whole
world but it's really based on a thought
that they experienced at some point in
their life but that thought went in deep
and now you know my whole my whole life
is based on that thought
and that thought was a thought of MIM
that thought was the thought that I am
detached from
in I'm separate I'm broken I'm
alone and there is a reason why how that
MIT came into my head and that's what I
need to be able to nip in the bud that's
what I need to challenge cuz all the
other mits are just you know the domino
effect it may be you know the do Domino
number a thousand you know it really it
really you know it it uh what's the word
it followed its
course but it goes back to that that
simp
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah very
good
yeah and it also means that even in the
highest level there's still a MIM a
person is facing because MIM is at the
beginning of existence in other words to
live means to confront MIT it's not like
you know I'm this uh I'm this crazy guy
who's dealing with stuff no to be alive
to exist means that you're confronting
adversity birth birth is a declaration
that yeah birth is a Tsum and the birth
of existence is
AUM so to confront existence to live to
fully live means to face theim Tsum to
look at the Tsum and when I look at
it I can I I face that adversity the
beginning of adversity is the Tsum even
though it's a very lofty form of
adversity
obviously but every person even on the
highest spiritual levels faces that
that's the beginning of on this we
say the world exists in our heart so
when a person makes that shift inside
themselves it has a ripple effect in the
world and it has a ripple effect on all
the
worlds so when a person finds in
themselves the
Courage the resilience and the awareness
to be able to transcend their own
simp this has the ripple effect of
healing the Tsum because what was the
purpose of Tsum the purpose wasn't to
restrict the purpose is g to go out of M
to be
redeemed but now the Redemption is much
deeper because it transforms the MIT as
well before there was aim Tsum there was
no Tsum there was nothing else there was
no otherness there was no limit
once there's AUM it's not just we go
back out of the tum we go back to
preimum something much deeper is
accomplished and that is that the Tsum
itself is
transformed this begins within a
person's own life and that's why we're
saying is from the
word is the ability of a person to know
that anything that defines
me the word definition the word
limitation is already
something that doesn't capture the truth
of who you
are in other words the soul yearns for a
love
that's that's it it's it it that's its
natural DNA its natural DNA is that it's
purely
infinite it came into a place of Tsum
but it's not a product of it
open yourself up not just to your heart
and to your soul but to your and as he
puts it
practically I don't live based on
calculations that a world makes for me
that neighbors make for me that my
coping mechanisms make for me my animal
Consciousness makes for me or even the
intellectualism of my Divine
sell which are all different levels of
Tsum
and again you what paradigms do do I but
very often my life is a result of a
certain Paradigm and that paradig is
called MIT and that MIT I need to be
able to
challenge and this takes a lot of
Courage you know you have to ask
yourself what is my MIT what are the
paradigms what are the boxes that I'm
fitting
into when a person is living for example
with a lot of fear or a lot of guilt
just to give a practical example or a
lot of insecurity or a lot of anger or a
lot of
resentment or
disconnected it was born from somewhere
it's not the natural state of the
Soul even though it feels that this is
who I am you like me you know we some
people say this is who I am not who you
are to I became in order to survive I
don't know that there's anything out of
MIT yeah I was born a slave I'm not
blaming anybody Jews were born into
slavery and when said it's not your
place they couldn't listen
to they it was so hard to breathe and
they were working so hard it's like I'm
busy surviving don't talk to me about
leaving there's no such a thing you you
have time fine you're on vacation so we
want to talk about go you know some
people some people work for a
living but what does that mean but
that's what he's saying in every
person's life in every person's life
just to be able to see this is M no it's
not organic
it's not who you are it's maybe who I
became it's maybe who I think I am but
that thought itself is
MIT right this is who I am and this is
who I think I am and who I am is a
result of who I think I am because every
existence is a result of inner processes
that cause it every emotion there's a
thought there's no emotion without a
thought there's a thought there always a
thought
there I may not see the thought right
it's very hidden I just feel I'm angry
at you I'm just angry at you or whoever
that person in your life is usually
somebody close but that anger is driven
by something by a Shame by by by a
thought by a a deep disappointment and
deep deep down there's a MIT I'm leaving
living in so when we say leave MIT every
day it's one of the most important
mitzvas what I left MIT yesterday it was
yesterday today there's also a and it
could be today's MIT is much more subtle
yesterday's Redemption becomes today's
Exile you know I peeled one layer of the
onion which is amazing but first of all
sometimes it comes back he got to do it
again until it really until your brain
really gets used to the fact that we're
not living in mitam anymore and
sometimes I'm actually confronting
something
deeper int
our always good question that's a good
question it sounds like an
impossibility that thought itself is a
product of
MIT so yeah yeah you're right you're
right it's an impossibility like what do
you
want what do what do you
want you ask me to start flying because
I'm a bird I'm not a bird I'm a human
being itself idea okay one day
everything's going to be it's idea it's
a process of course it's a process
possible right that that's really the
point if I if I approach it from a place
of ego which is the biggest
M then it's like this is impossible it's
like you know it's like tomorrow you're
being transformed if I if I if I
approach it with a process of
authenticity of
vulnerability then it's a privilege it's
an opportunity it's an invitation it's
not like now I'm going to leave MIT
alsoo you know like I'm going to take
control of Liberation too Liberation
means I'm not going to take control I'm
actually going to let
go you get what I'm saying yeah it's not
like okay it's on my to-do list you know
I'm I'm leaving all MIT get get it off
your to-do list the to-do list is the
source of all the problems I'm going to
control this process also I'm not going
to control anything the need to
control is a product of being in MIT a
slave needs to control everything cuz
only way to achieve something you want
to achieve something you need to have
goals
how to do it and then follow that's true
to achieve anything we need goals we
need tasks but the approach to it can be
in two ways one is with a sense
of
control you're control if you're not
control well I'm talking about control
in the sense that I have to control the
outcomes I have to control the results I
have to control the people around me I
have to control what's coming up
I'm not sensitive to the
journey the journey itself is essential
to the is part of the
destination it is the destination of
many ways but it continues yeah it's
there's a destination there's another
destination we have it even in work even
in work you know if a boss is trying to
control the employees rather than
realize we're on a jury together
bringing out the best in each
other and of course yeah I want to look
at the results you know you want to make
money you want to have checks and
balances you want
responsibility but the environment is
one that's not manipulative it's not
even manipulative of
myself you understand what I'm saying I
don't I'm not here to exploit anybody
I'm not here to exploit
myself it's be it's it's it's being a
channel it's dangerous if if
if I become naive and and and vulnerable
and surrender to other people's
manipulation but it's not dangerous if a
person is in control of that that I
don't I I don't need to control outcomes
in the sense that I can't control
outcomes I could show up the way I could
show up with the best version of myself
and and help other people do
that and that itself is the greatest
success and then there's a Serenity
there
you're thinking that you you've dealt
with sharks who are
aggressive yeah I to
focus focused in a way you are in charge
of your vision and Mission so everybody
has to be
focused focus is very
good well in a way you exerting your
control to make everyone think in in a
certain way so I'm I'm exerting my I'm a
leader needs to exert their leadership
in order to be able to set an agenda and
help people see that agenda and be
inspired by that agenda that's that's
the
powerful but deep deep down I have to be
able to do that in a way that in my
deepest self I'm not trying to control
cuz if I am I become a very deep slave
not
you wake up every day say so that's it
so when I could stand in a place of
gratitude in a place of gratitude and
humility then it's a different type of
leadership that's a good question that's
a good question it's probably hard in
order you're asking can we go out of MIT
if we can't identify what it is I think
we probably have to identify what it is
cuz if I can't identify what it is how
do I know what to leave think about it
geographically if I don't know where
Egypt is how can I leave
Egypt follow huh follow okay if M says
that's that's
true sometimes you have a person in life
M says we're going and you follow him
right you could have that
trust
like you know that mha has your back and
he wants you out of
MIT but on some level in each of Our
Lives I need some awareness you know
this is this is where I'm getting stuck
CU if I don't do that if I don't have
any of that awareness I don't even have
telling me what's so then I could start
calling Exile becomes Redemption I don't
know the difference anymore I'm so used
to it there's nothing else this is the
only thing I know
so when a person realizes that the Tsum
in their own life is not the destination
it's a journey their soul is essentially
liberated from it
that's and and and and as he puts it
here it's not number one is that my soul
is not stuck in the Tsum number two is
the Tsum that was given to me was given
to me in order to transform
it
it's not just you're not affected by it
it was given to you to transform and the
transformation begins
inside and the transformation inside
affects it on every single on every
single level and that's what he said and
this was the last point we
made that uh the B teaches right that
the world is created every moment and
recreated every moment the ultimate
vision
of
that the mouth of Hashem speaks which
means everything is being spoken into
existence every moment so the ultimate
chemistry of every created being is the
Divine energy
the so then he says when a person starts
living with that Paradigm with that
State of
Consciousness now I don't see the world
as a limited place just as a place of
Tsum rather I see as he puts it the P
Hashem that creates the
limitation you see that the limitation
itself is a creation by Hashem if the
limitation itself was a creation by
hasem it's not an ultimate limitation
it's an expression of
infinity if I see the limitation as
something separate as something
self-contained or to put it simply I see
my obstacles or my jails or my blind
spots or or whatever stuckness I'm
dealing with I see it as a
self-contained reality that has its own
power then it's powerful I'm
stuck but if I could see the P
hasem just list the physical world
everything is limited but the
limitedness is only an issue of
perception because it's a Divine
limitation if it's a Divine limitation
it's really an infinite
limitation and you see this in science
and physics the more science and physics
progresses the more we see that whatever
we thought was limited and defined and
in a box really if you go to a deeper
level you'll see that it's infinite the
whole the whole field called quantum
mechanics which is aish of Our
Generation and some of the greatest
scientists disagreed with it Einstein
famously said God doesn't play dice with
the universe and he he adamantly argued
with some of the basics of quantum
mechanics because it's freaky to put it
simply basically shows you you know we
we thought you know we have control
there's predictable pattern and at some
point you see there's so much Paradox
subatomic particles move clockwise and
counterclockwise simultaneously which
doesn't make sense there something
called Schrodinger cat the cat is dead
and alive simultaneously light is a
particle and a wave which is a paradox
and it's both and it happens
together nothing even has a particular
space it's only a probability in other
words the deeper you go into limits you
suddenly touch something that's not
limited like M it says about the Arin it
had a measurement and it didn't have a
measurement
simultaneously when everybody learned
the it looks like okay you know another
statement in gamar but today essentially
we know the gar is saying about the Arin
is just the truth about every single
creation by the Arin it came out even in
the Surface by the AR in quantum
physics was not Quantum anymore you
understand it's
a there was a place but didn't have a
what what's my point my point is the
deeper you go into the limits everything
in the world is limited it has a med it
has it has properties it has its
chemistry if you go deeper to the pem
it's a Divine limitation it's Infinity
expressed the
limitation and whenever Infinity is
expressed in limitation limitation is
not an authentic ultimate limitation
it's just the way Infinity is expressed
he says
that's a person realizes that every
limit in my life is really Infinity
expressing itself that way so then it's
just an opportunity to bring out your
own infinite
greatness now it's hard because the
limit doesn't say this the limit says
you're limited you're limited you're
limited you're limited this is
impossible impossible
impossible
impossible there's an old anecdote that
a teacher once ask the students to
describe what they would like to be when
they get older and everybody should
write it on a paper so one boy wrote he
wants to be a policeman another boy
wrote he wants to be a fireman a fireman
he wants to run the fire department and
one of person wanted to be a soldier
another person you know wants to be the
president of the United States though
today it's not such a compliment and
another person wants to do this and this
and a one girl wrote I want to be
possible so the teacher said what does
this mean so she said my mother always
tells me you're
impossible so one day I want to be
possible
there's a sadness to the story but
there's a truth to the story
right and that mother may sit inside of
me you know you're impossible you're
impossible you're impossible or this is
impossible this is impossible one day I
want to be possible I don't want to be
impossible that voice I'm impossible can
be a very powerful
MIT okay so now let's continue we're
holding per
do
the the the the the pag is b b they put
B because I guess shouldn't
be okay so the last the last line do you
see chapter
four this is also what it says
inim the P
says
very
famous speaks and he
says Kal in Hebrew like the word kala
kala means yearning
like my soul URS Pines
craves that's Kal the word kala is
connected to that in in yish it's called
seate ice there's a there's a very
profound I I search for you I for you I
Aspire for you so he
says is my body my flesh the flesh is
called is my heart so both my flesh and
my heart which represents my passion my
emotion color they yearn they desire
it's a strong it's called
color what is the rock is The Rock right
the rock thekite of my heart
and my lot in life my part in life
is forever what's describing here says
he's describing this was his experience
of the experience of is you realize what
you really are looking for in
life everybody's looking for something
I'm looking what what am I looking for
Life what am I
looking so very often because a person
is Passion right when when there's no
passion in life there's no life life is
Passion life is life life is Vitality
life there's a fire
burning what does that passion attach
itself to what is it attached to what am
I passionate
about am I passionate about my coping
mechanisms to make sure they survive in
other words am I passionate about
staying in MIT and I'll do whatever it
takes
or am I
passionate about living Who I Really Am
you're smiling because yeah as though
it's so easy right but this is really
this is
the sometimes all my creativity or much
of my is invested in making sure I stay
in Egypt and I'm smart so I do it
brilliantly that's what a brain does a
brain is very very smart everybody's B
brain is brilliant so my when I'm only
in touch with my NE with my animal
Consciousness the key is survival and
whatever it takes and it needs passion
too when a person has passion even in
things that are destructive addiction
and all these things and even not
addiction addiction addiction but
everyone in their own little passions
it's using my passion but it's enslaving
my passion to something that's not
leading me to my Promised Land we need
passion and something is going to give
me
passion but the question is where that
passion is coming from and that's what
is describing
here he's describing what's my passion
what's my what's my ch ch is desire
kilan is craving T is bliss it's
a it's the truth it's godliness it's
Oneness the word that he uses
is says
is the body the says and is the
soul it's not just something in the soul
it's also the body this is what the body
is looking for the body wants that Bliss
as they put it said spoke the was in
yish but usually it's written in Hebrew
but here they put it into
yish those who understand yish
appreciate the words right you know what
is h o is like
H right it's like an overflow like you
just like the soul melt like it melts
you know there's moments that your soul
just melts the body melts It could only
happen in safety if there's no safety
there can't be oos like I I'm not
melting
I'm going to retain my boundaries color
is like a real kala a real kala is about
safety right she can she can fully uh
let go exactly and I'm not going to let
go if a knife is coming in from the
other direction and what that knife
looks like we all know that's my MIT and
I'm I'm not going to let go I'm going to
be very very defensive and maybe my
entire life is going to be invested in
protecting those defense mechanism so
I'm extremely passionate what am I
passionate I'm passionate in making sure
that nobody gets into my
life and it's not about blaming you know
when we go into a blame game that's also
MIT you know MIT is very very clever
like it'll do whatever it needs to
survive py is very smart he needs to
keep you in Egypt you know what I mean
if if if one thing doesn't work
something else will work you know if one
security gate doesn't work we'll have
another security gate so at one of the
highest levels of
is guilt blame cuz that looks like
Redemption you
know somebody once said the definition
of a Jew is that if he doesn't feel
guilty he blames
himself I'm feeling so happy why am I
feeling happy it's not horrible it's
horrible how can I be happy you know
what's going on in the world you know
what's happening in Iran what are you
happy be miserable and you're going to
help the Jewish people that
way it it it looks very spiritual
I'm a bad person I blame myself look how
bad I am oh oh now I'm holy it's not
Holiness what happens the next time what
happens a few minutes later I'm probably
doing something destructive I'm blowing
up I'm getting angry I'm doing the wrong
thing it's not bringing out your
spiritual it's not bringing out your
creativity your love so we have to
understand where this passion is coming
from so now it's not about blaming
myself but it's about identifying my MIT
I'm not letting go I'm not going to let
go how can I let go the
the theem can only
come it's fascinating when you see toim
you see that had a place of
safety and it wasn't he didn't have
people he didn't find safety from a lot
of people because everybody tried to
kill him he says his mother abandoned
him his father abandoned him his
brothers abandoned him and then finally
he got married and his father-in-law
became his enemy and he was the king so
you know good luck with that
if you read toim and you understand what
it says you could see how he identifies
the lack of safety in the world but he
has a place of refuge and in that place
of Refuge he completely lets go and that
allows him to come back to the world so
to speak and deal with people in a
different way cuz he can deal with
himself in a different
way nobody can ultimately give me that
security we want other people to give it
to us we have to be able to find it in
ourselves there are those who were lucky
and they got it as a at a very young age
they got that safety they got that salad
foundation and then they could let
go because when they let go as a baby
and every baby lets go because every
baby's so vulnerable they got the
unconditional Embrace rather than the
opposite message but if I didn't get it
and unfortunately there's many people
who didn't get it we often develop an
entire coping mechanism based on
separation and loneliness and Brokenness
we don't know this but it comes out in
marriage usually where it reeks Havoc
because a person can't really
connect if I cannot be connected to
myself in that way I can't create that
connection with somebody else I can't
become a source of safety for somebody
if I'm not a source of safety for me you
know what do they say on the airlines
right put on your mask before you put on
anybody else before you put on your
children's mask if you're not breathing
if you're choking how you g give oxygen
to somebody
else so it's so important for the person
to be able to find that that
safety
huh within themselves
yeah that this oos this oos this
ability to let go this is the natural
need for connection real connection is
Letting Go connection is not like you
know you so that cartoon they have two
people in cages like a husband and a
wife in cages and they're looking away
from each other his back is facing her
back and inside these big bodies is a
little child and the two children are
looking at each other and like wanting
to connect you saw that it's a very uh I
think you sent it to me right it's two
adults in cages they're backs to each
other because they're in a fight I'm in
my cage you're in your cage but as
that's happening there's two little
children inside of their bodies and
they're looking at each other longingly
like you know let's just go play in the
sandbox let's just go play basketball
but the adults will know and it's it's
really it's really what happens you know
it's little children little little
children who are really looking for
safety and now but I'm 50 years old so
I'm not going to tell you I'm a little
child I have to be an adult so we
develop philosophies and mechanisms and
sophisticated patterns to be able to
maintain our MIT but really the little
child just wants to let go but I'm
afraid I'm
afraid you know fortunate is the adult
who can always be a little
child or at least can always listen to
the little child and can always watch it
so you could see that he's a child he
remains a child in the in in the most in
the most intelligent sense of the word
he always retains that innocence and
that Purity that the child
[Music]
needs you know in ancient world the
child was only seen as a h to become an
adult and even today it's like as a kid
he's a a baby like grow up so the first
10 15 20 years of your life is just to
grow
up says the opposite and today in the in
in in in in our world everyone is seeing
how true it is no no no it's the
opposite right it's the children where
every where with that that's the key
it's like the seed of the tree the adult
is essentially manifesting the child if
I was never a child I'll never become an
adult if I was a child I can actually
become an adult if I was never a child
I'm always going to be a child because
I'm looking to be a child it's only a
child who can be an adult when a child
is a child then you can actually grow up
cuz if growing up means I could really
connect I have to be a child I have to
have that safety that the child gets if
not I could be 60 years old but I'm
still 3 years old you know give me
attention give me attention whatever I'm
for my my my every person in their own
way so these are the words here it
says two words o is like you pour
yourself out and an oang is almost like
you expire there's a melting away
there's a letting letting
go in Hebrew means
craving and it also comes the
word it's like the Bliss
and the two are connected because real
Bliss is something that is overwhelming
you melt in
it
so says why why is
this see this is this is what how a
person experiences Hashem we always talk
about how people experience God what
does he experience hashm
what is my heart what is my strength is
a rock what is my heart what is the
strength of my heart and what is my part
in the world
that's meant all the truth the deepest
truth of a person the deepest love and
beauty and Grace in the world that is
what Hashem is and that's what I
want I don't want anything else
he adds the word it's not something
today I have it tomorrow it's lost he
was so anchored in this that this was
not changeable this was like his anchor
he did not go away from this
place in
his he
explains when a person gets in touch
with the the core of the Soul which is
one so then you you know this is what
you want this is who I
am when I'm not in touch with this then
my passion is looking to attach itself
to something and then there's many many
distractions that grab me away from it
but says I know exactly who I
am and
it's and everything else is is going to
be a
betrayal of my authentic self and
therefore I'm going to always need more
and more and more and more and more cuz
it's essentially pouring in water into a
a a bottomless pit like we spoke about a
cup that has a hole you know you could
pour and pour and pour but it's not
really what you're looking for so it's
not going to fill you the only thing
that really fills is true Deus with with
with truth with authenticity with
Oneness everything else may be powerful
and potent but it's a cover up it's a if
it's a anything that puts me
into whatever that means is ultimately
taking me away from reality it's instead
of seeing the tsim Tsum as a as a
catalyst as a springboard as the arena
in which I'm supposed to live and
transform it becomes my destination your
jail is not your destination you you're
there to break the shackles to break the
bars
then the Jew was called like the
[Music]
says interesting what the mag says here
what he's referring
to the
says that in the first
par it speaks
about in the second
part the second
says you should gather your own
grain says if people are going to go
work and gather their own grain
what's going to be with you learn and
other people will gather your grain asks
the it says you got to do it so the
say the second they're not doing H's
will the first par they are doing H's
will so the second part you have to
gather your grain ask the
second that's called not doing his will
you serve serving him with your heart
your soul you're loving him then you get
that's called so the says it doesn't
say doesn't say the first
says that's
called doesn't mean you're doing my will
you're not doing my
will here
means like it says you're making my
will means that I'm not fully aligned
with the
will why cuz there's missing what's the
idea the idea is until I don't get in
touch with my Infinity
that's is the viness the infinity I'm
not truly aligned with my own will which
is truly one with hm's Will in other
words it's still a state of even though
there is such there's such a profound
experience but it's missing the it's the
Infinity the Transcendence of Tsum that
is at the core of the
Soul
when says when
there then whatever something somebody
touches it in the world what they're
looking for is the truth of it the p
hasem in it everything in the world is
the mouth of Hashem speaking it into
existence I want to identify
that what does it mean identify it I
don't get stuck I don't get I don't fall
prey to the outer shell to the
encasement to the Clipper to the cover
in myself also in myself also I could
fall prey to the outer shell or I could
see the the inner energy of everything
the is the way it looks on the outside
the is the inner Divine energy that
creates it every moment that's what I'm
looking for and when I'm looking for
that I'm not distracted by anything so
when I'm looking for
what's my heart what's my what's my
what's my Bliss I'm not going to fall
prey to distractions that I anyway can't
say sh because it's not really what I'm
looking for the only thing that will
fill me up is the truth in every inion
the p and it's also in relationships
with people you know when I look at
somebody you look at your child for
example or you look at yourself you look
at your spouse you look at anybody you
could see what they look like on the
outside and you can get stuck in that
you look at this you say this you're
doing this you're dressed like this your
behavior is like this and I could live
in that space can you see the P can you
see the Divine energy that's vibrating
in this person if I'm not seeing it I'm
not really relating to you your external
self is triggering my external self how
can I connect to
you I can only connect to you if I can
go beyond the external self and see the
P yes I know it's easier said than done
because when we sit down to do it you
know there's all these triggers it's
called so happens it seems has to happen
every moment in life it's like a choice
I I sat down with you right now and I
have to choose is this going to be an
Egyptian relationship or is this going
to be a A Soulful
relationship you know is this going to
be like negotiating with
Egypt and everything that comes with it
geographically and existentially and
spiritually or we're going to go out of
if I'm in a cage and you're in a cage so
our cages connect I trigger you and you
trigger me and good luck you know and we
make believe we're talking we're not
even
talking my clip is talking to your clip
I'm not talking to you you're not
talking to me I'm trying to stay safe
you're trying to stay safe or we can
open that up you know let that go
that's is that ability in a moment's
call that he could melt he had what to
fall
into
sound of course that's the natural
that's always in yourself that's the
whole
idea happens in me happens in me I
cannot change any other person but when
I say I can't change another person it's
a lie I could change another person but
only one
way through me you know we say you can't
change anybody else you could change
yourself it's true but it's also a lie
of course you could change other people
but how not by changing them by changing
yourself you know life is a dance the
world is a dance we're all we're all in
a dance and when you you know if you're
dancing with somebody when you start
changing your position they also have to
change their
position you know what I mean so when my
dance starts changing the people around
me dance they their postures will also
their positions will also start moving
around so I can chess you know I make
the move you're now forced to make a
certain move I can't make you move
anywhere in I can't cause you to make a
move in chess but I could but only
through working on my pieces suddenly
there's a different dance in this game
and you don't want
Checkmate so that's that that's the idea
right that's says the world lives in my
[Music]
heart right before this he says in the
this is
all it's interesting that the was
explaining this because there's a Tak of
the B I don't know if all of you know
it's a beautiful Tak of the
B that uh at a birthday a person begins
saying the new capital to of the year
and every day they say that capital till
the next
birthday so for example if I'm becoming
50 so I begin my 501 year so
Capal when a person becomes 51 so I
begin my 52nd year Capital so so to
speak when a person is born I mean we
don't say till him when we're born right
but that would be the first
capital and then once I'm one year old
so now I finished Al now I begin my
second year is B and so forth a person
becomes Mitzvah you start cap this is of
the every day for a year yeah
yeah it's a very welln that everybody
does it it comes from the and some other
places I think it's really it's it's
also very beautiful on an emotional
level cuz every day when you're saying
it it's really you stop and it's
actually you're dedicating a capital to
yourself you know we're always saying
till them for everybody else saying tell
them for this one for this one you're
actually saying to hel and not because
there's a
desperate everything could be going well
it should everything should go well it's
really to honor to honor yourself like
honoring your age you know and also
reminds you every day how old you were
are which is not such a bad
thing you know no it it's it's
interesting like you know okay it's
another 3 months it's you know it's like
a good question like am I living this
age so I could go next year and become
you know if I'm not 50 when I'm 50 I
can't be 51 when I'm 51 if I'm not three
when I'm three I can't be four when I
have to be four then when I'm four I
still have to be
three sometimes when I'm 60 I still have
to be four years
old
huh how when you're
120 oh start Al Al so in addition to
that we say the divided in the month so
we go through the whole tillum just to
make up for for the
Youth it's a very nice Tak it's really
it's honoring your existence it's really
it's a beautiful
the is his birthday this is 1974 so he
started to
say giml so in the M he was explaining
the he didn't say it clearly but it's
it's
obvious so so what does it say
before it's an interesting thing St did
ever once told somebody
on that the has a very very early Source
why the gor says that Capital Al and B
from TM are considered like one so he
says if you go toim the end ofon B
what's the last
word how old was DAV when he passed away
70 so he finished capital I am
Bas that was his capital then he passed
away of
finished right thear says Al and B are
considered one
Capital was considered one
Capal no so he was already
saying yeah so it's a whole why Al and
Bay connected by
him yes you start the next
year right
right
yeah yeah
yeah
yeah yes so the it's okay it's a whole
pull over here why why over here but the
gar that Al and B are considered one
so no no just the first two so yeah so
it's not it's not like 72 it was like 71
imagine if it was Al so when he was 70
he said Al and that's that's the end of
it so as an introduction
to the says
before gives a
[Music]
prerequisite what does he say who do I
have in heaven me me means who is there
for me in
heaven with you I don't desire on Earth
and
therefore what's the introduction what
does it
mean who do I have in heaven it's like
who do I have in heaven I don't have
anybody in heaven Rashi says there uh I
even in heaven I don't have any angels
to choose with you I don't desire
anything on Earth and
therefore what what
what's was the grandson of the Al he has
a over there there's a whole big called
the root of
theah in that M he
brings he explains
this and
says we often tell the story but here he
actually brings the whole Source says
that this is what we used to hear this
this language we used
to from our teacher and Reb he's
referring it to his grandfather his
mother's father the alterb the bat grew
up his mother passed away when he was
very young he was a baby he was 2 years
old so the AL raised him she passed away
there was it was an she made a condition
with her father that she he's going to
raise her son so he grew up in the bosom
of the Al he says this is the language
that we used to hear from our teacher
when he was
in and you see from here that it wasn't
a one-time event he says this was a
regular event that when went into ad
vasus means a state of heightened
connection you could say he was always
in Adas that's true but sometimes with
an adus itself you're going like to a
place like a a Transcendent state of
consciousness of complete Oneness
so there would there were words that
would come out of his mouth then what
were the words that would come
out and when he says means he's quoting
sometimes you just repeat an idea but he
said that's why he goes from Hebrew to
yish because spoken yish what did he say
so he said these
words literal translation I want see Z
see Gard see that I want nothing I want
you to see that I want
[Music]
nothing Z means C garish like we say
garnished what's this what's this that I
don't want I don't want your G I don't
want
your I want
nothing I want nothing else as Only You
Al alone you
alone this was
and this is how is explaining
the get this language from his own soul
obviously but this is what he saw in
this who do I have in heaven I don't
have anybody in heaven in other even
heaven doesn't tempt me and Heaven of
course is a metaphor for ganen Even
Heaven who do I have in
heaven and who do I have on Earth so
even G
I don't have a desire what do I want I
want only
[Music]
you every word was
precise his words were M were precise
with the ultimate Precision every
word you could see it also in
his it's like the ra he was Medic in
every word especially he says when he's
talking during deas when you're talking
in even even on a regular
Wednesday when you're talking Inus it
means the soul is in a complete
communion with its source every word is
is is a Priceless
gem so he's M here in one
word
he doesn't say and often when people
quote it they this what I don't want G I
don't want I don't want your G I don't
want your that's what he was saying what
did he mean dine and quotes it this
way this dine brings out the depth of
what he's
saying
you can have G it's Bliss you don't feel
that it's D
Gan it's your
ganade ganen can also become a
distraction can also become a jail it's
G it's Bliss you're looking for you're
looking for you're looking for you're
looking for
reward says I'm not looking for that
that's not
thees that's not the Kish
even G where I feel it's your G it's
not
it's
what's there's a metaphor of the on
another it says
in the prayer of a poor man when he
davens when he envelops himself in
daving he pours out his is his
conversation his thoughts his words to
Hashem as the every person Who Davin
pours his words out to
Hashem only an doesn't if a person is
not if
[Music]
I'm so
says he gives a famous
metaphor you go into the Chamber of a
king give is a very very fascinating
metaphor he says it was a king and the
King remember the ancient world the King
was everything right you know we don't
relate to it so much but like the
Monarch the King was the Mel was was it
you know had full control and this king
who was a benign King a good guy good
guy also unique in history not to have a
despot as a king but a good person one
day he designated that every subject of
the country could come and see him and
talk to him about whatever he wants you
want to talk about the pothole on your
street you could talk about it you want
to talk about the the leak in your
basement and this was AES whoever saw
the king yeah whoever saw the
king it was aish so everybody came the
king said you know from 6 to 6 the doors
are open no burocracy no red tape no
protect no no protection no nepotism
everybody and zelig and schm can all
come but the B said as you entered in
the p is the first floor was filled with
the most delicious food in the
world people never saw so much food they
never saw such delicious food and then
the second floor had the greatest Wines
in the world and then the third floor
had the most impressive library in the
world and then the fourth floor had all
this jewelry people never saw gems and
diamonds
brilant and then you went to the next
and you had music musicians the best
musicians from the
country
most people when they came they were
hungry they never saw so much food so
they
stayed stay in the first watch you go
further
s another person he finished eating he
went to drink okay you never had so many
drinks nobody saw so much wine so much
pin colada so many whiskey so many
screwdrivers they sat and drink was a
good foring it even if you managed to
get out of there you went to the next
floor whoever saw so many books and
manuscripts if you were a scholar you
stayed there and then you went up and
you saw such jewelry such brilliant such
dazzling glitter and then if you had
music says nobody ever made it nobody
made it to the king and then he says
there was one on there was one
as ased he was
illiterate he was unsophisticated he
didn't even understand the richness of
food he was so he was so simple he was
such a peasant he came in he was hungry
so he ate how long do he eat for five
minutes
drink he didn't understand the
sophistication of wine he wasn't French
he was a peasant so he went he took a
drink next Library he couldn't
read jewelry he never saw them to be
impressed music he didn't have a so what
did he do he went to the king and he
stayed there a whole day so one man
ended up by the King this is
the only the ends up the rich man he
gets caught up in all of the richness of
the palace he never ends
up and with this the B was was trying to
describe what life
is all sophistication is worthless if it
doesn't bring you to
Simplicity the magic of life is the
simplicity
the Simplicity of the touches the
Simplicity of
God we become so sophisticated and
intelligent especially some of us
ashkenazic Jews who are taught to do
gymnastics with our brain and become
intellectual Giants he says you never
ever meet the
king stuck in the library you're stuck
in the library and the library is galic
we're not being M the library and
certainly not the wine and not the Jewel
and not the music what's what's it's
amazing and that that's why it's a trap
if it wouldn't be amazing it wouldn't be
a trap amazing but the Mel you never
touched he doesn't know
about so the TR by the it's not so hard
he doesn't know anything else by the AER
by the person who's a rich person it's
hard and psychologically we all know
what that means you know we get caught
up in so much sophistication and that's
it's you never meet the King you never
meet
yourself that P that encounter face to
face that vulnerability of the child to
be able to look at you in the eyes and
look at them in the eyes with that
unconditional acceptance and connection
I may never have so therefore I have all
the other stuff I'm a scholar I'm
brilliant I'm rich I'm
powerful but I never met I never met the
king
very good
good
seems good you're right good
question is asking why can't Hashem also
be in the library and in the music and
in the wine and in the
food that's the point you're right in
order to bring it out the b is
describing it and physically the king is
on the seventh floor on the sixth flooor
spiritually what it means is go to the
library but don't get stuck in the
library of the
library enjoy the wine go eat go hear
the music but don't let it become a
jail this is not a a a protest against
the richness of Life who created
Music who created wisdom who created
science who created
physics you sometimes read some of you
may read text at least one of you reads
textbooks of Science and physics right
so you like high school high school
textbooks they're describing DNA okay so
I was once reading it he's describing
DNA and I finished reading it said where
is his ESP spilus why is he why is there
no emotion where is his
spilus are you are you like it's almost
like a like a computer analyzing
it don't get
stuck in the outer veneer see the Mel
you're right you're right and the mush
it's very physical so there's a polarity
the king is up there so that's the it's
da the because of his Simplicity because
he's devoid of all of the sophistication
he doesn't get deceived by
distractions he's looking for the real
thing I can get deceived because another
person get deceived because because you
have so many interesting things about
you you know you're an interesting
person you're an interesting person is
only interesting if you're a
person you know when they say he's an
interesting person you're an interesting
person I'm interested in your interest
of your person and was it mean to be a
person to be a person means that you can
let go of everything that you could be
simple that you are
simple only appreciates
the oh so so so the H has it because he
doesn't appreciate anything else he
doesn't get
stuck the the the the the aser we're
talking here rich in terms of of of of
wisdom and personality he can get stuck
he can get carried away or to put it in
other language he can develop so many
mechanisms that will substitute for the
king if I'm an Oni I don't de I can't
develop anything else I don't have
anything
else
I'll give an example somebody who has a
very good brain right if he hasn't had
attachments as a
child if he didn't have a good brain he
knows I need attachment but if he has a
good brain he compensates he says you
know what I'll become a brilliant person
and everybody will validate me somebody
once told me he was working 18 hours a
day in the office and he was barely home
with his family I said why do you work
so hard you don't have paros he says I
have parosa so I said why do you work so
hard so he says cuz I need to prove to
everybody in the office how valuable I
am I want them to know that without me
this company is not
functioning so we create substitutes so
if I have a good brain my brain can
become the mechanisms through which I
live life but you can't live life with a
brain it's like eating a donut with your
brain you can't eat a donut with your
brain you have to eat a donnut with your
taste
butts you can't live life with your
brain you live life by living life with
your soul with your heart with your
passion but if I couldn't do that so my
brain becomes a substitute for that so
now your blessing becomes your
jail and that's what we do we take our
skills we take our richness and instead
of being a vehicle for connection it
becomes a substitute for connection you
understand what I'm
saying don't use your brain so much to
understand what I'm saying don't use
your brain it's not
good if you use your brain it's not good
the brain becomes the the brain is a
channel it's a gift but it's a channel
it's a gift it could become a jail now I
become brainy everything is every
relationship is
intellectualized I have a good computer
and the computer says do this don't do
this connect this way say this say that
there's no person and there's a reason
for it I couldn't have authentic
connection I didn't get that
unconditional love I can't trust me I
can't trust somebody else I don't even
know who I am so everything is with a
brain and it's perfect cuz the brain is
nice and for other people who don't know
you it's galic you have a perfect life
only your soul knows how trapped it is
in a
jail can be of
course the knowing of conscious the
conscious of being conscious the
consciousness of being Consciousness can
be the greatest trap I remember there
was what came to and he
said how's the
feeling so he said
right
he
said it's how does theb feel himself
that's how you say it in Yiddish so he
said if I feel the self it means I'm not
feeling good know your question is
already a problem and he said my
father-in used to say that a healthy
person doesn't feel himself if I'm
feeling my pinky right now what does it
mean it means there's pain here there's
a scratch if I'm feeling my head what
does it mean the more you feel yourself
the more sick you
are when when a body is completely
healthy it doesn't feel itself why not I
should feel myself no don't fail
yourself the reason is this explains
because when a healthy body means it's
aligned with the soul if it's aligned
with the soul it doesn't feel itself
because it's a conduit for the
soul that's what bitl is
self-consciousness self-consciousness
doesn't mean I'm healthy it means I'm
sick I walk into a room and all I can do
is do they like me they don't like me
where should I sit uh what are they
thinking what am I thinking do I look
stupid do I no I don't look stupid no
I'm a good guy what's wrong I came late
what's wrong with coming late uh you
understand what should I do I do and
this narrator doesn't exists everybody's
smiling some everybody relates to
this that have self-consciousness I'm
glad I'm not the only mugan in this
world the 2-year-old who runs through
your dining room Friday night without a
pamper and everybody says he's so cute
what's his what's what's the mil he's
not thinking I'm without a diaper you
know it's a
I'm say pastors what do I look like my
tie is straight it's not straight my
glasses are nice they're not nice what
do you think about me I'm overweight I'm
not overweight I have a long nose I have
a short
nose I wasn't thinking about that one
actually but I'm sure that's also an
equation by some people the point is I'm
I'm I'm so what's wrong I'm thinking
about myself you're not thinking about
yourself I'm in a prison myself is not
free I can't be alive because the eye is
trying to figure out who it is is it's
detached alive means you're attached
you're connected there's no life without
connection when we say I am my own
person it's the worst thing to say that
what mean you're your own person it's
like telling a refrigerator or or or a
computer let me unplug you so you could
be your own person the computer do me a
favor Don't Unplug Me the refrigerator
Don't Unplug Me we're all plugged in
there's a source of life we're channels
for electricity when I'm plugged in I'm
a channel the moment it's me it means
I'm sick I'm unplugged and I'm looking
for energy I'm looking for
life and that's what self-consciousness
is different than self-awareness
awareness of self is not
self-consciousness awareness of Self in
a good way means the awareness of my
role as a
channel you know that's what
self-awareness is a good thing when we
talk about self-consciousness this means
that I'm stuck in figuring out to self
now we have it we all have that since
the atadas atadas means the tree of
self-concious
that's when and ate from the tree they
weren't just eating an apple as King
James decided or an estg or a grape it
means something much deeper it means
they ate the fruit that made them feel
self-conscious so of course the first
thing is oh we're not wearing clothes oh
let's get a
suit we're not wearing clothes you're
one-year-old two-year-old doesn't mind
not wearing clothes why cuz he didn't
eat
from at some point we eat from the US
it's called the ego so now I have to
protect it so in every nuda in life it
becomes it could become a distraction so
it's not that we don't want the gifts we
want the gifts but my brain is a tool
it's not a destination my heart is a
tool my wisdom every talent you have
it's one of the talents of the
king so that's what the
says he made it into the king he has
that that that utter
Simplicity as somebody once
said but
really really it's p the
self-consciousness what am I going to be
a simple
person yeah the B of the becomes his
grace he becomes his grace he's not
distracted
unless he's distracted by the fact that
he's not distracted look I'm not
distracted I don't have an
ego I'm
enlightened I'm Mr enlightened I went on
a trip and I'm better than everybody
else cuz I know everybody's in security
and I am emancipated at
[Laughter]
last and sometimes that's the worst ego
in the world you know why cuz it
actually has some truth to it you may
actually know a lot of things or feel a
lot of things and it could become
sometimes the biggest trap you know the
biggest trap is when I think I left a
trap and now I'm good and everybody else
is crazy I'm the only normal
person so here we come to
the what does the for this is what he
davens
for he's daving don't let me get
distracted by anything
else in other
words
Mish so now we'll understand why said Dy
yours you have a G that I don't feel
it's Dy it's like I'm looking forar I'm
looking for reward you know I'm looking
for the ultimate
Bliss obviously that's not what he
wanted but he said even D it's yours
it's a manifestation of yours it can
also be I I can get stuck over there
because it's beautiful because it's D I
know that it's the King's Music I know
that it's the king's Treasures I know
that it's the king's
wisdom and that's where I get stuck says
even the
real even if I know that all the other
parts of the palace are also an
extension of his richness but I
want that's why he said Dy
yours cuz even
it's not it's not the core it's not the
essence I want you but then he has one
more word
Alain I want you what's you alone you is
you usually
with I want you alone not anybody else
you already said I want you what's Al I
want you the way you're
alone that's what I want I want you in
the essence the way you are
alone and
that's where everything is one
everything is
you he's alone there you cannot be with
him because he's alone excellent
question if he's alone so I'm going to
be
there and that that brings it all out
that you're part of that
M that at your deepest core you are that
an
M yeah you got it that that's the whole
v he's asking a Vala question if it's
you alone so it's not me it's you it's
not me so so obviously you can't get
there I want to be with you in a room
when you're there alone
[Laughter]
sorry excellent question I want to be
with you when you're alone well sorry if
I'm alone you can't be
there you know that's who I really
am this is what the soul really is this
is what Al was saying I want it because
this is who I am anything else is not
who I am who are you in your deepest
space you are there's no
separateness in your deepest core you
are the anoid Mado cuz anoid Mado
doesn't exclude it includes you that's
what doesn't mean there's nothing
besides him and therefore what happens
to all of us I don't know jump in the
lake but the lake is also him okay find
another
Lake that's not the
f means
really what do you mean what about
me you melt
into and and and that's the that's the
ultimate with
you it's not like but I want to be
creative uh who I what do I say you have
to make your mark on the
world you don't want to make your mark
on the
world I want to make a mark on the world
when I when I'm looking for something
I'm looking for for for for to justify
my separateness so maybe you you could
give me a Noel prize I could make my
mark on the world in the deepest
Soul you want you got you want to make
his mark on the world and you are that
you are an extension of that
paradoxically it makes you the most
creative person because you're Creator
creativity comes from Creator creativity
when you are the Creator you're the most
creative person when you're plugged in
fully the electricity will be channeled
through you that's not the issue this is
not an invitation to uh
self-deprecation and self-loathing on
the contrary it's the absolute
liberation
of any burden of self that actually
distracts you from being who you really
are nobody forced outter to say this
this he wasn't saying this to get Gaden
like you know I'm going to say such a
good thing I'll get more the whole V
is even G could be a trap even d
g is not the
[Music]
a he's saying M includes the Trap and
the ego
and while
it so the moment I realize that my ego
and my trap on my part of it's not a
trap and it's not an ego and it's
not you're right you're
right and what that means practic is
when I realize that my ego and my trap
and my MIT and my coping
mechanisms are my journey in order to
work through it's tuck and not an ego
and it's not a trap and it's
not and that's the point that I don't
have to dismiss any part of the palace I
don't say the king is on the eighth
floor and the first floor is garbage and
the second floor is garbage no the
second floor and the third floor are a
preparation they're the way up but don't
stop don't get
stuck and and this this is's deepest
safety this
is I don't have anything in heaven even
heaven doesn't talk to me cuz it can
also be a trail a trap how can Heaven be
a trap it could be a bigger trap than
Earth much
bigger a real person what potato chips
is going to take you what's but black
and white a big building so you'll have
another $3 million so what's going to
happen ganen that's a
trap okay big deal I understand for me
it's a big
to wasn't such
a that's different that's that's a good
trap it's a holy trap it's
Heaven that even Heaven won't tempt
me why
because I want you and what's you I want
you you in the core in the essence
without anything Gaden is a Radiance
that's already condensed in order for
the soul to experience it and therefore
it could be a
[Music]
trap inv to the king
room has to hug you
or yeah can't make can't
yeah yeah yeah the amazing thing is like
person can ask himself who am I to be
with you and actually the answer is who
am
I if he finds in himself that God that
he realize he can do this yeah so who am
I is the biggest you know when we Define
our yeah anything yeah yeah and not
nothing yeah
yeah that you go from one level to
another level to another level isn't
everything one so therefore even eating
the potato chips is like being all way
in the top floor all the
same you're right if everything is
really one so even when I'm eating the
potato chip it's that
oness you you you're right but but we
have to be
honest with our
process in other words if I look at it
from a bird's eye view it's
true but if I'm stuck right in a
narcissistic
moment or in a moment of anger or in a
moment of terrible
frustration or in a moment of
self-loathing or emotional
disassociation I could easily fool
myself by saying it's
and start worshiping my my my
jail and that's where it's very
important to un blend to to to to
realize this is a moment of stuckness
and it's
painful one day I'll realize that this
stuckness if I if I remained conscious
and honest and vulnerable and authentic
this was God was in that
stuckness but it will only happen if I
have the vulnerability to work it
through
so you're right at the end of it it's
all
one but for me to be able to get to that
place I have to acknowledge the
fragmentation the Brokenness and the
pain if I don't honor the pain I'm not
going to find the Oneness behind the
pain because really what I'm saying is
that the pain is not part of it so it's
not an
m means you have to honor every stage
because that stage is part of it there's
no spiritual bypassing because spiritual
bypassing actually means I can't deal
with this I'm not going to deal with it
I'm going to make believe it doesn't
exist I'm going to repress it I'm going
to suppress it so
paradoxically in order to be able to
reach that space of Oneness all the
parts have to be part of it and that
means the obstacles themselves need to
be honored in the sense that this is
what I need to work through now this is
where I am I'm in
pain that's a good question can you be
alive with that
moment you could be vulnerable and
authentic at that moment and that's
life alive no he's saying can you be
alive I can be vulnerable and authentic
where I am and and an authenticity
there's always
life in other words I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm
being open I'm not going to allow the
blockage to take over
here that's the oh oh yeah I think
because oh oh oh oh that's a good
question uh yeah that's where R andu
comes in that's where R and comes in it
there's a pain over there the pain is
that once a person even starts tasting
this there's this inner inner temptation
of letting go of everything but then
there's something even deeper and that
is realizing that I'm
a and that hasem wants me here this is
not a the Tsum is not a game it's a
mission and to abandon that mission is
really abandoning my deepest connection
and relationship yes there's a part of
me that just wants to cease to be and in
fact it's the truest part of the Soul it
doesn't want to be because being is
painful and yet the soul goes deeper and
says
yeah the has an
expression the doesn't have to be more
than the
master like this a Jew wants to cease to
be but then
you and made a world he
wanted he went out of his Infinity to
create a world you're also allowed to go
out of your Infinity so that's
where despite the pain the person comes
back and because knowing that that's the
mission so there's a there there there's
a joy is it
possible feeling
notal excellent question do we live
horizontally or vertically right so I
think we want to live vertically but in
order that the vertical relationship
shouldn't exclude any part of life we
have to be able to experience the
horizontal Dimension as
well is yeah Ro is the vertical and and
and that flow and then sh is is that
ability to be horizontal and you
know south and north and east and west
right are horizontal and then there's
Shay and that's
vertical like by right it says when by
the you think about the seven heavens
and earth and the dollar is the four
sides of the world so there both
elements
is
not right
right
the experience of
this is is needless to say actually when
the de said the species to cry pretty
intensely cuz the experience of this is
very it's the ultimate
Liberation and it's the ultimate
Bliss but the depth of the Liberation
and Bliss is that there's not even an
IOD of ego in other words even D ganen
which is pretty Godly it's your ganen
I'm not stuck in the palace because of
my ego I'm stuck in the palace because
it's your
Palace right it's D it's D I'm not
impressed bya because the cougle I'm not
looking for the coug of I'm looking for
D but it's the way I could relate to you
in a way that nourishes my soul and
that's what is is a place where souls
are
nourished nobody is nourished because
it's Alaine it's it's aaine it's so it's
letting go of everything even letting go
of your spiritual self of your
transcending and the AL says and this is
what a is this is what aish is you know
we talk about the challenge between the
physical and spiritual between ego and
selflessness between narcissism and a
hasem that's not what we're talking
about here d g is not
narcissism D ganen is not
selfish but for the soul it's a betrayal
it's a
betrayal and why could Al say this why
could the only reason he could say this
because he felt that Hashem felt like
that about him if he wouldn't feel that
Hashem feels that about him he wouldn't
be able to say this Tasha you
can't if I could give an example of
people you can only tell somebody my
deepest desire in life is to be one with
you if you feel that they're there that
they feel that way if if you're going to
get a response like I'm not even sure
I'm interested in
you that emotion is going to go dead
very very
fast that hasem feels like that about
him was
inia they had their a
uh like 110 couples around more than 200
couples that came these are parents very
very
religious but not religious it's
religious you
know next level and
very G or whatever you want to call it
I'm not going to give
names you know here even the like really
really very very you
know and what brought them together that
they have a child or children who left
yish or are struggling with a lot of
different things and they came now right
when I came and I understood the courage
of these people it's not like
America the C that they could come and
everybody knows that they're there and
some people you know rashash and and
some of over there like it was it was it
was courageous of them to be
there so uh so somebody asked a question
ER of
shabas they have a daughter this person
has a daughter and the daughter is
struggling for
years and he developed this this you
know perspective that thankfully has
been embraced by many people in the last
years that you don't throw out your
child from the house and you don't sever
your connection on the
contrary and he said but he's looking
for the results he doesn't see any
results he's close and close and close
to her and he gives her and then shows
love and his wife does
but like when does the when does the
insurance policy expire like you're
telling me that's the path that's the
path and he what's the
Tas what's the Tas there's no
Tas he wants the he wants to see the
product he wants to see
transformation that was the question he
did his part
right right
does and he says and it's hard for him
it's hard for him it's emotionally
painful
huh so I don't so I was they asked me to
answer it and I just I didn't know I
realiz I I I I felt what he was I felt
it I I I understood what he was saying
very deeply and I needed to I I wanted
to say something I don't came into my
head this this this
MIM this word from the Al and I said it
over and I said I want to apply this to
our life right now what what does what
does this look like you know it's it's
good words and it's gak and it's
inspiring what does it look like what
does it look like on the ground tell me
what it looks
like what what's Al teaching us what do
you really want what does a soul really
want that this Mish no strings
attached I'm I want to be completely one
with you Alain without any need for any
validation and even experience of it cuz
that itself is a distraction of the
truth so I want to be a complete channel
for
you and only there will I be happy why
will only there I be happy because the
deepest happiness and Bliss of the soul
is when I'm not
there that that's the deepest Bliss cuz
you're one when we talk about I want to
be happy I want to be Bliss I'm I'm
already stuck no you don't want to be
happy you don't want to be Blissful it's
it's not you you don't know
yourself because I think I'm separate I
want to be at Bliss the real Bliss is
that I'm you're not looking for that and
paradoxically that's the deepest Bliss
cuz that's who you are there's no Bliss
without being who you
are so I told him I said you're a you're
an you're a good Jew you're still
looking for ganen
and you want your child to be in Gaden
and you want to be in Gaden you want a
house in Gaden and I get it and I'm not
that it's
selfish but your child is giving you an
opportunity to actually go much
deeper to actually be one that's what
your child is giving you an opportunity
it's a different opportunity and it's an
opportunity that in order to experience
you have to let go of of everything else
you have to let go of every last vestage
of ego including your spiritual ego I
said other people I'm nice to my kid I'm
loving and 3 years later we go down the
to a Lakewood Family and we live happily
ever after and now he finished the first
cycle of and if you would have seen him
when he's 17 and they lived happily ever
after and everybody should experience
that
Bliss I said your child is giving you a
bigger gift a much bigger
gift and the bigger gift is you oh Gaden
look I was good I was selfless I got rid
of my ego and I got Gan you did not
getting G you don't have ganen in your
house you have gam in your
house but your
geh what's what you're calling geh may
be
Atmos you have
hasem it's it's him it's his it's his
Gan your Gan may be much more ganaden
than other people's
Gad there was once a he once said I
would rather be G the company of certain
people than in ganen with the company of
other
[Laughter]
people you have to be a to say that you
understand another person wouldn't say
such a
thing
[Laughter]
you
[Laughter]
understand that's
the the question is where's the
[Music]
EMS if the EM is
in fine SP think no he made gam also who
do you think made
gam you think some company made
ganam some people's geham is much deeper
than other people's
G because they don't go away from the
truth they don't go away from the
nuda so I told this father I don't have
an answer for you I know I know I don't
know how it's going to happen I hope
everything works out
amazingly but did the spirit that you're
having is because you're still living in
Detachment don't you don't have to let
go it's really Letting Go
allowing I I'm going to say it a little
dramatically let go for the need of
being
detached and then your geham will be
more Blissful than other people's
Gade
I think that's what it means practically
practically in very simple English it
means when you're connecting to this
person really what does Hashem really
want that's
it in the moment not about results not
what my family is going to look like all
my friends are marrying over their kids
to the best families in the world why am
I the only
loser and even if I graduate from that
but what's theas all these words are
ganaden words and they're good words
they're holy words we cherish them it's
good to make a about G it's not a bad
thing didn't say there's no ganen of
course there's ganen but the biggest
ganaden you know what the biggest
ganaden is not to think about
Gad that's the biggest Gad huh
surprise you're waiting you know what's
a she's giving me so much pain
I don't know what theas is why you
looking for a Tas just connect saying
accepting accepting your ganim as Divine
and Truth is much deeper than many
people's ganeden because ganeden could
be a place of
separateness it's a place where we sit
and enjoy life
ultimately that means you're separate
what what do you have to be you don't
need give yourself a gift this daughter
is giving you a
gift and it's in each of Our Lives it's
a very very deep nuda not to go away
from the Oneness even for a moment not
to go away from that and not to go away
from moment mean the moment I'm starting
to say but what's going to be and my
family and me and this and Nas and even
if the Nas is not selfish it's goodas
you're not a selfish person he wants his
daughter to give a good life he's not
he's not looking for that they should
say that he's a good father you have
those fathers
too that's Tak
that's again you have
narcissistic it's also not narcissistic
you want good for your family I get it
we all want
that these are human emotions as normal
human I want to fit in yeah I want to
feel like a successful father and I also
care about my kids I want my daughter to
have a good
life but it can all become a
distraction me
say to make no besides what is the of
right now at this moment without any
strings attached including rewards and
Paradise andar and even the feeling that
I did the right
thing you don't even need
that because that will also be a
distraction and your daughter is
challenging you and helping you become a
real
Jew
and I told maybe it's possible you're
looking for her to be connected to God
and maybe she's trying to tell you
tati maybe you have to become connected
to
God
maybe maybe you have to become connected
to
God she's saying it maybe through tough
language our kids always you know they
do what's it called the School of Hard
Knocks it's called the School of Hard
Knocks she's not using this you know
she's not using this holy language but
maybe that's what she's telling
you and in every person's life that that
that that's how it's
translated and that's
called
that's that means I'm not living in
MIT not that there's no there is a
MIT so so now we go back to's question
right you say everything is one when I
touch this space everything becomes
one then I have to I don't have to let
go of anything because if I'm not
looking for results if I'm not looking
for control even spiritual control and
spiritual results then everything is it
everything is its
result if I'm looking for results and
control so then I need this and I need
that and I need that it has to look this
way and look way Gaden has to have a
nice
Ambiance we have to put in an air
conditioner we have to get rid of you
know the
smells but if I'm looking for where is
that it's here it's right here right now
in this moment I it's a moment of pain
and it's a moment of emptiness and it's
a moment of difficulty and it's a moment
of
challenge you think God is afraid of
your
pain you understand if I'm looking for G
then yeah then it's a
process if I'm looking for it's not a
process it's an event it's here it's
now yeah
yeah
yeah is not LMA G is I want
reward it's called
theas
the in this m is that even
G could be D G and it's still not D
Gaden is already much deeper I'm not
looking for ganen I'm looking for you in
ganen that's the condition of the I'm
not looking for
G I'm looking for you
g Dy Gade means you I want your
G but I want you and
ganen it's not yeah it's not Gan so you
say so it means you don't go to ganaden
not you don't go Gan ganen is not a dist
ganen is also we have nothing against
ganeden by the
way you come out of the sh what do RAB
why why say today he say it's much
better to go to geham than ganen yes so
that's true I said that because some
gehams are much better than other gadens
that's the
MS but that's not in Thea we have
nothing against ganaden
as long as it's not as long as it's not
a
[Music]
distraction and all real relationships
happen in this moment because what's a
real
relationship that's the once you let go
of Gade now we could connect now we
could connect as long as there's an
agenda there's no connection I'm in my
agenda and you're in your
agenda even if it's holy
agendas the O Theus the oang the letting
go of everything Could Happen only where
in so now my heart just lets go
completely what is it it melts away into
Oneness and I don't need anything else
because at that that point there's no I
and this is what a looks like
the whole V is not was he was on a
higher level we're not talking about
levels he was on a higher level I'm not
on a higher level I like potato
chips it's true he was on a higher level
no question completely B but that's not
the nuda that's not his nuda he's on a
high level let will eat coule and and
have a h here in the kitchen or soup and
he was looking for for
Atmos he's
describing the Quint essence of the Soul
that's what he's going whose Soul
everyone's
Soul
ah you can't be thankful enough for this
huh you can't be grateful enough for a
person who is a channel for such uh for
such
truth you can't buy this for money you
know what I
[Laughter]
mean even Warren Buffett's money can't
buy
this it says
in if somebody's going to offer all
their money in order to take away this
love they're gonna denigrate
him okay we'll take a little break
here the
next Monday morning we'll finish the
mimer everybody have a
beautiful but I tell you the true
story
e
to a party of a billionaire at 50th
anniversary and he rented the Henry I
think the eth uh palace in England next
to London yeah so story of Balto I saw
it and was my eyes the first floor
was gorgeous just invitations the second
floor was well all the frence and
Essence were there and the next next the
the the palace goes like this like
narrow Nars Nars Nars where he meets the
king meets like a important people more
important people wi uh VPS and then his
bedroom his bedroom and then the last
room you know what last last place I
went to the end because everybody's get
stuck there I was curious what it is the
last room was his
toilet was the bucket so and now when
you were telling me the story I said you
know what why the bucket and it must be
the musal must be correct so I know why
the buck because that's where the the is
oh part part of that truth so that's why
you don't cover it very good so I saw it
with my own eyes the Henry the a the
last room was that wow b b very good and
nobody goes there nobody goes there I
was the only one went through the whole
party I I because I was so fascinating
was the palace it was just the people
were people were stuck in the in the in
champagne and there was a dance party
how the was as
thank
youon tell your
mother tell your mother that I'm happy
that I helped put her to
sleep sometimes it's a big to help a Jew
sleep
wow
amazing thank you so much I mean this is
like it's true I and I understand the
pain of that eat personally yeah and uh
and uh it's it's so excruciating
sometimes you say even stupid things I
wish I would never happen like this and
that but the truth of the matter
is accepting it it's
actually yeah that's that's the pain
wants us to go through just be able to
exactly
[Music]
exactly
