that is beckoning from beyond. You'll be
able to see this and I think I mentioned
it before but I'll just mention again
the idea as is expressed there by the
mafim the mafim on the when they explain
the explanations when they explain what
he means is you will be able to see me
means that you will see a light but it
won't be a similar light to what we're
used to. It's not the light like this
that we'll have for another day or two
that he says not going to have till next
week. Right? But anyways, it's not a
light that you're able to experience.
It's a light that's beyond. And it's a
light that you can't feel. It's a light
that's unexplainable. It's a light that
goes into your feelings, your heart.
It's like this good feeling of warmth,
of feeling of gishmach, of relaxation,
like a complete manukes. A type of a
type of relaxation, a type of feeling
where you just feel, you know, all you
know, got all the
feeling good all over as they say,
right? You just it's it's a feeling of
absolute security.
That type of feeling. That's a type of
light. It's not a light that we are
familiar with right now. And like you'll
see and that's why I mention I mentioned
on purpose that that's what they say in
the that's what he's writing the Ramban
is because when you see people talking
everyone everyone says the same thing.
They all talk about this light and this
feeling and this hard gush of security
and this wanting to get closer to it and
this experience that's unexplainable and
it can't be put into words and it's not
limited.
That's the idea that the zor says that
you will see an or of all the
says
it's a limitless type of feeling and
it's a powerful light which there is no
more powerful light than it. Now
everything is always compared to orot.
Also in the this form of cababala it
always talks about orot it always talks
about lights because light is the most
metaphysical thing that we have in this
world. There's nothing more metaphysical
that we have in this world. We cannot
reach the speed of light. It is
physically not possible. Obviously as we
know it was proven by Einstein
nothing better than a Jew to be able to
prove Judaism even though it is
completely not religious. Right? But the
idea of light is something we are not
able to do. If you go the speed of
light, 282,000 miles per second. That
means in 1 second you could travel
around the world six times the whole
entire globe, you'll be able to try
travel in 1 second, not 1 minute, 1
second. So you see what kind of speed uh
uh light is. It's beyond our
understanding. We can't even reach it.
But if you're able to do it, so as he
proved in the theory of relativity,
you're also able to go back in time,
which shows that time is relative. Okay?
Time is something that was creation.
It's a creation itself. It's not
something that's automatic because we
always stop because if you can go the
speed of light then you will be able to
go go back in time and that comes from
this idea. That's why cababala all the
aot that we spoke about over here the
ore that they see when they go upstairs
it's always referred to as light because
that's the closest most phys physical
understanding that we have with our
physical heads. We're very limited.
We're very you know we're very as we say
square. That's all we have. We just have
what what's in this what's on this head
over here. You understand? That's all we
have. So we can't see farther. So the
most we can relate it to is what we call
light. But it really is something much
more. It's really uh it's really uh much
more. The mid says
when a person passes away
actually sees the
I read you a mid midress that says
appears to you in the position of a
light that you're able to see and you
receive a
and you receive some type of some type
of spiritual
um ascendance going up that you were
never able to experience in your life um
before.
Okay. Through this
and this is a very interesting
phenomenon because what this means is
when that happens a person goes he feels
this warmth this connection this nice
feeling and that itself is the reason
why he passes away. That itself is the
reason why he doesn't live because he
feels this really and he wants more of
it. He actually goes, it talks you out
of it and it actually gives you more and
more of it. The person wants to get as
close as he can to the uh to the light
and that actually makes his nama leave
his goof
and get as close to the screen and I
guess he can't fight. Well, that's the
that's the question. Can he fight it to
say otherwise? So that you're going to
see in the near-death experiences that
some of them were able to. Not
everyone's able to because there are
some people that have died in the world,
right? But apparently there have been a
few. But the view the view they don't
live to tell the story. That's exactly
my point. Exactly. Because we find that
uh that uh that they turn off the air
conditioning or what
they just moved it closer to us. All
right.
Um uh okay. So that's it. That's uh
that's you. So so I'm saying and you
have to remember when we do speak about
these near-death experiences like like
that's the point I'm trying to bring out
here is we only know the guys who came
back. We unfortunately are not able to
speak to the guys who didn't come back
because then we get a lot more better
information, a lot more juicy
information. Huh?
Speak to us
sometimes. Speak to us. We're going to
speak about that also. Yeah. But bear we
only see that. But that's the point. And
we see the people that kind of got the
choice. Do you want to go back? Not go
back. And a lot of them speak out that
it was a question. Can I go back or can
I not go back or this? And that that I
don't think that choice is always given.
Many of them just kind of like it's time
to go. Bye-bye. Right. And you don't
have a you don't have much of a choice
of what can uh what can happen. Okay,
that's that's that. Okay,
and that's that's what it says.
Okay, the midrash also brings the
different midrash brings that sometimes
are able to see the the future but that
of course is only
brings about and we know in our par that
are coming up
on the day that they were dying they
were able to give and they were able to
say the future they were able to predict
the whole entire future because they
were they were already kilo halfway
there. They're already there. They're
able to see the whole entire picture.
Are they able to see the whole entire
gamut of everything? So they're not
limited. There's even a ch of the it's
the last cha in the has a long ch about
a lot of these inim maybe I'll quote it
here and there but in reference to us he
actually says one person said over
certain during that time period before
he was dying a big I guess and he was
saying over certain or certain things
that people didn't know it and he said
we don't we don't pass in according to
what they tell us up in Shamim. said it
came from Shamim. He had gillim. He had
a
gillim. How you say
re revelations revelations up in Shamim
during the time before he died. And I'm
sorry I'm not going to ask him like
those because that much we don't do.
There's also a safer stand
parathetically there's a safer of
it's one of the balaf
there's a safer called shalu questions
and answers min shim from this from from
the sham from upstairs from revelations
that a person had many of them and it's
there's hundreds of questions that he
asked shamim he went to sleep it was a
rish which means it was approximately
800 years older he went to sleep and he
woke up in the morning And tada, he got
the answer. This is what he said. This
is what you got a thing. M was like a
computer. He got the
didn't even he didn't have internet back
then. There was no Google and he still
was able to get it. He got he got it in
your mind without even getting
immediately. It's because there was no
Google we had revelations. But anyway,
so that's a that's an incredible thing.
So one and just I'm mentioning this
parathetically, but one of the one of
the questions that he asked in Shamim,
do women make a bra on?
Can a woman make a
things that they are from. I think most
of us know that a very solid
disagreement between
all say you can is based on the I'm not
getting into that right now and the more
or less say not to not all by the way
says you can okay the says that women
can make a but we know is die hard women
don't make any don't make any that's the
most familiar correct we're all familiar
what I'm saying yes okay so in the
The person went to sleep asking this
question. Should women make?
He woke up and the answer was yes.
They're allowed to make a
no problem. They can go ahead and
mention what
[Laughter]
you wouldn't let go by. Right.
So he has a whole cha second chuva after
the after the safer thing a whole
separate cha about 10 pages saying we
don't ask a word from the safer it's and
he goes into the whole idea of we don't
pass gil and those things you don't ask
you ask about what's downstairs and
downstairs is the I mean it's whatever
the comes out is supposed to be right
that's what that's basically says and
therefore he says you can't use as any
type of of proof that's an idea that we
don't do things But there are very
strong gillim that a person can go
through during that time. A couple more
quick things that happens to a person
is like this. It's brought down in the
zor and the mid in this week's para this
week's para because we had a few with
funny. It's called the life of Sar and
there there's the most deaths in this
portion than any other para right we
have
and what's the name all of them die in
this para so there's a lot of death in
this week's para
it says that afterwards
and writes like this before a person
dies he sees the
then the sticks by him and he doesn't
get scared and it's a good feeling and
he sticks with that good feeling until
he goes straight to where he's supposed
to go and he says
things will be okay for him as opposed
to the someone who's a rash even though
he does see the meaning you will see the
or which I think is a very important
point because sometimes we're going to
have a lot of near-death experiences not
everybody was at sadik right not every
single one of these people that had the
sadik but they still saw the light they
still saw the sor and it's before the
and the midr and the zor that they also
see the they also see it but the only
thing is it doesn't last very long
because soon afterwards they start
shivering and they start sweating and
it's things start getting scary
and after they see the see oh I rebelled
against this I'm in big trouble and then
they start feeling a tremendous
intrepidation a real fear
like I said they could sweat they could
they could shake it could be a real
panic of what it is whether It's
physically or metaphysically could be
both. Okay. Now in this case it actually
says okay I'm going all the
kids are they say over here in this case
like what the the previous case I told
you about sadikim they see it and they
want to go and it's a good feeling and
the midr is it's like taking a herit of
milk. It's a good feeling. It's
soothing. It's relaxing. It's good and
you want to go there etc etc. But by the
like I said even though they see the but
that itself in the beginning is yummy
but then it turns into being very
difficult and they start resisting not
wanting to
says they close their eyes and then open
their eyes. He closes his eyes and open
his eyes. Okay. I left the I left right
next to my seat. Don't mind. Okay. I he
closes his eyes and opens his eyes etc.
He he he it says to the extent that he's
trying to run away from this fear of of
trying to is there anywhere to turn is
there any way to um to run away and
that's
now he has to see the
runs eventually leaves and then the
comes in the comes in
it comes out there's a few different
explanations he says
like it comes out like pulling out a big
thing out of your esophagus, which is
obviously not uh not so comfortable. If
you don't know what I'm talking about,
ask your wife when she gave birth what
she felt like. Okay, that's one example.
But a similar example that they talk
about is when you have kim uh thistles
that are inside of of a fleece of its of
it's like trying to it's like very
sticky and things are coming off and
it's very uncomfortable and things don't
flow. things are don't flow and that
that's the descriptions that are given
to the nama of a rasha when it's leaving
its goof it's incredibly painful it's
incredibly painful okay because a person
has to experience a extracting of his
wanting to be part of the goof the bal
that's how they always explain they
speak about this very often the bal the
speaks about a lot and others from the
speaks about all the time because he's
so attached to his body that he doesn't
want to leave in the morning and he's be
pulled out here and pulled out here and
pulled out here and it's incredibly ly
painful because it's being pulled out
inch by inch, piece by piece until
eventually it's done, but it's done in a
very difficult and uncomfortable way as
opposed to by it kind of just flows. It
just kind of extracts. It just kind of
leaves in a very peaceful and loving and
loving way. You follow? So that's um
it's a little bit of an incentive to be
a sadik. Huh?
That's why they shake before they go.
Shake what?
The body shakes. They said
sometimes. Yeah. Not always, but yeah.
Sometimes still move about. That's
right. That's right. Yeah, that's right.
100% 100%. One that applies based on
this is we find in Shin
over here talks about a person who's
dying. It gives a whole list of
that you're not supposed to do or you
are supposed to do. Okay. What you are
supposed to do and not supposed to do to
uh uh and over here it brings out a
goess is you're not allowed to touch
him. You're not allowed to do anything.
You don't even uh you're not supposed to
sum. You're not supposed to touch them.
You're not supposed to close up any etc.
A lot of different things that you're
not allowed to do. You're not allowed to
in any way. And one of the things that
they bring is brought in here in what
you're not allowed to do in your
a person is not allowed to close his
eyes until the person is properly dead.
And you see this sometimes they do it.
They'll close his eyes or something like
that until they're 100% positive. He's
dead. You have to wait. They bring down.
You have to wait. You have to wait.
Sure. Because maybe he's not fully dead.
Maybe he's not 100%.
Someone who closes his eyes before he's
100 100 100% dead. Till he's for sure
for sure for sure dead is considered
your as if you killed the person. And
what is the mash that they bring? The
mash that's brought the brings it, but
it's already in the b. The Michelle that
they bring is just like a candle that's
melting as waxy that it's already, you
know, it's it's flickering. It's
flickering on if you just touch it,
it'll fizz out. It'll fizz out. It could
have lasted another minute, but but just
by touching the wax candle, it fizzes
out much faster. So too with this
person, he was flickering. It was it was
there, you know, but he had one more
minute, another minute. We hold every
minute is another pressure, another
precious minute. And if you if a
personal just touches him in the wrong
place or closes his eyes when it's a
little bit too early then he will cause
him to die a couple minutes early
and therefore a person has to be
incredibly careful
tryitate
something else they talk about two
things two exceptions that they bring
over here also in the in the
also brings it if if he's in a house
that's burning right or if he's in a car
accident and you want to pull him out of
the car so it doesn't then obviously
that's okay or you reset to resuscitate
of course you have to do your breast and
when they resuscitate and they also
break his ribs you know they have to
break his ribs sometimes in order to do
it so those things of course for you're
allowed to but many times and I said in
the hospital all the times they do it
they say okay he's ready basically yeah
you know close his eyes you know
something like that very very dangerous
okay to do something unless they're 100%
sure you have to wait a little bit
before before you do such a thing every
doctor should know these because I don't
think they're so wary about it and the
same instance though It does it is
brought down in the zor that you do
close his eyes but that already it
bothered me because I remember this
sentence but he himself says if you know
100% he's dead so then we actually do
close his eyes why do we close his eyes
why the zor say bring close because he's
having so much trouble that he's he's
busy somewhere else right now the man
he's he's busy looking at the mal is
dealing with he doesn't want to see you
also right he's not it's thoughts he's
not he's not there for three days the
first three days he's he's half in body.
He's going back and forth from his body
and he's he's dealing with what's going
on upstairs. So, it's not so not so fun.
So, that's why when he's 100% dead and
you know he's dead, then you actually do
close his eyes because then he's not
able to see outside and he's able to
focus on what he needs to be focusing
on. You follow what I'm saying? Yeah.
You follow? Okay. I'm just trying to
make sure nobody closes their eyes over
here because you know what that means.
Anyways, that's uh that's that's what
comes out over here. Okay. That's what's
going on. That's important. What comes
out from this uh from this and there's a
big difference between
and
I told you about this and they talk
about certain things and you could tell
a person you know again I don't want to
judge anyone when they're dying if they
had went through a harder death or then
you have to start judging them but at
least you should know they talk about a
sweat and a and a and an intrepidation
and a fear that goes in
talks about these uh these ideas. Okay,
that's uh that's what happens here. On a
similar note, if we're speaking out a
couple of and this I'll finish this keta
this piece over here.
The of how what's the being able to see
the is a couple things that's brought
in. Okay, it's know there's a couple
things. What how are you to see the when
you die? When a person dies, how is he
to see where does he get the to be on
the good side of the fence and not the
bad side? So one of the big things
that's brought down and then
how do I see it by when I give person
gives a proper man with
you'll be able to see the image of you
able to see the what mosh raenu himself
was not able to see mobu reached 49
levels of
seeing the is number 50 which he wasn't
able to get to number 50 the the
kamishim which he was able to get So
he's able to see the or which the
speaks about about being able to see the
and that comes by giving then you're
able to reach that that level of
understanding that's a B a second way of
doing it is brought in the
brings down if you want to look
and he brings it's based on the you
should know but he brings quoting
he says
quotes this
during
if one does not close his eyes or he's
looking in the sitter. Okay, those are
the two according to you have to or
close your eyes during and of course if
you don't know it by heart you're
allowed to look in the sided as opposed
to someone who does not do one of those
two things meaning when he's dabbing you
ever see someone like this or whatever
I've been asked this question before
because you know you speak out that a
person you're not allowed to walk for
you're not allowed to walk if a person's
in the middle of you're not allowed to
walk back within his four right we all
Right? Someone's standing behind you and
someone's here. You're not allowed to
walk back to that person. You're not
walk. So I've been asked, what if the
guy's like this and he's like this,
you know, he's not deting
out, you're still not allowed to. But if
a person does do that
if it was just a real I'm not sure if I
would have quoted it says that a person
doesn't look in a s or his eyes are not
closed he's not
he's not able to see I'm meaning the
words
okay it's important that you want us to
know I'm sorry you want to say something
no
they
doesn't worry about it.
They say the but it ends up being to
their uh to their to the
you see it. Yeah. I think I guess he
meant in a good
in a good way that it helps you in a
feeling of that. I don't know if the
person turns into a Russia. I don't want
to say that but I guess he didn't see it
in the as strong as you're supposed to
or something like that.
Okay, that's uh that's it. One other
okay one other interesting which is
important also is brought in the Shabbat
and where the we all know the is at the
rush of the rush of
also these are all very nice if everyone
see it
someone who's visiting a dead a sick
person
so bad thing
shouldn't sit on a chair or the bed or
on a bench
But you're sitting because the
I'm reading
the is by his head and therefore when
you come says not to sit. Now what does
that mean? So the already qualifies what
he means is what does it mean that you
should not sit by him? He says
if the if the sick person is lying on
the ground let's say after an accident I
don't know what oral
okay if the sick person is lying on the
ground you're not allowed to sit on a
bench or a chair or a bed next to him
because you are higher than him and the
is by his head when a person is sick the
is right by his head but if he's up on a
bed if he's up on a bed so then you're
allowed to sit cuz you're not higher
than him When a person's sick, you're
never allowed to be above him. You can't
be on a higher. If he's on a low bed,
you can't go on a higher spot. You have
to be at least level to him because
mameshina is sitting by him. On that we
have enough kamina because it is brought
in the zor. So that only applies by
someone who's aik is everyone in this
room also. But it means as opposed to a
rash, someone who's a rash, someone
who's not a good person, something like
that, he does not have the by him when
he is sick.
Then the there's different levels. A
real sadik is all over not just by his
head. It's his whole body which is I
assume it's all of us over here and that
the is by your head and um and therefore
he brings us for where you sit where
you're allowed to sit. You're not
supposed to sit by the head of a sick
person because the is there sit by his
body. Okay? When when you go to visit
someone in the hospital then you sit by
his body by the thing but you shouldn't
sit by his head because your mom is
sitting next to the is real stuff. It's
not some uh nice esoteric ideas. It's
real stuff. You have to know that it's
really uh it's really there. And one
last thing which I'm mentioning because
this all is there in the near-death
experiences is also
when a person diesem
a person knows every little word that he
said and you should know
the word every little word that he says
is set in front of you. Nothing is
forgotten. Every single thing is played
back. Okay? Every single thing is there.
It's real. It's not just told to you.
Okay? Don't think that you're in a court
of law and you know when anyone's in a
court, no one knows 100% of the guy did
it, right? You could prove it. You could
try to prove it in this and you can
assume and not assume and catch him or
not catch them, but nobody ever 100%
knows. Over here, it's all in front of
you. It's a video screen which can't be
denied, which can't be uh which you
can't go connected. Okay? And that's the
zor brings. That's the pain of death.
The biggest pain of death is that you
see all your actions right in front of
you and there's nothing to do about it.
You can't a deny it and you can't
retract them anymore. There's no chuva.
Right now you guys can do chuva. After
this year, you can go and do chuva and
you'll still be okay, right? But to go
ahead but to go ahead and and and when
it's too late, that's the it's
incredibly painful experience. It's the
experience of like just give me one more
I just need a few more minutes. ever had
such a thing that you know you like you
did something very foolish or very
stupid. Okay, and you're incredibly
embarrassed about it and you just can't
take it back because you're just blush
and embarrassed. It's already there.
What you did is already done or you made
a statement to someone which is
incorrect. You said something to your
wife or you're going to hear about it
for the rest of your life. Right. Right.
You said something. Why did I say that
stupid thing? What?
In life and death.
She'll come back to haunt you. Right.
You're never going to Why did I say
that? Right. These things are thing
that's the pain that's the real ages
that a person feels of not being able to
retract everything everything he says
said in the stifle when he was nif about
how perfect he was but he said every
individual word every minute every
individual second is going to come back
if you ever saw the
maybe I'll read it next time not this
time whatever we'll read it one time but
inside he says you don't know every
single word is every word that a person
says, every bit of lash, every wrong
word that he says is going to come back
to haunt you. It's a very very scary
thing, especially during the week of
politics. Right? I should have said this
last week, right? Every word now too
late. I'm half too late. Right? Every
little word is just incredibly painful
how much it will come back. And a person
has to make sure to realize that nothing
gets uh nothing gets lost. That's what
he writes. Unless you unless you ch
you can do cha but yeah it's a lot a lot
sometimes chuva by words is the hardest
because if you heard someone else you
have to get to him and you have to ask
and all that so it's a lot more harder
but
say everything is up to the individual
person like I said in the near-death
experiences will speak about it used to
say and we'll just like conclude this
section the used to say that that um
everything
until you know back Then kind they came
out with something called like a tape
recorder or like a type of rundown video
camera. I don't know exactly what they
had. It was like a like you know the you
know the Charlie Chaplain type of things
that they had right you know what I'm
saying like the like the picture picture
they had like these types of frame
frame by frame type of uh things back
then and was from the whole telegraph
from the from the telegraph right the
whole idea he said this is all coming to
tell us something. What's it there for?
Because it's there to teach us that that
everything is going to be in. Until now,
we didn't need these things. Cuz you
tell a person, you should know
everything's written down in every
little word you say is going to be in
every little thing you do is going to be
up in every picture that you did. And a
person said, you know, you tell me the
say it
say the rabbis say to do something, we
listen to him. The rabbis say to someone
nowadays things have changed, right? Not
everybody always listens to everything
or believes that it could be really
true. Is it really like that? etc. Not
everyone always believes. So we need a
handicap. We need a wheelchair. We need
something to teach us that it is true.
So nowadays that we have a little bit
more than a tape recorder and a little
bit more than a video. And we see how
much information can be stored. It it's
not very hard for me to st sit here and
tell you everything is remembered in
Shamayim, right? Right? I don't have to
start convincing you everything's wrong
because we all know there's a quite a
lot of information that can be held into
one computer screen you know computer
bit whatever right you understand so now
that we have this physical way to prove
it so now you can understand
who knows each and every as a as a
disease
because now it's not so hard if we
didn't have it then with our level of
amuna with our level of amuna we'd have
trouble does he really know everything I
can really get away with this or that
you understand
hm M
when after you pass away, you say you
see everything in your life.
What's the time frame? It's the speed of
light.
You're able to take it all in.
You see it all in one shot. Yeah. You
see one big picture of the whole entire
thing. You wonder how you do that then?
I can't tell you. But you see apparently
like one flash of everything.
You see it all in one flash. You see the
whole entire thing. It's a unusual thing
that can't be described, but I totally
believe that it happens.
Fast forward of a billion people. Oh no.
See, you can imagine a screen like see
100 screens at one day.
Yeah.
Yeah. You see the whole thing. Again, I
don't know if you have to have a perfect
example in this world, but you
understand the idea. Okay. With this, we
introduced this idea which will take the
rest of this year and the next year at
least. And next year I I hope next year
to show a couple. Okay. cabling will try
to show a couple of uh kind compliments
of Denil was able to get us a few
near-death experience encounters of 10
minutes I understood of a few of them
and very interesting ones and I I want
to tell you like this let me just give
you some background into this idea these
near-death experiences
in Greek so
say again
some of them you translate because
they're in
Hebrew
they're in Hebrew okay
some of them some of them
okay yeah okay I mean almost everyone
here knows but yeah okay you're right it
doesn't have a thing on the bottom
Okay. Um, so basically it's like this.
Let me give a little bit of background
into what happened here. Near-death
experiences, I think most of us are
already familiar with. Okay. Basically
what happens is, and it's obviously
recent phenomenon because of the
technology that we have these days. We
have the idea that a person can die,
literally die, his body is cold, he's
not getting any oxygen to his brain. It
could last for a good number of 18
minutes before they can bring it back.
If it lasts too long, obviously he'll be
brain dead and it won't be very helpful
to bring him back. You can bring him
back but it's on it's on very thing and
a person doesn't have any uh any senses
etc. And for all intents and purposes in
the physical medical world he was always
considered dead. Now with technology and
not in the in the world we didn't know
that the person was dead but with
technology we've been able to they're
able to get him back many times and in
the olden days it was a little bit
nowadays it's like not even it's like
almost standard standardized I have to
tell you in 1997
they did a they did a secare uh survey
in America there were 13 million
near-death exper experience. It's called
NDE. By the way, I might just say
near-death experiences. Okay? 13
million. Till 1997, there were 13
million in the whole world. From 1997,
there were 30 million 30 million
near-death experiences, which means
we're not talking about numbers where,
you know, one guy's making, you know,
when you deal with 10, 20, 30, you can
say, "This guy made it up and this guy's
playing games and this guy's trying to
have fun and, you know, everyone's
trying to sound very fancy and get get
their cover." But when so many millions
of people are all in, you know, everyone
obviously has their different their
different way of phrasing it. But
everybody mish as all the things that
we've been speaking about everything I
quoted you on purpose quoted names from
the zor and from the midrush and from
gamarat etc. Every single one parallels
with everything that we know from over
2,000 years ago. You understand? It's
it's it's not possible for such a thing
to be made up. It's not even a it's not
even a joke. Every single person almost
is at least for the Jews. He told me one
exception. I think there was one person
who wasn't. He told me
one guy can't he couldn't get himself to
do which is very strange to me. But I
hear okay a person okay that's that's
why Hashem gave us the same reason I
said to you before the Hashem gives us
technology for people who are in such
low levels. In the olden days it was
much easier to be spiritual. There was
no such thing as atheism and there was
no such need. Okay, there were different
religions. Everybody had their own
religion, but at least the idea of not
believing in a god or thinking that
there's no world to come is ridiculous.
It was absolutely ridiculous 150 years
ago. And now since it's so powerful, so
has to pipe up, pump up a little bit
that our our level of free choice in
order for us to be able to do it. The
first person who started this whole
uh uh uh system, this whole uh trend,
this whole trend is a person named Dr.
Raymond Moody. Moody, you heard of this
person, right? some of he lived in the
60s he's not alive anymore I don't think
right I don't think he's alive he wrote
the first book called life after life
and that's was a book written in the
late '60s late '60s early '7s mash kaz
you look it up that was like the first
book that came out from there a he has
his own talim students of his and people
that have done a tremendous amount of
research and looking into it and there's
there's I mean from him was already
interesting but after him is like it
wasn't just theory anymore it just uh
straight facts. It was just a very
obvious. Another woman named Elizabeth
Kabler, I think she's a she was a
Jewish. She herself, it was very
interesting because she herself did a
lot of research on it. She says she did
over for um how many years she did
thousands of thousands of of different
people interviewed them checked into she
herself as a psychiatrist etc. looking
into it etc etc. And then I don't know
Mina Sham was a funny sense of humor.
She herself went through a near-death
experience. She herself was dead for a
number of minutes and came back. Okay.
And she herself says that uh she was a
person who didn't necessarily believe in
anything. She was a full, you know, she
was a sworn atheist until she looked
into all these things and then, you
know, Hashem did the Makabat finished
her off and gave her also the gave her
put her under the put her under the the
scalpel as they say and it happened to
her and the these are her words in in
her book that she wrote about it.
Whoever wants to listen will listen and
whoever is not interested in listening
to what to to these ideas is in for a
big surprise. That's what she basically
says. She writes he's never I'm telling
you this is a person who was a proper
proper atheist. Okay. Um there's no way
that so so much accuracy could be given
to to many of the things including the
types of stories that are are are given.
Okay. And suiting the the type of
stories that are given here. I'll give
you a couple examples here. First of
all, I just recently saw it was I
happened to be I go I I go to whatever I
I saw not recent recently a video of a
woman who was blind from birth, right? I
don't know if you see this one. She was
blind from birth. She never saw from the
She always walks around with her
glasses.
Helen, she's one. Yeah, a lot of blind
people blind from birth. Yeah, she was
blind and deaf. This woman wasn't deaf.
She was she was there but she and she
actually was married and on on her when
she was married within uh a couple
months of her marriage she was in a very
serious car accident and she went to uh
she was she had ND she had a near-death
experience she was dead properly until
they brought her back etc. This is a
woman who she she describes it I I I
would I would show you the video if I
get a hold of it but I saw someone else
bring it. I don't know if I have the
video but she actually says people
always ask me do I see black? I say I
don't see black. I don't see anything.
You can't see black, you don't see. She
didn't know what colors are. She didn't
know images. She was born blind. She was
born in a thing. And uh she she writes,
she speaks for a while about it. And she
said when she died, when she died for
that amount of time, she was able to see
everything and she was able to describe
in detail every single thing that was
going on in that hospital room that was
going around her. She didn't even know
it was her body. The only way she knew
is because she knew she felt her wedding
ring on her finger and she realized that
was her with her wedding ring and she
was watching herself being then cuz she
she knew that was the feeling that she
had in her body. She could always feel
wedding ring. She never saw it but she
knew, you know, obviously what it felt
like or what it was that type of thing.
She was able to have it and when she saw
herself she said that's me. She realized
that was me and she was able to see
herself. Now that is already a step
above because we're talking about a
person who's properly blind that was
able to describe images. She was able to
describe people that she saw, how many
how many doctors were in the were in the
place, etc. All these types of things.
On a similar note, in another place,
there was a doctor who was not blind
from birth. He was a chemist and in a
science experiment, there was an
explosion and he went blind. He lost his
vision from that. He was not blind from
birth, but he went blind. He was saying
and he says the whole thing. He was able
to describe the colors of what the
doctors were wearing. That was probably
easy, right? White, right? But he was
able to say um different things uh how
many people were there and a number of
different things with incredible
detail um uh incredible detail of what
of what was going on. In another
experience of someone who also
uh was in uh in a thing it's like this
she says that she saw like I said
everyone says and this was the first
thing we mentioned they see their body
underneath them which is what we spoke
about the past two weeks or past week
and a half right which is what we
mentioned about because why do they see
because we have an ashama the nama goes
up with the ruach which is your telm
which goes above of the body and is able
to see the physical body which still has
a little bit of an effic of life. We
mentioned the first three days after
death that the body and the spirit are
still connected. It doesn't just fly to
shim and forgets about you it about the
person. It takes 3 days till he decides
that it's all over once he sees once the
person sees his body decomposing. So
then he gives up then he gives up and
then he only stays around the house for
seven days during the Shiva during the
seven days. But the first three days
he's still around. So to all these
people, every single person, every I
don't know if there was one that didn't
say this. Every single one says
immediately it's like a boom boom and
all of a sudden they're looking
downstairs. They see they're flying up
in chamay and they're able to see or
they're able to be right on top of the
goof and they're able to describe
everything. There was one woman who was
able to say that she was able to
describe in detail. She told her si and
when she came back she said I she told
her sister where she was sitting in the
waiting room and how much she was crying
and she was with tissues and she was
able to say she said her brother was
over here. Her sister was here. She was
able to tell her in the waiting room
where everybody was cuz you know she was
taking a tour around the hospital. She
was all right. She was flying all over
the place. You understand? She was able
to be totally uh but they all speak
about this idea of being above of of
being above the being above their body
and they able to see it. conscience how
they're able to to be there, okay, and
able to see everything. What I mean to
say by these examples, it's you could
say that, oh, they must have read the
book. They probably read Raymond Moody's
book, right? And then they died and they
said over stories about but this is not
this is not replaceable. This is not
something you can make up. They were
able to describe. She told her sister
what she was wearing. You understand?
She told her sister what she was wearing
and then when she was sitting in the
waiting room, etc., and how much she was
crying, she saw her balling and
everything like that, etc., etc. So, it
was obviously um uh we know where it
comes from. Another example, a woman
says, "I need I know that I'm dead, but
I knew I was dead, but I couldn't do
anything about it." And I was trying to
call out to the people around me, "I'm
okay. I'm here. Don't worry, I'm here."
And nobody heard me. Nobody was able to
hear me. She was calling out to the
people underneath her, trying to tell
her that I'm here. And I see everybody
upset. And everyone seems to be a little
bit disappointed in the fact that I'm
dead.
Right.
Right. She said, "I was able to see my
body on on the on the table and I saw
all the doctors giving up on me also."
I'm going to be finished in about two
more minutes. That's it. Two more
stories and we're finished. I saw my
doctors giving up on me. I was very
depressed. I was very upset. I didn't
want to die. And then she says, "I saw
an orha. I saw a pale light." Now, that
a little bit connects with what I was
talking before. Okay? Cuz I told you,
everyone sees this light and they all
speak about I'm we're quoting you word
for word, by the way. at Latlad. It was
getting it was pale, but it was latlad
getting stronger and stronger and closer
and closer and warmer. I can't explain
what this light is because in the
beginning it was far and I couldn't
really see I really couldn't see it and
then and I couldn't see my body and then
it started getting closer until it
started surrounding me and it got very
strong. So I started getting confused. I
didn't know I wasn't able to see my body
anymore because I was surrounded by this
powerful light. It's a light that I
can't really describe but it's just you
you have to understand
um you have to understand what it was.
The light started speaking to me and I
started to feel a certain nisson like a
certain test that I was going through.
Okay. But even though it sounded like a
test and it sounded might be a difficult
like a borti light. What's borti like?
Um
light that was testing me but it still
was a feeling of love of warmth and of
security. It's hard to explain. It's
hard to hard to be it's hard to I can't
explain but it was it was it was
something it was something real. It was
something that was really there. One
last story and this one I'll finish
is a story about a woman named Susie
Holder. She was standing um
uh oh she gave she was giving birth and
she lost a tremendous amount of dam
because she was giving birth too early
and they had to do a cesarian to take
out the baby and I lost all
consciousness and I was completely cuz
she she was hemorrhaging and she
completely lost conscious of her whole
entire body and she said suddenly I saw
my body underneath and I saw all the
people around me and then I started
seeing a white light and around the
white light was a blue light okay and
different type of phenomenon here it
felt a feeling of relaxation manuka and
shalom of peace and beauty it was
pulling me towards it and I started
feeling wanting to go towards this light
I started feeling like I was flying and
I was going closer and closer to the
light I had this inner need to get
closer to the light I'm telling you what
I was going you before was not in near
the experience I was quoting you the
zorim it's going word for word that the
zora says you feel the light and you
start wanting to get closer to it and
that itself is the experience exp why a
person wants to die. This person was
probably not such a bad person. She
wasn't a Russia. So that's what happens.
She said, I started going into this, you
know, this tunnel of light. And at the
end of the tunnel, there was a very very
very powerful light like almost as scary
how powerful it was. And then the light
started asking me if I'm ready to come.
Am I ready to come? Are you ready to
come closer? You or And but she started
thinking but I'm not ready to come. I
don't want to leave my three-year-old
baby. She had another baby also that she
just gave birth to, but she had a little
baby also. And she said I have a
three-year-old baby. She didn't want to
leave and she didn't know what to do but
she was actually being given the option
to to know what to do on one side she
wanted to go but she started getting
scared
I I think and she said in the end of the
day I was given a choice in the end of
the day suddenly she felt herself come
back to her body suddenly boom she came
back to her body most of the people when
they explain coming back it's incredibly
painful because you're so light and
easygoing everything's fantastic and
then suddenly you're back into this
heavy annoying physical
limited body. It's like ah like you just
like you lost all that fantastic
feeling. You understand? It's usually a
very difficult and heavy annoying
feeling which I'm assuming I didn't see
them but I assume they'll speak about it
over here but that's also and this woman
writes and this will finish basically
she says if people knew what death was
like you wouldn't be so scared of death
and she said if you have this feeling of
what type of beauty and what type of
feeling it is you wouldn't be so scared
of death. Now, again, I will end with
this. You have to know she didn't finish
death. She didn't get to see the end of
the tunnel. She came back. Maybe if she
went to the end, she would have been a
little bit more scared. You know what
I'm saying? I'm not saying to be scared
of death. That's not my point. But I'm
trying to say that you have to realize
with all these things that we know, we
know the people that came back. We don't
know the people that didn't came back,
what type of what type of that they had
to go to. For going, I'll finish a few
more stories next time. At the beginning
of next year, we'll make parallels to
what we do and believe we'll see a few
uh near-death experiences. I have one
question.
