Practical Spirituality

just give me another minute okay I got that volume off welcome everybody okay we got you guys on I think we are all set just to hit record wow I'm being such a good boy I'm getting every everyone so I hope today is an interesting class for you all and we're going to be talking about the it's called Judaism versus religion so the a lot of people make the the grave error of calling Judaism a religion and uh and it's not really that big an error because after all you know a lot of religious Jews in the world you know back when I was a young man at Asia Torah and I didn't realize that black attitude Jews like the ultra Orthodox they call them I didn't realize that they're so religious I thought they were like me and um later I found out that they're very religious and so I always I thought when I became observant do you notice that I said when I became a servant and I didn't say when I became religious you got that because I never became religious I'm still not religious um I I've religion is like responsible for all the disasters of all of history and if you look at Jewish history you just won't find us on that long list of disasters I mean we we suffered a lot of disasters we went through a lot of hell but uh you know could can't be we're religion because religions usually cause hell for people it's funny a lot of people think religion created help but there but it's very well said meaning they made it they made life on Earth hell you know for so many persecuted people in the name of some religion um Judaism on the other hand is very libertarian uh what's that done a very libertarian they make they make people actually um the the I mean I guess it's kind of obvious given that you know that Judaism is uh is where you get the creation of Adam and once you have the creation of Adam obviously obviously that's the point of it all you know it's not groups it's not this group of the zagger it's not communism not socialism it's not capitalism it's not it's not patriotism it's not any of that stuff it's the power of the individual and and any amount of governing of those individuals where it encroaches on the encroaches upon the the um freedom of the individual is already anti-torah at that point and the law it's important we have laws you've got to have law but but it has to be laws that you can trace each law to the betterment of mankind in general so for example you can't tell me not to derive you can't tell me not to drive right would everyone agree I should not be told not to drive yeah so the answer is what's up what's this but you can tell me not to drive and you should tell me not to drive you know when that is when the people going the opposite direction sorry on this and you know the the other direction have a green light you should tell me not to drive and I should keep that rule but you know other than that leave me alone so so how does it work out we learn from Genesis that a human being is created in the image of God don't mess with human beings don't mess with them individuals I'm talking about don't start creating group mentality don't start creating um what do they call group identity you know we're this group and we're that group no individuals individuals and the incredible nuclear power plant that every individual is now society's everyone's going to crash into each other okay create lights and make some rules around it so that we don't we don't die you know because I don't want to die either you know I I'm hoping other people are going to stop when they hit their red line and they're hoping I'm going to stop and we can all agree that there's certain things I would love it if that Steve Martin was the actor Steve Martin but whoever you are Steve Martin that joined our group welcome um I'm a big Steve Martin fan anyway the um anyway that's that's human rights you know I was at the sauna recently in New York and some of us see them said to me what do I think about the vaccine you know because they're all you know the casino in New York don't want to take the max and uh also in Lakewood so and here either by the way people are very interested in the vaccine over here at least of the observant Jews everyone else is like all over it they're like they got I think they're putting vaccine in their cereal otherwise but the the um what I want to tell you about oh yeah so they're asking me in the schwitz about the whatever my thoughts were about the vaccine I said you're you you're worried about the vaccine brother it's a vaccines the least of your problems your problem is that your entire lifestyle your lifestyle your kids lifestyle your parents lifestyle your siblings lifestyle your entire community's lifestyle is 100 dependent upon the founding fathers of America that tried a unique experience that you leave people the hell alone and you're worrying about vaccine you know like you're you're you're you are so not American bro you don't even speak English properly and you were raised here like you're you're like you're that you're the first person they're gonna get rid of and you know if we if if if our if our Liberty is based on their emergency which is like such a joke now that mommy crumbs here it's like nice emergency guys you know like but they if based on your emergency we all have to um lose our our individual liberties so then our lifestyle's at stake now and and Jews never did well ever did well in any situation where there was normal political um bodies set up meaning this is the only time this experiment of our modern democracies is the only time ever in our whole history as a nation that we did okay first time like the last you know what 70 80 70 years since the war and but the thing is is when you're used to like blocking 14th Avenue 48th and 14th in front above while we're all doing Kiddush levana and you know we're sanctifying the moon and the cars are like oh in United States of America New York City are planting an obstacle course around all the Jews sanctifying the moon because you got to go out in the street to do it and there's hundreds of us so the you know we don't realize because you get so used to living your life that way you don't realize that that it's a miracle of a of the first time ever that they allowed government by the people for the people for the People by the people Liberty and uh so it's not about vaccines you know vaccines is a money thing it's just a money thing yeah I mean it's nice if it really keeps people from dying I mean that'd be great but God has a sense of humor he he had the virus mutate into something that doesn't kill anyone so it's like okay now what so you told us first of all you told us that we won't get the virus if we take the vaccine okay that's not true then you told us we want to transmit it okay that's not true then you told us that well you won't die well that's not true because you're not going to die without the vaccine for this virus and so it's like get off our back at this point you know leave everybody alone and let's see where this is all going no more pressure but uh they're not going to stop pressuring because this has nothing to do with the virus this is uh this is a you know clearly this technology was around I know everyone wants to believe that they created this overnight they didn't create it overnight they created the volume of doses overnight that they did Fast you want to give them something they created the doses quickly and they created the volume this anytime there's a technology ready to to hit the world you just need the reason to have it hit the world but it's going to hit the world you can't prevent it from hitting the world because it's ready that's why you know we should all be a little nervous about the the metaverse you know that people are going to start living their lives digitally instead of in real time because the Technology's arrived it's not perfected yet but it's here I've heard parents parents have called me and said can you help me with my kid my kids said that they don't want to have regular relationships anymore they just want to live the character that they've created inside their computer they have kids who have children who have said they do not want to have three-dimensional relationships anymore they're done they want to be the character they created online with giant muscles or super beautiful and and voluptuous and and that's who they want to be and and they're happier that way and so this is all created already Facebook's already changed its name to meta for the metaverse meaning it's not like this is a something that is some future issue this is what's happening now in fact you know whatsapp's owned by the company that's created this and you can already buy real estate in um meaning you can start building your home because people are already designing cool stuff for your home that you can only really get in the home that you'll virtually live in if you buy this stuff so people are already it's a whole cup it's a whole thing you can buy a home already and live there so it's um anyway let's go back to our subject so our subject is um is religion versus Judaism and um religion hasn't done a really a very big favor to individual liberty to the liberty of individuals it's group mentality and it's generally created as I said before disaster for anyone who is not willing to be part of it um I know that each religion speaks about peace and love and all that stuff but you know all you got to do is look at the track record just look at the tracker now obviously when it comes to like let's say Christians and Jews the um the majority of Jews have no idea what the Christians did to us but but anyone who's an observant Jew like don't expect don't expect you know them to be so easy going about Christianity you know that we the observant Jews have very long-term memory long-term the rest of the world it's like three days is about the length of the memory you know and that and the media counts on you forgetting everything they said a couple days earlier especially in the last two years when everything flip-flops every couple days but the but yeah I don't recall if I made a broken did anyone hear me make a bracha I made a brother [Music] the but the the observantages are very long-term memory for for observantages the Holocaust was like an hour ago the um Crusades of what we went through under you know the absolute insane massacres I mean they that the Christian made the Nazis look look uh look uh gentle you know like when I say the word Black Sabbath if you're not observant you're thinking of a rock band if you are observant you're thinking of uh verms Mains and spire three massive Jewish communities along the Rhine River of Germany that were filled with the greatest Scholars of all time I mean the the the oral law was really coming through there from the Temple Times through that area of the of the Rhine River in Germany and in one Shabbos every man woman and child was dead in one Shabbos and it's called Black Sabbath and there's actually Germans tradition is not to dress up on that Chavez not to dress shop a stick on that chapter they wear weekday clothing on that channel so yeah if you're a secular Jew it's a rock band because your memory is about three days long but if you're an observant Jew the Crusades were were okay if the Holocaust was an hour ago the Crusades were like yesterday we have a strong memory for what we've been through and it's almost always at the hands of religions no but this isn't about what Jews have been through it's like I mean they they've torn each other to bits tell me when when did Jews turn anymore into bits so people would want to say oh well when you had to come into the land of Israel what Pro the Promised Land called The Promised Land it's not called the promised land for nothing it's called The Promised Land because it was promised Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the fact that there were Nations living there so it wouldn't get overrun with animals wild animals because the Jews were going to be coming to the land and there's a ratio of human human settlement to wild animals you don't have enough people they get eaten you have two you have enough people they the animals keep their distance but had had no one lived in the land of Israel between Abraham's promise and six Generations the Jews come in it's only six Generations by the way it's like it's not a long time Abraham to Sinai Mount Sinai six Generations it's not a big time it was promised to Abraham and six Generations later we came to inherit the land and guess what we had to do with the Canaanite Nations we had to offer them first of all they could peacefully leave no find at all and one of those Nations chose to just go another thing they could peacefully stay but they have to keep the seven laws of Noah which are you know just basically standard morality keep the seven go to heaven and uh they can stay or then the third was they could fight if they want to fight and and you know one chose to stay and one chose to go and the rest chose to fight and that didn't go so hot for them let's just say um but you know then again you know you're going against a nation who could you know you could throw the spear or you could not throw the spear it was still gonna fly into the enemy like you you can you could just sit and watch you know as as the tour says that the Jewish people will be can just be silent and watch watch the magic happen as we got the land but um but you should know that the um the the Torah commanded us not to remove them in one day because in the wild animals would it would take over the land so you had to re we had a seven year um system that during those seven years that during those seven years there would be um there would be um the the those Nations the seven Canaanite nations would move their way out over seven years so that while the animals wouldn't take over the land what is the difference between religion and Judaism did I just say that I'm sorry let's try that again what is the difference between religion and occult what's the name between a religion and a cult ever thought about that before in terms of human religion well guess what the answer is number of people that's the difference meaning if you if we were hiking in the woods yeah we were hike in the woods and we see a cave and inside that cave is we hear noise or whatever and then we we look in the cave we peek into the cave and we see we see nine people bowing down to one person standing like this and they're all saying you are Our God or whatever now would you say that we found a religion or a cult which one that would be a cult so then we hike back down to our little village over there our town and but after a while you're looking around the town you start to see oh my gosh I think the guy's serving ice cream in the ice cream store he was one of those people wasn't he and you're like ah that guy buying screws in the hardware store was also one of them so I realized hey these guys are around we got a cult inside our city okay no big deal except what happens they had they told two friends and they told two friends now it's nine now it's a hundred now it's 200 now now you can't even get a job in your town if you're not part of it you're certainly not going to get an office and that's called socio-economic pressure socials to be able to govern an economic is to get a job and do business is you got to be you know you're gonna have to be part of it and so there's a certain number of people based on a population where when it's really small it's called a cult but as it grows it eventually develops a legitimizing term called religion religion is the legitimizing term you give an oversized cult now think about it take any world religion today and break and bring it down to 10 people you got a cult any world religion today take it down to 10 people you got a cult and what are they believing well each One Believes something else but they're always believing a person there's always us someone you have to believe think about it the the foundation of all those religions every one of them the foundation is you've got to believe that someone's telling the truth that someone's not lying there well why would I believe that they're telling the truth why would I believe that well I wouldn't unless maybe there's a Fear Factor what if I introduce a Fear Factor well what would the Fear Factor be well one where there's two things people are really afraid of you know one of them is death that's a big Fear Factor and the other fear factors um what happens after death sorry I didn't say that right let's go back and I somehow created two fears you have to create a Fear Factor what's the one thing Bieber sorry one thing I said too I'm still getting over uh too much fun what is the What is the one thing that human beings are the most scared of I gave it away already what was it death and so if that's the thing that people are the most afraid of what if I scare The Living Daylights out of them of what's in store for them if they're not part of my religion and what's in store for them if they are what if I just play with the one thing you cannot prove me wrong with now if you're intelligent you just say to me uh hello like have you ever maybe you ought to go to university in marketing and sales because you're not supposed to like shoot right to my greatest fear supposed to actually give me a sense that I'm actually dealing with fats not fear facts are how I make sure you guys make choices but some facts or fear what you want Warren give a thumbs up for facts okay you know I mean there are choices we make for fear but you don't want those to be the big ones you know if your big choices are fear you know oh yeah I'm the merrier because my parents told me to because I'm afraid what I'll have to deal with them I said no you're gonna make a life day you're going to choose that the way you're going to choose you know based on a fear a life decision no way would you ever choose a life decision based on fear you might choose to wear a seat belt based on fear you might choose to keep the speed limit stay in your lane based on true you might learn how to look over your shoulder your blind spot before you change lanes based on fear micro stuff fear macro stuff facts is my life man I gotta spend yeah that's nice that you're letting me know about what's gonna happen after I die because you know God knows what's going to be there but maybe there's nothing there and I got to spend the next 50 years of my life with some some random laundry list of of what I got to do and not do based on the fear that that you may be right well who the hell are you and also who the hell are you that would put anything having to do with afterlife in our first 100 conversations the fact that you want to bring that up early in the relationship is already very very suspicious you understand you're going to start with facts you're going to start with fear if you were trying to influence somebody you start with facts or fear the answer well if you've got facts you start with facts if you ain't got facts you start with fear it's that simple well isn't it interesting the following what I'm about to say now um any of you people ever learned at Asia Torah for a period of time any of you learned there anyone on this group no one here learned today Max did you ever learn there for a period of time I don't know if you yeah a little while okay so we use max even though it's only a little while but you yeah the same answer Max is going to give for uh um the same answer he's gonna give for as little time there I've asked this many times for guys who I asked I said who learned it along and so a guy raises his hand he said I'm learning here 15 years and he's going to answer the same thing you're going to ask for a short period of time uh Max um did you hear a class talk about the afterlife like Helen Heaven meaning what you get for being a good boy did you ever hear a class based on that or did you even hear brought up at Asia no no but um maybe I wasn't there long enough so the answer is it never comes up why because if you got some facts to say and you're interested in influencing someone so say it why because if you're if if I'm gonna create if you're gonna have me live some kind of Lifestyle for some nebulous promise and play on my fear factors okay so that means I've got you know where you want to know where hell is Hell's here why because I got 50 years of like trusting that that we're not like being sold a bill of goods that's 50 years of that whereas if you if you got facts or you're saying whatever's gonna happen afterwards we could talk about but you got 50 years now Mr 20 year old or Miss 20 year old or 25 year old you got 50 years now to fill up what are you gonna fill it up with well let me tell you some facts and we're going to go into those facts in a minute but let me tell you some facts of how to fill your time in this world and there's another reason why we don't bring up the afterlife which I think is important for y'all to know and that is because it is very presumptuous to tell somebody that you know what their afterlife is going to be based on their behavior as our sages tell us you can buy your next World in a moment would I did I say bye you can acquire so I was just literally translating Hebrew but it's you can acquire your world in one minute you can spend your whole life in your drunken debauchery and turn your heart around in one moment of teshua you could also not even repent in that one minute you could be here for totally different reasons all together and the only reason you were brought in this incarnation was to hand someone at just the right hand someone something at just the right time and then all of a sudden he gets sick and dies and he's like okay I don't know why why is this guy dying you know and the answer is because he was only brought here for one thing now that's obviously a really weird thing to do but but we don't understand incarnations so obviously this guy who handed something to someone else at 19 years old and then got sick and died but he was the only one who could have handed it to him and it had to be handed it was very important for whatever Cosmic reason but you might say well that's not fair to the parents the parents have to bury their child and he'll say oh look who knows so much about who's supposed to be doing what those parents it could have been 300 years ago that those parents had some kind of interaction in the world such that they would have to bury their child and come back 300 years later to bury their child and so God didn't want to be cruel to this child so what'd he do he had him have a very simple job here and that was his only job wasn't he kosher wasn't he to keep Shabbat it wasn't to do anything but hand that thing to that person to be that in that pivotal moment in the mountains that day and so we don't understand anything which is another reason why we're not talking about afterlife because who the hell are you talking about afterlife what do you know about what we're doing here and what we're all here for for real we don't know those answers so why would I discuss it do we believe there's an afterlife well it's as sure as you're consciously listening to this class you know your Consciousness will Outlast your body because your conscious doesn't seem to care about your body does it you know there it is all the time you're thinking about a bird okay are you a bird no you're a conscious being thinking about a bird could we Trace you thinking about a bird on a brain scan yes can we Trace that there's a u can we trace the youth thinking about the bird no it doesn't show up on brain scans doesn't show up in MRIs Consciousness is is the second biggest Kasha sorry I never seem to have the right word for Kasha in English it's the second biggest attack on atheists the first biggest obviously is the Big Bang because if you're an atheist having a beginning is a major problem because if you have a beginning it means there was nothing before and nothing makes nothing but the second biggest question on atheists is the fact that you have a conscious being that doesn't show up physically they can't explain consciousness and by the way this is admitted this is admitted meaning they have all kinds of theories they have to theorize because they're stuck but they don't know what you can't they have no idea what Consciousness is it does not show up in the brain and so um I think we're ready a little bit to go a little further now so yeah let's go little further so so what is the difference between religion and Judaism so the difference is is that I'm number one is that facts there's certain facts one of those facts is there's a God but part of those facts of there being a god means just because there's a God doesn't give you any idea what he wants you have no idea what God wants and please excuse me using a gender in 2022 because the only reason we call God he is because the the archetype of masculin is causal and the archetype of feminine is receive so when my wife gives me dinner when I sit down she's in the masculine and when I receive it I'm in the feminine okay this is just the way it goes and God is causing creation to exist we certainly are not doing that so we are all in the feminine that's right all men are in the feminine when it comes to your relationship with God is causing you receiving but of course in Hebrew we we change God's name to the feminine when we give thanks because now we're giving and so God now is referred to in the in the feminine when we're giving things modem so one of those facts is that there is god well that there is God you have to extrapolate but there's we know there's nothing before there's something and since nothing made something so it must be whatever that nothing is it's some kind of Consciousness because if you look at the world it's vibrating in mathematical equations which are clearly showing unconscious there's a conscience in the the world itself is a conscious universe and in fact your Consciousness causes all kinds of crazy stuff so so another cool fact is that not only is there nothing before there's something which is clearly conscious that another reason it's clear and conscious is that there would never be a world if it wasn't because if it if before there was something there was nothing well what's the propensity of nothing it stays nothing nothing doesn't become something it stays nothing but yet here we are in a space-time Continuum you want to tell me that nothing was unconscious how this is conscious it must be whatever that nothingness is some kind of Consciousness well isn't that interesting that the same nothing that's infinite consciousness isn't that interesting that we consciously are contemplating this being with Consciousness and giraffes aren't contemplating this Giraffes Can't contemplate where they're from conscious beings conscious like unconscious things contemplate where they're from and what do we wind up contemplating the fact that before there was something there was nothing and that nothing made something well the only way nothing made something as if it's conscious well isn't that interesting that I have a Consciousness that doesn't take up space in time doesn't show up in an MRI doesn't show up in brain scans then I have a consciousness that can't help but consider that we come from a consciousness oh wow well hmm I wonder where my Consciousness came from oh perhaps it came from that consciousness hmm well that brings us to another amazing part you ready for this let me marmal stand ready dig it to the next level who the hell are you bro are you meaning if if I mean you're quickly not your jacket and you're not your name you have a name but that's not you I mean you certainly like one flavor over another okay fine but we could probably Trace that back to something that happened when you were a kid or something like who are you in the end who you are it's this conscious being okay well what's that when we had done no we just know it transcends time and space oh so who are you answer begins with a G Dash d except you're not God but yet your Consciousness is because he could he must have like a really big Consciousness and he took a little scooper and put a little in each one of you you know everyone got a little scoop of God inside of them foreign and built you're built you're born with a with a fiber optic link to the infinite you're born with a fiber optic link to the infinite which is only circumvented by your thoughts only circumvented by your thoughts in other words your thoughts are the enemy now you can have thoughts that aren't enemy there's three types of thoughts there's thoughts of holiness those aren't the enemy there's thoughts of like you know neutral stuff like business and stuff could be an enemy it depends how much real estate you want to give it you know it could be an enemy it could kind of take over how do you know because when you're doing your thoughts of Holiness do they you get bombarded by thoughts of money that's business that's you know you know relationships like are you getting bombarded because you gave up too much real estate and it's and it's encroaching on your holy thoughts and then there's obviously uh forbidden thoughts we have plenty of those as well and are and so and so you have Consciousness which is part of God then you have thoughts well thoughts are clearly the enemy because that's what can get in the way of your fiber optic link to God so how do you make sure your thoughts don't mess you up the answer is this start filtering what you're willing to think about tread lightly on your soul be gentle what are you willing to think about everything has a time that it's permitted so maybe you can think about it then or now or but like you want to be careful with your mental real estate you know what I call it I call it mental hygiene both the dental hygiene it's mentality and and it's it's not so hard to monitor all you got to do is just see when you're in a holy moment like for example we'll be coming up to Shabbat in a few days and you pray just check out your thoughts like are you staying in are you staying engaged in your prayers you can do it on a weekday prayer too but shabbat's like the real acid test because because you're not even you're not even allowed to speak about business all the neutral stuff's out on Shabbat you're not allowed to really go there no no speak about it and all that you got to keep keep yourself in in the holiness so if when you get quiet on Shabbat for your prayer and you're you're getting hijacked by thoughts that have I got hijacked last Shaman I'll tell you and I Got Hijacked because I've been an addict for the not an addict but a bit of an addict for the um the this giant sporting event you guys know there's a giant sporting event going on on the whole globe right now I keep tuning in to see this car it's the event it's between the civil liberty people versus the uh the regime that wants to take away our civil liberties and the somehow somehow in the last period of time they you know the they stopped canceling as many of the civil liberty types so so they're gaining ground sadly they could just be turned off at any time because we all saw them turned off until uh by became president everyone got shut down at least till he was president after he was President they started letting everyone back onto Twitter and back onto YouTube and back onto Facebook and you got to come back but um do you guys remember that even that people were sending emails where any word that would catch you they would put a you know like a a number or something in the middle of the word so the algorithms would catch you mentioning a word that so you wouldn't get thrown off of something is we're already we already forgot that happened with our three-day memory you know we're already back to freedom of speech but how long is that going to last you know how long how long you think this will last but anyway I've been a bit of an addict keeping the score and I realized while I was in my prayers on Shabbat I was thinking about about the um you know just maybe without me Crum our team's gaining ground you know and I'll be crown the the uh civil liberty people are gaining ground and that was my thought on Shabbat and I stopped right there and I was like that's what you're going to think about right now the middle of prayers and I stopped and I went right back to my prayer book and reconnected to reality so anyway but I noticed that I didn't stop so I gotta oh by the way you know when I you know when this all happened when I said the words [Music] purify my heart to serve you in truth that's when I was thinking about the score keeping between the civil liberty people and the and the zombies and it was uh and by the way you should know I'm not anti-vaxx I'm not anti the corona vaccine or any of that stuff there I'm only civil liberties that's all I'm talking about is civil liberty civil right that's my thing um by the way would there have been a Yom took Glazer if there wasn't an America with their video Until Glazer if there wasn't a California with like extreme civil liberty now it's all the opposite but you understand would I be would I have ever thought to become an observant too if I wasn't raised knowing that that me as an individual it can be self-determining whatever dreamed of becoming an observant Jew would you be listening to this class right now you understand so when I see civil liberties getting encroached you know what I feel like I feel like I'm the uh this I feel like I'm this being that like can't touch a certain chemical but if it touches me I start to melt and and then I disappear and so meaning like in some sci-fi movie where there's this thing that you can't get near and if I get near it I melt into nothing you know what that is that is any encroachment on civil liberty and freedom of speech self-expression self-determination autonomy you get what I'm talking about if you notice I keep not saying human rights I'm being careful with that word because that's that's the word that's been abused by beyond belief in the last two years right rights are what has had all of us apologizing now and the um it's a whole amazing subject and we're not going to talk about it now you understand what I'm talking about when it comes to why so if you're if you're expressing yourself jewishly in some way or another if you're Jewish listening to this particular episode even though you may not be this civil liberty Yamato Glazer Europe I just know your entire lifestyle of your you your community your family requires how heaping heaping amounts civil liberties requires that we've never done well and we're we are Target number one Jewish people who are observant are Target number one they just walk around with a Target on their forehead when when Society turns you know group mentality as opposed to civil liberty you know what's ironic about all this you don't say running about this Avi ation you know what's ironic is is that the um is that the the ultra Orthodox Community you know the black hat world is so not in the individuality it's really funny because we're we're we're capitalizing or taking advantage of a country that's all about the individual so therefore you can't mess with anyone and then and then we live in full group mentality with with no no like fertilizing and watering and sun shining Sun onto individuals like none of that you're you're it's total heard you know mentality and we only exist because because the the nation that founded us were Bible people called the call they were the Bible people called the uh founding fathers were Bible people and they saw in the Bible that that man's created in the image of God and you can't mess with that there is inalienable rights and so our community only exists based on that because we've as you don't have to be a history buff to know what the hell we've been through but go ahead and Google it you know I don't know put in uh put in history of Jewish massacres or put in history of Jewish um Exiles or expulsions that's a better word history of Jewish expulsions they go go get a five-minute education on YouTube or something and you'll see what we've been through so we exist in the civil liberties of the individual when but yet but yet living full group mentality it's ironic you think about that isn't crazy what is wrong with this victory I'll tell you this much though you know I've raised a very I've been raising still raising not very you know devouted devout devoted Hasidic family very devoted kind of each of my kids it's like oh my gosh they're gonna they're gonna take whatever I gave them is they're gonna put yeah they're gonna put me in their back pocket you know think where I got to learning Olive bed at 23. imagine being raised by me dipped in my home I mean these kids are gonna be like you know Monsters of of you know changing the world so so the um so what I wanted to say about it was the um oh so I I sent my my oldest son when it was his turn to go to Yeshiva um I sent them actually to Europe to Belgium to Yeshiva called vilreich Yeshiva [Music] I sent him that is the third time someone's calling him and make sure it's not an emergency so um anyway I sent him to to the uh to Europe and he spent his first week there and I asked him after the first week because we spoke on the phone and I said I said so what's it like in exact screen I said but what's it like being raised in our house versus all the kids you're meeting in these yeshivas they're from like these kids were either from Belgium from Stamford Hill um some communities in other communities in Europe he said I realized that you raised each one of us as if we were your only child that's what he said raised each one of us as if we were your only child in other words individual individual and we really did it and you want to know something I was driving up North yesterday with my 18 year old son um and he said to me what's better for my kids you know I'm gonna have to raise kids should I raise them like you raised to us where we get to just fully discover ourselves and be choosers be awake be be you know like like just yeah we gave them a lot a lot of slack with we give him a lot of rope to go figure themselves out with should I raise my kids like that oh no Bruce asked me he says he says if you if you if you had raised me the way the kids who I grew up with in our Hasidic Community if you'd raised me like them he says do they ever wake up and I said yeah they all wake up like they get married around 18 and and they they wake up somewhere I don't know they're like 25 26 they finally look at their father-in-law and their parents and like it's not going to live my life for these people what's life on that and then they start waking up and they have this whole like what's Life about he says he says you know you took a major risk raising us as individuals if we were going to wake up anyway in our mid-20s 30s if we're going to wake up anyway why didn't you just take take the robot route of the rest of our community why don't you just do the robot route and play it safe and he says what should I do with my kids do I take the risk or do I or or should I Robot them and knowing they're gonna like wake up one day from the dream of their you know brainwash so I didn't have an answer for him but I I did say to him that that um that you know keeping the Mitzvahs as a Jew keeping the Commandments means nothing if you didn't choose it doesn't mean anything if you didn't choose it so there's a lot of Mitzvahs that are done between Bar Mitzvah Bat Mitzvah and 25. you know you're willing to let go of that you're willing to have those myths does not really mean much because they weren't based on anything other than religion and that's what I said at the very intro this whole class was was that I thought when I was at Asia tour because everything was facts and so I thought the only religious Jews I knew were reformed Jews why because there they are lighting their Hanukkah candles they have no idea why because they're religious they're the religious Jews we're not religious we're observant Jews we observe the realities there's realities on the ground a human being couldn't have written those books those books aren't writable by humans I'm not going to go into those details but there's three major subjects is there gutters they're not a god which I've been discussing I have been discussing that lately then there's um is the Torah man written or God written meaning are we believing an individual like religions or where was the whole nation there you're here and I remember the difference between religion and occult is how many people do you know many people were at the foundation of Judaism well we know one thing they did an actual census that there were six hundred thousand able-bodied men well when you count all the kids you count all the elderly and you count all the women you're at three million three million people there nobody's coming out of a cave for you to believe something it's three million people and three million people you know it's like how do you make that up and also you can make it up but don't say they were there you understand don't say there were three men drop that part drop the three million people part at Mount Sinai why because you could never you could never create it how would you ever introduce the religion hi um okay you may not know about this but uh you're a great great great grandparents murder okay and it's not that far back don't forget to go from um we already have we already know the Jews were in Israel right after the Mount Sinai experience and for example just go to King David that's what is that uh 300 years from Sinai is King David is that right yeah about 300 yeah maybe a little less 200 guys I don't remember how many sorry I'm not good with that but a couple hundred years we have coins of King David okay we have like he was the king the king of Israel and Israel Israel you only could have 200 years that you have to go into some Town find the people and tell them that they're the grandchildren yeah oh you're the great great grand or you're the great great like you're not going very far and then they'll be like yeah the great great grandchildren of who uh people who experienced um the most massive unique prophetic experience surround sound Omni vax omnifex Omni Max Dolby 3D LSD Blow Away experience in the history of humanity thank you and I'm Sinai you can't just walk into a town and tell them that they were that they're the grandchildren of a population of three million people when not one person in any of that Community it knows what the hell you're talking about and inside that book it's got like oh and by the way put on these black boxes I've never seen any black box what are you in a black boxes no well you know you're going to go up to your Uncle Joe who's like you know 70 years old and say Uncle Joe and there's this dude telling us that we were somewhere that I never heard we were there but I'll ask you like were we there because you're two generations above me so where are we there he'd be looking at you like what and let me see that book he opens up the book and he turns randomly to um the fact that you can't plant for an entire year what are we going to die and then and then the next line says the next line says oh and when you wonder what you'll eat on the S on the seventh year and the eighth year till you harvest if you wonder what you're gonna eat during those years well I'm going to focus my blessing on the sixth year and give you a triple crop T throughout the sixth year the whole seventh year and the eighth year until you harvest is that's what's in the book of the guy who says we were somewhere we weren't a couple Generations after Mount Sinai you understand like you can't make that kind of stuff up so unlike a real unlike religion that when you boil it down you get a cult and you have to believe somebody and of course they're going to hold the afterlife as the key to the whole tradition you got Judaism that only talks about facts never would be presumptuous about afterlife never harm anybody just come to the world to teach peace love and the power of individuality a tradition that teaches that that we were there something you could never ever implement and then go ahead and civilize the planet did you know that if you line up the Jewish people who are at Mount Sinai if you line them up and turn them into a nation and then you just go to Nobel prizes so meaning you make America be a nation you got to remove all the Jews that kind of Nobel Prize it Russia as a nation and you've got to remove all the Jews because they're going to get their own their Nation We're a nation fact that the guy was in the former Soviet Union when he got his Nobel Prize doesn't make him not part of the Jewish Nation if he just gave us our own column for a nation in Nobel prizes for helping the world did you know that where America ends and where Russia ends in their name list to show that the truth you can just you could tape down your scroll button because it'll just keep going and going and going and going you can go online and check it out it just keeps going and going going it's crazy and yet we're forgiving you know the terrorists who came in to hold those people hostage in Texas the the first thing the rabbi did was make him tea you know before he realized he was about to be held hostage you know and you will make the terrorist tea you know Muslim walks into a synagogue he gets tea okay I'm going to take questions I could keep going you guys know that we could just keep going and going again so I'm going to take a few questions I think I'll start with YouTube today got a hello um no I'm not gonna talk about seminal retention right now um but um maybe another time Shalom I'm glad I get to catch one of these live great glad you're with me I wish I knew how to tell YouTube that it's gonna happen um here's one Romeo until Glazer um do Gentiles I also have soul mates you bet they do yeah Gentiles have soul mates and they have a different rules regarding uh the Jews have very very strict rules of how you bond with a soul mate and release that soul mate if things don't work out if you don't do those you stay bonded meaning if you don't bond right it doesn't Bond that's one thing it's here married like civilly but you never bonded see there's certain things you must do to create the bond and without it it doesn't create the bond but there's also what if someone created the bond meaning they did the things that you need to have to create the bond but then um but then they did a civil divorce guess what they're bound forever still um it's a little looser though for Gentiles Gentiles have to live in committed relationships committed relationships um having a civil marriage is such a great great sign of meaning having an actual marriage is such a a sign of that commitment and it's highly recommended but it's not it doesn't make the difference whether you're bound you're bound together because you both committed whether there's Witnesses no Witnesses you're it's a lot easier to be bound together and also to release that that Bond if things didn't work out also um does it require a bunch of you know like kabbalistic detail it's just to make a decision that you're not going to stay together and um and then move on to the next person who you'll be fully committed to um uh yeah so I'm going to check out that article Navi um can you resend it so it gets back to the top I mean you just put an arrow and by the way anyone who whatsapps me um if you ever WhatsApp me uh I'll give you my number again um if you WhatsApp me make sure you if I don't answer you probably because you know my WhatsApp got bombarded by some other people and that's okay just don't get dramatic just send it again a day later like 24 hours later so I put my number there on YouTube and um and then put it here on Zoom as well well we don't have to I think the Zoomer is knowing my number more or less oh no they don't so not everyone I do WhatsApp and I just really please ask you to to return uh to send an arrow at 24 within 24 hours if it's urgent and you need it that day two errors yeah that lets me know this is like because what happens is if it gets Avalanche by other messages it brings it right back to the top also um I don't know who's watching this but I would like to take this do you guys realize uh have you ever think about it when I speak that it would be good if I were on some of those big podcasts out there do you understand that I'm I'm articulate in those same subjects but you'll never get someone who looks like me with my background on the big podcast you know with like uh Joe Rogan or uh or Jordan Peterson you know Joker can just interviews people but but you realize that he would have a good time interviewing me we would have a good time tonight we have the we have the same exact background we're from the same time we're both Surfers we're the exact same age and and we both are like take no prisoners you know we just say it say it as it is we'd have a there's a couple other things we haven't come but I'll leave those nameless right now but we're uh we're like I feel like we're meant to be together the two of us but I have no idea I'm so busy running my seminars and just letting everybody know I'll be in New York um starting Saturday go to my website rabbiomto.com and click on the possible you and get registered to the seminar um that's going on in New York on um Sunday is going to be a men's seminar Sunday Tuesday Wednesday and then the following week on the 30th will be the women's seminar Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday those are all non-work hours we're going to be spending 25 hours together to go to the real truth of reality it's not like these classes these classes are we're discussing um world view and not a lot of worldview there it's called the possible you um and then I'm doing an executive Mission um that week the same week the women's seminars going on Monday Tuesday Wednesday I don't know if she let me want to be part of that or maybe Max I don't know but the the uh it's we're going to be doing the mission um it's uh but this particular one's going to be executive it's like brunch and like a little bit on the fancy side it's going to be like 15 dedicated people to come to it um and the mission is what's your mission in life we actually can get to literally pinpoint your mission while you're here there's nothing to do with how you make a living and with your family and then your mission what's your legacy on this planet I'm going to be running that in a much more affordable way this is kind of a we're starting with an executive one I'm not sure why but we are um and then I'll take a few more questions um is it good for Gentiles to study Kabbalah so traditionally Gentiles didn't study Kabbalah um it happens to be that there's certain Gentile Traditions with which have a like a truckloads of cabal involved for example um Eastern Traditions like Hinduism Buddhism I have like truckloads of mysticism so is that not come along I think that's Kamala but to study the Jewish Kabbalah it's actually uh frowned upon for Gentiles to study it um I don't know if that's still the case because we don't have really rabbis big enough today to make that decision um but today Gentiles are much more versed in the esoteric and so and so maybe yes but the only tradition I know about is that Gentiles are not to study Kabbalah and the next is uh really appreciate your generosity in letting us ask questions about them um Shalom Rabbi oh someone asked me to con to discuss converting to Judaism yeah so I mean you got to be nuts to do that um converting to Judaism is like you know I mean it's just such a crazy thing to do and yeah you gotta be like suicidal but once in a while you meet someone who's like you know like if the rabbi the conversion rabbis would say you know if you convert you're going to be killed tomorrow for being Jewish if you'd still convert then yes you should convert to Judaism you know but but otherwise why would you bother I mean there's God is so awesome like it doesn't require it doesn't require you to be a Jew for you to freak out on how awesome Hashem is and if you want to freak out on how awesome Hashem is listening to yesterday's class that's what we did yesterday anyway don't be don't be uh OCD like why do you gotta keep why do you have to keep 613 Commandments with which breaks down to 000 laws like we like you shared normal like you really want to be part of that so it's enough just to be into a God God's amazing like that it's like why make yourself crazy and uh and then you're gonna be like then you're gonna cover and then you're like you don't really accept accept me and then we're gonna you're gonna get all dramatic about whether the Jews accepted it's like spare yourself the agony my goodness like and then your kids you know you know these days trying to get your kids in uh into the Jewish schools it's like we're just we're in no condition to be like properly respecting and honoring converts the way they deserve converts deserve tremendous respect tremendous honor they should be they should be you know put on a pedestal for for their incredible self-sacrifice to become a Jewish and we're so not geared for that like I'm personally geared for that but I don't have a community I'm a Street rabbi so like if you run into me you're always going to get a hug you know but but I can't like admit your kids into the school that doesn't admit you know and by the way I don't think it's like they don't admit Converse they don't admit the kids of of people who rate raise secular who Jewish Jews are became observant are also the on the outside looking in you understand it's like just bury yourself the agony if you can but you may not be able to spare yourself it could be here it's a monkey on your back and you're not going to be okay until you finally give the monkey something to say and it says I do meaning I'm converting so if the monkey wants to convert I'm not going to stop it but um and it's quite an adventure by the way you have no idea what happens when you convert it's crazy stuff starts happening to converts that's like nutty stuff I knew a converter just could converted and got sick and die you know he was so clear he was like just had to convert and that was the end of my life and that was all I needed he said it told it to me he's told it to everybody just had to convert and then he was going to get sick and die and he'd die as a Jew and that was his thing he was perfectly happy with it it's crazy um okay let me see how much I can handle the rest of these questions here so there's a bunch of good questions today we did good with questions um Can a Jewish Soul be born into a gentile body is that a thing you bet it's a thing those are the converts the the our sages tell us that anyone who converts to Judaism I'm not talking about you know you know Christina cross converts to Judaism to marry her her Beverly Hills Jewish boyfriend not that one none of the real converts are um they are so our sages tell us that though they that they are incarnated from meaning their soul was at Sinai their soul was inside um can you discuss converting jobs and I did that is oh we did that I really appreciate yes um so good oh hello um how you doing um oh here's someone Lara says I'm a sworn Noah and that means she keeps the seven and she's into God and I try to study Kamala he's very hard to understand yeah it's very hard to understand I apologize you know on behalf of the kabbalists but they didn't they created it in a way that it wouldn't be bad for people so they It Was Written very cryptically and you can't really understand without a teacher who guides you in it um but nevertheless there's uh plenty to glean um and then uh oh someone said oh we get these people who think we're supposed to come back to to Jesus by the way um I want everyone to know that even though I spoke strongly about religion today I I do not expect that someone who's had a Divine encounter with anything anything with with Jesus or with an idol or if you're a Hindu he had a Divine experience with a cow right now in India everyone's having a Divine experience with a cow because a cow was born with three eyes so it's like this huge thing going on in India um I would never ever speak to anyone in a derogatory way when they themselves have had an intimate spiritual experience intimate spiritual experiences require no logic you understand once you've had that and by the way what do you think's easier to have an intimate spiritual experience with God or with an intermediary which one would you say and everyone's muted so put your thumbs up for inter for God which one's easier have an in a spiritual connective experience with an infinite being or with an intermediary thumbs up for intermediary yes intermediary it's a hell of a lot easier and so but once you've had it once you've had that it's incontrovertible and there's a term for this that's used it's usually used in the Psychedelic Community but it's called noetic noetic is where you know something even though you could never explain it and it makes no logical sense but it's noetic you know I gotta I got a WhatsApp last week that some guy some guy did psychedelics and he discovered that he is God and no obviously it was it was this was a high IQ got guy so yeah but then the medicine wore off what he realized was God's within him you understand but he still had a noetic thing that that's you can't argue with it it's incontrovertible because there's no logic there's no words for it you had a direct experience is that clear so um so it's important that people realize that whenever I discuss religion I'm being very very um uh empiricistic and logical I'm speaking as in logic I'm not speaking in no about your subjective noetic experience and by the way I've had plenty of noetic experiences both with the Creator and in with and in states of mediums I'm not forbidden ones obviously because you know Jews keep it super clean and the uh but I've witnessed it I've witnessed it and I've specifically been in a state where I said that's not my connection my connections there but boy was I seeing how that connection would be a lot more tangible than an infinite being oh my God way more tangible and that now you have the noetic thing and now you think everyone else has to have it that's just the nature of the Beast yeah that's just nature of things but um but today we're speaking very logically and and I would never put down someone's noetic experience [Music] um commit the commit I'm not going to answer this question but it was why is it that the Jews should want to keep the Commandments but no one else first of all Jews do not want to you mean why do Jews have to um the it's a that's a very kabbalistic answer it's too much for right now and you can feel free to ask it again put it at the top of tomorrow's class or whatever um it's a specific thing um I like what nausea mesh said is we lack respect for converts because we lacked love for the most high that's so well said Nasir very well said and um but we don't blame the people who lack love for the most high because the only way you can love is if you're if you're um if you're safe to be vulnerable there there's very few people in the Jewish Community are safe to be vulnerable after you know their history there's a major major Collective um pain would uh Eckhart Tolle would call the pain body what I call him a possible you the misery comfort zone but you you it becomes cumulative General transgenerationally in communities and once your pain body or your misery Comfort Zone's high enough you cannot truly love and so that also will affect your love for God and once you don't have love for God so then good luck loving the convert which is a commandment to love the cover it's one of the 613. um going on why isn't everyone born June everyone was born Jewish until uh meaning everyone was born a child of Adam until um things went South you know with the flood and the terror Babel and and then God decided to switch gears and go for a pilot Nation where you you realize that God created the world for the world not for some Jewish Nation it was created for the world but you know when we got to when we got to 1948 from Adam which is used to remember because that's the founding in the state of Israel when we got to 1948 God decided to switch gears and uh and it had been 10 Generations of idolatry After the flood I was like God's just like forget this and we're not gonna have everyone be chosen we're gonna we're gonna create a pilot Nation through Abraham do a little breeding process breed out Ishmael which is 20 Generations at that point because Adam to to know as 10 generations and know what uh Abraham's ten Generations so 20 Generations breed off to Yeshua ale using a Canaanite for a very you know yeah has it oriented and then we're going to do to so that there can be a Yitzhak who is purely umura I'm not translating it and then we're gonna head to a 20-year filter filtration breeding process from Yitzhak to create a a um to filter off 20 generations of gavora into Asaf the the twins Jacob and Esau so that there could be an ace of it and then the second born will be Jacob who's going to be right in the middle and he's going to have the 12 tribes they're going to go into slavery they're going to learn how to serve as opposed to as opposed to Rebel which is idolatry and they'll learn how to serve at the uoe the University of Egypt and then they'll have all these play there will be plagues and mirror splitting Z's and then the THX surround sound Rendezvous the only place in the world you could tell three million people a secret the Sinai desert and I bless everyone to go visit the signing that it's amazing amazing place no one knows where Mount Sinai itself is because it's a small Mountain surrounded by bigger ones and no one knows where it is because there's a lot of those scenarios in Sinai although they do have a monastery a Christian Monastery on a Giant Mountain but they didn't because they don't know World tradition they didn't know it was a small humble Mountain like the small humble Moses who received the Torah anyway um the um but we were all born Jewish so to speak it was only because things went South that God decided to run things through US pilot Nation by the way the pilot Nation blew it went through hell as a result we we didn't the Jews didn't pull it off we blew it and God destroyed the whole orb of light that we were supposed to be a light to the Nations he knew it to Smithereens put a little spark of light in every those are the Nobel Prize types put a spark in every Jew but every Jew because every Jew only prays for peace put a spark in every Jew and sent us an exile so okay you can't be an orb of light you blew the being an example for the world okay so so go go out there and Seed the world with with moral virtue with the Commodities seed the world see what happens now we're already in stage four stage four is the rebuilding of Israel in the back into the land going back into the land interest people maybe I'll play also you guys want a song I'm not going to answer more questions now we'll play a little song and then I'm gonna go y'all want a song oh my zipper's broken here we go man I'm gonna do a little song put the mic in the middle uh Max you'll tell me how my balance is trying to gain a little bit drink a little water see if I'm in tune hey Siri open Guitar Tuna come on man foreign [Music] by the way Jerusalem is freezing right now it below [Music] I feel so bad I'm gonna hear something crazy the whole country turned on a drip of water throughout the night so they're so they're solar water on the roof Israel does solar heating for water so that it shouldn't freeze and break you know it's so expensive to have that thing burst the ice forms and forms to burst so when things thaw out in the morning you start seeing water from all the burst pipes but guess what the only ones who have burst bursted uh solar water things are the heredium the the black hat world you know why because they're not on internet so they have no idea what the weather's going to be which is really tribal and cool and ancient to like have no idea whether it's going to rain or snow or worm they have no idea like let's see what God brings you know it's like totally living in the moment but uh the rest of Israel turned on a drip on their water so it wouldn't so when um crack so I have like the poorest neighbors like several of them have you know thousands of dollars not thousand thousands of shekels like it's like two three thousand shekels to get that thing fixed up actually you know what it shouldn't be that much but it's probably like close to a thousand and they need someone to diagnostically figure out where all the cracks are and stuff but there's plenty of them um speaking of which event when everyone wants to help people right now I have two totally destitute people who all both have you know good jobs and education but they're making weddings I told them I would help out so this is my this is me helping out so if anyone would like to be um to help out people making winnings if you saw these two you just wouldn't believe it and one's a mayor in mayor sharing which is like the most tribal part of Israel and in Jerusalem he's I don't know if you guys have seen this um but those of you who visited Israel who were with me you ever seen a mayor showing you'll see these what like white blonde I see them from told us I'm like super white with white eyes they almost start albino they're not albino though but they're super blonde there's completely Nordic for sure they had major genetic Nordic genes of some kind of converts anyway but they're part of told us iron anyway one of them is uh one of those beautiful juices it's an old friend of mine because my wife created over 100 micro businesses for poor families to make to make a living and one of them was called the Jerusalem sewing cooperative and his wife managed these seamstresses and she created micro businesses for all these women okay here we go anyway so I haven't heard from him in 10 years but now he's uh already oh man how am I gonna do this people are still joining the zoom and I want to admit them but I got to play my strings here we go the Hebrew of this song is from Zion the the Torah comes out of Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem because the from Zion comes the Torah Ki mitsian Torah Hashem and the word of God from Jerusalem got it yeah you can learn the words if you're not Jewish so try this hebrewsion because from Jerusalem comes the Torah the Torah comes out Hashem and the word of God from Jerusalem this song

we [Music] are surfing [Music] people of the opposite gender if you're a young kid [Music] after about a few weeks here for months you like wake up one day I feel like why am I not interested in that anymore and you finally realized we were just distracting yours distracting yourself because the soul when it's fulfilled it's like restlessness in your heart and when you live in Jerusalem foreign you can choose to go ride your Mountain Bike and Go crank some music but [Music] it is the most organic place like you know if you're if you're Jewish you can see yourself like a fruit tree and your organic soil is the land of Israel it's amazing all these years receiving people watching the Brokenhearted become how many people came broken-hearted in their home their home how many were addicted to drugs just dropped it [Music] right there in the city of gold this perfect stranger finally feels at home you can sing with me everyone [Music] Underground [Music] show me why I'm glad I got to

close it up and protect my strings it was amazing being with everybody hope you loved it um and I hope it's refreshing to hear people say things true not that I think I'm the one who says things that are true um but I hope that I approached truth as close as possible um I also stand on the shoulder of giants because I got to spend all these decades here people hammering out these topics people way smarter than me and I hope I do them Justice when I share the words with y'all but thank God for technology and we should always use it for the good happens show them everybody lots of love and let me know anyway you can be part of my life you know where I could be partners shalom
