Rabbi Alon Anava is live! - Sacred time - Kabbalistic approach to time management - Boca Raton, FL

You tell me when it's good. >> First lecture. Florida. [applause] If you would know what I had to go through to come here. I measure I measure uh how powerful the lecture will be according to how many difficulties to get here for the two individuals next to the tripod. Please try not to kick it. Last two lectures somebody kicked it and the lectures of a wall. So, as I said, I measure I measure the power of a lecture based on the difficulties to to get there and to make it happen. So, before we start, we're going to dedicate the class to a few special mishot. It's okay. Tonight, we're going to talk about time. We have a lot of time. Time is what all we have by the way. Okay. So bizm this class and every mitzvah that's going to come out of it and every effort that came to this event should be an effect of first of all honoring to Moshe David Ben Shimon and B and Bommo all should have aliyah and should have from their kids and grandkids here in this world and with them all the need aliyah. Also we're going to dedicate to Le Ben Elisha Benalia and Benitana but Miriam for I should have an immediate recovery and a fast recovery and actually I was now delayed because I got such bad news about a good good friend of mine who's a rabbi here in Florida that's very very very sick. We'll add him also to the and I should have and unfortunately there's such a every day I hear horrible things what's going on miss everybody should have good health >> and some peace and quiet in the heart and in the mind some success some some And before we start, thank you Darren for organizing such an amazing event. We didn't know how many chairs to bring. So somehow exactly 72 chairs, but it looks like it's much more than that. Maybe we started with 72 72 names of Hashem. But like I told you to get to make an event she would know what goes on in the background to bring an event to happen. And on that we want to talk about something so precious and so uh unique which of course you know the title the title is about time and since we don't have much time I'm going to get straight to the topic and straight to the uh class itself. Please try. I know it's very hard to hold your questions till I'm done. We'll have enough time. I will give some time for key questions and answers. But please don't start raising your hands. We're going to talk about some pretty uh deep concepts and I will try my best at the end to do some questions and answers. My humble request is if you can put your phones on silence or airplane mode or throw them to the pond here. Whatever makes you uh not pay attention to this little buzzing device that is bothering you all your life. We'll talk about that today too. Ah, I almost forgot. We have a lot of people online. Can you hear me? Well, can you see me well? If you can give us some thumbs up. That's not a thumbs up. It's very entertaining to see what people are writing. People are writing there like as if I'm in the middle of the lecture. Somehow I'm also reading the the comments. So I'm talking and my other nishama is reading the comments and processing. People are telling me stories, their questions. Guys, I don't read the comments right now. Okay. Thank you for the thumbs up. Moashem do. So thank you all for coming. First lecture in Florida Hashem. Haven't been to Boker Radon for a long long long time. So I know it's going to be a very special lecture, powerful lecture. We spoke chose an amazing topic and a topic that I wanted to talk about for many many many many years because of two reasons. Reason number one, I'm pretty sure that all of you may know that about 25 years ago, what changed my life was that I went through a near-death experience. I got cardiac arrest after a strong abuse of drugs. My heart stopped uh for 7 minutes and I had a what's called an NDE, a near-death experience, and went up to the heavens and experience what uh is almost impossible with the human mind to understand. And for the ones of you who heard the lecture, you maybe remember that right from the beginning I explained about the concept of time. If you didn't hear the lecture, then I highly recommend that you go and watch it after this one. But the first thing that came about to my understanding in my experience was that there wasn't any time. The first thing that I experience as a nishama as a soul is the fact that only this world is bound to time and the spiritual world there's no such thing as time. So that's the first reason why I wanted to do this class for many many years. Second reason is is that with uh with the time of me being active online, I have thousands and thousands and thousands of students and followers and I get in that amount messages from people. I meet people. I talk to people. Five years ago, 10 years ago, it was much easy. People had my personal number. Now it's in hundreds of messages per day. Sometimes I answer hundreds of messages per day. And sometimes people will send messages and they wait two three weeks or even more. And in most of the cases they will get an answer from one of my admins. There's no time. There's just no time. I wish I would have much more time. I wish I could go to the reality like this. Like you go on your phone and enlarge the time and have much more minutes per day. But the reality is that with that volume of interacting with people, I come to very very clear conclusions about many different individuals and as a whole I am my own chat GPT. I question myself and my system spits out answers and I'm very curious about what's going on with everything that I do. How many people listen? Where they listen from? What what's the results? Because we need to constantly become better and better. So I can tell you I gave a class literally Shabbat about difficulties in parasa money all that I highly recommend you go and watch it if you haven't and over there I have explained many different powerful concept but in that lecture I explained the fact how one can if there was much more time for us to do things how much more you would be productive But I explained there in in that lecture about a certain concept that we all are obligated it's called that to give 10% of our earnings and I have mentioned in the volume of amount of people who are sending messages I can tell you that from my check and whatever I do my statistics barely 0.00 00 something percent of people were asking me questions about masot in the last two years I see in percentage the what people ask and I can I have my own statistics 89% of people ask about this about zir marital relations I can tell you my my statistics but why am I telling you this because I can see that from most people my interactions most people their level of productivity is this it's like In we say it's like it's you have 24 hours a day. What are you what are you pushing in that's 24 hours a day? Most people don't do much. I can tell you that from my observation 90% of your day is wasted and needless to say how it's pulling you back. And I'll explain tonight the whole concept. And more than that, I'm going to have to share with you a few private details about myself because I can only teach about myself. I can only give examples about myself. And it's easier for me to do that. And of course, I'm trying to do that all in an educational way, not in any other way to pass on the information. But my life is very, very busy. A lot of people don't realize the level of how busy my life is and when especially when they're trying to get a hold of me or communicating with me and it's not because I want to because the khu gave me as I have heard and learned a certain term a few months ago he gave me many hats to wear met a businessman a few months ago who knew me for many years just as a rabbi and I started interacting with him in some business adventure he's like oh I didn't know you do business and then he told Oh, I see you're a man of many hats. In the beginning, I didn't understand what he's telling me. Many hats. I don't even wear one hat. What do you mean many hats? But then I understood the concept. And 100% of what I teach is based on my own experience and knowledge. If I teach straight from the from the book, then that's straight from the book. But most of my classes are my life, my experience, my learning, what how I practically put it down to action. and then I can come and give it over after I tested it many many times. So if I tell you something, A, it's based off what I've learned. B, I applied it and more important it works. If it doesn't work, I wouldn't teach. So for whatever reason, I'm not arguing the master of the universe. Hashem gave me many, many, many hats and I'm all day long juggling on completely different platforms. My first and most dominating hat is that I'm a observant Jew. That's the most important thing. That's the center of everything. That's the pillar that is holding the entire system is the fact that I'm an observant Jew. And the term that I just told you is the most important term because people call themselves orthodox, casidic, reform, modern, ultra. This [snorts] is all nonsense. You either observe the mitzvot or you don't or you observe some of them or you observe most of them or that's it. There's no other way to say it to define yourself to put yourself in some definition that's for you to kind of interact with the world and should people should know where are you holding but the reality is that the mitzvot are equal for all of us. You choose how much of them you do. You can do all you can do half. you can do some you have your own with the master of the universe but the fact is that we're all equal so first of all and most important the first hat that I wear is that I'm an observant Jew there's also observant non-Jews same Torah same God same mitzvot just that the non-Jew has much less of the mitzvah to do so one will call himself an observant Jew and one can call himself an observ servant gentile. But the point is that the main hat is the observance of the rules of the creator of the world. How you call yourself is irrelevant and actually childish. People ask me all the time, what are you and the last time I checked, I'm a man. That's that's where it ends. What are you? Okay. Happens to be that the path of that I follow is that's it. And I don't hold groups and people all the time ask me what are you, where are you, who are you. So I find it completely irrelevant. I go on a path that I follow the rules of the creator. So the first hat and most important and I know you're paying attention because everything that I'm telling you and teaching you eventually if you're smart, you walk out of this door and apply it. So if you don't want to write notes, it's recorded. Uh you can watch the rerun. If you are that smart to remember everything, uh maybe you can come and learn with me once a week in my yeshiva. Teach me how to memorize such information. Uh but most people when they go out of the door, it takes about 12 minutes before they forget 90% of what was talked. So smart people either take notes or go and look at the rerun because if you came here for anything but to change your life, then you're wasting your time. If you came here to whatever reason or you came here tonight to change your life and if you walk through this door with the right attitude, you you will change your life. If you don't, then you'll walk the same way how you walked in. So pay attention. Every detail here is important. The first hat and the most dominating and important hat that I wear is that I'm an observant individual and the focus of the entire day is hashem. So when I wake up in the morning, the first two hours is Hashem. Nothing else from Odani till that I come back no phone, no email, no SMS, no nothing. Because once you start putting in Gashmir, that's it. Your day is over. Then I'll now I'm telling you a little bit of my hats. Wait, we didn't start. I'm just giving you a little bit of an intro. If you start your day without Hashem and the first part of your day and that's 99.9% of you, you start your day with this with a phone because that's what wakes you up. I don't think there's many people in this room that wake up with an alarm clock. Most people wake up with their phone, which means that's what you touch the first thing of the day. You can already be 100% sure your day is not starting well because you started with that. And you can give me whatever excuse you want. You start your day with this little device, your day is not going to be productive, successful, or anything else because you're focused on the kipa and you're focused on paro. And I'll explain everything in a very clear way in a few minutes. My entire day is leaning on the fact that I go by the schedule of what the Torah tells me to do. I start the day with Hashem. I end the day with Hashem. And throughout the day, it's all about Hashem. nothing else. That's the main pillar. It's called I never found a translation to that in English. If you build a massive tent, there's always a pillar in the in the middle that's holding the entire structure and all the rest is just support. It's called the pillar that everything is standing on. You don't have this in your life, you are wasting your time. Don't find success. Not to talk about happiness and all the rest of the stuff. Second hat that I wear, which that is not much of a busy hat, but a lot of energy is going to that hat, is that I'm a man, a married man. I'm a husband. Now, I don't see my wife much. I run into her in the in the stairway. Oh, hey. Hey, you know, at night sometimes I see her Shabbat, of course. And then Shabbat is 500 guests. So, I don't really see her. A lot of people don't understand. They get offended. I want to come to you for Shabbat. Well, this Shabbat I'm not hosting. I want to be with my wife and kids. How come you're not hosting? Oh, I'm not been hosting five 5,000 people for the last 10 years. So, I barely see my wife. So, it's doesn't it's not here. It's not the effort here is not time, but it's a lot of effort. And the little time that I have, I have to be receptive, hear, listen, sensitive, answer, support. That's a big hat to wear. Maybe doesn't require a lot of time per day, but it's a very big hat to wear. And I take that hat very seriously because a major part of my rectification in this world, my tikun, is my other half. And my other half is my biggest source to all reasons and not reasons the the source of all the details that I need to know for my tikun. I look at my wife, she looks at me, I know what I need to do if I need to work on my patience and work on my anger and work work on everything. That's the the the the job of the spouse. So that's a very big hat. If you don't take if you don't take much importance for that role, then your marital life is So, and that doesn't help at all. [snorts] Next hat that I wear, which that is a big one, is I'm a father for seven kids. And uh because I never see them, so they go with me. You turn around, you'll see four of my kids because if I don't go if I don't take them with me, I won't see them. Don't know. They probably went out. They're they're they're shy. They're not going to stand there. But but I'm a father of seven kids and I take that job extremely extremely serious because I took the responsibility to bring them to the world. So I have now the responsibility to help support, design, teach and educate and so much more. But I can tell you that the benefit that I get from that is almost almost uncomparable to anything for my own spiritual growth. dealing with seven kids every day from an adult woman, my daughter is 21, to a little boy who's six. So all day long it's like talking a heart-to-heart conversation and lying on the floor with a ball and a little girl on me doing to me makeup. So you look at you see me with my kids you that's not Rabbi Anava that you know but nevertheless that's a big part of my life and the second that if Shalom I neglect it I'm the one who's going to suffer the most of it now that we moved these hats out of the way then it starts coming many other hats first of all I'm a rabbi to many many many many people that the majority of them I never met or I don't even know. I was in a crossroads about 10 no about 15 years ago where I have asked my rabbi I don't know what to do. uh should I be a rabbi for a small group of people whether it's a yeshiva a congregation a community but I'm their rabbi and they have my full attention or am I a rabbi to thousands but if I'm a rabbi to thousands I don't have time to talk to most of them maybe it's a hello that's where how far it goes and needless to say that his advice was no you're going to be a rabbi too many and it comes with a lot of difficulties is because I don't know you you know how good fun is it for me to come on tours I get to meet my followers I get to meet my students the ones who listens many in the lectures I get to see the haters that come but it's fun for me to meet who I'm teaching imagine I'm sitting and teaching there's the same 20 people in spat they come every day and then there's thousands in front of me so it's just so we can move forward asked that is a pretty big hat and I have to take it very responsibility and very in this is not a simple hat because many depend on my answer or my whatever it is that's a very big responsibility takes hours of my day [snorts] then comes another hat that I have to run my own organization I mean I have a lot of help but nobody can do it for me and that's not being the rabbi to the people it's being the CEO, the president, coach, however you want, of a very large non forprofit. You know me because you know me on YouTube, but I have many other programs that I run, many other things that I do that take my time from morning to night and just running that nonforprofit. That's another huge hat. Then [laughter] to fund this uh adventure once I thought maybe I can depend on the kindness and the charitable acts of the public. Unfortunately a very small amount of the budget of my organization is from donations. The rest is from business that I own products that I create and sell and I have to create money. There's not going to be any money. the system doesn't move. So that's another major hat and that is broken down down into many different hats. I'm just giving you the and then comes one of the most important hats that I am a human being. I'm a person that I need to take care of myself. And unfortunately I've mentioned that this hat is the last one because up until very not too long ago that was always the last hat. I was always the last one in line. So I was always need to take of my own needs last in line. But I'm a human being you know every human being needs some quiet. I work out. I want to spend out with it time with my kids. Every person needs some quiet. Can you imagine what's going on in my mind every day? I have 50 conversations in my mind at the same time. I'm listening to you, thinking of you and answering you at the same time and managing all at the same time. But the I would say one of the most important hats is the fact that I am a human being like you. I have desires, I have thoughts, I have emotions. People think that I'm like some Babaasali. No, no, no. And by the way, the switching of my hats sometimes it's it's in seven hats in in half an hour. I'm working one kid is on my lap phone here. I'm The reason I'm telling you all this because whether you know or not, I'm as much as I'm a public person, I'm a private person. Most people don't know nothing about me and I hope it will stay like that. I have my own life. People don't understand that 24 hours a day I have knocks on my door in in the home all day long people knock on my door all day long I can't even go from one place to the other it's very difficult that's another big hat by the way is being the nice guy the celebrity hey how are you many times I'm like without breath running to a gate and people just literally happened to me literally when I flown out here to America I have horrible karma with traveling I don't know what I did in a previous life. Something with me and traveling, always missing flights, last on the plane, everything that can go suitcases going to a completely different country. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. My kids already know my how I'm like uh if I'm driving very fast to the airport, uh oh, what's going on? So, so I have very very bad karma with uh with traveling and uh now I forgot what I wanted to tell you. See, sometimes my mind is going like 50 miles an hour and 50,000 miles an hour. We're thinking of a many many million things. Oh, I forgot something on >> I know. I'm just testing the crowd. Just on the way here to America, everything that can go wrong goes wrong. Of course, I'm running. Why do you think I work out only for running in gates in in in terminals? Once I thought, okay, I'm working out for my health to keep you. No, no. I'm running only I work out only for the running in terminals in gates. So, I'm running. I'm I'm this close to missing the flight and some person in the airport. I can't believe it. And so I'm like, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah." So I'm like in my mind, "Okay, you have about 32 seconds to be nice and then you got to cut it." And then he, "Oh, my wife, she loves you." And she pull he pulls out a FaceTime and I'm like And I'm like, "Hey, how are you?" She wouldn't even notice that I'm running for a flight. And in the background, passenger and passenger, the gate is about to be closed. I'm like, "Okay, I have about 14 seconds to make it to the gate. Nice to meet you." And but that's like sound like totally normal. So this the the speed I need to switch from modes. It's just Hashem's humor because once I had this much of patience and once I had maybe a second before I explode in anger. You just see how the Gosh puts you on paths exactly what you need to do. So why am I telling you about all this? For only one simple reason. And you have to really be next to me. And I'm not saying that for showing off or anything. Just to pass over the information. Sorry to bother. If anyone can pass me a tissue, that will be very helpful. There is no no one is enough. We don't need like seven people. No, no, no, not a used one. Oh, >> that will be very difficult for me to get it. >> Thank you so much. >> See, this is another problem. I came from Denver. I have a cold. First Los Angeles, now New York. I'm like, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold, hot. So, the reason I'm telling you that, thank you so much, is not shalom to show off or to make you think anything negative or positive. It's only to tell you [snorts] that if you would stand next to me for one day, I haven't found one person that can be next to me one full day and not complain or completely collapse. Not one in the last 20 years. And I have many different assistants. Each one is it's in uh how do you call it? In shifts and not that I'm some superman, by the way. It's because one little thing that we're going to learn about it tonight is that I know how to manage my time. And then when I know how to manage my time, I am productive like 10 men. And I work like 10 men. If you would see everything that I do in my life, it's not even 10 men. It's probably like 30 men. And again, I'm not here to show off tell you I'm so amazing. It's basic behavior patterns, mainly a schedule. and you manage your time the right way and it's you don't have to be the CEO of the world but I can guarantee to you that most people here don't know zero nothing about time time management and most of their day is a big waste of time and it doesn't matter how busy you are or you can be right now between jobs unemployed you don't do nothing all day long it doesn't matter what you actually do I know myself and many others that have so much to do. They're more productive than people who sit all day long like this. And that's what most people do. Most people waste their time just on that. I'm not talking about many other things. Just this. It's already a problem. It's a disease. They need to start a new a new type of a meeting for that. Instead of an AA for anonymous, they need to do something for phone anonymous. I'm not joking. It's such a disease and it's such a a silent disease that most people don't even know how addicted they are to this little device. We'll talk about that very soon too. So the reasons I wanted to give over this class like I told you a because of my own experience of time how does it look and b for the fact that hashem made me so busy but also gave me the right understanding how to manage that and to still be happy energized productive positive and again I'm telling you the last even just the last three months preparing for to the store maybe an hour or two a night I sleep maybe and I have it's a little bit of time to energize myself again so I can tell you already the the body can run on the the schedule of the soul now let me talk a little bit very shortly we're going to dive into the world of cabala because we need to understand first what's time when you understand what time is, then you know how to manage it and then you know how to utilize it for your own benefit. If you don't, like I told you, your life goes and you wake up after 70 years and you look back and you say to yourself, I did about 0.2% of what I was supposed to do. Forget about what I wanted. Most people waste their life. 10 years ago, I opened a seminary for women who want to learn Torah, baluvas, converts, and they're all mature. All the students are older women. And then I did the same thing for men. I there was like about three year period. I was the youngest stu student. I was the teacher. Everybody was older than me. Older men, they were older. That's the structure of the yeshiva. Older men. So I learned a lot about the older years of many people, the regrets, how do they look back, how their wisdom and I learned that most people reach to their end of days and they look back and the biggest thing that hits them is what a waste of time. I could have done so much more. I should have done so much more. I didn't achieve I don't want I was about to say half of what I supposed to. Most people don't achieve this much of what they're supposed to. And I'm mainly talking about their spiritual rectification, not business learning and achievements in this world. Because the yet is going to make you achieve things in this world, successful business, good [clears throat] career, and many other things that you think, oh, I'm really doing something in this world. But that said, distorting your path and you're really not focusing on your own rectification, your own tikun that you came here to change something. You came to this world only to refine your soul. You didn't come here for anything else but that. And when you're not focusing on that, you're wasting your time. And then time goes fast. I'm sure you all notice how fast time is going lately. Did you notice that? You do have the boom, it's already through Tuesday. It's already Tuesday. I can't believe it. I just did have a a few days ago and you all know it that the time is just zooming like that. You didn't even blink. It's already another Shabbat. Most people don't do what they're supposed to do in this world. And then first of all, it's a shame cuz they're going to have to do it again in another incarnation. And now, unfortunately, there's not going to be much more incarnations. Mashia is coming. You got to get your you got to get your action very fast. More than that, most people don't don't really focus on that and how it manifests and affects them that most people are either sad, confused, feel lonely, anxieties, confusion, many other things and they blame it on the entire world definitely not happy and the most important not productive. So first we have to understand that a person can fix things only by time. As they say time heals and all sorts of other cliches and terms but the tikun of everything is by time and we all came here to do many tikunim tikun is a rectification. I damaged something in the world in the previous life I have to fix it or I didn't achieve what I was supposed to do as a soul and I came back to finish it. That's why we all here to finish what I didn't start finish sorry to finish what I couldn't finish in previous incarnations and whatever damages I did now you have to fix it 90% of your challenges is you have to fix something you don't even understand why it's coming to you it's irrelevant at this point but that's a tikun if you know how to relate with it the right way then you're doing it every day every day you need to fix something every after the prayer of we see a certain verse Abraham it says was old which means on the fact that he was wise not necessarily at age but it says Babaim that every day of his life he lived to the fullest not 98% 100% every day exactly what he was supposed to do. Can you imagine? And most people they do maybe one or two or 3% of what they're supposed to do every day. And again, how is that affecting them? In most of the cases, feelings of emptiness, sadness, depression, very not happy, very not satisfied, very impatient and judgmental towards other because you need to find who's guilty to my misery. The essence of time. This is something that is very very hard for us to fathom. Time is not what we are programmed to understand. That is defined by seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years and so forth. Time is light or in the term of kabala it's called a shine, an enlightenment. It's not the light that you see from a bulb. It's a godly enlightenment that can come in many different ways. The fact that you see a physical product, that's a godly enlightenment. It's a a godly light came from a form of spiritual light manifested in many different spiritual worlds to become something physical. So right now you can say, "Oh, this is a cup." And we have to understand that this is a cup. But in the spiritual world, there's no such thing as a cup or co for that matter. Rather, there's the godly enlightenment that forms the cup. Kabala calls it nefish. It's a alive li organism that enliven the cup. And the easiest way to explain it, that's Hashem shining a certain type of light that is contracted by many type of timsuming of contractions. But what it forms is a cup or a bottle or whatever I want to pull up. That's a godly light. For example, if I hold this cup, if Hashem decides to pull out this, the cup will disappear. It's as if it never didn't even come. Which means that everything in this world has a a godly shine, a spiritual soul that enliven it. And if Hashem for one second decides that it disappears, it will disappear like your car keys that disappear exactly when you need to leave and you're in a rush and many other things and you but it was here. Well, the universe has to stop you now for 27 seconds cuz the won't fit. You have to be delayed right now for exactly 27 seconds and 10 parts. So you don't see the the the the the keys that was just there. And after 27 seconds, it pops up again. Why? Because in the structure of of all the details, you had to be held up and delayed for those 27 seconds that you arrive exactly in the time you were supposed to arrive. That's why I never get upset when I'm late. I'm always late, by the way. Never. Doesn't matter how early I pro plan, always late. I never complain. Call me. Don't get upset cuz everything is precised on the minute. So this this shine that I'm talking to, it comes in a form of time. That's how we recognize it. Because in the world above, there isn't such thing as time. There's no past. There's no present. There's no future. There's no seconds. There's no hours. No such thing as time in the world above. When Hashem created this world, he had to create time and space. First of all, time that we will be controlled and governed by this time and space, not space out there, rather space where in the world will exist. Because we exist is it is a physical world but we're located in a spiritual place where so sheet creates space not as space out there rather misman the m corresponds to the mem of the word mazal the z corresponds to the word time and the lament that's something different it's called limud what do you actually do with the place and the time. That's mazal. Your mazal, I'm sure you heard the term is not luck. A lot of people think mazal is luck. You know, you wish people when they get married, masalto. I never understood why you were in a wedding. Mazalto, what you're looking at the bride, you're telling the groom, good luck, mazalto. But really, it's not even luck. Mazal is not luck. Mazal is the spiritual tools that God gave you to fulfill your purpose in this world. So if you need to fill the your purpose with a certain aspect, Hashem will give you whether it's money or lack of money or a certain type of wife or whatever it is because that's what you need to do to to fix your path. So the Zman, if you if you listen to the to the sound of Zman, it also sounds like mazal, but it has the the very similar letters. The mazal comes from the word in Aramaic nil to something that drips down, something that comes from above and goes to below. The mazal is what's called a spiritual abundance that comes down for mighty which means that I get the tools to do my rectifications. Most people I can tell you already don't forget about that they know what their mazal is. They're not even applying anything to do anything. Most people that I deal with they're nice people learned observant. Some are not that nice by the way. But but the fact is that most people that I talk to very few people are actually working and focusing on their tikun on their rectification in this world which is a great shame. It's a huge great shame that people don't focus on it because that's what we are here for. Now to explain to you a little bit about the concept of time. Time is what's called shin change of form. Because if the time freezes the form stays the same, right? Which means that when the time moves, the form changes. So time is changing of form. Every second that I move, the form changes, right? My hands are moving, you moving, I'm closing my eyes. If I'm frozen completely, no shinui is changing. a form to sidetrack and for you to relate with that a little bit more. We have four levels of existence in this world. Highest level is a human being. It's called a med a talk somebody who talks. Then is an animal then is a vegetation and then is an animate. When we looking at these four levels, we think that the human is the highest level. Thinks, talks, individuals, operates by itself. But the fact is the rule in Cababala is that mala mala ma mata whatever is from a very high source will go to the lowest of all the example that the teachings of cababala gives take now a very high wall like this imagine now hypothetically you push the entire wall you knock it down so the bricks on the top of the wall will go the furthest away and the bricks that are on the bottom of the wall won't even go anywhere they're just going to be right next to the wall so anything that has a very high root in the spiritual world will fall down in this world to the lowest of all. So when we perceive when we something inanimate like a stone we think it's a piece of stone the reality is that the godly spark the nephish the soul that is in that stone originated from a very high source in the world above that when it came down to this world it fell to the furthest down but its ability to see godly revelation is the highest therefore it's inanimate it's completely frozen it can't move. It sees God like a deer in headlights. So, we look at a stone and we think, "Oh, it's like a dead creation. There's no life in it." But the reality is that the godly revelation in it is such a high level. Like I told you, the nephesh, the godly spark in it recognizes Hashem and it's completely frozen and it cannot move. Same thing with the ananimate, sorry, with the vegetation. The gilui the revelation is a little bit more. So you don't see the growth of a vegetation but you know you see eventually that it grows. So you'll put a tree come back after 5 years big tree but you didn't see the growth. It grows when you don't see it. It's like a a person that grows. You see a child 10 years later is a bigger child. And then of course animal and a speaker. So the lower the godly revelation seems but really the source is much much higher. So something like an inanimate sees a godly revelation and is completely completely frozen. The concept of time is changing the form which means that the form the surah of a stone doesn't change. There's no shinui there. There's no change there. But if for me as a human being there's a constantly shin every second unless you some somehow you froze like this when is much less of this shino when you sleep 10 hours you're just like this you move a little bit when you're up constantly you're moving so the concept of time is about changing the form constantly Next above time or uh okay let's say it above time is different situations or to explain this shinoa our life is a pile of pictures imagine now if some of you are in that age if you remember the 18 mm 16 mm there was like a film And when you looked in the film, there was picture, picture, picture, picture. Remember that? >> For the younger generations in digital photography, it's called frames. And you have a lot of little lot of frames. And when you record a video, how many frames per second? 30 frames per second, 60 frames per second. Of course, the more frames, the higher the quality. I'm talking about now in in technology. But every second is a frame. The reality that in photography every millisecond is a frame. But these frames that I'm talking about these are matsim situations in your life that for the soul when the soul sees its life it doesn't see it as time. It sees it as situations and every frame is a situation in your life. Which means that you can either imagine it as a running film. Remember when we were kids, it was so fun to be kids in our time. Yeah. Kids today are like when I was a kid, I used to draw in in a book every page like a little person that does something. And then when I flipped all the pages, the person was like walking and jumping and I was so good. He would do some assaults. And every moment of your life is a frame. When you put it all together, the frames start moving and creating emotion. But time is not a second or a minute. Time is a a shot. It's a frame. And that frame, that shot, that scene, so to say, of your life is something that you need to fix. Which means that every millisecond you need to fix something. And of course, the most important thing is that that movie that I'm talking about, you can change by your actions. When you receive as opportunity, you can rewrite that frame. Like in our generation, we called editing. I edit the video. I cut what I want. I pull it in, pull it out, put my effects. Same thing. You edit your video. That's called chuva. That's called uh that you change something. Prayer filing. But every second of the day, it's a frame in your life. Just imagine how many shots are in your day. So the teachings of Kabala calls it matsim or a situation or a certain time how we take it. I call it pictures. Every split second is a picture. Now I have to fix this movie. That's my purpose. Not to be rich, not to be poor, not to be a businessman, not to be a scholar. My purpose is to fix the movie. The movie is made a certain way. I need to fix it now. And every time that I fix a certain situation, then that frame is fixed. It's called the tikun. Now imagine just one situation out of a thousand. Imagine now that my shama from the list it needs to fix, one of them is the attribute of anger. I know it doesn't sound so familiar to all of you, but believe it or not, some people they have this attribute that is called anger. And sometimes it's activated by them being insulted or their ego being stepped on or somebody hurts their honor and then they get angry. I know it's I I know it's something that is really not familiar to you all. I know it's very rare. You can see it in some psychiatric psychiatric award, you know. I know you don't know what I'm talking about. It happens to people that they like it's like a feeling that you burst out in anger. I know it's not familiar to most people, but it happens to most of us 10 times a day. So why is that happening? Not because something's wrong with you. By the way, and by the way, when we're talking about already about anger, I don't know what to say in percentage because it depends on the individual, but I can tell you that most of the anger that you experience per day is has nothing to do with your tikun. It has to do with the food you eat and it has to do with how close you have this to you that you are exposed to radiation. It has to do with the chem chemicals that are spraying you all day long. All day long I've been taking pictures since I landed in this country. The whole sky backwards and forth. They're spraying you. >> It's illegal all over the world. But nevertheless, no, no, no, no. Let's not sidetrack right now. I know you want to ignite my conspiracy side tonight, but but why am I saying that? All this will affect you. You'll be agitated, angry. So a lot of your anger is the environment that you are exposed to. If you have a problem with anger, then I can highly recommend much less exposure to the phones. Don't sleep next to a router and your house has many routers or one or two or whatever it is. Turn the router off at night and many other things. I'm not going to give you now uh my opinions on that. you, if you're smart, you could do your own your own research. But I can tell you that's a big part of your problem is radiation, the digestion of whatever you eat, which is mainly not food, and the chemicals that you are exposed to every day. That's enough to drive a person crazy. But imagine now a person that is experiencing now uh an emotional situation that arouses a lot of anger. his wife did a certain action that doesn't really justify screaming but it angered him and started an argument. Okay. Happens every day to the best people and uh he's a smart individual then right in the way he understands that that's now a test or a challenge and even though the wife did a certain act that got him angry and by the way I'm giving some example it's not directed to wives and husbands just flow with me but this individual is very smart and he understands I'm not going to fall now for this challenge. I'm not going to let this affect me and I'm not going to scream at my wife. I'm not going to answer back. I'm going to understand that this is from Hashem and I the person is working on himself and he decides to turn away the argument instead of an argument. He apologizes or whatever. It doesn't matter. You got the point. That person just now did a tikun a rectification to one frame that the frame was a a motion of anger and the person did cha and switched it to kindness to patience to understanding whatever it is that person did a in one second one second that you hold your tongue you don't curse you don't get angry you don't become judgmental you don't become impatient one second of an act that you do and one frame is fixed and at night when you go to sleep you elevate that frame back to its source and you did your job that you have to do not because you want to you have to do it and like that you fix every day frame after frame after frame now I gave you an example with a husband and wife fighting and the husband works on his anger that individual has to work on his anger 20 times a day that person cut him in line. That person went like this with the car. That person didn't do this and that. This individual didn't deliver the job he was supposed to do. The person is all the time challenged with situation that arouses his anger and invasion and needs to reverse it to control it. So in that moment he fixed one frame. He she and every situation in your life is a frame that you need to fix. So when you go like this, you know what you're fixing? Nothing. You're wasting your time. Precious time that you have to apply to important things. And when you don't do your tikun, your rectification per day, it rolls over to the next day. Like the phone companies used to do once. Remember they give you 500 minutes, you didn't use them, it rolls over to the next. >> [clears throat] >> That's why you are tired. That's why most people lose their hope. That's why most people are heavy, sad, all that because you are carrying days of tikunim of rectifications and you feel tired, less energized, definitely not productive. A week ago, I was right right before we left. I'm sure you all already know I produced my own wine. Now I started selling it. Now before coming here we have new types of wine. Everything was supposed to be prepared to the trip. Me not everything works how I want. Not everything is here like how I wanted. But again another test from Hashem. But what I wanted to say is that one night we were the next day came a delivery of a truck picking up the pallet with the wine to take it to the airport. So, we had a deadline and we had to bottle the bottles with wine, put the stickers, everything. And I do everything. I'm the mash, so I I have to be there. It's a few people. We had to work all night. At 6:00 in the morning, I'm like running like a like a I don't even know how to call it. H Energizer Bunny. Okay. And all the young ones are like And when I spoke to one later to one of my workers, he's like he's like, "I never seen h how weren't you tired? How how you why?" He didn't understand. And I told him because when you utilize the time every moment to what it's supposed to do, then you don't get tired. A lot of your tiredness, again, I attribute a lot to your what you eat and everything else. Half of the problems you have is for the three reasons I said, the food, the radiation, and the chemicals. That I would highly recommend to change in your life right away. But but when you do your tikun, you have a lot of energy because you're bringing down a lot of light to your nisha. You don't feel tired. You want to do the next one and the next one. So next time that you're dealing with time, don't think of it as time. Every second is a tikun, an opportunity to do a tikun, a rectification that when you do it right, not only that you're fulfilling your purpose, you're getting your spiritual points. By default, it's making you more energized, more successful, more focused, of course, cuz you're going on the right path. Now, I told you that we need to fix the movie. If you run the pictures fast, then of course times runs fast. When time runs very fast, it means that the the shape is changing way too fast. Too many frames. When time goes very very slow. When did you ever experience time going slow? >> School. >> School. [laughter] Shabbat. Shalom. Boy, who said that? [laughter] Shabbat. I Shabbat flies to me like is I blink blink of an eye and there's no Shabbat anymore. Shabbat goes very slow that's a problem. You know when time goes very slow means that there's no you're not doing nothing. When a person sits in jail doesn't do nothing. Time doesn't move. Shabbat. Not a good example. Shabbat. Shabbat. No, no, no, no, no, no offense here. I'm just saying Shabbat. Let's let let me explain it different. When time goes fast means that the the the that the frame is changing too fast. You know why now time is going too fast? Mashia is coming very soon. I know it's very hard to people to understand that. And I know people tell me, "Yeah, but you've been saying that for 15 years." Trust me, you don't want it to come fast. It's going to bring you to such a state of being dizzy. Shem knows what he's doing that he's bringing it slowly and slowly and slowly because most people not are ready to digest what it's about to happen. Therefore, you got to get through the program fast. And the reason why the time is going too fast because there's no more more time for the tikunim. Look how much time you're wasting. Shem is giving you little time. That's why the frames are going so fast because there's so much work to do. [snorts] And again, definition of the time is a revelation of these situations that are a frame in the world above in this world. In my near-death experience, the final place, the final stop was a trial. I was trial for everything that I ever did. And at that point, they showed me a movie of my entire life. It was a movie. In my experience, it was a little bit different because I was in my body filling my life again. I came back to this world. It was like a weird deja vu. I was back in the body. But this time, my real me was out of the body in the corner of the room looking with 700 senses. Which means every frame that I saw, if this is a room like this, I was standing in the sign and the frame that I saw is every world of every person. There's no time. So I was able to see everything in each frame. And every frame that they showed me, they showed me my life. Good frames, bad frames. And when I'm saying a frame snapshot, so they shown me my entire life and everything was shown. What was shown to me is the physical act and then the spiritual result in the world above. But the fact was that every six second of the life was a picture. I didn't see it as a running movie. It was one picture and I was able to look at the picture and then a second later it's almost an identical picture just from this angle. So now I'm able to see all angles of what was going on in one situation. So time is the revelation of this situation. This matav in the world above down in this world. Do I need to say it again? Okay. Time is a revelation of a situation in a world in the world above. But it's shown to you in this world. We call it time. I call it right now a picture a frame. That's the definition of time. So really if a person lived 80 years, did he live 80 years? No. Take 80 years times that 12 months times that 24 hours a day times that how many minutes per hour? How many seconds per minute? How many milliseconds per second? That's he didn't live 80 years. He lived 82,736 pictures matim situations that's how it's counted in the world above not in time is how many situations now if a person dies young there was very little frames to fix person died older much more frames to fix I know it's tragic when young people die but they finish their tikun on the side of the nishama the soul it's the biggest thing It can happen for us is the it's a tragedy and we see little kids die, teenagers, young people. For us, it's big tragedy for the soul. It's the biggest thing ever. There was had very little to fix. Now, in order to understand how to deal with time, let's learn very quickly the laws of time. I'm sure you're all familiar with the Chinese concept of ying and yang. I'm sure you all heard saw it. The circle and inside half of it is white, half of it is black and has like a dot. And by the way, all the philosophies of all over the world is all based on the Torah. All the wisdoms of all cultures, they come from Abrau. But Abrau after Sah died and he remarried Hagar he had more children with her and after they were adults he sent them all to the east with presents so he didn't buy them stuff on Amazon every child got one present a streak of knowledge and it can be the Japanese it can be the Nepalese from Nepal whatever wisdom they have if you go to Japan half their thought process and their culture is sim very similar to us they also have something sim similar to a mikvah they have how forms how they pray gave all this knowledge of was a big mikubal wasn't some old guy with a you know with a shaky handu got the the teachings of kabala and he simplified that sou was able to teach his children these presents and send them out so why am I saying that because all the wisdom that most people know it's all based on on the teachings of the kabala Now, since the ying and yang is much more familiar to most people, I'll take that as an example. The concept of ying and yang is day and night. Day of course is light, it's white, night is dark, it's the black part. But the time when the day and the night shifts, it's not instant because then it would be a square or a circle cut in half. You see that when the white becomes bigger then the black becomes smaller. In our terminology this is called and when the becomes overpowering the then the will start minimizing and becoming small. Imagine the the the drawing of the ying and yang is what separates two parts of the day. The daytime and the night time. When the nighttime is what we see that's the arousements of the the judgments when the sun comes up then the the the becomes more dominating. So the the hook the law here is that there's always going to be two motions that when one becomes stronger the other diminishes and when the other becomes stronger the other will diminish. very simple constantly imagine the the drawing of ying and yang that's just that we don't call it ying and yang we call it we call it the 10 emanations of hashem now the spir that I'm talking about it's not all 10 spirat I'm talking about the seven spir because the first three are not even called spir they're called they're called intellectual part of the spiritual existence whether it's ket It doesn't matter right now. Their that's what I'm talking about and six of them are what's called male spir and the last one is the female spir which is called malut. We're not going to talk about much about the spir right now. But Hashem has a mechanism how the godly light comes down to the world, controls the world, governs the world. All happens through the system that is called the 10 spirit. The godly revelation is just coming to us in seven levels. That's why you see that in Judaism everything comes in sevens. But the godly revelation that we are experiencing is divided into seven levels which I rather call it seven aspects than levels. Cuz when you say levels, you think one is above the other. And I know many people think that the spir are above the other. They're not. They're one inside the other. You have to look at the spir from above. They're not above the in level. They're above the other. But we imagining it physical. It's not like that. It's rather inside. The kettle is all the way inside and then the spir they go around. So we perceive it as maybe time. This is all spir. So the time acts according to seven levels corresponding to the seven spot. And this time that we're talking about is to pass on this godly light from the world above to the world below. That's how we perceive it this time. But really it's what's called this godly light comes down lower and lower and lower and then it gets dressed in the world according to the capacity of each entity, each creation, according to their vessel. And that's how the light gets dressed so to say in this world. And you don't have to really understand to to the every little detail what I'm talking about. I just want to give a little background, a more cababalistic approach to the concept of time. You don't have to if you don't understand everything that I say it's not so important right now. The time was created in order to bring down the godly energy, this godly light down to this world. How? Through the spir. And the spir it's called a certain uh process or descending chain. Every receives the light processes it and brings it down. The last one that receives this light is called the sphere of the six. That's the most important one because that's where things transform. That's called theman the shinui the changing of time and therefore you see that when it corresponds to our world Friday is a very unique day all seven correspond to the day is Sunday is Monday and so forth so is Friday is a very unique day it's half regular day half holy so we have to focus on the six sixth day but the sixth day is so to say in the process process is the time of change. It receives all the light, summarizes what happened here. And I know I I will simplify everything that I'm saying right now. Just follow with me. The six spir processes the light that it received and then it gives it over to the last which is which is a female corresponding to Shabbat. And what is Shabbat? In Hebrew says it's receiving this light, receiving this energy and then rest. stop. You receive this energy, this light, this blessing, and then you stop. And then, of course, on Shabbat, if you did what you're supposed to do throughout the week, then you elevate everything to its source. And then Shabbat goes very, very fast for you because you did what you're supposed to do throughout the week. And Shabbat, you are receiving now all this shea. If Shabbat goes slow to you, something was not done right the whole week. If Shabbat goes very slow to you, sorry. If Shabbat goes very slow to you, you didn't do right this week. If goes very fast to you, you did very good. Okay, with exceptions. So the sixth spir is called that's the most sensitive. That's why in our generation the the most challenge that we have as a generation it has to do with the breed with which of course in our language it's anything that has to do with promiscuity and all that department and what is every is corresponding to one of our great sages and corresponds to Ysef what's the attribute of Ysef is gathering like his name Yasov. What did Ysef gather? He gathered a lot a lot of food for seven years in order to hold it that sex next seven years he has what to give as food. That's the concept of Ysef Lassov to gather more more and then I have it and when when do I use it? when there's a lack, when there's a deficiency, I can use what I have collected and the attribute of Ysef is to gather it on the sixth day and then give it over to the mood. This is a very very quick explanation what the teachings of Cababala defines and teaches us about time. And I know it might have not been that clear. I tried to make it as clear as possible. But the rectification that I need to do comes according to time which means that I can't move when the tikun has to happen. It's on the minute on the second. That's why you cannot and should not try to move things faster push something to happen. I know a lot of people who are single they want to get married today. Don't push it. If you need to wait now two years or five years, that's what you need to wait for the tikon. It comes in the right moment. Same with having a child. Same with parasa. Same with everything. You try to push something not to happen in the right time. It will be a disaster. Everything has to come in the right time. And you have to be patient and you have to recognize when the right time is. But the tikun, the rectification is coming according to time. And one of the main things you need to remember when you're leaving this door tonight, it's all about your tikun. What you are rectifying in this world, it's not about anything else. Not how much money you'll make, how successful your business will be. If it's written in your mazal for the business to be successful, your business will be successful. If it's not successful, it means you're sinning in certain departments and you're stopping the shea the the energy from coming down. That's it. Simple math. Life is very simple. just figure out what you need to do. Most people are not focused on their tun. So, they're kind of operating every day. I like to call it full gas neutral that you put the gear in neutral and you press the gas all the way besides a lot of noise and the RPM going very high. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. So our entire existence is to fix things and we see it as circles of time whether it's a day, a week, a month, a year, it always repeats itself. This we're constantly going in these circles of time and my entire existence is to fix what I need to do in this world. And needless to say that if I'm not doing that, A, I'm missing out. B, it will affect me in a very negative way. And that's what was happening to most people. Now once you understand the concept of time, then now let's bring it down to this world. How do I actually manage what I need to do? So, Hashem created the world with many, many, many different tools. depending on the level of which creation. But to simplify it, Hashem created this world with many rules. You break the rules, you suffer. You follow the rules, you're successful. One of the major rules is that the kadoshb created everything defined in time. And when we're looking at the day, every day the day is divided to 24 hours. Why is it defined like that? Why is it defi divided into 24 hours because we are we have some such a thing as time. No, there's no such a thing as time is because Hashem used a certain combination of the letters that form his name to create a certain path for the light. Now let me explain that in English. Hashem's name can be written in 12 different forms. The first one of course is yud and then a he and then a vav and then a he and then it can be a yud and a vow and a hei and then in a yudv hey and you know it changes its combination. Same thing with Hashem's name if you can write it. It sounds like and then but it can also be written different combination. Every hour of the day there's a different combination of the order of the letters during the day during the night. 12 situations how the light comes into the world. Now again, not a godly light, a spiritual light. We see it as the sun going up and then it goes down and when it goes down becomes darker and then the sun goes up, it becomes lighter. That's what we perceive with our eyes. But let me take you in the time machine. When I was a kid and I used to go to the theater to the movie house and before the movie started then there's a there was a projector in the back that would throw lights at the screen and everybody will do all sorts of hand movements like that and the light would be stopped by the hands but it would create a shadow on the reflecting screen. That's what Hashem does. He throws his godly light to this world. If you would have the ability, this go light is called a light that is just spread everywhere. No definition, no, you can't capture it. We we're not in this level. We'll probably never be in that level. So, Hashem has to start contracting the light so we can relate with it. But when it comes to projecting the light, Hashem projects his godly light on a reflecting surface, which is this physical world. What's the reflecting surface can be just a white ball. So the reflecting surface doesn't mean much. What makes much more sense is what is the object that is stopping the light. And the object that is stopping the light like in the example that I gave you like that and it will make on the screen a bird or whatever it was. So, Hashem puts his godly name. Again, I'm trying to simplify it as much as possible. And when Hashem writes vav and you project the light through the structure of the ladder, what will be on the on the wall? The image that is the obstacle, right? If the light is going through a mold of yudk vav then what would show on this world on the reflecting surface is these letters and the second that you change the order then what's reflects on the surface is completely different. So every hour of the day this structure switches and what is reflected in this world from this godly light comes down completely different. So there isn't 24 hours in the day, there are 24 situations how the light penetrates into this world. So practically saying every hour something happens, something shifts every hour. It's important to know that because when you want to run your time the right way, you need to be focused on what's going on in regards to this definition that we are now acquainted with with that is called time. Because if you were a sadic, there's no time for sadic. That sadic sees frames. You need to get to a point that you see these frames. And you don't have to be a sadic for that. That saddic is a righteous individual. You just need to be focused on what you need to do. And of course, eliminate as much of sins as possible because the sins they blur your vision. You do any type of a sin. Of course, if it's a big sin, the blurring will be much more. Small sin, the blurring will be little. But imagine you're driving here in Florida. Perfect example. There's a shower rain. How do you call it? Shower rain. Rain shower. Suddenly, you know, water is coming up from Shama. I never seen anything like it. You drive like 15 seconds. You can't see nothing. And like the amounts of water that come here. So that's exactly the thing. When you sin, you blur your spiritual vision. Like a lot of water on the wind windshield, you can't see. So no guidance, confusion. You're not focused on what you need to do. And most important and worse is that your vision on the frame that you need to understand. You can't you just can't analyze the frame at this point cuz you're spiritually blind. And when you understand the frame, the picture and you stop and you see it from above and you understand this frame is not a frame of anger. This frame is a frame of patience. This second of my life is not about cracking down. Oh, getting angry or being judgmental. No, change the frame completely. But you have to recognize the frame you are looking at. That requires great humility. Understanding that you are just looking at the video now and you are a video editor and you are required to change the errors and you just need to follow. Now, of course, I'm sure you're all going to ask, how am I going to know that? Now I'm going to find out the Torah caters everything. That's why the Torah is here. The Torah is not called a Bible. I disagree with they call it a Bible. The Torah is called Torah. Don't call it any other name because you're switching its essence. And the reason why it's called Torah because Torah comes from the word in Hebrew to teach. The Torah comes to teach me. It's a guide. It's a manual that tells me what to do in this world. And if I follow the Torah, I can walk straight. I don't see nothing. I won't trample on anything. Why? The Torah guides me. I know it sounds very restricting and a lot of rules and no, it's a guide. And the same way that you will follow rules when it comes to something that is very important to you, then that's where you that's where you get all your guidance. I have four kids. All of them somehow got what I like. They like the toy Lego. You know the toy Lego. You know that if you skip one of the pages in the instructions, it doesn't work. So the Torah is every page is a page of instructions. So why why wouldn't you want to listen to what the Torah says? I know it's very hard in many situations. But you know why it's hard? Because it's not familiar. And when something is not familiar, then it becomes hard. But the guide of how to do that's the Torah. And we're not we can't talk about this even tonight. We don't even have enough time. But the Torah will teach you how to apply and approach what I'm saying. But when I want to live to the fullest, then I have to understand that time is against me. I don't have time. There's very little time and a lot to do. Our sages intracted a vote in the essics of the father says there's so much to do and you have little this little time very little time you have in this world to do what you need to do and that's why it's blowing my mind and annoying to see this all day long now you have to understand how the system works we are all in mitim is not necessarily the country south of Israel mitim is a state of mind comes from the word in in Hebrew M is a limit. Something that limits you. I don't like being limited in any way. It's very annoying to be limited. I want complete freedom to do whatever I need to do. Technically, I would want to have freedom. So, if I need now a million dollars to build the yeshiva, boom, a million dollars. Shouldn't be a difficulty. If I want money to feed now a lot of poor people, shouldn't be a difficulty. Why? Should be a difficulty to do something good. The bad things is easy to do. The good things is hard. So if your mind is not set on this entire approach, then you're going to leave this door tonight the same way you came in. No tools, no change. Live your life. You're walking on a treadmill. You're not doing anything. You're actually not doing anything. And you think you're doing the yetzer is going to make you feel so successful and productive. And by the way, could very much be it's a very large crowd that what I'm saying is not 100% for each and every one of you. Don't get angry when I'm not talking to you and it's exactly your life. I have to talk to all of you. So some of you are more on top of their time. Some of them some of you are less. Every second of the day is a situation that you need to do something. Now you need to first you need to actually bring yourself to the point you understand that every situation in your life every moment is something to do which means that when you don't do it the Torah calls it to that you just have time and you have to apply Torah or learn and you don't doing it and it's one of the worst sins because Hashem tells you I gave you time and you're not using it. You're wasting what I'm giving you. You can buy time. You can buy almost anything in this world. And the reason why Hashem now is making everything accessible to us in levels that we never had is that for the smart people to understand that the only important thing that I need I can't buy. Has no price, no price tag, no market. You can't go now to the market and buy time and you can't sell time. Do you understand the importance of time? It's a product that you can't acquire and you lose every second and it goes against you. So first of all has to be a complete switch in your mind how you live your life. And if you don't do the switch it won't work. The switch has to be like I told you first of all the hat that I'm wearing is I'm serving the master of the universe. If I do not do my part in this world, all the abundance, all this, this energy, this blessing, call it however you want. It doesn't come because I'm not a channel. I am not aligned with this channel. So I can't receive it. Who's the one who suffers? Only you. It will affect you financially, emotionally, health, everything is affected by the energy that is coming from the world above. So first thing you need to switch in your mind that I am a servant of the master of the universe and that is the pillar and it doesn't matter how you define yourself. I'm religious. I'm not religious. I'm observant. It's irrelevant how you define yourself. And that's why I started by telling you don't define yourself. People come and tell me I'm not that religious. Okay. So don't eat today. What is you going to do if you're that religious or not that religious? The mitzvah has to be done the right way. I have a friend that for many years I tried to convince him to put fill in on and I would call him every day or second day to follow up. You did you put fill in today? One time I called him and he told me to the today I'm not putting fill in. I told him why. He's like I don't want to become fanatic. He's I'm going to be like you putting fill in every day. I told him that that's not about being fanatic. That's how you do the mitzvah. It has to be done every day. If you're missing a day, you're missing part of the mitzvah and it's not making you fanatic or not. You're just doing the mitzvah the right way. When I became observant, it was very difficult to me to become observant. I was 27 years old. Now change your life 180. I knew I can't handle the whole thing. But I had an attitude that whatever I do, I do the best. I don't do everything, but whatever I do, I put my entire effort, my entire mind, all my money. I do it the best way possible. I'm not going to do it halfway. So to be practical here, you have to understand the major problem that we're facing. And I have started explaining to you that we are all in mit. And mitim is not a physical country south of Israel. It's a state of mind where you put yourself in. And it's a state of mind that limits you. And the more you limit yourself, the more you are stuck in your mit. And your mit can be your bad habits, smoking, alcohol. This is a mit. Anything that limits you is a mit. And in most of the cases you limit yourself. Can come physically, emotionally, spiritually. But most people are stuck in their limitations. The things that we are most familiar is bad habits. Can be smoking for a lot of people. But you know that being very judgmental and every day you're judging people or hating or jealous or or anger or impatience. That's your mit too. You know the people lose their careers, their relationship with their wife and kids because they can't control their anger or any other abuse of it can be substance or whatever. Most people ruin their life because they can't go out of their mit. And mitime is not necessarily physical addictions which are horrible. It's the spiritual lack of acting and your own change and refinement. That's your mit. If you are a very judgmental person, that's your mit. That's your limitation. It's stopping you from spiritually growing. And I don't care how right you are in the situation. I know you're right, you know, but there's two sides to the coin. The other side of the coin also have an opinion and not always you're right. So what's the concept of mitim? That there's a king that is controlling you and he's pulling you under under slavery. That's what the Torah says. And whatever the Torah says on the literal level happened, which means if the Torah says that we were in Egypt, we were in Egypt. And if it says that there was a king named Peru, there was a king named Pero. But the Torah is so unique and profound that whatever happened in the physical realm also happened in the spiritual realm. Which means that in the spiritual realm there's a place called Mit. A place where you are a slave. You are a slave to the king called paro. And he makes you a slave. The says that was this tall this little mini. The old generation knows what I'm talking about. The young ones thinks it's an app. Okay. How long was a mini me? He was a big sorcerer. Everything that he did was sorcery. Everybody was afraid of him, of course, cuz he made believe whatever he wants. If he would want to do to show you something, he would do magic. Everything in Mits was magic. That's why when Mosha Rabenu came to Mit, they were all laughing at him. You coming to to Egypt with with magic till they figured out that the level of magic that Moshe was able to do way way way above them. Mosher didn't do magic. Rather Mosher Rabenu was able to change the godly revelation that penetrated into the world. Like I told you before, which Mosher Rabenu didn't do it. He just knew how to activate it with holy names of Hashem. Mosher Raenu would look at Aron was the translator. Mosher Rabenu would say a few holy names and whatever was supposed to happen and that's what happened. They thought it's magic. Mosher Rabenu knew how to change the godly revelation of the light coming down to this world. Whether it's with disappearing things, changing the structure of nature. Now let's go back to our life. You are all stuck in your mit. We're born in mitime. That's called exile. Galut. The second that you go out of your mother's womb, a doctor touches you. The doctor has what's called tumat on his hands. We all are with this level of impurity. The doctor touches the baby. The baby now has touatmet impurity of death. Now we all are affected by that. So you are born into mitime or as Morpheus tells Neo, you are born into the matrix. So you are born into your mit with your bad habits, with your bad thoughts. You think it's a lot from the environment. You are born with that. And if you're taking it from the environment, that's where Hashem put you. So you're taking it from the environment. But you were born into mit and your job in this world is to go out of your mit out of your state of limitation and that's called freedom. It's called gulah redemption. When the real big redemption is going to come, we're all going to be woken up from this dream that we're in total different type of world. When you understand this concept that you are in Mitim, did you have to understand that you are a slave and the Torah says that used to work the slaves is materialism. I means the the actual material that they used to have to produce. They had to produce the cement. But is referring to materialism, the slavery, materialism. Sounds familiar, right? I need the iPhone 17, iPhone 18, the new BMW that comes out, Chanel, Cocoa Poco, all these. It's all It's all nonsense. That's all. The slavery comes to materialism. I know very little people that are not a slave to materialism that they use the materialism. They grow from the materialism. They know how to transform the materialism but they are not slaves to the materialism. Doesn't mean you can't be rich or have money. There's nothing wrong with that. But what are you doing with the materialism? Are you refining it or are you a slave to it? Two huge differences. The next thing that the slaves were the next one was leanima is a brick. I'll get to that in a second. And the last was abodakasha. Abadasha is hard labor. So you all work hard for everything that you need in this life. You work hard in your job. You work hard on your relationships. Nothing comes easy. You work very hard on your spiritual growth. You work extremely hard on taking care of your chores. So you are constantly a slave to hard work. If you release yourself from that then the work is not hard. It's done and in many cases not by you. And the third one which was the second according to the order in the Torah is the brick is the what's the brick? This this little thing is a brick. That's the size of a brick. this little device, the phone I'm talking about. So, you are a slave to materialism, to abodakasha, and to a brick. And I know it sounds to you like a joke or something irrelevant. You are a slave to the brick and you don't even know how much you are a slave to the brick. And if you want to test it, then give me your phone for one week. I'm here for a few days. Give me the phone. I'll meet you on Thursday. Come to the class on Thursday. I'll give it back to you. 30 years ago, we didn't have smartphones and the world worked. The world turned around exactly how it did how it does now. So give me your phone for 3 days. Let's see how you're functioning. And if you cannot function, then you are a slave to this brick. And by the reality is that you are. I'm not mocking you. I'm not making fun. You are a slave to it. And it took me many years to understand why the greatest scholars of our generation were very against the smartphones. I thought they were against the smartphones because of the primiscuity and the lack of what you can find on the phones. Took me many time many years to realize that the great sages of our time, the scholars and the rabbis, it's because you become such a slave to it. Not the tum that you see, which is you don't even know how much it's affecting you. the movies, the sounds, the music, the everything. You don't even know how much you're being poisoned by this phone. If you are smart, you put the phone down. So practically saying, you are owing mit and your job is to go out of mit. But there's a king that bothers you all day long. His name is Par. And the letters of paro is perinh. Reverse the letters. It's something that distracts you. Something is distracting you all day long. I call him pero because you are his slave and you are constantly are being distracted by all sorts of little situations that trigger your interest that you don't even realize that most of them are irrelevant waste of time and you are stuck in your own m because par is disturbing you. The result is that you are extremely not productive. And when you are extremely not productive comes the end of the day, you are extremely tired physically [clears throat] because your soul is tired. Not because of your body. You can be up for 20 hours. I can tell you you can be up for 3 days. If your soul is full, your body will continue running. You're tired at the end of the day because your soul is already tired from battling the challenges with zero energy because you're not feeding the soul the right tools to b battle its fights. So when you are tired in the end of the day, a you're exposed to radiation cuz you're holding this all day long. That's on the physical level. But you are tired because you are a slave and everything for you is a job of a slave. And this tiredness is not only a physical feeling, it's an emotional tired. And then you can't handle the headaches that everybody then you can't handle your wife, you can't handle your husband, you can't handle the kids, you can't handle anything. And you're stuck in mid. You're not doing anything. If you want to reverse a situation, then you have to act according to certain rules. And the rules in many cases, you're not really happy with them. So I, in case you haven't noticed, are I'm going older and my mind I'm still 22, but my body is not 22 anymore. I'm dealing with it. Middle age crisis. Look how much white hairs I have. I value my time that every second is so precious. So I don't like wasting my time. I don't like my body deteriorating. So I need to take care of it and I need to take care of it the right way. Now, one way of taking care of it is your nutrition. What's healthy is not tasty. I also like to eat chocolates and whatever junk the world can cater, but I don't eat that. Just don't eat that. It's going to slow me down, make me sicker, less energy. It's common sense. It's just common sense. But why is that so important? because I value my time. I value every action that I need to do. Therefore, I need to be able to constantly upgrade the system to cater what I need to do. So, I will constantly value what's more important. So if you want your life to be successful and you want to and it's not about I know a lot of people translate success to money that's not successful. I know people with a lot of money and there's no success there. Successful is how I see it is how many minutes of the day you are happy. And if you're happy all day long, doesn't matter what's your marital situation, what's your financial situation, what's the next disaster that falls on you. If you are truly happy, then you're successful, which means you're doing something right. Something's right there. But you have to be also true to yourself because most people, they use this because they think it makes them happy. That's not the true happiness that you see some guy falling off a skateboard or some whatever. I don't know what the junk that the the social media shows you. And then you know they made an experiment a few years ago. It's called the red button experiment. And they took a rat and they put it in a cage and they put a red button in the middle and every time that the rat will press the red button it gave it a dose a micro dose of whatever drug I don't remember what it was some drug. So the rat started understanding that when it presses the red button it gets some type of a pleasure. So it kept pressing the red button to a point that at some point they put a female rat in the box. The rat didn't go to the female. It just clicking the red button. And then one day they found the rat dead. It d died of starvation because it just wanted to click and get that little instant pleasure. This is your instant pleasure along with many other instant pleasures. And when you cater instant pleasures, you numb everything else. And now the is so strong. That's why we got the phones because we're so close to Msiah. And the doesn't want you to do your tikun. So he caters you with distractions and par is a distraction. and you're all day long distracted because even when you're working then you get a WhatsApp then you get a Facebook you get an email and then you're trying to do everything at the same time. It doesn't work. I get a thousand times more messages than you get a day but I don't answer them when they come in. I have a designated time when messages are being answered. Now I know for you it's like oh my god I have to answer instant. No, you don't. Because 30 years ago, nobody answered instantly. 30 years ago, messages came sometimes after 2 weeks. And life functioned very good. And the older we go, messages 2,000 years ago took three weeks to get. You would send the messenger >> to send the message, but the message arrived at some point at the right time. It arrived. You really need to check your message every 3 seconds. What are you the assistant of the president and your missiles are flying all day long? Do you understand how the bar is you're wrapped around it? You don't even notice what a slave you are. And then you're not successful. You're not productive. You're not doing anything. You're running around your tail each one in their different way. Which means that you need to have some type of structure. Now, in order for me to fight, I need the Torah. You can't do it without the Torah. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I know you wanted a a loophole here. Without the Torah, you cannot do anything in this world. Therefore, it applies to any human being. Jew, non-Jew, observant, less observant, secular, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who you are. The Torah is the way to operate. Now, what does the Torah define for you to do? It actually structures your day. When to wake up, when to pray, how everything is with a definition. You just need to follow the rules. And when it's time to pray, then you pray. It's time to work, then you work. It's time to you to be a father, then you are a father. I switch modes sometimes in seconds from this mode to this mode. And everything is instant and you don't need much time. You just need to be focused on what you need to do. Now when you are focused on what you need to do then 90% of the things that you think that you need to do just happen you are focusing most of the time on things that you don't need to do. Now there is a certain gore a certain factor here that is bothering you. It's par when do you understand when you wake up in the morning and you understand that you are in mitim and you are a slave then all you do is trying to go out of mit and not be a slave nobody wants to be a slave since you don't know that you are a mitim then it passes your understanding every morning and you just function on a regular base not knowing that you are a slave and par will manipulate you every second to distract you from your focus. You need to do A, the phone rings. You need to do B, something else happens. Everything is instant right now and you get distracted cuz you used to that everything is instant. You don't know how to shut things down. You know how to not answer your phone for 3 hours. I'm a thousand times more busier than you. I don't walk around with my phones. There's a time for the phone and I definitely don't allow myself to. I also have Facebook, Instagram, I have all these social media. I don't do that. I have people running that. But I use it. I use I benefit from the physicality, from the materialism. I don't let it control me. I let the materialism cater my needs. Most people make their materialism the fuel of their boring, unproductive day. So first of all, you have to wake up in the morning and understand that you are a slave and you need to go out of your mit today, not tomorrow. It's not a monthly thing. It's a daily thing. So when I follow what the Torah tells me, it gives me the tools to go out of mit. Have you noticed how many times we commemorate the going out of Egypt in the Torah and in our prayers? Almost in any prayer that you do, we're commemorating the going out of their entire Torah is based on going out of the first commandment that we just read in I am God your God who took you out of. So obviously you have to understand the significance of and when you don't realize that you lost 99% of the battle. When you realize that you are a slave, then you won the battle. And you know why you don't realize that you are a slave? Because when you say mi in the morning, first of all, half of you don't say that. And the other half that says that say it with no meaning and then the speed of an F-16. Can anybody here stand now and tell me how you say the mud the right way? Very few of you. >> 12 seconds. >> It doesn't matter the seconds even. You're right. But that's how you open the D. Now you don't know what mud is. Who knows what? The translation of these two words. Say it out loud. >> Oh, there's one guy who said watches my classes. >> Huh? >> Okay. So, most people translate mud is I confess. I know you translate it as I thank but means I admit. When I say I admit that you are the king. You start your day with admitting that you are the king. Not paro paro is not my king. I don't listen to paro. I'm not a slave. I'm a slave to the master of the universe. When I apply myself to be a slave to parole, then you're a slave to paro. I choose to be a slave to the master of the universe. It's much easier. When I became observant, I was 27, 28, 29. I had to get rid of any bad habit that I had in my life. Alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, everything that you can imagine. I was addicted to every substance, abused everything that you can imagine. And I understood that I cannot be a slave to the master of the universe if I'm a slave to anything in this world. That's it. It cannot work. I can only be a slave to one entity. And I'm choose to be a slave to God. Not a slave to a cigarette, not to a cup of drink, not to food, not to chocolate, not to sex, not to anything. I'm not a slave to anything in this world because it doesn't benefit me in any way. It's like eating processed food. It fills you up but it gives you junk. You do whatever you want. You want to put into your system poison then put in your system poison. If you're not willing to put in your body poison, why are you putting in for your soul poison? So the first thing that you wake up in the morning and that's the basics of everything and I can sit here now for another two hours. We got to finish very soon. It's how you wake up in the morning, when you wake up in the morning and how you set your day. First of all, if you want the day to be the most successful, you have to wake up before dawn. You have to wake up before the sun goes out. That's is the right the right way. I know you're all laughing, but try it once. And that's really how once everybody used to wake up cuz there was an internet and electricity and the sun goes down, everybody goes to sleep and you wake up in the morning, 4:00 in the morning. I know it sounds like ah, okay, it all depends, you know, how you want to live your life. It really depends how you want to live your life. If you're not willing to give sacrifices, you're not going to be successful in anything. And I know success is success is not money. Success is how happy you are, how much you achieved every day, how many lives you changed, how many souls you affected, how many changes in yourself you did, how much you growing. That's success. Not if I have money or not. Money is a tool for me to be successful in what I need to do. So first thing that I do in the morning is I bow down to the master of the universe and not do anything else and I don't wake up with the phone because when I wake up in the phone first of all that's my god but you wake up with that now ask yourself you actually woke up let's cut to the chase half of you snooze I don't know who invented that stupid thing of snoozing just wake up and you know what most people do they set three 10 10:15 10:20 and which hour are you planning on waking up? Decide. No, I'm doing the 10:20 in case the 10:15 didn't work. What? Just decide which hour you waking up and finish with it. I didn't have a snooze button when I was a kid. I had an annoying alarm clock that went like this. With all jokes aside, I know it might sound to you irrelevant. Don't go to sleep with this device and don't wake up with this device. Start your day with Hashem and finish your day with Hashem. And it doesn't matter how religious you are. I know some of you might look at me like, "No, no, no, no. If you're not willing to give up some things, if you're not willing to give some sacrifices, you'll never reach to where you're supposed to be." Do you want to reach to the age of 80 or 90 or more and look back and say I wasted my life? I don't want to get to that point. You don't want to get to that point. I've been in that point. I've been in the point where I looked at the rest of my life and understood that I didn't do nothing. 25 years ago, I stood in a spiritual situation realizing that I wasted 27 years of my life on nothing and going out of this world with nothing. And if you haven't heard my experience, go and listen to it. It's online everywhere. I stood in the place facing the moment understanding what did I do? I wasted my life. And [snorts] the sad reality is that most of you waste your life. And I'm not here to insult you. I'm here to educate you and hopefully inspire you to change your life. And when you change your life, first of all, you're doing what you're supposed to do. And when you're doing what you're supposed to do, don't forget you are creature of the master of the universe. Nobody owns you. You're not American. You're not Jewish. You are the of course you are. Just I'm just trying to emphasize that you're first of all a creature of the master of the universe. How you call yourself is irrelevant and actually childish and stupid because your focus has to be on how am I serving my creator and if you didn't reach to that level you have a very long way to go very long way to go and with that understand that it has nothing to do with your spiritual definition or religious definition I don't like that I know people who don't look the the part and they're doing what they're supposed to do not everybody has a beard and yamaka is the you know the chief rabbi of the world. So how you conduct your life makes a huge a huge change. So I start my day with God. Now I'm not expecting everybody to spend 3 hours in the morning with God but something what you can handle. You can handle three hours go ahead. That's how it should be done. mikvah and learning and reading all that not starting at the end and after that learning more and after that going to eat and washing your hands and saying I mean you you need a certain order if you're looking at the order what the Torah tells you it tells you when to sit when to stand when to pray when to eat when to work you need you need more than that you have to understand that Every moment in your life, you have an opportunity to do something. Two days ago, I gave a class in Denver about free will. If you didn't see it, go and watch it. It's very, very powerful because the concept of free will is basically boiled down to you have an opportunity to do good or bad. You choose. So, every second of the day, you have an opportunity to do something positive or not. When your mind is focused that that's your existence, life changes completely because you're not serving different entities of whatever it is. There's no par in your life. There's only one king and you are bowed down to that king. And when you bow down to the king that gives you all the energy and efforts that you need, everything works out how it's supposed to work out. Now, it doesn't mean that tomorrow, you know, you're 10 years younger, you're millionaire, and that that's our perception. That's our perception how it should be. No, no. How it should be is that my day has to be evolving around the creator. And it doesn't mean that you have to be now I don't know like the next Babasali. It means that your mind needs to be wrapped around the king. Now when your mind is wrapped around that king can disturb you and suddenly you actually productive. Now to practically give you some practical tools. Aban says that the human mind cannot focus on two things at one time. So don't try to focus on seven things, seven things at the same time. You can only focus on one thing at the same time. And that's what I do. That's how I do. I I run my day. My day has breaks. Every 25 minutes of the day, there's a five minute break. And every hour of the day, there's changing of the guards. The godly light that comes down to the world shifts. That's how you run your day. You have to understand that the day is divided. Don't forget about now. Forget about ignore all the rest of the information that I told you about the keying and every hour of the day the energy. If you tap into that energy then you change with that time and when you don't then you're missing the shifting. Therefore your time has to be defined when you're doing what. If you're not defining when you're doing what, then you're wasting your time. And it doesn't matter what your purpose is in this world or how busy you are. I can tell you that I'm beyond busy in levels that you have to stand next to me one day to follow and see. You have to see to believe. And the reason why I can humbly say that I'm successful is because I follow the rules that I set to myself. And those rules are defined by the Torah. And I don't break my rules. And my rules are that every moment there's a opportunity to do something. Which means that I'm the complete opposite of judgmental because every situation that comes to me right now, I analyze it. What does Hashem want me to do right now? And I cater that situation when it happens because that's in the time when the frame is shown in this world. Now here comes a very sensitive trick that par comes in between that confuses you when you need to do the switch cuz paro comes and tricks you with triggers of distractions and you think oh now I have to do this oh now I have to do that. No, no, no, no. You have to understand and the definition of what I do is like I told you. Every 25 minutes of the day is a five minute break. Whatever it is, if it's learning, then there's a 5 minute break. If it's whatever it is now, what do you do on this break? I usually read something a little bit of tim or something. Why? Because I reset and recalibrate my thoughts. When you read a chapter of taleim, then again, I do it 25 minutes, 5 minutes. You do you can do it. It can be 26 minutes and 4. It doesn't matter. The point is that every defined time I stop whatever it is. And that was the time to do what I need to do. So if I have 25 minutes to answer my my my messages, I cannot afford to give my time to anything else in those 25 minutes. And if in this 25 minutes I have to be with my child right now, then it's time to be with my child. So I can't take any distractions like phones and messages. Do you understand how I I I decide where my energy goes? I'm already good at it. So I can switch the mode 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds. But my day is defined before I even started it. That's the key here is to to define your schedule pre not as it goes. How many of you work with a schedule? I mean you wake up in the morning, you go to work, you eat, you you shower, you do whatever you do. You have some type of a schedule, but the schedule is not really planned. It's not laid out. And the the main focus is not focused on. So we defined a little bit in the spiritual level the definition of time and bear in mind that we had a two hours to squeeze everything in. But the concept no when you understand the concept of time it helps you manage it the right way. Now when you want to be practical I mean after all you sat here for an hour and a half you heard a lot of information agreed with most of it nodded a lot of times but now you are faced with your own challenge. What's so what's next? What what do I do when I leave the room? Then the only advice that I can give you is everything has to have the right time. Like says there's a time for everything. You need to define that time. If you do not define it, you need somebody to define it for you. But you are the only one who can define what happens at every given moment of your day. And you have to understand in a very sensitive way that every situation forget about now second every situation you are in imagine it as a picture you need to step out of the picture and start analyzing what's going on there and the first question that needs to come to your mind is what does Hashem want me to do right now in this situation do I need to be affirm affirmative do I need to be quiet do I need to answer back should I raise my voice. Should I back up? What should I do? What does Hashem want me to do? In every situation, and in sometimes the situation is three minutes, and sometimes the situation is an hour. So, every situation that Hashem gives me, I ask myself, what does Hashem want me to do? Why? Because I'm looking at the picture and I'm trying to find what do I need to fix in this picture? What's the tikon here? Sometime the tikon is, oh, now it's time to go and pray. Okay, so it's time to go and pray. Everything stops. It's time to go and pray. Everything shuts down. Or I can see it completely different. Right now, the tikun, the change of the frame alone. Don't react. Be quiet. Now, if you know me a little bit, you know that sometimes I can't control my mouth. You do. You know me this much with some of my approach, how I talk in videos. Can you imagine me in real life when there's no cameras? So in many of these situations I know to tell myself alone no reaction and there's no reaction and I know that now for the next 10 minutes my avoat my focus my tikun is not to react and it's sometimes very hard not to react now when I react it comes impulsively then the reaction is not good when I don't react then the reaction that comes is extremely calculated every word is calculated the attitude, the approach and I do the same thing whether it's educating with my kid, talking to my wife, talking to any student, follower, employee, every second I look at it as a frame, not second. I hope you're not taking me on my words. There is a situation right now. If you need a a good analogy, I'm sitting right now. My frame right now is two hours in this room spiritually. Look at this room. I always look where I am. How many people are here? What's going on? What does Hashem want from me right now? In seconds, my chat GPT in my mind is defining to me what do I need to do? What's the purpose? How do I get to the purpose? What do I need to do? And I do it. And when it's time to leave, I leave. And everything is designed and pred pre-written that everything I already know what's waiting. The day is extremely calculated. The first thing you need to do when you leave this door tonight is a switch is understanding. I don't even know. Each one has to do it their own way. I had my own methods when I was young. G is the switch. It's all how you run your show in your mind. And you have to understand something that you were not taught in school. Society didn't teach it to you. The governments didn't teach it to you. Nobody teaches to you. But the only thing that you have is time. Everything else is not really yours. Because when you leave this world, you're not taking with you nothing. Not your house, not your car, not your degree, not nothing. Which means that you don't own nothing in this world as much as you think. You own only your achievements. And your achievements are bound to time. So if I live 70 years, how many achievements can I do in 70 years? 20 5,000. Well, every second has to be an achievement. Every day was full. The next rule is that you have to give priority to importances. I told you I wear many hats. There's priorities. If you will come to me with a question exactly the same moment my child comes to me with a question excuse me I move you aside child has a higher priority than you once I didn't have my priorities set but there's priorities and there's times there's me time everybody needs me time everybody needs me and Hashem time everybody needs time for everything so everything within my mind is defined I have seven kids how many minutes I need to give each one and it's not about the quantity, it's the quality. I can be sometimes five with five minutes with my kid. That's all it takes. But they get their dose and I have to fill all these doses cuz I'm a father, I'm a husband, I'm a rabbi, I'm a student, I'm a neighbor, I'm a I'm everything. And you are also by the way, nothing's different between you and me. It's just that I allow more and more and more things because I know how to shrink my time so I can be much more productive, much more successful. My priorities list are aligned the right way. Highest priority and vado that's number one. He's my number one priority. Whatever he needs me to do, that's my highest priority. And I don't call myself orthodox. I'm an observant individual. Hashem needs me. I'm here right now. He doesn't. I step back. But he needs me all the time. That's my highest priority. That's why I live by. So I printed it on the shirts. You see that shirt that you have in front of your face all day long. And odor. It's not your business. It's not anything else. It's him. He's the highest priority. That's the number one. When you already go with that pattern, you're already 80% successful because you put Hashem number one. [sighs] Wow. 90% of your issues are being taken away because you're focusing on the master of the universe. And again, you don't need a long beard and a yamak and you don't need the whole look. I know it frightens people. I don't want to be so observed. My list of priorities are very important. Hashem is the number one, most important to me. wife, kids. I mean, there's and if you don't have your priorities set, you're going to have another problem. And most people don't have their priorities set. And in many of the situations, since they don't have their priorities set, then they tend to give their time to what doesn't have a priority. I don't know how you can afford wasting your time on anything. And I hear people telling me, I need to unwind. I need to relax. I also need to unwind. So I read two chapters of tim that relaxes you. You don't even imagine how much it's going to relax you. A Sheem is the boss. That's your main focus. And I'm going to repeat like a broken record. You don't have to be the next chief rabbi of the world to feel that you are fulfilling that concept. And a lot of people say, "Oh, he's asking me to bear. I'm not asking you anything. I'm telling you to make Hashem number one. You don't have to change your clothes right now or anything. Hashem has to be number one. Guarantee for me, 90% of your problems are already solved because Hashem is what you're thinking of. I'm in a situation, what does Hashem want me to do? I'm in another situation. What did Hashem expect me to do? I come to another situation. What would disappoint the master of the universe or what's going to make him happy and proud? That's the thought process. The answers are in the Torah. I can't give you tonight. I can tell you already that in most of the situations, common sense work. If you're in a situation that you are about to curse, Hashem doesn't want you to curse or use foul language or gossip or slander or steal. A lot of common sense here. You don't have to be genius. You need to leave this door with a switch in your mind how valuable your time is. And I don't think most people understand that. That's the first thing you need to have in your mind. I now I'm going to urge you to watch the class again because nobody's writing anything. Okay. So, three three smart people. Four, five, six, seven, eight. If you come and see my war room, I call it the war room because in Israel that's how it's called, the war room where everything happens. Then there's a lot of phones and screens and I can tell you there's a lot of lists, everything is written and organized and planned. And if you don't do that, you'll never you'll never master it. So first of all switching your mind that your time is more expensive and valuable than anything. They taught me when I was a kid they tried to teach us as kids uh you know safety in the roads I guess and they had a slogan in Hebrew saying better to lose a moment from your life than to lose your life in a moment. When you live that every moment is precious and cannot be reversed and changed, you need to start valuing every moment, every second. Now the next thing that you need to think of, okay, how am I filling that time with all this free time? You'll find out that you have so much free time. How am I filling this time? Everything is defined. My life is defined. Let me take you through my life. I wake up at a certain hour. It depends because it depends when dawn is. And of course, it doesn't apply when I'm on tour. And when I'm on tour, it's my normal life. Then I wake up prior to dawn, not with a phone, with an alarm clock. I don't know what a phone is. No emails first thing in the morning, no Facebook, no Instagram, no junk, no nothing. It doesn't it doesn't I don't care. It doesn't It's not even important. The first day it starts only with Hashem. My day is of course preparing, you know, brushing my teeth, mikvah, shower, going and praying. The first two hours of the day, I'm evid I'm right now the hat that I'm wearing is I serve Hashem. So I don't go to the sh with my phone because I'll check my messages. If my wife wants me, she'll she knows where I pray. If anybody needs me, they know where I pray at the exact same hour. I don't need my phone with me while I pray. It's It will distract me. It will go and then I look. That's it. He got you. He got you. Don't give him the opportunity to that he he's there when you wake up. It's like your lover. Some people sleep with no I know what you might thinking that I'm talking nonsense. put it to the test. Go now 40 days that I'm telling you, you'll see such a huge difference in your life, such a shift in your life. I started the day with Hashem and once I'm done with that and everything can wait. Everything can wait. No pressure. I delegate responsibilities. It's not my responsibility in the morning to get the kids ready to school. It's my wife responsibility. Delegation is very important. Few weeks ago, my father-in-law passed away. Unfortunately, my wife left to the United States. Suddenly, I'm a mother for two weeks. Now, my entire day structure changed. So, all with everything is prepared. I know when I'm praying, I know when I come back, when I'm eating first, I define first part of the day. I work out a little bit. So, the body will be ready. That's it. The mind is ready. The soul is ready. And everything is defined in my work. Between 9 to 9:25, this is done. Between 9:30 to 9:55, this is done. Everything is written. Everything is prepared. Of course, in many of it, it's autopilot. But my day is set up to me. So, I can't afford missing time. I can't afford now answering a call when I'm doing this because it will take time from whatever task this needs to. Now if I need to spend double the time then I'll put double the time but every half an hour is defined in my day first of all every round light is changing I shift myself get up physically I drink a cup of water cleaning the system in many of the cases if I sit I work out some stretches whatever it is that's your break in many of the times that five minute break some stretches going out I live in a gorgeous this place. Look at the mountains. A little bit of a little bit of that's it. Five minutes done. Yella back machine. Now I know it sounds like No, no, no, no. My days I'm not You will never see me uptight, angry. Everything is prepared. There's a time when I'm serving Hashem. There's a time when I'm a father. There's a time when I'm the husband. There's a time when I'm a a rabbi. When there's a time when I'm alone. And I also list my priorities. I love chocolate, but I know it's not good for me. There's nothing good in there. So once a week, I'll spoil myself with a little bit of chocolate to shut the up. And when on Shabbat, when it's a mitzvah to pleasure yourself with food and then the entire week, I have a buildup. There's excitement cuz I don't run after it every second. There's also a buildup. You'll start missing your phone. I don't see my wife watch. There's a buildup. Hashem created everything in a way that you there's a time for everything. So I define by priorities and constantly in the back of my mind is the importance that no one can take my time. No, nothing in this world should affect my time because what's going to happen is then I write I arrive late to the train and at the end of the day that's when again no phone no anything it's again me and Hashem I start the day with Hashem and I finish the day with Hashem and when I finish the day with Hashem first I have to clean myself so I will say a prayer it's called the bedtime. I know it's long. I know it's tiring. It's much better than Instagram. And I repent and I review the day. And I take 10 minutes and this is the most important 10 minutes of my day where I review my day. How close was I to success? How close was I to all that I defined myself? How successful I was able to go by all the time that I defined. And with that comes the repentance that that person I should have answered in a softer manner. Tomorrow I'll call and apologize. That person I should have paid on time. I'm tomorrow going to fix it. And this person needed this and that and I I I in a very healthy way I rearrange what I need to do for the next day in regards to chuva. So I approach to the master of the universe clean and that helps me at night to take all the mitzvah that I did all day long all the tikunim all these rectification I elevate them to their source everything is important every little part here makes a huge part of the system and when you don't do these basic things then it's like kind of going with a wheel then you know in a car one wheel is like wobbling you're not it's not smooth your life is not smooth and then difficulties come and challenges is. And so I want you to go out of this room with a change because I didn't come all the way to Book of Radon to sit and entertain you for no reason. I came here to hopefully give you the right tools and the inspiration to set your your time in the right priority. Now again only two hours not much information can be given if you're smart I you read your notes or you watch the video again and again and again because it's almost like me telling you I have a cure for your problem a certain medicine now if I would be wear a white robe and have a stethoscope on me you would believe me because I have a diploma on the wall I don't know many people who go to the doctor and the doctor gives them some pill and they don't want to take it I went once to to some test. They wanted me to be tested and the doctor told me, "Oh, you have your cholesterol is very high. I need you to take this pill." And I told the doctor, "Did you take the pill?" Oh, no. No. So, why why you selling it to me? Did you taste it? Are you taking it every day? Why are you selling me a pill? What are you, a drug dealer? Tell me to eat celery. My My cholesterol will go down. Why? Why are you telling me to take a pill, not to be a slave to the pill? So you believe a doctor that tells you take this, it will be fine. So I'm now acting as a doctor and telling you what pill you need to take and you need to understand that you are a slave. That's what you need to understand. Now it's very humiliating to think that. Actually, sorry I'm not saying the word the right way. Not humiliating. It's very uh what's the word? H >> humbling. >> Humbling. >> It's very humbling to put yourself and say, "Wait a minute. I'm a slave. Let's let's cut to the chase. Who do I want to slave? I want to slave the master of the universe, the creator of the world, or I want to slave my desires, my lusts, my weaknesses." And by the way, everything that I'm saying is much easier said than done. You need a lot a lot of k to be able to move this heavy train that was been sleeping for the last 40 years. I'm already 20 years after you know the you know when you're trying to move a big train or a truck until it starts accelerating. So I know the the beginning is a big challenge but there's a few keys that you need to focus on. A is how important your time is to you. When you buy a beautiful car and you park it, you park it far away that nobody will open the door and slam the door on your door. You want the car to stay clean. You park it in a nice place. Why are you taking care of such a Why are you putting so much effort in the car? Cuz you care about it and you spent a lot of money on it and you don't want to go with a car full of scratches. And take that analogy. That's your life. How much do you care about your time? How much do you care about your spiritual growth? How much do you care about fulfilling your obligation in this world? And in most of the cases, it's the complete opposite of what you think it is. But if you don't have these questions in your mind, then you'll never be productive. You'll go through your life and leave this world like going into a revolving door in and out the same way. Miss everything, come back here in another incarnation, sit here again in Boca Raton. I'm not going to be here next time. It's going to be another have to be another rabbi here. I'm not coming back here again here. Not to boon to the world. I'm done with this tikun and I'm out. I don't need this more headaches. That's another attitude. I'm not coming back here again. Mashiach will come here, but we also have to work for that. You already said the word mashiach. He's coming very soon. You don't have much time to do your tikun. You're running out of time. That's why time is going so fast because every second the situation changes. That's called remember which means that every second there's a different opportunity what you need to do. Now I know in the beginning it sounds very overwhelming what you once you put it in your system becomes your second nature and the foundation of this nature is that every second is so valuable. Imagine now you had a pile of money on the table. Pads of money. That money needs to be enough for you all your life. How would you keep this money every every piles for one day? You would guard it so much because that's the money that you have for your rest of your life. What if you go on a journey? That's the food for the journey. You don't eat all the food in the first day of the journey. You have to spread it out on the entire journey. It's all how you perceive your path in this world. If you are not on the same page, you're back to square one. You're back to being a slave. Your life will be the same. Same definition. All depends where you holding how you want to leave this door. Tonight you have an opportunity cuz you sat here for two hours and you got it injected into your mind mind. It's now fresh in your mind. When you go out this door, Amalik is waiting for you. It's going to cool you down. That's the purpose of a Malik. It's cooling me down. Now you're excited. Now you're like, "Okay, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do this." Okay, let's see you in two hours. In two hours, you get to the car and you get some message some another new issue you need to deal with. Somebody sends you, oh, see, watch this video. Whoop. And then took you on a different journey. You totally forgot. And in 3 days, you're like, what did he say? So it all depends on what how you leave this door tonight is how what what's the switch in your mind. The switch needs to be that your time is more valuable than anything. That needs to the priorities. You just have to set the right priorities. And when you understand how valuable your time is, then you need to plan your time. You're going on a vacation. You have seven days in your vacation place. So you know I'm going to be first day we're doing this. For second day we're doing that. Third day we're doing this. Right? That's how you go on a vacation. Hopefully then your life has to be the same way. There's no difference. A set of priorities and go by that. And you know what I do? I I'm going to get you a question. I know you want to you have a question. I'm finishing in three and a half seconds. Well, not exactly three and my seconds are very long. You notice my lectures are pretty long. My time, my day is not 24 hours. My day is 240 hours. So everything's long. So for me talking for 3 hours for me it's like 2 minutes 3-hour lecture I started I just started warming up because I know how to you know how you go like this in the the virtual world I know how to spread the time and suddenly half an hour oo what I can do in half an hour most people no offense 3 hours a day like this be true to yourself biggest killer of your time the biggest clip power of our time. The biggest power form of power in our time, taking your time, stealing your time, and you don't even notice how it's pulling time out of your legs. And another day passes, and another week passes, and another year passes, and look how much gray hairs. Oh my god. And look at these all these wrinkles. I look at the gray hair, I'm like, "Wow, look how many mitzvot." Every gray hair is about 500 mitzvot. I'm selfish to myself. every moment here. Don't waste my time. I have a lot more to do here. So to set you off hopefully with some tools. A mind frame. Mind frame has to be an old that's the everything is Hashem with a echo in your mind. Don't think that if you devoting your life to the master of the universe that you're now losing yourself becoming whatever it applies to everybody. Second thing that your time is extremely valuable. Don't let anything take your time. Put it in front of each other. What's more, what's my priority? Doing A or doing B? And then you'll see how much you're wasting time on nonsense. Third thing that you need to do is to set your priorities. And if you can do that, I'm telling you, I do it with papers. I write down on papers. You see, I write everything. I'm write it down, organize. It's in front of my face. What do I need to work on? You need to do homework. I can't do it for you. You need to go home tonight and write on a piece of paper what are my priorities in this world? What is the most important thing to me in this world right now that I had to be questioned? That's the most important thing. Of course, the answer is very simple. It's hashem that's the most important thing. And if you need to die on kadushem, then you do that. That's the most important thing. Next, you write your priorities. My husband, my wife, my business, my spiritual growth. Set your priorities. I can set it for you and priorities change. When I became observant, highest priority is to do chuva. Now that priority is a little bit lower because I already did most of the chuba. Now it's a, you know, not such a high priority. There's a higher priority. But if you don't organize your day, if you don't prioritize your time, if you don't calculate and plan everything, you will never be successful. And it might sound mechanic. The Torah tells you in the morning you pray. In the afternoon you pray. In the evening pray and I attach to every part of the day what I do. I know in advance when everything is done and how long I have to achieve everything. I put myself deadlines. 25 minutes. That's what you have. Five minutes. It's a break. The break I told you. I tim I pray. I eat. I stretch. Whatever it is. I meditate. I reset everything. I don't go to the phone because what starts like this the next video I'm going to be off. No, no, no, no. After the next video you'll be off and then three and a half later you go to sleep at 4:00 in the morning. Same junk, same thing. Not educated, nothing changed. You didn't gain anything. Your finger hurts. I don't even know how it doesn't how people have fingerprints. You know, you go like this. I would think that there wouldn't be any much skin on the finger and it left anymore. Fourth thing you need to do is you constantly need to look at yourself and be very critic on yourself. You have to look at yourself because nobody will do it for you by the way. And when somebody does it for you, you get angry. If somebody comes and tells you your fault. [groaning] So if you can't handle it, then do it to yourself. But you need to constantly look inwards. You need to see where you are. Where are you holding? Where? Where? Where am I? And to be true to yourself with a mantra going on in your head that I have. Who are you kidding? Don't pretend that you're just so holy. Don't pretend you're so kind. Don't pretend you're so charitable. Don't pretend. Just be who you are. Be truthful. Be a met. Don't lie. Present the situation exactly how it is. Trust me, running around lies never never never ends. After you pri prioritize everything, you just mark down what you need to achieve and what are you defining for that. So if I right now going on a tour and I need to add three more hours to the day for the tour. So I what is it coming on on the account of what? If my day is full and now I have to increase in something. What is it coming on the account of? What? 3 weeks ago, my wife left
