What supposed to happen will happen - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] the world is going crazy day by day every day the world is more crazier I highly recommend to stay at home and not to have encounters with people no I'm joking this is not a recommendation this is just an observation really the world is going crazy you see it in all aspects of the way it's really increasing every day and what comes naturally with this chaotic state is fear why would a person feel fear because you feel you have no control what's going to happen and am I going to live am I going to die it's going to be a war what's going to be with money so the the beginning is chaos the next effect is that people start are affected by that that they they they feel helpless and that brings them into fear from uncertainty and so forth and especially because people come to the point that they understand that they have no control and when a person feels that they have no control then then the the way down is very very easy more than that usually a person that in a situation like now will H have fear it's a person that also believes that things happen by themselves that there are coincidences we have a a strong F foundation in the teachings of the Torah that there's no such thing as a coincidence nothing happened by chance it's everything by the hands of hasem and we spoke about it in the last class when I told you mik coincidence is the same letter as Hashem hasem made it there's no coincidence everything is predestined everything is supervised and observed by the master of the universe and that is a strong foundation in our teaching that everything is B sh in the hands of the master of the universe now when a person lives with a feeling that something's going to happen and I'm I'm talking right now on on the current situation but this is H not excluding any situation when a person lives with the feeling that something is going to happen the imagination is taking him to places that only the imagination can take but when a person lives his life with the feeling that something might happen and it can be be now in a war my house will get bombed Shalom I'll get killed or oh let's not talk about the war right now A person can drive in a car and oh my God somebody can hit me and let me just give you one example out of many but when a person is constantly with these feelings it's something might happen then his uh his hers the imagination goes wild thinking of things people in our days are imagining them fighting with terrorists in their house and jumping on grenades and and looking maybe I'm going to have to run through the field no no no I'm not joking because why you imagining it because that's what you saw if you wouldn't see any of the videos of what was going on in the last month and a half you wouldn't imagine anything you couldn't imagine that if I would come and tell you terrorists infiltrated into Israel and massacred people left you say I can't even imagine something can you imagine what what happened you can't imagine you needed the reality to bring you ideas for your imagination because you didn't think sit at home and imagine how some something like this can happen and again I'm focusing on the war right now but this applies to every situation in your life so right now people saw a lot of videos and their imagination has a lot of information and if I'm afraid that something's going to happen happen all day long I will have the imagination in my mind in my mind how Shalom terrorists are in the streets the house is completely blown up and all sorts of issues this is called di false imagination 99.9% of the thought process and the scenes let's call it in your mind is diav and again is an imagination I'm telling you already that 99% of what's going on in your mind is will never happen cannot happen and why are you even thinking of that all along with thinking what if and if I did and if I said and if I went and if I right that's how all feel what if I and if and what if okay remember the term false imagination the imagination is a force it's called in in Hebrew a power that is wild why because it takes a person to places I can close my mind now and I can be wherever I want and do whatever I want like I told you before 99.9% is false I'm going to say 9 th that 9,000 per it's not going to happen most people live you live in some imagination that's the reality they live in some imaginations tomorrow I'll marry him in two years they'll be a billionaire oh I love that car when I have money I'll buy that really you are so certain you're going to have the money to buy the car that you like that's very nice to dream and it's if if giving you inspiration good but 9.9% of what you imagine in your mind will never happen stop with the imaginations especially that the imagination is a wild force that can take you anywhere in extremes that when I hear people sometimes talk you're living in an imagination you have to land and live in reality now when would the imagination go out of control when I don't have control when I don't have control my imagination will go out of control I am refraining for giving you too many examples a because I don't want to waste all our class time on that b you need to understand that with without my example how most of your thoughts and I'll call it now an imagination it's a false imagination the who's and the what ifs and the why and if I did this and I should have done that and and then of course all the false imaginations of looking in the mirror when you are 82 and saying I think I'm 22 no you're not 22 you're 82 you look great you have a wonderful heart but you're not 22 I also look in the mirror and I see no hair and many other okay I'm not 22 anymore remember the rule the imagination goes wild and will take you to places that you will never get and just makes you numb atic and worthless cuz you don't do anything cuz you live in some imagination that the imaginary check is coming or the imaginary wife is coming or the imaginary assistance from wherever is got the rule is that the imagin ation goes wild and out of control when I don't have control when I have control there's not going to be imaginations like that when I don't have control for me everything is a m it happen but we go by the fact that sh everything is in the hands of hm sh the transl b day means in the hands of sh the translation is Heavens or sky but the talud refers to when it says sham it's referring to hasem to God in the hands of God since everything is in the hands of God is there any coincidence no is there any chances no everything was already planned your origin and destination were planned you walk on the way how you going to behave on the way that's you that's you but everything else is designed by the master of the universe now when you live by that first the fear is reduced and then it gets to a point that there's no fear because I know that everything is in the hands of hasem so why should I be afraid in case you haven't saw if you wish I'll forward you there's a video of a woman elderly woman I think from kib one of the kib that heard the alarms heard the WhatsApp messages from all the people from the kibuts there's terrorists running through the houses instead of running to the safe room she ran to her room and took with her a little book of Zo you heard that story no you heard no I can't believe this she decided a secular old woman I shouldn't say old she's in her 70s I mean elderly woman no no old 92 she runs to her room with a Book of Zohar that somebody gave her like these small books that people give she goes into her closet and hides behind the CL the the the the clothes for 8 hours she's reading Z in the closet the whole kib is destroyed her house is the only house that is standing she tells the the the reporter look at my neighbor's house he turns around with the camera no house fore grenades were thrown on her house every eight hours she sat in the Closet Reading Z they blew up her door went into her house for two minutes and left she's texting her neighbor they just left my house that's the only house they didn't get hurt in the kibuts she was alive and when you looking at the room grenades were thrown there the Aron the closet like new and then she says that she's sitting there and she doesn't know what's Z she knows how to read Hebrew she says the letters came out at her I'm not joking I'll show you the video the the letters came out at her each one in its time making light the whole closet was light she's in the Closet for8 hours you know I'll just send you the video instead of me telling you the video is in Hebrew so I mean I can post it online but I can't believe you didn't see that now what is she saying the whole time I'm calm I have no fear murders out she's like I hear everything I hear how they took all the women and kids from all the houses and gathered them in one place took them man gathered she she say I hear everything no pain no fear I feel cuddled by RIM light in the closet that's a no fear sitting there she had a little bit of water that's it I saw yesterday another interview of a person also very similar he was in the party he ran away he was able to dig a hole and hide in it cover himself with leaves same thing six s hours just sitting there waiting praying they're not observant people but you pray when you live with the fact that sh you have no fear you do not fear anything even if it's scary cuz you saying that's that's the will of Hashem now to emphasize what I'm talking about I'll tell you a quick story and it's a real story there was once a rabbi who had diabetes the number one cause for UTA limbs is diabetes and in most of the cases the limbs don't need to be amputated this Rabbi had diabetes they told him they have to cut off the leg they put him to sleep and they make a mistake they cut the wrong leg so what they do stupid doctors cut the other leg the guy wakes up and the son is crying and telling him don't ask don't ask that they they they did such a mistake they cut both legs off the father who was a rabbi tell his son you sound like a heretic they made a mistake the doctors made a mistake that's aem's will Hashem wanted them to do that they didn't make any mistake that's a very high level of he didn't say the doctors made a mistake but that was the will of a you have to do the minimum of effort it's called Hut I tell you don't do the minimum do the maximum not I I don't say anything I I told you dozens of times I read from a book and I tell it to you many it tells you you have to give the most your has to be with effort I mean you have to do something if there alarm run to the safe room whatever it is in anything in life you have to do means effort but but you have to understand that at the end of the day everything is in the hands of Hashem and not in my hands your effort has to be good put a lot of effort don't go crazy and to understand that the effort is the will say okay you did something but as I'm doing my effort I have to do it in with the back of my mind the outcome will be exactly the same I'm just trying to look nice in the eyes of of God but I want AEM to see that I'm doing some effort that's it every person has to understand that there's something that is called a is a decree we're not perfect human beings we sin we do mistakes we are judged constantly by the Heavenly court and there's going to be decrees good decrees bad decrees that's how it works that's how life works I constantly compare my relationship ship to my kids to the relationships to God to us and sometimes I'm a very good father and I give them whatever they want and when it's time to educate them then I change my nature and suddenly I'm not so giving and loving and more strict and it doesn't matter there good excuse me good and bad saying in other words sometimes you have to accept the I forgot to tell you an important detail with the story of the rabbi and the doctors that he told the son not only that the doctors didn't make a mistake it was a decree from God probably because of my sins that's what he said probably because of my sins so when something bad happens to me I don't blame the world I say probably I did something and the Kosh is reacting that's it now when you have this type of attitude that everything is in the hands of hem I will do my part I will do my effort the rest will be decided by the master of the universe what is this attitude attitude going to birth because everything that you do bir is something and if you do an action that you know for a fact will not birth anything then don't do it why do it why do something that there's not going to be any type of new reality positive from it if it's negative and so much more so when I carry this uh attitude what it will birth first of all I have to understand that an action sorry an action taking the attitude of a sh what it will birth is the the trust that there is something here there's somebody here good and I'm in his hands I'm taking care of try to jump into the minds of the severely wounded people that were found thrown everywhere okay I saw a video of a Israeli officer young girl she looks like 19 in one of the bases where terrorist infiltrated killed dozens of people and in the war room where is the most secure room it's a vault really it's a vault where they're sitting there the terrorist had to blow up four h steel uh doors that's how much you have to go in it took them an hour and a half to blow everything up to go into the war room and I hear the testimonial of this girl who says we hear the bombings there's recordings there's cameras actually it was a very beautiful documentary because it showed two stories at the same time the story of this girl and was so special because she was shot 12 times and she's alive 12 times everybody of course else is dead she was shot 12 times simultaneously they're showing in the documentary the three different soldiers who are reserved soldiers probably in my age that are all in special units heard the news jumped in a car with their gun with their pistols not with machine guns and went to the South and you see their dash cam wow not what they're showing you on the news and then they're showing their their fight against the terrorist and how at the end these special soldiers saved that girl it was not very nice dramatic emotional why am I saying all this and I'm not going to go into details the girl was shot 12 times she's lying on the floor in her blood bath she says I thought I was dead I thought oh that's how death is she didn't realize she's still conscious and in her mind she was like oh I guess that's how death is quiet lonely she survived I think 11 or 12 hours with 12 gunshots body parts are like open open from the blood everywhere when the uh special unit officer came in he picked her up he says we could barely pick her up because the body is like I don't want to get to graphic but nevertheless she said that once she she was saved by these two soldiers she had a the the the word in Hebrew is hakala the word in English for hakala relief but it's not really a relief CU hakala comes from the word it becomes easy and lightweight she was saying how she got to a point from being afraid to her life scared of the terrorists that were walking in and out all the time from fear and and suddenly this relief that she's in good hands and the officer kept telling her don't worry you'll make it you'll make it she kept giving him his her phone telling him call my parents tell my parents I love them then and he says no no no I push them you'll make it you'll make it she made it two days of intense surgery 12 bullets and she made it she's alive she's walking talking which shows you sh 20 people one bullet was enough to kill them one person 12 bullets didn't kill is that a coincidence is that a mistake it's only the hands of Hashem why did I tell you this story cuz she said at some point the fear changed to a feeling of I'm in good hands I'm in good hands once she was in the ambulance once she was in the ICU she was like I'm in good hands when you apply the attitude that I told you what will it birth the level of beton of trust that there I'm in good hands some there's somebody here they're here you know what was the salvation of all these people that have been hearing the dozens and dozens of testimonials and videos there the the common denominator that they were all waiting eagerly for the help to come where is the help where is the help we are educated in this life that something happens you call for help police comes ambulance comes fire department they were in a reality that nobody comes where's the help that's the question where is the harm where is the help where is the backup nothing was coming when you know help is on the way you C down you might not remember but a few years ago when it was my second son Bar Mitzvah Moshe we went to and we spend the night before in a hotel so we can wake up early in the morning and go and pray shakar in the C and I don't know how what or why it doesn't matter we got stuck in the elevator of the hotel my wife myself and seven kids which the youngest was a I don't know a year and a half and the elevator all nine of us are like this because it was only two floors we're literally standing like this squashed to each other for 52 minutes that looked like 520 minutes or 52 days my my younger kids were making fun and the small kids and my wife were panicking no air we were all sweating you know fog on the on the mirror from all of us breathing into a very small condensed room with no air it was a a one might say scary but then we called the help somebody where you are PA don't worry fire department is on the way once I mean I can only talk for myself once I knew that there was a communication with the outside world and they're telling me relax the fire department is on the way the calming down system calmed me down okay so help is on the way either the help is going to come in 10 minutes or maybe the help is going to come in 20 30 minutes when I'm completely sweat or without air or without conscious but the help is on the way that gave me the power to come everybody down relax yeah the minute looked like an hour knowing there's help coming on the way now once we heard them ah everything come down because we heard them jiggling with the D when you live with the attitude that everything is B sh you know there's who to trust you know that you're are in good hands you know that help is on the way exactly like RAB AKA says everything that hem does it's for a good reason that's it that's the attitude the BAM says that every time that you strengthening yourself a little bit with you are inviting on yourself a huge shefa shefa is an abundance of blessing can be Health can be happiness can be whatever you want but when you make a little step of like I told you in the last class remember you make a small step Hashem will do the rest you do this small step then you are inviting on your great Che unfortunately most people think it's the other way around people think that oh if I'll be in a good mood or if I'll be in a state of Joy then it will bring no complete opposite the will bring you the joy but it's the other way around you first have to have faith not Faith sorry trust now what do I need to do to achieve this new level of I need to do I told you a few already methods of meditations that you need to do for today we're going to concentrate on something else the title of it is called honon is to meditate on something what do I meditate on this time I meditate on my life and you choose whatever sin you want from your life when you're 12 years old when you're 23 years old when you it doesn't matter because you do it every day so every day you imagine something else but you have to meditate on your life where did I born where was I born who's my wife who are my parents why are my parents like that why I grew up in this country and in this city you have to meditate on your life and to understand that every step of my life there was a guiding hand now you cannot see it while it happens you cannot for see it happen but you can see it happened you need to meditate on your life and to look for The Guiding hand in your life and you can only look at it backwards cuz you see already the entire picture because you have already the beginning the the the middle and the end now when I'm going through something I I I can't look forward and imagine how it's going to end and understand the guiding hand if you need the term in Hebrew it's it's a ter term in HEB that tells you there's a hand that tells you where to go like in a junction when there's traffic no traffic light the policeman goes like this a guiding hand go here do this you hear all these stories now from all these survivors I don't know why something told me run there do you come to the bank it's closed oh my God but I need money and you freak out why was the door closed to make you go somewhere else you have to meditate on your life find the scene and locate The Guiding hand and see oh I see why it happened I met a man I told you once the Montana story some of you know it when I was stuck in Montana for 3 days I'm not going to repeat it it's online you can go look atate but I met a man there who was a convert in his 60s I think who who lives in Montana now what of the chances that a gentile a farmer from Montana will find God and the Torah so the quick story was that he told me that he traveled in Europe drove on an autoban in Germany where there's no speed limit and he missed the exit and he got Furious because every exit is a few dozen kilometers from the next one and he got angry and upset and cursing and he made a u-turn and by the time he came back exactly if he would get off the the exit there was a massive car crash with a few car cars in the truck a lot of dead people and he saw that and understood that the guiding hand made him miss the exit and saved him from a horrible death and that made him understand standard as a guiding hand he didn't even say God a guiding hand and that caused him to look for the source and he found AEM converted and now he lives his life happily in Montana there's a in everything everything that you do every encounter there's a guiding hand that kind of pushes you you might notice it you might notice you get upset many times that you are in a rush to the bank to some city office or something that and you come a minut I missed it in one minute and you are Furious today wasn't a good day for you to go in there for some reason tomorrow when you come will be better cuz the other clerk will be there that is nicer I'm just shooting some random example for you to understand that you need to meditate on your life and find the guiding hand and I'll give you some help with that you ask yourself I where was I born to who I was born who is my family why is my wife like that why did God decide that I would live here and then you find a scenario and you start analyzing and you're looking for The Guiding hand because in everything there's a guiding hand and when you find the guiding hand you done with your session do that daily for 5 minutes by default by understanding and seeing with your own understanding how life God took you from this stop to that stop you missed the train you went on the bus you went to this city not do that City you book this hotel you end up in that hotel you use your own imagination and find and locate The Guiding hand because we believe in certain principles I hope you read them every day the first principle is that I believe in full belief and faith that the Creator is the governor is the controller of all the creatures and it's only him who he was is will be he who he did he's doing and he will do that's the first principle so we have to understand and hasem is now ER highlighting it to us this whole world more that we're seeing right now is to emphasize for us how to do it if you're looking at the dozens of the survival stories of the people who survived and do not come to the conclusion that there's a there's a guiding an here and still believe that there's a fate or chance you didn't get nothing I can tell you the dozens no dozens thousands get it I see thousands and unbelievable amount of reports of people who saw got it and now they have a little yamaka on their head or they started putting fill in or Shabbat I'm not talking about the left-wing radical activists that want to wipe Aza now six weeks ago you were hugging the Palestinians now no no no let them wipe them out not that I'm telling hasem what to do I'm just is saying that you have to see with your own eyes how people came out of I can't I don't even have the word in Hebrew it's called tet horror people dead everywhere and one person is somehow alive now let's not go to that extreme I don't want to be on the floor with 12 bullets in me alive to find out that there's a miracle I'm not waiting for that I know the kadosh runs the world I don't need 12 bullets in my body and survive that to say it as a created to the world rule number one limit what you watch because you feeding your imagination what you watch is material for your imagination to magnify that times 100 you see one dead body in a video your imagination will show you 100 dead bodies stop watching what you don't need to watch if you want to get informed better in audio than video I mean listen depends on you if you have a strong mind strong heart strong Soul watch but you take a daily break where you sit with yourself and you meditate on your life to find the route of the guiding hand and to picture for you the scene I have a young kids and in our day of age uh you need to do your H right so my kids all have phones with tracking device so I can track all my kids through the tracking device and see live where they are that's I think it's a normal thing for a parent to do it's it's not going into their privacy invading their private first of all their kids I need to know where my kids are many survivors from the party and other Encounters in this war were were were able to be saved CU a loved one a family member was able to track them through an application the father was able to track the car or the child go there and save why am I saying that not to tell you that I'm a spying on my kids I worry about my kids but when I go to the to the website where I see the tracking it has like a blue line of their where they went so if I'm looking at my boy who school back so I see where he went to school from so I see the entire route okay so if I come and tell him something and he questions that or doubts that I can tell him yeah but I saw you went here and then he went here and then went here why did you go here you were supposed to go straight here I'm just spending a scenarios I don't interrogate my kids why am I telling you that because when you open the map of this application it shows you the blue line where the phone went and that's by the way how they found half the bodies most of the bodies that they couldn't find find is is because the phone they saw where the phone went so these terrorists took a lot of the phones but the one who didn't take many of the bodies were found because of the phone they they they I mean the police the army they don't need the application that I have they go into your phone and they find you in a second even if the phone is is off by the way the phone is beeping a pulse all the time with or without a battery so it works for good when you need to find bodies and it works for bad when you need to hide but why am I saying that because the same way that on the map is tracking my route that's what you need to do now in your to track let me track my steps when you lose something you're like okay first I I walked in then I went to the kitchen and I you backtrack your steps you relate with what I'm saying so backtrack the steps of a certain encounter in your life and you will find the ah I understand what I why the store was closed I understand why that person give me now the loan that I needed I understand why this happens it was a it was a shame and I saw I know it sounds like a cliche but sometimes a person has a minor accident the wheel blows up and he says that saved me probably from a worst accident I know it sounds like aich but that's the reality that there's a guiding hand that tells you go there go there right now and in the uh event that we just saw six weeks ago you hear from people that some people their intuition let's say told them to go this way and they got killed and some went this way and that's what save them saying in other words sh where you going to run how who when you just need to understand that you have who to trust you have somebody to on you are in very very very good hands and to quote when you build this vessel of that's how you get your blessings that's how you get your shefa of happiness and health and success and whatever has to happen it will [Music] happen [Music]
