respons Saka family and by as well on the 16th of we last left off with the question we shift from the singular to the plural to the singular We Begin notu that's singular and then we say we describe God as a God who accepts who hears are in plural and we'll have to define the difference between them in a moment and then we conclude with in the singular again we conclude the so we begin then then why are we grammatically in congruous in consistent why are we shifting says the following powerful idea he writes it's very very powering you can make your way through anid and you feel like the biggest you wake up at and you say I don't know you remember taking three steps forward I don't remember bowing I don't remember saying one word I don't even remember when I was punching myself in the chest I don't remember I was in prison I wasn't tuned in I wasn't connected I wasn't mindful I wasn't here for any of it what a wasted opportunity I in an audience for the king of kings and I wasn't present but says if when you get to the generic Universal conclusion the culmination of all the bakas in the middle and you tune in you pay attention your mindful you have for that one bra it elevates all the other bras with it it makes it as if you were Mindful and paying attention for the entire so we're able to take this singular y that we paid attention to and we're able to transform all the otheros as if we paid attention to the rest of them a Jew is never hopeless you never give up and you never write off the mistakes or the failures or when we tuned out if we get it right we can retroactively transform and elevate it all and the told us both quote and the bem says similarly he says it about R I would argue B said if a Jew who was tuned out the whole year didn't necessarily make it to minion made it to minion but didn't pay attention came late left early talked in the middle if those Jews can pay attention can be punctual can stay till after Al cannot talk during daving can fully be there you can actually retroactively transform and Elevate all the earlier fos to our heart was in the right place even if our head wasn't so when we get our head in the right place it can elev at all Theos when our heart was in the right place too how does that work how does that work and why does that work so he quotes in Theos the reason it works is the following when you finally pay attention you get it right when you're Mindful and present in one you all of a sudden are flooded with the sense of shame I can't believe I woke up I don't remember saying anything until now I don't remember taking three steps forward you feel a sense of guilt a sense of Shame the guilt and shame for having been tuned out until you got tuned in is the chuva that's the kapara that's what transforms everything that was earlier same way theuma says I love when s Snippets and work together the says that when a person does CH when a person wants to repair for the right reasons zos our mistakes our intentional acts are transformed to be they become merits so similarly the sense of shame or embarrassment the guilt we feel from not having been tuned in for the rest of elevates all of those so this gives us hope it means doesn't mean that feel free to let your mind wander till you get to we supposed to pay attention from the beginning all the way through that's our mission that's our mandate that's the gift that we've been given of supposed to that's the ideal it's what we're striving for but even if we don't don't give up hope don't give up hope we're not hopeless if we can tune in for we turn all the back in into the on the Merit riding the coils of that one we tuned into for we can Elevate the rest of the
