okay good morning boes to special thank
you again to our uh amazing sponsors for
the series for the year doctors a and
Bella Morgan who sponsored nishas our
dear friend Rabbi Dr Brian gabit bar
ban Ruan
n who lived a life filled with Torah VOD
and Hashem and amuna I'm sorry it's been
a little while and we are continuing
with the saer
of which the name has even more
significance to me because the acronym
for is anyone
know the
acronym anyway our new grandson's name
is and at his bris his father our
son-in-law
said that that's an acronym the name
stands
for is anyone there's here if anyone
still needs to wake up you're all
looking at me like uh you guys okay is
everybody here okay feeling okay I feel
like we need some
defibrillators we need some
defibrillators in here
anyway again the premise of the whole
safer that we've been making our way
through is that one is really only alive
if they are living a life in a
relationship with Hashem if there is no
Hashem if a person's living only for
themselves their happiness their Joy
their pleasure they think they're in
charge they're in control then they live
a life of anxiety and worry and fear
fear a life of arrogance and ego and
selfishness and if a
person if a person is living a life of
Amun a mission Driven Life a
purpose-driven life if we feel I'm here
for a reason there's a difference I have
to make if a person is in this planet
realizing that my mission and goal is
not to be selfish but selfless my goal
is not to seek my own pleasure but to
repair and improve the world around
me we are truly only alive when we
relinquish control we let go and we let
God and we realize that he's in charge
okay so
so we've been going through told us
quoting from that we have four elements
within a
person we have fire wind water and dust
Earth we come from all four and that all
of our character traits and habits are
symptoms of a corruption or a virus
within those four elements within us and
just like in medicine you don't treat
the symptom but you try to heal the
underlying illness or sickness so true
each of these four elements if there's a
virus it expresses itself in uh
inappropriate behavior choices actions
and so on and we went through so far
that when the fire in US is misguided
misdirected fire is the element of
passion of enthusiasm somebody who's on
fire misdirected fire expresses itself
how as arrogance and as anger a person
who has a burning fire has a burning ego
person with a burning fire has rage and
anger and flies off the handle and so
how do you solve or conquer or heal
those manifestations those symptoms is
to repair the element from within that's
what we spent a significant amount of
time on and now we're on the second
element which is R we're on page p in
the handout page
P we're going to go back and and catch I
know we did the first paragraph already
but we're going to go back because uh if
you're listening online in succession
there was no break but if you're here in
person we've had a little something
called Yanti in the way so it's
interesting the second element within us
is ruak that word ruak wind in this
context sees it as an element there's a
notion of wind right even anatomically
or physiologically or biologically we
can find these parallels that doesn't
mean to suggest that there's a fire
inside us but it means that even within
the body there's heat and a heat element
you have a notion of wind there's a
notion of Earth and there's a notion of
water our body mass is made up mostly of
water so these four elements are not
just metaphysical but they have uh
expression in the physical world and the
physical way as well so in this context
Ru here means literally wind but Ru also
means Ru is the word that we use to
describe a a soul someone who has a soul
has a Ru spirituality is called Rus
there is a NE Nees Ru there are three
layers or three levels of the soul the
nees the ru and the not for now but R is
the description of the so lastas when we
dedicated our mid I mentioned a
beautiful Insight that was just shared
with we we say every
day the G stands for GM is the physical
Material World we say God make it rain
now if you're a farmer when you say Make
It Rain you literally need to make it
rain if you want to have in come and
food to eat that year when we say Make
It Rain we mean bring in clients and
customers make my stock and portfolio go
up let me do well financially right Make
It Rain the lawyer who has to produce
has to make it rain it's how we use the
Expression Even in our vernacular Make
It Rain so we say this is aav giving you
a little sitter snippet
bonus is every day we've just introduced
that we start on to three times a day we
say God
make it rain Make It Rain help Make It
Rain why are we saying it there by the
way we don't say it in the middle
section which is the Basha where we make
requests where are we saying it in the
first three bras why are we inserting it
in the first three bras what's its role
in the first three Bros sh is divided up
into three parts you've been with me
long enough to know that I take a lot of
tangents but we ultimately get where
we're meant to go we just go on a lot of
detours so Shon is made up of three
parts I have the three blessings of
Praise I have the the 13 blessings of
requests and I have the three blessings
of gratitude of thank you that is the
formula first I praise Hashem then I
have my 13 requests which kazal the the
men of the great assembly authored and
how did they do so because with their
divine inspiration they were able to
anticipate the universal human needs and
the 13th section the middle bras that we
all say in represent the universal needs
of humanity and they areer knowledge and
healing and repentance and Justice and
then we have the generic catch ofu that
if they didn't get it in the verse 12
Inu throw in whatever you need to throw
in help me do well on my test help my
flight leave on time help me come up
with a good drer help whatever it is
that I want to throw into the generic
one help the CH come out not to watery
whatever you want to throw in whatever
you want to throw into the generic Shu
you can throw into it so I have the
three of praise the 13 of requests and
then the three of gratitude now is not
the time but there's a lot to be said
why is it in that order and why am I
starting out with praise R pinkis writes
in say for people often mistakenly think
why are we starting out by praising
Hashem why am I praising Hashem because
what is the best method or formula to
get what you want so if I need something
later I'll go home and I'll say did I
mention how beautiful you look
today everything you amazed did I tell
you how good your cooking was last night
did I tell you how brilliant you are how
insights how invaluable your insights
are to me by the way I need you to drive
me to Miami to the airport so what do we
know that what we do is we praise and
then we go in for the kill by asking
what we need so of pink says maybe
you'll mistakenly think that that's the
role of CH here say Pinkus do you think
a your wife is not so foolish your boss
is not so foolish nobody around you is
so foolish certainly the almighty Theon
is not so foolish that by throwing a few
Praises God have I told you how good you
look have I told you how magnificent
your world is he's not going to buy into
that so why are we starting with shach
sayra pinkas all together different
reason which is before you can go ask
Hashem for the things that you need you
first have to understand that he's the
one who can provide it so the goal of
the praise of the sh is not to position
yourself to ask and get what you want
the goal of the praise is to understand
how categorically different we are than
he he is the infinite omnipotent being
he is the source of all he can provide
all so I describe him
as he's the source of everything he has
that strength I'm understanding who he
is so that now when I go into to ask I'm
not asking from someone who's incapable
of providing I'm asking from the one
who's the source of everything the
purpose of the praise is not
to position hasem the purpose of the or
manipulate hem exploit AEM the purpose
of the praise is for me to understand my
dependence on him so that when I ask so
actually when I flew to is recently I
sat next toosha on the airpl so we had a
great time together we spoke for so he
said this V he told me from RBA taka
from RBA he said how do we introduce
what's what's the sentence that we
use anyone know where that comes
from comes
from wrote it anyone know which capital
which paragraph ofum what the context
what DAV was talking about some of us
have been saying the more than a handful
of times our whole lives it's important
to know where these things come from
because they change our our mindfulness
for everything David wrote it in the
capital where Nasi comes to him and
challenges him about what he did wrong
with M Beva Beva was married to another
man and was attracted to her and he
orchestrated things with urya the
husband and we're not supposed to say
the gar says anyone who accuses David as
being sinning in ela has made a terrible
mistake this is not a sheer about David
and Bacha which is its own other topic
but in that Capital when Nasi challenges
David with the mistake that he made
David says whoa I'm so far away I'm so
distant from Hashem
hasem Hashem I don't know if you're
ready to even hear from me I've so
violated our relationship I've so
disappointed you I feel so distant from
you I don't even know if you're ready to
hear from me
so move my lips open my
lips so that my mouth can sing your
praise so every day when we say when you
say the you know what you're starting
off with you're saying hasem between you
remember at chak when I told you I was
going to be a really good boy a really
good girl remember when I told you I was
going to be careful to make a br before
I eat and think of you and I'm not going
to gossip and I'm going to going to be
honest and I'm going to be righteous and
I'm going to be virtuous I'm going to be
remember all the promises I made to you
just a couple hours ago
shakas I've made some mistakes I've
slipped up I haven't lived up to my
potential and my promises and I feel
kind of far away so how do we start out
each time do I have permission to
approach the
bench move my
lips are we good can I tell you how I
feel can I can I speak to you again even
though I told you I wasn't going to do
it again and I did it again in between
the last time it's an amazing thing
gave us the license he gave us the
license to continue to DAV even after we
violate everything we just said during
our last
ding beautiful really important to know
so told me
from the following we
say move my
lips so that I can praise you and then
we say that's filled not only with
praise the majority of twice the amount
of Praise in sh is requests so what
happened to the isn't it
Hashem move my lips so that I can praise
you and how am I praising You by asking
all these things of you that's a praise
SOA says there's no greater praise to
Hashem than recognizing that you rely
and depend on him isn't that amazing
it's
gack the greatest praise to Hashem is I
need you when you say hashm I don't need
you I got it covered I'm good I'm good I
have all the money I have all the health
I have all the talent I have all theas
I'm good I'm good I have everything so
hasm says where's our relation
relationship what happened to our
relationship hey you only have
those things because I give them it's
like you know you fill your kids debit
card and they say you know Mom ABA don't
call me I'm good I have a lot of money
on my debit card I'm good where do you
think you got the money on your debit
card who do you think's replenishing it
for everything that you have so imagine
your kid says I don't need to talk to
shabas I'm good I got plenty of money
I'm going to go off and have a good time
so that's who we are so move my lips why
because I want to pray you and what's
the greatest praise from you please give
me wisdom give me knowledge give me
healing give me this the greatest praise
to hem is I need you okay just come with
me on another DeTour for one more minute
we're going to come back I promise I
promise we just read last week's paraa
EMB braci the snake seduces seduces they
all make a mistake none of them take
responsibility K doesn't punish them
when they make the mistake when does he
punish
them points out when does Hashem punish
them when he says a hey where are you
Adam what's going on
remember when I told you you have a all
you can eat schorg but just like one
item on it don't touch and you went boom
right to that one item anything going on
anything you want to let me know about
anything you want to inform me of and
Adam says wasn't my fault was her fault
anything going on anything you want to
let me know about anything what's
happening wasn't my fault was a snake's
fault so that's when Hashem punishes why
say hasem can tolerate we make mistakes
he designed us he programmed us he knows
we're not perfect and he knows we will
make mistakes mistakes you know what he
can't tolerate when we don't take
ownership for the mistakes when we don't
own up what in that whole essay talks
about is taking AAS we have to take AAS
we have to take a extreme ownership we
spoke about this last shabas before
pesak last year taking extreme ownership
in our
lives no was I don't remember when it
was extreme ownership so anyway they get
expelled each of them is punished K's
punishment is contractions
Adam's punishment is he's got to go to
work and what's the snake's punishment
craw it crawls around on its belly and
has what does it eat from the dust of
the earth so
ask this is a punishment he says to the
snake your food is the dust of the earth
and the snake says unbelievable I have
in all you can eat paay the rest of my
life there is no limit to the dust of
the Earth how is that a punishment how
is that a punishment says
you know what a punishment it is because
when a parent says to a child here's the
bank account here's the money I don't
want to hear from you again you're good
to go you have everything you need the
punishment was the very fact that we
have deficiencies and needs is the
foundation of the relationship we have
with Hashem when we feel that we have
everything we struggle to connect with
him it's when we feel that there's
something lacking and there's something
that we need and we turn to him and it
doesn't have to mean that we're missing
money there are people I've used the
quote qu recently before and I love this
quote there are people who are so poor
that NE all they have is money there's
one form of being poor is needing money
but there are people who have a lot of
money who don't have health who don't
have Nas who are struggling in their
relationships their self-esteem their
happiness anxiety there's many many many
forms of being poor and many many many
ways that you can be rich so when a
person feels I'm missing something and I
need Hashem I need him help I want to
heal this relationship I'm concerned
about my child I care about the Israeli
Palestinian confli what anti-growth of
anti-Semitism I'm worried about the
future of of American po whatever it is
that you want to D in for when you feel
there's something that you need that is
the basis of the relationship with hm
when you feel I'm good I look at my life
and I've got everything so on the one
hand it's very good quality to feel I'm
happy with what I have but on the other
hand to connect with Hashem you have to
have that have that sense of a
deficiency so says the the punishment
was the snake was here's a unlimited
Bank account leave me alone I don't want
to hear from you that's a punishment
because it is the very lacking which
creates the core of the relationship
that's why the records based on G that
when you choose a when we choose a a to
represent us who are we looking for the
wealthiest most handsome most Charming
best voice the one who has Allah one who
has everything no says you're looking
for the person who's struggling who has
needs person who who when they DAV boy
is that a sincere davening that's coming
from a place of great of desperation
it's coming from the most authentic
genuine place that's who we look for
that's who we look for okay so coming
back that is the source of oh that was
all because we
said Make It Rain what's the first half
that
sentence is another word we use for if
is G is the physical
then is our hope for the spiritual so
make the blow make the make me feel
spiritual let me come to the Amun let me
get into daving let me get into feeling
your presence let me be dancing to your
tune to your music I so an amazing bem
this morning anything I say here I plan
on repeating so I'm telling you that in
advance I'm just kind of trying it out
here with you the B says the following
says you know what AM is like imagine
somebody comes into to a room and
everybody's moving moving their arms
moving their feet gyrating moving with
each other everyone in the room is
dancing but the person who comes into
the room is deaf so they can't hear the
music so they don't understand what
everybody's moving to they look like a
bunch of crazy people because if you
can't hear the music the people who are
dancing look like they're crazy we went
to a s recently there's a new phenomenon
where you give out head it's called a
silent DJ anyone ever been to a s with
this you got to keep up in the anti of
what's like the next exciting thing this
was never on my bucket list of exciting
things but everybody in the room has
headphones and most of the kids
participate and uh they play different
music on different
headphones channels there's different
channels and it's different music
playing on different headphones so first
of all if you're an adult and you want
to be sitting at your table having a
conversation you're not competing with
music that's bursting your ear drum but
you also the kids anyone who's dancing
looks like a weirdo because if you're
sitting having a conversation in a quiet
room and somebody's dancing they look
like a total weirdo and the whole idea
of it is that some people are listening
to slow music and others are fast music
or music at different beats so it's a
lot of fun and it's funny that the
people look different than you and it's
all fun so says the bem you walk into a
room and people are all
dancing but you can't hear the music
they look like weirdest he says that's
amuna the people who are living with
amuna they're hearing the music and
they're dancing through
life they're living a different life
life is an HD it's a high defition color
when you're living black and white it's
a different life if you're living with
amuna if you see Hashem in every apple
and every cup of coffee you see Hashem
in the rainbow that was texted to me
several times by people this morning
that was no that you're not supposed to
talk about you saw rainbow but whatever
it's you see hasem in if you see Hashem
in absolutely everything then you're
you're hearing the music and that's why
you're dancing with other people and the
person who looks at you and says you're
a weirdo you say Hey Brother Hey sister
you just don't hear the music
I'm not weird I'm dancing to music you
just don't hear that music this year is
an invitation come let's listen to the
music together some people need to turn
the volume up a little bit some people
need to put on the headphones some
people need to clear their ears out from
the wax that's blocking them from
hearing the music we have all kinds of
relationships with the amuna but that's
we're hearing we're hearing the music of
amuna so we can do that dance together
so back to mash and then we'll get to
the text what time is it oi
so back to Mas why is spirituality and
why is the called R so I mentioned this
past somebody shared with me my buddy
send her gab but Shar this V with me why
is it
called because wind is invisible how do
you know it's there because you feel it
blowing because you see a tree and it's
rustling and when you see the branch or
the leaves of the tree that they're
rustling you know that there's wind and
the Nish is invisible you can't see it
you can't capture it you can't touch it
the Nish is invisible but how do you
know it's there because you feel its
impact
spirituality this is the same as the B
it's invisible if someone says can you
bottle some spirituality for me you're
going have to tr can I give you a
container you'll bring back some
spirituality for me right could sell it
for a lot of money at Town Center mall
we'll bring back bottles of spirituality
from the Holy Land you can't bottle R
spirituality it's not tangible it
doesn't fit in a box it's invisible but
like the wind you can feel its impact
and just like when you look at the tree
and it's rustling you know it's windy if
you look outside because you want to
know what the weather is and you see the
branch you see the wind you know that
it's windy because the tree is moving
you can't see the wind the wind's
invisible but you see the tree so to
when you look out and you see the people
who are dancing you know they're hearing
the music when you see the tree that's
moving you know there's wind thereus
that's why Rus spirituality is called Ru
that's why the is called okay let's get
to our text a little bit now
so if if one of the elements is R is
wind how does that Express itself if
fire expressed itself in arrogance and
anger wind expresses itself through
speech the element of wind inside of us
our wind pipe our wind that's how we
produce sound That's The Power of speech
is through that capacity of wind
soar gossip and um speaking negatively
and distorting the truth those all come
from a virus a corruption in the element
of wind that's in inside us the tells us
that forem there are four groups of
people that there's not enough room for
God and that person in the world and one
of them are the people who
gossip so you remember last time we had
like four or five different
interpretations by people in the sheer I
didn't have any good ideas but you had
the most amazing
ideas about why is it that if you gossip
you are denying God I had one suggestion
that theim and everybody everyone is an
expression of God if you gossip about
them you are denying the godliness in
them so that a person
who's but you remember there were many
other beautiful ones go back and
relisten to the last year because there
were beautiful beautiful ideas that came
out
said the person who gossip says you know
the power of speech that I was given
it's mine I own it I could use it how I
want if I want to speak negatively if I
want to gossip if I want to degrade if I
want togate if I want to marginalize if
I want to call a name it's my power of
speech I could use it however I
want he thinks he's in charge of his
power of
speechs our Limbs and our organs and the
faculties that we have they're not ours
to choose how to use they're un loan
from God we are stewards and when we use
it in his interest we give him a return
on that gift that he allows us to keep
it and if we violate it God forbid he
takes it away Emanuel
feldin Stark in his book Tales out of sh
he was a rabbi in in Atlanta he writes
the most difficult question he ever
received today it's different but there
was a woman who had cancer of the larynx
who was having her voice box removed and
she asked him before the schedule the
surgery was scheduled what are the last
words that I should say I won't be able
to speak after it's removed I'll have
one last chance to speak what should
they be should it be AA should it be I
love you to my family should it be what
should the last words I say imagine we
knew that we had last words not because
we were leaving this world we going to
remain in this world but we'd lose our
power of speech today we have all kinds
of thank God the gift of progress and
Advance we have ways mechanisms to get
around it now you hold up something to
your throat and based on the vibrations
it produces a sound we had a great sha
from BRS West about it we had a bar
mitzvah BRS West where the father had
this issue and only was able to speak by
holding this up and the question is can
a person receive an Aliyah to the Torah
if you're not really hearing their real
voice when they make the bra for the
Aliyah it's only coming through the
electronic mechanism that's here feeling
the vibration so number one can they get
Alia to the Torah is that a real you're
hearing number two can they use it on
chabas so I asked the sh to who wrote a
CH about this sh very interesting soel
says toughest question you ever received
in his Rabin it was that question what
would be the words you say what would be
the last words that you could say if you
could only speak one more time to whom
would you say them when would you say
them what would they be what would they
try to communicate or Express so that's
what says if you're m
if you gossip you are denying God why
because God gave you those lips he gave
you that voice box and he said I'm
giving you a power of speech and that
power of speech is what distinguishes us
over the animal it's what distinguishes
us over the animal marish is described
as having the power of speech tarum the
tarum translates the Aramaic translation
of the Torah last week's Pas brous when
it says that God breathed life into Adam
brought him to life and he made him says
the tum
it means he gave him the power of speech
the animal barks and meows and Grunts
and maybe speaks in a very low
unsophisticated way but sophisticated
speech the capacity to really
communicate deeply and profoundly was
only first given and gifted to man now
by the way why was it given to man to
whom was he with whom was he supposed to
use it when Adam was first given the
power of speech who was he speaking to
kava wasn't there yet if so believe me
she would have been doing the speaking
okay dangerous I understand sorry sorry
dangerous crowd okay relax everybody
relax you know it's true but
relax I live in a house full of women
trust me I get a word in like every
other
week every other week anyway that's why
I talk so much at
sh cuz there I have an audience that
will let me say something so Adam was
given the power of speech Adam was given
the power of speech with whom was he
supposed to use that power of speech
didn't exist yet so the commentary say
you see what is the primary use the
primary purpose the
original use of the power of speech to
DAV there was someone Adam could speak
to there was someone that Adam was given
the power of speech to use with and that
is Theon Shalom yeah I also happen to
use we get it backwards people think oh
I have the power of speech so I can talk
to the people around me my friends my
family at work and life oh I guess I
should also Al use it to DAV but you see
it's the opposite I was given the power
of speech primarily so I talk to hasem
oh now that I have this power of speech
to talk to Hashem I also have the
ability to use it to speak to my family
my friends at work and in life but the
original use of the power of speech was
given why to talk to ashem because you
see in the very definition of his
creation we were given the ability to
speak when why to speak to Hashem even
before we were given the ability to use
it to speak to people around us it says
you're a kofer you are a heretic you're
denying Hashem if you use that power of
speech wrongly
negatively why because it's not yours
it's unnan from God it's unnown from God
ask people with laryngitis we had a good
friend who a few years ago had a pup on
his voice and he wasn't able to speak he
had to go like two months without
speaking he walked around with an iPad
he would write out everything and then
it would say it to you you know what a
pain that was both for The Listener and
for him so ask someone with laryngitis
or the inability to speak and we
understand what a gift it is is that we
take for granted but it's not our gift
it's to be used only to further his
cause his vision to build to construct
to uplift to to create to give and so on
not
negatively oh right RAB harit out in
California with ALS who's only able to
communicate by moving his eyes and
typing on a keyboard and uses that to
write a blog every week a young he was
vibrant and alive and such a source of
light and inspiration his wife spoke
here a couple years ago an amazing
amazing couple so he can only speak
painstakingly moving his eyes on a on a
keyboard thank God he has that otherwise
he'd be locked in a body the only thing
left that he can move of his whole body
are his eyes that's all that's left and
he uses it great example great example
second paragraph now we're ready to
start that's where we're up
to thank you for coming along on this
ride I really do appreciate
it was the
principal tal of the
the there is nothing that we do say or
think that is lost on God God has access
to our innermost thoughts God is
recording everything we say and God is
it's
a know what is above
you the ear
hears everything we're saying is being
recorded So for generations for
thousands of years people were like ah I
don't know exactly what that means
there's an eye that sees there's an ear
that hears but we know exactly what it
means because those of you who have your
phone in your pocketbook or on the table
or anywhere near you you need to know
that apple or or AT&T whoever sees and
hears everything that you're saying and
doing we know that we know that have you
ever been talking to somebody about
something and then you go on your phone
and next thing you know there's an ad
for the thing that you were talking
about and you say what a
coincidence and that's what they're
banking on that's exactly what they're
banking on is that you're going to say
what a coincidence but there's
absolutely no coincidence it's because
they're listening whether it's
algorithms listening or actual people
call centers that it's been shown that
they were listening that's why people
who are very uh whatever they put a
little piece of tape over the camera on
their laptop on their phone and their
everything they turn off their devices
if you want privacy get away from your
technology so we're living in a time
maybe the first time that we can really
understand what this means I inas
there's an eye that sees there an ear
that hears you can't walk outside
without a satellite picking up your
image you can't be anywhere if there's
technology nearby where there's not a
camera or a device that's recording
that's listening that's hearing and so
on and so forth I I mentioned an adress
a few years ago there was um what's
Amazon Echo no what's the Alexa Alexa
was there was an issue where the Alexa
recorded a conversation between a couple
and by accident sent the conversation to
the person were talking
about cuz in Alexa you could say send an
email so and so so by mention the name
it thought it said email so and so but
they were really gossiping about so and
so and had sent the conversation about
the people they were talking
about oen you're gossiping there's an
eye that sees there's an ear that
hears everything's being recorded
everything could be shared so the Reon
the
almighty if we now see the physical
manifestation of that right and and the
of course always was doing
that and he
adds based on this p in Amos says
Raa that when a person comes upstairs
and they have to confront our creator
the secret is that Hashem will have
recorded everything that we said so the
things that we said that we want to
forget Hashem doesn't forget anything
we'll get the transcript we'll get the
transcript of everything everything how
judgmental we were the gossip the lack
of giving the benefit of the doubt now
we can the good news is we can edit the
transcript you can Purge it from the
record it's a little something called
chuva when you feel bad about what you
did and you commit not to do it again
and you don't repeat it we have the
ability to edit the transcript we can
edit the recording we can Ed the video
that's the good news the bad news is if
you don't edit it if you get to edit it
you don't edit it sincerely you don't do
a good job editing it's going to be a
very uncomfortable time with your
mother-in-law in the world to come so
not not my not my mother-in-law not my
mother-in-law I'd be proud for her to
hear my recording but you're
mother-in-law so that's the Ros of the
Milsa that is the secret that is the
secret that everything we're saying and
everything we're thinking everything
we're feeling is going to be recorded
on the next
page it's not just that we're going to
see the transcript upstairs you know
what we're going to see we're going to
see the impact that our words have that
we have no access to in this world so
we're going to see that you know we once
said something negative about something
to someone else who then was asked about
a sh by someone else and really didn't
know anything but just relied on our
gossip and said something negative and
that called off that sh and that person
was single for 10 more years all because
you flippantly over coffee without even
knowing anything shared some gossip so
in this world we don't know that we
don't know about the email that we
forwarded or the text that we said or
the gossip that we deposited without
even thinking about it but in the next
world not only do we see the transcript
but we see the impact that it had the
famous when someone said I spoke gos I
feel bad how do I repair and he said
bring me a feathered pillow and he
ripped a hole in the pillow and he
smacked the pillow and the feathers went
everywhere and he said collect all the
feathers and he said I can't possibly do
that and he said exactly that's the Imp
of your that was true in the town in a
little called Roden that was before you
had social media and the internet and a
digital footprint that once something is
out there it cannot ever be taken back
or taken down it is part of the
permanent record even if you think
you've deleted it or purged it so that's
what we see in the world to come is not
just what we said but the impact of what
we said the damage of what we said the
hurt the injury the pain that we that we
wrought by what we said or conversely we
can see the good that we don't even know
that we said you know that you send a
text to someone that you're thinking
about them or or that you thought of
them or you put in a good word or you
check in on them we don't begin to know
the positive that we create through the
little things that we do through the
little things that we do we don't begin
you know often you do that and someone
says you know that message came in just
when I needed it you don't know what you
did for me you don't know what it meant
to me that you were thinking about me we
don't begin to understand the positive
too so it doesn't just work one way it
works both ways the positive impact that
we could have and the difference that we
can make also with our words we will
also get to see that
upstairs let's just finish this
paragraph said it's worth studying mus
your entire life if it empowered you to
just refrain from once it's worth
spending a lifetime of learning mus if
there was one time where you had one
really juicy piece of gossip and you
found a way to say you know what keeping
it to myself keeping it to
myself because we can't begin to
understand or appreciate or anticipate
how much we will suffer and how much
suffering we caused by the negative
things that we
said so back to Amun what does it have
to do with Amun because if you have a in
hasm and you realize he runs the world
he's the one who's in a position to
judge not me he's the judge I don't sit
in Judgment of others he's the one who
judges I don't sit and judge and gossip
and negative and the negative impact the
damage that we cause the hurt and the
pain that we create so if you live with
amuna you don't feel that you need to
judge others or speak negatively of
others so on the one hand the reason
amuna so again the whole premise based
on is we have an element inside
ourselves called wind when that element
is corrupted there's a virus in that
element it comes out as the misuse and
abuse of speech and why does all that
happen because we don't have amuna so
how do we solve it and cure it how do we
heal it by working on an Aruna so every
day I try to be mindful you know there's
a God let him judge let him judge I'm
really angry about that thing and this
thing and I want to tell someone about
what happened with that person and then
you stop yourself by saying you know
what all I have responsibility for and
only one that I can control is myself I
have to work on me the one on the right
and the one on the left politically
religiously and this and that and the
other thing the people around me at work
in my family I can't change them so you
know my job is not to talk about them
it's not to judge them it's not to call
them a name I can only work on myself
and what gives you the strength to do
that is when you have auna when you say
it's not my world it's his world and
they're not accountable to me they're
accountable to him and it's not my plan
that will call the shots it's his plan
that calls the shots and when I work on
that amuna that I'm a small Cog in The
Wheel of Life of hm that I'm just one
puppet I'm just one he's pulling the
strings for all of us if I work on and
promote my sense of amuna then I'll have
the courage and the strength to not need
to gossip about others to not need to
sit in Judgment of others to not have an
opinion about everyone and everything if
I work on a moon I realize you know my
faculty and power of speech is supposed
to be reinforcing my relationship with
him I'm supposed to be using it to give
him a return on the investment he gave
me of the power of speech to build and
to uplift not to knock down and destroy
that's a abuse of the gift I was given
and when someone abuses a gift you've
given them they take it back they stop
giving gifts or they take that gift back
and I don't want this gift taken away
from me I want to be healthy I want the
power to be able to speak then we need
to all be very careful in how we speak
wishing everyone
a will continue next week
