Rabbi Gedaliah Gurfein - A Talmudic Peek into the Life of Demons and their Families

and who is the right code word for this last night aren't you still before we get into the class I need to tell you two things about this class one it's gonna be very different you know - tomahawk all the wheat has that Nicola Halloween's different because I don't think of it as a class I could it be like that a beginning and a middle and an end it's kind of like going into a Renaissance painting and just a lot of visual images and a lot of concepts which when you hear the concept you could just kind of let your imagination play with it and see what happens because it's really gonna kind of focus on a thread and the thread is dealing with this whole idea of what are demons I mean I kind of thought you know with Halloween coming up and all it would be kind of cool to to do this class and and see a little bit what what are demons and how many different than monsters and how are they different dragons and all these other things and you know do are there like demons have grandchildren right or about the grandchildren the demons mean so these are like the kind of things that were going to so look at and it might be a little bit different but I do want to say I remember in 1981 Jeff Seidel invited me to come to Hebrew University and give a class which was called you could figure out what the if to be it is if it was legal would it be Luthor would it be permissible Mike and I wonder if I went into you all these rabbis in 1981 what were their thoughts about marijuana that was the class and I show up at the Hebrew University and I give this class packed and within two seconds I realized half of the room were pockets and the other half were dark see who showed up so I was wondering if tonight 1/2 of the rooms like people really interested in water demons and though they have her demons to actually came to what's here to say about us so yeah there's just sort of a thought that flashed through my mind and the way that I came to this class was not only trying to think about a way to elevate Halloween but I have a dream maybe the gym was inspired knowing I had produced this class and all I remember in the dream was being in a very tight little rule but they were like 9 10 people acted mostly very distinct looking rabbis and a few friends which are different than distinct like even allies and I remember I asked a group of question I said what is it that our generation is so different than all other generations because our generation doesn't grow up all other generations I remember like my parents generations they were kids and then they became mature adults somehow all the people I know not $0.60 we're still just older kids so how would it make that transformation like all the other generations and everyone was stumped and then I said listen I know the answer again it's just the dreams you don't pay any attention to it but I said I know the answer the answer it is our generation eats too much sugar and we stare at artificial light no idea where this came from because I started Stanley needs external parts easy but I Steve a steering an artificial light right now just imagine if somebody said I'm gonna hold a flashlight in your eyes for one hour just gonna hold a flashlight like that right probably would not appreciate that or agree to that but if I put a little filter over it so it had little dancing flames as we will see when we get to the demons and little dancing colors so now all of a sudden you would call it a TV show or you would call it something not YouTube or your computer or your mobile phone oh this one all you're really doing is staring at a flashlight that has a screen over it that just provides you with little colors so we're looking all the time more and more and more just tuning our brain into these little artificial colors and that brought me to remember a fairly interesting Toro which is actually the kickoff point of the class so if you pay close attention to Rashi last week's parsha Rashi points out is that there's a language used in the Bible which is a language we're gonna see quite a lot coming up later in the Bible and that is God says to Abraham in the same way that God says to the Jewish people God says because I am to God who took you out of and instead of it being Egypt which is the term role he's familiar with I took you out of a place called or Cosby and now she points out there an idea which is kind of introduced a lot of people familiar and that was the famous story of Abraham as father's you don't produce these big idols and when his father went away and left them with a story Punisher knows his story so Abraham takes is Johnny ax and he destroys all of the idols but one the big one and he puts the axe in the big ones hands so when dad comes up says what happened he says well obviously it was the big island that beat up all the other idols and his father somebody crazy these idols don't have any life uh-huh it says Abraham right getting the point nonetheless the son even gets busted he goes in front of Nimrod Nimrod has this tremendous fire burning they throw off a hum into the fire and he comes out alive let's take a deeper look at this what is the fire what is the light that this fire cables so we know in Hebrew that certain letters as a preference and certain letters as a subject they are the letters that surround the root of the word so we have the word for or which can be light or which can also be fire then we have this place called Koz Dean perhaps perhaps that's its name or perhaps it's the shading maybe is the light of the light like the ones that the demons make maybe if the alternative lights not the godly life but the other lights the lights of the other side and the image that I use to understand this concept you think of a prism so prism has a let's say a source light which is a pure white light and that light now becomes diffracted into seven different colors of the rainbow those seven lights are connected to the seven days of creation and those are the seven lights upon which the facade of the world that we live in in other words what we see is not what we get but it's what we think we have if this world is created by the seven lights and our human ability when the divine soul has the capability to transcend these lights and go back to the one unified light so therefore since Abraham was able to go into the higher light of God the lower lights of the Orcas Dean had no effect on him they could not burn him because he was connected on a much higher level to a much higher light in fact just a little bit from this coming weeks parsha just a little sign idea oh that's not really good class but I always do this I prepared way too much so since we're not going to cover below it anyhow I'll cover a little less than a little less than we would have covered but you have this amazing idea in the beginning of this week's partial you have again it's a little bit of an argument between the Rahman and Rashi as to actually what is happening but in the simple sense what's happening is three entities are showing up at Abraham right so where the human were the angels the Camorra seem to clearly say that they were angels and not just any angels but these three angels are three of the main power angels of the angel world which will be in other classes of the demon class so I don't want to spend too much money even so the Angels the three most powerful angels are Gabrielle rift boy hell and oil thank you so these are the three angels that show up now without going too much down that road who's the fourth major angel Orion where is he why doesn't he show up right so we know it's those of you that see the elaborated prayer for going to bed I mean we know that it says that there are four angels that surround me there's one angel in front of me called Oriel the light of God so he lights the way there is the angel to the sight of kindness me could tell who is like god that's McCoy oh there's the one on the Left which is power the angel of fire that is Gabrielle keyboard Kel the mighty God and then there's the one behind me full of stuff I screw up on my life he'll make it all better Raphael is with fluffy things the healing he makes everything good so the three peripheral angels come but not Maria why because now God had allowed Abraham to gloat is such a spiritual level than the olive of Abraham would replace in this world or real Abraham would now be the or tell the light of God in other words now that he was able to beat the light of Orcas Dean he could now rise to a higher light he would become the light of God and in the light of God he now would work in this world as real in fact it's a meta trauma that even says that who real himself says that now Abraham I am not needed in this world because now Abraham is the source of that light so this is when it when Abraham's encountering these three angels he's encountering them because he's basically now being taught that he will interact with these three angels in this world how do you bring up that angelic light as long as were on this and then we'll dive into demons so it's very interesting when they used to come visit thee hasn't been to blend one of the great rabbis generation he would always stare at the open tall wood in front of him and when he stared at if the visitors would often asked like you know eye contact below you know a little human like why are you staring me it says no you understand I'm listening very carefully to what you're saying but in the Talmud is the or happy news is the hidden of God and therefore I know that by steering with all of the right cup unknowns all of the right ideas I can actually extract the hidden light and convert it and use it for blessing I have that ability that's why I called her son the visionary are the one who can be able to bring that light out of that how does that work so if you look at the four primary angels and you take the first letter of each name it spells the word go more up which is Tomlin you have Gabrielle you have McCoy Yao Raphael oh yeah Gamora so therefore when a person concentrates carefully in the learning of the oral torah the Tom would they are able to extract the Holy Light and then allows the four angels to engulf them and above them should not tell the divine presence hovers over that person that becomes like that which was the element that protected Abraham from the fires of or custom okay so now our mission is demons what elevates we already identify them and the only place that homage and important so the theme is running clearly called demons is actually devoting but the Gomorrah seems to have many sources and international many references to demons and is so hard abner endless all we're going to do tonight is focus on a kind of an aerial view as I mentioned this is like you go to Hollywood and you get on that little bus and you drive and they tell you oh that's where like you know Fred Astaire live so we're gonna go to demon land and just kind of like Bob around and hopefully all of us will make it back safely and sort of take a look at that so the question is where did the demons come from so it seems to me that there's a particular female entity who according to many sources including Tom Wanek sources was actually married to Adama to Panama and this female source their relationships and she becomes the mother of all demons and since there is a tradition which I'm not gonna mess with you know what was afraid into a class like this you see the wrong so before I got through me that shouldn't happen so I have my like fireproof suits this on so I'm just gonna do store her name and I'm just called her Lila it's dead Lila 12 Lila of the night and so the idea that Lila it says that by heard there are many sources things more by the way if anyone wants after this class if you get my email from Aaron and I'd be happy to say you all the sources that I'm using tonight so in case you want to go back and look something although I skied to get to home I start saying buggy go this that and so on all the rest of that so it begins by pointing out that this was potentially the mother of all the birth of all of the demons in fact there's even one Gomorrah with the Lord cautions that a person should not sleep alone at night unless there's a light on in the house because if Gomorrah is there if not it could be seized by and the turn is the mother of all demons and of course again brings Leila as the reference there it also says that this is kind of everything gets a lot of funk here today hopefully one of my subliminal messages is to make you have a whole new insight into Tom would like you probably get a few into Shiva or be if you never really learned go more so here's a wildly more donor it says if a woman gives birth to a human's baby which already surprise but if a woman gives birth to a human baby with wings that looks like Lila the mother of demons nonetheless the baby is still considered human but just has wings which is one of the things I totally love about public bathrooms it's one and not blown away by this it's not whoa it's just simply with a practical issue doesn't that kid put on tefillin or not is he human is he demon so therefore they Dean so to speak that this kid even though he's got wings and might look like a demon now nonetheless these human just happens to have wings rubber has an amazing story when he talks about a particular famous diamond known several times in shops by the very demonic name of Herman right like in the Munsters I always wonder like you Jewish writers if they only drew their material from where it came from so Herman Munster really shouldn't Herman demon because we'll see later that demons a madman monsters or monsters so this demon was actually spotted jumping back and forth going over a bridge in the middle of Babylon where he was jumping from one mule to the other side one racing horse to the other racing horse balancing between him two cups of wine back and forth but the reason I'm bringing two here is he was identified as the son of Lila the mother of all demons so there are many references here of who could it be that was actually the moment however there's a second opinion and the second thing is quite interesting is from the robot and the robot says that the mother of all demons was actually nama now we always think of nama as Noah's wife not that long ago we did partials Noah that's the nice thing I love about this part of the year you never hear anybody say excuse me what portrays it this way okay so a couple weeks ago was just noah and there we see nama and nama is his wife so they usually say that what happened was first she was married to the king or actually the name here is she madonna who was the one together with her produced Ozma died who were gonna see a lot about later because he was or is the king of all demons cool yeah you know I mean it suppose like you know just generic events like the minions right no different types of demons you have to know where they are this is the King demon it's good to be the king so the King demon however he says trace actually that this was a marriage that not had and then later she was able to elevate herself when she became of course Noah's wife and that's ultimately the mother of all the world so we're gonna go now into a whole bunch of different categories category one is what are the differences between demons and ghosts what are demons ghosts are ghosts is is ghosts a subset of demons so the answer really is is quite actually the ring fought in the Gemara brings that ghosts appear with a clothing that they were buried in and I always have a philosophy that especially in Europe that actually the source of ghosts cuz we just encountered a ghost in or a ghost house in Sweden the source of ghosts is actually I always thought maybe just religious Jews that they would have their Tallis on their white sheets and they would be out there like the Breslin or you know swaying and somebody would walk by and they would hear instead of how will he knew here not not right but whatever it was they would be where he peace right thanks son from afar the non-jews was a wall or must be ghosts but anyway whatever it is we know that ghosts are actually there many chemours which is not for tonight but there are many doors I've talked about ghosts ghosts are from humans ghosts aren't human souls as potent trapped Souls they weren't able to leave the Earth's pull at this point but this is nothing to do with what demons are demons are also not dragons there is an amazing dragging story in the top of the seven headed dragon particular a becomes to the baby Josh of abaya and through circumstances beyond his control he's forced to spend the night in their synagogue which was way out in the field where no body was and they wanted to set the rabbi up that he should actually be there because they knew that this monster would attack him and because of the holiness of the rabbi he could feat the dragon so I mean just get that visual right or like in about I don't know over two thousand years ago and some you know completely abandoned field and there's this big stone like structure and maybe a few little torches burning off the side and shadows everywhere right shadows should dollard's everywhere and here he is kind of like sleeping but like with one eye big wide open like a little radar I you know I hear myself Gary Larson cartoon where do you came up with a little tube that you could use so when you're in bed you could be completely under the sheet with nothing exposed but still getting air right so the monsters could get you right so he's like that but like one I constantly and then I'm sure enough manage me here like way handle and there comes this flying seven headed dragon and so the babbling jumps out of bed and he founds bowl of food to a coach each time he bounced which cut off one of the heads he was able to cut off the seven heads and that was the end of that demon core the rapper was very upset he was to say you know because one whoops and you're out but nonetheless that dragon is not a demon so what did really far do this so the first real source we have is that when when it talks about humble melech King Solomon when it said that King Solomon ruled over the upper worlds become more as says that over the upper world this is a very important point upper world right above us upper world it means that he ruled over the demons this is what the who are clearly since so then we Gabbar goes even further it says what is the difference between a demon and an angel and what is the difference between a similarity between a demon and a human being so the gomora says that the difference these are - think how are the demons similar to angels and how our demons similar to human beings so they're similar to angels because they have wings of course we learn about ray from the surprised mother right and then of course they can fly like angels can from one end of the universe to the other end of the universe and because like angels they can hear what's being said in heaven how are they like human beings so the gomorrah says because they eat and drink and coal and because they have intimacy night i'm sure is red hot but we don't go there and then they also have little babies and they've also died of old age so again the whole image of is the hollywood images that we were plagued with suddenly here you have there's somehow you know we're like going into outer space to try to find other life forms according to Cazale there's a life form right here that we haven't really been in contact with or have touch and you have a whole mannerisms they are kind of angelic half-human which is why it would make sense when it said that King Solomon had a rule the other worlds to even be able to control the demons the Torah even goes on talking about demons and cannons brings evil aura of a particular mommy demon with her little boy demon and she's yelling out to the little boy being and saying hey don't play near that tree because that's where your daddy's demon got killed and sure enough what was that that's unfortunately where you know she was little baby demon because he was by that tree now I don't know if demon seed Shiva I don't know you know what's the mourning process but we definitely see a certain component here now of course the key question is which everybody's gonna start looking around the room how do you tell the difference between a demon and human right so the wings aren't necessarily to give away this you can have them tucked in behind your shirt so the question is become more discuss it how do you tell the difference and we have more answers and I'll follow this up with just pure Gomorrah in a second it answers it was a demon shadow doesn't have a shadow human shadows have a shadow to the shadow see what but demon shadows their shadow doesn't have a secondary length a little extra on the shadow of their show this happen so depression so become or else where it says it keeps you curious I will give you this source it's an Evoque de sera I'm page 48 be where the good more there clearly defines what's called a shadow a shadow is you want to know how the distinguished that could be relevant some day here in the elevator with some suspicious-looking people so the next question becomes is how do you tell the difference between a demon and a witch might have a witch again with Halloween what's probably even without a witch so the allure says that a demon will ask for a specific type of a vessel before it casts a spell whereas a witch can cast the spell with any kind of a vessel the Camorra talks about the idea that there are unique languages and it mentions the language of angels the language of palm trees and the language of demons in fact the moral elsewhere says ribbon you don't have been Zack I not only did he know all of this the written Torah the oral torah Jewish law Agatha and the abstract what we would call the Kabbalistic and also the rabbinic and you also know astronomy and he also do geometry but he also knew whatever this means clothes washer laundry men's proverbs he also knew Fox fables and he also knew the language of the demons palm trees angels and of course you know you say uncover the secrets of creation itself one more Gomorrah about the history of what are the demons likes or says and this should bring to you like Marvel movies especially x-men right so every time the bad guys turn into different people right every two seconds they're turning into different people so you don't really know where they are well this is the power of the demon because the lore says that mana like the bread that we the Rastafarian gritty mana that comes down from heaven so that red is compared to demons why horses because it changes form many times it's just sort of like adjusting female but here's a really cute thing I love about demons and this is probably if you're like really encountering a demon and you want to bust him or her so just be aware that demons will never use God's name in vain so that could be an indicator sure because unfortunately that person but not a demon in fact it even goes on to say that dreams are delivered to human beings the dreams are actually delivered either through angels or demons these are also mentioned there is bug demons themselves and then numerous Ezra yo Quran it says it we all didn't knew 300 different types of demons in one city and nonetheless he confessed he could not understand their essence so this is a very interesting idea as well again they're all not just like remember when you were like we're making girls through this more than guys you take a piece of paper and you fold it up and you cut out one dollar then you've overdone off well I booked the like that's not demons if one village alone or City had over 300 different types of demons there's a whole amazing myriad of what these entities are probably all about this I now call this is only one source because of the strange nature this is really very very deep cuddle-up in fact it's so deep cut a lot a I have no idea was talking about be even if I did I didn't wouldn't know that I didn't know and see me when you hear it'll also realize you don't know but I will just read the words okay so the gomorrah says after seven years a male hyena becomes a bat and the bat becomes a thorn and thorn becomes a demon so I'm just leaving you with that formula in case you want to like you know go to the zoo and kind of like Corral a few little hyenas so you can just start you know producing your own little demon farm but what actually that means I have I have no idea but here's something I found extremely cute that not only the demon is not use God's name in vain but they have a very holy nature in fact you can water says that even demons worry check this out even demons worried about their portion in the world to come yeah I mean we always think about the idea of the world to come as something that is human because we have free will and through our free will were making significant choices that impact our being and that being is once we shed our corporate shell that being that we built inside of us is going to be our essence forever you know and you know he's talking about the person who ignores their life would get so involved in the seven colors of the rainbow that they never find a deep spiritual meaning life and then all of a sudden after 120 years when the person dies you know and there's this unbelievable vast universe and all they built with their life is that little scooter right as opposed to what you could do with your life it's unbelievable what you can pack in with growth with wisdom with development with knowledge with actions with speech when you could become the so much sense when a human being is born in this world it's like a new Sun as UN is created but if you navigate this world properly when you leave this world is over says it's like a new galaxy has been born but if you have a look at in these deep space Hubble photos it's mind-boggling what's out there and that's our opportunity that's fine so hard does not call this world a world of truth it doesn't call it a world of peace actually pulls it out of the chakra a world of lies but what it most importantly calls it is Olesya a world of performing doing action while the clock ticks this is our secret opportunity to elevate ourselves in our life so now we're going to turn to the king I said before it's kind of good to be the game become more talks about this incredible story I'm sure most of you know it so I I won't go through it but the bottom line is Q Solomon wants to build a temple there's a restriction on how the altar can be built because since the altar is a single piece a sword could not be used so they leave a little word called the shabbier which could eat through stone and that little worm would be able to allow to you Solomon to build the altar and the only person who knew this little worm was was the king of the demons and therefore been yellow God is sent on a mission to capture the king and once he captures him that's how you get the little bug or the little worm and through that and so on but the Kimura doesn't just simply shortcut it really goes through the whole story and it brings out the beautiful side of the king of the demons it says while the demons are naturally prone to damage it's that personal it's just in a matter moving a house Lynette klutz so I guess maybe that's their nature their nature is they're prone to damage that says nonetheless as he was damaging things left and right trying to get free from having been captured by this great Jewish general at one point is he was about to destroy a house he saw there was an elderly widow who lived in the house and so therefore he twisted and contorted in a way that actually broke one of his own bones so as not to destroy the house in order woman amazing idea it gives a whole different kind of vision and the life to what's going on here in fact the human also says that as this journey was going on the king encountered one of the sorcerers of Jerusalem sorcerer is somebody who is sitting there laying out actually can we call it the opinion page in newspapers but in those days he used to be known as people who said they could predict the future and so the sorcerer was there and he was explaining what the future was all about and the King Billy laughs at any who says you think that you know the future you know the way anything about the future in fact you don't even know about the treasure that's buried beneath your feet and of course the commentators explained this is a very famous one of the held stories I'm sure a lot of people know as well about the guy has the dream and there's a treasure it's at the end of the bridge he's thinking the bridge and sure enough it's right there under his feet so this is really what it took the king of the demons to give to Hoffa to give rebuke to a sorcerer saying what are you wasting your time peeking you can figure out the future that the future will be the direct result of living correctly in the earring now the treasure that's under your feet the other thing which I also thought was interesting was again this King was a hostage for seven years during the time that the defendant dish was being built but ultimately he had a battle with King Solomon and according to Jewish traditions at least the tumbling traditions he blew literally blew Solomon out of this universe and remembered demons can take forms he became King Solomon sleeping with all of King Solomon's wives right so he's something that a whole new being look like King Solomon ruled the world when King Solomon the more says until the Sanhedrin the great court discovered what was going on and they were actually able to bring back the original kings it was ruled here's the best part I love about the team I mean they're hundreds of photography's dozens of references I'm trying to streamline a little bit here but another one is it says what does the king of demons do I mean what does he do it's kind of just a question so the Lord says then he goes to the yeshiva Shambala he goes to the heavenly Torah baby drives learning room and he sits there and studies Torah with all of the angels by night and by day that's what he's back down here on the earth as well so now let's go into the band demons because of all kinds of users like that yes there are all kinds of people and the question really is aren't demons harmful so the Gomorrah qualifies this right away with it almost in a way that believe you know it's kind of like that kind of the Jewish thinking which is you use your right hand to scratch your left ear so this is like this the rule is she doesn't carefully if a person does not worry about protecting themselves from demons the demons won't bother you if a person makes an effort to protect himself from demons the demons will find you that's how they can we're apologizing it's almost as if to say show repose sighing like ash and protects the fool so someone's like saying you know just do what you were created you just be human don't we're not thieves do you need to do demons aren't really just in you and he hath we got their own thing to feeling their worries either go to heaven as we saw right so another value but as soon as you become the uber hostile the smart guy who's all of a sudden got the little Kamiya and this and that all the rest of it so they're make sure you're really doing it right because basically what you're doing is saying I'm guarding as soon as you say now you're gonna take you up on that and if I have money on that it's not gonna be on you so the question is you really want to get involved in that space that's the gomorrah suggestion and in fact the court goes on another place says that there are explains when a person even needs to be suspicious of demons for example courses here then there was a great angel when the angels called Surya who was standing before God and he taught ready smile ok ffiv members of story you see the Sun during the underwriting is that unfortunately when the ten martyrs before they were killed so ready schmoitle using different names of God when upstairs to see if it was the will of God and they should surrender their lives but this was not the only time there may be some oil had used these talents to go in to the higher world so Norris is that once when he came up to the high world so this angel had to tell British moil that he has to be careful because when you come to heaven there are always a group of demons who are waiting for a person to fall I mean it's it just I mean take it out of the demon framework in a minute only just sort of maybe see a sign point here which is another concept we talked about which is also called the Yeats of Hara or the evil inclination although this is not what demons are about but the bottom line is is that the baal shem tov tells a very beautiful new josh says that every time a person's evil inclination gets a person to sin he rips his clothes and sits on the floor morning and every time a person overcomes his ate Sahara or his evil inclination the yetze hara makes a party and celebrates because the function of the evil inclination is to be defeated its function is not to win this is not other people who talked about a war between a fallen angel and you know hells angels and heavens angels this is about one god where it's all about growth and light and love that's what it's all about we in an opaque world often lose vision that's our challenge is to overcome that but nonetheless it will peak world in this world a challenge from our evil side is nothing more than a barbell it's the very weight of the barbell that's going to build your muscle and therefore by using it correctly one can instead of stress avoidance one does stress management one can build from even negative negative power is not negative negative power is the opportunity to become stronger on positive energy and that's like this thing might get here that the nature of the world therefore this every time the person strives to become higher there's going to be greater antibodies to push that person back down why should they just be osha lack of welcome Robbo the answer is twofold one it tests your mettle David asks the question he says who will go up on the Mount of God but he then adds another question because everybody goes up now and then everybody gets turned on everybody's buzzed everybody suddenly has an epiphany that's that's doable the question is who will stay there that's what she days who will go up on the mountain of God and who will remain because not unfortunately most people don't be made we get turned on or inspired but we don't dig in and stay there and so therefore we don't because we are met with resistance which I tried my fail this is why the Gomorrah says that restraining evil people which is a horrible translation for the word of showing because there are no evil people there just from the word rush which means boys there are heavily confused people a lot of noise in their head so people with a lot of noise are filled with ego that's usually the noise in their voice and so this voice says I try I failed on that again where is the book with a puss suit goes on further from King Solomon says a righteous person what's a righteous person not a holy person not a saint we're not Saints a righteous person so simple human being who never quits he always goes so deep sod tough he's always going to the side of holiness free will I pushed myself to goodness free will to push myself to goodness and therefore even though he failed seven times he gets up the eighth time because he persevered she persevered they grow they continue they never give up so therefore this is in the Wynwood the angel was telling them you soil that when you spiritually grow when you want to elevate yourself be aware that it's going to become harder than it was before and every effort to improve yourself will be met with great resistance and through that resistance that you can hang tight you will actually be able to elevate yourself to another level as well ok here's a little interesting catches we're on the subject now of our demons actually dangerous so the talmud lists certain people actually need protection from demons because their muscle their luck right Mazel Tov is not told it's not good your luck is weak and therefore they are vulnerable and those being people who are unfortunately the product of another person's jealousy people who are sick a bride and a groom a woman who is just given birth even if the baby doesn't have wings like we said before a mourner and a scholar who goes out at night why these that's not the flesh we're just doing the 3,300 foot elevation here demons can only harm somebody if they're in the exact place that they were told to harm that person so if you just move out of harm's way then you are probably going to be ok in fact this is the next quote by the way you don't employ these morning took they're not like kind of lined up you know they like pulled out from all over the Talmud so I just line them up from the night class but there's an amazing story of the queen of Persia if from Pullman's who once came to rub up because she wanted to have the rabbi perform a miracle to bring rain in order to show her son who was the that the Jews are a Greek and holy people financially a Israel in Iran purged of course so she comes she was a big fan of the Jews she came to this great rabbi you see have to do a miracle you got to make it rain so that everyone will know that the Jews are a holy people and so he did and it rain however that night the more says brothers father came to him in a dream and he said that he was very concerned because the fact that he bothered God to make rain when it wasn't supposed to rain that there was a squadron of demons that had been dispatched from upstairs coming down to do with him so what did he do he switched beds and when he woke in the morning before says that his normal bed was filled with knives so that the Lord brings as an example that demons will only be allowed to cause damage in the place that they were told okay now another amazing idea of demons is ignore says that there are actually 18,000 demons in this one particular squadron that might be able to actually there are 18,000 demons who are led by a particular demon known as a breath bot mattias and she would come out every night and just through the land right kind of like a better than I got shooting started my eighteen thousand demons led by this demon lady charging down to the earth until she came into and the famous rabbis of the tullman canina Ben dosa who actually limited her that she can only come on Friday nights and Tuesday nights and that's not that continued until she had the misfortune of encountering few generations later a bio an abaya was one of the later on the Roya he then actually said you know what if we can just like cut this out altogether no more visits to Planet Earth sorry go find the planets and that was the end of her in those squadrons bigger motor said that there are two destructive demons one is called angler that's his name and the other one is called wrath I'm just using the translations as I found him and they both came to actually try to kill motion obey no instead he was actually able to kill one of them he was able to kill wrath but even so he remained afraid that the other armies of the demons would come to revenge rats yeah so this is just whatever they're more it's worth that's what Gilmore says there are four things that were created with a bad spirit sorry there are four things that create a bad spirit with demons and witches came back to Halloween I'm just gonna read this okay so urinating between a palm tree and the wall where there is less than 4 L moat so that there's no other way for the demon to get around definitely I guess that's why the one puts us here to walk you between two palm trees where there's no other public pass three drinking borrowed water from a child in a field where there is no other water ok sure that's not too often I don't know without my Boy Scout Handbook and for passing over spilt water unless the spilt water has been there for longer than 60 days in which case you should go over it with your shoes on so this is okay now from that that leads into our next session which is how do you protect yourself from demons if you are already concerned about such a thing so the motive jumps into the world of applets and incantations it starts here with it's important that you know specifically which Hamlet for which demon you're dealing with there was a movie like I wasn't there where the vampire jumps out he pulls out the cross I'm Jewish right so I don't know annal it is going to work with much kind of a demon you know you can be ready to demon go hahaha sorry doesn't work ok actually might be a friend of mine who once went back to America in Long Island where I was from it's going to all the houses for free to check things as oh and he would find like in English 10 commandments printed in you know Japan all these different like amazing so I guess you have to be careful checking your outlets as well so Talmud says that how do you fight demons with Pamela's well again there are the caper tree demons but they're blind so you don't have to worry too much about them there are the sorbets read demons but only if they're here is city in large numbers and then they're the ones who have found on the rooftops which are the flaming demons is anybody here print in China so or maybe you've seen in photos so one of things I love that they're so beautiful are you going to China you see all the little dragons on the edge the defensive there nine Dragons or seven dragons and so on so these are all the little dragons there which are to protect I can't fake it because the evil spiritual but maybe you know this might also have the flaming demons on the rooftops in or a consensus started about a particular Watchmen who was trapped by demons and they were dancing all around him you know a little animated visual there until a particular rapper I was able to combine quickly right an amulet in hand with him and he was able to escape these demons Tommen also says that they're incarnations to free a person who is possessed by a demon by using the names of demons that reminds me of like you know snake venom use the fight this they fight or maybe a little bit more like The Exorcist you know possessed by demons and so it says one example for a happy a little more of an example is the incantation to be used to be safe from demons that live in the bathroom right you throws aerosol so it's not it is and I will quote this is the best like you do for translating so forgive me on the head of a lion inside the knot stroll of a lioness is the demon bar shreeka Punda in a field of leaks I knock them down using a jawbone of a donkey I smashed him course those of you that are familiar with tonight well immediately think of shin shot with his famous battled with the jawbone of a donkey that he beat many of the Feliz team and so on okay how do you protect yourself another way besides Amundsen incarnation is actually with Torah Thomas says that somebody who is feeling weak in their knees it might just simply be a problem that the demons are pushing too hard against you right so when you go to your chiropractor you might want to ask well maybe it's demons that are actually doing this oh of course how do you think of that right so therefore if you want to know how to heal weak knees it's very simple simply quote the tehilim Psalm number 91 it won't hurt you might even help you never know a non-invasive Salam rub muna says that each person has actually a thousand demons on his left side in ten thousand miles right side I do it again left and right and it is said that the verse number seven seventh verse in the song number 92 interesting 91 92 is a way of defending against these demons which surround the person if a person goes walking at night they should recite to protect themself from the demons the famous verse in tehilim number 23 which I could have borrowed this from any translation even though I walk through the darkest Valley and so on that's the first used to protect another way to protect against even system or goes into prayer merit and good old common sense I mean I find I find all of these makes sense except common sense you know like okay yeah you're dealing might be using Apple but uh hey just practical common sense we're gonna die so Thomas says that it's a wise idea to say the shmatte every night before you going to sleep because through the power of prayer which contain is 248 words which is the word Ramada which are opposite with 248 parts of his human body every one of those words protect another part and limb of the body and this will push away the demons and the number says which demons which demons the ones that are found under your bed so it's not the boogeyman don't get him in here it's a demon that live under the bed so just before tomorrow the Tama said that a body was once walking down the street with RO Papa on his right and one on his left when he saw the morning demon coming quickly at him and it quickly took him papa and put him on his left side to protect against the demon and Papa higher so it was a little concerned about that like hey yo using me as a human shield you know we know a lot of this in the Gaza war unfortunately so here even in spiritual wars against demons here's the rabbi's using rabbis as human shields against demons so he says why don't you do that so if I said because I know time is on your side otherwise your time to leave this world hasn't come up so therefore you they definitely absorb whatever was going to happen and it would be no danger that would be prevalent at that point someone overcome by a demon on new wine should be barbecue lean meat and diluted wine okay just a little case you have any entry no why Thomas also says there is a something called pool P uch which is a mascara for women it's a mascara that not only makes a person look beautiful it removes demons and it also stops tearing and it increases the hair growth of eyelashes so I don't know if Moshe the pharmacist no mirror has any fool but you might just like check it out on an atlas fun Amazon Doc demons they might have it over there so that many more says that while sleep is known as the 60th of death when a person wakes in the morning is why it's very important because obviously supporting the Tsar but this is not fourth in the world the Zohar says that a human soul can only be vertical it can never be horizontal should never be horizontal so therefore when a person who goes to sleep in their horizontal the possible is now vertical and the angel of death collects all the souls when we that's why sleep is like a 60th of death and then we go through a mini resurrection of the Dead when we come back to life but because we died if you will there's a certain impurity that exists inside of us and that impurity when we as our soul comes back in our body is actually pushed until it's at the very tip of our fingers so there was evenly distributed through the whole body is now in the very tip of our fingers and that's why it's very important now you
