It's time to K*LL Amalek and harmful thoughts 💭

we allow the amalik voice to occupy space in our mind and we entertain that voice and we even listen to it bad things happen when we listen to the voice that encourages less passion that encourages more apathy relationships tank Spirits break motivation drops and like is no longer fun and you look at people and it's like what happened to your spark man what happened to your joy what what happened to your relationship what happened to the love and the passion what happened to the singing Friday night or or whatever on shabus you know the the like like where's your joy where's your soul that's what a mik is trying to do it's psychological warfare trying to abduct our soul and how do we fight back against that apathy about against that coldness well through more warmth more passion more love how do we do this though so I read a beautiful Insight from theb that I'd like to share with you the Reb had pointed out in one of his talks that when the enation of amalik the spiritual concept of a Malik the internal uh amalik is sending those negative messages to us and trying to cool us down that itself self is an indication that we have the heat we have the warmth we have the fire we have the passion if a Malik is trying to rob us from Passion we have it if it's trying to instill within us skepticism and cynicism that must mean we have faith so instead of focusing on the problem which is those negative voices trying to attack us why don't we focus on strengthening what they're trying to attack if it's trying to rob you of your soul that means you have a soul focus more on that or like the a little bit of light This spells a lot of darkness and I the truth is I I see this on a on a clinical level I was meeting once with a couple in a counseling session and they they were going through a lot of problems and challenges I should say you know they had difficulties and I asked them toward the beginning of the session before they even told me what their problem was what are the best hopes from our discussion like if this was a successful discussion you felt good coming out of here you felt like it was productive what would be different and they started describing the things that they had wanted in their relationship which was the passion and the love and and all the things that they had once had which told me that those things are there on on some level and I started asking questions um that invited them to describe the presence of those things they were looking for the presence of love the presence of passion the presence of trust and they did because if you feel like something is robbing you from connection connection must be there and if something's robbing you from love or passion or something is trying to rob you from your joy all those things must be there on some level and we have to shine the spotlight on those and look for more of those and that destroys a Malik that destroys the negative forces the internal negative forces you can call this psychological you can call this spiritual you could call it the yat Sara or the animal Soul there's all sorts of synonyms for this but the point is at times there's internal psychological warfare where we're just we feel like we're being robbed of our identity that we're most proud of and rather than focusing solely on the problem the fact that our identity is being robbed focus on what's being robbed and do more behavior and noticing that invites what you actually want more into your life inviting more light into your life somebody once asked me he said I I'm going through a hard time he felt a little depressed and he's like my joy my soul my light I feel like it's just diminished it's gone and I said to him well how would you know it's there and he starts describing it he starts describing what he thought was gone and who would notice it and he starts describing how his wife would notice how his joy and Spark is back and he and I I was literally just pushing him in a very respectful way to look for what he had Lo thought he had lost or what he thought was being robbed from him and the more he focused on noticing that the more he realized it's actually there when a Malik comes and says and tries to cool us down tries to instill us with apathy and self-doubt what that means is there is somebody there with faith with warmth and passion worth attacking when you feel attacked you're worth attacking and focus on the self-worth that's already there that's my story and I'm sticking to it
