Rabbi Yitzchak Feldheim - Magical Phenomenon of Torah

part we spoke about was about miracles explaining how nice in miracles work the second part we dealt with a few of the mysterious laws the hukum and in this part we're going to deal with magical phenomena interesting things in the Torah first after pologize our my voice is a little hoarse I just married or for my first trial of my all this I almost felt like my daughter brocco last night we had a corona wedding with limited but it was still the joy and the pride wasn't limited I'm very proud and my new son-in-law you who don't bracha you wouldn't you should have a build with eternal home with the Jewish people you should be a source of markers and these generations of loyal upstanding Torah Jews and experienced the knockoffs of the Jewish people I'm just sharing this with you because you learned Torah with somebody in your family that's how it works and there's no bonding like the bonding of Torah so my life is your life so thank you for being here and this is part of the symbol of during the seven days of feasting after let's feast on some Tyra today actually the haka is I was throwing in my lucky is that you have to have three meals on Travis right but the third meal it says that learning Torah is is is is is considered a feast so you don't have to actually if you can't find food so in corona it's a little hard to have parties so we can feast on her this is considered a wedding feast so let's let's have a little wedding feast here so what are we gonna do okay we're gonna talk about this is so many things I had absolutely cool stuff in the Torah it's a mission and almost ethics of the fathers that lists all the magical items do with God created the world in six days and he rested on the Shabbos and the Mishna says well the mission of missus is in fact before the mission is that there's a space in between the week in Chaves meaning Friday night after the Sun sets the week is over but the stars it's Twilight in between the stars haven't come out yet so Shabbos doesn't technically really begin until the Stars come out so that space in between the Sun setting and the stars coming out is called bein Hashem you chose between the luminaries and this time with between the luminaries is a mystical time it's a it's a special time but but the Mishnah is dealing with in the following sense is that if God created the world in six days and he rested on the Shabbos what happened during the intermediate time right so it's the fifth chapter of us if you want to see yourself and and Mishna says it's so it's 5/8 of father of Ava's I guess they call it ethics of the fathers sorrow varam Nibiru by Arabs Chavez Danish marshals God created ten things on Friday night of creation whatever the the in after Friday and then so the creation period ended but the resting period hadn't started yet so all the magical mystical things in the world were created then the the the mouth of bilham's donkey the donkey that spoke to the Prophet Balaam the staff of Moshe the well of Miriam the rainbow the mana that film the desert the whatever a lot of things right one day I'll do class properly we'll do a 10 part series on each day actually there's ten things but then there are two a few opinions that there were extra things motions burial-place and whatever this three-way argument the Mishnah so what the first everyone agrees on ten then one cop one one of the the authors of the Mishna says two more things in this earth and the last one says though no you know what the RAM of Isaac um when but Arcada when you thought was supposed to sacrifice Isaac and I should have said don't do it but then he looked into bushes and he saw a ram that was prepared appeared there in the bushes that Ram was prepared in the bushes from already at this point fascinating stuff it deserves the class on each of the ten things well uh school we can't do everything in one day but I'm gonna try and focus on a few of them together if you want to know exactly what I'm doing in advance we'll see I don't know we were gonna go it's just gonna clock you know stream-of-consciousness stuff without Turner but I'm gonna try and I need to give a little direction I'm gonna try and focus on on like the staff is very pervasive motion with his staff and Aaron's staff and the staff through into a snake and eating pharaohs so many stories of the staff and I want to deal with the staff and I wanna deal with Bill his donkey talking donkeys maybe they'll talk about and since the staff turns into a snake we'll talk about the Google we'll talk about talking animals talking donkeys talking snakes and the Garden of Eden is a talking snake I'm not sure next time we when we do this in order ten time it'll be organized this is gonna be fun so let's consider it talking animals in the Torah and all the different sticks sticks sticks and stones sticks and clubs and okay so where do we start so let's look let's start with the first place that that were introduced really to Moshe and his stick it's when when Moshe is gonna be the leader of the Jewish people and he comes to Moshe by the burning bush this I want you to go tell the Jews think about it let my people go to Pharaoh let my people go and take the staff and Moe and Moshe asked how I need signs to prove to the people that I believe sent me so I show who says here is your signs that you would leave what are the signs of leadership sign number one is pick the staff throw it on the ground and it becomes a snake grab it back in your hand and it becomes a staff and he tries it he does it that's miracle number one miracle number two is you take your hand and put it into your take out into your breast you know like like Napoleon you know okay see you dude Napoleon thing and and and no she does that and pulls it out and it's white with leprosy right sir ass on his hand his hand turns white and then I said okay put it back in and he puts it back into his chest and it turns back to a regular flesh no the-- and those are your songs that you like oh those are the signs that i sent you so to them interesting signs of leadership so we'll use this that's the beginning point of understanding what a stick is and then don't just fascinating places maybe I'll play a little more about six now and so then you can click after you tell you now ok so what happens then is then he goes to Pharaoh and he does it they throw the sticks down Aaron throws the stick down motion stick and and Pharaohs and he first he shows the Jews the signs and Jews believing and then he does this liquid Pharaoh and Pharaohs advisors also throw sticks down their sticks and they turn their staffs and they turn also when this makes interesting but motions stick swallows their snakes and maybe we'll talk about the Gemara the Talmud tells us note doesn't say Moshe snake eats their snakes like we both made snake my snakes better your snake no motions stick swallow snakes they're my give laboratory my tell you they were absorbed into his into it was swallowed and absorbed into Moshe staff what's the snake the same the original snake new snakes what's with the snake that's what that snakes in the dog out that sticks in the Torah and donkey talking donkeys matter so then then motion there's a lot of toys with sticks I'm gonna focus on the most elaborate story of sticks there is the story of the rebellion of Korah in the rebellion of Korah correct correct gathers people together motion is in the process of appointing point in the Torah of Caracas they're appointing the cohan's and the ladies they're giving the positions of Hashem has given them the command the motion is implementing the laws of who should who's gonna be a Cohen who's gonna be late preparing them for their work correctly it's rebellion he says what are you doing this for why are you creating a caste system higher levels coins ladies call I ain't a Coulomb good notion the entire assembly they're all holy it's the holy people why we all stood up down sauna we always see the Torah why are you creating hierarchies and under privileged and elitist since you know code that's correct argument the very common arguments been make their unwitting made throughout history it's it you know I'm no for studying in this class in full will see I know I don't know yet what we're going with this but um the Karaka so this is what that right so so Carrasco rubella and moat and all the people like they're very it's interesting they're they're very they're very in tune with coax argument the people are intrigued they say that's a really cool argument Moshe and Moshe gets Oh angry Moses says you know he says I've shared god this is crazy rebellion the ground has to if he this guy Valley mystic I have to die if he die is like a regular person that's not good enough the ground has to open up and swallow him whole and that's a tap what happens the ground opens up and swallows them whole Caracas him and guys and the people you see this is a really cool miracle like this because you know motion called it you know it's not like something happened he he said this is what should happen right like Babe Ruth hit many home runs in his life the most famous home run is the one you know he's 715 whatever but the most famous one is one home run way pointed into the stands and anyone here a right there and that that shows prowess that shows scale precision ability mastery so this is motions Babe Ruth moment I don't know many people had a motion moment yeah that was that was Moshe that was Babe Ruth motion movement but the most amount is we're saying the grounds gonna open up and swallow moments Caracas it now interesting when the people gather around they said motion why'd you kill him like it stops here what do you do it was a good guy it's a strange story a lot of different angles because because motion never motion always defends the Jews he's most humble person he doesn't demand is respect the prisoner forever complaining in the in the desert and motion goes to the mat talking to God you save them every time he spent the whole Torrance full of Moshe begging God for forgiveness that's his whole life he tells God even if you do anything to them then you race me from your book I don't want any part of your Torah talk to God like that why because of love for the Jews this is the most out of character story in the world where Moshe he goes to get that he fights cut he tells I shot the Cora he's gonna die doesn't make any sense but he does that so we can understand Moshe but but what happens that next is the people the motion does this unbelievable thing where he the graveled opens up exact like he says and you'd think they'd finally be convinced when the rebellion would have been used washed washed whatever we've been over but instead the people gather in motion to see what'd you do that for it's our theories good guy they're all angry at him why people reacting like that like why they gather around Cora from the rebellion who's this guy correct why even once he got put out of business and he died and they still like and so then this is the important point for this talk the other points are very important but the important point for this talk is some OSHA says okay let's settle this basically once and for all my gosh Emma says it's whatever settlement for all the leaders of all the tribes each one you supply us your staff and Aaron gives his staff and all the other leaders give their staff and they put them into the ground by the altar and Aaron's staff three things happens to it it sprouts valium all skatin it's my equals a tough word it's like when a child is weaned he becomes independent weaned by evil it's sort of the word sprouting rooted in the word weaned it's like coming out things like the kid is uh we're gonna talk about it hopefully alpha-male definitive but the word is somehow it sprouts almonds which Caden which the translation have skied them in Hebrew it Rashi says that ski damar the fact that was the word shocking means alacrity zeal diligence Oh like all in and says the reason why shade them are cold almonds are called of the same word as a lacquer it easy Olin and passion and hard work is is because of the fastest-growing fruit nothing grows as fast as almonds that's around she says it's shot there the fruit is busy too busy for productive so Erin staff sprouts on buy yachts eight tips it projects projections but yachts are fairer it flowers flowers come out of it projections come out of it and almonds come out of it three things happens to Erin's dead wood stick and the other sticks and now everyone sees that legal oh now we get it motion your eye very you're right forget we're sorry we ever did this correctly to rebellion everyone's on the side not everybody but they all sympathetic to his cause and mostly even punishes them they don't buy that doesn't work they're still upset and and now this is the breakthrough watch with the stick and this stick does three things crafts we're gonna analyze these things we're gonna get insight into the stick the magical stick of the magical sticks of the Torah okay I guess that that's all we'll say now for the overview because everything's gonna click in the end but all right so maybe say one more thing just a important thing to know about sticks is that we have primarily three words for the sticks in the Torah there's a shavette and Amata and a mock hell it's interesting the word shave it those who speak a little Hebrew know that a shave it is a stick and a tribe the Shabbat in the twelve Shevat in which what them would be sticks and joints and the same thing what matter Amata is a stick but it also needs a tribe not a lady not them you don't matter the Torah calls in this expression right because when they're traveling it's because they travel by shoe bottom and the Golem a place so it's interesting it's an interesting pattern that and even the word maka was a stick the other word for the group is called the cow right the Mack hey Louis so there's our only difference is that hey in the word but it's virtually the same word I'm not Hayley's the assemblies and immaculate is a staff so this is a we have to understand the correlation between these groups tribes and sticks and staffs and okay let's go further so so so we're gonna start at the beginning of sticks what is this thick what's the staff the idea of you hold the stick what is it it's a symbol but what does it symbolize like a king scepters as many images of leadership holding not that you necessarily need something to support you it at least I don't know in the world at least in Torah here's what sticks represented its Who am I what's asked the question who are we in previous classes I've talking about if I haven't if you haven't heard me a big theme I speak about is the Torah wants you to live the God created the world the goal is need to erase yourself and to us become ascetic the goal is to it is to be all that I shed wanted you to be that's our job our job is to occupy the piece of real estate I'm the piece of real estate that God gave me in the world we were all given a piece of reality and God wants you to fully actualize yourself and that's your job and the good information in the Ben equation there are two voices in your mind your dreams are the good voice the ADEs are called the dual a good inclination is your dreams it's the B so fill Bolinger to become the way you could be and the evil inclination you know kids with pictures the red guy in the shoulder but the grown-up understanding is the little white guy in the shoulder is you dreams in the little red guy is your fears and the dreams are saying stop just just just pull the cover over your head and put on put on your noise-cancelling headphones and the dreaming sorry you were saying get up early and let's go get busy okay so so the stickers like this if I have to define who I am I don't want to leave any of my personality on the table I want to be all that I could be so of course it means first it means using your being healthy and strong and being able to do all you could be not to not take care of yourself so you become incapacitated or if not incapacitated you're not performing at your optimum to be the optimum you you have to be unlimited it's me as healthy and as strong as you could be but that's the simple stage more significant as far as B bowl you could be then physically is the motion so you can accomplish as human beings we're not without I'm not max it's here to plow I'm primarily here for deeper things so more important although I have to be physically full because that's part of me I can't leave any of me on the table so that to be physically full but more important I have to be emotionally full I have to be able to be loving and considerate and I can't be weighed down by insecurities and fears and shame I have to be able to be vibrant and be deep and sensitive and caring develop myself and then more than that even the highest level is intellectually I have to be able to be smart and why it's an insightful and the greatest things is to figure stuff out and make sense out in the universe to experience the beauty of the world I can be all that I can be but here's where it gets interesting is that let's say you perfect your heart your mind your body that's it's very small the there are things in the world that allow you leverage to accomplish things you can never imagine what you can do on your own is nature you can do nature that's you're within your reach if you want do miracles miracles of things you never imagined how you do miracles you need a stick the stick creates wonders you know why a stick is the extension of you you know what this stick is you know you have the stick is your assets there are not the natural things that superficially you would include a tribe and a stick is the same thing because the tribe is your community and when you learn to work within a larger group then you accomplish things that no individual can you don't have to invent everything you don't have to be the farmer and the salesman and ax and the delivery guy different people do different things we work together if you could figure out how to make a machine the company a corporation you can conquer the world you don't get to the moon you don't be by you by going in a gym or even by going to a library it takes huge teams and efforts a person holds a staff means that I have ability to reach extend my reach this staff is the extension of your reach the things that allow you to extend your reach are our wealth money money is an unbelievable tool you know you can do with investments you can build and your family is more important and your community and you nations and your tribes the way we create way we complet sings is not just to end with your hand ends is to extend your reach and that's the staff the staff is the sign that I am reaching further a leader the sign of leadership is the staff because the leader is the one who can assemble a group of people as individuals we do we can miracles you want to see miracles then you gotta figure out how to work together and that you have to extend the word separate my my small life and the large things you can show someone what he could have built what could have been because it's impossible and then and then you claim him I give the show a guy yeah I don't know you so uh you know you show somebody uh our station then you go like you built this you know you were supposed to build this you know you could have been the guy who who dreamed of this and and knocked on doors and inspired people and created a team and you lobby Congress for funding and they and you know you created a groundswell of support and then they allocate funding and then you build the thing and yeah that was you you wrote the dream people you can't imagine if you if I showed everyone of you what you couldn't have done you would say it's a miracle and the secret of creating miracles is you gotta hold the staff in your hand if you end by your hand you can't do it so you need to surround yourself with people the problem is it's like everything in life holding the tribe your your group your team every staff can also be a snake you see when you when you when you when you allene and you just you still then you're in control and you limited damage can happen it's just me know that's why people like to travel alone tight no luggage you travel light to nothing how much bet and no can be lost you can there's no weak links I control all of them links but when a company expands too far then it loses control it's good to have a staff but you have to figure out how to control the staff the sign of leadership is that when you hold it in your hand when you control and you you're responsible and you have all your resources under responsible leadership firming your grip then it's a staff and you can change the world but when you assemble a team and you don't you it's not you let it out of your hand and you don't take control and you're not responsible if a company doesn't have right leadership the company the country doesn't have the right leadership then the staff turns into a snake it has no shape and now it's not just that doesn't do things it devours it becomes dangerous the sign of unbelievable what I said is the emotion this is this is the tourist guidance you know how your there's two signs these are magical signs to prove you're a leader it's if you can simulate these ideas that you could be the leader you come to the Jews with with the with meaning gosh emotions of how like I'm gonna show them our leader so shaman says you take the staff in your hand let it go into snake so less number one is what does that mean I shouldn't say you come yes you do the actual sign but the but the deeper thing you can't just do the motions you have to embody that you have to come to them to show them that you're responsible when they believe you that you can hold the staff in your hand then they'll trust get your productive and they'll follow you but if they say that we can't put him in control he's selfish he's lazy he's gonna wake up the company's gonna go to pop and it's gonna come and then this make won't be in his hand and they're not gonna it won't be they won't accept you but the other less I'm not gonna focus on that was it's not the Snape I'm gonna say because it's but sometimes you can become too controlling sam says song number one is if a leader is you have to be able to hold the stick in your hand but but don't hold your cards too close to your chest don't be too controlling the second sign is if you pick your hand in your in your breast pocket in your thing like a polian I mean what's the symbol of that is your you're too controlling you're not willing take your hand out then it will eat itself up you have to allow people to to be themselves and take your hand out of the chest it becomes it becomes a healthy flesh again leadership is the dance between these two things the ability to hope get expand yourself but the ability to withhold the expand itself firmly in control to husband your resources but if you don't it becomes a snake but if you control it - or thoughts and you're too harsh and you're too you'll squash them and it'll eat itself up into rivalries in the office and people looking for credit if you don't if you allow for the creativity everyone can express themselves if it's too controlled people will it'll eat itself they'll squash itself no silence voices it's not this okay but we live motion scientists North leadership is those two things you want to prove to me a leader you have to know both things you have to know how to be responsible in control hold the staff in your hand but at the same time you have to you have to know how to give people room it's not a simple task takes the Moses Moshe to be deleted with Jewish people and throughout history we have leaders who were flawed in both or one of the other and you can predict the calamities and the tragedies that result based on knowing which which side will they floor in okay next okay so now we have to get back to the story of Korah and the detailed understanding of the sticks the fix that sprout almonds project projections and growth flowers you know I should just say this also that this idea that the stick is the extension of the staff is the extension of you in the sense that it's a team that you used to round yourself with you know an efficient organization so that a stick represents your team your nation you group leveraging people let Trent it's not just in Hebrew we said has tribe and stick is the same word matter and shave that tribe and stick is similar in English you have the same thing it crosses over like the language back border of languages in English we call the staff the staff it's really perfect the staff is what Allah is the staff is the snick and the staff is what allows you to run your organization and we also have a club a club is like-minded people on a mission we're gonna do this the way in a club is a stick a stick represents an extension of self the true extension of self is not just the physical stick the metaphorical stick is your team your people now let's go to corral car is a tough story and we have I have to do it really quick I can't do a prong anybody wants to hear the whole story but listen I have a class called this heaven a red state or a blue state for us I'll just tell you corrects a political story Korath comes to Moshe we'd also a staff he comes with something called an Aida I've asked around the Assembly of Korah and he comes Moshe the good the holy group in Torah is called the cacao a group and the negative one is called an ADA the Talmud tells us ADA is always bad and the cahal is always good so what what separates an ADA from a cow what is the it seems like there's a stick and a snake stick and a snake it the same thing sticks become snake snakes become sticks how do you tell the difference that's what we're here to do how do you tell the difference so first you gotta know what the snake is what the bad version of the sick so who is the snake when it's a snake say in the Garden of Eden the snake says one thing and then we'll figure out where that takes you the snake is one of the voices there's two voices in the garden is the voice of God in the garden the call a chef nella Kim is how it's begun and then is the voice of the snake the voice of God is the dreams of look at my world is the voice of the universe beckoning you you hear the wind and the pitter-patter of rain the crashing of wings and look at it you go wow there's something going on it wants to figure this out we can master this let's let's get this then is the voice of the snake what does the snake say Dave says you can even more like a man you can never eat from all the trees translation you're never gonna have your dreams the two voices are the voice of dreams and the other voice is the cynical voice that just wants to slither one wants to stand tall and one wants to slither on the ground the voice that delivers on the ground is the voice aigoo you're fooling you never gonna dreams just just give up and show us have another drink the voice of God in the garden says stand tall wake up early let's go conquer the world those are the two voices but both voices surround themselves with a team you see if you want to be productive then you have to staff surround yourself with a staff you need to extend beyond your house yourself and more the more you can leverage the world the more you can have work with your family your community and hopefully eventually your entire world then your whole planet and all the nations you can we can do great stuff the other voice is the voice essence just wanted to cut the losses and curl up this tightness possible do a fetal position don't even be you let alone connect to others that's the voice of the snake saying we fooling you're not gonna have your dreams that snake also surrounds himself with people you never find a snake by myself in public they gotta be on Instagram but tons of followers they gotta be taking selfies and showing everyone four likes cuz there's two uses of the group one is the use of the group to help you pee and one is the use of the group to help you hide that's the scary side of in its day that's the ADA the group that wants to hide and it's an echo chamber its henchmen you know okay whenever I say you laugh you pat me on the back yes boss all your in a smartest guy boss or oh you could drink like no one else no you get your little posse and your crew and they all tell you you're the man oh you're the greatest and we can sit there measuring our successes by the pathetic achievements and who can hold the most alcohol and who can hang out in college with the most girls terrible right but they support each other you go to certain for eternity I live on colony and a lot of time teaching on college campuses and you really get a look at that the group the idea of a that's code of people can surround themselves with a group of people that validates very poor choices and that's our culture now later the selfie culture like me Fame and popularity it's a validation an alternative validation so there's two types of groups there's the productive group which is called the staff and then there's the group which looks like a staff but it really doesn't have any backbone it's about it's not about doing it's about dating my nan doing my my part my party friends my friend my sit and that group their skill is sneering and snickering and rolling their eyes and old productivity you know we've met both groups so now I want to show you how that's the story of Korah correct a story of one group against another but it's very difficult to see and people everyone gathers around corrupt they don't see through him they fall for cara cara comes and he says magical words that people have been saying for thousands of years it is the words the Quran says moshus pointing Kohanim and love him he's he's appointing all the roles of the Jewish people and chorus says sounds great he says caller ather coolkid Ocean everyone's holy we all stood at Mount Sinai we all left Egypt why are you pointing all these people love with this last of all college my are you raising our people and making a caste system and a hierarchy and elitist you capitalist what you are let everyone be the same so correct kind of sounds like a utopian communist and don't get me wrong people love that everyone goes through that stage the people gather around Cora it says itself yeah look what he said they turned to brush he says equality everyone was equal man in the world that didn't go through and staged like that we all went through a stage hopefully we go through that stage there's a health you think the go through when you're young when you're young is its imagine the world where everyone's equal there's no jealousy and no competition hopefully you grow out of it you know you go to yeshiva they teach you very class that we're accomplishment is great you know college takes a little bit longer but eventually by the time you're working everyone learns that almost thing what's wrong with it I'm going to show you you that's the correct story Sakura everyone falls to corral they think the Karaka sings it's noble things Cola eat them cooled ocean everyone's holy Wow equality and well they're gonna be the same there will be competition there won't be jealousy wonderful I think the most is not buying it Moshe is the loving motion who loves everybody goes to war against Cara says God make the ground open up one of the ten things the mouth of mouth of the earth it opens up and swallows Cara what's going on where's the mouth of the earth I have to swallow Caracas in Caracas what's wrong with him he's a dreamer actually when he dies and the ground opens up the people still angry at moshe didn't even work why didn't move just prove his case the ground opened up God made a miracle no because even today we speak about communism we do it everyone gets so soft and sentimental we don't say evil we say evil for Nazis communism is naive it's not practical doesn't really work but we all have this like little mushy spot there because it sounds it sounds so appealing on so many levels so it's very important that people understand what's wrong because in this terrorist so it's exactly happening today it's the same relevance totally their eternal lessons Pokora comes and says we're all equal and everyone turns to mush and motion needs emotion he dies and it's not good enough Moshe needs to pick and take all the steps ok here's what we're gonna do everyone take their stick put it in the ground and then we'll see who's right and so now this proves who's right what's going on so here's the story of color equality is a wonderful word sort of but it's not so so holy all the time look at the word equality there's two ways to create equality you can create equality by raising people up giving people things and taking wiping the tears off their eyes if people are here and people are here there's two ways to Queen equality one way is to raise up the disadvantaged and the other way is to knock down the people on top they both create equality one guy is is is loving he's trying to help everybody the other guy just wants to wipe the smile off the face the guy who wants Creek bowls a quality guy who says he crawling he means to take everybody up that guy's holy he's loving that's Abraham you know the first Jew that's what he was driven by the guy who want but there's another guy says equality to what's his goal no one should have anything no we're not gonna have our dreams you come down both this is the dream the group of the dreamers who's trying to raise everybody up let's make a life for the world let's create and be become then there's the other group the other group does the urge just to help everybody hide from dreams and the enemy of the second group of karach is is all the people who who who are walking around happy who do you think you are initially initially look what the word is how did emotion know that coracle is a faker I didn't motion know that Korra wasn't driven by by the beauty of the world by picking people up he said the right thing he said everyone's holy he said equality but you can tell from the word equality we're the guys going to the next sentence if Korra who was a loving person and he wanted hope right hole equality raised up unknown equality as everyone should have zero if Koresh was holy Carly what would his next sentence be you're pointing Kohanim mendelevium Cohen's and ladies everyone's holy what should he have said give everyone a job everyone should have a position everyone should have a title but what does Korra say everyone's holy only motion here is this Walmart is Nassau Coliseum why have you raised yourself over the Assembly of God what rhymes chorus is not the ability to pick them up he says you come down he's cure for disparities no one should add anything that's the definition of evil can you imagine the holiest people in the world let's give everyone life and the most evil people no one should have anything they use the same word equality and throughout history history people don't know this they hear the word equality they turned to mush just like they did in the desert and they didn't know that it was the chorus group and not motion and not the productive staff because only motion it was perceptive enough and how does moshe teach to had and we teach the world as the world needs to know this because you go around the world yes there are loving people there are people who love animals and they were worried about animal rights and people love the environment and people who love you but then there are people who don't care but animals and they don't care they just don't want you to have a nice car they don't want they just want no is the ghost when people are against is the what against against religion its own legend there's no truth there's no they don't like marriage and families they don't like the Boy Scouts they don't like the Boy Scouts they don't they don't like people don't like the Jews they like the Palestinians no they don't like the Palestinians they hate Jews they they don't they're against religion they're not they don't want you to walk around thinking your moral they against truth because they don't want you to think you're right it's a war against anyone who's happy so they're walking people in the world who are driven by loving animals and loving people and and then there are people who just don't want anyone happy so they're just gonna be against and they talk the same language but you have to be able to know who's who's just there to to rate them to break you and who's because one group is the holiest people when one group is the worst people you got a little difference especially if you want to affect the world or or be part of the cure so how do you know the difference is two groups here we're facing two groups one group how do you know who's the productive group I know who was the corporation with a good structure and how do you know who's the cackling seared sneering mob that is that is gonna shatter the window zone you know how do you know who's driven by compassion for the fervor you know someone who compassion for injustice and how do you know who's just using it as an excuse to hit the man everyone anyone who's working hard and productive because those are our enemies satisfying happy people so how do you know the difference I don't look at their staff three things there's what attracts you here's how you judge the movement if the movement is productive because the movement is the extension of self how do you judge if the movement is productive what draws you to it what do you do in the movement whatever active what's the initial draw what is the interim thing and what the final product is what whatever what are we creating what drew us to it meaning what what came before what won't we do it where are we going and then what's the process in between and three differences if you know the three secrets of the staff errand staff does three things and the other staffs don't and here's how you know first the Aaron's death breaks out with flowers what attracted you to this nature provides what attracts people to staffs the productivity extended growth what what is it that nature produces flowers flower buds what is the nature of attraction to bring the bees to pollinate let so to create the beauty of the world flowers are beautiful and colorful if what's attracting to you would you - this is the beauty of color vibrancy and that's holy but sometimes will attract people to something is it's dark and silent and it's none it's a simple distinction Aaron staff sprouts flowers and the staff of Cora it sprouts hating it doesn't about it but it's one what's what what draws people to the hiding places - sneering and cackling is this is - getting rid of bright colors when children are healthy and they're young before they go before they heard the voice of the snake that you can't do it they love bright colors and as we get older we like darker you know the brightness loses its fingers we lose our belief and we feel safer when things aren't as attractive but flowers on the sign of hope and beauty and that's the sign of the productive group and then comes the second lesson all right that's darkness versus it's like colorlessness I remember I went they spent a long time one year in 1991 the Soviet Union when everything was falling apart I opened the achiever in Vilna Lithuania in 1991 as a kid it was a new Shiva but all my memories of the Eastern Bloc konjac traveled around there it's a bit strange all my memories are in black and white there's no colour it's just a weird thing I talk to a shrink but there's no color in my memories it's fascinating it's colorless countries are calling us because it's about equality and but not about productive it's getting rid of this dream the world without dreams and okay whatever you've canceled it to what touch too much time at one point the next thing is is the goal the goal is that Aaron's staff by gigamon skatin it was weaned we right in the beginning by ego is a child no longer nurses it's called weaned SCADA MS almonds they're zealous because that's the goal of productivity the goal of productivity is to be weaned and and independent not dependent to be free and that comes from put a from zeal Skaven almonds are the fact that means diligent because they're productive they're very bad but that the success of productivity comes from the desire to be independent the staff of Cora is about being dependent I want to be taking care if I want a free ride its two opposites were attracted by different things color versus the beauty of the appeal of the darkness to go to the club loud noisy drown them out and and I want to be carried and thinking I don't want to be independent I want to be carried you take care of me and the third thing is in the middle but my god sakes it's it's braucht put it projects projections the goal of the staff of the staff of errand reaches out the life the life of the real staff people of growing people as expansions going curiosity an adventurer seeing where you can go and the goal of the people who heard the snake is to contract and create walls and the circle is the fear of the outside and it's chilling its rolling your eyes at all quest and expansion they sound so similar equality versus equality but it's different in every side of the coin are you which is it are you attracted to it because if it's vibrant beauti you attracted to it because it's colorlessness and safe it's dark you know people ike they always say people go to clubs today not because they want to be happy see I figure they get darker and louder it's a place to hide from your real dreams little children love flowers but those like dark clubs and then children while expanding and going adults just want to be in a hammock again at all dot some people are so hopefully we are pretty productive but we know the havoc people and though our goal is to project to reach out beyond yourself and always be in movement the current stuff and finally the weaned almonds were a weird phrase for independence one group wants to be independent and one group wants to be dependent this is the this is a lessons of the stick so in summation of this part if you want to see miracles right you can live a very lean life and just live your life and it's safe there's no risk well you can take a risk and expand and get a staff and then you you live as a staff of people who want to see flowers and want to project and want to be weaned then you'll see miracles you'll see miracles so let me tell you one last step one last step is all the other people who surrounded them wrap themselves around the cackling sneering people make fun of all the productive people that you will do whatever you knocking everything about us the snakes who have no background I wanna slither if you do your job right and you expend excited by flowers and projecting your stick will swallow their snakes it'll assimilate their snakes they'll join us we have a responsibility the only way yes half the world money more than half has given up you know parts of the world almost everyone has given up in certain cultures you know in colleges everyone's chillers in its rear defying dreamers children that's where the majority people are dreamers until 8 years old but it's our responsibility if we lived with more joy and we were vibrant and truly productive and suiting the joy of then this we'd give them hope the snakes they would find a way and we would absorb the staff would absorb them and we become stronger because they have great abilities they should be part of the team and put the world the world needs all of its people to see the magic The Wanderers will come we're all working so the staff of Aaron has to swallow all those snakes has to assemble his rod has to assimilate them and the staff grows and the miracles that come out of the staff grow but we have to give them the whole by living our life better we're responsible there when they are now they're not capable of getting themselves out of it all right let's go a little bit about premise about sorry now bill them the bill um is a prophet God allows you to be a prophet and an evil prophet it's the most ironic thing I wish we could talk about it all day but prophecy comes from purity when someone is totally holy so they they see with things with ultimate clarity your eye is like wide open you see things as it is as you get involved with compromises and shameful things you start to squint at the world you lose your rock you lose your eyesight you don't see it like it used to you let me get blind from these things it means that you shame causes you to squint and distort things only children pure children live I believe poor poor dulls those that are still pure I see this varmint talks about you know garden Iran is being holy and pure not doing anything shameful you know that that you know that that's the game changer then you dance in the garden the secret of life is purity purity allows you to dream goes children up here in a dream we can be as vibrant as children if we're dreaming but somehow this sum is a guy he was a prophet from darkness a guy who lives in the evil and that's the image that aura wants you to have he's going to curse the Jews riding his donkey you see the hiding place donkey what's the what the word Hebrew word for donkey tomorrow Kamal really means materialism physicality it is all the lowest parts of the world and instead of purity and being holy and that's how you caught prophet bilham wants to ride his donkey he's involved in every degrading every human depravity the Torah says donkey stalks him and says you I'm the donkey that you've been riding on all these years and it refers to it not as a car but as an Auslan and all sense of female done because the donkey was saying that we have a history and villain was a low person has tableau personal income profit how does he see things so this is so deep and then you know there were two beings who know when the Sun is gonna rise you know I always say children wake up early because they they're excited but they don't come they don't like a first who wakes up first roosters the rooster wakes up at the crack of dawn the rooster knows when the sun's gonna rise because if you need to do things so you need a light and we wait for the light the light comes we want to embrace the light but there's another being that knows when the Sun is gonna rise even before the rooster who's that who knows when the sun's gonna rise before the rooster the bat a bat can live in sunlight the bat is afraid of the light it can't be annoyed so the bat has to know when the lights come because he has to be in his safe dark place in advance there's two ways to understand the beauty of the two people who know the beauty of the world so deep the dreamers know the beauty of the world but the people who gave up and are broken and cannot face the light they want to hide they know that they so deep because they need to make fun of existence people who give up need to you know and you see no this is this is a guy a Shiva call the marquee after Rabbi he gives the moral talks that growth so the good guys in you see but they can tell when the Mashiach is gonna get up to give an ethical talk they call it they can tell Exede look in his eyes they know 20 minutes before he talks always give me a talk today you know who knows before them the guy is up to no good can't bear to hear an ethical talk they can tell they look in the eye in a mosh gear 10 minutes before the guys who wanna hear because the people who are afraid of reality they know reality better than the people who love reality the prophecy of Balaam is is not a prophecy of saying clearly bill knows that you can plot how the world looks feel by what you're attracted to we know that's good or you can plot what the world looks like but what you're scared of Phillip know is reality because he knows when he gets scared he knows what's beautiful but what bothers him the woman can go curse the Jews because he knows exactly their flaws and their weaknesses by where he feels when he went when he finds their weaknesses he feels calm I'll tell you a terrible story it's a simple story but it's I consider because it's really I rock it's really sad somebody once asked me to speak to a guy who was older guy and stopped he was not married he stopped dating and family said talk some sense of them I said that's not my field but I'll talk to him why nice a Jewish guy you know will do whatever it takes to make Jews happy so I go to meet with the guy smart guy sweetheart but he gives giving me all the cliches this is what people don't know all those lines while justifying his life I don't believe meant it he's saying you know all of his married friends are miserable the girls just want rich guys without money so I said to the guy said listen if I thought you were happy I would if I thought it was working for you I would I'd let you live alone I wouldn't say a word but he's can't you can't really can't really be working for you like you don't believe all the stuff so and we're gonna talk because you can't be you know so he says no rabbi I made one change in my life and now it works for me I said what's the change it sounds good look I'm here he found a way to live with giving up your dreams we should share it a lot of people could use that drug so you said I used to work and work across the street across the park from my where I live I used to walk the mic to work it with me you know taking ten minutes to get to work I just I could cut through the park and now I I walk around the park beat blocks this way that blocks that way fifteen blocks that way takes me 40 minutes and I get to my office so I said how does that work was twenty thirty minutes of extra walking that stuff so I kick ass I'll explain to you and I call this the saddest thing I ever heard this is the terrible Potter story because I can t he was being very vulnerable and sharing with me something you know in the guy way not really saying it for real but he was being real he said I used to walk through the park and it was great out cut through my office and I could believe all my things about being married and like my life was great except I got to the end of the park every day there was a woman pushing her son on a swing and all my lies would disappear and I'd feel the sickness in my stomach in my wife passed me by and what am i doing I felt that terrible pain so now I walk around the park and I avoid her I never see the woman now I'm fine like the park but how do you go shopping before shoppers you see everybody with the kids by nosh and all the food for Sharma's he goes now I never shot before shot only oh no one's there I said but how do you go to a prince or where'd you go to parties I don't I stop going the cymbals a long time ago so sad it's a terrible story but this is what people do right you have dreams you don't believe they're gonna come true so you constantly whittle away all those things and nothing is there to remind you you know you this is the story of Dylan Dylan was a prophet he's the prophet who sees things from the darkness he runs away he knows he knows what's beautiful by what he needs to hide from the guy who needs to hide from beauty he knows he can tell you every play he knows this guy knows where there are happy married people with giggly kids better than I do he can tell you every giggly smiley kid in the city we're the Ibis you knows we have to avoid that block he knows every people who are hiding they know every smiley every beautiful thing you know they'd be like prophets better than prophets like bats understand like Bill it was very powerful he can go look at the Jewish people and you can tell you can tell them here's how you get them from this bar I see this view I feel fine that there must be corrupt this is their weakness I can find some words weakness by what doesn't hurt me who doesn't scare me this is my path to my office nothing scary it means I found the most meaningless path in the world where there's nothing inspiring the problem is that life gets tighter and tighter Gilliam is writing the curse the Jews riding his physical life or living in all the dark places riding physicality living in all the dark places avoiding all the places of light and beauty and it says the path is getting smaller and smaller and smaller and it's tight and it's going to the donkey's keep them riding and his legs getting crushed against the wall what does that mean that means that when you're hiding from the world the path keeps on tightening because you get sensitive and you see everything beautiful now you can't go to restaurants they can't go to parties and I can't go shopping Thursday night you can't walk to your office and then you get to the office you can't sit in that guy me like I go since desk has pictures of his kids and you can't go in the coffee room because this person is scratching about how she broke a couple eight times last night for a crying baby the path of hiding gets smaller and tighter and tighter and your legs legs legs what the body is your trees the legs work runs away you're running it gets crushed against the wall your walls that are trying to block out all the things you're Titan little wall little room well that there's more to it I can't go every detail is beautiful it's beautiful it's terrible but it's beautiful in its depth the story of Balaam trying to find the dark place in the Jews if they could attack riding his donkey is passed through life of depravity that allows him to see to see to know the truth through the cynicism riding his donkey and then it says he gets to the point where where he can't go anymore and he's hitting the donkey for blocking his path hitting the donkey he says what are you doing to me the donkey talks this is the irony of Balaam the idea of Balaam is a tourist giving you the metaphor of what he's doing the prophecy of the donkey there's this prophecy of the donkey the lowest thing in the world the donkey you know it's a Jeunesse right it's a donkey and talks what does that mean actually doing the lung you you you talking the deepest truth from the darkest place you're a donkey talking you caricature of what it is is - great - people talk truth the holiest of the holy and the lowest of the low you are the donkey talking look yourself you're so angry at your donkey this is you the donkey your whole life is this but then it says it gets to the point where the donkey can't go anymore and there's nowhere to turn everyone hits that spot where there's no hiding place at that point that point bilham sees the Prophet himself he sees them beside him the angel themselves he sees an angel standing in front of the donkey with a sword and he understands why the donkey was was was what what the problem was at that moment doing becomes a real prophet because he reached the end it's a long smooth I don't want to open the can of worms now but bilham hits the bottom this is this is the one he's hitting his donkey he's hitting his donkey and then when he gets to the point this to pass the truth there's two paths to light you can walk into the light or he can work so far into the dark and hide so much that you keep on hiding and become so so he's so running away that every single thing is a threat to you you know there are people who are hider who are hiding and they they can't even go to the parties they used to go to because those parties are too vanilla so that's that what when they started that party was their escape and now the place that they were escaping to is now too real because they don't go far enough and Philip bilham is the story of riding the donkey talking with the knowledge is very there's a lot of wisdom in a donkey the smartest people that I know are in yeshiva rabbis and cynics people who have done crazy stuff their insights they built the bat and the rooster know more about the world than anyone else tor is telling us we have prophets and their prophets the bat is a wise thing but that has no life and but Bill but the journey back to recover from hiding is a very long trip especially the travel that far this is the gift of Hashem is is that no there's a shortcut is that worden is nowhere left to go then look what happens you can't hide it anymore but you have all the wisdom of your hiding bilham knows everything but now we can hide you turn the lights on that was facing the light with all of his wisdom he can talk to God he sees the a this little person sees things all of God it's a very powerful lesson for all of us all of our hidings can leave you can get the guard both directions I get such a can of worms but you can get the guard like climbing the ladder or going solo down to the bottom rung and you become an expert of the world you know the hiding places in the darkness but then you see the angel of God there's nowhere left to go and you can't hide anymore all right I want to accomplish much more okay do a series on all the 10 things properly and we sort of touched the death of Billa of Korah the whole the opening of the earth the staff the sticks and the mouth of the donkey at least a metaphor of what it is all right we should all um we should we should all leverage everything around us and see miracles in our lives be bigger than ourselves and definitely don't don't don't don't start breaking windows people's lives don't shatter the glass that's not that's that's not productive that doesn't mean that we don't have to take up people who are disadvantaged we have to be Avraham and not Cara Lee these people up door knock anyone down it's unbelievable how current Torres the problem is they sell us and the media and the world they sell us one packages both know that both its two opposing views for mankind are you gonna are you gonna pick up pick up the people knock them down there's never been anyone who's done though of course there are two opposite personalities loving people pickup and people have given up and live in darkness need to need to go curse the Jews need to go hurt them because their existence is it's causing me pain our existence causes people pain I said our goal is to assimilate the snake into our staff is not to allow them to wipe the smile of our fear our face is not to let them break us but we have to inspire them project inspire well that's why that's why I did all this our job is to give all the people who gave up hope that they too can become productive rather than wet the people who gave up make us ashamed of our excitement that are all better we should join them let's assimilate this week in to our staffs stop listening to the donkey
