so I want to take a little bit of the
mysticism the magic away and replace it
with a little bit
Clarity the talk is
abouta in order to get to have to spend
a few minutes talking abouta you can't
know what the world to come is I think
until you properly understand a short
version of this world and a short
version of the understanding of
the of God so that we can understand so
we have three things that need to be
explained God this world and next World
the goal is the next World if we do a
proper introduction of God in this world
and the next World thing will will
become clear with minimal amount of talk
I won't spend 30 minutes talking about
Alaba Alaba at the end of the talk it'll
just click into place I think
and and uh I've lay the proper
groundwork let me just start with a
quick overview of the
way I think this the shortest way to say
this and normally I do this in four Shum
and is the fourth sh and do the first
three shum very quick in a
synopsis most important phrase
in the way we translate is most people
look at sh is as as the lesson of Isel
is
monotheism that there is one God here o
Israel the Lord Our God the Lord is one
I think that that's a big mistake there
two different sentences they're very
similar but they mean very different
things if I say that there is one
God there is there is one God what does
that mean that there's one God not two
there's not multiple gods but doesn't
say that there is one
God says that God is one now most people
just go on autopilot they assume it's
the same thing God is one there is one
God it's the same words in different
order but it's not they have radically
different meanings when you say that
there is one God you mean there's one
God not more than one not many what does
it mean when you say that God is one
what translate that what does it mean
how do you is one not there is one of
him he is
one in our thought this is the
foundation of Y something that we
call the unity of God the unity of God
doesn't mean that there is one God it
means much larger that God is one what
does itan mean to is
one unique is part of it but unique is
not one it's it's many and this one's
different he's Oneness itself he is one
what is one so here's my short Marshall
this is not meant to be whole class this
is a teaser okay one my my mus is I Ed
the puzzle as a metaphor a puzzle has
three stages the three stages of a
puzzle are there's the cover of the
puzzle box it's a beautiful picture I
don't know a duck on a p pond with
Ripples and mountains that's stage one
then you take that beautiful picture you
put it through a machine and you cut it
up into 500 pieces that's called stage
two fragmented and then we come in stage
three we buy the puzzle we put all the
pieces back together again we make it
the way it's supposed to be that's stage
three this simple idea of a puzzle is I
think the best way really the simplest
way to understand unbelievably deep
understanding of Hashem and the nature
of the universe
when we say that hasem is mean he's
Oneness Hashem to the world is the cover
of the puzzle box Hashem
is means he's not that there's one God
but he's one he's where everything
fits what's the world then we call the
world Hester P of the hiddenness of
Hashem it's perod hiddenness you see if
Hashem is Oneness if you're intelligent
so what is the hiddenness of
intelligence is to act foolish if you're
strong WR what's the hiddenness of
strength is weakness if you're Oneness
what is the hiddenness of Oneness multi
multiplicity diversity disunity so
Hashem is he's the cover of the Box the
world is the hiddenness of Hashem what
is the hiddenness of Oneness disunity
fragmentation this world is Hashem with
the Unity hidden we call it perod muur
everything's divided so you have hasem
is the the cover of the box and we're
the pieces of the puzzle so then what is
our job we say before every
mitv to make everything one again to put
it all back together again our job in
life is to assemble the pieces when we
put things back together again what are
we
experiencing Hashem when you put the
pieces in the puzzle again you sing the
our job
is to make Oneness in the in the Bri
what I wanted to show you here in stage
one is how easily easy it is to taste
this to see it literally if Hashem is
the cover of the box and this world is
the pieces so we're all fragments every
single thing you see is a piece of the
puzzle when we put it back together
again we're experiencing Hashem now it
doesn't mean that we see the whole
Hashem but when you have a man and a
woman who are thing they go on and they
become one they get married and they
they become so they a little more of hm
was it's an it's closer to Hashem it's
taking two pieces of the puzzle two
little yellow pieces now he made a duck
you there's still lot to do but you're
closer you're seeing more of Hashem
there's such a thing is getting a better
a wider and wider picture of the more
and more there are people who are good
at certain types ofas not other types
ofas this I'll show you that now the way
you can test this this is very powerful
is that Hashem is everything
and the world is divided it's not Hashem
we don't see Hashem when we put the
pieces together explain hasem I want to
show you that every single experience of
sim is the experience of
Oneness Sim pleasure is the experience
of putting pieces back together again
I'm going to show you we're going do it
fast this is this is really its own
class
but I always try and bite off more than
I could show I hope we get everything in
over here
it's the there are seven ways that human
beings experience the universe it's my
number well what are the seven ways we
know five we see things we taste them we
smell them we touch them
we hear them five senses are those the
only ways that we receive information
how else the human beings experience the
world besides the five
senses we
think not a sense we also feel so we
have thoughts emotions and actions the
actions are five smell taste touch so I
make it neat I call it seven ways that
we experience the world every one of
these stimuli these seven ways
experiences positive and negative
experiences I have pleasurable thoughts
and painful thoughts pleasurable tastes
and painful tastes pleasurable feelings
and painful let's go through them each
quickly and let's see if we could find
the pattern of what makes something
pleasurable so what is eye pleasure what
do my eyes enjoy my eyes like when
things match my eyes like when things
blend my eyes like when things are we
like
patterns anyone ever studi the
philosophy of art you know what the Phil
you know what is considered universal
Beauty what's the philosophy of beauty
what is even a child attracted to what
does a child consider beautiful he has
no training what what is instinctually
considered beautiful anyone study this
symmetry per beautiful symmetry is with
two eyes are lined up and they're the
same size as a nostrils everything's
lined up it's balanced a window here and
a window here a door in the middle and a
column and nothing symm what is the
common denominator if I were to ask you
I give you a list of words blending
matching pattern symmetry what do they
all have in
common they're all experiences of
Oneness blending is that things fit
matching as they match patterns are
where it's not disconnected points it
flows symmetry all eye pleasure is the
experience of Oneness if you see
something and makes you happy it's
because it's one what do we not like
when the pattern's broken when things
Clash when they don't match when things
don't fit let's go through the ears what
are your ears like our ears like
Harmony our ears like
Rhythm right what is rhythm what is
harmony they're they're audible
experiences of Oneness we don't like
when the sounds are off we don't like
when the rhythm is broken rhythm is
something that ties together all the
pieces the same thing with taste and the
same things with smells a chef is trying
to accomplish in in the kitchen with his
different ingredients the same thing the
painter is trying to do with his colors
he's taking the I'll skip really and
just show you that every single person
in the
world is doing the exact same thing with
their lives it's an unbelievable thing
the painter is sitting in front of a
Candice with his paint in his pallet and
his gold will take the colors in his
palet and create a unified Masterpiece a
harmonized entity the musician is doing
the exact same thing with his life he
sits with it during his days and the
only that that varies is instead of
having colors on his palet his pet are
notes and his goal is to combine these
notes into one harmonized Masterpiece
and the chef does the same thing the
difference is the chef is using
ingredients not notes or colors and the
perfume maker is doing the same thing
with scents there are colleges I'm sure
in France where they learned that lilac
goes with lavender but doesn't work with
lies and and things work there's things
that synthesize and things that
harmonize and things that Clash
everyone's trying to do the same these
are the senses but then the other parts
are even more obvious what are what are
pleasurable emotions friendship love
Brotherhood compassion empathy
acceptance caring shearing what are
negative emotions division fighting
loneliness separation division fighting
rejection every single pleasure in the
world is the experience of Oneness and
every pain is the experience of disunity
it's a mind-blowing
thing the brain what is brain
pleasure logic order truth justice
fairness what is brain pain when things
don't fit when things are in Balan when
it's injust when there are gaps in
reasoning when things are in
fear look at what we've discovered here
that every single time in your life that
you ever smiled or felt warm or good
it's because you just experienced
Oneness and every single time you felt
pain physical emotional intellectual any
pain you felt it's because you just
experienced a taste of division and
isolation and
separation basically the existence of
Pleasure and Pain is a reflection of to
the experience of
Hashem the experience of pleasure is
based on the idea that there's an
E when you say pleasure what you're
really meaning is I am experiencing EOD
all pleasure is EOD and all pain is
period it's a crazy I talk I use this as
a talking when I talk to atheists I tell
people you're not an atheist you think
you're an atheist you're a religious
fanatic from the moment you're born to
the moment you die you've never done
anything but Chase pleasure and what did
we just demonstrate that what is
pleasure Oneness and what is Oneness the
Jewish Hashem is oness so you spend your
entire life every moment chasing
pleasure chasing wonders and you say
you're an a IST you're a fanatic you
you've never taken a break for a second
from God if you didn't believe in God
what what would a Jewish version of an
atheist be an atheist meaning if you
don't believe in God so what are you not
believing in and if you don't believe in
Oneness and you no pleasure how do you
have pleasure
pleasure the premise of pleasure is that
there's Oneness there's no Oneness
there's no pleasure someone who doesn't
believe in Oneness you cannot believe in
Oneness I can believe the world's random
but never then go to a restaurant cuz
I'm not going to spend money assuming
that someone com nothing combines the
idea that he that someone knows how to
put together means it goes together I'm
spending money on it it means that I
believe he going to do it yeah so how do
you understand understand the okay so
good so so good good good are atheist so
listen so if I that's why I do it four
classes people then come ask I just did
a pretty good job of showing this but
there are things that sound like
exceptions so he gave one example I'll
answer your example but but
I have five answers his question is
modern art here you have a pleasure
that's not Unity it's not symmetry it's
not balance right it's not a pleasure
okay so I have five answers all right
good that's answer number one so I have
five I have five answers to the modern
art question you heard the question like
there are a lot of questions I I
normally do a whole segment of the class
I ask people what are the exceptions in
your mind to what because if I just if I
could prove what I just told you that
there's no eth is you're everyone's a
religious fanatic not only that let me
just before I answer you let me just
wrap up this part of the book and then
I'll answer you and then go fter but the
way I wrap it up is I like to like this
people think that there's a a disconnect
between science and
religion that's not based on
understanding Hashem in this way what is
the premise of science what is what are
scientists dedicating their life to what
are they searching for explanation the
understanding the ultimate understanding
how everything fits they're looking for
the unified field Theory the global
understandings the scientist is looking
for what one he's looking for the unity
he's looking for God everyone's the same
the musician is looking for Oneness in
notes the painter in colors the chef in
tastes the sh people looking for
relationships doing them personalities
how to connect looking for friendships
and and love and marriage and and
mathematicians and scientists and and E
economists they're doing it using the
facts and the phenomenon of the universe
want to make everything fit the
scientist is taking all the data and
trying to look for the unified these are
the rabbis they're the priests a
scientist is the dedicate his life to
searching for hem the the prerequisite
to science is that there's an ech and
I'm going to find him they just don't
know they just call it something
different an atheist believes in
Randomness the belief that there's an
that's the word God is not a Hebrew word
the t word for God is what
your mitah is to believe in the if you
believe
in there's an and anyone who experiences
pleasure or pain believes in we all
worship I'll give one other example
because people ask me then like so
what's why do people fight with other
people why do people take revenge
there's a joy in taking Revenge where's
the right so where's the unity so the
anwers are simple answer in that the
answer is is that Unity we just showed
you there are a lot of different
versions of unity there's not one thing
called
unity in America today I say the word
Unity people think group hug you know
group that's Unity that's one type of
unity CH
is a science to it right too much barley
or too many beans you have to have the
right amounts everything Pizza is is a
symphony it's all there's different
types of unity there's taste unity and
there's emotional Unity there are many
different versions
of so what is the what is the why is
there pleasure in taking revenge on
somebody somebody cuts me off in traffic
and I get out and I crowbar his window
okay it's a New York
thing you ever did it nope you've
thought about
it you've mellowed you used to think
about it okay whatever it is I thought
about it okay and I smile when I think
about it
why
why I'm fragmenting the glass there's no
Unity right so what's the answer the
answer is
that revenge is the experience of
Justice a minute ago he did something he
got away with it now I broke his window
now we're
even Justice is the intellectual
experience is unity of the brain what
love is to your heart Justice is to your
brain the pleasure you get in punish it
might be wrong to take revenge because
that's hashem's job if you trust in
Hashem who's more creative you or God so
you want to get even let hem do it right
so it's not my job it's hashem's job to
make things even but the pleasure of
justice is Unity it's not this emotional
feel-good Unity but it's also Unity so
the acceptions the things that don't fit
every pleasure is even things that sound
mean you're doing you took Revenge
because it felt good and it felt good
cuz he created Justice a minute ago the
world was out of a whack and now
everything's back everything fits
everything's back to way it should be
it's nice and neat and therefore it felt
good because you experienc oners now
modern art how does Modern Art fit in
what's Modern Art why is modern art
pleasurable so I have five answers
they're all very very different they're
meant for different people the
right-wing uh Rush limbo fans here will
like answer number one answer number one
is the answer his question is is that if
I'm saying all pleasure is Oneness so
then how could Modern Art cause pleasure
it's not about symmetry it's random
lines so answer number one is modern art
is not pleasurable it's a lie and
everyone's too insecure to admit that
they don't get it so everyone looks at
it and they go oh it's so beautiful yeah
and really you go like I have no idea
like so that's answer number one answer
number one is the entire thing is a sham
and if you were more insecure it's the
emperor's new clothes and no one has the
gut to be the one to say I don't get it
cuz then they look at you with that like
condescending look like you shallow
simpleton you know and nobody wants that
look you know I live in Academia so I'm
used to that look and I I I I look I
know I learn how to look right back and
say yeah so explain it to me genius yeah
and and then they start to look like a
little mixu and I don't back down until
they go well I'm sure someone
understands
it you bring them here I'll wait okay
anyways okay
so that's what's answer two answer
number two is that there is an
experience of pleasure in modern art but
when you hear people talk about it it is
experience of unity it's not the the
visual experience of unity in the
artwork what is it it's the emotional
connection to the
artist I feel so understood he gets me
you know kind of thing I feel like we're
we're on the same page so that could you
could have a Unity connection to the
artist there is a Oneness where we
understand each other it's the lines
aren't one it's not a visual it's an
emotional answer number three is a very
deep answer now there all these answers
are true for different pieces of heart
answer number three is I like it sounds
deep I don't know if it's true but it
sounds deep and that's that that makes
it worth something um answer number
three is
that there are things in the world that
are asymmetrical there is suffering and
loneliness and pain there are things in
the world that are broken so what is a
painting of
asymmetry the perfect captured painting
of the Brokenness of the world is going
to be asymmetrical the symmetrical
representation of asymmetry is going to
be
asymmetrical if you're going to
perfectly capture Brokenness that's
going to be a picture that's out of
whack so a lot of Modern Art is the
attempt to capture the randomness the
the Brokenness the the the the the
disruption in the world and that these
pictures are symmetrical representations
of asymmetry okay
okay okay like you're starting to get on
okay very okay the last I'll give you
one more answer this is you see
this want all the answers this is so
much more to the class this is this is
just got go we have we have 6,000 years
to cover we only did the first six
days it's not a not moving that a good
clip okay you got got the UN think is
it's really cool
afterwards you can think of all your
exceptions what's the pleasure of
kicking over a sand castle what's the qu
what's the thrill of jumping out of an a
plane there are many Pleasures where
it's hard to see the
unity the answers are all more beautiful
than the questions the the truth of the
world is is that all pleasures Unity is
my mus is the puzzle the have a much
better puzzle much better mush it's a
little B more involved but I'll tell you
the musle in passing but it's a it's not
my musle mush the same as the puzzle
Hashem is white light white light
is light it's white you don't see colors
it's considered oness you take the white
light and you put it through a prism and
it divides into all the colors of
rainbow so that would be the mus hasem
is he's the white light The Act of
Creation is hiding the Oneness
fragmenting light so the Bria would be
the r this is the rainbow all these
different colors what's our job our job
is to combine all the colors into a
masterpiece to create a symphony Harmony
so you have three stages you have Hashem
is Unity then you have perod and then
you have Harmony our job is to harmonize
the world pleasure is the experience of
assembling the pieces combining the
colors this is the again that that would
be sheer number two I would give I was
doing an order to first talk is Unity
the second talk is the distinction
between unity and Harmony I just said
enough to see there's a difference in
the words they're very different they're
both Oneness Unity is white and Harmony
is a symphony it's a lot of colors
they're opposite approaches to everyone
understands how white is and everyone
also understands how all the colors in a
masterpiece are also that are so
different one is 400 colors and one is
one color but they're both one is unity
and one's Harmony Ina we call this
hasim hasem is the white and elim is the
plural name is the of theim this Bri is
the experience of elim of a world where
Hashem reveals himself there is in this
world but an e of and that's the that we
experience we experience hasem
that they're
both but that's my world so now here's
the second part of the
talk what makes Unity pleasurable why
should Unity be
pleasurable it's an a magical thing that
Oneness is
pleasurable so let me show you why
Oneness is pleasurable what is happening
when you combine
things can you figure out what I don't
just I don't know how to ask this
question in a way that's going to lead
you into this answer I'm going to try it
anyway but sometimes it's sometimes the
secret is find the right
question the fact that I combine things
makes me feel good why is
that there's no
Discord so that would get rid of
pain what would make it pleasurable what
am I creating I'm combining things so
really it's something that's so much
more simple
the fact that Unity causes pleasure
means the following the simple thing
that what really causes pleasure you
know what really causes pleasure just
exper
being existence is
good the problem is that every single
thing is a piece of existence this is
blue blue is nice and green is
nice when I combine blue and green now I
have nice and nice when I add red I have
nice nice nice oranges taste good apples
taste good if I figured a away to have
an orange Apple now I have
double if the world is fragmented so
every single thing is a of of existence
it's a it's a the more Pro the more the
pleasure is the more I the more parts
that I could assemble if you have a
symphony the more instruments the better
the more things I bring in the more
variation the more voices in the choir
the more more
Harmony it's because the real experience
of pleasure is
existence Hashem is
totality and it's fragmented my goal is
to experience as much of Hashem as
possible so now let me switch over to
talk here's how I do it
now I'm going to talk about hasem in the
deepest way using the simplest terms I
want you to follow me in the fact that
I'm using childish terms shouldn't make
me lose anyone it's just you'll see
sometimes the clearest Things Are
the secret is trying to make things
simple that people can get it like that
but I'm going to say something I think
it's a big until you hear it then you go
out simple I'm going to use the most
childish words I can don't think too
deep if you think I'm saying something
deep you're not understanding me I'm
saying very very childish simple
things I don't know how to talk about
Hashem the safest way to talk about
Hashem is unlimited we say cuz he can't
limit hmem is everything so let's use a
very safe word everything means there's
nothing he's
not
he's so let's call Hashem
everything if Hashem is
everything what am I let's define me
let's go in order am I everything can we
prove that I'm not everything how can
you prove not
everything cuz there's room for other
people how is everything nobody else
could fit in the room right it's very
simple I'm not everything is that clear
to you is it proven that I'm not
everything
okay question number two am I
nothing can you prove that I'm not
nothing is it clear to you I'm not
nothing I'm talking you hearing me I'm
not nothing you could be dreaming but
I'm something I'm dream whatever it is
so I'm not everything I'm not nothing
here's the facts we have right now
Hashem is everything I am not everything
but I'm not nothing so if I'm not
everything and I'm not nothing what am I
something very deep you got me okay good
of so something okay good so Hashem is
everything and I am okay everything I
said now is totally clear there's no way
to argue I'm not everything I'm not
nothing I'm something Shem is not
something he's everything Next Step what
is the relationship of something to
everything part of part something is
part of everything with me so far right
everything includes all the somethings
all the something fit into the
everything right clear now here's where
it gets a little deeper still very
simple if I wanted to say that EV that
something me I say the S I want to
experience Hashem I want a relationship
to hasm all these kind of phrases I want
to connect to H so let's trans that
words something wants to experience
everything how much of everything is
available able to the something how much
of everything can something experience
can something experience everything can
exper can I get a taste of everything
how much of everything is available to
something something something right I'll
give you a mush you have a pie of pizza
okay we divide into eight slices so the
pie is the everything the slice is the
something how much of everything can
each slice experience
1/8 1/8
something so when I say that I something
want to experience
everything how what is the everything
that's available to me I want everyone
to have that one click in one moment
there a
click what is my experience of
everything what is the everything if I
say I want to experience Hashem totality
what is the part of Hashem that's to me
your part me so when I say I want to
experience Hashem what am I saying
experience do you hear
that my experience of Hashem my slice of
everything what of everything can I have
my slice so my experience of the is the
experience of what of my life any part
of my life that I miss is
a that was to me that I lost
my job is to be everything in my power
not to leave any of me on the table when
I sit and I sit by a table and I'm
spaced out and I don't want to pay
attention I sit on my iPad or I'm
sitting texting or I'm sitting playing a
game and I'm missing out every moment
I'm missing out on the of existence
hashem's huge has is everything I can't
experience everything I get a small
slice of everything 120 years of
everything with my skills and my li I
have a slice in a pine but I don't
automatically get it I have to
experience it the the purpose of of this
life is for me to
experience my life and not to leave any
of my life on the table any moment of my
life that I miss is a that if I want if
you need it to be mystical you'll call
it you
being who would erase hashem's name we
spend our lives erasing hashem's name
Hashem keeps on doing out to me every
day a new of him and I sitting there
erasing it as quickly as I can we have
thousands of tools to erase
things so Hashem is
totality is every one of us is a slice
of the pie and it's my job my goal my
job I can do I don't have to do it the
best thing I can have is to experience
as most as possible I get a little slice
it makes sense I want to experience
pleasure how much of the pleasure could
I have how much of Hashem can I have so
what does it mean it means means to use
your arms your legs and your mind and
your heart and it means your sisters and
your brothers and your parents and your
neighbors and your kusas and your
friends every guy you person you saw you
never talk to again there a like that's
lost to you every meal that you had that
you didn't even notice you were eating
it's
lost this is why you make bras in every
single moment and there's a mitzah for
everything it's to sit there and to
gather your thoughts every moment in
time we make kiddish you know what Kish
is Kish is don't miss this moment
stop before every event you man ifem is
everything so what
doeses mean what makes something Godly
Hashem is existence total existence so
kadha is to
exist when I'm being I'm
being is to be curled up and a little
ball and
hiding someone
who's people who are being you're total
being a is someone who's being the
person who's V alive and his eyes are on
fire and he wakes up early in the
morning he's said kades if we believe
that hasem is reality so what is
Kish we think artificial things I say
these words they people say
something what is the proclamation that
Hashem is real Hashem is the world is
Godly you know what says the world's
Godly the person who wakes up early in
the morning with fire is screaming to
the world that Hashem is here the person
who's curled up into little bll and
hiding is saying there's no hasem it's
not
beautiful it's not words that we say
it's a
mindset Shay means to who's mades the
guy who's up first is the greatest mades
he's saying look at this world it's
Godly live it don't miss
it now like
this this is I want to spend two more
seconds and I'll trans you
to works like this and there's a problem
El elasa works there's two types of
people there the guy who gets up in the
morning my job is to beep there's a guy
who gets in the morning and what he does
is like
this they told me I have till line:
everyone's coming in here okay it's a
free class okay you didn't pay for it
you're here you got it
anyway there are people who wake up in
the morning and they go to Sho because
they got to run out of house they got to
get a house they go to sh and then they
go to work because they got to go away
from sh they don't want to face hem and
then there people and they run home from
they run out of work to the because they
got to get out of the office and then
they run out they go to they run home
from the because they don't want to have
to learn they can't face it then there's
the other guy he wakes up in the morning
cuz he can't wait to talk to he goes to
SCH and after SCH he can't wait to go to
his office because he wants to
accomplish things and deal with his
clients and take care of his people and
support his family then as soon as work
is over he can't wait to go home to to
to learn with his kids before they go to
sleep and read him a story and say sh
with them and tuck them in then he can't
wait till the kids sleeping because he
gets down talk to his wife and and go
over day with her and relate to her and
talk to her and then when that's over he
can't wait to go to his to go sit and
learn a little bit and have a little and
then he can't wait to and after he can't
wait to go home both people live the
exact same
schedule one person experienced 24 hours
of being he experienced his
entire that day 24 hours he experienced
sh he experienced breakfast he
experienced work he experiences children
and his relationship with his spouse and
his Kusa the other person went through
the same thing but shul was hiding from
the house and work was hiding from shul
and going home was hiding from work and
he experienced nothing the simple mush
use a secular mush you have the image of
the person who just W the girl who broke
up with her boyfriend she's eating a tub
of ice cream so you have two people with
a tub of ice cream in a spoon one person
loves ice cream they go like this and
the other one just broke up and they're
eating ice cream they're drowned in pain
one person experiences a whole tub of
ice cream the other one doesn't even
know they ate ice cream the ice cream is
hiding from SAR most people spend their
lives as a tub of ice cream and the and
a hiding everything is the tool to hide
from something else if you're to be one
of the people who experiences every
moment then that is you experience your
days but here's the problem
with the problem let's say I really
experienced let's say I'm a sh I'm that
y the guy who wakes up in the morning
can't wait to go to sh and then can't
wait to go to work can't wait to go home
I Live 24 hours how much Sim do you
feel so you would think you feel a Sim
of 120 years moments you don't see we
live in a world which
has the world is divided in space and
time I don't want to down too
philosophical just means that the world
is this today and tomorrow and yesterday
and this here and somewhere else
what do I mean I mean that at any moment
in time even if I'm being I'm only being
this moment right now I'm eating a
filter fish it's delicious then I have
my kala now I'm having soup soup's
delicious but the soup is not the fish
and the fish is not the soup today I'm
in Brooklyn tomorrow I go to the country
the country has it its experience
Brooklyn has it its experience and any
moment in time even if I'm being I'm
only experiencing that moment of being I
use weird muscle you go to SCH after SCH
you finish you shake his hand gabas and
then you let go and I shake his hand
gabas and the course and I shook 40
people's hands gavas the problem is no
to shake the second guy hand I'd let go
of the first guy because we have space
and time I can only have one experience
at a moment and even though I'm being I
only experience this being and tomorrow
I experience this being so I go through
a life of 120 years of being I just
shook 40 hands and sh
but at any moment I was only connect to
one person so I never really get to
experience the the hasem the existence
that I did I experienced a lot of
existence I've been to almost every
state in the United States I've seen
many countries but in that moment I was
there and then it goes away yeah
memories but it's not there so even
though we are not really experiencing
the truth of Our Lives we maybe did
experience we weren't hiding we weren't
pushing the snooze button and pulling
the cover of we were living we were
being I said my bras I made kidish I was
present I wasn't hiding from the world
but still all my experiences
go this world is because even the things
that I felt are gone let me tell you
what is and this is why I told you I'll
be say it very short and the whole thing
will be
cleara is the experience of Total
Justice is the experience of every
single one of the experiences of lives
if you took your life
and you remove the illusion of space and
time so what would
be every single one of the things that
you lived every experience you had
stacked every single thing that you live
through all of your moments you
understand whatab isab is totally
rational Hashem is totality your life is
a slice of totality how much of your
life you experience is how many moments
you were present for and is that's why
we call it Mish it's the it is totally
honest whatever you felt you you will
feel every smile you ever had stacked
every piece of filter fish and soup and
every and deeper things and every and
every understanding and every and every
hug all one stacked on the other it's
just a total it's the MS of you this you
understand why this is that's what we
should feel I should be feeling right
now all the joy of all my moments but
I'm not cuz things go cuz I'm not there
I can't be here and there but space in
Hashem there's no space is the
experience of the totality of my life
it's a very scary notion you know why
because there's no free rides this is
what I said you have to be brave to get
this class how do you
have how do you have it you got to do
it every single thing that you hide from
you have a hard day and you turn
everything off and you pull the cover
over your head that day is gone and all
those things you could have had are not
going to be
there and if you wasted 40 years but
that doesn't mean tomorrow you can't
start we have to start to live because
forever is a long time and forever you
are going to live of whatever you
assembled
here let me tell you one more deeper
thing you know what gim is
so is the experience of all that you
lived gam is the exact same
place you going to experience everything
that you did and you're going to see
everything that you could have had that
you didn't do and you will live with the
in the Eternal SAR of all those things
that you could have experienced for
everything if I would have been awake if
I would have been
there there is nothing more just than
that this is total mbat it is so fear
and so
perfect it's not the
magical I do Mitzvah andem gives me
points and then I cash it in for goods
and
prizes it's you're building youra youra
is the experience of
your Hashem is everything and every and
you're something and you will experience
you're something only if you live it
and therefore the purpose of life is to
start to live and this is a class on
what is and I just gave you part one I
really have do I am I supposed to stop
early or I have till: Who's The Boss No
102 is the next 10 two so I'm done okay
so let me just say
this I'll just I'll give you the hint of
the next two this is stage one of after
comes and then the whole world
disappears and we have What's called the
shabas
the ultimate sh is 6,000 years stage one
is what I describ ASA is the stacking of
all of your
moments the next stage after you stack
all of your moments so you are
experiencing what your life every single
thing you did and the hakar of every
single thing that you could have done
and you didn't do that's what you
have after that comes something
called which is your entire Legacy your
parents and grandparents cuz you are not
a pro your life isn't just your life you
are a result of if your parents created
a safe house a safe home so you were
brave and you lived a certain way and
you had experiences you didn't hide and
then your children will grow up even
more safe because they grow up in a
safer home and they're going to have
more expansive lives and if you were
cruel and mean and you made your kids
feel not safe so your children will curl
up into in a tighter ball and they going
to have less
experiences the first stage of happen is
you you will experience your life the EM
of your
life is with your entire Legacy from to
you all of the stages of your life the
experience will be of all the moments of
my legacy the truth of my line and
that's that's the next stage of the
stacking not just of my life but of the
myself my father my grandfather great
grandfather great and my children all
those lines the whole thing what did we
experience meaning all all the
repercussions of my actions my actions
weren't just what I felt what I felt
contributed to how my children feel and
they what they're going to feel so the
True Justice is not just to stack my
life but at stage two is is the
experience of where all of my line will
stack all of their lives and that's the
total experience of if I hid and I ran
away I didn't go to work and I didn't do
any make a parosa my children grew up
miserable and they were made fun of in
school and they just they hate the whole
world and they don't do anything so they
lose everything so then the stacking of
all that are and if I made I worked hard
and I made a house that feel safe and my
children embraced life and they went out
and they lived and everything was full
of excitement and joy so then that
experience of stacking that family every
door adds infinitely more joy and that
stacking and then the final stage of
after the the six after the 6,000 years
where all of Isel the stacking of not
just my line my grandparents which were
all of clell with all the implications
had in each other because one person one
being where the whole world gets folded
and all the divisions disappear the
world gets destroyed metaphorically
because it's no longer about the
divisions it's one experience of the
stacking of the entire Humanity
experiencing all the symphony that we've
all experienced together these are the
Stag that's the shabas this is why when
we think about shabas we call
shabas because the whole week we work
and shabas we don't create anything
shabas we sit back and we stack all the
experience of our weeks we eat what we
created during the week we talk about
what we learned during the week shabas
is a taste where I get to experience all
of my little experiences stacked into
one little pile is the stacking of all
of the experiences of all the 6,000
years it's the shabas
shab to the
strength to embrace the few moments that
gave us and may we live those moments
and then we create homes where we have
children who will brace those moments
even with greater depth and greater
innocence and excitement than we did and
may we have grandchildren may all of our
dois expand in their ability to
experience the world
and in the experience of this true theim
of the the revelation of the unity of
hem may we finally live the words that
CL is has died
with all bask in the Splendor of the of
the experience that
