all right so welcome to tonight's tiny
class everyone relax it's Tanya it's
time to really really enjoy after I'm
sure a hard week it's time just to
connect into the mode of Tanya
okay so just we are studying Tanya as
you all know the Bible of mysticism
we're holding in the fourth section of
time you called big Erika kodesh holy
letters of the authority and every
single chapter everything a letter is
has its own message because it's the
Bible of mysticism and it's usually
complete obviously there's certain areas
are explained more in one area or
another but each one has its own theme
so time we're studying Parrikar Bayes
chapter 22 which happens to be a very
very important chapter in Tonia it
happens to be a strong chapter and with
a very very powerful message and we're
gonna give it a very very positive spin
because it starts off on the on the
rough side but the rough is only to find
the gem in the chapter so the Opera with
this this see I try to find the theme in
this week in each chapter so the theme
in this chapter is the idea that our son
loves us how He loves us and because
ocean loves us everything in our life is
great that is the theme of chapter 20 to
take it in
soak it in feel it Hashem loves us right
you get that if someone loves us if you
love cuddle cradled by God something
loves us and therefore everything I like
is great yes guess what
class is over right if you got that and
you got it in right we're done but now
we're gonna get into it and that is
really the theme of tonight's chapter
even though when you start reading the
key sir that's not wasn't that snot that
I was saying but you'll soon see that is
exactly what the author was saying is
that someone loves us and everything in
our lives is great
so the Opera starts a chapter he says
like this
a person goes looks at his life and
takes their assessment of his life and
we know that we're living in a physical
world and God is infinite
we're finite so we don't have everything
it's impossible per everything because
we're finite so we'll never everything
so there's things we have and the things
we don't have and I know levels of our
life physical spiritual mental emotional
psychological financial any year of our
life family friends community life is
full of ups and downs that is definition
of life like the heart like the heart
goes like this you're in trouble
the heart is up and down so life is has
its ups and has its downs what happens
when you on the upside of life life is
great life is great you're flying high
as you say in English you're flying my
life is great and that's when life is
wonderful what happens on the down part
of life things aren't going the way you
wanted to go he's thought that you go
you would like it to go
you were told it's gonna go etc etc it's
on a down side of life now that doesn't
mean everything in your life is a
disaster how people talk like that but
generally speaking is a certain area and
maybe a bunch of areas in your life
usually even it rains it pours right so
when things are not going well so what
happens like this you look around you go
oh my gosh disaster again either total
disaster partial disaster but things
aren't working out the way you want
won't want to work out so what do people
do
so the opéra says there is a certain
thread amongst people that they run to
rabbis and say rabbi straighten up my
life
anyone can relate and people want to
rabbis all over the world whether in
America we live in America or in Israel
or anywhere in the world and you see
round one straighten out my life
help me my life is a disaster or this
part of my life is a disaster
so the optimist says why are you running
to a rambling what do you think the
rabbi's going to do for you and the
altar is coming up from an emotional
perspective from a truly academic
perspective and a historical protect
perspective possibly you want to call
modern English a scientific perspective
that go back through history of Judaism
we know who are the greatest rabbis that
lived the greatest rabbis that lived the
world wants people in Mishnah and Talmud
they're cold and Hebrew and know you and
am i Ryan the tournament of Miriam the
leaders the ones that wrote the Mishnah
and Talmud the least rolling down on
paper
obviously everything comes everything
else been divinely inspired but these
are the rabbi's they wrote down the
Mishnah and Talmud etcetera people and
then go to them because they had
physical issues material issues mental
issues emotional relational
psychological issues financial struggles
hiddenville to them for that they went
to them because they were studying Torah
they were studying Mishnah they were
selling Talmud they were studying may
become Kabbalah whatever they were
studying at that time they didn't
understand it they were looking for a
deeper understanding and they went to
ask them to help them that's why I went
to them for so they went to ask them to
help them study and understand but you
think nobody ever went to them to ask
them for material things for material
struggles like why are you bothering the
rabbis she's pretty strong on this
for this alone you can go throughout by
saying I goofed Alvarez doing he
something I can't go to him right but
then he says however however again since
he's coming to you from a factual
perspective
he says the truth is we do find that
people did go to humans for help who are
they go - they went to the province and
he brings down a famous story with Kings
soul that went to the prophet Samuel
about the some horses that got lost and
the winter prophet the helper to the
Prophet told him where they were and so
on and so forth so you find the people
weren't the prophets javis fine I get
that maybe rabbis know but in and
property in London but so why you going
to the rabbis there's no prophets today
now actually it's interesting that
there's a commentary on the time because
it's a very very famous chapter and
Tonja because here's the Alpha is laying
out you know dealing with an important
issue people have issues all they'll
only go to rabbis and one of the
commentaries say that here you see or
Macedon would say that what the author
was really saying was yeah you shouldn't
go to our boys you should go to prophets
and the reason people go and went and
still move to ravage because they
believe their boys are prophets okay so
he like it's a Jewish people they
believe they're brown boys are prophets
is that going to help us unravel your ID
if you're going to sort of rabid cuz
he's a rabbi you're right
stoked in my Torah study but we believe
that certain rabbis read these were
prophets and that's why they went they
went to them now interesting an
assignment I'd only get into it right
now I want to really focus more about
this chapter on a site you know they say
that later on and the lady is after we
actually you know I wouldn't say God
forbid we need that but he actually said
it's still okay to go through the
rabbi's for for direction for help and
so on and so forth but that's again
another whole discussion we're not gonna
have that discussion right now we're
talking about this chapter so it's not a
discussion with you shouldn't go you
shouldn't go we'll leave that for
another time but again if you believe
your rabbis a prophet then you can still
go to him it's not even a shoe okay
I'm sorry what even if nothing
because he's not knowledge is much more
than I in a sense you want to argue at
the altar of you on camera - okay it's
okay so okay we don't talk about that in
public we don't talk about that in
public okay okay again this topic about
whether you should go shouldn't go why
people still go it's a heavy discussion
we can have it another time but let's
stay focused in this chapter but you do
see down river shedding he's creating up
a strong statement at least in this
chapter
okay now the fact is people still do go
people still go there set the record say
people still go corral watch for their
action now again it could be for one or
two reasons either because the altar
made these changes mind later on which
we have to the point in which we have to
research that whether good that is
correct when I do it right now or second
week they believe this rabbis a prophet
all right so we at least for right now
you can settle this Israel no but on
this vein on this vein of this and then
again it's a heavy topic without as
people go houses let's try to understand
why are you going and obviously the
point you'll see the outcome actually
takes it up my my opinion to a positive
spin it's that because God's videos want
to help you and that because I believe
people should find help because he wants
to really empower you to to really do
your own work and actually grow grow
from the challenge that you're having
so the out purposes like this why do
people why do people go running to
profits or rabbis they believe in
profits around but why do people go
running for help
so the algorithm something that's a very
powerful line he says
that what happens like this when a
person is in pain and going through a
struggle whatever the pain is a struggle
is physical Terry oh the pain
so what happens is we for a moment focus
on what on the paint you focus on the
pain and what happens when you focus on
the pain and it's pain it's real pain
no one says count against real thing and
it's yep pain you should have a person
shouldn't be in pain but what happens is
the optimist says usually interesting
terminology that we become blind
was it neither combined we become
obsessed I'm focused on the pain and
because we become obsessed and focus on
the pain the only thing we want to is
get rid of the pain and when you only
want to get rid of the thing you'll do
anything to get rid of the pain so some
people unfortunately turn to alcohol and
drugs and other addictions and some
people look to rabbis to take care of
the pain again coming from the
perspective that why you see reaching
out for help that we're saying is
because you're focusing on the pain and
it becomes a self-love and the only
thing you want to do is get rid of the
pain now that doesn't mean you shouldn't
get rid of the pain and doesn't mean
sure when she's lookin playing God for
it now be saying you should look the
pain but we're dealing with why do you
run to a rabbi or for any other thing to
assume you're playing coz you're just
focusing on soothing the pain now
if you're able to take a deep breath and
it's not easy grant you it's not easy
you're in pain you're struggling well
and it could be something very very
small it could be something big but to
every person pain is relevant to the
person people can handle more people
have a handle less but they all have you
able to take a moment within the pain
hold tight and take a deep breath and
have a paradigm shift that within the
pain while you're in pain you could
focus on the pain how it hurts and guess
what you're gonna do strange crazy
things and people have done very very
crazy things which we're not gonna get
into how far people have gone just
focusing on the pain what are you gonna
stop and say hold on a second who runs
the world within the pain to do it who
runs the world who runs the world
Hashem exactly now now we're sitting in
a tiny class objective where everyone
had a nice dinner we're calm relaxed we
met I think we all know a showman's the
world now it doesn't change the fact who
does really run the world
sure so now we're sitting here calm
relaxed focused you know some of the
world in the moment of pain who runs the
world then you feel like it you can feel
like but who still runs the world then
exactly so even in the pain nothing
changed you have pain right now but we
didn't get rid of God to operate to run
the world we don't have a new God
running the world our sin still runs the
world so in the moment of pain and it's
not easy because you're in pain right
now you stopping and saying who runs the
world and the answers are showing the
world how certain one's the world
my son runs the world the some created
that also runs the world so the pain
that I'm having right now the struggle
I'm having right now is God involves an
uninvolved gods and oh yeah God's
involved so why are you doing this to me
well lesson
you're jumping without any dents yet I
wanted to walk the further just ask the
question you want to take this slowly
this is a deep this is not a simple
thing you're in pain you were able to
okay let me just double check who's
created the world God who runs the world
God so I believe you stole created it
runs it yes so with our seven doing this
thing right now yeah yeah we'll get in
somewhere in the pain if those is a
conversation that could happen to have
something real quick sometimes when your
pain you don't get a lot a lot of time
to decide we said oh my gosh and runs
the world
okay and now comes the big question all
right I said what now why let's remember
that why is not a good question we
we say the profits King David says Lamar
which means why your argument the
nations of the world ask Lama why we
don't ask why why the slippery slope
dangers crushed never ask why never ask
why and it's a major difference don't
ask why the question you have to ask is
what big difference
Austria arm shikaka life fortunate as
the nation should cover they say what is
God doing see the big difference why he
has a tinge and feminized a heavy tinge
of blame and now you get into like a war
with thoughts like why are you doing
this like it's almost like saying god
you're doing something wrong you're
you're accusing him and then you're in
effect with God it's not the question is
why questions God what is this all about
I honestly isn't certainly wonder what's
all about now if you're asking what
you're coming from an objective place
you really want to know what God is
doing why is you ready many of your mind
that God is doing a bad thing and that
there's a judgement how you gonna learn
anything when you ask why it's hard to
learn you ready you ready made the
judgment it's a bad thing why are you
doing this to me yeah this is another
take on why do bad things happen to good
people
correct yes but that you don't ask the
question why the question is what God
what are you doing see how you see how
much more welcoming the question is and
how it's not closed off why is a closed
off question what is like oh god what
are you doing here yeah I really want to
know I want to know
I wonder what guns I want to know what
God is doing now once you answer the
question of what car is doing is so now
we can say by the way you know that new
prophets we spoke about prophets before
and in Proverbs King Solomon says as
follows if you can look it up if you
want chapter 3 verse 12 he says as
follows
ready for this say to people asa sure
Yogesh an EOP are the people that God
loves your views the people that God
loves here abuse so in other words in
other words when you're going through
pain suffering challenges any questions
god what are you doing it like a sincere
friendly question if you're gonna be
calm cool and collected in that
situation you say that what are you
doing I do know that you do say the
prophets the people you love you rebuke
you know you give them a little needle
so I guess you love me so you must be
you must be doing something to me now
what happened is like this once you take
that perspective that a shepherd really
loves you and therefore Christian loves
you he's doing whatever he's whatever
you're experiencing right now now are
you gonna go run to some prophet to stop
this no I want to know I'll shut what's
funny buddy what do you want
so the album takes this meditation a
step further now
if you think about this if a um really
loves you and if some peers about you
and instrument your father that loves
you and seven gives us he just doesn't
give us so we can survive
he gives us because he really cares
about us definitely uses an example he
says like this hash of runs the world
he runs the world it wouldn't operate
without sham running it now we all know
the Jewish people are his chosen people
or not just the Torah right after
marathon of God chose us Adam tilaka
scream agree call there's many many
different verses God chose us now God
has to run the world and he has people
that he loves in the world things that
you have to run do you sit they would
love and run it or you put it on
automatic pilot that it runs and the
brakes you call the mechanic a go fix
that pipe right but something that's
your own child and your only son are you
involved in every step of the way with
love yes
so in other words if we believe that
Hashem loves us and that's the truth and
if some cares about us and he's involved
in every step of our life the good the
bad and the ugly and the pain and the
suffering it's all coming from us and so
therefore when when we're experiencing
what we're experiencing what do we need
to do say God thank you in other words
if God buys you a present we have a
bunch of ladies want your nice I don't
know Gucci Versace cheese from my affair
for a gumbo some kind of nice bag look
at all the smiles right you guys are
look at this oh my gosh alright any boy
ten bags I recall her you wanted every
size and today look at this right the
guys okay I covet a car I don't what you
guys like
all right you guys be happy but what
happens if God all of a sudden gives you
like a constructive criticism speech
you guys can't handle it one second if
it's coming to the same guy that loves
you and it's your perspective god really
want to want you have the same attitude
so whose flaws that God's are ours if we
really believe God loves us just like he
takes care of all our needs our basic
needs all our luxuries and he wants to
make sure we're happy sometimes you have
to tell us hey don't go over there cuz
you're gonna hurt yourself do we want to
hear don't go there no no we want to
hear go there but sometimes guys like
don't go there not good for you
so if we look at God that God is like
this mean God guess what
he doesn't like us but if we really
believe that God loves us and he really
does love us and he cares about us so
whatever he's doing say God thank you so
much the same smile he got from those
fancy bags we got to get the same smile
from hey don't do that or that's
inappropriate
why cause it's all coming from the same
God it's focused on the fact that it's
coming from the same God that loves you
then there really should not be any
difference and there really is no
difference now if when God does
something you don't like you go run to
somebody and tell them hey look what God
did to me you going to the round but hey
you're regarded to me
hello is that appropriate so what's the
Alpha you say so why are you running
because you're focusing on the fact that
he told you know the fact that you're
experiencing pain right now
you forgot the focus on who it's coming
from in other words if you're focusing
on the pain you're gonna go wrong to
somebody hey go talk to God look what
he's doing to me and that would be a
pride perspective but if you're focusing
that it's coming from God whatever is
kind of Maya is great god forbid you
have a child that dies you go blind you
some horrible cancer how about you say
those things are great do you have all
three of those things where do we get to
choose so here's a story okay you're
bringing up a very very good question
very good question obviously this is
something which you know it's to make
clear this is something this like these
ideas are true ideas now but what
happens with these ideas and if Detroit
is it's not changing the fact this is
something you cannot lecture somebody
and especially when they're going
through the struggle this is something a
person has to work on themselves and
takes a lot of work this wasn't written
in one day this is not studied in one
day there's something you've got to
study and you got to discuss and you
gotta bring on it and you have to you
know it has to become part of you then
it's it gives you the tools you need
that when you go through a struggle
you're going to even make it through
life but god forbid I make a disclaimer
you should go ahead and give this
lecture to somebody's going through a
struggle right now someone's going
through stories if you'll be struggling
for god loves you it's all good no don't
do that because they're not ready to
hear it it has to be something which
which the person is ready and able to
accept and is able to hear so there's
something Goffman you don't share to
anyone else and even yourself obviously
it's a process it takes a while to
become strong with it it's like for
example it's you want to go swim the
national marathon that's it you're gonna
go start running here right now people
died doing it too early you got to be
trained for it so this is part of the
training to train yourself to realize
how God loves us and once you develop
that loving relationship with God and
you realize that God really loves you
then doctor when you do with a struggle
and sometimes a big struggle hopefully
you can have you can handle it like pro
no guarantee you know for the biggest
people of film and as many many stories
and people of your believes believe
believe and then when they went through
their personal struggle oh my gosh they
couldn't make couldn't handle it so this
is we're talking about very high level
couple of very high level mysticism that
deals with real issues and doesn't mean
for one class like this boom you're
giving your your your transformed person
this is stuff that it requires work but
I will tell you that if you do the work
you'll be able to handle life's
challenges and life struggles that's
much much easier and again how long does
it take how much time it all depends on
the person depends on your soul pence I
don't you pray haven't you connect to
God but it's something which I can
guarantee if you work on it you study
and you go through a chain you you know
you study this you know study some other
sources that deal with this type of
stuff over time you develop a healthy
perspective with goddess but God wants
out of life and you have real tools how
to deal with life but so that's in
general I mean and that's why you don't
blanket answer for these type of things
every situation sniffing and only one
can answer is a personal at their own
struggle you know as no one can answer
for someone else's struggle because
that's their struggle and I'm fortunate
some people you know have struggles and
they never saw just being able to get
out of it that's why it's best to
prepare yourself
so when struggles to hit you they'll
have the strength and the ability to
overcome them with God's help so again
this is not you're not becoming a black
belt and the other but life struggles
from one class right here but it's
definitely a start in the right
direction and again there's many many
other resources but it's good stuff this
is really really good stuff really
really good stuff okay so now and again
remember this is everyone is that
everyone is on their own journey but
these are tools that will work over time
and every person is different snobbery
goes now a step further
okay so we got so basically we're
perspective is perspective is this
infinite God's loves me and loves me so
much and just like he gives me all my
great things that I see is great all the
things that I perceive as challenging
it's also great coming from this great
God that loves me now once I have that
perspective then life is great it's
always good because God loves me so
everything's great so the optimist says
but let's let's be practical Ike you
said I'm going through a challenge right
now
how do I look in a positive way to the
challenge employment and everyone
thinking you're online just different
challenging going through like what's
the positive message them to me it's a
challenge to me it's painful to me to
struggle what am I supposed to get to it
so the optimist is like this I'll give
you an analogy you buy yourself a nice
car when your spouse behind you nice car
nice expensive car and you driving down
the road and all of a sudden there's a
red light that starts blinking dollar is
about 30 that's not give us analogy I'm
giving you an algae to explain his point
he doesn't talk about a red light
blinking in the crime scene that cars in
those days okay I have horse and buggies
maybe this right okay
so light starts blinking you go oh my
gosh my spouse's want me it's expensive
car what's this crazy flashing light so
you put a piece of tape when you cover
over it alright and you keep on driving
and guess what light went away
voila my he's my the spouse is amazing
brought me a car no blinking lights
normal flashing lights you know what
happened someone who the car totally
breaks down now you bring it to the
mechanic goes oh my gosh you blew your
whole engine what do you mean how come
no one warned me pulls off the tape
hello it was a fun oh she's crazy flat
let lights flashing on me now what would
be the first having flash you to stop
into the gas station a couple of bucks
he would have fixed it yuck that went on
but by ignoring the flashing lights
you've ruined your whole engine instead
of trucking cost to $300 the fixes cost
me thousands of dollars a fix whose
fault is it the answer is very simply
you had flashing lights you hadn't worn
again do with it the optimist says very
very simple when you start having
challenges and struggles again I'm not
saying you should say just anyone else
there's something for yourself
remember don't save us anywhere else
because it would be rude and
inappropriate but to yourself in the
anxiety challenge a doctor that was
giving you tools toolbox for life say to
yourself
there's probably some things I need to
fix an oil change a spiritual oil change
I might need to change my tires maybe I
don't know there's something wrong let
me go sit down with them a car mechanic
a spiritual mechanic say you know what
I'm getting this message from God
I need a tune-up maybe I need to study
some what Torah they need to pray maybe
I need to get more charity maybe need to
do two moments though do we have to have
more love for other people I don't know
help me this obviously something God is
telling me there's something in your you
need to fix some things so guess what
happens so you go in and maybe this way
you go to your rabbi right not to solve
your life push a button but say hey
let's do some soul-searching what Erie's
your IQ can come better at and if you
look at it that way so what happens in
your head when you're having you're
experiencing pain and suffering you can
again the last thing you want to focus
on the pain because that was sucked into
getting in a chapter if you focus just
on the pain you're gonna run around
doing crazy things go back to the
drawing board okay God runs the world
God loves me hmm he's telling me these
lights you only send these lines cuz he
loves me he wants me to address the
issue while it's small before it becomes
big yeah he wants me to address the
issue was small before it becomes big
and therefore when the light goes on
what am I saying
Thank You Hashem for creating these
warning lights they don't have to have a
total nervous breakdown simple example
people go through they get stressed
about certain things right so what's the
normal thing take a break take a small
vacation and take a day off right well
it's not I'm not taking a vacation right
I'm not taking a break and you just keep
on going what's gonna happen we all know
yeah you got a nervous breakdown you get
burnt out with so on and so forth but
when you see you start you know you see
things are like you know overboil stop
God made us that way so God made us
physically that way he made us that way
spiritually as well and that's the way
God sent us messages
now that makes sense so the Opera takes
the step for a man do you like it makes
sense like I mean you may make sense to
you that's great it works for you this
is not something you can impose upon in
anybody but if anyone took some soldiers
and they realize you know this make
sense
agreed now what happens when you take
this approach let's look at it the big
picture so what happens like this he
goes through some pain and suffering all
right so first of all the perspective is
you stay strong God loves the world God
clear the world God loves me everything
from God is good the good stuff I know
is good this stuff is good let me think
now I have to be creative what is good
over here
ah you know what's good over here
very very simple God sending a message
and I say thank you God for sending me
the messages for all these great things
thank you so guess what see you got the
message you address the issue and boom
you fix it and life is good now you're
gonna say well it's no problems
obviously look the lady said well there
are shoes listen I need you go to the
mechanic all the sudden it's this one
and they tell you said that's also wrong
so fix it all up and guess what you have
a nice new car running again or a
renewed car the optimist says and he
takes a step further so right now God
was sending you on messages what kind of
messages now I'll show you the most
comfortable messages right but when you
take in the pawns in a positive aim all
of a sudden God doesn't have to say
anymore these like painful messages but
God still wants have a relationship with
you he's still gonna send you messages
he doesn't send you any negative
messages because you've got it
so he's gonna start sending you good
things war ferragamo bags and word I
don't know you guys like in Gucci bags
and cars and chocolates ice cream
whatever whatever you guys want God will
sentence you all in a revealing why why
because that's all you need
it's great stuff now as you can tell
this this is the first half of the
chapter with the author who puts in
we'll take a break go for it right yeah
Cup A's in a garret the kodesh we spoke
about the first half of Tonya when the
Altima teaches us how to deal with
struggles to realize that she loves us
and everything in our life is great
so with this powerful inspiration how to
work and self refinement to realize that
everything comes from ashram is great
the good and the challenges is also
great because Sharon is sending us a
message and when we accept that and
God's just sent us great things so
always be in a great place
so once we're in the in the mode of self
refinement Albert continues on he's like
this he speaks about the importance of
prayer which is divine promise were
having tonight to junior high class also
about failure so we have talked too much
about it but the point that he brings
that was chapter my prayer is like this
then what happens like this pray our
doctoral says extremely powerful why is
that because prayer has the power of
forgiveness forgiveness that allows
anything you did wrong to go away that
allows you to forgive other people and
when your nose when you're holding on to
grudges when you're upset you're like
it's attachments you can't really sort
however when you pray is ask God to
forgive you and you forgive yourself and
you forgive other people guess what
you're really really a free person
you're really really a free person and
the other those are dianna deep
Kabbalistic level he explained his
followers the way it works is we have
different operating systems we have our
emotions we have our intellect and then
we have totally off the charts what does
that be so let's see someone does
something wrong
to you what's your intellectual response
you did something wrong hey that's wrong
you're gonna pay up I'm gonna get you
back
but someone it's all worth now intellect
intellect says that so let's say you did
something wrong against God guess what
you did something wrong you're gonna pay
a price for it when we pray what do we
say to God God forgive me what does that
mean forgive you you did something wrong
when we forgive you and the author
explains that basically what does idea
forgiveness means we're not going to do
this intellectually we're not going to
make a calculation we're just gonna say
God let's just let it go and God lets it
go
now when God lets things go we learn to
let things go also and the more you let
go of things in life the happier you are
and with and we'll talk about tonight
more at length enjoy but besides more
about forgiveness in the JLI but here
the upper goes on it takes this step
further that if you really want self
refinement in a real way so before we
spoke about our own struggles now that
much brings it up a notch you want to
have real happiness you want to have
zero pain you want to have only
enjoyment and happiness and the author
is to love everybody to love everybody
yes because when a person decides to
love everybody and love and Tails
eight you love everybody you're
accepting of everybody and anybody
which means you're non-judgmental you're
non-judgmental think of it what kind of
weight it takes off of you
all those do you think judgmental is
hurting the other person I have good
news for you bad news she was hurting
you you know all these judgments let go
of all the judgments against everyone
that one's not over because there's a
heavy chapter of spiritual self
refinement now now only you should not
be judgmental
and love everybody but guess what be
humbled of spirit in front of them don't
walk around with your chin up now I'm
better than them and the country cheer
them you're walking in the presence of
godly people so an amateur looks at it
why should I be their doormat know when
you walk around your humble in front of
it it makes you a lot you makes you
lighter and there's no greater life than
living a life being light calm and no
judgments and everyone's great
what do you get them all these baggage
about people in your head than in your
art let it all go
now how does that come about how can you
really be non-judgmental love everybody
and be humble the spirit and the offer
actually makes it very easy for you very
very easy this is very simple
the source why someone's judgmental and
arrogant and gossips is because there's
a certain belief which is a false belief
that we believe on me you're you and
therefore I'm better than you and you
did this wrong the source is because
this me and you and what is better and
one it's worse than someone and so forth
but if you believe and this is the truth
that we're all one you ever see one
finger say to the other finger I'm
better than you
hello its fingers you might say about
somebody else but they don't say it
about yourself you don't look in the
mirror and say this half of the face is
better than the other half of the face
hello it's one face it's one you were
being so if you believe not only believe
but you felt that we're all one where's
the judgment the source of the judgment
and the source of the arrogance and the
source of all the negative behaviors is
me you you me once it's all wanders but
there's there's no judgment separation
separation there's no judgments once
world one life is great
life is great because what happens god
something you don't believe you one you
know what happens people stop gossiping
and the author brings here we won't what
brings here the famous line from the
Talmud that when we all know that God
gave us 613 commandments 248 positive
360 our negatives
now all at one level over all the
commandments are equal on the other
level we do know there's different
levels and Commandments the biggest
proof is certain ones a transgression
punishment is death and certain ones
lashes and certainly there's different
levels but we know there are three
that are like from the hop from the
highest in other words like for example
we know let's see for example an
unconscious Shabbat so she might get
from szura Shabbat unless he saw them
that become sick you're a desperate are
you supposed to desecrate the Shabbat to
heal the person so certain Commandments
don't apply in certain cases however
they are three Commandments which is
forbidden relationships killing somebody
idolatry in those three cases you have
to be willing to give your life not to
transgress those three now it says the
Talmud that when a person gossips guess
what
it's worse than all three put together
think about that think about that next
time you gossip I'm doing idolatry
killing - written relation all in one
one in one gossip session and that's
pretty intense so therefore why would
you want to do that besides the fact
you're separating yourself and other
people but you're transgressing from the
worst sins by not getting along so in
other words gossiping verbal gossiping
is is a disaster a spiritual disaster
what it does to you spiritually Wow
Arthur's gossiping related to forbidden
relationship
this helmet says it's worse than all
three what it is it has a connection
because basically gossiping you you
really you're you're crossing the road
between one of the other you're not
respecting every person and they're in
their space I mean it's connected to all
three connect all three now and here dr.
burr goes into takes us all I'll hold a
whole nother whole novel what does that
mean like this and it's actually the
biggest gift he gives he takes it up
enough to gives you the biggest gift
this is like this
so what are we saying you shouldn't talk
negatively about anybody else so what
happens so fine I'm not gonna talk
negative anybody I guess well Oh read my
mind
not mine mine is hopefully clean but
read someone's mind or but people in
their mind they have all these negative
thoughts about other people and even of
themselves as well by the adat gossip
doesn't only find other people if you
say bad things about yourself it's also
gossip and slander you people do that
negative self-talk
it's crazy as it sounds so the others
now only shouldn't you speak it but you
shouldn't even think it why and the hit
doctor explains cabbalistic leave that
God gave us three garments thought
speech and action action is external
from us it's just an action you can do
things that you don't even care about
you just do it
speech already is more you people don't
usually say things they don't really
think and believe in I mean some people
do many people read off teleprompters
they read out you know hired speeches
they don't know what it says there
but generally speaking when someone
talks and you're talking passionately
you need something however what is the
deep the closest to you so the other
seven your thinking negative thoughts
when you're thinking gossip you know
what it's doing to your mind you're
literally creating a virus a bad one
within your mind and that's who you are
in your thought process so therefore not
only shouldn't you talk negatively of
someone else you think negative that
somebody else but then the output flips
it around and says like this and this is
very powerful so we're dealing with
walked damage control don't talk bad
don't think bad I'll just stop
why do damage control do you want to
have a clear mind do you want a clear
heart you want to clear healthy what's
the buzz words today organic raw vegan
right or whatever right natural you want
to have something healthy
holistic holistic there you go right all
the you a holistic mind guess what
feed it healthy fuel what's healthy fuel
for the mind the thoughts
of thoughts in other words in your mind
and in your thought the only thing that
should be sitting there in the loading
dock because your mind is working 24/7
because it's been sitting there 24/7 is
positive beautiful thoughts don't allow
the negative thoughts to enter your
spiritual domain in every eye you know
there's a term we use you know there's
different rent districts right you have
things that you do think these thought
is the highest rent district that we
have why don't you put negative thoughts
in your highest rent district that will
corrupt not only your thought but your
speech in your action and your mood and
everything about you and stress and so
on and so forth so the algebra says to
be careful to make sure that your
thoughts not only are not negative so
you're not corrupting your bad stuff no
be proactive you should think
exclusively only positive thoughts find
the positive spin find the positive spin
it's an art but once you make a soul
commitment you know what happens you
know what happens first so you do it but
more importantly you live a great life
and I'll tell you the interesting name a
barn provenance so I prepared these
classes I mean I really get into it so
what what is that what's the end this is
the last part of the chapter what's up
I'm saying make sure that your mind is
exclusively filled positive thoughts
so someone this morning sends me a clip
of a project son was doing and he had a
negative comment about it
a negative comment so I'm reading it I'm
saying okay do I want this negative
count my brain No so in the past I would
just delete it and move on but that
that's not always happens the author
says no no you want positive comments in
your brain so I said okay
let me find something positive about
this project and it was not easy by the
way right it was not an easy thing
because it was just it was just like a
crazy thing but it wasn't bad it wasn't
bad or evil it just wasn't there's
nothing positive about it and literally
the guys comment about it was not
positive so I'm thinking okay I have a
positive product comment and I sent them
back a voice note I said oh my gosh
that's the most amazing thing I've seen
and I gave it a positive spin you know
what I never heard back from the guy
he's praying embarrassed that's okay the
point I'm trying to bring out is what I
did was not only didn't I push it out of
my mind because because I pushed it out
crying but I would had the residue from
a negative message I didn't clean it up
I didn't send him to the wall or to the
washing machine what I did was actually
I mean you I actually spins it around
and I turns it into a clean project now
whether it's gonna work at sunnygurl
that's not mine it's not my issue but
the point is if it loads into my space
we only have positive projects here now
if it's negative guess what it's because
I see the negative and I need to train
myself I only see positive so the author
of finished off the chapter teaching you
that the most important thing we have is
what our thought thanks not only don't
think negative that's a given but think
positive anything that happens find
something positive and when you find
things positive guess what you will only
have positive things in life and the
after we finished off the chapter in
such a beautiful way but now you see the
depth of it
Hashem should bless everybody with the
blessing of peace because when you're
positive and you get along with
everybody and you get along with God
guess what think that's the greatest
piece this chapter shows you beside the
spank that's from loves no some is great
it's really about peace because we get
along with God everything we've got is
great we're not in two pieces now
because now we know it's all it's all
it's all it's all wholesome it's all
it's all good it's all great life is
great any interaction with anybody is
all great and if God forbid we see or we
hear something negative
guess what get to work and spin it to a
positive spin and then we'll have only
great and beautiful blessings in our
life because our life is gonna be full
of peace pull a positive positivity and
full of happiness
Thank You rabbi yes okay this chapter
