Chanuka Tripping

Shalom and welcome to practical spirituality the uh experience of haneka is what we're in right now so I'd like to I'd like to give everyone that experience let's trip together so um I know most people think of tripping is some that you take some kind of a psychedelic you're asking if there's a guitar around have you seen a guitar you want to grab a guitar yeah borrow a guitar try to grab the nicest one with a pig so um so the you know when people think of tripping you know they're often thinking about psychedelics and stuff but but you can actually access tripping um without psychedelics which is what we're going to do today and we're going to do it in honor of Kaneka and you'll understand why very soon so first of all a very big part of tripping no pick okay a very big part of tripping is uh [Music] a very big part of tripping is that's the first time I ever tuned while playing all the strings at once but I was thinking you know after enough years of playing guitar like I know more or less how those vibrations are interacting with open an open you know the fingerboard open so I just was listening and like does this sound like an open open stringed sound and just brought each string into but it usually would sound like who knows how I did but I think I did good I was just feeling The Vibes of it so one of the parts of Tri speaking of tripping here's Rabbi Moses Rabbi Moses is always tripping it's locked what time is it he's doing sh I think was two hours ago so anyway the U no time like the Pres for prayer and thank God we got this place and these places are coming up everywhere now where people are just like I don't know it's just like this there's this whole undercurrent of people people were raised observant who are just saying to hell with it man we're we're we're going to make our own our own organizations you know where for example where prayer can be uh whenever we start praying is prayer time you know it's monil prayer time it's always prayer time you know so prayer time it's monil let's pray so part of tripping is to be in a Timeless place when people are tripping they they I for example I was once at a Grateful Dead show in Northern California and Jerry Garcia's like playing this solo and he's just like he's just flying and I don't know how this happened because we should have just been dancing but my friends and I wound up in a discussion about whether he played this solo is playing the solo or will be playing the solo and we're like everyone's like picking sides and and we're like I'm like no no no no he's going to be playing this another guy you're crazy he's playing it and another guy's no no no he played it and we're going like we could not figure out in the middle of listening to a solo whether it was being played and by the way everyone who said their T their their you know their side that he is going to be playing it we're all like oh yeah you're right he is gonna no no he already he's play anyway but this went on for about 5 minutes till finally the one guy who wasn't tripping was sitting behind us I don't know what he was doing in a Grateful Dead show cuz not tripping in a Grateful Dead show is like a you you really feel like you're tripping you know like you're the only guy who's normal which makes you crazy anyway this guy finally stands up and yells at us he's like are you guys out of your minds like Are you seriously having this discussion you know like so it's outside space and time well guess what we're celebrating light well how fast does light move light moves at the speed of light light moves at the speed of light how fast is the speed of light how fast is the speed of light to do that you'll need to turn off airplane mode it's very fast and speaking of airplan I got to put my phone on do not disto so it's very fast um but guess what the faster it goes the slower the tick tock goes so check this out if you're going like five miles per hour so it's tick tock tick tock but you go 5,000 miles per hour it's tick tock tick tock we have Einstein to thank for this if you're going a 100,000 miles per hour tick talk tick talk you're going a million miles per hour tick talk and then it just keeps getting slower and slower and slower until you finally hit the speed of sound and at the speed of sound meaning if you could take a photon of if you could take a photon of light and put a little like uh you know like a Porsche chair on it you know like because you need a serious chair you know sit on a like a Porsche like a Porsche 9911 chair and bucket seats just all strapped in harnessed and you ride the photon at the speed of light guess what no time passes there's no time there's actually a reality called no time because at the speed of light there is no time well what are we doing here we're celebrating the Kaneka and what's Kaneka Festival of Light which is just such an interesting way to celebrate it but we're celebrating the victory over the Greeks who believed in only this world like time is what it is and this physical world space and time that's your limitation that's where we're stuck and and they were all about the physical they're all about the physical world and we light that light and that little light is sending out photons at the speed of light where no time passes in an no time experience well no time experience is the beginning of tripping but let's take it much further and the much further we'll take it is that the world is coming into existence at the speed of uh more than the speed of light the world's coming into existence from absolute nothingness into somethingness the world is coming into existence from nothing to something nothing to something nothing to something because before God created the world he created the world before God created the world he existed in absolute nothingness it was before he created the world so before before God created the world he existed in nothingness absolute nothingness then once God created the world now there's something right except what what's the something being what's the something coming from it's coming from nothing what's it made of what's the something made of yeah well it's made of whatever meaning if there all there was was God what did God use to make the world light himself himself he used light but he used but if all there is is God if all there was was God what did God used to create the world he used himself he he used God so therefore so what is the world made of so before there was something there was God now that there's something what's it made of God the whole thing's made of God and and here's the next thing he's creating the world something from nothing perpetually at all times so and this is really important to get that this classroom that we're in right now this like physical world that we're in right now looks like it's permanent you know it looks like the same this looks like the same curtain that was here the day before but it's actually being created into existence from nothing into existence at all times physicists like this kind of Torah because they know that the atoms are spinning in such a way that the whole entire physical world is a mathematical equation when it comes down to the physics of it the whole world is really a digital simulation especially on the quantum on the level of quantum of uh you know protons neutrons electrons quirks and gluons like the whole world is is moving and it's and it's it's coming it's the it's the world that comes into existence from absolute nothing Y is the world a is the where it comes from from nothing and nothing obviously makes nothing so so so nothing makes nothing so it's obviously more than just nothing it's God and God is the only being that can make something from nothing and if you could make something from nothing we'll well we'll call you God just it's never happened before never has anything come from nothing except for the creation that comes from nothing so the world comes from the nothing that we call God which is clearly some kind of Consciousness and you have Consciousness everyone take a moment and just say the word yes when I ask you the question you ready are you aware of sitting here listening to this s what is that awareness the answer is consciousness that awareness is conscious are you aware of that everyone get aware of that okay that's the awareness of awareness and that's a great access it's a very quick access to Consciousness now you I see you guys already are starting a trip I promise you we're going to trip today so I see you're already starting a trip you notice just by you saying I'm aware of my awareness say I'm aware I'm aware that's the beginning and and by the way that's not a thought it's not a thought think about this cup think about this cup are you this cup no no so you have two things going on you have your awareness and you have the thought of the cup so you realize your awareness is not your thoughts now stay aware while thinking about the cup and it gets pretty cool you start to realize wow I'm I'm way bigger than that thought right normally you get eaten by your thoughts your thoughts consume you so your thoughts are bigger than you in this case you start with everyone say I'm aware I'm aware I'm aware aw which is fun it's same word twice same two words twice I'm aware I'm aware say it again I'm aware I'm aware I'm conscious now think about the cup staying aware you realize wow and now think about the cup and get aware of the sound of the siren and stay with the cup stay with obviously you're aware that you're aware and now get the room like this room's got like all kinds of stuff going on in it but without staring at any specific thing yeah yeah stay on the cut don't think about anything specific and if you're watching this on some kind of thing and if you're not driving go into that diffuse awareness of things all around you and what you'll realize is that you're now aware of tremendous amounts of stuff because you're awareness is the is is a a far better instrument of measure of experience than any scientific instrument that's ever been made there've never made an instrument that could do what you're doing right now stay in there stay in there and realize that you're awareness is a far greater instrument than anything ever been made and you're allowed to stay in the awareness everyone say I'm aware I'm aware aware stay in that awareness and realize how much more access you have because when you're stuck in thoughts and thoughts eat you so the thoughts bigger than you when you're in there you don't have room for any other thoughts because that thought's in charge your thoughts your thoughts are thinking you right now you're thinking your thoughts and now you suddenly realize you have a lot more room in there don't you there's no anxiety here check out how your anxiety level is right now you have any anxiety right now nothing he got massage well that there was a reason I was giving him a massage because of what he said to me at the doorway but notice it's gone so you'll when you're being consumed in your thoughts and your thoughts are eating your conscious State then then of course you could have anxiety but once you're in the conscious State hav take a deep breath use breath and now notice that when you're in this conscious place you have a lot more room for a lot more data a lot more input you got a lot of room for data and think if you could hold this think if you could hold this all the time everyone's going to be asking you questions you get that instead of you going around trying to find advice which I suggest you do because we all need advice but you'll start to notice people are coming to you for advice you know why because they're starting to notice you got space for other than just thoughts you got like big space and so when people want to throw their problem into the system and you can let it like swim around in your conscious space you know you can quickly help somebody you know I had a person who recently did the possu seminar which is coming up again I didn't look at the date again but I think it's January 6 I'm totally guessing does anyone know when my seminar is I think it's January 6 you know when it is oh when anyways this guy did my seminar and he but he asked me for a one-on-one because he's having social anxiety and I'm like when he when he asked me for the one-on-one I said didn't you do my seminar H meaning how could you have done the possible you and you still have social anxiety because the seminar just kills social anxiety so the guy says that that he did the seminar and he's still having social anxiety so he'd like to talk to me so it turns out this amazing it turns out what's his social anxiety his social anxiety is because he was accused in a public scenario like campus as a kid he was accused of being a bully and because he had been a bully once as a kid he was once a bully as a kid and he decided like wow I'm all alone now no one wants to talk to me I'm like this hurt isolated being he decided from now on I'm going to be the nicest guy around and just like totally randomly at some Camp he was accused again of being a bully but meanwhile he was being the nicest guy around now here's the thing there's a secret there's a not kind a secret there's a a special situation that people can get pulled into that can last a lifetime I don't believe it's curable and that is um when you're falsely accused if you get falsely accused of something raise your hand if you ever were falsely accused of you false FAL you see it you everwhere you see like like a large percentage in this room were falsely accused once you're falsely accused how do you ever trust the world again to not you understand like what good is what good is what you're presenting to the world if if it can be thrown at if it can be knocked down for something you didn't even do you see you didn't raise your hand so you're like this is who you are and you generally like go through the world like that if someone was falsely accused whatever that thing is is there to haunt you forever because you can't unlike everyone else you can't manage the consensus about you you can't manage the world's agreement about you it's a very deep and sad situation um it happened to me over that by the way what you can't get over that no so it happened to me I was falsely accused of stealing when I was 16 years old even saying it's causing a chemical shift in my heart um they found the person who did it months later but but it was too late for me and then I suddenly realized that I I anywhere I go I'm like I can be the one who stole it if something was stolen or not so to this day I can't walk out of a store without a bag without products meaning if I forgot something in my car I mean I'm not OCD enough to go buy a pack of gum just so I can walk out with the product but I can't walk out there without the guard you know if it's a supermarket or the cashier thinking like maybe he's got something in his pocket because he walked in now he's walking out he didn't purchase anything so you understand so so I and everyone else who's ever been falsely accused has to take that deep breath up the front of their body let's do that together up the front from the belly to the chest to the throat to the jaw to the top of the head everyone blow out first let's breathe in start with your belly go chest shoulders back head and then down your back down your back blow out down your back let's go one more up the front open up your front you know when a guy walks in all open to a kiddish you like he's a he's like a magnet down your back one more up the belly and down the back and everyone as you exhaling say I'm okay okay and so even though this guy was a graduate of the possibly you which means that he should have no social anxiety which is what happens to the graduates um by the way that was never the point of the seminar it just turns out that it just kills social anxiety but because he had this thing it never goes away but he had never learned the process of what do I got to what conversation do I have to have in my head and I was just in a store two nights ago had to go out had to go out several times out the exit and I did that breath I said I'm okay I no I'm not stealing no one thinks I'm stealing get over it and walk out of the place but for him his was social he got called out publicly for bullying when he really wasn't a bully and it was a big trigger for him because he was once a bully it's amazing that it was exactly the thing that he fixed so here he was proud of himself for three years straight that he had fixed something only to find out he was nowhere he was the bully that he wasn't obviously and to this day he's hasn't been able to walk into anywhere publicly and uh today I today MIT him we had meeting so that's sh he's going to be I'll find out soon how it works for him but the anyway so what I was saying is about Consciousness let's go back to it okay everyone say I'm aware I'm aware ready I'm aware I'm aware now we're going to snap on four one two three take a breath let's do it again we're going to say I'm aware I'm aware go ahead I'm aware I'm aware snap on four one two three let's go back to timelessness is there really time everyone ride the now ride the now it's the only thing there ever was you've never experienced time not once in your life you've never experienced future you never experienced past the only thing you can experience is now can you experience a minute minute from now can you experience a minute ago only one thing you can experience now so let's do that on four we're going to experience the now one two 3 just ride it that's the future that's the past just ride close your eyes and see the flame of the first Kaneka candle moving at the speed of light those photons hit your eyes at the speed of light photons move with the speed of light where there is no time it's Timeless open your eyes and now in this conscious state are you limited to any one personality or any one way of interaction are you at all limited like from this conscious place do you realize that you are and can do you who you are can be adapted for absolutely any situation so if someone God forbid was feeling um grief like raise your hand if it's h when you someone's in grief like real grief you'd rather someone else goes and helps them like because it's like too much for you to deal with it raise your hand if it's a little much for you to deal with someone in real grief like someone who's really falling apart okay okay now go back to snap on four one two three get back to awareness Consciousness and who would you have to be to be there for that person obviously you don't have to say anything to them they're someone in real grief you don't say anything they're not listening they're not going to hear anything so but who would you have to be to like comfort that person's heart a little bit or the opposite or help them really move all the way through the wave CU right now they're in a deep wave they're sobbing and you're like I can be there for that and you start realize hey I I've got a lot more what's a good English word for it t is Hebrew I have a lot more versatility range you're gonna be married some are married in here raise your hand if you're married in here married guys just the two of us but you're going to be married and with a woman you need a lot of range you need a lot of range right they she can be all four seasons in one day so you don't know whether they're bringing up you don't know whether to bring an umbrella or a bathing suit and most men are just like they just want a shield but that's not being the man for your woman open again open Snap On four one two three and I'm and Whisper the words I'm present and and no matter what you don't to say this but no matter what she's saying no matter what she's saying I'm giving my full gift of love vibrationally toward her in my physical in my physical um posture in my my whole energy is just my full gift of love I hope she doesn't ask me what she just said cuz I'm not even paying much attention to I'm not paying any attention to the details of this storm system blowing through here all I'm doing is letting her know that I can Encompass any storm you know I got my sales high and let's just let's let's let's ride and she just you'll just watch the storm passes so quickly when you can contain what she needs you to contain in that moment and the beautiful thing is you you you need it's not sophisticated at all for those of you be a little scared about when you get married like am I going to be sophisticated enough to deal with her emotions there's no sophistication it's called love and you give your full gift of love encompassing her storm and she just storm just blows by and she's like thank you for being my man and you're like I'm your man you know I wasn't actually even listening to anything you just said didn't even hear it don't say any of that part skip that part number yeah here comes another thing no but really it's it's it is the answer it is the answer so now we're going to take this even further and the further we're going to take you want to just keep going further what's good yeah you you don't need drugs guys you can just trip like this so let's take it a little further the the next stage is to realize that your soul this Soul this conscious self of yours is part of God it's part of this infinite nothingness being how do we know that well we know it because it's it has it takes up no space and time it's always been your think about it it's always been your conscious awareness yeah what are you aware of right now everyone say now what are you aware of right now now what were you aware of uh hour ago right well just saying keep saying now the now of an hour ago how about two years ago what were you aware of then at any given time if I ran into and I said what are you aware of right now what would you say now and whatever you were six years old what are you aware of now have you ever experienced anything but now never in your life have you ever it's it's almost a belief you have that there's something called time because you have not had one personal experience ever in your entire life of time never you have never experienced time in your life not once it's a beliefs you have it's actually termed in like personal growth books it's called I think uh you know who called of this who's that guy never qu stops quoting Jesus you Jews just keep want to like throw the book out of the window they um eart toi you know what he calls it calls it psychological time so he calls your experience of time sorry did I say the word experience because you can't experience time he calls your concept of time psychological time psychological time got that it's called psychological time because you never experienc it it's something that psychologically you know it you had a past and you know you're going to have a future you can learn from the past you can plan for the future but you have never experienced neither nor so the next step is well what is this Consciousness that we're all aware of does it show up on a brain scan no does it show up in an MRI no has ever a scientist in the history of the world found it no are they ever going to so you might say well maybe someday no the answer is they never will you know why they never will you know how I know they never will want to know how I'm sure they will never figure it out because we're 250 years after the Scientific Revolution began the Industrial Revolution the Scientific Revolution and anything that anything that I would say at this point in history in 2024 that they haven't yet found it's because they've made a lot of ground they've covered ground they've gotten somewhere tell me how far have they gotten with this one how far have they gotten in finding Consciousness in the physical world how far answer is nowhere in fact they don't even try anymore to the point where um uh gosh I never forget remember this guy's name who's the biggest atheist in London he's like a big outspoken guy no l Dawkins Dawkins yeah Richard Dawkins when he was asked what were his three wishes if he could have three wishes his three wishes were the three it turned out to be the three kasas that every atheist can't deal with the three conflicts that every atheist can't deal those were his three wishes a where did the world come from CU he knows there was before there was some there was nothing so where how did the world come out of spring out of nothing B how does Consciousness spring out into humans meaning how do we have Consciousness and the third one was you'd have to know more about biology but the third one was how did organic life form well it turns out that your Consciousness which is not physical is from this same being that consciously created the world so if you imagine the conscious being that created the world is like a giant bowl of of chicken soup okay Consciousness is a giant bowl of chicken soup and now imagine all of you sitting here where your head has like a little like you ever seen you ever eaten soup out of a bread like it's a big bread and they cut it and they Hollow it out and they pour the onion soup into it so yeah know you know we're switching to onion soup it's a giant thing of of onion soup and each one of our heads is like one of those little Breads and they cut it off Hollow it out and then God just takes God just took a ladle and just went like and you're inside and this is the amazing thing you want to hear something amazing so like if I look straight across to SP over there and at you at the camera I could look at you but I'm looking at SP at the same time but if I look straight across see now go to that conscious Place everyone snap on for ready let's all go there one two 3 and what you'll realize is that your conscious experience and mine are the same you get that meaning we each have stories about our life you have your story about your life my story about my life we have different bodies different pars different experiences but when you go to Pure Consciousness in our Pure conscious State there's no difference between us if our brains right now were switched nothing would be different we would be exactly the same so take a moment everyone snap at four take a deep breath exhale on four one two 3 and realize that Consciousness is common within all of us exactly the same it's all from the same onion suit and from here you can love anybody from this conscious place you can love anybody why because it's our common Humanity we all share this where we're all these conscious beings and and so there's no competition there and perhaps that's the words when God says love your neighbor as yourself God says the words an Hashem I am God which is a weird thing to say love your neighbor as yourself I am God but what is it really saying love your neighbor as yourself I am God I'm I put the soul in you that everyone consciously possesses I put it in you yeah the souls it's actually called specifically in cabala it's called the a portion of God above now of course it's doesn't have space or time so God can so it's an interesting even thing to think about that God slices part of him and puts it in you cuz because it doesn't have Parts doesn't have Parts which is why we feel it commonly right did you feel that that's why you and I have this common humanity is because it's it's even though it's sliced you got a little portion I got a little portion it's a a of godliness that seems different but is the same which is probably why you're able to mentally telepath stuff like you you have your own telephone just mentally right raise your hand if you ever thought about someone and then they called you yeah you you all kinds of crazy stuff happens like that all the time weird stuff that keeps coming up number some people have numbers come up all the time I had uncommon names for one week straight I had uncommon names coming up over and over again uncommon names so like this guy meaning for example I guy came to my I forget who this guy it was some guy in my shabas table or something I was like what's your name he says my name's Morad Morad that's what is that name like re Rebel does it mean like rebellious Morad he's like is my great-grandfather's name Morad what do you have a connection to the name Morad yes it's Turkish name okay so anyway the following day the following day I my bike breaks down in the middle of the mountains I'm nowhere near where my car was I mean I and and I was doing one of those pre-sunset rides where I get to my car right when you can't see the trail anymore but I'm at the very furthest point at the bottom of a Giant Mountain and like way way west of where my car was as well so I'm at the bottom and as far away as possible when the bike breaks down and there's no one around except like wild boar and like like a wild dogs and everything these gorgeous like giant wild dogs with these big golden faces all staring at me cuz I'm no longer moving so fast am I you know and and uh anyway but this one guy just like was off-roading and got stuck and it took him like a half hour to get his car back down and winds up right with where I am and I'm just like hello and he's like y take it wherever you need to go he brought me right back to my car and I'm like what's your name he like Morad this went on for a week straight every single day every single no no it was always it was always in pairs and it was always a strange name and so next time someone told me their weird name I was like okay I'm waiting to he then meet the next guy with your name and it happened for a week straight now here we go here goes the Deep stuff ready if it wasn't deep already we're going to go deeper now I know isn't that weird he knows a guy named Morad and and where it comes from comes from Turkey he just walked in told us and left I don't want the that I got that was like a silly one the whole name one was weird okay let's go let's go back to the light the light and everything in creation is coming from nothing everyone say y now look around the room everything you see around you is the Y where's it coming from perpetually at all times it's strobing into existence okay what iron by the word the we're talking about Ion with an olive in case you're confused watching this um ion there's also ion which is an i that's with an ion it's a different letter we're talking about an ion with an Alf okay which means a but we pronounce it ion when we're talking cabala so everything is coming into existence yes let the siren be a trigger to get you back to that conscious state where you can like pull in everything together right so now realize this everything you're looking at everything you're looking at every stay still cuz now you really want to get there this is going to be the final part everything you're looking at is the yes everything you're looking at is coming from the iron you're looking with your eyes which is y mean you're looking at the Y your body's yes because right this is y but what is the thing you're witnessing it with it's the iron so you yourself are yes you yourself are experiencing yes in your actual being close your eyes and realize that your conscious awareness of This Moment In This Moment In This Moment In This Moment is all the as but your Consciousness is the ion and you're now right now in the Nexus of yesion right here right now in the unfolding of find finite from infinite meaning the unfolding of the infinite into finite and back into the infinite strobing on and off whereas the only thing that's constant is you your own true Consciousness which is the ion within it all breathing quietly eyes closed exactly in the pocket of yes because the ion is you sit back there like like take a couch and put it a little bit behind your to the back of your head given that the front of your head is where your thoughts are about the Y and sit on that couch right behind the y in the iron the Eternal iron where you can sit and witness the as breae quietly so no one hears it you're on the cusp of the unfolding of reality mark this place so that you stay there throughout the day throughout your life be that space that someone can add their situ their issue that they're trying to figure out they could add it to your mind and you have plenty of room for Solutions and now before you open your eyes get ready to open them without focusing on anything in particular so that you can see all the yes now opening your eyes slowly and stay on that seat on that couch sitting a little behind it where you're not so involved with it you're seeing it what's interesting is that the Jews who possess this eternal light built buildings that when the Greeks saw them they were just like like like how could they not be jealous of the construction that came from the the Geniuses who remembers there was a story with a destruction when this this Rabbi was unconsolable he says why are you crying over that building and he said man I can't remember what he said he said something about what was the words yeah what did he say there was remember it was something about the wisd the wisdom he achieved just from just from the construction of the building itself meaning the the architecture itself of the Temple had caused so much oh you know what it was it was this it was like the king had what's that philosopher it was a Phil a philosopher came up to him oh was it Plato or something yeah it was like Plato or it was Aristotle I can't remember one of them but one of them who was alive then came to him and said why are you so unconsolable now he knew by the way that every problem he had ever given him to solve he was able to solve it like that mean all the most difficult philosophical problems in Greek philosophy were solved in a moment when when they brought it to the wise men of Jerusalem and so he asked him why are you so unconsolable he says because all the wisdom that I have came just from the actual architecture like the actual building itself was how I got this wisdom but as we said yesterday that we are the rock that the builders can't stand they just can't figure out where it fits they're busy building and we're busy with truth and we don't want to talk about truth just shut up and move your forklift and and get that bulldozzer going and let's get those rocks up onto the structure and like stop with all your truth and they just couldn't handle handle this because and Al part of this light is is the light of of morality of being good and and being good is is you know that's where the conscience is because if you're not good you have a conscience and conscience will plague you and and so just like someone hates their conscience because means they can't do whatever the hell they want so Society hates the Jews because we are the conscience of humanity we are the conscience I don't think you guys would like me very much if I followed you around a whole shabas and kept telling you can't do this you can't do that you can't do that hey don't touch that hey don't you you'd be ready to kill me at the end of the shs so that that's who the Jews are on this planet we're the the
