Shalom and welcome to practical
spirituality today I'd like to discuss
travel uh our sages tell us that it's
good to travel anytime you get a chance
did I say our sages I'm sorry Rabbi nman
says to travel anytime you get a chance
if someone offers you the chance to
travel I mean don't be irresponsible you
know like if you're if you have
appointments or a job you know don't
just jump in a plane or on a boat or in
a car to the north
the uh you can ask questions
sure oh you never heard that yeah I
don't know where he says it but now you
got something to go find out yeah so RAB
says travel the reason why is because um
because there's a certain amount of
divine there's a certain amount of uh
Divine
uh Providence Providence yeah Divine
Providence
siaya that hits you but the thing is if
you're living in Bermuda Triangle if you
live in the Bermuda Triangle which is
homewor sh homework sh or home sh work
home sh work home work home work home
home so then it doesn't leave a lot of
room you know besides maybe a flat tire
or a parking ticket or a or you know I
don't know the guy next to you spills
his coffee on your sitter I I mean it
doesn't leave a ton of of stuff however
when you take off off and leave Bermuda
Triangle and you head out into the
unknown so now it's just it's an open
field and God can start sending you all
kinds of really interesting things and
that's that's um that's like it's it's
playful to travel it's playful to go out
there and just see what happens um you
would think it's uh maybe something more
for single people to go out and just see
what happens you know just get on the
road and see what happens but you can
actually do it as a couple well not
every woman's got the got the nerves for
that but mine does so we we take off
with no plans we never know where we're
going to stay we've even flown to
countries uh we like got some tickets
and flew off to some country we don't
know where we're staying we don't know
anything so we the main thing we got to
do when we get there is just find
somewhere to stash our bags and it's
much better when you get to a place to
stash your bags and forget looking for
where to stay don't look for where to
stay go experience the town and as you
experience the town well likely you'll
get to know the locals and at the end of
the day the locals will say so where you
staying and you'll be like I don't know
and they'll be well why don't you stay
with us they like okay and next thing
you know you're staying in some House of
you know people from Florence Italy you
know with with handmade pasta you know
from their grandmother and and um you
know there's like a whole Whole New
World opens up for you and and not to
mention the fact that since you didn't
just go check into a hotel and do the
tourist thing you have now people to
visit the rest of your life in that town
because they're probably still going to
be there and you kind of make the world
your world uh kosher Travelers maybe
can't eat Grandma's pasta but uh you
still can hang out with people and meet
them and get to know the locals and and
you just let God be in charge of your
itinerary that's the idea now um but
today I actually want to talk about
spiritual travel where you don't even
have to leave your seat and there's
certain traveling that we do every day
and I think a lot of people aren't so
cognizant of that travel so I'd like to
share with you that that kind of
travel uh we're taught in in the cabalan
Jewish mysticism that there are uh five
worlds
there are five worlds and those worlds
go from uh this world
here physical world up to the world
that's called
yer um which is the world right on the
other side of this world and um and then
you've got a world called Berea above
that and then you've got a world
called no we did AIA
and then you got a world called atas and
then you got a world called
adamm and what are all these worlds all
these worlds are really literally how
nothing becomes something because all
the you know remember that in the whole
discussion between atheists and
Believers you've got the atheists have
the problem of what's the nothing before
the something that's not a problem for
us we we call the nothing God that
precedes the something but we have our
problem their problem is how did the
world come from from nothing they they
don't mind explaining how it evolved
from once it's something they don't mind
explaining that Evolution as Terence
McKenna said give us one miracle and
we'll explain the rest you know that's
science give us one Miracle we'll
explain the rest how something came from
nothing the and what's interesting is
it's just about the biggest miracle that
there could ever be meaning if they had
asked for some other Miracle maybe we'd
give it to them but don't for the
absolute biggest Miracle of all of of
something coming from nothing that's
like a little too big a miracle to be
asking for if you're a scientist you
know go for a small little miracle not
not like the biggest miracle that could
have ever been in all of
history so their problem is how did some
come another we also got a problem our
problem is is how did one become many
how did one become many something that's
ABS it can't be more than one because
it's nothing right if you multiply
Nothing by 30 what do you get nothing
you you multiply it by 30 get nothing
you divide it by 30 get nothing it's
nothing so nothing is absolutely one
nothing you know it's it's it doesn't
have Parts it's nothing you know like
when you close your eyes you see light
but when you cover it with your eyes you
see nothing and how many is there
one see most people think nothing is
zero nothing is not zero nothing is
one we're not talking about mathematical
nothing we're talking about nothing
nothing and whatever that no thing is it
can't have Parts because it ain't
nothing so why is that
long you can it's not a thing if you
have a thing then maybe it could have
another thing if you have a thing maybe
maybe they could split in half now you
have two things but when you have
nothing what happens when you split
nothing in half
what do you what do you get when you
split nothing in
half
nothing yeah we're not talking about
mathematical
one so mathematical one then nothing
would be zero but but this nothing is
far from zero in fact we're way more
zero than it's zero considering the fact
that we are a projection of it it well
if you're the projection then the
projector is the real and the projection
is the projected it's you know it's not
called creation for nothing we're being
created you ever thought about that word
creation it it implies already it's
being
created which means there's a Creator
but the created is the projection of the
Creator you see somebody's making
something up here either God's making us
up or we're making God up and understand
the atheists believe we're making God
up and we believe God's making us
up someone's making something
up I like that God's making us up first
of all I mean it just has some fringe
benefits like for example you don't have
to be depressed nihilistic and blow up
anyone's school so that's pretty good
who wants to blow up schools and cause
Carnage and wreckage and pain and
suffering which is you know the way
people you know kind of can get
nihilistic with it you know most people
don't blow up schools but they blow
themselves up you know with tattoos and
body piercings and you know they
anything self-destructive they can
possibly do maybe they'll go for a sex
change right before they th hurl
themselves off the edge of a building
and the U but they they at least try to
destroy themselves but the people with
the dark Triad the dark diad will they
they they're going to take the whole
ship down with them you know those
personality traits you can Google those
the um anyway point being is that it's
got fringe benefits and I think maybe
the best Fringe benefit of all of saying
that God makes us up is you have a
meaningful life because once you say we
make God up there's any meaning you make
you make any meaning that you make you
make but then the guy is making his me
the guy next him making his
me after a while you realize it's
totally arbitrary everyone's making up
their own meeing which means there's no
meaning and then you have a meaningless
life because well if you have a low IQ
so you just make meaning out of the fact
that your job in the factor is to put a
bolt on the end of a screw and send it
to the next guy so if you're low IQ
that's all good but for a Jew who
automatically has a an entire index
Point IQ higher than the average
Gentile um
the you making your own meaning is
enough to Ram your head in a wall
because you realize very quickly how
meaningless that is that it's totally
arbitrary it's not that meaningful and
you get depressed rather quickly which
is why Jews have the 3DS 3DS are
depressed distracted and
devoted depressed sorry distracted
depressed and devoted distracted
depressed so there's Jews who are able
to distract their high IQ with meaning
distract the fact that life's
meaningless with making meaning out of I
don't know nuclear power that was
probably something to do with the Jew
the double helix I imagine the DNA
probably had something to do with the
Jews Discovery um uh cell phones I think
that was a Jew by the way I don't know
if nuclear
power or uh the other one I said had to
do with a Jew but I know that cell
phones did and uh you know you distract
yourself win a couple Noel prizes and
then you shoot yourself in the head you
know why because how much can you
distract yourself after a while you
start to realize I'm just distracting
myself and you get depressed because the
world's meaningless and now you're
living this depressed state of
meaninglessness and even your the things
I myself remember dragging my feet
across the beach to Surf perfect
waves meaning my whole life when the
waves are that perfect I mean you're
crossing the beach sometimes a Long
Beach sometimes you're Crossing that
beach and you're looking at perfect like
steamy waves out there like spray coming
off off the the lip of the wave and
perfect we are running so fast like
forget stretching like we're not
stretching we are putting our leashes on
our legs and we are paddling out as fast
as we can we're screaming the whole time
I remember getting to a point after 12
years of Surfing six to8 hours a day I
remember getting the point that I was
dragging myself across the beach didn't
stop serving still went out there my
body just goes naturally to serve I
can't stop it but I just couldn't get
myself to even smile about it because it
wasn't working anymore it just wasn't
working anymore and thank God I found my
way to Jerusalem that year meaning
within that year almost towards the end
of that year I next thing I knew I was
in
Jerusalem and when I discovered there
was two things I discovered that just
were the greatest things I ever
discovered one life's not meaningless
there's actually a Creator boom like
like amazing and made surfing a hell of
a lot more fun by the way because guess
who's sending the waves you know and I I
just felt such gratitude out there I
never felt gratitude surfing you know I
had some amazing places I surfed what a
shame I thought there was no God because
there were places that oh my gosh if I
could even if I can even describe them
to you guys are just be like can't
believe such a place exists on Earth
talking about like Indo iian you know
little Islands a boat drops us off comes
back a few hours later you know it's
unbelievable water that you you see the
fish swimming under you you know and the
bright blue aqua blue barrels were just
sitting inside the tubes of of 20 foot
waves and we're riding a quarter mile on
that one wave coming out of the tube and
then roller coastering up and down all
the way till you get to the jungle and
then just padle back out and do it again
and I mean just incredible things and
sadly I was living a meaningless
existence at the time would have been
cool to know there was God but um what I
want to say why am I talking about all
the surfing so there was
some something was going to say about
about the
the the surfing the meaning the oh was
the one amazing thing was finding out
there was God but the other thing that
was so awesome that you guys could never
Maybe you can understand I think maybe
you and you can understand I don't know
who could understand this but something
that was so
awesome was finding out that there are
rules that say you cannot do that
finding out that you cannot do that
which might be as much as lighting a
match on the shabas Sabbath or eating
certain foods or or um you know anything
having to do with uh with sexual
licentiousness to find out that you
can't do that was
like amazing like thank you letting me
know that there's actually an area
that's
safe there's an area that's safe in this
world because if you're raised with no
Edge if you're raised with no borders
the way I was raised atheists with no
rules so you never know where the
boogeyman is you know you don't know
where the danger is part of why I was
surfing bigger and bigger and bigger
waves was I was looking for the edge you
know someone showed me the edge and I
just couldn't find it because apparently
God was keeping me alive for some other
purpose other than just being another
guy sipping up the oxygen of this planet
he had other plans for me apparently so
he kept me alive and very very hairy
situations I mean car crashed I raced
cars for seven years and it was like
when I was going through these car
crashes that you know what it takes to
go from 70 miles hour to zero you know
banging off stuff just ricocheting off
things takes some time you know and I
remember just slow motion watching it
happen just KN like somehow being kept
here but I so wanted to know where the
edge was you guys don't realize you're
like probably jealous of secular people
that have no that there no rules like
wouldn't I love to have no rules I'll
tell you
what it's very
unsafe it's very unsafe and by the way I
I had no idea I thought when I was
arguing with the rabbis when I got I
thought I was fighting for my lifestyle
I wasn't going for no I didn't realize
the rules were good I was that was like
the furthest thing from my mind the
opposite it was like I thought rules
were like unamerican and I was like the
most American kid you ever met you I
wasn't excited about the rules it was
only later when I realized oh my gosh
there's a God and I got got a bunch of
rules to keep and I'm going to start
keeping them and I kept my first shavas
that I finally relaxed and said h mean
if all those are the rules and they're
god-given rules that means I'm safe
right here and wherever those rules
are that's it's letting you know like
don't go there don't go there and if you
have where not to go that means you have
where to go by having not where not to
go what makes the car go fast okay what
makes the car go fast all right which
pedal makes the car go
fast which one is that in with the
G which pedal don't give us fancy words
accelerator gas the gas pedal right is
that the is that the pedal makes cargo
fast wrong it's the
brakes no one's touching that gas pedal
if the brakes aren't
working it's the brakes that give the
car the ability ility to go
fast it's in the restrictions that
marriage is
Holy it's in the restrictions that
chabas is
awesome a place for man to to
contemplate something most men won't
do forced contemplation once a
week it's the breaks that make you go
fast
and and I so those were the two big
things that transformed my life was
finding out there actually is meaning in
this world there's a purpose we're here
for a reason and the other was that
there's a safe place to be as long as
you could tell me where not to be I know
where I can be and I've noticed before I
could be anywhere I was going I was
going everywhere and uh unsafe unsafe
going everywhere couldn't really create
much with that and everyone knows you
know there buildings in Jerusalem you
know the the building they're building
everywhere in Israel at all times you
know the national bird in Israel is the
crane because there's absolutely cranes
and everywhere you can look you'll see a
crane except out this
window that's because there's a building
right across from us but you would see
cranes if it wasn't that building the
the
um believe me those building those
Builders have a lot of compliance rules
a lot of compliance rules and I
personally would not want to be on the
20th floor of a
building where the contractor was
breaking the rules you understand and
and and flights a lot of rules on those
flights you know line of rules for some
reason there's a lot of plane crashes
like I feel like we keep hearing about
plane crashes wasn't a couple weeks ago
a couple plane crashes been like three
in the last week there were two in the
last week there's one there's another
one with
the there were two just now and then
there was three like three weeks
ago what was that
one all right I don't know what's going
on
anyway I'm sure it has something to do
with Dei you know just ask Trump you
know no matter what goes wrong I think
for the next four years
it will be Dei at fault
so Dei I have no idea what it stands for
but it's something to do with how you
have to you have to hire you have to
hire a black lesbian to be the mayor of
Los Angeles or
something and then when the firemen are
like there's no water in the hydrants
you find a white lesbian leading the
fire the chief the fire chief is a white
lesbian
I mean it's called fireman you know not
firew woman you know who ever heard of a
firew woman and the chief is a is a is a
gay firew woman the helicopter pilot
apparently is a transom no
no are you kidding are you just making
that
up did you hear that you knew this yeah
no wonder Trump's freaking
out and the thing was 500 feet higher
than it was supposed to
be you
know maybe she was also High you know
she was high 500 feet
high she was for sure
High 500 feet
high you're freaking me out okay let's
get back to our class I can't believe
this class now needs to be edited by the
way if you're a lesbian or black I have
nothing against black
lesbians or either of them white Les BL
yeah do your thing you
know it's like a it's a one generation
decision we're not going to be dealing
with we will not be dealing with the
ramifications of this generation's gay
people it's a one generation uh thing
happening is beautiful's very beautiful
hey I'm named after Martin Luther King
died 3 days before I was born I'm the
only cidic Rabbi named after a a black
southern baptist
Minister
yeah so so the deal is like this is that
someone's making something up either
God's making us up or we're making God
up and I personally think that aam's
Razer you guys know aum's raiser alam's
razor philosophy Greek philosophy I
don't know who aam was but his razor cut
sharp and and the aam's Razer is that
the simplest explanation is usually the
right one it's a philosophical move you
know it's like it's like the 13 ways of
of uh you know you know re's 13 ways of
understanding the tment so Greeks have
their own system and one of them is
called akum razor which is the simplest
explanation is usually the best and now
I'm seeing Trump going for the simplest
turned out to be the best so the um
anyway aam's razor
is cancel out the ra so so regarding
akum Razer regarding the simplest
explanation is that the world's being
created by God is a simpler explanation
than nothing making
something meaning saying the world came
at you're basically saying the World
created itself you know which is
ridiculous no one's ever going to
believe the world made it so
but and and you guys know that all the
big universities have these physics
department uh sorry theoretical physics
departments that spend their whole day I
guess smoking cannabis and staring at
their belly
buttons discussing what could have
possibly made this place because you
can't say nothing made
it unless you say it's God God would be
the aum's razor that would be the simple
explanation but the problem is if it's
God
suddenly you have you have to deal with
the guilt of what you might have done
with your genitalia last
weekend whereas if we could just say
it's nothing meaning meaning sorry
nothing they can't say it's nothing but
if we can say we just haven't discovered
it yet which is the famous you know sign
we just haven't gotten there yet by the
way whenever someone says I haven't
gotten there yet in science you know
like like cancer resarch we haven't
gotten there yet you're allowed to say
that if you've made progress you're
allowed to say we haven't gotten there
yet if there's been some progress tell
me how much progress have they made in
figuring out what the nothing is that
made the something how much progress
have all the theoretical physicists with
our taxpaying dollar with our tax money
how much progress I'm asking you like if
full progress means they discovered it
and this is zero like how far long are
they at this point probably think they
made some progress
no they haven't um I've gotten a chance
to meet many of them I even called them
my friends because they're super cool
these are all like dead heads you know
like Grateful Dead they're they're
really cool guys they got to the to
become a theoretical physicist you're a
bro you probably play guitar okay and
you're crazy genius and mean all the
best conversation you could ever have is
with theoretical physic I suggest
meeting one by the way they're a lot of
fun and I got to speak to mit's uh
graduate physics department and
discussed this with them and they they
all agreed that they've gotten
absolutely nowhere but they're enjoying
the grants and they're enjoying and they
enjoy the medical marijuana that they
smoke while staring at their belly
buttons thinking about what could have
possibly made this place other than God
and I called them as many of you might
have heard on my other podcasts and
stuff but I called them the high Priests
of the secular world you know why
because in you see in Christianity
nobody knows what's going on probably
including the priest but but they at
least know there's a priest and he
obviously knows what's going on because
he's the priest right he's the guy with
the fancy outfit and the incense so he I
don't know what's going on but he knows
what's going on and Jesus died for our
sins and we're all good but in the
secular world if you want to live a
secular lifestyle you have to know
somebody's up there who knows what
they're doing who's that the theoretical
physicists we pay them millions of
dollars in every you know every big
university gets grants of millions of
dollars for someone to spend his time
figuring it out so we're like saying you
guys go figure it out while we play
around I won't fill in the blank but
we'll play around and do whatever the
hell we want while you guys figure out
what made this place you know as long as
someone's making sure it's not God do
job it's a dope job and it's
forever you make zero Prof progress and
and you you have a permanent job you
know it's like the best job and they'll
never get rid of your department because
the whole entire Society is basically
anchoring their lifestyle on you're
figuring out what other than God might
have made this
place well they got all the way to Theos
on particle right but they call the God
particle first of all the god molecule
is is is called DMT
and people often uh make that mistake
the you see the god molecule is is
DMT partic yeah the the BOS bosam Hicks
Hicks bosam machine with this was like I
don't even know how many millions of
dollars but they created a machine bil
billions billions
large yeah what's it called again say
large collider large hadrin collider the
large hadrin collider and what they did
was spend all this money to somehow make
something from nothing and when they
were creating it it was on the front
page of the paper and I was a kid at the
time growing up and saw this like oh wow
they're finally gonna because all
they've given up on the fact that
they're not going to figure out what
made this place but what if we can make
something from nothing because if we can
make something from nothing that's what
it's for to make something from nothing
if we can make something from nothing
then there's hope for our uh for our
department you know for our uh whatever
you call that field field for our field
thank you so there's hope for our field
which is ridiculous to spend all that
money to make something from nothing so
there would be hope for your
field then when they finally made the
whole machine they sent out news there
was actually you can probably Google it
front page papers that they created
something from
nothing but then if you look in the back
back back of the newspapers months later
they failed at creating some for nothing
did you know they
failed that
want yeah well go check it out now go
check it out they they didn't really
create something from nothing it's not
about creating something from nothing
it's about seeing how this particle
permeated through all of existence
including Dark Matter including the
nothingness so it has oh am I getting
this all wrong I thought it was the
whole Hicks bosen thing was to get
something from nothing no it's am I
thinking of something else it's like the
field of existence it's like what all
matter goes
through so and that's what they call the
god
part Quantum level it's like what
permeates absolutely everything
including nothing including Dark Matter
including Dark
Matter so it's a prog good Hicks BOS I
thought hick supposed them was
anti-god I'm thinking of something else
does anyone know what I'm talking about
they created a machine to try to make
something from nothing that's the same
same they pretty much smash two protons
together real
fast and or two electron something
something SM two protons They smash
together um and they uh like
specifically get it to split apart into
its subatomic particles so you get a
bunch of like weird differently
charged quarks his b higs bans and
pretty much what happens they figured
out that not only like they can there's
some weird stuff that happens with it
like if you like if they're like the
scientists realized there's an article
about it scientist realized that just
hold this and say the scientist realized
all right so they had a really weird
thing the scientists realized that they
held
like so if they held like a thought
process of like it' be really cool if we
could see a higs B on that goes off at
this direction and we can record it then
what would happen um we'd be able to
figure out this and do this equation and
like in a sequence of tests they
realized that they had actually like
they would predetermine the next tests
outcome so statistically stat like yeah
so like so thought processes actually
have an effect on the physical world is
what they figured out from
that that thought processes yeah that
they by like like like affirmations like
we do affirmations and prayers and
things like that they've been finding
this out with DNA lately yeah the latest
DNA research seems to come to thought
they also uh that's and then they this
this experiment like the first
recollection of the whole affirmation
started with the monks and the freezing
of the water they had monks prey over
water and they they would freeze it and
the actual like sub the under a
microscope the particles would form like
little ice crystals if they did like
happy prayers and they'd have like a mon
sit there and like lose his mind while
meditating like just be like he's like
they're like spread the emotion of anger
and just think anger and they find it
and it wouldn't make a proper Crystal it
would be deformed on the inside whoa so
they've been like Health ramifications
yeah so there's other people that think
that the reason why we feel a pain in
our chest when we are like angry or
upset or sad is because that's where the
biggest pool of water is is in your
heart at one given point in time and so
when you feel a negative emotion you're
adjusting all the water molecules in
your chest
interesting well as as a surfer I
definitely get that water is very
responsive to
vibration right because that's we're W
we're riding the waves that were that
the ocean was created creating um also
you'll notice when you go underwater you
can hear sounds like in our mikah if you
go in the cold pool I don't know if you
go in the PO you go in the so you can
hear the you can hear the motors in the
uh turning the filters in the warm and
hot but you're you shouldn't be able to
hear them they're they're quite quiet
and you're in a different pool
altogether but because all the pools are
connected to the rainwater storage
facility it the W the vibrations are
just carrying it all the way through
into the cold pool how many years
already are they doing figuring out what
the world
is like the the new new how long they
doing it Ein since Einstein 40s
1940s the
new Greeks
right I don't know how long but the uh
I'm not an historian and we just found
out I'm not much of a physicist as
well not great at physics but um anyway
listen in the um what I wanted to share
with you guys is
travel the worlds these five worlds are
how one becomes many as I said before
the problem for the atheists is how the
world comes from nothing the with us the
problem is how does one become
many because the only way we could be in
this world is we have to have many there
has to be Multiplicity
so how does that one become
many and the answer how one becomes many
is uh is that a light called the Orin a
primordial light that's not a physical
light but it's a light nonetheless
shines
into what's called a Halal which is a
space that's not even a space because
there is no space because there's
nothing but it shines into a space
called the Halal not literal and in in
that kalal as it
irradiates that Halal so there's
contractions that cause that light to
become uh contracted so that it's not
going to blow everything into blow
everything out of existence you
understand that anything God makes he is
he's got a serious problem how does one
become many whatever he makes he is how
can God make something that's not him
and he's and he's also we're saying he's
infinite which means he can't have an he
can't stop and something else
starts right he can't stop and something
else starts second you say that well he
has an edge he's no longer infinite he's
long certainly not well now he's the
number one instead of that would be the
goesa definition the Gentiles definition
is the belief in one God there's one of
him he ends and we
begin but Judaism nowhere in the Torah
doesn't say there's one God the Torah
always says that God is one he's an
indiv IIs indivisible
Oneness absolute Oneness
undifferentiated
Oneness it's not that there's one of
them it happens to be there's one of
them because he's all there is of course
there's one of them but he is
one and so in order to create
other he has to have this infinite light
that he radiates the Halal with the
space with which is not again a literal
space you're not allowed to think about
God creating a space outside of him
because that's already you understand
it's blasphemy to have the thought that
God IR irradiates he he brings light
into a space having an idea of a space
is already blasphemy and that's what the
balatan would was a very critical of
some of his opposers um who took the
this whole discussion
literally and um anyway that's why he's
the M yeah yeah that's the word mome the
one of the names of God is is space
itself which is really cool and guess
what our world how do you say world in
Hebrew and what's the root of the
word and what's the word for
hidden n and what's the root of the word
hidden
L men the same exact word for world is
the same exact word for hidden why
because the only way there could be a
world is if God's hiding himself so to
speak filtering out his light enough so
that there can be an actual world but
how cool is that and while the atheists
are all freaked out about figuring out
the problem how there can be a world
Judaism just in the one word world
answers the question think how simple
that is like leave it that that's hakum
raising that's M you understand like the
the the whole issue they're trying to
figure out what made this place when
Hebrew the word for world is the word
for hidden why because he can only have
a world if he hides himself in that
world and it turns out that you can
travel inside those worlds you can
actually travel the worlds and not only
can you but you are right now traveling
those worlds because you have five
levels of your soul just like there's
five worlds and each level of your soul
is in one of those worlds right now a
good reason to be careful down here
because you see you're thinking you know
you're walking down the street you know
you're going to look at what you want to
look at you know free will you know do
what you're going to do and you know you
think you're like somehow independent in
some way from those other worlds and
then Judaism is like a religion you know
do I want to like keep my eyes down do I
want want to you know maybe refrain from
doing the wrong things you know like
it's like Judaism sadly for so many
people is a
religion but actually you're dragging
your soul through all these
places you're dragging your soul and
your Soul's Soul's got to deal with it
it sometimes sends messages like for
example to the American Jews the soul
did you know the soul sent a message to
all the New Yorkers the whole East Coast
world
The Souls of the East Coast World sent a
message did you ever hear about this
message they were all sent a message
because you can imagine they're living
out inside of is once you're outside of
Israel all you think about really is
money you know it's just about money did
you know that that it says that the
reason the kohanim don't do their you
know nanu nanu they don't do the konic
blessing in outside of Israel they only
do it in Israel except Persians do it
outside of Israel which is totally
crazy considering they think the most
about money no offense if you're Persian
but Persians do it every day uh outside
of Israel uh only
on
like so the reason why it says that
there's no beim inard is because because
the Cohen instead of thinking about the
blessing we'll be thinking about money
that's what it'll be thinking about
money which is like like what you know
like so maybe we they shouldn't pray
either you know if when they're finally
blessing the people like that's what
they're thinking about they're thinking
about money so because they'll be
thinking about money whereas the kohanim
and Israel are actually thinking about
the blessing and not the money so they
Bless the people every day
here and and apparently shabas isn't
enough out there they need like they
need to be one of the big holidays to so
maybe the Jews in Persia maybe they
still
who the Jews in Persia yeah they do the
blessing every day yeah they're
like maybe so anyway what I want to what
I want to say about all this is that how
how do we get to why are we talking
about
money oh the the Jews in the east coast
got a message from their soul you know
what it said amazing it said
stop washing on bread during the
week yeah stop washing on bread during
the week which means you're kind of
stuck if you like bagels and pizza and
all every other sandwiches you know what
are you going to do yeah so they figured
out that if you have a certain amount of
juice to sweeten the
dough then you don't have to
wash and you don't make hamotzi you just
make mazus
and you um have the short blessing
afterwards I'll him so you're off the
hook and why did their souls say this
the reason their souls said this was
because one of the holiest things in all
of Judaism is something called
Bas the blessing after a meal it's
pretty long too it's a whole kind of
prayer service it's got five parts four
three parts are Torah law one part's
Rabin law and then the fifth part is is
just pray meaning bless asking God for
blessing andu where our prosperity comes
from our prosperity isn't that where
comes from uh from there I think it does
have a big impact on pessa wouldn't they
want to say well I think the problem is
you can have the opposite happen if
you're not
concentrating so meaning the opposite of
of livelihood could happen if you're
saying it
without yeah so guess what I was once
learning with my Reby a great great
cabalist is a very secret man and I was
learning with him we were going we had a
project we were going to go through the
entire the entire Jewish prayer book
from
modani all the way through through
through uh you know
through Hollow
meaning through roses the whole
sitter and it took us just to get
through sh took us two years and we were
spending several hours a week on this it
took us two years to get done so the
whole kabur is a kabur of men like a
group of men and and we were like when
we got done with Shak we were like whoa
that was a trip and it's all about
travel by the way Shak is all about
travel so you got coronus say AIA
Su Zim's y the saying of the blessings
in the Shar are Berea the um
shus I was going to give a share on this
today but I just we got sidetracked a
little bit it was we you're like who's
we Rabbi that was you that got
sidetracked and the um anyway but you'll
notice that kades is right
it's the elevator that takes you from a
of coronus up to another one up to
Berea and then you there's not another
Kadesh because then you just kiss off
into I'll explain that another day so
and then you come back down the other
way
witha and you're supposed to have that
in mind by the way that you're going up
on your way to Shon and then all the lay
are coming down you hear the word hidden
in
world it's a triple World thing we're
saying whatever we'll get into that
another day
so when we got to what's after Shak and
a
sitter yeah the blessing of bless
blessing after a bread meal so we're
were all like this we're all like oh man
thank God we got a little break we'll
just do that probably take us two three
weeks to get through that and then we'll
get back then we'll start
Min guess what two years later we're
still doing beer cuss and Mand we're
still doing the blessing after meal two
years later our minds have been
blown blown we're different people but
after these two years we we our lives
have been transformed by what we had
been learning in the cabala it's all
cabala we're learning cabala behind the
prayer book and when we finished beer it
was two years
later at which point the rebi said to us
do you know why they've added apple
juice to all the Breads in America so
people don't have to wash except for on
chabas you know why he says because
their souls couldn't take it anymore
their souls couldn't take another
benching without
concentration they just couldn't take it
anymore and so the souls sent a message
to this world and said please just
change the ingredients of your
bread so that you can stop doing this
because it hurts too much hurts hurts
too
much uh West Coast does this too but uh
it's a little different lifestyle in the
west coast so I have a feeling people
probably wash in La during the week as
well um and obviously we're not talking
about every east coast of this place
people on the East Coast who wash for
bread meals during the week plenty but
the souls couldn't take it anymore isn't
that
interesting spim didn't take it
on their is
what really interesting when
way okay guys um so please I hope you
enjoyed this uh click all the things you
should be clicking click away okay and
Shalom and blessings and um let's let's
do some good uh Soul hygiene spiritual
hygiene understanding that you're
dragging your soul everywhere you go
everything you think say and do those
are the three garments of the Soul
thought speech and action take care of
yourself
