Shalom welcome to practical spirituality

N we are here to transform our lives in
the in the Moment by moment
experience you have
to be in a process of
transformation happening basically at
all times if you want to experience life
see a lot of people think that they can
just push off transforming their lives
like I don't mean push it off a lot

process but what I'd like to share with
you is that you have to be transforming
your life

life constantly I can guarantee you that

[Music]
I
close my
eyes only for moment and the moment's
gone oh
my
dreams crumble to the ground though I
refuse to
see Dust in the
Wind all we are is Dust in the
Wind Same Old
Song nothing last forever but the Earth
and
Sky it slips oh
way and all your money won't another
minute by
high Dust in the
Wind all we are is Dust in the
Wind Dust in the
Wind everything is Dust in the Wind
[Music]
[Applause]
and the you're probably the only one who
knows that song and and
uh what I want to share with
y'all what I want to share with you all
is that life is your body is covered
with nerve endings those were your those
were your audio nerves these are your
optic nerves your whole your whole your
your body's covered you know we get in
that cold water in the mik over there it
just it's just like wow it's like every
nerve is like and I I try to do extra
breathing as it comes up my spine you
know as I'm getting in and just like
oxygenate my blood and to experience it
fully and that's one of the reasons why
people love
swimming what is about swimming that to
me it's like to me it's like I go to a
public swimming pool you know there's
more meat than soup in there there
and what is the pleasure I I grew up
with a swimming pool in West LA you know
with the tennis court in the swimming
pool I mean we had a room just dedicated
to pool you know and we had a room just
for pingpong we had a
room about five times bigger than this
room which was dedicated to music um
obviously most of it was audience but
you know grand piano and all the
amplifiers full Bandstand drums
everything and the the
um but I just can't understand it but
all these people they want to have their
nerve endings have direct contact with
water because they want to experience
life everyone to snap on four one two
three take a
breath and experience your life this is
life man and it's coming at you it's
raw it's raw but here's the thing is
that a lot of people are scared of Life
a lot of people are scared of life a lot
of people it just they they can't find
the pause button you know how did I
pause my father you ever notice every
time you speak to your father he
downloads a little bit of his worldview
you know he has to give a little of his
ASA as if you have no idea what your dad
believes you know it's like it's like
how is it possible you didn't figure out
in like your first 12 years of your life
everything he believes did tell me did
you yeah of course does he
stop no he won't stop downloading
everything he wants you to know and and
what happens is the second that happen
I'm just going to use Dad's as an
example the second your father or your
mother if you're a woman watching this
but the second your father or your
mother starts downloading their you know
broken record of what they believe tell
me do you feel like you're 26 you feel
like you're six which
one couldn't hear that what' you say
said I feel like I have all them I feel
like I have every age and like sometimes
I'm one of them sometimes okay but do
you understand what I'm saying you guys
know what the answer is when when your
father's break you know downloading what
he believes about this world that he
thinks you should know even though you
already know this stuff is you feel like
you're six now anyone want to feel like
they're
six any want to feel like they're six
how long you spend on the phone with
someone who makes you feel like you're
six quickly as possible you get off the
phone get back to safety I mean I think
probably most therapists if not all
therapists probably good 70% of their
money is just
parents what do you mean what's parents
meaning people dealing with the lack of
safety they feel when they're in a
relationship with their parent when they
have to deal with their parents 7%
probably 70% I I know I went to therapy
as a guy I'm from California your
therapist was like you know it just
comes with the program you know and I
would say a lot of the discussions were
about my father you know and and I know
my daughters go you know they've been to
therapy there was a lot of discussion
about my
wife now I have not asked my sons
about I don't think my sons go to
therapy I think they actually go out to
the mountains
and just you know you know trip with God
and deal deal with uh deal with yeah
they're they're doing their therapy out
in nature I think but the uh but I've I
imagine I've come up you know I'm not a
simple father that's for
sure if you were here in earlier classes
you know what I'm talking about remember
the mountain bike crashes for the little
guy you know the kid after he falls down
the entire Mountain I'm like now get
back up there and try it again cuz
you're not going to leave the mountain
until you can descend that that
trail and he realizes he's stuck and
he's going to have to go back it's not
easy to be my son I've lightened up a
bit on my younger younger boys a little
not in the mountain it's just
other other things
so you know I just as a side point my my
um I was asking ask my wife if I should
do something to for my daughter and she
said only if you want her to do that for
your
grandchildren I was like I'll be back in
an
hour and I was raised with you guys know
what helicopter parenting is that's how
people raise kids today where they're
like keeping an eye on them at all times
they're just hovering over the kid at
all times it's called helicopter
parenting it's a great way to ruin a
child it works pretty good for you no I
had telescopic parenting I think that's
him over there somewhere what you became
yeah with telescopic parenting I had
absolutely zero supervision Zero from a
very very very young age thank God the
closest pedophile lived about 11 zip
codes away you know I grew up where all
the Mansions were in La you know I'm
only here from a miracle of a bankruptcy
that my father's business went bankrupt
and before he could sell the Mansion I
wound up on a free trip to as
and you know the rest is history but it
was it was a miracle that bankruptcy was
a miracle all my brothers are became
observed my parents became observant
like the whole became observant they
became from from the miracle of this
bankruptcy and then he sold his house
and he just bought another house and
lives off the money of that house ever
since
yeah so
um so what I want to share is that life
is about experience but what gets in the
way of experience what gets in the way I
already gave it away but I'm going to
see if any of you can pick it out just
from a test what do you think gets in
the way of experience because we're
talking about experience let's do it
again snap on four ready everyone snap
one two
three what gets in the way of that what
gets in the way of hearing that guitar
what gets in the way of okay someone
pointed their head the mind yeah what
what else the commentary of the Mind
commentary of the Mind good we spoke
about that a bit but let's go deeper
now okay yeah it's definitely emotional
something emotional what past
experiences past experiences what kind
of past experience the good
ones probably the traumatic ones the
little te's okay little teas you should
know little te's little te's is the
worst trauma in the world big te's is
like rape and murder and you know that's
the big te's you'd say that's the worst
trauma except what those people usually
get help the little te
are that embarrassed in class and didn't
couldn't really read well and and you
know tough shabas tables and and tati
keeps forgetting him in shw and you know
and he's and he's walking in the store
with his mother and he pulls on her
skirt only to realize it's someone
else you
know those little te's are like where
most are the trauma is of this planet
you know the big teas is you know that's
obviously heavy dut Dy stuff that needs
proper therapy but the little te's
what's the therapy for the little te's
you know you're going to go to a
therapist for having been embarrassed in
class you know you're going to go to
you're going to go to a therapist
because someone walked in on you when
you in the bathroom as a
kid therapist just be like H I don't
know about that but maybe you got
something a little heavier than that you
know so but those little T's add up boy
do they add up and let me explain
something listen carefully this is gonna
be crazy what I'm about to say
but let's just call that area to your
left as the past and let's call this
area to your right as that your
right this is your left
right
yeah yeah oh my gosh that's a
future okay um let's call this area to
your left the past okay and the area to
your right is your future got it
now everything that ever happened to you
as a kid all the little
te's everything that ever happened
including stuff that's ongoing like your
father that's what the hint was that we
spoke notice I segue automatically to
fathers because fathers universally
bring up stuff for sons and we're all a
bunch of men in here so it's like I went
to that example but those little teas
including father today downloading his
ashfa making you feel like you're six
years old
all of those things in the
past are being
shot like you take you're taking your
pooper scooper that's what rich people
walk dogs with you're taking your pooper
scooper digging it into the past all the
little te's of your past all the little
traumas of the past and you're going
like
this and flinging
it onto into the future so that you can
now
navigate in your life to
somehow make sure that none of that
stuff from back there ever happens again
you got what I'm talking about now are
you experiencing life when
you're I'll say it again you've been
taking your pooper scooper digging it
into all the past little tees all those
past traumas which again they're little
things they're nothing you don't
remember them oh one of the ways we know
they're little is you probably don't
remember 90% of them but they're painful
things they were painful at the time
block them out you don't remember well
you don't remember them they weren't
that painful but they're painful enough
they were there and they are there and
then what you did was you dig your
shovel in the past and you fling all
that trauma into the future why so that
you can now
navigate navigate a Kish you're going to
a Kish got to navigate there people
there could be you could be insulted you
could be you could be inferior to the
guy you're sitting next
to or you're now heading into base M or
now you got a Gamora open or something
and it reminds you of all the times
where you just had so much trouble
learning you understand so so like
you're you're not experiencing the
Gamora you're experiencing all the past
learning issues including possible abuse
of power by rebies growing up that you I
don't know if you ever got smacked or or
got embarrassed publicly or I don't know
what happened to you but that's all on
your damura while you're sitting and
learning into the
future and dealing with
money and dealing with health I know
there's probably a few of you in here
that know that you should be in better
shape I know there's a few of you that
know you should be eating better I know
there's some of you that know that
there's a certain amount of sleep you
need but you're not getting it
and so what's happening is you got the
past wrapped up in the future and now
you're navigating the future which is
coming into this moment like literally
right here right now coming into the
present right
here but it's so raw where's the pause
button how do you pause experience how
do you pause it and the answer is you
pause it by coding it you want to code
it with a coding by coding it with
everything that ever happened you in the
past so that you can somehow watch out
for red flags so that you can somehow
navigate it so some poor fools paying
$50,000 for this
wedding and there's 500 people at the
wedding trying to survive the
wedding when's the last time you heard
the guitarist for 700 bucks there he is
ripping some solo in my music world he's
considered like someone deeply respected
but you're just someone at a
wedding you didn't even see you didn't
see there was a good hard player you
know it's a band band B which is what
you did you just because that's what the
brain does because when the brain is
trying to survive the people at the
wedding that the the band which is made
up of its members who are each at the
top of their game these guys have
dedicated their lives to their
instruments and you're not even first of
all you didn't even know he's there you
didn't even know that guitar player is
there and you didn't hear a noty played
and here's this guy's this guy's ripping
solos do you need to go you okay you
need to go this guy's ripping
solos should I rip a
solo so this guy's I get your action's
too high for ripping SES you just have
to you just have to shave down this uh
shave this thing down a little or that
one or turn the rod but you got to bring
the strings closer to the
neck yeah let me just finish the
sentence up this guy's ripping solos and
no one hears
it because because you can't experience
life unless you are
clean nikus you got to be
clean you understand do you guys getting
this meaning you got to put the past
where it belongs where do the past
belong everyone say in the past where's
the past belong say it louder where's
the past
belong you have to put the past where it
belongs the past belongs in the past and
then once the past is in the past what's
in the future everyone say future
nothing nothing except hashem's will and
wisdom there's nothing in the future and
now I'm just like living into the future
like wow and all of a sudden I hear the
music I taste the food I connect to my
loved ones
my father can talk all he wants about
whatever he is he loves to download and
all I see is just the cutest man in the
world he's so cute it's just so sweet
and and and notice that he only does
this with you he's never called any of
your friends he's never called any of
your
neighbors he hasn't called any of his
work colleagues about this stuff only
you and why would he only call you about
this stuff why does he only download his
husa to you and the answer is because he
loves
you and all of a sudden you start
becoming someone who lives in the moment
taking full responsibility for how you
hear your father and he's just the
cutest thing ever and and he's the
sweetest sweetest man in the world doing
his absolute best with not a lot of
skills and we all know if you were
watching a video if you watching a
YouTube video just a cool cute video
about some guy who's just not very good
at things I don't know maybe special
needs or something he's putting all of
his effort in it to like tie a shoe you
know you would actually watch the video
because you know he's gonna make the bow
in the end like you know you'll watch a
whole one minute short to have that kid
tie that freaking bow you know so you
can celebrate it but here's your
father you know with like very few
skills
but has mustered the ability to at least
download what he thinks is important to
the person he loves the
most and that's gone right over your
head for years and years why because you
have your past wrapped up in the future
but as soon as you let the past go to
and then you see your father and all of
a sudden he's like he's alive just like
the sound of the
guitar all of a sudden he's here and
you're here and you're connected and
you're together
[Music]
okay so uh maybe hit the lights and
we'll do a little medit
[Music]
ation stop with the seeds so you can do
some
meditation stop with the seeds so you
can close your eyes breathe everyone
close your eyes and breathe taking a
deep
breath hold your
breath hold your breath and now
[Music]
release long
exhale inhale
deep hold your breath eyes
closed holding your
breath and
exhale one
more hold your
breath release think thinking about your
father breathing normally
now just thinking about your father and
breathing quiet
normal you hear him leaving the
driveway 10 of
n for the last 30 years he's been right
on
time he didn't always make it home to
you when off to bed and though you felt
alone at least he made it home he
couldn't help with your homework he had
too much to
do but sometimes when you finished he
would read it
through you didn't want to interrupt but
at times it couldn't wait
and though he made you
mad he was still your
dad he is
still my
daddy he's the
only
one I
own
he
still my daddy
guess I don't want to change him after
all
after
all once he made up his mind it did no
good to
fight you didn't ask his
opinion he was always
right but he t you not to give up hope
how to take it till the end and though
it may seem
Grim you're a lot like
him he is
still my
daddy he's the
only
one
I he get
still my
daddy guess I don't want to change him
after
all
[Music]
after all you are and all you're not
that's the father I've
got all you are and all you're not
that's the father I've
got all you are and all you're not
that's the father I've got all you are
and all you're not that's the father
I've
got you ever noticed how your father is
exactly who he exactly is to the
millimeter and he's exactly not who he
is is exactly not to the
millimeter and you could say to yourself
that you'd be a lot closer to him if he
would only
change but he's not going to
change but you can transform your
life and the way you transform your life
is by taking all the stuff the little
tees of your
past and getting aware of how you've
been thrown them into your
future which neutralizes them and all of
a sudden you're able to experience life
and you're able to experience your
father try these words keep your eyes
closed take a deep breath all you are
and all you are not together all you are
and all you're not that's the father
I've
got all you are and all you're not that
that's the father I've
got all you are and all you're not
that's the father I've
got all you are and all you're not
that's the father I've
God sometimes when it's late at night I
think about my dad I just want him to
know that I love him
so get in touch with the heartbeat of
your
father it's not going to beep
forever say the
words to your father that need to be
said take full
ownership of how you've been treating
the
situation own it stop pointing your
fingers at
him when you point your finger at
somebody realize there's three more
pointing right back at you there's
something from your past that he
triggers and it's most likely the fact
that he wiped your nose for 14
years it's very hard to be a man in the
lifetime of your father very hard not to
be reduced into a little
boy stop pointing your finger point your
finger at yourself
you're trying to protect yourself from
the one person who
would sell his home to pay for an a
medical emergency
or or to deal with some legal
emergency you're protecting yourself
from the one person who would do
absolutely anything for
you say the words to your father that
need to be
said before it's too late
and the words are together sometimes
when it's late at night I think about my
dad I just want him to know that I love
him so take a deep breath sing with
me sometimes when it's late at night I
think about my
dad I just want him to
know that I love him
so he is still my daddy you can sing he

daddy he's the
only
one I
own he is
still my daddy he's the only one I
own he's the only
one I
own he
is my daddy guess I don't want to change
him after all guess I don't want to
change him after all I don't want to
change him after
[Music]
all
WR oh
[Music]
as you hear the heartbeat of your father
your
heartbeat of the beautiful child that
you are the numbers 1 through five and
five opening up your eyes coming up one
two three four and five
opening up guys
[Music]
Hit the
[Music]
lights so gentlemen how did we start
this class what were the first words of
the class you got to be transformed your
life at all times what was the second
part of the class second part of the
class is that your body has been lined
with nerve endings you've been given a
conscious Soul inside of you to
experience life well what gets in the
way of experiencing life so what gets in
the way of experiencing life is that we
are busy
with navigating the future via the past
it's like we're sitting on the
windshield of our car it's like we're
sitting on sorry the dashboard it's like
you're sitting on the dashboard of your
car
and driving looking out the back window
you understand we're like we're going
that way but we're looking back to see
how we can somehow survive all the
little teas of our upbringing the
example we gave was fathers but there's
a million examples like for example the
social experience of being at a wedding
but notice you don't hear the band you
don't hear the guitar player you don't
hear nothing then we did a little
meditation about our fathers so that we
can kind of see through our stories
about him and recognize that he's just
was doing his best with what he's got
like the little kid tin his shoe on the
YouTube
short Who's down syndrome you know and
we're going to watch that YouTube short
and clap when he finishes and so too
we're going to do the same thing with
our father that every act Our Father
does with us we're going to experience
it fully
as a an experience of love and being
loved by your father and
and um but it's not just that that was
just an example and weddings are
examples and work is examples and money
is examp what does money bring up from
your
past what do females bring up from your
past maybe that's why you're still
single what a woman represent what did
your mother represent that'd be a good
indication of what females
represent you want to you got to know
that
stuff and know what it brings up for you
because okay I know what she represents
and I know what it brings up for me so
you got to go into the past well not too
much you know why you don't have to go
back into it really why because all all
I have to do is just see what's coming
at me what's coming up for me oh what's
coming up for me right now is rejection
at this kidish I'm at a kiddish
rejection is coming up and you want to
travel all the way back and see where
your first rejection was probably most
people wouldn't even remember so do we
really need to go back there not really
all I know is right now is that I can't
taste the Herring I don't taste the
Herring I'm not tasting the
cougal I'm not enjoying the whiskey
because I'm too busy or I can't even
drink the whiskey because my stomach's
too tight from the
social you know uh uh what do you call
social anxiety that I'm having I can't
even enjoy the Kish so then I can just
ask myself what's all this bring up for
me well if you're really honest it'll
bring up something like I'm a loser or
I'm unwanted I'm unloved or I'm
unimportant or bring up something about
you that you know you secretly believe
and then you could just say am I a loser
am I unimportant am I do I not matter
like you look around the room and you
see kids with 200 guys enjoying
themselves and you're like could it
possibly be that I am the statistical a
statistical anony anomaly sorry am I
statistical anomaly that I'm the one guy
who's unlovable here CU you realize
everyone else in the kiddish seems great
everyone else is great how could it be
that you're statistically the one guy
who doesn't belong here it's
nuts and that's why you know you know
once you get through all this you do
belong there and that's how I can like
move backstage so easily you know I was
at uh I was at the Carly Bach um Carly
Bach concert at B ma now the tickets
sold out a week
before so we didn't get tickets and and
um so we we couldn't
really get in with tickets but I said to
my wife
wife you know like most of Life 99% of
life is showing up let's show up to the
concert and so we got in the car we
drove to B we walked up to the guards at
the side of the door and we're like
listen it's pretty late in the concert
now a lot of people are leaving you mind
if we go in he's
like yes I could l in and get fired but
my whole job is to stop you from going
in there so I don't think that's going
to happen so I could take a no I could
take a no and I said so what's over on
that what's over in that direction you
know because he was a right turn I said
what's over say there's nothing over
there I said okay well we're going to go
see nothing so we go over to see nothing
it turned out it was backstage um
backstage and right there's Yehuda
Solomon from the from the mosha band and
big hog you what's up he made aliash and
and uh here he is with two kids and and
we're like yeah what's back here he's
like oh this backstage we just got off
stage shomo cats is going on you got to
see him and I'm
like he goes oh take this take this
wristband and and his kid pulls off
their wristband and and they put the
wristbands into our shirt a little you
know I go up to this glass door I'm like
you know there was a lady behind the
counter press a button next thing I know
I'm
backstage I'm backstage but not just
backstage I was on the side you know
where all the fog machines are and I'm
watching shomo cats you know thumbs up
to the clarinet player a friend of mine
bal's on clarinet and we're just rocking
with a band I'm like I'm on stage I
literally my wife and I are both on
stage in the wings enjoying the Shalom
of cats concert and it's
like once you start to roll with I
belong exactly here people start getting
the vibration you understand like you
can you can just go right up to First
Class of the plane you're on and meet
everybody you know cuz you belong there
100% do you belong sitting there
no but you definitely belong there and
so you go in there and smoo with all the
people there's a lot of interesting
people there who have had a lot less
fear than most so they're very
interesting to talk to and you know
talking to someone who's full of fear is
not that interesting talking to someone
who's who's broken through most of their
fear is very interesting and it's
amazing where life ticks you when you
stop being governed by your fear and
that's business class on LOL flights not
everybody you know but it's certainly a
lot of them and so it's a it's a nice
club of people that you get to meet them
and they want to talk all about they
generally like talking about work and
they tell you everything they're doing
and it's it's exciting to be with them
but you belong there you belong
everywhere you understand you're you
can't you it's statistically impossible
that you're one guy that doesn't belong
in the social situations that are
causing you
anxiety and it's and it's impossible
that anything you believe about yourself
negative is
true
nothing nothing is someone willing to be
a volunteer up here someone doesn't mind
being on YouTube one guy come on one
ell come here Ellie come up to me I'm
just keep going follow my voice follow
my voice Ellie is uh sight
challenged we're giving a hug since
you're coming up
y we're try to face in the camera camera
people little more there you're not a
camera you're people you're actual human
beings who are watching this in this
moments yes exactly so um ell you know
you're a great example because uh how
long are you not cited I'm blind for one
years old from one years old okay no
memory of seeing no memory yeah the same
thing as like like sort of F from bth
okay so no memory of seeing and um tell
me tell us all if you're willing to be
honest with all of us tell us the
harshest belief you were having about
yourself at any point in your life uh
based on you're not being able to see
because this is like all of you are
cited and now he's going to tell us a
belief he had about himself that would
have held him back so the harshest a
belief um when I
was 12 13 was I receive a lot more than
I give that's not a negative belief
about yourself that's a realization that
you that you've been receiving a lot and
you'd like to start giving uh beliefs
beliefs would be something like uh
unwanted uh uh uh damaged uh damaged
goods uh incompetent so at 1718 um I
believe that many friends were seeing me
as a project rather than excellent
rather than actual sincere friendship
excellent so we're going to go a bit
harsher with that because what that do
for me wait wait first first we need to
go to the word so it wasn't that you're
a project but that you are a what when
you're a project what's that make
you I'm going to take a moment and
consider that yeah go into your heart go
go in here what are what are you saying
about yourself when you're a project
because the project Vis be them I'm
asking what were you saying inside as
their H
project I'm unlovable excellent and like
the deepest kind of love wow like the
the the deep deep kind of love mhm not
me wow everyone in this room now give a
pop if you've ever if that's one of your
beliefs is unlovable give a pop be
honest pop pop okay unlovable now I want
you to see Ellie when he was an infant
okay I'm holding him as a little infant
okay he cutest kid in the world is he I
all I want you guys to say is yes each
time I ask you a question is he is he
lovable yes now he's three I'm holding a
little toddler is he lovable now he's 10
lovable yes now he's 11 now he's 15 now
he's 18 now he is how old are you 23 23
is he
lovable at what point did he become
unlovable and the answer is begins with
an NE v r when did he become unlovable
never but for himself unlovable
was what was happening deep down for him
and he was going through life with
unlovable being kind of the past shot
into the future so now he has to
navigate into the future as unlovable at
which point he's going to make sure he's
going to be you ready for this this is
we're going very deep today sorry to go
this deep but to be a
giver you're going to be a giver you're
no longer a case you're going to give
am I wrong and tell me if I'm wrong I
want you only what you resonate with
it's true what did you do about being a
I think you became a giver because ever
since I've known you you're giving so
that came later initially initially what
I did was um learn to set healthy
boundaries and healthy expectations I
taught my friends how they're relating
to me you don't walk me to somewhere
because I don't know where to go you
walk me to somewhere CU I enjoy your
company and unless unless it is actually
true that I don't know ago in which case
honestly thank you but I I I I'm careful
to manage people's expectations that's
where it started excellent and reminding
myself really internalizing there are a
bunch of people actually choosing to sit
next to me and allowing that to really
really like get in there the the pece
came came really once I was married nice
that's when the K were really there nice
nice which makes a lot of sense because
now you have a home mhm and now you can
give properly so so what I would like to
what I so what I want to share is that
is that the beliefs you have about
yourself never
actually happened meaning nothing ever
happened that make them true a lot of
stuff happened he has his blindness
meaning he not being able to see
happened and the stuff that happened to
us all the little tees happened but what
it meant about us never happened you get
that yeah it's true for example when I
was 10 years old I was
humiliated I was humiliated it was
really bad and I really want to be
accepted by the people who humili
humiliated me so I just decided I'm
unacceptable now if a bunch of people
humiliate me that I wanted to accept me
does that make me
unacceptable no it just means I was
humiliated in a situation by the way
they weren't trying to humiliate me it
was my own head doing no one was doing
anything really but I I just got
embarrassed terribly humiliated and and
because it was public I just decided
actually do humili what actually humili
well that's why we used that's why he
was a great example because he actually
could not see and was a case and
therefore everyone's just doing and no
one really loves him got it so that's
he's the best case because here's
something that actually happened and the
but the thing is none of it's true so
all the stuff mom is so untrue tell you
all the stuff that we had happened to us
that's from the past that we've been
that we believe certain things about
ourselves we dug our shovel in there
flipped it into the future so that we
can now somehow navigate and make sure
we don't wind up in another situation
that puts us right back to that crushed
position and you want to know one of the
guys here in this Yeshiva said to me
that he feels like he's ready to get
married it's been a lot of years he's in
his 30s already and he's like he ready
to get married and I said to him okay
that's great but you better know why
you're not married till now if you can't
articulate that if you can't articulate
what is back there that you were
flinging into the future of being able
to date for marriage if you don't know
what that is if you have not identified
and again it's not identifying the past
earlier is saying do I have to go back
to no I have to identify what I'm saying
now yes me you want to go figure it all
out go to a therapist pay a couple
thousand bucks go every week you know or
go to a hypnotherapist they're good at
bringing you to the Past forget the past
I'm not talking about the past I'm
talking about now what are you saying
about yourself now is it based on
something for sure but the funny thing
is everyone has the same thing we all
have it so who cares what happened to
you obviously if it's a big T trauma
that you got to do trauma therapy but if
it's all the little tea traumas which is
what happened to most of us you don't
have to go back there you going back
there for what do we need the past for
we're living right here right now oh I
got some beliefs about myself that I'm
somehow coding the future with so I can
somehow navigate these stupid things
that I'm saying about myself which are
so Random statistically impossible not
true at
all and yet in common with most people
because everyone's believing the same
stuff about
themselves and then I can neutralize it
tase
it and now walk into the future of
experience everyone snap your fingers on
four 1 2
3 take a
breath feel the air on your
skin feel the fibers of your clothing
hear the sounds low frequencies the
highs you hear the guitar now you hear
the saxophone you taste the food your
stomach's
relaxed stomach's relaxed none of that
anxiety social tightness
peace how was
that thank you very much everybody uh
let's hear for Ellie
also thank you Ellie okay if anyone has
questions I can take questions go ahead
you ripped it how is that by breathing
and doing what how does how does that
work that that makes you moment um well
I was tricking you guys with certain
ways of snapping and snapping and uh did
some music to like knock you out of it
we spoke about water water is a great
way we're all drawn to water nature all
these stimulation can overstimulate your
dead
senses um but that wasn't what we
discussed we went much deeper than that
what we did was we we identifi I'm going
to say it clearly we identify the things
we believe about ourselves negative
beliefs we identify the negative beliefs
we believe about ourselves that are
getting triggered by the upcoming
situation you understand and yeah since
we're live I'll just share that I have
24 years ago I started a seminar that
now is 14,000 graduates called the
possible you uh anyone here did the
possible you I don't think anyone here
did it so let me just explain what is
the possible you think about it if
you're digging the past if you're
digging your shovel in the past flinging
into the future is your future possible
or predictable which one really
predictable in every situation you can
basically predict how you're going to
act because you've been do for years
you've been in these survival
patterns so it's called the possible you
because it it puts the past in the past
so that you can live into infinite
possibilities the way an infinite being
creates the world and all of a sudden
you get like a total reboot on your life
and you can experience everything fully
so I just want to share that I'm running
possibly you seminars if you know anyone
in B Park in sorry Bor Park if you know
anyone in New York area even New Jersey
