“Grow Up” Your Concept of G D!

immature concept of God comes from a from seeing the Torah as a story book where you got the god of Abraham now God's having an argument with with uh Abraham's having an argument with God to like save the city of sadim who are up to no good and God's like clearly a punishing God because he's going to destroy the city of sadone because of people misbehaving in in sad which is you know uh I guess in English they call it Sodom and gamorra okay um I think the Sodom has something to do with the sodomy but the G the but what's interesting about it is sodium is the is salt and sodium's the all you get down there at the Dead Sea you know everything down there where sod and gamor was is salt today you ever thought about that that s is uh is where all the sodium is in in the you know it's just a massive like salt area and the anyway the but when you read those stories you think of God as this God who's like he's like a deal wheeler and dealer you know Abraham's saying you know if there's a couple holy people in there you know maybe you wouldn't destroy the place he's a Wheeler and dealer he's a Punisher he's a rewarder he's um he's clearly got it in for um for uh for certain people and then later God becomes the god of Torah and Mount Si and now all of a sudden you got 613 Commandments which is 365 Thou shalt not do which breaks down to about 40 uh 30,000 laws and 248 thou shal do which breaks down to about 15,000 laws altogether it's 45,000 laws but what can easily happen is your concept of God is just this God of of deal making reward and Punishment um and and a god who's like super concerned about about like how you comb your hair basically meaning it's a god Who's involved in in like your your tiniest tiniest details and how do you maintain a mature concept of God and what is a mature concept of God now we're going to go into a mature concept of God and what you're going to realize in working on that on a mature concept of God you're going to have to somehow make it make it work with a god of Torah like it's going to somehow have to be the same God because we're not going to have two Gods we're not going to have the story book god of the Torah with all its everything it says and and the a mature concept of God be two separate gods they're going to be in the end one and some of the greatest thinkers in the world some of the really great thinkers I don't know if you guys heard the Thinker named Alan Watts youve heard of Alan Watts anyway if you listen to Alan Watts you you'll grow a lot in your maturity of thought but even the greatest maturest thinkers can't help but but consider the god of Israel as a petty God built by some kind of patriarchy to cause Conformity and control you understand that that it's somehow built to control us and uh I heard a recent great quote um I think Jordan Peterson said it he's another great thinker who I think has probably put it all together but but Jordan Peterson he said recently he said religion's what religion is an organization that makes sure you don't have any religious experiences which is a very interesting thing to say I'm going to say that again religion is uh he I think he was quoting Carl Yung that religion is an organization that makes sure you don't have any religious experiences cuz what what does it mean to have a religious experience is that I mean in your daily life of order with Order and Chaos and your daily life of order would you call having a truly religious experience like a freak out experience would that be part of your order would that be more towards chaos which one chaos it' be total chaos meaning if you had a truly religious experience like a real God experience which in my family we we actually once in a while one of my kids will yell out let's have a god experience one two three and then the whole family what we do is we all scream at the top of our lungs which is an actual uh form of service of God which is called Primal scream and I'm actually part of an ecstatic prayer group in Jerusalem that is a primal scream group and so you should know that each one of you has a voice inside that you've never even met never met very few I brought I brought a guess someone wanted to do the Primal scream prayers with us uh really sweet guy from Mexico City he been observing for years we he actually came over over Friday to learn uh Thursday to learn was that Friday Friday to learn cabala with me and he's an older guy and he want to learn cabala and so I taught him a cabala class and later I invited him to do the extreme prayer he couldn't he couldn't do it because until you've met your Primal scream you don't you don't just walk in and find it it's something you you have to achieve and I bet most of you never even heard that voice come out of you anyway but in my family sometimes a kid will yell out let's have a god experience and and they and they'll yell one 2 three and the whole family just goes and then we'll be silent and just feel Hashem we just feel a shim right there but it's chaos it's chaos if you want to go for God experiences it's chaos but what would you do if you created a tradition of of Judaism where it's all about chaos how do you control the group who's who's in charge here you know if the name of the game of your group is chaos in order to produce God experiences and who says my God experience is going to be different than your God experience and now you're going to have your God experience what tradition do we follow now because everyone's having their own God experience so like so like what's real now well wouldn't it be a lot easier just to create a really dumb down boring quiet prayer service where everyone reads the page you know quietly to themselves for the most part and stays very much in their space and like you know be normal as they say be normal well there's not going to be a god experience there except for obviously the person who knows how to go in cuz there is such a thing as inner God experience so the guy who knows how to go in the woman who knows how to go in will have their God experience cuz certainly going crazy in prayers going out to get to it but there's also going in now not every person's so good at going in because there's three types of people there's intellectuals I call them ones they're good at going in there are interpersonal which love people not good at going in and last are the third types which are the instinctual those are like the Earth people and they're good at going in but only when they're like hiking Barefoot you know not in a prayer setting like they're just it's way too many words on that page for the instinctual types and again every human being is either one of those three I mean you have all three but one of them is your major so you either major in intellectual ideas or you major in people or you major in things so for example I'm a 231 I'm mostly people then I'm things you know that's why I'm I'm mountain biking and in that room over there is probably one of the nicest mountain bikes in the country because the nicer your mountain bike the less you fall okay and I don't want to fall at this point in my life and the and the the uh really the nicer mountain bike the less you have a mountain bike cuz think about it if your Mountain bike's just perfectly making it through the mountains it doesn't really exist Does it meaning if your suspension and drivetrain are completely perfected for the for the terrain you're in is there really a bike is there even a bike under you anyway that's a fun thought for all the threes ones are like why are you even talking about bikes twos are like we're all the people and three is me racing through the mountains on my mountain bike and afterwards going to get a sauna having jumped in a spring before the before the sun and not to mention a cold beer but all those are Instinct people those are threes now turns out 45% of the world are twos and 45% of the world are threes meaning 45% of the world are people people 45% of the people are are instinctual people meaning they like they like the the physical world they're into that and by the way I happen to know what everyone is in this room right now and I'm just watching all you guys I'm watching the ones wonder what the hell is going on in here I'm watching the twos enjoy me enjoying myself and I'm watching the threes enjoy me talking about things like mountain biking and being out in the forest and like you know and and I'm just literally your facial muscles are working exactly according to what as I talk about this I'm watching your facial muscles move each you are firing as I'm talking about ones twos and threes so it turns out only 10% of people are ones so everyone who thinks they're going to go in with prayer and read thousands of words if he's not one of that 10 percentile who could go in on that he's not even there he just not even there that's the guy who's always coming late to prayer cuz he wants to do the bare minimum get in get out without any you know without you know dying AB boredom and hence ecstatic prayer sends you to it who ecstatic prayer awakens the the spirit within and for that reason uh threes should definitely be involved in a much more ecstatic prayer and twos enjoy it because there's a bunch of people around so me being a 231 I'm in AIC Sho with a couple hundred people we're all in pretty tight and you'd probably be thinking like I don't want to be that tight with everybody but if you're too you actually like being with lots of people all around you so I like being Clos in fact even when I'm in my silent prayer and I've got a guy brushing up on either side of me and I'm in full-on meditation I mean deep deep meditation so it's a distraction to have someone next like touching you well they're like my Talus is like touching other taluses in you know when it's really packed in there um but I just put it as part of my meditation that like I don't know where he's at and I don't know where he's at but I'm with them you know like they're like we're touching like I'm actually in full meditation touching these other Jews who've been screaming bloody murder for the last hour and a half and now we finally entered into the silent meditation and it's a very deep place but it makes us ungovernable you understand that that this is something that I just want to give like I just want to give honor to the kic communities not every kic Community but certainly the ones that are chaos the ones that allow chaos in their Community like it's built in that there should be chaos you got to hand it to those people you one example there's a rabbi in Jerusalem named rir zilverberg and he's one of the great great teachers of Israel and um very alternative prayer group so not only do you have full volume and they got a lot of song We Don't Do song we only do scream but they got song but they also everyone gets their own space and in your space you get to do whatever you want like there are no rules to what you do in your space so people are really using their space and it's pretty cool so at one point during the prayers I noticed that there was a a Talus on the floor a prayer Shaw on the floor so I went to pick it up and right when I went to pick up the prayer Shaw cuz I was in my prayer so I just kind of lean down like that to pick up the prayer sha someone pushed my arm away I'm like what was that you know I'm just trying to pick up a Talis from the floor and then I look back and I see it's not just a Talis on the floor there's a person under the Talis and he's shaking so it's the Talis is going like this it's like quivering underneath the Talis in the middle you know we're in the middle of morning prayers on shavas and anyway I contined praying and I noticed after a while that the rebi Reby zilverberg is is not at his Podium for quite some time so I was thinking that it was kind of interesting that he took such a long break you know the Reby of the community like disappeared in the in like the height of of the doing anyway it was only a matter of like maybe 40 minutes I mean these people were going for the two hours uh intensity about 40 minutes in I see the Talis start to move again the guy gets up and guess who it is it's the reie himself the rebi himself is flat on his face shaking inul convulsively shaking for a half hour straight underneath a Talis on the floor in the middle of the sh like not even where he was standing at the beginning at the front of the shore that level of of ecstatic prayer is religious experience I I know I never use the word religious so I apologize I'm only using it because Carl Young said the famous quote which is that that organized religion has to do everything to make sure you don't have a religious experience if they're going to keep control over you so I'm calling this God experience a religious experience the reason I don't use the word religion normally I'll just let you know the reason I don't use the word religion is because religion is something you wished were true and meaning it's a a mythology that people who believe in it wish it were true and and they believe it's true and they might even risk their life or sacrifice much for it but Judaism isn't that way Judaism is literally just a history of the people we're a history of a people a nation born in another Nation 10 plagues split sea Mount Si and then you know 40 years in the desert come to Israel I mean there's there's no point where you have to start believing in anything there's no guy in a cave you believe in that he said something there's no Apostles that you got to believe they saw what they saw you're never believing anyone saw what they saw because the entire thing is just simply the history of our people the entire thing is only the history of our people from the beginning till today and if you backed it up a 100 years all you'd get is just Judaism in the 1900s and if you backed it up 100 years you get Judaism in the 1800 you backed it up a thousand years you'd have Judaism in the middle in the uh whatever you call those times I don't know history so I would just call the time of the reown him and you back it up a thousand years you would be at the second temple period And if you backed it up another 500 years you'd be in in Persia with the Jewish people and the whole story of the Persian Empire and the Jews and the the story of the of Purim and if you backed it up a couple hundred more years you're in the first temple period if you back it up another couple hundred years you got King David and we already have his coins we have you understand we have all that stuff we we the archaeologist the biggest atheist archaeologist in the world don't deny David's existence as the king of Israel and you back it up a few hundred years and you got the period of time where we're Conquering the land of Israel and you back it up just a little bit more you're literally on the shores of the Jordan River with Moses passing away and Joshua taking the Baton and leading the Jews into the land of Israel like at what point oh and if you back it up a little those 40 years 40 years more you're at the you know the the surround sound Omnimax 3D LSD Sinai experience so it's like and at the SI experience there's 3 million people there if you look in the Torah it says 600,000 Jews sorry 600,000 men between 20 and 50 if you had the children you had the elderly and you had the women you're 3 million Jews that's the math so it's 3 million Jews are there who are you believing and who could have ever started such a thing at what point did they start it you understand it was always this civilization called Israel our amuna our amuna is not belief Aruna is just our history and in fact you'll notice on whenever we do the evening service Mar what do you say after sh is you say zo what's after the word zo is a colon it says and this is our faith and then what's after the colon our history it's a long paragraph of our history just goes through everything the Jewish people ever went through in our history it's just our history now let's go let's go a little bit deep into let's let's go a little deep into the mature concept of God I'm going to give over quickly the 4 second proof of God you guys ever heard of proof of God in 4 seconds no you never heard it does someone here have a smartphone with a timer cuz I I used to call the 5sec proof of God but I got it down to four so i' I'm going to I'm like redoing it now it's the forest second Pro of God so get your stopwatch ready okay it's got a little uh it's got a little background so the 4 second proof of God have you guys heard the 4 second proof of God I gave over this proof of God to a PhD class of MIT physicists can you imagine like that's a lot of fun to be able to give this class to MIT physicist like 50 MIT physicists and I only got one argument and I put down that argument with one line I got one meaning one guy raised his hand he had an argument and it was a very short argument and I was able to I was able to you know what would they say on YouTube destroy his argument in uh with one simple line ready so here it goes I just got to give a little background before we get to the four second proof of God and that is just to understand what I mean by nothing so like you might say there's nothing in this cup right nothing so is there nothing in the cup is this cup empty or full no it's full what's it got in it air it's got air so that's just interesting in general is that we don't really have a concept of nothing you know like your brain went to nothing meaning your brain can go there but it's pretty interesting the whole thought of nothing you know like like what is nothing exactly um but I I think nothing was introduced to the World by The Big Bang the Big Bang which is the number one biggest um oh um can anyone help me with the word Kasha in English it's the number one Kasha of atheists against atheists the Big Bang is the number one Kasha against atheists what's the word Kasha maybe objection antithesis antithesis question question number one biggest question maybe question is the simplest way to say cuz the word Kasha in Hebrew is such a stronger it in in the word Kasha is often translated as a an attack question meaning meaning the issue you're the Kos is uprooting what you believe to be true so for example atheists who believe there's no God have this attack called The Big Bang and what's funny about this is Jews who are raised observant they often think that Jews who raised observant think the Big Bangs like aash on Judaism why because because the Torah says the world's 6,000 years old and so if the Big Bang says the world's 15 billion years old so that means that the world's not 6,000 years old which means maybe the Torah is not true right you hear the Kasha so then they just think the Big Bangs like this major Kasha on Judaism which means Kasha on God and the but it turns out that the biggest Kasha the number one Kasha on atheism is the Big Bang why because the Big Bang means that there was a be a beginning if there was a beginning that means there was a before the beginning now what would be before the beginning of matter what would be before the beginning of matter begins with an n o t h i n g what is it together nothing nothing and you'll notice in those those bastards I don't want to call them bastards because they were trying to teach us when we were kids but when I was a kid growing up we were given the Big Bang as a fact not as a theory we're giving it we were given it as a fact and they always started it with a little tiny piece of matter that banged they didn't talk about the fact that that little piece of matter would have to be created so here we were kids being told as a fact about the Big Bang instead of it being a theory and they were already putting a little piece of matter in there which is cheating you understand that's a major discussion where did the little piece of matter come from Mister but we were little kids and we were like okay I guess we're just supposed to believe in this but the bottom line is for atheists is that the Big Bang is a major kosha what's the Kasha is that if you're in if there was absolutely nothing so what did God used to create the world if there was nothing what's the world made out of if there was nothing could there ever be something meaning let's just say that I could somehow scientifically suck the air out of this cup I suck the air out of the cup of course the cup would collapse but if I suck the air out of the cup hermetically seal it and we come back at year later what's in the cup let's say there's nothing in the cup I come back a year later what's in the cup everyone say nothing please can you say a little louder even louder 1 2 three if there was so we come back to you later um what would be in the cup A Thousand Years Later thep side of the cup what the upside of it that yeah that would be there I'm F the cup understand all the time thought there was nothing but then there was what's behind the cup yeah that's a very deep thought actually and we could go there right now but right now I'm just trying to get everyone to say nothing okay now we come back a year later what's in the cup nothing what's in the cup A Thousand Years Later million years later trillion gazillion what does nothing make together what does nothing make nothing what does nothing make everyone say nothing if you have nothing what does it make before there was something what was there nothing nothing we know of no nothing nothing we could understand that we know nothing that we would ever be able to understand don't forget your mind is like you're saying what's your name I tell like like you're saying I tell the mind is couched in space and time it's really interesting you think about that cuz we're all like dedicating our Our Lives to this being that's that's not a thing and your mind could never get around it it's like what are you even doing what are you even doing dedicating your life to God who is nothing your mind could ever conceive you know imagine imagine if like imagine if I had no concept of my wife could I be in a relationship with her but meanwhile I'm in this super dedicated relationship with a being and I have no idea what it is I'm already hinting a little bit of what the Torah is remember what our original question was how could a mature thinker have a Biblical version of God you know that that was I don't know those who came in late that was our original question how could a mature thinker have a Biblical version of God but how can a mature thinker have any concept of God and the answer is you can't you can't have a concept of God all we know is that it was nothing and we know nothing makes nothing now the fact that it makes that nothing made something the fact that we're in a physical universe that's expanding we're in this gigantic space-time Continuum that started at one point and is moving in an expanded universe fashion from nothing means that whatever the nothing was is what we would call g- D so you ready for the 4 second proof of God get your timers ready here we go one you're going to record it what's your name again Benny I never got your name did I get your name Benny Benny ready okay on three ready I got to get this 4 seconds 1 2 3 before there was something there was nothing and since nothing makes nothing and now there's something that must be nothing was God 4 4:45 oh that's terrible let's try it again ready start again no I got it in four yesterday okay here we go one 2 3 before there was something there was nothing and since nothing makes nothing now there's something it must be nothing was God 376 yes the 3 second proof of God 376 you guys got the proof of God should I slow it down okay you guys will help me just say nothing again and don't forget to say something at one point so before there was something there was and since nothing made nothing oh sorry since nothing makes nothing and now that there's something something it must be that the nothing was God at which point the MIT physicist raised his hand amongst 50 physicists the guy raises his hand and says and his friends were really happy about this because someone had to stop me someone had to stop me and I'll explain why in a second and he raises his hand he says a rabbi you know it's a little presumptuous to call the nothing God and that was his caution and my answer back to him was tell me Mr physicist what does God mean and his face contorted a little and he thought and he looked at me he says touche you see there's two versions of God there is a a immature version of God which is like it's Bose of the clowns somewhere outside space and time and there's a mature concept of God which is the one we're discussing right now and so the physicist who raised his hand and says a little presumptuous that you call that God I bet you that guy as a kid had like I don't know some kind of biblical upbringing I don't know if he was raised Muslim I raised he Jewish I don't know if he was raised Christian but he was raised in some kind of a Biblical narrative God and so for me to to call the nothing that's as AV said is completely inconceivable to give it that biblical name to that physicist was aasha you really think I can use atar you really think I can use the word question a query gosh is such a stronger attack you know but you understand that was his ction which is what we're talking about today and I know I've been weaving this tapestry and you guys probably thought I was talking about all different kinds of things this whole time and but I wasn't you get that you realize I've been talking about one thing this whole entire time which is what I opened with is how do you have a mature concept of God while still having a Biblical concept of God and another thing that we got to already is one sec another thing we got to already is that if you have the mature concept of God you can't have a relationship with it other than obviously a very kind of more Buddhist being relationship because if you were to go to your deepest state of being and I could lead you guys in breath where can take you there cuz anyone can go there but if we if you went to your deepest state of being and I would suggest if you want to do that you should be celibate and fast for couple years meaning leave the world and then maybe you could leave the world enough that you left the world to the before the world to the nothingness and then you could be in a relationship and weird that this book says like be fruitful and multiply what like that's the first thing in the whole book what why would that be the first thing I mean here's this being that's so big that there's no way even have a concept of it to begin to have a relationship with it who happens to be an author gives a book you get the book you open the book you're expecting something deep and the very first thing it tells you is like here's something fun be fruitful and multiply and it's like okay it looks good on the cover you know like the first page I guess God put that there so you'd keep reading but it's an iceberg commandment it's a real Iceberg commandment you know what an iceberg is Iceberg you know you see the little cute little Iceberg you take take a trip to Alaska you see the iceberg and the the tour guide's like see that Iceberg over there and you're like yeah that thing's huge what is that 200 feet he's like no it's about 2 miles 2 miles now it's 200 feet probably yeah you're seeing the tip of the iceberg man that thing's 2 miles so you go ahead and you be fruitful and multiplying next thing you know there's only one way to be fruitful and multiply and not have your kids turn into absolute animals and that's the marriage well marriage is about six tractates of the tolet and now these kids are coming cuz right the only way to have kids you got to have a couple you got the only way to have a couple is you're going to have to have marriage the only way to have marriage is to have a contract because if there's no consequences in a relationship the relationship will not last cuz people are messed up people people are crazy including everyone in this room and myself including we're nuts and if we don't have a contract with consequences there's no way we'd stay married to that crazy person and so so you got to have couples now you get now you it's telling us to have kids now you got to have kids but now you got kids man you ain't no Buddhist monk cuz you got to feed those kids and if you're going to have to feed those kids you're going to have to work and you're also going to need a home and once you got to feed kids once you got to have work once's going to have a home well you're going to need three more tractates you're going to need bakama you're going to need Bubba msia and you're going to need Bubba Bas which is real estate law to put those kids not to mention some real estate to put your business or to put your farm or to put you know and you're going to have neighbors and there might be discussions about Whose Line Is you know where's the line of our property that's going to be Bubba asra now you're back in the talmud again and how can I have a relationship with a being who's who's inconceivable unless there's the stories in the Torah that talk about the interaction of Adam of Shas Enos Canaan Mahal all the way down to Noah and his son and the flood was there really a flood and the answer is it doesn't matter it doesn't matter I mean clearly there was some kind of flood but it doesn't matter for what we're talking about meaning in our subject does it matter but it's certainly talking about a generation of people that lost their way and the next thing you know like flood time you know you lose your way flood time the story of Sodom and Gomorrah s Andor a civilization Lost Their Way flood time both stories speak about a loss of the original sexual Union of male and female meaning it gets confused over there and then the civilization's wiped out like gone I suggest you guys Google um ancient artwork of civilizations that have disappeared you know any civilization that's disappeared here you want to hear something crazy every civilization that's ever existed in the world if you look at their artwork which could go all the way back to cave paintings certainly the artist was good enough to create a male or a female figure you understand like I mean I wouldn't say they're the most sophisticated artists in the world but but you can figure out if it's a man or a woman in the cave paintings right before a civilization dis civilization disappears you'll notice that the artwork goes gender neutral and then they're gone that Civilization is wiped off the world meaning we know about the flood we know about Sodom and the mar but we know that every civilization that has ever disappeared in the history of the world it right before the end right at the point where they had so lost their moral compass that the that the World Turns like non-binary and then it's gone the torist stories are teaching US stories from God that he chose for us to understand him to understand lessons to understand relationship and by the way if there was another planet out there or even multiple planets out there with life if there were other planets out there with life they would have God it would be the exact same God that created the world the same nothing that made this place and you want to hear something interesting they could have a totally different Torah based on their experiment because we're clearly God's experiment here so they could have a totally different system they might not they might not have even gotten the Torah you know why they might not have gotten the Torah because think about it why do we need a Torah they never ate from the dree maybe they never ate from the tree but then they would never really gotten started you know many R many um uh Elders would never discuss the Free Will story of Adam and Eve it's amazing thing cuz if you read the story they're clearly tested so there's free will no shouldn't we teach Free Will from Adam and Eve except what but could he have not sinned Adam could we have this discussion meaning meaning his sin was absolutely necessary for the creation it's part of the creation so you'll notice most Elders will never discuss Free Will in the like ultimate Free Will story so it should be a discussion of Free Will yet if you look through the Torah you see that like the sages don't want to discuss that as a free will story which is amazing like discussion in itself is like like why that story is not up to Free Will discussion but again nothing happens without it I want to answer the question why would a planet somewhere else not have gotten the Torah so I want to take you guys real deep for a second and then if you guys have questions we'll open the questions we're going to go real deep for a second God created the world with light okay um what do physicists say the world's made of of anyone studying physics what's a world made of parles energy oh there's a word right before energy you're good matter right before the word energy it's two words uh the word's light yeah the world's made of light light yeah light energy yeah the world's made of light energ all the waves and all the particles are all a flow of light energy yeah the world's made of light you can look at physics later and check out what the world's made of but the world's made of light energy what do the cabalists say the world's made out of what does kabalah teach us for thousands of years the world's made of light what do the physicists say the world's made out of light light oh the world's made of light okay well if God creates the world out of light do you realize that the light would kind of overtake us like could you exist could you exist in that light without it being filtered no none at all could never be be able to exist and right now I only have overhead lights which is terrible for filming but can you see my hand over here oh maybe the board ah you see the shadow there on the board so we got light and and I'm now filtering that light and now we have image matter okay you can't have you can't have matter unless the light's filtered out because the light light makes light okay light makes more light light Mak more light light makes light it's like a bulldozer okay anything makes it is so how does God ever make a world if the whole world's made of light answer by filtering the light energy well how do you filter light energy you create waves you create patterns you limit it so that there can be something other than light now of course what would happen if the light shut off right now what would happen to the image but my hand's still there so it's very interesting is my hand creating the image or is the light creating the image it's a deep thing to think about like what's really making this place and the answer is light's really making this place the settings of our world are specific to our world you can't see through this place before Adam and Eve ate through from the fruit they could see through it Adam named everything in the garden when he when I say named everything in the garden he didn't like name the dog Elmo mean he named it K he named it cave loyal the word cave like a heart loyal he saw everything but he didn't he saw everything traced it all the way into the light and then was able to see how the the holy 22 letters wo their way into that particular thing and then named it and that's why the Torah says whatever he named it was its name it's like what else are we going to think you know there was no one else around like like that was its name as opposed to what everyone else was calling it there was no one else why ises the Torah say it was its name because Adam saw Adam saw from from this Edge all the way up to the light edge saw how it wo its way through the filters into dog into KB that's how the world that's how our world works it's filtered light filtered light become hard we could go deeper about it but let's just say like this what if the light went off right now miss Phillips what happened to that meaning what would happen to you what would happen to you what would happen to you if the light went off which light that the big light hm light yeah you're gone what would be left of you if the light went off well there'd be nothing left of you but what if he switched the settings a little bit and let a little light through what if a little more light came through what would we all experience if God just turned down the filter 10% and allowed like 10% more light to come through do you think anyone in here would have a doubt there's a God yes no no I'm saying you're now seeing through things things just turn translucent which means what you'd be seeing is letters you would see the vibrational energy inside of the thing and I don't know if you know this now but check this out online this will blow you away is all the scientists meaning The evolutionary scientists today right now check this out online go on YouTube and check this out all the top evolutionary scientists are giving up on Evolution because they're finally finding out that no matter how much they trace the chromosomes of DNA no matter how much they trace it back it always comes back to intelligence so what are they meaning it's they they now have discovered that it's so complex that it's only intelligence at its base that it doesn't come to Simplicity it just boils down to intelligence which is just beyond but that's what's happening now that's where we're at so if God changed the setting and just turn down like 10% of the filter would there be a non-believer on Earth there wouldn't be a non-believer on Earth there would be a burglar on his way up the back wall of a house full of sleeping people and the husband of course hears the burglar and like quickly gets up and he's like oh my gosh you know he doesn't have a gun and like and the guy already cut the electricity to the house and he he also like burned out their Wi-Fi and stuff and they're way up in the hills there's no cell they were just going off Wi-Fi and the husband's freaking out and while I'm talking like this all of a sudden God says okay rium I'll give you 10% for like an hour 10% off the filter for like an hour the guy gets to the window of the master bedroom and sees the husband they're looking at each other in the window and all of a sudden the burglar just like starts sobbing and he's loaded he's going to kill the guy he was going to kill the guy they just start sobbing the the owner quickly undo the window he shouldn't fall pulls him into the house and they're hugging and that's why the other planets out there might not have gotten a Torah cuz who says their settings are like ours we got very we've got very strong settings here of more filter than light there are meditative practices that create more light than filter there are breathing practices that can create more light than filter there are are chemical compounds and even natural compounds that create more light than filter so people do have access and now with our understanding in physics and now with our understanding of so much so that's why those civilizations on other planets which I don't say exist I'm saying if they existed may not have needed the Torah because they wouldn't have had the same settings we have and they would have already worked it out on their particular Planet if they did have similar settings to us would their Torah read the same Moses Isaac Jacob Abraham would their Torah have the same words no totally different words and you might be disappointed you know if you were on that spaceship and you went up to that planet and you're like you know and we we brought a we brought a rabbi with us and the rabbi's like did you ever get a book by any chance like at some point in your history and they're like we did and they're like yes so they pull out their scroll and it's totally different words he'd be like oh what a disappointment but then he says to him hey do you happen to have Mystics in your community they're like of course we have Mystics they live up in some Mountaintop called spat oh amazing they have a same we also have a mystical Mountain called spat hey that's great so turns out that on the spaceship he was still meditating but one of the mystics from the mountains of satat came out of the spaceship and he met the mystics on the mountaintops of this mountain and they open up their Scrolls and they start teaching the secrets behind the words of the stories because they had their stories and they had their stories different stories but they start teaching the secrets that are underneath the stories and guess what it's the same Torah it's the same exact Torah because the Torah we're reading is not just to teach the story so that you learn how to have a relation with a being that you can't have a relationship with because it's inconceivable except for that which the prophecy of Torah teaches us how to interact with this being but it also has in it embedded in it the secrets of the creation itself the actual secrets of the entire creation are all within those letters which are numbers which is a system of strobing Light which is ultimately our world well I can take questions any questions that was the existence here comes the questions okay we'll start with you how is the existence of the world space and time not a contradiction how's the ex you have to ask me because a a tractor just drove by how is the existence of a world which is comprised of space and light and things that are very finite not a contradiction to God who is infinite should have encompassed that space so we didn't go there but I'll just say it quickly since we already went pretty far um before there was something there was nothing okay what do we call that nothing God God if if if all the there was was God what did God use to create the world if all there listen care if all there was was God what did God use to create the world himself himself so you think this world's finite this world ain't finite it's not finite it's all part of God isn't it interesting that all of us came from absolute nowhere also think about it you're like one day became this conscious being you were in the mother's womb so you had you had no way to really understand what was happening but but like you came from nothing and what's human what's Humanity's biggest fear what's a biggest fear besides public speaking Annihilation yeah and death but meanwhile you've never met a person who didn't meaning what is the fear of death the fear of death is that everything you are and everything you've made will amount to zero to nothing yet you've never met a person who didn't start off from there and doesn't seem upset about it whatsoever we all came from nothing and we're all pretty cool with it you know like no one I've never seen anyone have any anxiety over the fact that they came from absolute nothing it's the same fear and we all what's that it's the same fair that I come from nothing and never I go to nothing right exactly but it's just weird because everyone seems pretty cool with the fact that they came from nothing cuz we're future obsessed we're future well we're obsessed about not going back to nothing like I don't mind coming from it I don't want to go to it you know but but it's it's just very interesting and it's also very interesting that you have an eye called it Consciousness like you have an eye in there and that eye has never been found in science not they can't find it in brain scans not an MRI the brain scientist did you know this is the second biggest Kasha the second biggest attack question of atheists the number one biggest question is where' this world come from if there was nothing the second biggest question is consciousness D is they have a third one that they say before but only because they believe it came before which is uh organic life they don't understand how organic life came from uh gases you know like hydrogen or whatever they they don't get that you know like uh uh what's his name who's the biggest atheist in London um da Richard Dawkins said if I they said if you had three questions you got answers to what would the three be he said where did the world come from where did organic matter come from and where did uh Consciousness come from those are the three biggest caues obviously on atheism he's the most outspoken atheist um but once again I just want to develop that for a sec is that um what was I saying right before that Consciousness conscious conscious oh Consciousness not from here and you have it so you have this eye that's clearly conscious it's not part of your body but yet it seems to follow you around and for those who pray we have two words for that we say it several times a day you know what the words are who knows what the two words we say to recognize the miracle that your eye follows around your bag of bones why do your you ever notice that like no matter how fast you run you can't seem to get ahead of this bag of bones your Consciousness always hangs around it you know what the two words are that we mention it as a miracle every day multiple times no no the words are which means the Wonder and the word lassos is an action meaning meaning he acts wondrously when you click on the words he acts wondrously is mafos he he causes wonder is the is when you click on those two words it's actually about the fact that your eye hangs around your bag of bones now what happens when your bag of bones dies you think the eye dies your eye has nothing to do with the bag of bones the miracle is that it even hangs around it when you die when the body is no longer limiting you which is what it does you know think about what your body's doing to your eye your eye is part of the big eye the big eyy your eye is part of the big eye and your body limits it it has you in here like as if this world is all there is very interesting to think about I'll tell you one thing it does takes away your fear of death doesn't take away your fear of a grotesque death but it does take your faway of death meaning no longer being in this B of Bones here but you understand like like the the Jewish concept of Consciousness and God Consciousness being part of God to a portion of godliness inside you means it's Eternal which makes you automatically not afraid of death you can't be afraid of death and be a fully practicing Jew again it doesn't help much for an awful death awful death suck no matter how you slice it but I mean we have some kind of teachings that it like it's it helps with the next World I guess because you do have to pay the piper for your stupid moves in this world so something about an awful death is like better for you for some reason but I'll pass I'll go without the awful death please yeah and U and I've already you know I've been through so much with my extreme sports and various other extreme chaos activities that uh I think I've had plenty of of awful deaths already and I hope I'm done with my awful deaths and get to just I just prefer to have my family all around me and I'll be really old and I'll cry and bless each kid and tell them how much I love them and and I'm hoping that they'll record it because not for them for that they could play it live to the people because when I walk around and people keep interrupting whatever I'm doing which is usually just trying to get somewhere and they say what a difference these classes made for them it makes more of a difference for me to go to bed every night knowing I made that difference for people and and I always the only reason I say this is to let you know what a difference you make and if you aren't making that difference already start to because that's how bad it is out there that's how bad it is out there and and if if you need more wisdom to start making that difference so by all means be selfish now and Get It Go learn and gather your wisdom so that you can make difference for people AV tell you had a question that was a long answer but it's all God this is an illusion yeah um far away from my question but um I guess this is going back to the removal of light and question is ouren is that removal of light removal of filter filter the Mount Si experience for the first two Commandments was removal of filter and all light no I mean not all if there was all light then we our whole world would have been blasted to light so it wasn't all like God does have a dial so like so like if God wanted to like if he wanted right now we're on like large lot of filter so Mount sin was very little filter it was so little filter that our sages say first of all Mount sin was bigger than the splitting of the sea and our sages say that at the splitting of the sea the most simple handmade meaning she was a handmade of a she was a servant in Egypt a servant in Egypt of some wealthy family like the the most simple handmade in Egypt saw a greater Vis of God meaning she had a higher prophecy just walking through the sea you know she walking through the sea on dry land she had a greater prophetic experience than ycal Ezekiel who if you I don't know how much you know about Ezekiel but Ezekiel the prophet was saw the Chariot that if you started studying the cabala about this Chariot from this day forward and didn't do anything but that during your waking hours when you would die if we came and interviewed on your deathbed and said say did you finish you would not have finished studying about the Chariot that Ezekiel explains just in the first chapter of Ezekiel just one chapter explaining the Chariot you would spend the rest of your life studying this stuff and I know people who study the Chariot and believe me they've got nowhere and they've been doing it for decades now and the uh and I mean the Chariots I don't think a person in this room would stay sane if you did stay sane you'd probably come out of heretic um wait did I just say that so I'm not sure a person would live how you live meaning you might have a cardiac arrest if you lived you might come out um crazy you'd likely come out crazy if you didn't go crazy you'd probably come out a heretic because why because of the things you would see would be so powerful and so mind-blowing so overwhelming that you wouldd say that that thing you saw is running creation and therefore there's no God that's your heretic now because you saw something so big running so much of this world that you'd just say oh okay I guess he's in charge you know that's what you would do and so there's like not a person alive today who could go really all the way with it all the way with the Chariot studies and walk out of their unscathed and the the simplest handmade just like walking across the seaf Flor was seeing that and that was nothing compared to Mount Si so we're talking about the volume of filter was way down for the splitting of the sea and then God just went even more down and when it went more down for Mount Si the Jewish people approached Moses after the second commandment and said to him like we're out man like we don't want any more of this stuff and Moses said to them you don't understand like God's trying to like set you up for all time for all time you know what your history is going to be like you know what you're all going to be going through like he's trying to create a collective unconsciousness did I say that he's trying to create a collective Consciousness it's really unconscious but a collective Consciousness for a people that he's going to protect call that protection but protect through the biggest hell tunnel tunneling through history with all the Gentiles the 70 wolves surrounding a sheep throughout all of history to have you somehow presentable at the end of days as if it's about you which is not by the way it's not about us I know Jews love to say like the whole creation about it's about Hashem he's just going to have us around as witnesses to the truth of the whole system you get that get what I'm saying we we're nothing but Witnesses he'll present at the end you think God's that interested in us he's he likes us you can even say he loves us but we're a little bit disappointing you know imagine the Jewish people were your wife I personally would be divorced a long time ago name a Jew name a Jew that you'd be happy if he were if he or she were your wife I just me like you might think well the rabbi you know wouldn't the rabbi be like wouldn't he be someone worth having as a wife you know I imagine I go to bed every night and there's a digital counter like a Red digital like old school counter on this side and there's a red School old school counter on that side and it's going through like the seconds of the day and it gets to 24 at midnight and the left side is how much I thought about God and the right side is um the time of God creating me how'd I do each night how many how many seconds was there a second was there a second of the 24 hours where I wasn't directly being created from nothing to something nothing to something nothing to something strobing into existence from absolute nothing into something to have this experience with you right now was there ever a moment where God wasn't fully invested not a moment how would I do on the counter but it's not an effort for him for us it's an effort I understand but he created people to experience him and he created the Jewish people to be this like you know treasured Nation this amula this light un the world and we're like we're like at one of our lowest depths right now since World War II we are we are like right now in the eyes of the world we are we are detested you understand we are not I was just at a jazz club in Downtown LA and I was on my way to the jazz club 2: in the morning walking around downtown LA I had no idea if this was even safe and I'm going I'm going fic and I'm walking through downtown LA and I get to I'm going to a jazz club to you know just hear some live jazz and the um I just got to mention this cuz I haven't told this to anyone but I found an old African man sitting on the floor and when he saw me approach he just kind of looked up like that he didn't really get meet my eyes but he said could I have a dollar just want a dollar and of course you know I'm coming straight out of Jerusalem and I just sat right down on the floor I sat right down on the sidewalk right across from him so he was kind of shocked that I did that cuz he's just been asking for a dollar for whoever walks by at 2: in the morning we're not a lot of people out and when he saw my face he was shocked he sees my P sees my keeper sees my beard and his eyes roll up in his maybe let's close the door there's too many people right now walk his eyes roll up in his head and he just starts like speaking out about Abraham Isaac and Jacob and he's just talking about the forefathers now he not looking at me I'm I'm I'm sitting kind of a little too I'm across from him but a little to the left so I can get a little closer to him and he's just kind of looking up and just speaking ey J every once while he looks at me and I said forget that man I'm giving this guy a hundred bucks cuz the guy's on the street it's like let me give him a 100 bucks so I open up my wallet there's no money in my wallet so I walk up to I walk up to these rather richl looking people outside a marquee of a major concert that just let out and uh and so I go to these people and there there happened to be a hor player I knew there I said dude you got a 100 bucks and he's like he's like yeah I think so so so he's pulling out 100 bucks I'm going to quick pay him and the uh and we go to the guy to give him a 100 bucks so we get to the African man and and I'm like I'm like here's 100 bucks man and he goes I don't want a hundred bucks I asked you I asked you for a dollar and I look over my I don't have a dollar either I just flown in I just got to America I have no American money I have shekels wasn't going to give him shekels so I said to my friend you got a buck he's like I got a buck and he gave him the buck and he says God bless you okay by the way I tried to push the 100 on him I didn't just leave it at that nothing do it to get to the Jazz Club they were not expecting in the Jazz Club a guy who looks like me either so I got a lot of people coming up to me asking me all kinds of questions but eventually I got pulled into a booth because there was an Arab Muslim in the booth and this whole time I'm thinking like America's not safe I'm watching riots you know protesters you know this whole this whole escap Escapade in Downtown LA is I was a little on edge you know I'm like you know like what's going to happen here I found out what's going to happen is nothing you know other than good jazz and a lot of nice people so turns out that I think the media skewing our it's skewing the proportions meaning mean it's true things are happening but it's SC skewing the proportions so because I really met a lot of friendly people including the Muslim who pulls me into his Booth with all his friends around and starts having a whole like talk about the Palestinians with me anyway but what what we got to at the end which really blew his mind he when I was done he was like he was like I'm going to have to really think about this but when I by the time I walked out of his Booth he was like he was like I was saying to him that this has nothing to do with the Palestinians the Palestinians are the most recent Representatives over the last 3300 years of people whose job is to wake up the Jewish people to their mission to be a light unto the Nations and in as much as we are not that light we get reminded and this has none do with Palestinians like who are these Palestinians they're nothing but the re most recent version of hey these Jews should be doing their job and so he was more or less satisfied didn't know what to think he said he'd have to think about it I got out of the booth and whatever but we're like this whole ego that the Jewish people are like what it's all about we are definitely super super super important to this whole thing especially cabalistic and especially understanding The Narrative of creation but but we're really just going to be the witnesses at the end for God God's glory this is all about the light in a highly filtered situation that is going to shine through at the end of days when the ego of of the Nations is finally when they're taken down to their knees you understand whenever America's nice to netan whenever they're dealing with netan they're going good with netan giving him his weapons whatever don't be that excited don't be that excited all it's doing is pushing it out a little pushing out history a little further now you don't think America's going to be taken down to its knees the whole story is the biggest most powerful country in civilization in the world is taken down there his knees and then the Jews you know come out so what's the most powerful country in the world a couple of them but Still Holding On by a thread is the us so you want to be friends with Israel okay God will preserve you cuz the remember the original rules those who bless them will be blessed those who curse them will be cursed so is it any wonder that there's all these American Congress people and various possible presidents cursing Israel any Wonder we're getting towards the end and so all these nations who are forgetting those lines in the Torah that whoever blesses us will be blessed whoever curses us will be cursed this is what I say by the way when I get anti-semitic comments on the street doesn't happen too often but it's happened a few times I always just say to him whoever blesses us will be blessed whoever curses us will be cursed you it's your own faith bro sealed your own fate so you know if America wants to keep Lessing us so it'll push things out a little further for them but if you know history I doubt it's going to stay this way if you know the history of the Jewish people I don't think we're going to finish with like one friendly wolf remember we're sheep among 70 wolves we're not going to have one wolf with like a little Bonnet you know a wolf in a Bonet it's a wolf it's like it gets a little closer to the Sheep but you know it's not going to become friends with the Sheep so chances are you know we're in we're in for we're in for a very extremely special ride coming up and it's our job now is to be the amula we got to be that Nation we got to be the treasured Nation we got to be those people that God intended us to be to be that representative of Hashem in this world and and to bring Redemption uh in any way we can but in the end it's just going to be hashem's glory the whole world was only created for his glory that's it and we're just going to be the witnesses at the end question is will we make it meaning we yes the Jews will make it but will you make it no promise individually so let's do our best each one of us to be the holiest Jew anyone ever met people should see on a weekday and say good chabas no better compliment than being seen on a weekday and someone says just good Travis and then realize oh it's not Chavis that's you should be that Holy and people accidentally say good chavas you in the middle of the week thank you very much everyone thanks for coming we're going to be doing this every day Thursday is going to be the last day of me I don't know if they'll do someone else next week but Thursday going be last day meet just because I got to be in Lakewood um I'm just there I'm not missing chabas I like shabas in yam so I'm doing shabas here flying Mo shabas I'm can fly back Arab shabas so I'm just I'm not here just Sunday through Thursday of next week but we're going to be doing this every day this week every class will be its Standalone experience and uh and I don't mind leaving the class up to you if you want to come in with the title with the subject with the question that'll be the class and I can move mine to the next day because I'm I'm here for you I'm not here for me um and uh and we'll get started that that next week on Sunday it's going to be Sunday through Thursday every day of the week unless I am out the country Shalom everyone it's a pleasure thank you
