this moment so we're going to go straight to questions uh so we got Michael over here go ahead Michael what do you got uh I was going to ask is there any cabalistic or spiritually is there any connection between physical pain and like a one spiritual state is it possible to cure a physical thing through spiritual work uh I hear what you're saying and you mean specifically spiritual not just emotional but or emotional yeah or emotional I think you know the answer to that emotional I guess you could but yeah so spiritually fixing things um so yeah that's a very good question I think a lot of people um I I think a lot of people do we do and the question is oh I'm miked up oh man damn maybe I'll take off the mic oh I'll keep it on for my answer the the question is uh do we have uh is there a spiritual way to heal physical things and we have a ition that the 613 Commandments which breaks into 365 don't dos and 248 dos and they're connected to the 365 Limbs and organs of the body and the 248 connective tissues like uh you know all the connective stuff in your body 248 and and so it is brought down cabalistic that you can heal a certain part of your body by focusing on that particular particular commandment meaning it could be someone's doing something they're not supposed to be doing eating something they're not supposed to be eating and that could heal the heal the body um there's also do we know which ones correspond to which ones um I think there are some lists uh maybe Google uh Google it on your phone uh after your question see if you find something let us know if there's a if you can find a list online um but there's also praying praying in general for healing you know there's there's been a lot of prayers for for healing where Miracles happened and prayer prayer has a way of doing things I know one thing it's not a physical thing but I've known several people with federal court cases against them who were Jewish and they they were not observant and they had been advised to become fully observant like now and the cases were dropped each meaning I know I don't each one I know about their case was dropped when they became fully observant and I got to be like involved in some of those situations and I was trying to help a guy you know it's like ferally stuck oh I had a guy come to my house fall into my arms crying and saying he'll never have children he just got back from the biopsy meeting you know the meeting with the doctor and he had uh he had testicular cancer and and that they were going to have to remove his testes and there was not going to be any children and this guy was like ruined you know and I said to him do me a favor call the doctor and ask him if he'll give you another biopsy he says he calls the doctor he says can I have another biopsy and like I asked him to give it a few weeks like a month and also would there be danger of spread in one month so the doctor said wouldn't be a danger of spread in one month and you'll have to pay for the biopsy privately because your insurance isn't going to pay for it because you already got back the malignant you know that the that it was malignant and um and so he puts down the phone and I said to the guy I said you are now officially an observant Jew what I said yeah you put on filling you put three times a day you eat kosher are you dating a gentile he says I'm almost engaged to a gentile and I'm like call her right now I hand him his phone his phone was on the give him his phone I said call her and break it off he called her and broke it off caller broke it off I said is there a kabad anywhere near your house you know mean he needs some support like how he's going to do this he's like yeah there's aad near my house so he saidabad Rabbi near your house and let's get going anyway you can imagine the end of the story today thank God he's he's an observant kadik he's married with three kids married a Persian girl he's like a total ashkanazi guy married a la Persian girl and has three kids which is amazing so so you can definitely heal things spiritually I think it gets more uh difficult when you're already fully observant so it's like what do you fix exactly what do you know so emotionally much of much of physical disease is an emotional disease a lack of ease emotionally and if you focus in on that if you go you can actually go through like literally like diving dive into that body part and let it open up into your pain you know just like Dive Right into that body part and open it up to the pain of that's there most people go to someone for this I'm I'm trained in this this is somatic healing and the possib seminar there's a lot of somatic healing um I actually created the whole seminar based on my own digestive issues that was like you know I was at the end like I couldn't eat anymore and I healed my digestion and kind of founded the seminar off that so cool okay thank you Michael um let's hit our next question your name Sly Sly you're on how are we supposed to have a fear relationship with a God who fear fear whatever you have you reward it before Oh you said fair I forget East Coasters say fear like you don't care for someone you care for him and you're scared you think fear is uh being afraid of God which you also have to um you meant Fair has like a a fair relationship with someone so powerful so in control yeah running the show uh yeah what kind of relationship is that like imagine being in a personal relationship with someone and loving them while they're controlling everything I'd run for my life I would run for my life right so uh um um please if anyone's on the comments those two people on the live if you can send a comment please um whether you're back on this mic here if I unplug and the other mic worked well when he spoke so if you can send a yes that you heard both him and me that's all I need to know just a yes and if the answer is no tell me what's going on okay so um really a great legit question because if it was a human being you'd never be in relationship with someone who was overpowering you and in this particular case we've got a being that's all powerful I think it's a little different with God in that the um in that he's he lays off for the most part you know he's not he may be all powerful but he's not overpowering you at any point now you may know too much it's really meaning you may know like oh my gosh like God means business I've learned enough to to know that I am overpowered mean he is overpowering me because I because there I don't want to I don't want to suffer the consequences of having gone against him and which is probably what you mean because he is totally hands off is God doing anything to you right now can you turn your heart to him and say I love you like I'm going into nature with I have a Kusa nature in at 2 o00 today in another 20 minutes and I'm gonna be sending love up straight from here right to God like in there because he's hands off he's just it's just beautiful it's green it's sunny it's warm we have a beautiful day today and I'm going to be in love over there I'm not being overpowered but once you include the fact that we know that you better you better keep the Torah or else and now we got to love him it's like is so I met imagine that's what you mean because is that what you mean cuz he has hands off I mean you can the world does the world really look different to you when you walk down the street next to some guy who who's an atheist you're both in a hands off moment so we make that extra move you know he just walks down the street he's walking down the street atheist guy walking down the street we make the extra we we're the ones making an extra move saying God's walking me down the street you understand that's an extra move we're making and um so there's no problem with loving God in the hands-off mode but loving God when you know that he set out the rules this is a clear prescription what we're supposed to be doing and um he didn't offer me a lot of choice in this matter you know I'm born Jewish like what am I supposed to do like I got to get to work I guess and you know keep the to and the so how do I love him and is it fair really so I think from that perspective y what's up I think from that that perspective we could say it's not fair he's going to from that perspective we could say it's not fair and I think the the analogy of our parents you know our parents how fair is that and kids love their parents kids are crazy about their parents meaning little kids they love their parents their parents are like there's not a ton of Free Will going on over there and and yet the kids love their parents it's not fair it's not like kids have any choice in the matter they were born into the house you know but they love their parents so so I would say you could have love even if it's not fair but the but the question's pretty clear I think you're right about that yeah please we don't deserve to be alive meaning like we didn't do anything to deserve this supp CH know wee everything so like take the gift is a gift of love that you're here yeah well that that wouldn't be very helpful um regarding all the uh suffering that people have you know a lot of a lot of suffering without suffering you grow without suffering you don't grow but the suffering hurts you know it's hard to love God when you're going through stuff yeah okay what's your question name and question and question is is every is experiencing life but it's actually God experience in human form what's the question is am I experiencing am I God experiencing life in a human form excellent question yet God experiencing life in a human form you're but that's a very cabalistic perspective but a very real perspective [Music] and the fact is is you you're not aware at all of you're not aware of of uh of God doing that through you you're having your own free will experience so it's like but on this ultimate high cabalistic level it's God I don't know somehow enjoying himself through you it's good meditation stuff to realize that you're just God in um it's quite interesting when you meaning not you can do anything for God but when you do something for God you know like let's say you're going to pray because you're supposed to and you like to do that for God or you or you can do some other commandment you you can do something good deed for God is a funny thing doing something for God but he's an interest in God if if you could do something against him that's pretty interesting God like but and it's and so for God it's only meaningful to choose to do something for God if you had a equal and opposite pull the other way how it's not interesting to do something for God unless you won't have opposite inclination to go away from God right so God created both sides right oh he created for sure both sides for sure he created and we yeah but but once you really realize that this is just God doing for God so you it makes it less interesting to do the wrong thing because it's just my Reby gave a good analogy well you can judge whether you like the analogy um but the the analogy is like this the um that there was a kid who's U there was an old lady in this neighborhood who the kid would go to her house and she would always have fresh baked cookies for him and one day she got too old and he went to knock on the door day and she says listen sunny I uh I'm just too old to make cookies my hand can't need the dough I just can't do it and uh went home crying and his mother said I got an idea she said I'm going to make the dough you jump over the fence sneak the cookies into her fridge she'll take the cookies she'll take the cookies she'll open her fridge she's going to see a a cookie pan full of cookies she's going to bake them and you come to the door so the kid early that morning jumped over the fence the lady put the tray of cookies into the uh into the fridge ran out went to school and then on his way back after he got home he went straight to the house and there's the big cookies and then they just kept going like that the up older and older so so this kid's the one baking all the cookies meaning they they're baking the cookies and eating them you know and they're just giving this lady a chance to put them out and that's our role on a very high cabalistic level our service of God is baking is him baking cookies that while we have the sense that we're the ones providing the cookies to the to Hashem you understand okay we got one more question you're on what's upab go ahead Gabi I'm a different question before switching out that's okay okay so um yeah kind of what you're saying our work is to like make us we have to work hard in this world we have to learn and and do all these things um ultimately kind of just get close to hasem to to hasem so actually my question is if it kind of at the end of the day doing all this hard work and we kind of going to circle just be close to hem just to realize it's all from hm to have a good relationship with hem why do we need all these in between work hard steps why can I just relax rely on hasem and like Life's good and not have a close relationship to him I have to go through all this all this life life stuff [Music] question and someone had a question online was uh was God bored um I'll answer both those questions with shim's help so your question we actually dealt with yesterday here and that was that the this whole illusion this doesn't even exist no time's passing you're not getting older right now you're your your your whole entire life from birth to death no time will have passed because there's no such thing as time time's a creation we're inside a illusion this is a giant bubble we're in and and time time doesn't actually exist but while you're in this illusion your your efforts that you put in when you pop out of this illusion the re world and you go into the real world which is this was yesterday's class which just vibration um actual Deus like vibrational resonance there when you get to that world you're actually going to be in a much more powerful vibrational resonance when you get up there than you were before you came down here and it's the work you're doing down here that does it this is why they have a saying someone who works before Shabbat meaning cooking will eat on Shabbat you don't cook before Shabbat you're not allowed to cook on Shabbat so you're not going to what are you going to eat on Shabbat you're not going to have any food so this world is considered the weak days and the next World meaning where the vibrational world that's causing this world is where you eat so to speak and all the stuff you're doing in this world is just like gaining a greater vibrational resonance in that world when you get up there so this other person asked is God bored which is a great question no one ever asked that question you know like God had absolutely no need to create the world he exists in undifferentiated Oneness let him just be God you know like what does he need from anything now what I'm about to say may sound a little heretical but um does God matter if all there is is God does it matter not that he needs to matter but I'm saying does he matter God doesn't need to matter he is matter does God matter in a world where there's nothing but God you hear the question I believe the answer is no he doesn't matter matter meaning there's God and it don't matter at all there's absolutely no difference that it makes that there's a god without God having created something that at least looks separate to God at which point God really matters like oh my gosh does God matter down here you know like God totally matters wanted to matter no no he didn't want we don't know what he wants see we he doesn't have wants no needs no wants meaning normally there's only two ways to find out what someone wants you see a guy walking down the street there's two ways to figure it out either follow him you know if he goes to the DMV you know he wants a driver's license if he goes to the ice cream store you know what he wants you know and the other way is you interview him well none of us have ever gotten a chance to interview God so we don't know what he wanted from that all we have left is to follow him okay so I follow him and I get to this world boom whoa what does he want okay well I've been given a conscience so he and I have things that I realize I should do and there's things I realize I shouldn't do and obviously our conscience is informed by Torah but whatever societ in your conscience is informed by other things the Nazis were informed by what they thought was right which was you know what the Torah calls evil so it's quite arbitrary unless Torah is true true if Tor is true it's not arbitrary at all and uh although uh Jordan Peterson says that that uh you can know there is good without being true because he's more of an atheist type what huh um yeah because you because he said what well why don't I just study what is absolute what is for sure evil and if I can figure out what's for sure evil then I know good El say it like him good good is good is not that I can't speak like Jordan f i if I could I could do voiceovers for Kermit the Frog so anyway good is not that so he said I can definitely figure out that there's for sure evil so good is not that and um and the but but even that's a little theoretical once you know Torah is real we know what good is and and you could say that this whole world would be a six that whoever God is he has a SI sense of humor if he weren't going to give us AA because to put everyone with a conscience that nags you and has there's a voice that's against you you know like what kind of what kind of creature are we birds don't have a voice against them okay dogs don't have a voice against them fish don't have a voice against them Lions don't have a voice against them we have a voice inside that says you're an idiot for having just done that and every person there's no person without it me you have a voice that says don't do that whatever that is and so the and so oh my gosh I forgot what I was what was the our subject God Bo oh was God Bo oh you know how do we know what why God created the world was he bored you know so you follow him to this world which is a totally legit way to figure out what someone wants and you follow him to this world and I'll tell you the truth it's a scary thing to discover what he wants not scary but just kind of philosophically scary but what what he wants is to be Rec period how do you say the first the whole world was made only for him being recognized by human beings who have the free will to yes recognize or not as Jonathan saxs uh zal said of uh he said the only free will you have in this world is whether to have God in your heart that's the only free will you have whether to have God in your heart very deep deep when you hear it and feel it that you can choose everything else is like this is God serving himself cookies here and you got Choice um I mean you have an an illusion of choice that was yesterday's CA I'm not going back to that um the so if you follow him to Creation you have human beings billions of them each one with conscience and and so God clearly wants us choosing and what are we choosing we're choosing between away from and toward God away from and toward God God that's what you're choosing in other words I'm going to recognize God and move toward or I'm going to not recognize God and move away and so I can know that God wanted to be recognized but we have another hint since we know Torah is true is the Egyptian Miracles the 10 plagues God clearly wanted Egypt to recognize they I mean what was Egypt at the time the whole world had sold itself into slavery during the seven years of famine Egypt was civilization and then God just builds up the civilization with Joseph you know and then you know and then makes the civilization completely civilization because it like took over the world with uh during a famine because it was the only place that had stored food and god notice God specifically what do you think Joseph only told the king he only told pharaoh to save food for seven years while there was seven year of plenty he told everyone to but what happened when it was when the first when the famine started everyone went in their Storehouse and what they discover that all the grain had rotted what do you think did that God did that why because of all the grain rotted that means there's only one place to get grain in Pharaoh's Storehouse which means first they sold they gave their money then they gave their stuff then they gave their land and then they gave their bodies sold I mean civilization all gathered around this one powerful structure called pharaoh and his kingdom and then God through the 10 plagues which is the 10 utterances of creation because the whole world was created you ever wonder the connection between the 10 utterances that God created the world and the 10 plagues is that the God who created the world to be recognized via the 10 utterances aligned concentrated all power into Egypt and then took it down with 10 utterances 10 plagues which were you know which God uttered into creation and just took it down until the whole world was like hashem's God Hashem who H now do you think he changed the game now for us you think it's new rules new uh new plot what do you guys think you think God changed the plot well we he definitely did not change the plot same plot difference being that instead of it being a localized Redemption cuz you know in those days if you were in if you were if you were living in the Amazon jungle you knew nothing about this plot totally changed now and also our sages say that the whole Egyptian story Jews in Egypt and The Exodus and the T plagues all that that whole story is going to repeat itself but instead of just a localized one there's going to be a planetary one yeah the final one the Messianic one will be with the whole planet and it gets its power do you know when my kids get to LAX and we're going down the conveyor thing or whatever you call it escalator there's a big sign that says welcome to I think it says welcome to Los Angeles maybe and so my you know my kids say every time they say welcome to Los Angeles where nothing matters my wife and I looked at each other were like what you know and that's kind of become the theme in our family for our trips to visit my parents who no longer have a house and um and so you know I'm not here to say what the fires are for but but if there's any place where like God's name has not reached that edge over there if there's a place God's name hasn't been re hasn't reached yet that's La that's La I mean I could take like the most observant guy in this room and po him in LA and come back in 10 years and check you out and you just be like uh well you went there fully observant like what happened to you you know and by the way anyone who's listening to this from La who is observant you guys are like giants you know you're giants these people are giants either that or they're really boring personalities now there there's some of them too no offense obviously but uh there's plenty of plenty of these briefcase guys in the shoes over there but but you know you got to be Giant and actually the kids who were born and raised the observant kids and the K part of La that were born and raised you ever met these kids they're in all the yeshivas in New York New Jersey and Israel they're considered some of the best kids you know why because you you don't have a world around you supporting you you have to at some point in your childhood take real serious aim at at God and Torah to to get out of there alive and anyway so God just like took everybody out now if I know La if I know La it's going to make no difference which is so sad but like the plague of fire that hit Los Angeles and like literally wiped out a couple cities you know it's going to have no impact um I even to me um the uh everyone's just poor me what is suffering in a Godless world it's a poor me suffering what is suffering in a god world oh okay I thought things were going to be this way I see it's going to be that way so like how much can I suffer that you know how much you suffer that I mean obviously someone has a terrible head cult even if they're very observant they're like okay God clearly wants me to have a terrible head co they have the terrible head co and they are suffering the terrible head but suffering it without reason is the most painful give you an example guy points a gun to your head God a bit but I've had it happen guy points gun to your head and he tells you turn this crank right on the side of a wall turn this crank and you know it's doing something on the other side and you're like what's it doing over there sir and you're cranking it because you don't want to die and you're like and he won't tell you you're like listen if I'm grinding wheat for Starving Children you can take away the gun I'll keep grinding you know if I'm turning a barrel of machine gun that's killing innocent then oh my gosh I just said innocent civilians I've been like hearing the too much leftwing media and killing innocent people so the um so then I'll keep doing it without the gun if but if it's doing nothing if on the other side of this wall is just little post just spinning maybe maybe just kill me because doing nothing having no reason having no purpose having no no point to this world is the biggest suffering that's the biggest suffering and there's a lot of suffering going on in LA right now man people aren't seeing God's power right now they're seeing the power of Fire fire fire is so powerful watching a little too much about fire lately I don't know if you guys have been following but that you know first of all first 20 48 Hours was just like do my parents have a house do my parents I'm just watching you know so good morning to to KJ anyway um people watching it are hoping it doesn't burn their homes but on the other hand they're watching have you ever noticed when you're at a campfire you can't stop watching the fire you can't stop you can't stop watching even candles can do it to you if you choose to watch the candle huny cut maybe you did it but bonfire forget about it so that's just all the more so with a forest fire that's now and so you you don't want anyone to lose their homes but there's a part of you do tell me if you got this there's a part of you that's like maybe the winds are going to kick up and we're going to see some real action here you do you get what I'm talking about like it's a tempest of an energy it's a spirit it's the come from and it's the most powerful Spirit of all it's what's getting us when we fly places it gets us to the moon it's all fire it's all fire it Heats our homes it's Heats our food it's keeping us alive it's the sun is fire fire so it's like this is the key element of the creation that God put in this world and that that's a plague man because God put that there God put the spirit of fire in this world and and it's got a it can be it can rage it's got Fury and and it and and it seems to have no mercy you know I just give it something flammable and and it's and it's like we're on let's go they don't know how this right just some anyway I come on I cut out a little bit with reception so maybe the message is up to you to figure out blessings to everybody click the likes and the and the all the other stuff you're supposed to click all the best you know that those clicks
