[Music] gentleman welcome to practical spirituality here in Asia tour in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the western wall who created God who created God when so I get kids asking that question who create a garden every once in a while I get an adult asking that question for example my friend in the front row who who said well you know we can work out that we were all created and everything you can look at came from you know the tree came from the seed and and you came from the seed and we can go all the way back that way so maybe you know who created God and the answer to that is that that when you asked the very question of who created something requires there to be something when we're talking about God we're talking about nothing thank you James we're equally at the same time talking about everything but you're going way more Kabbalistic than I am right now I'm building slow for sure the nothing's everything but that's way that's way down this logic way down the logic now meaning down that it's gonna be way further along so so god is not a thing and this is just on a practical level this is why it's a couple things are ridiculous like for example religions making a big deal about God religions being religions making a big deal about God is is you know like it's not a thing to be making a big deal out of it doesn't make sense to have your gratitude towards it yes for sure but creating religions around it for sure not no don't make a religion around around God should you have your day organized around it yes it's creating you for sure organize your day organize your life around it it will be the central principle that will write your world as opposed to make it topsy-turvy I mean it is the one stable foundation of all reality is that is that this world's coming into existence via some kind of being and I use that name carefully being consider you have being it's made of being but but your being is a little different than his being you're beings made of consciousness and his being made your consciousness but it you can't make consciousness which is really interesting that you all have something you can't make how did you get something you can't make you ever thought about that you have consciousness I've never met even the biggest atheist in the world will it admit that he's conscious and yet no one can make consciousness so how do you have something that can't be made you know bodies can be made that we can trace you know we might have a little more trouble with the very first body in the world but but bodies bodies we commit you know what I realized I think with my live feed and nothing I'm miked up is that I'm less conversational because James I totally want to interact with you but then I'm realizing it's just gonna be a pause on the audio let me see what I do you know what we'll do anyone who has to anything to say will raise your hand that way I know where I'll get to the right spot and then I'll repeat even what you say into the microphone so they so they know what we're saying but I'm going back to let's get back on track here also I'm having mercy on my editors because my media Club pays you know quite a bit to a guy who sits there and edits and this is all him editing right now so so it's not something you want to really necessarily get a religion around and and and also don't forget it's nothing so like good luck forming a religion around nothing so you can't so what are you gonna have to do you're gonna have to make it into something and now you're gonna personify it and now you're going to have to make up all kinds of stuff like like you know if you're really uncool you'll make deals and unfair deals cuz the only way you get to find out whether you win or lose the deals you have to die you know like after life foot let's add after life if you think how many how many religions out there you think the very first class you go to you have a class on afterlife how much you think they mention afterlife and they'll probably mention a lot a lot and yeah yeah they you can't beat them on that one but here listen oh unfair that is you know unfair that is that's so unfair that you're playing on people's biggest fear and what is people's biggest fear besides public speaking yeah like that's not fair if you like going into a car dealer who says like yeah boy a Volvo because our brake systems really great and let me just tell you what would happen to you and he's standing there with like his wife and kids let me just tell you what would happen to your wife and kids in a Nissan listen to the following scenario you know you just be like is there another salesman here selling Volvo's because this guy's going for the jugular a little too quick meanwhile you got people like I don't know how long you guys been around how long you been learning Torah fancy yeah you're like how many classes have you been to where there was an even an hour dedicated to the afterlife no this guy's born and raised in Torah community no one's mentioned like no cuz there ain't a NAT not cuz they're eight sorry not because there isn't an avid it's because it'd be very presumptuous to start talking about who you to talk about what what you don't know you know and then to wield it as an a giant anvil over the heads of lower IQ people usually who are scared to death of death we have a joke in my house that I don't know what happened but someone is one of the kids said like you know something someone had done something wrong that like would make them in a lot of trouble in the next world and I said well when you die God's gonna kill you anyway we were scared to death of death and in the just not fair and that's not that way we don't mention we don't mention it because it's not true it's not true to start pontificating about the stuff you don't know about certainly it's not nice to mention it to people who might be kind of adhering to the stuff you're talking about because god forbid you're right and they die and get this thing they're gonna get you know anyway we're talking about a being when we talk God we're talking about a being I do mine young man just sliding a little cuz I realize that you're right in front of this camera and I feel like I'm missing you how's that is that better we're talking about a being that's not made of anything it's not something so it's not a discussion of it being created because the only thing that can be created has to have previously not existed and now it does exist which means now that it does exist it has existence visa vie it's non existence and therefore it's got an edge and it's got a beginning well things that ever generally you know take up time and space the second you say it began it's got to take up some kind of time in space as an entity this is not a thing that takes up time in space it's not an entity and therefore it was never created nor is it made up of anything and also it doesn't exist in a realm somewhere because wherever this that wherever this ulta capital be being is wherever this capital c consciousness is that apparently has the ability to make consciousness wherever it is is not a place at all it's not in space in time it's not doesn't inhabit a place and it itself is not something which reminds me of the five-second proof of God which is that before well I'll ask you guys first and what is nothing make if you have absolutely nothing like here's a cap with nothing in it okay bottle cap nothing in it now if I sealed it off and somehow sucked the air out of it and vacuumed it and now put it away for a thousand years what would be in it after a thousand years everyone can say their word nothing placed just to wake up let's try it again one two three still miss the seminary girls one two three we would have nothing in it if we could really get everything out of it I mean I guess there would be error but let's say we suck the air out of it I don't nothing now the reason that is is because what does nothing make you can say the word again one two three what is nothing make does time help time doesn't help nothing all the time in the world will not help nothing nothing stays nothing that's just the nature of nothing now before there was something what was there nothing and this isn't like just the rabbi talking here I mean there every University has he has not every you know almost all universe it's certainly the big ones they all have a department called theoretical physics why because well it's a little hard to deal with the fact that we came from nothing that's kind of a rough fact that we come from nothing so because we know this world emerged and it emerges it's an expanding universe it's the space-time continuum which means it's continuing from nothing so it started from nothing that is a fact everyone holds that way that it started from nothing we're in agreement with that the universities have an apartment for that very fact now you would think like what's that okay but then you then you well with him you and I grew up around the same time so they taught us Big Bang Theory but did you notice that none of the kids in class said where did that small thing come from no no kid asked that and the teachers happy no kid asset who made the small thing now another question is let's just say that the teacher says the small thing was just there which is not an answer but let's just say they said the small thing was just there so there was nothing and a small thing and I think there another but thanks for nothing but there but so you have nothing in a small thing you still need a big banger who's the big mayor right so you've got that if there was really nothing in the small thing well then it would stay nothing in the small thing not in a universe not you on your way to they you know to Starbucks you know small things don't become you on the way to Starbucks yeah you're not in there okay but here you are you know wow here we are anyway what's that been seen I think you're going on James before you walked in what do you the concept of nothing is something oh yeah nothing yeah nothing has by the way benson thinks I'm interesting that there is a concept of nothing and that's what's in this cap but then there's a whole different definition of nothing which is the absolute lack of thickness there are two very different definitions you understand there's two different there's nothing meaning there's nothing in the cab that's one definition of nothing that's a dictionary definition but then there's a whole other dictionary definition that is a totally different definition the total lack of thing our minds can't even think about that did you know that that's an amazing thing your mind can't conceive of we can conceive of the concept of a lack of thing but the lack of thing we can't conceive up the actual lack of thing which is very interesting that that's locked off to us that's pretty interesting meaning our minds are always gonna be couched in thingness our minds are couched in space and time we have been locked off from whatever nothing is and we're all locked off meaning that's even for the Psychonauts you know and the and even the the prophets like they didn't get nothing Moses himself like no prophet touched Moses Moses himself asked for a little view of the nothing and God said no man can see me and live that was the answer no man can see me live which is a strange answer what does that mean is it like if I tell you I gotta kill you what does he mean right there like what does that mean no man can see me let me what are you saying there I'm just gonna show you the Kabbalistic explanation is is that if you saw you the only reason you exist is because I've removed me from you I'm gonna sin again the only reason you exist because I've removed some of me so to speak because you're also him or it right now we're definitely it not him so because I removed some of myself so to speak there's a you so if you're asking to see the true nothingness that I am well you would have to not exist so no man can see me and live yet but you get the translation on that now it's pretty interesting to understand that day you know you cuz I I get kids in this class maybe this young lady with a question I get kids in this class were like yeah God like I do your will if you just kind of make yourself a little more clear and but from a Kabbalistic perspective it's like I don't think you want God being a little more clear God meaning a little more clear would be a heavy loss of autonomy and I don't think anyone wants to lose that you want to lose your autonomy you want to lose your sense of self you know that's high level stuff losing sense itself you gotta be pretty heavy dude listen sell so it's funny all the people with like they're waiting for God's message you know it's like I don't think yeah I think God sending plenty of messages through your day-to-day life where you struggle is probably one of the strongest messages where you suffer is even stronger your interpersonal relationships is super strong messages come in all the time you're getting a ton of feedback all of this anyway is a digital simulation so your family members that you most have to work things out with are just God sending you your messages for this particular lifetime if you're Jewish it's a little more complicated because we got a couple more jobs yes what what's not God nothing's not a person is is just a temple physically and a temple that houses a soul which is your closest Lee related to your consciousness your just pure consciousness with a bunch of molecules bumping energy it's part of God it's just part of God but yours is wrapped up no offense in female what number kid are you third kid me too and that's a certain story comes with being three which a nice story usually if there are more kids after us yeah and it's a nice story to be the third cake because the first kid the parents think oh we finally have a kid now we're gonna teach it everything we ever wanted to teach and then of course it doesn't work out at all so they have a second kid and they say well well I guess we'll try the opposite third kid they actually give up and start parenting the child itself yeah so you actually get parented kids by the time you're the third kid which is why I believe which is why I believe that God God said be fruitful and multiply meaning he didn't say use birth control and have to he said be fruitful multiply why because the first two children of every family are pure experiments they're pure experiments and you can't populate humanity with experiments otherwise you wind up things with like nihilistic atheist left-wing you know identity politics people pushing their their stuff on everybody you know you can't have you can't have the world populated by experiments my first two kids are like they're like okay you know they're there you know but then there's like six other well parented children you know that's gonna be the population not these first two wingnuts you know no offense if you're no offense if you're like the firstborn of the second one Israel's even worse because meaning secular as well as even worse because they populate the country with experiments and they probably the country with meaning the secular Israelis who get married I mean a lot of them don't get married in but those who marry populate the world with experiments and if one of those experiments is a woman a girl she coat she's on the battlefield I mean she's seeing stupid stuff that that you want as few people in the world seeing if they're gonna be raising a generation of people it's really important to protect the the protectors of children you want to protect the protectors of the children so that you have a sane generation you know you gotta have a sane generation growing up in every society generally societies only as women when it was when it was do or die meaning if we're gonna lose it all so they're part of this battle if we're not gonna lose it all protect the protectors of the next generation we got to have someone who hasn't seen this stuff you see there and and we're done I mean it's like a double whammy in Israel who's raising these kids you know not to mention the media's absolute repudiation of prophecy you know are we have a government and immediate that that repudiates prophecy it's we have this like large population who live only according to prophecy like our lives are just prophecy you know like so this prophecy Shabbat prophecy kosher prophecy like everything we do is because of prophecy why are we in this land why don't we go to Uganda ISM prophecy so this is the land of our heritage what heritage the heritage of the prophets that taught us how to live our lives and so we are just walking prophetic people we don't necessarily have personal prophecy but our lives are completely aligned and arranged around it's totally organized around prophecy while the ruling of the the rulers of the media and the rulers of the government and the rulers of the law the Supreme Court the Israeli Supreme Court I think only two judges according to Jewish law would even be kosher to give testimony that they saw a fender-bender on their way to work judges who are in charge of the actual laws of our country I think there's only two judges on the Supreme Court who would be kosher testimony to say they saw a fender-bender on their way to work meaning according to our traditions our ancestry our pride of being the children of this prophetic you know inheritance it's like there's rules of what it takes to be a judge you can't just get up there did you know what it took to be a judge you know you had to know Torah inside and out you had to be of the highest calibre publicly and privately in someone who keeps that the that Torah you had to know you had to be married you have kids you have to have all the length you had to be male you had to be you had know all the languages of every nation on earth you could not become a judge so you knew all 70 languages because you're not allowed to try anyone in translation you have to know the mother tongue of those people you and this was a court of 71 elders it had to be a odd number 71 elders and and you also had a you house you didn't have to know this but they also knew languages of birds you know like the Amazon people know that all that stuff you had to know all stuff in the language of birds you also have no all witchcraft or other animals as well we have a whole book of the languages called Park Sharon talks about the main phrases that animals are saying deep down when they make their sounds and great Kabbalistic work called Parekh Shira and you also had to know you had know all the dark side ya know all black magic all witchcraft all idolatry but inside now because you can't try the case if you don't know it inside now and then you and then where'd you get to sit you sat on the temple now if you look out that window you'll see the al-aqsa mosque where on Fridays eighty thousand Muslims put their rear ends up to the Holy of Holies yeah because Jerusalem's one of their holy sites even though it doesn't say that anywhere in any of their books but apparently Jerusalem suddenly hit one of their top holy sites in some kind of revisionist history of you know basically anti-zionism and eighty thousand Arabs every Friday put their behinds up to the Holy of Holies right in that corner well that mosque was actually a giant round building on the Temple Mount where those 71 elders sat so does that sound like separation of church and state not really no and why you want to close that window and why why don't we separate church and state hey that sounds so an American that's separating church and state of course we don't separate surgeons state because we're talking about laws with water laws with laws have to with values laws have to and moral choices that human beings make and judges adjudicate human beings make moral decisions and courts make courts have to deal with that and give adjudication on the moral choices of humanity who where does morality come from where does that come from and the answer is that it comes from the fact that the Torah teaches us that first of all human beings are created things they're created and they're creating the image of God which gives you rights now of course it close and or some other windows up and maybe dragon check the lock just check it see if it locked so just pull it see if it locked no it didn't yeah there you go yeah I'm rewinding a little bit especially for my poor editors they're not poor they're beautiful it's just I hate giving them more work while I'm talking about that please join the media club yom tov media club.com yom tov media club.com pays for equipment editing and social work social media at work so please join that it's worth even it's it's all set and forget it's like 10 bucks set and forget that's it i'm looking for a thousand set it forgets and we're done ten bucks so so i'd appreciate that support and it also gives me a special feeling in my heart to keep pumping this out now we don't separate church and state because state is the laws meaning that's that's that's the rules and rules are morality and morality is choices of wrong and right well where did that come from and the answer is it came from the fact that we are created in the image of god well if you're creating the image of god that well that gives you certain rights that should be protected now the truth is that even if you were atheist you would still want your rights protected for sure you'd still want your rights protected but but if you it wouldn't stand up philosophically because you're just a bunch of molecules bumping into each other and so since just cuz his molecules like just like destroyed your front lawn you know when his when his uh his bulldozer went out of control you know his molecules destroyed your front molecules and you know like you'd have a hard time as an atheist explaining why he owes you anything but but i think we all like deep down feel like hey you know you ruined your front lawn so like you know he should pay for your front lawn but but we when you go down the rabbit hole it really come boils down to the fact that no actually this person's a godly person with rights to his front lawn because there's godliness here in all people and not only in all people but in animals and in everything because it's all part of the creation and therefore tread lightly here and and and organize your moral perceptions around that and then you there are consequences and and unique courts to protect people to meaning to protect people's rights and and here's the funniest thing is you all take courts so for granted like right you guys grew up thinking that you know someone steps on you hard enough you get to take them to court but anyone here want to tell me how long courts have been around where you could actually take someone to court how long has has a renter had the rights to take their landlord a card how long did you know right landlords over a hundred years little over a hundred years ago could put you in jail indefinitely for not paying rent they were called debtors prisons there was no court and not only that but there were no courts for anything else for that matter courts are kind of a new kid on the block and everyone just would love to vilify the Jews and and you know they love to vilify the Jews who were the actual originerd or originators of any legal system and we are that legal system and now you want to know I was at a swearing of a lawyer in in Los Angeles and I went in for see inviting me one his rabbi at this morning so I go in and I sit down there and there and the judge there in Beverly Hills court judge Fox I think his name was he says so you brought your rabbi and so I'm also a lawyer he says Oh rabbi annulled her and I'm like well what do you think I do I'll be like what are you doing they said well I studied the Talmud and where do you think you got it and he looks at me he says Touche you're a lawyer and so and so that's where they got it the laws of the courts when you go to court it's all Tom Utica law that's the precedents that they're going now they have their own precedents laws because every time there's new presidents they have more law but but the whole foundation of all laws tell me to go on when you go to any court anywhere and you well we could go to a court probably in last hundred fifty years I think maybe less I'm giving it extra years I think do you know the history of Western countries having courts few hundred years yeah who got to get that protection of the court right now what do you think in Judaism you think there's a access to court is limited any time in the last three thousand three hundred and thirty one years fulton enter was for specific stuff yeah then there was this when there was a court of thirty of thirty one and then a court of three which is four you know simpler things yeah based now that was on the Temple Mount because that's where it all stems from everything comes from there now by the way I'm not against the separation of church and state in places like United States for example because you know who knows where that's going yeah wrong church brats you know you know who knows where that is going so you have actually separated but uh but Israel itself the Land of Israel having a separation of church and state know these are our ancestral lands it is our ancestral heritage you know it may imagine the way I like to say it is like this imagine a Chinese group of judges are on a world tour to go check out the judicial systems of all the different countries and they decided to save because they knew our judicial systems the foundation above them all they're saving Israel for last and so the judges come to Israel they're met at the airport with a and you know and some gifts and they of course you got a whole everyone off to yad vashem because you know that's why the state thinks we deserve to be here is because of anti-semitism and we need a safe haven which is like sleek ha you know sorry no we actually are part of a long heritage of prophetic people from this land and we've also had contiguous continuous presence here the entire time though it got very small at times but it's always been here and this has always been our homeland we don't need Yad Vashem for that thank you very much but the anyway but eventually they were given know that where they want to go which was the Supreme Court when they get to the Supreme Court you see all that all the Chinese judges whispering in their hand clamoring and they don't know what's the Jews don't know what's going on and they're like the whispering like they're pointing theirs and now they're going to the leader of all the judges who got them on the tour and they're like what's going on here and then they they whispering again and whispering in and sing there's only two judges wearing yarmulkes anyway finally they're Israelis realize there's something wrong here they're not coming to sit down so they go over and talk to the leader over there and he's like sorry there's just like we're having a little mutiny here they're just wondering what's going on here I mean that you break your own rules like how could the supreme court judges be judges that can't sit on the as a judge and and then of course the Israeli is like what are you talking about and they're like well aren't isn't this the Land of Israel I mean they're pointing on the wall there's probably like a menorah up there and like a the semolo the symbol of Israel ISM this is an Israel and like it is Israel but we separate church and state here and the Chinese would look at them and go why you taught the whole world you taught the entire world from your Tara what's right and wrong like all our courts are based on you anyway together must sit down and they open up the law books and they find that that most interpersonal law in Israel's British and most real estate laws Turkish which is really bad words it's like playing three trees at your land sorry that's not how it works in Torah can't you start planting trees and take over land that's cute maybe it works well in Turkey but it doesn't work well in our torah and and then finally the Chinese are just looking at them like you are a country with an identity crisis anyway by the way all of this discussion you can just leave this discussion here because while we're sitting here this hour it's the majority of births will be the people of the prophecy and in 30 years from now this will be a non discussion because the people living in the Land of Israel 30 years from now will be from the prophecies though the people who live the prophecies and and please God the only thing you can pray for is that it's a gentle and congenial transition which would be very easy to do with a parliament because Parliament's are based on on constituency and so that should go smoothly because as the constituency builds you know but but I do have to say that the prophetic people you know since I'm ranting today the prophetic people are and an hour an abject embarrassment that if you gave them if you gave them all the seats they would ever want they would just rip them into a thousand pieces because they would not be able to just they would not be able to agree on anything anyway and we we just we get nowhere with that it would not be helpful if the observant Jews got their seats they all they would do is just great more parties and rip each other to shreds so we and we have had opportunity opportunity election after election plenty of opportunity to actually show the Gentiles and the secular Israelis that we actually feel some things are more important than others like meaning meaning there are some values as being the people of the prophecy that are more important than our divisive petty understand the minutia the petty discrepancies differences we should all be completely banded together choose 10 seats that we would offer mix them up amongst the Yemenites and this party in the Ashkenazi and you know until everyone just shut up shut up we have a chance to show the world that we actually can agree what I think it has to do with it usually has to do with money you know there's a there's only so much of the pie of tax dollars and people are thinking about their constituents and they want their slices in a way that would be negated slices of others that's the only thing I can think of I don't know enough about politics but I'm guessing that it's how you slice up the money that's usually how things go so and why not agree on population you know just let me whoever's got the biggest population will get a little bigger next buys you a little less there's a little less than let's just make one party called the God party you know why can't we have a god party here instead of a horrible humiliation every election and I was embarrassing I'm personally embarrassed every time we're in your elections again and I'm hanging out with my secular friends my Israeli friends I'm just like hey look at me like you guys can't get your acts together man like what is going on I'm like oh that's me I'm I'm a dolly I you know I don't know what's going on in Israeli palms so I forget what this classroom about oh yeah I remember who created God who created God so anyway I was let's just finish with that proof the five second proof of God before there was something there was nothing in since nothing makes nothing in now that there's something it must be that nothing was God okay that's the five second proof of God before there was something there was I say it again quickly before there was something there was nothing and before there was something there was nothing in since nothing like nothing now that there's something in must mean nothing was God okay before there was something there was and since makes and now that there's something it must be that the nothing was God before there was something there was nothing in since nothing makes nothing another there's something it must be nothing was God which is an incontrovertible proof of God the university has departments for this like they can't take it why can't they take it why do they build those departments I mean think about those departments like what are they exactly expecting theoretical physicists to discover and with what instruments that measure things outside space and time the only thing instrument I've ever found that measures something outside space and time is a magic mushroom okay there's not there's no instrument a measure that measures something outside space and time so what are they supposed to be doing all day and the answer is right in the name theoretical physics theorizing so we'll just let them fiour eyes why because we can't live with ourselves if nothing if there's really nothing I mean we all agree there's nothing all the Kabbalists say for sure there's nothing all the physicists say there's for sure nothing but they can't live with that and so they spend their time staring at their bellybutton theorizing about what that nothing could be instead of nothing because it's just too hard to deal with that it could be God god forbid it's God shell everyone I'm running my seminar this week I have fliers here and there's probably gonna be the last possible you this week this winter in the center in the in the program I've been running this is my 19th year I've 9,000 graduates people fly in from all over the

embarrassment or any failures or any of this that or the other but unfortunately when it's so on task it it actually will will numb the rest of your brains network which is where all the genius of a human being is in all their consciousness which connects to God so the possible--you is going on all hand out some flyers this is a men's seminar this in Israel I only do men's I'll do women's the
