Is gender and sex not the same thing? Why is god depicted as a male?

[Music] Shulman welcome to practical spirituality here in Asia tour in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the western wall why do we call God he why is God called he all the time and that's not like we can't pull it off and say well that's just how it sounds in English no in Hebrew it's like who no tane lehem LaJolla sir he gives sustenance to all flesh it's he he he and we always have this this masculine God it referred in in Hebrew and obviously in any translation it will always come out as he so why is that now before we answer that there's something that's really important to dispel and you know that there's a lot of things that need to be dispelled a lot of misconceptions a lot of bad mistakes that have led to you know to some of the worst of identity politics and one of those is masculine and feminine is not male and female masculine and feminine is not male and female and I even though I've been teaching this for years I finally heard Jordan Pearson say that I'm one of his podcasts and then realize oh my gosh that just really cuts to the chase masculine and feminine it's not you know I'm feeling so like there are men in here who are probably more feminine than some of the women in here but your genders female and his genders male but he's got more female than you got going lady yeah and there's probably some women in here are more masculine than feminine but she's a female with a lot of masculine masculine is something that forgive the pun engenders certain things and feminine engenders other things what do they engender well one of the things that masculine engenders is the causative so anytime you're doing something causative you're involved in the masculine which is really funny because like one of the most maternal things you can do is feed whether it be a husband a child or who are nursing a child like what could be more feminine than feeding I mean that is something that males just cannot dude for an infant it's feed but are you causing are you receiving causing is that masculine or feminine it's masculine and this goes by the way don't think it's like some rabbi up here telling you this this is every single mystical tradition for all of history every single mystical tradition for all of history talks all the time about the expanding causal and there is the contracting receiver its thinks the causal and the expander and the receiver and not only that it's everywhere you look everything you every single thing you can point at please don't start pointing is either male or female okay everything is male or female I can point it a few things and the water in the cup is masking the cup is feminine okay the I mean the bottle is just the same example is you've got the female contractive structure around the water here which will just flow yeah it's a masculine it just it's a it's causal it's just a flow that's happening the the window in this room is including this board but the window in this room is the masculine and the frame holding it is the feminine that's holding it now by the way it's really interesting our windows are transgender by the way they're transgender but why because it was once molten glass it was liquid and it went into it which flowed its way into a mold that created this window so it's transgender and then and then it got like masculinized got masculine as the frame was the feminine and by the way the frames been transgendered too because it's it was molten metal flowing into the mold of the frame but it's literally everywhere I mean look at these shelves over here and what put those things together that's all just you know it was all masculine feminist nails and tools the whole entire thing my vest just masculine feminine holding this thing together the weaves probably doing the same thing you know that if you've seen weave you know if you ever seen a a weaving I mean ISM if you've seen him weaver you know it's got all these lines of thread it makes a space of the thread and then he throws the masculine through it you know which is carrying thread through he throws that I forget what you call that little thing but he throws it through and then he presses the pedals and it goes like that and then he throws it through again he throws it through the gun and keeps tightening it to the end and that's your fabrics masculine and feminine everything's masculine feminine everything's either causal or receiving and that's it this is not a gender war it has nothing to do with males and females the masculine and feminine and it's really important to get that and once you get that then we cut to the question why is God always referred to in the masculine and the answer is very very simple I'll pause for questions in a minute it's very very simple whose cause in this place God or us gods the cause our God being the cause or automatically puts God in the masculine mystically again we're discussing not males and females were discussing the mystical masculine and the mystical masculine is the cause or of creation we're not causing we're receiving and now what does that put all of us as being in God's creation what is that including the creation what is that are we the causer or they are the receiver which one we're in the receiver and in fact Hebrew always nails it you know if you've been in other classes that I've talked about like what they how the Hebrew handles it Hebrew always handle it because the word free masculine in Hebrew is a car which literally means causal and that's why whenever we have a holiday we always say it's safe there Leigh is a hurt for something it's as a core meaning what does that mean it's as a cure for something it means that we've now hit this holiday so like things suddenly align in a certain way with the moon and the zodiac and everything line aligns and now there's a flow of something something's flowing oh we're back to the masculine right things things are flowing yeah and what's flowing the zodiacs flowing how's the zodiac flowing well if it's passed the words flowing with freedom and if it's Shabazz it's flowing with terror and if it's tissue Bob its flowing with with morning the temple and if it's if it's Russia shun its flowing with with novelty with written with and how do you say in fancy word for newness for renewal you know it's flowing with Reno and if it's Yom Kippur its flowing with forgiveness and if it's Sukkot its flowing with joy and we just finished the flow of Hanukkah which I'm not gonna go into right now but all of those are called as a hair because it's there's a certain flow to those days and that's the zodiac which is called Mazel which is means to flow liquid soap in Hebrew how do you say soap in Hebrew sub bone how do you say liquid soap some it's a bone Knowsley nose Leamas all the flowing of the zodiac is the masalas alot are the constellations that flow based on the time so masculine and feminine are happening all the time and God is in the mask on and we are all in the feminine and the word for feminine is literally the word is he in Hebrews NIC caiva which the root is neck eV and the word neck of means receptacle that the feminine receives it's something you put something in okay it's something that is the the contractive receiver of something that flows okay that is the feminine now that happens to match up pretty well to the physical male and female obviously you know that way I don't think any of you need to use your imagination as much to see that connection but that is the connection and it's an important connection now I'd like to before I open for question I just want to go onto you know it is a good time to pause but I'm gonna ask you to remind me that we're gonna talk about we're gonna talk about males and males in the feminine because what I've said is that the males are in a feminine position automatically we're the receivers of we're not the male when it comes to God so we're in time at males in the feminine in a minute question okay so if we're talking about males in there let me just go okay so males in the female so that puts all of us men automatically in feminine mode it puts us all in feminine mode visa vie God well that ain't cool ain't nobody got time for that yeah what man wants to be in the feminine mode because the feminine mode means you're just receiver you're surrendered you're a you're a receptacle for something to happen here that's the receiver mode and of course our generation of course every man things that's wonderful because you're all a bunch of women no offense guys but let's be real you know 70 years of feminism there's not much left at you that's for sure you've been dipped in it you know and take anyone here entering here race secular anyone here a second oh hey what do you know people are a secular that's a person you were a second - yeah what's your name in it really I I met you before oh my god you wanna get his mother's here step by freak out I have a very dear student from how long ago when he moved here I think it was 2007 you the dear student of mine 27 years ago like really dear student and and now I'm meeting you 22 years ago hi yeah that's why I know you you're ready for the question I didn't forget your first name Isaac Isaac between grades kindergarten through whatever till middle school how many male teachers together count them not maybe hmm you'd be the first person I ever met with two or three yeah maybe one it went down from maybe two or three to maybe one anyone else wanna share a number none yeah the gym teacher yeah okay now listen up Shh who who who are you and and oh and just one more question and this may be a little too private but Isaac where was your father all the time throughout the day just nine-to-five went with it see in the fields with you teaching you how to grow things or teaching how to weep and warp and how your father's an artist okay and the guy who had none where was your father all day well no I I didn't get very good with the statistics here but what I was looking what was the word I was looking for it begins with an O F F I see Y an office meeting not in your life that's for sure because it's since the in the industrial movement to cities and you know moving into cities he use in the office and you're busy planning how to please female since you're a little boy who are all running no because they in the end and we're not going to discuss this today and do not let me go on but they don't want that that's why you'll notice the way rabbi Nick Meyer is so tough on the girls and they just he just gets more every day to his class have you watched the way he treats the girls so anyway the by the way I don't condone that I'm just saying that's the dynamic so anyway the go back so us men and I'm going back 70 years by saying us men not you but men have an issue with God and today we could call it like that macho male guy you know like the mister man guy he's gonna have issues with God because Judaism is emasculating Judaism esc' is a castration of one's manhood because you're not the causer of reality man you're not and something bigger than you is and if you're Jewish you're expected to you know three times a day go declare his praise and ask him for everything that you want you've got a CEO ever you even if you're a CEO and you know all those office buildings in Manhattan that are you know filled with Jews so there's a mitt you know there's minions in the stairwells of these buildings like you literally walk into the stairwell you hit the first step two steps later another guy hits another guy another guy you know and once it's ten then they start a charade and you start the min clothes service I'm not kidding and the funny thing is when you go into the silent prayer you hear ten floors over you you hear them already doing a repetition ten floors below you hear Elaine Alysha bath okay the the guts of the the of midtown Manhattan is Judaism inside the actual buildings stairwells is all minions going on the whole time and and the offices that are Jewish friendly they have them in the offices in there they're you know the boardroom is is where Mincha is anyway but if you're a CEO of a fortune 500 company and you walk into that stairwell like macho man you know you know what they say to you seven who you callin cept I'm calling you seven shut up and go step on the stairwell till we get to ten you know macho men and so we can start praying it's emasculating you're not even you're not you're not even you you're you're a number you know minions so that the minion can begin and that's why our our Tallis is our prayer shawls have black lines on them because they're barcode so God knows God knows who in the world it is over there praying you're not in there man you're not even in the you're not in anything like you're not in the Russia Shana prayers the entire Rosh Hashana prayers is in the plural you're not part of that you're not in there you're not in um Kippur you're not Russian it you're not nothing you want a relationship with God that's up to you but when we do the generic moves of as Jewish men we are castrated we're emasculated by it shabbat shalom manhood it's the worst day for manhood because what is the masculine I said it's the causer well what does it mean to cause what it means to cause is to manipulate things with your will is the causer think about it what's it cause it what's the masculine and all of you and again some of you might have slipped up and started thinking about men again remember masculine has nothing to do with male so the masculine is you using your will to manipulate something well what did we do on Shabbat or what do we not do on Shabbat we don't manipulate the world in thirty-nine ways in a bunch of tributary ways like a bunch of detailed ways as well we don't manipulate matter in thirty-nine ways meaning take your take your fingers off your your CrackBerry remember blackberries take your fingers off your CrackBerry the iPhone the man phone that the you know and you mail posters know what I'm talking about okay because some people are used social media as females which means looking at news feeds and uh and and then there's and then there's real alpha males who never look at news feeds like I don't look at news if I'm looking at a news feed just that means I've hit the ultimate level of boredom and there is literally nothing less left to do on earth on earth then look at this news feed because I'll never look at a news feed but I'll post I'm posting right now I'm an Alfa poster and and I suggest for those men who are in rehabilitation for the last 70 years of feminism if you're in rehab stop looking at news feeds period just stop looking at them in this and and start posting yeah well I don't know what to post exactly I've ever have a glazier said a post so oh so yeah start posting and stop living your life in that way and by the way again this doesn't have to do with male or female I'm lady should be posting to posts in and stop watching other people's live stuff stop being a voyeur you know staring into other people's lives who can't see you anyway back to back to us is us men have to do the feminine women love Judaism they love it because you got a masculine you got a masculine causal God and we're all the receivers so we all have to wear a feminine hat in our relationship with God and if you're already female to begin with you've got a major head start over the men so you'll notice like like them in the misconception meaning in the mistaken feminist Judaism where they want to call God she they rewrite the Torah and you know make it all you know the God of Sarah the God of Rebecca they're kind of you know like they like rewrite the prayer book and you know they're doing this whole feminist reading on Judaism it's like come on man like like learn the ABC of Judaism sorry of mysticism it's not even Jewish like every mysticism in the world knows that masculinity is nothing to a male when you're talking about spirituality for sure it has nothing to do with males and it isn't and and femininity has nothing to with females but it relates and that's why Jewish men have handicapped Commandments I want to try that term handicapped Commandments try that I'm only just trying to keep you guys away it's not that important work but males have handicap Commandments where the handicap Commandments all the commandments that men do that don't do what do those commandments do for the males they basically as I said before emasculate us or get rid of the masculinity of us so that we can have a relation with God that's it that's what they do so there are certain Commandments that only men do one of those Commandments is that masculine or sorry males males want to inseminate the whole planet men want to to have as much of their mark on the world men want to to distinguish every lamppost they walk by like a dog okay it hurts every man in this room is hurt by the fact if at least if he's a man every man in this room is hurt by the fact that no one will know who you are a hundred years from now that pains us and we're gonna we're gonna ignore our wives and kids to make some stupid mark as if it's gonna like actually be remembered 100 years ago which it won't which you won't like maybe I'll luck out because I'm always filming my classes that they like people they'll use it as comedy you know 100 years from now a little bit get a load of this I have a chance maybe because of like it's enough footage like hundreds of hours of footage maybe maybe but I doubt it and and it's true too because like let's hear one of you say something that your grandmother your grandfather did a hundred years ago hey you be like in another name you probably don't you another name and if you knew their name you know anything they did you know what they I'll tell you the only way you possibly know anything about them is if they contributed something big hate cereal for breakfast and so it's painful for us men and you see that we just got to make our mark if it weren't for Queens Kings would have destroyed this place two years ago you know it's the queen who says you know maybe you've conquered enough territory and you should just like maybe count count your goal for the rest of your life you know like enough killing everybody to take over more land that maybe what someone might remember you as having been King and of course can anyone here list more than like 10 Kings in history you know unless you were literally a history PhD you probably can't and every one of those Kings caused mass destruction to you human life and and just to be remembered and and yet here we are today not remembering who they are I can't even name ten presidents and so Judaism is set up in such a way that the women because they have a head start of being female they had the chance to be in a relationship with God in a much more natural way than us men who also have this deep desire to cause and Judaism threatens us big time to take that away from us we're threatened big time of our Judaism in the feminine is the feet and females are our by the way all the commandments that men do that women don't do are also called time-bound positive Commandments it's a dash out that's a positive commandment and it has to be time bound what's the relationship of time bound so you might say well women you know what if she's pregnant what if she's giving birth that day or what if she's nursing the baby like how can you give our time bound commandment like pilgrimage to Jerusalem because three times a year we have a time bound positive commandment to come to Jerusalem but it's time that it's based on the pilgrimages which are Passover service and focus so those are time back how can you expect a woman to do that to fill in is a daytime only commandment now women could put on tefillin but it is a time bound positive commandment so they're exempt from tefillin sitsit time bound commitment so what is this all about so the answer is is that is that the feminine world our world the reciever world is created in seven everything has to do with seventh here and the so like for example the lunar cycles and sevens and you have to divide the world the weeks up into sevens as well even if you're a solar calendar Gregorian calendar person you hafta divided in sevens and won't work otherwise it has to be in seventh and the rainbow is in seven colors and the octave one two three four five six seven one is in sevens as well everything's in sevens in this world things just simply work in seventh well interestingly women have inside of them a clock that works in sevens which is the reproductive cycle it works also in sevens they are naturally females are naturally built you know such a way that they're in consonance with creation as opposed to the male which is depicted as an arrow you know a circle with an arrow it is a vector it is a it is just a align that that is not necessarily going to come full circle with anything really and hence the tour tells us that men should not be alone as the says in Genesis loto of Adam Leo Levada it's not good for a man to be alone he needs to have oh he needs to have the seven with him and very interesting you know if I had a pen I would show you something you don't see in the whiteboard and very interesting regarding that is is you'll notice that the the men which is the man which is the vector is of love which is also by no coincidence that the phallic symbol as well so the men and the man is the love and as I spoke about the woman is the Zion which is the seven right seven is is Zionist the seven so the man is the Bob and the woman is the design we're the vector and she's designed now it's interesting that letter v' of is a is the bub is ultimately a implementer it implements like we're talking about the masculine implements it causes shifts through its will now what is above above is just a good but it got implemented like if I had an idea that I wanted to like start and start Asia tour in Brooklyn for the black hat community like create a new branch for Brooklyn that's rabbi let's see that's a nice yard that's nice thought let's see it hit the earth because the baseline zeroth let's see you implement that will I'd obviously need of a personality to help me because I'm not naturally an implementer I've always had implementers working with me but I'm more artistic a more creative I'm an idea person I'm a good personality I'm not necessarily a vogue person but that's what the vows it's an implementer and it's also a connector connects heaven and earth right and connects heaven to earth and there's also that's its definition what is the definition of the word love the word VIN what's it mean and what is the word and connections is that it connects this with that it's a connector and when you connect the valve with the Zion via another valve because if you look in the Torah the love has it's just another of of connected what does it create it creates the letterhead and by the way the letter Bob is six and letter of design is 7 which equals what right that equals 13 which is the same word as love which is ahahah ahahah equals 13 right one plus five plus two plus five equals 13 and so and then when they connect via the hope I see how its created a wedding canopy here okay when you should have put her on the right but the Shane got no hair fine you want me to add hair so I gave him a stri Milles so when when the anyway but they connect via the Hat well what's the Hat if that the letterhead is eight right and if you connect it with the eight so what's eight we just had a kana cut if sevens nature was a super nature and then they create a child via the super nature of the connection of the love to the Zion above the design crater now interest is interestingly when we're a part to fill in women don't have to strap themselves down with leather okay but men in the Jewish world must strap themselves down with leather it's a handicap what is it handicap commandment I wouldn't say handicap commandment it's a handicap commandment for males that males have to get into leather every morning and strap themselves down now guess how many loops they have to make around their forearm which represents his strength his ego seven he has to put seven loops around his forearm his forearm how he causes how he manipulates how he makes his mark he has to put a seven there around his arm with the tefillin subjugating his masculine or sorry male will or masculine will to manipulate this world and make his mark he has to settle down boy and strap himself up in that that sits is that men where the the cosmic dental floss is the same exact thing it's there to to wake us up the fact that that we don't need to conquer the world we don't need to inseminate the planet we're met I'm a married man the man sees that citizen is reminded that he's married okay women at least before the last 70 years don't forget they're married okay they don't forget they're married men forget they're married quickly you know depending on how many drinks they've had no that sits this reminds them quickly that hey you're married settle down brother yeah it's a little ripcord for emergency situations you know and you should be seeing them and maybe they'll even keep them out of the wrong establishments in Vegas over there Michael got a Vegas guy maybe that sits maybe there's certain place you shouldn't be walking into it's it's this now of course some men the obvious answer is take off the census but yeah the right answer is don't tuck them in you know the right answer is don't go in there I just got to make a quick announcement because they're they're about to go on the tunnel tours in the looking at the Asia tour the reveille Ellis is leading a tunnel tour now I'm gonna come to a conclusion in a minute but uh you know what I'll just conclude I'll just conclude so everyone stick with me for a moment so the misunderstanding is that you will find you will find women in sits as' which may not be such a bad idea after the last 70 years maybe there should be an scissors but you'll find women in sit says you'll find women in to fill in find women reading from the Tara women holding the tour up you know like women female minions fit women counted as part of the ten men that it takes to be in a minion now is that is that a support of women or based on real mysticism is that a support of women or is that a denigration based on what you learned the last hour it's a support of women or a dent aggression a big-time denigration cuz you know what they're saying they're basically saying I don't understand Jewish mysticism at all or any mysticism at all I understand any of that all I see is men wearing to fill and I want a pair all I see is men in cissus I want it's it's us all he says is men reading for the Torah I want to read from Torah I see men making minute I want to meaning there's basically saying that we need the handicap that men have needed all these years to have a relationship with God they're basically saying give me the handicap - now of course they don't know it's a handicap commandment they have no idea all they know is men are doing it and if men are doing it well you better bet I'm gonna do it but I do want to say one thing we're gonna end with this cuz the tunnel tour is starting I do want to say one thing in defense and that is that when men want to go secular they go all the way they go all the way when men want admit when men are like when they've seen enough of their thrashy Jewish mom you know secular thrashy Jewish mom because at least if she's observing she thrashes you for the right things you know that get to minyan go to shul you know like go to school you know it's like you get thrashed for like learning Torah you know what parshas it you know you're getting thrashed for the right things but if she's a secular Jewish woman she just thrashes you randomly you just get thrashed and that's like like half the Jewish men I meet when I visit earlier either gay because they're like scared to death of females altogether or they or they're at least gonna marry you know I don't know a Filipino massage therapist or something where she just happy you came home you know like she doesn't ask where you were she's just like thank you for coming home we haven't seen you in days yeah so you know which is not you know you come in ten minutes late to a Jewish woman man whoa watch out so so the the point is is that is that the when the Jewish women secular Jewish women again they don't know nothing about Judaism but when they see the Jewish men reinstalling surgically reinstalling their foreskin and will not even marry Jewish women they're certainly not gonna be a president of no shul they're not gonna be no Torah reader ain't putting on notes fillin ain't keep no kashrut not doing nothing so you know what happened is the secular women have in their genes that were not gonna let the Jewish people die and the next thing you know you got female rabbis and female Torah readers and female presidents of shools and female minions and now they may be doing it for all the wrong reasons because I'm sure if you interview them they're just doing it cuz I saw the men doing it like I want to do this but what I believe is really going on deep down inside of them is that's the Jewish women who refuse to see our people disappear and you'll see throughout history it's always the Jewish women at the most assimilatory worst times it was always the Jewish woman who kept us alive they're the ones who keep us going and so after everything I said I do want to add that note and that is that it's the Jewish women who are the clergy today of America are the ones who have had that little genetic thing inside every Jewish woman for 3331 years we're not gonna let our people die if the men won't be the rabbi's we will thank you very much Shalom if you enjoyed watching this well
