Practical Spirituality Conversion, Atheist mistakes & Psychedelics

Papa, I just came from a amazing day at the beach. Um, we went down to we went down to the beach. Uh, let me hit record on Zoom over here. Um, where is that record button? There it is. Record. Anyway, I've been um I've been uh oh, today I was I was on the beach in a place called Ashdod. I don't know if you guys ever been to Ashtod. Um but it's uh the way it works is there's the Gaza Strip. Then you got all these towns alongside and then you got above it is a town called Ashcolan and then um and then the next town is is Ashod. So today I went there. I didn't know all the beaches are closed. What's up with that? So, I didn't know you could close a beach. I mean, I know during Corona they closed beaches, which is a little nuts, but um yeah, somehow somehow they closed the beach and um and so anyway, my son and I were chilling down there. We're having a nice day at the beach and having a good time. Just two of us talking. We had beach chairs. We faced each other a little bit. And um all of a sudden from a lifeguard tower we got announced that the beach is closed for sure. So we decided to ignore the words closed and we just heard the beach for sure. Just kidding. Then he kept then he kept calling us and saying you two guys get out of here. So okay. So we went up to we went up the beach and um got uh got out the the smash ball uh game. I don't know if you know what that is, but you It's an Israeli sport. Really cool sport. You have these kind of big wood paddles with a little round ball that doesn't really uh have a lot of air in it. You slam it back and forth. And you know what's really cool about it? It's as fun as ping pong, but zero competition. In fact, they uh I think the the progressive liberals would love it because, you know, no one loses, which is one of their things. So So we uh you actually hit it. you got to hit as hard as you can, but you hit in a way that he can get it back. And um so it's really non-competitive, which is super cool. And um anyway, we're just slamming this ball back and forth. And that we did that for a while. Then we decided, you know what? We're going to ignore the fact that we are forbidden to go to the beach. And we changed our outfits by just being in our bathing suits. and then headed a little further north of the lifeguard tower like so we're a couple hundred yards away and we went and had a beautiful swim and then uh and then we went skateboarding along a beautiful path went up the side of a river straight from the beach literally from the beach up a river and uh and just skated up there and there was a whole zoo on the right full of all kinds of uh animals and which is open just anyone can go cruise there. It wasn't like a zoo where you have to be admitted or anything. Anyway, we had a good time. Super cool. And then we grabbed guitars. We played for a little while. And yeah, that's the story. Um let's get busy today. I want you guys to think of questions that you have. Um, someone told me that there's a live chat on um on YouTube, but I don't know how to open that live chat. Uh, let me see if I can find it. See, that is empty tab group. No, let me get to that live chat. No. I'm doing I'm messing things up. How do I find the live Oh my gosh. Live chat. I just found a live chat by accident. Okay, cool. Good afternoon, Rabbi from Kentucky. Awesome. Amazing. Sometimes the powers that be like to exercise their right to close beaches and roads. Yeah. Yeah. I was not one of those conspiracy theorists during uh co when they were controlling our lives and in Israel we were being super controlled but I wasn't I wasn't the guy saying like oh they're out to control us because and and I'm happy to be corrected because if I'm wrong but my whole thing was that they're I can only the only thing I could guess if Corona was about controlling us was that they were practicing controlling us to see if they it for the future and he succeeded. So that's the only thing I could think of because to control this and then not control us didn't make much sense to me. Um there was another theory that they did it to get up the 5G um without without protest. Okay, let's get to work. Um everyone please throw your questions my way. We have a chat on Zoom. We have a chat on Facebook. So, I mean on YouTube. So, uh so please uh te tell me your questions. Uh Erin, uh you're you're a real troublemaker. Can you unmute your phone for a second and uh get into it with me a little bit? Um something a subject you'd like to cover? I don't think we're going to go that long because I'm hosting 50 people right now. In fact, if my wife saw me in the studio, she'd kill me. But uh so far, I've done everything she asked me to do. I think we're ready. Just the guests are on standard Jewish time. SJT. Uh, Dickerman, can you unmute and um got a question or two or a point? Ellie, you could too. Aaron, you got a question or a subject you want me to handle? I'm I'm brainstorming. Just any subject. Something might be bothering you. No. Uh what's bothering you? I was just at a mechanic and he just started uh singing some uh Arab type of song. Yeah. And normally normally it wouldn't get like make me feel uncomfortable, but it made me feel uncomfortable. But like I'm not That's what's bothering you. Um yeah. Yeah. Basically like I don't know just uh um being more conscious of possible people not being cool with Jews and you know lot of juice. Yeah. Just dealing with that anxiety and making sure that uh I'm not feeding into the you know fear that this whole thing brings. Sure. Sure. You carry a gun? Um, I own one in LA and uh I'm in New York, so uh it's it but I'm thinking of buying one here. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. I It's interesting. I have two sons-in-laws with guns now. Uh they're they're letting you get a gun real quick over here. So, like a son-in-law of mine a few weeks ago asked for a permit and he's already he's already carrying he just came to a wedding the other night and and opened his jacket to show me that he's got a gun. Yeah. Which is which is interesting. I Okay, I don't want to talk all about security today. So, Right. Right. Let's start talking about some other things. I'm going to pick a subject, but I'd rather you guys do. So, if you guys got something, Lepa, if you got something, VMY any of you guys surely? Um, I'm going to go to YouTube real quick. See if anyone asked something on the live chat over there. Um, so someone asked an interesting question here. I see one already. Um, it says like this. Um um is there is there room in the modern Jewish community meaning in today's Jewish community for converts raised Christian but want to know more about Judaism? Your lectures have been eyeopening. Love your Cabala teachings. That's nice. Um, so, so there's the, it's an interesting question because this may be close to the last time for anyone to convert to Judaism. We don't procilitize. Um, we we generally push away three times just to push away a little bit to make sure this guy knows what he's in for. Anyone who's willing to convert while while the like literal populations are coming out against us right now is a good sign that you're true, that you're real. You know, like you know, in Israel, they they investigate whether you have a gentile u significant other and if you want to join a conversion program, you have to sign that you will not marry that person in the future. which is so interesting like they like they the Judaism only accepts real conversion like and it what does real mean real means you're doing it for the right reason and what's the right reason people have their reasons but the but it has to be based on on something you understand about God something you understand about Torah something you understand about truth and and you have to be the kind of person that if they're pointing a gun at you and say if you agree to convert, let's say someone's did all the studying and they learned everything you got to learn. You got to learn a bunch to convert. But now that they learned all that stuff and now they're ready to take on all the commandments in one day in a dip in the mikvah, which is a ritual bath that you go into. If they're willing to take all that on and someone came with a gun and said, "You get inside that ritual bath and you're going to get shot." Maybe I'm being long extreme, but and the guy says I'm in. That would be like converting in in today after October 7th, 2023. That would be that would be a very truthful convert. Someone who's really real. And the um but yeah, converts are accepted. Um and there's even whole communities of converts. uh my my media guy who handles all my media stuff, he uh he lives in Guatemala and he says there's a synagogue there just converts, 200 converted families who are all together in Ashul and it's like he likes it a lot because it's like they're very observant because unlike Jews, see a Jews Jewish, a Jew is Jewish whether or not he keeps the Torah. A convert has to already study everything it takes to convert and then but still be a gentile and then convert into understanding everything it entails. So many Jews all around the world have no idea what it entails and are you know and have converted to Judaism. Sorry. Many Jews have no idea what it entails and and then just don't necessarily keep it or they do. Um but but they're still a Jew no matter what they do. Now part of the reason why Jews warn converts not to convert unless unless they're absolutely real about it is because once they convert now they're in which means now you deal with all the anti-semitism that Jews deal with which is which is again it's it's systemic. It's not something that do the reasons. All the reasons gentiles use for anti-semitism are the outside reason. The inner reason is that is a is an ancient ancient vibrational hate hatred towards Jewish people. And um it's real it's a real spiritual reality that um that some people get trapped on that vibration. They can't break out of it. Maybe they can. I don't know. But many don't break out. They can't they can't seem to break out. I live here in Israel with Arabs. Like I was fist punching Arabs today, you know, like uh out in the my hanging out with my son. The their the Arabs that are neutral here are horribly embarrassed by their their more by their radicalized brethren. And it is those radicals have made it so uncomfortable to be an Arab living in Israel. Um you'll notice I'm not going to use the word Palestine, nor should anybody because there is no such country. There never was one. Um if they somehow they get our our you know gentile like leaders to agree to a a state and they call it Palestine. Okay. Now we got a state called Palestine. But it's amazing how even right-wing conservative certainly neutral um neutral politicians, newscasters. Suddenly the word Palestine's become like a household word as if there's a country. Tell me what are its borders? You know Palestine. Um what money did they use? Oh, they never had a currency. Who was the leader of it? never had a leader. I mean the only leader they who was their first leader the the person who introduced modern-day terrorism none other than Yaser Arafett who was the introducer of of modernday terrorism with you know that's that was the you know that's their leader let's go back to conversion so uh just want to welcome my dear Roth to the group and uh the uh anyway oh You know what? My my camera's not in full focus. Um anyway, the the convert has to take it all on and and that's it. You know, now if they decide some year later, you know, they decided later that they don't want to keep the Torah anymore, like they're done with their conversion, it's too late. You're in. Which means when you go into the next world and you're judged for your life, you're judged not by seven commandments. You know, the the seven laws of Noah, the seven noahide laws, keep the seven, go to heaven. Not the seven. They're judged on, and you'd think I'm going to say 613. No, they're judged on 45,000 halas. about about 30,000 of them are the negative commandments, thou shalt not. And about 15,000 of them are what you shall do, which is why you have to learn so much Torah. This is why the atheists like Sam Harris and various others out there that um you know, they they like to say that um Jew that the Torah is extremely ambigu ambiguous. They call it bad coding. It's like bad code. Christianity is medium ambiguous. Pretty bad code. Not as bad as the Torah. And then the um Islam's very good code. You know, it's like you don't have to know you're behind from your elbow to keep this stuff. Like it's very clear, says what it means, means what it says. This is how to do it. Good code. And it happens to be that that good code is an absolute disaster for humanity uh in its extreme state in its uh in its uh you know uh uh what do you call it a radical state um but the whole reason that Judaism's bad code in their eyes and an atheist eyes the reason why it's considered ambiguous in their eyes is because is because the Torah was meant the five books of Moses and Tanakh for that matter, the prophets and the writings were meant for the people that received them, who were going to study them and study them and study them and understand all kinds of minutia to be able to split the hairs to understand what do you do in a case of of um financial claims towards uh a business partner or something? How do you deal with all that stuff? And how do you deal with all the details of life and and uh meaning legal stuff in the in the myriads? I mean, think how much legal books there are in the gentile world. Judaism will outdo that in in like they have a fraction the gentile world. Think how much books you would have to study to know all of of just regular secular law. So that that doesn't come close to our legal books. Well, how are you supposed to understand that from the five books of Moses? Because there's there's keys to understand the five books of Moses so that you can properly understand how to live inside this giant digital simulation, this this video game that God created. He didn't expect the Gentiles to do that. But he expected after 24,448 years 24 48 years a failed humanity experiment he gave the Torah so that so that at least one nation would do it. And so when some atheist says that the Torah is ambiguous bad code or it's got slavery in it, it's obviously bad. You know, it's like no, you're an idiot actually, Mr. Genius atheist. You're actually an idiot. And all it would take it was one hour conversation with a proper Torah scholar. one hour. You got an hour. Or you just going to put instead 80 hours of video of of your atheist baloney, you know, while dismissing the the entire 3,36 years of of of Torah scholarship and Torah lifestyle that's lived only off of that understanding of the principles of how to read the Torah. And the same thing Jordan Peterson, you know, I love the guy, but my goodness, you know, and the and the and the guy does a whole he he gets a bunch of people around like all these other smart guys, gets a whole group around him to be the the uh to help him go through this amazing webinar about the book of Exodus. And he didn't include one um Torah scholar in there. And the best he could do was that Dennis Prager. He's married to a gentile. Like that was his idea of of a of who to use for the whole book of Exodus. Oh my gosh. Like why don't you take a Torah scholar for that who has thousands of years tradition in how to learn those things? And it would have blown everybody's mind today. Uh if Peterson did that, he would have these at this point. He'd be wearing pis by now because he's a very truthful oriented truth oriented person. But but like where's your brain? Where's your brain? You know, it's like who would ever do that? You know, if I wanted to rebuild a Ford Mustang, I would go straight to Ford and say to one of their top mechanics, if not their top mechanic, the chief mechanic, and I'd say to him, "Listen, buddy. You know, I'll pay 50 bucks an hour, pay a hundred bucks an hour. How do you rebuild a Ford? I want to rebuild my 1964 Ford Mustang. And the guy's like, "You came to the right place, man. I did that when I was 16 years old." And so it's like, where who the hell are these geniuses who can't seem to figure out that a Torah scholar is is where you go? And the the funny thing is I'm not even one of them. I'm not one of the Torah scholars, but I got enough brains to to put my put my bet with them. That's why I'm placing my bet. If you want to be part of the eternal, if you want to be eternal in your life, if you want to live, if you want, meaning what I mean by that, not talking about living eternally, although that's also the case, but we're all going to live eternally. Um, but if you want to live your life aligned with eternity. So, put your bet with the people who've been in an unbroken chain all the years. And then, of course, you get these uh you get these guys, sometimes Jewish, sometimes not. I don't know. They're behind from their elbow who say, um, well, what do you mean? There's all kinds of arguments in the Jewish, you know, the rabbitic oral tradition of Judaism. Yeah, really, all kinds of arguments. Well, any Torah scholar, and there's many of them right now on the Zoom call here, um because I'm doing YouTube off Zoom, every one of us knows that when you see an argument in the Talmud, every time as you study into it deeper and deeper and deeper, as you're reading into it, you start to realize that they're talking about truth. Both of them, they both sing the absolute truth. And that's why that's why Oh my gosh, I lost my mic. I've never rested my arm on my mic, but I might as well tighten it in case I think to do that again. Um, that's um that's why one of the famous rabbis of the Talmud, his name is Rap Papa. Rap Papa. And Ra Papa was actually a beer salesman. Yes, rabbis used to work. And um and he was a he was a big chubby guy. And he he he brewed beer and he sold beer. And he uh and he uh he you know what he was famous for? He was famous that whenever you saw Rap Papa come into an argument, there's already a running argument between two of our sages and then you see a Rab Papa. So what is Rap Papa saying? A papa is saying that that um what he is saying sorry what he papa does he comes and brings what's called in Aramaic a y ukima what's a y ukima a y ukima is that he brings down the case that they were actually arguing about it turns out that when the first rabbi said what he said he was talking about that case and when the second rabbi was arguing he was actually talking about a different case they're talking about two different cases But if you would ask the second rabbi about the first case, he would agree. And if you ask the the sec the first rabbi about the second case, he would agree too. And that's how he got the nickname papa. You know why why his name was papa? Because pe alf. This mouth pe and that mouth pe alf. They're one. They're saying the same thing. He brought unity to people because he was able to clarify. Arguments aren't even arguments. But if you knew the depths of going into those arguments and what you come out with afterwards, it's like, whoa, blows your mind. And to get and then to really hammer this point home so no one ever thinks for a second that that Jews are arguing to really drive it home is that what the Jews are arguing about when the rabbis are like when they actually have an argument. They're not arguing about the big stuff. They're arguing about very little stuff. For example, in uh there's an argument about the head tofillin. The head tofillin is made of four compartments. Those are the black boxes we wear. Okay? Not from the airplane. These are the black boxes that Jews wear. Um but the these four compartments are are where each one has a part of the Torah inside of it that's written very small, folded up into a little flat piece, and then it's slid into the four parts. Now there is an argument between uh two rishonim which means they lived about a thousand years ago. It's a whole period of rabbitic uh literature. There's two rashonim rashi and rabu who argue on the order you place the paras. You they place those port Torah portions. Now according to Rashi according to Tom you're still going in black boxes. The argument is only what's the order? So the big stuff they agreed the little stuff they didn't agree when it came to and by the way they agreed on the same pariah they were just they didn't disagree about the portions they only disagreed about about what was the order and even with that discrepancy there's cobalistic reasons to use the rebainer tom in fact uh for those of you guys who are in the in the listening to this who are who look more like me with the beards and the and the pace is uh um I I don't know if you're careful not to speak what's called dreo which means you're not allowed to speak about mundane manner matters while wearing the boxes. So I actually saw in inside of a a coalistic book um that said that when you're wearing your raenu to fillain make sure you speak some do you hear that? Is that crazy? Oh maybe's doing something else. I really said that fore's benefit. But when you um when you when you're wearing your banner tom I don't know do something. Call your wife. ask her if you need to pick something up from the shop or something. And uh and that's that's mundane enough and you you did it. Okay. Um I'm going to go to the live chat on YouTube because it's no offense guys, but they're they're more interesting. Okay. Let's go on our live chat and uh well, if I see a lot of questions that I'll answer much quicker. Um, and I and I just want to say to about the conversion thing, just to finish that one up, is that you cannot convert to Judaism once the Messiah comes. Then it's too late. Can't join us when it's convenient. Got to join us when it's inconvenient. So, if someone would like to um convert to Judaism, it better be soon because I have a feeling we're heading into the Armageddon. may not be. But if there was ever a time, I thought we were, and there were many times I did actually to say to admit, and it's a little embarrassing to admit that, but if there was ever a time we're heading into the final wars before the advent of the messianic era, it's now. So, if you want to convert to Judaism, you better start your program now because it takes some time. And in fact, if I were you, I'd find a city that lets you do it the easiest because any the easiest is not going to be. It's just that they don't they don't they're not going to string along for years, you know. I don't know how long it would take a year or something. So, if you do want to do that, I would start your program right away cuz the second the messianic era comes in, meaning when the mess when the Messiah comes. So, uh that's it. Whoever's in is in, whoever's out is out. But being out doesn't mean anything. Nothing wrong being out just means you're a gentile. Nothing wrong being a Gentile. Keep the seven go to heaven. Okay, next question. Uh oh, same person. I have had my blinders removed during an experience on LSD. Welcome to the club. Experiencing experience prophetic vision. I have made connections from your teachings on meditation and what I experienced that proved to me God is real. Cool. Uh saying something like that earns you a um a relationship with me. So uh so take out a pen and write down this number. That's a a uh plus 972528344664 plus 97252 and uh yeah, you're you're in, bro. We're going to connect. Um very cool. Lots of people did that. Um, I'll tell you a quick story on that subject. Uh, I was teaching a class in Jerusalem. Um, I apologize by the way if other people have heard me tell this story a few times. I was teaching a class in Jerusalem about 40 guys in the 30 guys in the class exactly actually. And they're all observant Jews. They meaning they had already come to Judaism. They had already were about a year into their studies and uh raised born and raised Jewish. I don't think there were any converts there. We don't get a lot of converts around. But uh anyway, all of a sudden this guy interrupts the class and says, "Rabbi, can I share something?" Said, "Sure, go ahead." He said that he was raised Christian by Jewish parents. His parents were Christian. If you can be a Christian Jew, it's an oxymoron, but he said he was raised Christian and his parents um you know, uh they went to church every Sunday. On a Saturday night, he goes to a concert with friends and they give him LSD. So, he has his first psychedelic experience. Next morning, his parents pick him up. Uh, his parents wake him up and are taking him to church. It's like church. Gets on his clothes, gets near the church. Soon as he got to the church door, he's like, "I'm not going in there." And the parents are like, "What do you mean you're not going in there?" He's like, "I'm not going in there." Like, I'm sorry, that's not going to happen. And then he went on a search and he searched and searched and searched and he found his way to Judaism. Much to his parents' dismay, they were not happy about that. And here he would share this with the whole class. Class was pretty blown away. I asked um I was about to continue my my lecture when um another guy raises his hand. So I said, "Yes." He says, "Same thing happened. raised Christian, psychedelic experience, couldn't go to church the next day and found my way to Judaism. I was like, "Yes." At which point I decided we need to take a poll. And I said, "Everyone raise your hand. I'm not expecting there other people raised Christian and there were no others, but everyone raise your hand if you came to Judaism after having done psychedelic medicines." as this guy who asked the question said, it lifted the blinders off. So, uh, it definitely lifts the blinders off, but it's not just that. There's many other reasons why. If you'd like me to discuss them, I will. But he, uh, guess what? Of 30 people in this class, random group of people, of 30 people in this class, 28 out of 30 raised their hand. 28 out of 30. Um, who were the other two, by the way? That's kind of interesting. One of them was a South African guy. South African guy was a total wing nut. I mean, this guy was like cross-dressing under his clothes. He was like really trippy guy. Long hair, you know, it was like didn't know he was a man or woman. Wasn't keeping Judaism yet. But coming along the program like for a long time, he finally made his decision and he just cut off all his hair and just left two big pay, took off his tights and he was in. This guy is an amazing guy. He's one of my oldest students from like many years. very very connected to me and and the other the other guy was uh was only like starting to become observant. This guy was the kind of guy like I I can't even describe him. I mean I you would say if anything is he was from that movie with um forgot the name of that guy Chvy Chase. Uh what was the name of that? It was a golf movie and the the kid's name was Spalding. The rich kids the rich kid's name was Spalding that and we're talking but the guy in the class chubby guy with like plaid pants and a plaid shirt plaid shorts shorts pulled up over his belly button. Anyway, that guy got no traction in Judaism and just went back to his life. Never never even became fully observant. Went back to his secular life. The other 28 guys today are marrying off children already. You understand? they've they've like they totally made it in their Jewish lives and and um so there is something very much to that. Um I would need to see of the five cameras that are on I would need to see five thumbs up if you want me to say why there is this effect when people do psychedelics. Um to Jun, that's one thumb up. That's a thumb up. Uh one more thumb up. Okay, Ellie, you don't want to hear this part. I don't have to say it. I was on the phone so I didn't I didn't hear the question. You give me a thumbs up. I don't know what stuck. I'm staring through his Tesla ceiling over there. You want me to tell the story? Okay, I'll tell the story. Oh, Greenfield's here. Okay, you say yes. So, um the reason is is because the And by the way, I'm not advocating psychedelics whatsoever. Um I do have all kinds of theories why God put them in the world. I personally am not involved with psychedelics at all. Um but uh certainly have a serious background in it. And I actually reverse engineered the psychedelic experience to create my flagship seminar, the possible U, which is um in five cities around the world and 13,000 graduates. So anyone who's a graduate of my seminar could say they've done psychedelics even though they didn't ingest anything during the seminar. Um anyway, the what happens is is that uh when the the action of psychedelics, what it does is when it hits around the 45 minute mark and it starts taking effect, what it does is it takes everything that's not true and removes it from your mentality. Anything that's not true just gets removed right away. Now, it's not that you couldn't superimpose something not true, and it would seem like the truest thing ever. That might work if you really push it. But if you're left to your own devices, things that aren't true are are going to go away. This is one of the reasons why people are so afraid of the famous bad trip syndrome of having a bad trip. Why? Because what if your own personality is not true? Now, we're getting into the possible you stuff. What if your actual personality is not true? And so all of a sudden you don't know who the hell you are. So next thing you know, you're dying because you because the brain just computes that, okay, I'm losing who I am. Maybe I'm actually dying. U you're not dying. You're just no longer able to uh deal with the fact that that nothing about you is even remotely true. And so you don't know who the hell you are anymore. Um so that's one of the things that happens on a personal note. But what also happens is all of that which you were taught growing up from birth to death, everything that you were taught growing up and for most people you're in you're 18, 19, 20 years old or you're 30 years old or 40 years old, everything you were taught that is not true is gone. It is gone. So it just means nothing. It is like Chinese. It doesn't mean anything to you anymore. And this is a this is a pretty big issue by the way because when the right now the kidic movement is crazy about psychedelics. And what's the problem with that is that there's two things in aidic lifestyle. There is the Torah which is all true and then there is cultural stuff that's not true. It's cultural stuff. If you're from this village you do things that way. If you're from that village you do things that way. you're from that place, they you you sing this song. If you're from that place, you sing it a little different. Um and and so the culture of the kidic movement, it's not true. It's just the way things developed in that particular region or in that particular city. Now, what happened is that as the enlightenment hit 200 years ago and things got very rigid in the observant community, that's why we wear these rigid outfits, the black hat and the black clothes and the, you know, and like everything got super rigid because, hey, the world's turning to chaos with the enlightenment movement. And today, oh my gosh, it's the ultimate expression of chaos, you know, now that boys and girls, you know, dogs and cats living with each other, you know, the whole world's gone crazy. the um the the It's so weird speaking to a screen. I just my brain just went uh What were we talking about? We talking about Oh, every Oh, so if you're from the kidic community, you have these like things that for the last 200 years and especially your grandparents, your great-grandparents. Well, your great-grandparents, but little, then your grandparents, then your parents, and then this extremely rigid educational system where your parents send you exactly to your community, and then you go for a night of psychedelics because you think you're doing some healing work because it is very healing. You're going to do some healing work. You wake up the next morning and like everything, everything that they made so important means nothing to you. And here's the craziest part. Here's the worst part. Here's the danger. The danger is is that a lot of those hosidic groups and it's been so long, you know, 200 years, a long time. Um, it's many of them have blurred the distinction between what's actually Torah and what's actually just a custom from that part of the world. It's become blurred. Like they've made the custom more important than the Torah in many cases. And so, so, okay, they lied about like that's not true. So maybe that's not true. And and if you're an 18-year-old acidic punk, you know, doesn't know his behind from his elbow, then um maybe from now on I'm going to say a because the real statement is you don't know your ass as from your elbow. That's what you're supposed to say. But I don't use swear words. So I think I'm going to say your A from your elbow and just let everyone try to figure that out. What do you guys say? Does that work better? So if you're if you're a punk and you just had, you know, okay, you had the healing work, but you just had like the most intense experience of your life and now it's like the next day and it's it's like what is true here? What is true here? And now I'll you take it one step further is that you got a lot of people with resentment of their upbringing. Meaning they're pissed off. They got hurt. Maybe they were even in that whole healing psychedelic ceremony to begin with because they were molested or they were beaten or they were embarrassed publicly. Like who knows what that guy went through, you know, and especially in a community that doesn't allow a lot of a lot of like anything in to see what's going on. It gives more room for bad stuff to go on, you know. That's just the way things are. If you don't have people watching, people are up to no good sometimes. For all we know, this guy this guy's Judaism was poisoned. It's already poisoned. And now, while someone like me would come back from such an experience and now the And now I'm putting on my black boxes and strapping down my leather straps and putting on my my little Porsche on my We keep our hair short here, so it's just touching. It's right on there. Yeah. No barriers between me and my black boxes. The same way I feel when I was driving up my turns here. I call them my turns, but when you come up to Jerusalem on the 3 I3, which is such a cool I'm so glad they gave our highway the 3 I3 because the one to go straight into Jerusalem is called the 333. If you want to go to the Dead Sea, you have to go to this other way and that's called the one. The one stays that way. The 3 I3 has now like seven major Grand Prix turns, which means I put my car in boost mode. I'm in four-wheel drive and I'm just flooring it around these turns. And when we got here today, my son's like, because I raced car, oh, when I grew up, before I was observant. So, I raced cars for seven years straight. Um, when I say I raced cars, I don't mean like once a week. I was racing every day. And so, and so I have a couple driving skills, which I actually used in Lakewood once because I some boys had heard that story. I finished a class in Lakewood. I was in some town. I don't know where I was in Lakewood. And these boys said, "Um, can can you show us how you drive, Rabbi?" And I'm like, "Anyone got a sports car?" And then one of the boys like, "I do." And so I threw these guys on the sports car. And we we drove this street on the most amazing street. And I've heard there's another one like it. It was called, I think, North Lake Drive. Does that sound familiar? And give me a thumbs up, h there's something called North Lake Drive or something. Um, there's a South Lake Drive and North Lake Drive. One's south of the lake of Lakewood. someone's north lake. It is so amazing. And when I took these guys through, their cheeks were like this the whole time. And they were they were like, "Holy smokes." You know, I was flying around the turn. The back of the car almost passed the front of the car on some of the turns. And the Anyway, so I just did that. So my son said to me when we got in Jerusalem, because the very last turn literally sends you straight into the center of Jerusalem, like you're right in town, right at the entrance of the city. So my son says, "Don't you think it freaks out the other cars? You know, are like these? I mean, for all you know, some old lady is going to be afraid to get her in her car tomorrow." My answer was tough luck. Just kidding. But no, I'm I'm those are my terms. Okay? And that's why I call them my terms. Now, the um what were we talking about? is that you integrate the stuff. If I were to do such an experience, the next day it's in, man, that's going to be my relationship with God, which I'm about to tell you what the connection is with God because we didn't get there yet. Um, but many of these guys, they can't integrate it. They would have to do a whole bunch of healing about Judaism all together, not to mention studying something about it, distinguishing what's a custom and what's the actual Torah, what's the baby and what's the bathwater. Not that the customs are bath water. They're wonderful, but but you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater anyway. So, what's the God connection? Okay. All of all of lies were stripped away. And what is the uh what's the truth? And and by the way, the active ingredient in uh DMT is they actually call it the spirit molecule. And you can you can Google that YouTube uh DMT the spirit molecule and watch that documentary. What's the spirit part? Well, besides the fact that you now that your brain is now outside space and time, you know, you're outside space and time. Well, guess who's outside space and time? God. God's outside space and time. Okay, so there's one connection. I remember once as a kid, we were at a Grateful Dead concert and uh and what happened, we were about six friends and one of them did not uh take one of these psychedelic compounds. I was not that one, you can imagine. And and while the lead guitarist is playing his solo and we're we're in there for hours and you know, we're just in it, you know, but we're all smoozing while we're listening and and we were having what was our discussion? Did he play this? Is he playing it or will he be playing it? And the sixth guy was listening to this conversation. This was going on for like 10 minutes. And the finally the guy who had not taken the psychedelic compound, he he interrupts us and he says, "Are you guys freaking out of your minds?" Like you're in the middle of a concert having a discussion whether this happened, is happening, or will happen. Ha hov yea was is will be what? And we're like, "Yeah, this is serious discussion. We can't seem to figure this out." And the reason is is because we were outside space and time. And that was really about time. What about space? Well, space gets really different on those compounds. And you know, you you see stuff differently and you even track things differently. Do you know that there there are ancient tribes that used to take them for hunting and they would use certain mushrooms for hunting where they would see things with millimeter precision in shooting their spears. Not to mention that their muscles that have to fire exactly right to send that spear off. Had to be, you know, everything had to be perfect and they would just bullseye with it. If they took a specific mushroom, if they were at war, they would take another one, that would cause a different level of of uh response in warfare. And the it's it's very interesting the but but space becomes very different especially if you close your eyes. And it's actually suggested that that uh in therapy that people should have their eyes masked the entire time so that there's no outside stimulation so that they're in that visual plane which is completely different than anything one could ever imagine. Now during that time one's thoughts and uh visuals and feelings you couldn't write about it if you if the seas of the ocean were ink and the and the trees of the forest were quills and the uh and the earth was the parchment that you would write on. you would run out of ink and you run out of quills and you run out of parchment before you would finish explaining what happened in the last 10 minutes of the experience. So, so that's like and there's a term for that um because obviously if that's the case then you can never explain it which means there are no words and the term for that is well one term is ineffable. You can't say it like God has ineffable names that you're not allowed to say. There's a lot of names of God that we're not allowed to say. We scan them with our eyes. Um, it's ineffable. I can't even speak it. And another thing about it that's very interesting is that the other term is noetic. And noetic is an amazing term. It's actually a modern term and I think it came from the psychedelic movement. The word noetic means that it's when you know something more sure than anything you've ever known in your life, but you couldn't explain it. If someone gave you a million bucks, you could never explain it. Meaning, it is more true than your hand got five fingers, that your your parents are your parents, that your wife's your wife, that the pavement is the pavement, that the grass is the grass. It's more true to you than anything you've ever experienced in your entire life. Yet, you can't even explain it for a million bucks. You'd never be able to explain it. That's called noetic. And so that's another big aspect of of of that. And tell me, how about God, babe? Um, if you think I made up that beautiful thing about the seas and the quills of the forest and the and the earth being the the the paper that you would write on the parchment, the cloth, if you think I made that up, I did not make that up. That is exactly what our sages said in about our Torah. About the Torah with limited letters. It's got a finite number of number number of letters. The combinations of the words are set forever. They're not like the the uh you know thousand whatever hundreds of versions the New Testical sorry New Testament. There's there's no it's there. It's it's one version, no mistakes, perfect transmission for generations after generation, generation, generation, thousand to 3,36 years at this point. Huh? and and to explain who Hashem is, to explain what's in that Torah, you'd never in a in a million years ever ever ever ever ever be able to explain it. And I can explain that, too. By the way, you don't have to be a scholar to understand it. It's very simple that every single word of the Torah has 70 possible meanings. Well, things start getting real explan exponential at that point. Not to mention the fact that every word is made of combination of letters. Let's say a word has five letters. So in those five letters, those actually have their own combinations that go and even as you go along a word, you got different things. Like for example, shamayim. Shamayim has shin, okay, which is fire. Mem, which is water. Sham, oh, by the way, Shmayam means either the heavens or the skies, okay? Shamayim, which is fire and water. Shin fire mem water sham shame is name it's the word name shin mem my name shin me shamayim is um the heavens I already said but it's also shin becomes a could become a prefix and it's that of water that of the water. She may and then of course you got the word mim which is the word water. What are you talking about the heavens? You're talking about water and and then uh you could have get rid of the shin and the me and now you got yam. You got the sea. Suddenly you got the sea in there. Interesting that the word may and has in it the sea. And unlike other languages in the world that have um that have where the words of the language are are symbolic, for example, this cup has in it water. And water is from Germanic vaser. But vaser doesn't mean water. It's just that symbolically if you say the word to a German vaser, it'll think of water. If you say the word in English water, we think of water. But what is water? Well, molecularly it's mem. Sorry, it's it's in Hebrew it's May. Um, but molecularly it's H2O, two hydrogens and an oxygen. Well, isn't that interesting that if you I'll write this out real quick that if you you have an two H's and an O and the word ma shama uh the word for water in Hebrew is which is two mems and a yud looks like this. So if you're driving don't look please. Um is that front words for you guys? Yeah, Mosha, shake your nod your head if it's frontwards if it looks okay. Okay, so you got those are H's. Two H's and an O. H 2 O and water is May two mems may two mems which I already told you earlier are hydrogen and the I told you they represent water and then the yud up there. So meaning when you ask for water in the holy tongue, you're it's not symbolic. When you ask for water in Hebrew, you're asking for the actual molecules in everything. Everything you look at the sun, what is the sun? The sun is shemesh. Well, shins are carbon. Oh, yud is oxygen, by the way. Shin is carbon. And it's and what is it called? It's called shemesh. Shinme is hydrogen. Sheamesh, what is it? It's a ball of hydrogen engulfed in flames. A burning ball of hydrogen is the shemesh is the sun. And uh and everything in Hebrew is describing itself. Is describing the not describing the thing. It is the thing. It is the thing. That's the crazy part about it. And that was the language that got broken into the 70 languages. But the Torah itself has 70 meanings every sentence. Well, think about it. If you have a if uh any any mathematicians there, uh uh Moshin, you're parked, right? Do you know how to do math? You know how to do math? So, if you have um 70 meanings of every word, so one word 70. If you add another word, what are the meanings of that sentence? Is it now uh 140 meanings or does it get more? I think there's some exponential starts happening if you keep adding more words because if every word has 70 I think it's 70* 70 maybe. Is that right? Is it 70* 70? Excellent. So it's 70 * 70. So uh now I'm I'm running out of brain. So, so if it's 70 * 70 and you have um seven, let's say we have 10 words in a sentence. So, 10 words in a sentence times 70 times 70, right? So, a sentence with uh sorry about all the Oh, there we go. A sentence with 10 words has 49,000 possible meanings. Is that possible? Am I crazy? He runs an accounting firm. So, is that really possible? 49,000 meanings in 10 word sentences. I think it should compound even more because let's say if you take one word that has 70 meanings and then you have another word. So now each 70 against a 70 has their own meaning of 70 and now so it starts the compound. It goes even way more than that should go beyond it. So I have a question for you. Um I'm going to bring you on here too. Um please drive carefully. You keep your eye on the road. um what's the connection to 70 um 70 languages of the world and the 70 meanings of the ter of each word in Torah? I'm not sure but when you me you mentioned it was like whoa interesting how they go together. Yeah. Amazing. Is your car in self-drive right now? Yes. Okay. Good. So um excellent. That's interesting thought. Anyway, but I I would like to know the connection. I did learn I learned what? Yeah. Go ahead. I have same period when that but the daughter of fluga that hashem created gave the seven languages and right after that then of whom came and hashem split the 70 nations and and he took us. So the 70 languages and the 70 nations happened at the same time. Uhhuh. Uhhuh. split and interesting interesting right right I mean I think in a it says that am I think the count of the of the nations is Yakov descendants was 70 right right 70 people went down to Egypt of Jacob's family interesting wow so we come from these 70 souls that went down there 70s and and we're considered speaking of today's times we're considered a sheep among 70 wolves which is crazy. Wow. Okay. Um guys, I'm I'm throwing a big party tonight. I have 50 people over for Chevas of dear friends. Real your shi is the my my really close friend Alman Gman. He's in charge of the makas. So he handles like if you come to Shimat Sadik and see or Shimatuli or Kevl or the you see the giant oil things and and the food being served and all that he's he's behind all this stuff. His name's Zman Grossman. He's an amazing amazing Jew. So he married off another child. And uh anything else you want to say while we're here? You good? I love you and I love you all. Thank you. We love you, too. I love you, too. Shalom, everybody. Oh, wow. Look who else is here. Wow. Okay, now we got the three of us. Oh my gosh, I have so much from you guys. Amazing.
