Rabbi Yom Tov Practical Spirituality: Kabbalah - Moving Up Their Parallel Worlds

Shalom and welcome to Asia tour here in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the Temple Mount this class is called practical spirituality and what we're doing now is we're going through the Kabbalistic worlds and what is that supposed to mean it's answering the question how does light energy become matter how does light energy matter if you know anything about physics there's light energy and there's matter this is the world of matter and it's coming from light energy physics keeps it theoretical they don't know how but they have theory how light become matter whereas in Kabbalah we have not theory but whether we have an actual tradition for thousands of years that comes down and what is that tradition that there are actual parallel universes did I say parallel universes sorry parallel worlds that actually obscure the light to create the image just like if I have skewered a light if I obscure the light on this board so it creates an image you see that when you obscure light it creates image so to the obscuring of God's infinite light it creates image and how does it do that it does it via worlds now those worlds are are parallel worlds maybe be easier to understand from our world because one of the things that one of the punishments it's pretty nasty punishment but one of the punishments that someone could get none of you will get it but a punishment someone could get is called kapha kala kala kala means that that when you die you go up one parallel world from ours well if it's only one level up it looks exactly like this world because think about it in the high realms things are super ethereal whereas the lower realms of all those parallel worlds that are filtering the light it's gonna start looking more and more like this world well the bottom level worlds look exactly like this world in fact they are this world just one step removed now they see us we don't see them so if they get that punishment they're stuck here forever and they are they are able to see us interpret but they can't interact with us we don't see them they see us we don't see them and they're just stuck here forever and ever and ever they just stay that age and they're just stuck here and they don't need food or water because they're already meaning they've already been buried there their physical bodies dead but their soul now is lingering around this world that kind of floats around the planet generally they the kabbalists teaches that the that those souls that are stuck in the complicated like to hang around crowded public places so if you find yourself drawn to the muffiny hooda shook outdoor market over there in Jaffa Street anyone feel drawn there some people feel drawn there anyone here feel drawn there nobody feels drawn there you didn't I didn't feeling she felt her on there I was thinking you would be the one who feels drawn there you feel drawn there oh you used to get pulled in there into the black hole daytime or nighttime the meaning since the nightlife started because there was no such thing as nightlife in the sukkah until the last five years brother oh that's a whole other thing no I'm talking about daytime I'm talking about smoking weed and drinking beer I'm talking about fruits and vegetables everywhere and you're feeling like you got to go be there what's that you had this it's a little different to anyway I remember seeing this guy weighing the distance walking down the strip with a big backpack on he's like glow he's shining like you could see him from far away and he finally comes up he was like student in this class and I see and I said what's up he says well I just finished the bar exam yesterday I'm like in New York he's like ya know what are you doing here he says I just had to get back to the shook like well how long you been in Israel Ike I landed an hour and half ago maybe and I came to the shop now I'm in the truck like most people go to the Kotel first he's like I go to the shook he wasn't going to buy anything he was just needs to be around the shook so I have that same thing I need to be around the trick so I've always lived with him like a hundred yards of the show for the last 24 years and anyway but they're all in there and now there are a couple ways out of the coffin Kayla one is to possess an unconscious body and therefore if you have a friend who happens to be unconscious never leave them alone because the only way to prevent a possession of someone passing over back into our world - in order to die and then go out of here because you can actually get out of the coffin Kayla through the through an unconscious or dead body but there's a way to prevent that the way you prevent it is by always guarding the unconscious or dead person so we have a tradition in Judaism that if anyone's ever unconscious or dead we always have gesundheit we always have a living person with them in the room anyone here ever guarded a dead body just me I've got I was left by accident for my 10 year old son guarding a dead body his oldest brother he said was the scariest thing ever happened in his life it wasn't so much the dead guy was so scary he wasn't happy about that either but I had to go and you can't leave the dead body alone because people jump in from the cough of Kayla so I had to go he was with me anyway so I just left him alone for like few minutes so but then I got sidetracked just kidding I didn't get that jack what happened was the daughter of the guy who died walked in right behind my son he didn't hear a walk-in and when she sees the you know the body covered on the on his bed in tiny little one-room plays she screams shrieking at the top of her lungs now my son's 10 years old he's his jobs to protect the dead body and all of a sudden aah and he jumped out of his skin nice it was a scariest moment I was like but it wasn't so much the dead body was the daughter behind anyway but you want to be careful of unconscious people to make sure there's always someone with them yeah no no it'd be more like medically unconscious not not sleeping sleeping you there's no such thing as getting a getting a soul to jump in your body while you're sleeping and you get out an exorcism yeah it ain't pretty we had one very public possession to happen here in Bear Sheva fast because untied about 25 years ago and it was very public the exorcism was extremely public it was a woman with her ex-husband's voice talking through her trying to kill her and anyway it was all a like think it was televised it was like on national television the whole exorcism but I she didn't survive the exorcism unfortunately we lost her but but they did get the body they got the husband out of her which was good yeah at least they got the husband out she got back to her regular voice but then she she didn't make you you call rabbi box 3 he was in charge I don't know I don't know what they did against I don't know what they do it's nothing like Gentiles would do this I don't know what Gentiles do fresh though oh those ones no no though that's some insane summoning the regular dead that's forbidden Ouija boards are majorly forbidden yeah yeah yeah you want to stay away from Ouija boards don't miss if it's too late you already used a Ouija board you know if it's too late then please guide your you'll be protected from any harm but but in the future its ill-advised and you should advise others to not mess around with it never mess with the souls of the Dead yeah so you gotta be careful the Ouija boards and you we have a commandment the Torah not to summons the dead now there are kosher ways of summoning the Dead like a dream quest someone who passed away you're allowed to do certain things gotta go to a certain man I'm mcfuzz and you gotta use certain names of God I don't know what they are and and then you I think you write something that you want to ask and then you put under your pillow and then you go to sleep and then you get you get to actually have a full a full with sore fancy word for and that was not the fancy word but you get to and then you dream into that person's soul and you get to talk to them and ask them questions but it's usually only done by like super heavy-duty dudes like a meeting if you needed a drink west you would go to a rabbi who can do dream quests I don't know any rabbis alive who can do dream of us anymore there was a rubber fight Levine who was a close friend of mine he got to dude he was still someone with a tradition of dream quest is a great Sadiq of Jerusalem and actually very verified the story with him you when he got really old he would be escorted places so I got to escort him to a bris to a circumcision and I I checked the story it with him an amazing story you want to hear a good dream quest story so there was a there was a guy who a cab driver from southern Jerusalem someplace called over there gielo who was we've gotten very ill mysteriously ill to the point where you couldn't walk and he was like his organs were starting to shut down was a big deal so he was dying and the doctors were like we don't know what's going on with you cuz nothing was panning out as far as scans and blood tests they couldn't figure it out and but the guys whole body shutting down so they finally they went to this rabbi and this driving that rabbit they finally brought him to rub oil Levine when he was really gonna die they had to carry him in he couldn't he was no longer able to walk and they asked from a full Levine if he would do a dream quest and River full of green oh no no he knew another things sorry I don't know if he's gonna do it pinklet he knew I had to do what's called the girl hugger ah girl hug ah is it takes a high-level Kabbalists to do that you got to know a lot of Catalan it's like heavy duty and it's most rabbis aren't willing to miss with it but if you know how to do it you do everything right including mikvah and gods names and stuff you actually they can open the Torah and point to the page and it tells you the answer you can actually just flip through the Torah point to the page and it will tell you the answer so what was it he points to the page and it says that that it was the story of Moses his sister Miriam speaking against Moses she spoke loshon Hara about Moses and in Moses and she got afflicted with sorrows with a skin affliction for having spoken against the leader of Israel of her brother Moses and and so what happen was rabbi Levine right before Levine said to to this cab driver he said did you speak again you must have spoken Lashon Hara meaning bad speech about someone named Moses did you speak about someone named Moses so Moshe so he was thinking it was like I don't think so he's thinking I think he's thinking like yeah he went down his phone list that when they mo che called him and said if I spoke against you I apologize you know but he he tried everything he could but in the end after every Moshe he could possibly think of four days after calling every Moshe in the phone book he he gave up because he couldn't figure it out and he he just was continually dying like he was literally dying and and like right before he died the night before he died he couldn't even sleep cuz he's just which Moshe did I speak Russian huh anyway his wife's asleep he's asleep in his bedroom and all of a sudden it like 3:00 in the morning he screams oh God and she jumps up a river you got well and he's like I know which Moshe and she's like which Moshe he says I picked up somebody at the Ramada Renaissance in my cab and I was driving him to the Hyatt in Mount Scopus this is before you know now there's a train on Jaffa Street so they didn't used to be a train that was buses and taxes and so we were climbing up Jaffa by a central bus station but there was a terrible traffic jam for the funeral of Moshe fine state the greatest rabbi of the entire generation from New York his funeral was in Israel and then the hopeless standstill because it's a walking procession meaning they stopped traffic completely they blocked the streets for the no cars meaning wherever you were parked wherever you were driving became we part and he said in his car couldn't they have done the few that couldn't they have done the procession on another Street I mean Jaffa was the artery of Jerusalem in those days that's how you got in and out that was it and everyone's still shocked that they're sending cars up but saw a group of but there like that was how you drove and a Griffis was one way and it was not a it was not a well you Street so he said like couldn't have done it like can you were but the artery of Jerusalem any other street in Jerusalem so anyway at dawn they call his brothers his brothers put him in a car they carry him into or wheeled him into rubber foil Levine who gets up at dawn and they said to him that they think they know what happened he spoke about the gutter hador the great of the generation complaining about his funeral being on Jaffa Street and Robbo Foyle said that's probably it so cousin Kim you don't want to mess with like the leaders of the generation or not the ones you want to be speaking about you know it's like you don't speak about anybody but certainly not the leader of the generation so anyway and he wasn't even speaking about and that's how sensitive it is meaning he was speaking about that the choice of the funeral procession Street that's how careful we got to be anyway he said bring him with ten men to Harmon to host the the cemetery and he should you know carry him into the cemetery and have him ask forgiveness in front of ten men and so they brought him out to the cemetery and he asked forgiveness in front of the ten men at the grave of Rebbe moshe feinstein and he he was fine after that the story says that he walked out of there but i can't verify that but they said the story was they literally walked back to the car like his body came back to life but he lived he couldn't still be alive action and anyway I verified that story with Levine himself in the car with him so like that's a that's the real deal anyway Kaku kala is this parallel world well there's lots of parallel worlds and and the parallel worlds are where we go when we die now I'm obviously blessing everybody never to have to go to the köppen kala you don't wanna be stuck there and and the key wait by the way just to avoid the cough a Killa is in the key way into the copper kala is suicide so it's like because you have full free will in your life you get to do whatever you want in your life I mean you can literally choose anything as we know we get to hear about terrible choices people make you know like you know violent people and stuff making really bad choices but you get to make even terrible choices the one choice you're not allowed to make is when you leave the video game called life meaning you have to you have to sit it out like you can't end your life early and I sometimes I'm nervous about people like smoke cigarettes and or you know eat bad foods or overeat and stuff or don't exercise enough because I'm just wondering if they're also a little bit busted for because those things do in life earlier so it's kind of like suicide on the installment plan but as I wonder about that and that I'm also I'm an extremely healthy eater and very avid exerciser and in fact where our Asia oka class is today at 5:15 a group of Rabbis that do yoga together anyone can come except unless you're female of course we don't do co-ed yoga sorry anyway but thank God in Israel yoga 90 news oh sorry in Jerusalem yoga's kosher so we do you know very kosher all rabbis and it ends with Missy Lister shark yeah well the rabbi's like get dressed beginning and learn you see oh so anyway but it's it's definitely a amazing group of a group of men we've been working together for many years yes so the one thing you're not allowed to do is end your life early you have to stick it out no matter how bad it is you've got to stick it out and what's the punishment for in one ending their life early is it never ends meaning at least if you end your life when it ends you go on you move on you did it you're done you did this this round we have many rounds but you're finished around 3:40 tunnel tour tunnel turn he's gone someone else's go okay there are other people going there out there at 5:15 you took my whatsapp send me what's a Palestinian Arabs I forget how much it costs costs something we pay monthly all right anyway the the you have to you have to see out the end of your life you can't leave early no leaving early you can leave class early to go to the tunnel turn you can't leave life yeah there's the other way out of the cup of Kayla by the way is there are I don't know if there anymore but there used to be a few enclosed dark the great there are there were once kabbalists who knew how to get people out and there was even a story in Europe of one of the great Rebbe used I forget his name who used to actually set up a fake stand where he would like sell bananas or don't think that bananas in Europe but you know they weren't hanging around Costa Rica in those days but they but whatever he was selling potatoes you know and he wasn't really there to sell potatoes he was actually because he was in a public the open-air market he would he was able to see the people who no one else could see and actually walk with him he really put his arm around the guy now this guy could have been 300 years no one ever put their arm around them you know then 300 years 500 who knows how long he's been there in the cop camp but this Remmy could see them so and they would see people that who work in the shop there would see this Rebbe going like this walking down walking just every couple days he'd be walking by like this so he put his arm around the guy and the guy dad takes a little while to realize someone's got his arm around how many looks over at the guy like I can't believe someone's actually interacting with him and who's he looking at he's looking at this pineapple Kabbalistic you know hidden Remy and the Rebbe looks back at him and says to him in this really special voice I don't remem I ready said it better but he said something says something like not something like he says there's but probably in Heber ISM he says you're dead that's what he tells him he tells him he's dead and the guy just goes like like through something like substrate or water or something through the realms and then like pops out the other side into the soul world which is where the souls go which is called the world of souls and and so so that's the other way out is either possession or like some high-level Cabos but I don't think this is the whole problem our generation we don't have anyone like this anymore so like think what's that yeah you could have a dead person right here yeah they're like snuggling up to you right now yeah yeah this isn't a very crowded place they like crowded place it could be that I thank my class I've noticed crazy people like my class I've had so many wingnuts in here over the last 27 years oh my god no it's like a couple times a year someone comes in who's like full schizo and like suddenly I'm his Rebbe and I got crazy stories of things that happen oh I got crazy stories I'm just such insane stories some are quite supernatural I'll tell you my most one of my most supernatural stories ever with one of my skits of students truly would like this odd he was just coming in so he knows this story he pray hasn't heard it in a few years so this one guy was was particularly nuts and violent and he he was like a paranoid schizophrenic and it could you know he could get very violent and he was never violent with me but there were times where he was angry at me and didn't want to speak things out alone in the dark and but but what would happen is my wife would tell him okay you can come over and then she would have call someone else who would keep an eye on him like a hundred yards away while we walked around you know not slowed by this shook you know that I could I would look back once around see someone way up the street just watching the whole time just to make sure anyway he was quite nuts but what would happen was he also he liked alcohol and when he would drink alcohol he would turn into a dog but particularly a dog particularly later in his career he wouldn't turn into a dog and when I say a dog like literally a dog and bite people like a rabid dog and so anyway there were several different biting events people had to go the hospital it was a whole thing and hey you came perfect time for a story remember my student Yahshua who would become a dog and bite people remember that story you never ready he's an easy knows right Tati attracts crazy students sometimes do i yeah have I attracted one recently anyone particularly crazy lately yeah the answer is yes so anyway anyway anyway so this guy later in his years when he would get drunk he would turn into a dog and would get violent and at one point I mean some some poor guys were sleeping in there suka and he crashed through the wall as a dog and I paid the hospital bill meaning a meaning yoshua pay me back you pay me back but you know once he sobered up and took you took responsibility Martin pay me back for payment for this guy's hospital bill you know cuz he had to get shots and stuff and he's my dog so anyway another point poram obviously i wouldn't drink some poorer I mean I could tell you stories about this guy important but I'm not gonna only tell you this one he dressed up as a dog in spot unborn and and got thrown out of the Rebbe there's a Rebbe in spot who's like the Rebbe of five you know it's fought the old cities spots all breslav and up above spots all kebab so so the Rebbe of the breast livers is rabbi K Koenig and he he threw him out for biting people he was dressed as a dog which is totally weird and then now he's a dog he's thrown out of his reveries party he's it wasn't really his Rebbe but now he's walking around the mistletoe Patti sent me to a football of spot biting my pedestrians now the police obviously didn't take long for the police to arrest him and throw him in jail and of course it made it into the newspaper I don't know what what's the newspaper inside they have some kind of paper anyway if someone just showed me the article that's how I found out sounds like is this your student yo sure and I turned out to be his last rabbi because every rabbit he ever had he everybody ever had he messed it up somehow so I stayed with him from the beginning meaning I met him on the very first day he came to Asia and stayed with him I'm very loyal to my students no matter how crazy their long story short he dies that's not funny okay but it's kind of a funny way to end the story it's not over though remember we're talking about souls here so yep in this class someone dying doesn't mean the story's over it's only beginning yeah if your issue of dying is only the beginning of the story so anyway he dies really weird situation customer what happened was he was very close with his mother who lived in America and and he and his sister was a bit of a student of mine he flew back to see his mother before she passed away she was a she had the she had cancer and she was she was he flew back many times since she'd gotten that illness but now she was really dying so he flew back to say goodbye the next morning I get a phone call from his sister saying that she's dead the mother and I'm like I'm like sorry to hear that she says you're she was dead to me they both died and here she was in her house with her mother passed away and he died in his sleep that night is that weird totally weird what yeah except he didn't have anything to die from it was just really weird so now I missed his funeral like the me I mean there might have been another rabbi out there who took care of me I think there might have been one that maybe in spa but but I was in the air flying to America while his body was being flown to Israel I was flying to teach and I wasn't gonna not teach a community because if he died so I didn't go to the funeral I never even knew where he was buried anything and he was buried in spot but about half a year later we have an open third meal which you're all invited to every week we do a big open third meal which is Saturday evening and it was about 15 minutes before Shabbos came out and this Gentile like six foot two blonde lady who was like she looked like she was from Sweden or wait I don't know Finland I know where she looked like she was from but she definitely looked Scandinavian she's holding the freakiest looking dog you've ever seen in your life skin the whole dog's skin are you ever in it I think there is actually a breed of dog that doesn't grow hair but it wasn't this breed yeah you can go when you're not coming to yoga if you do I think they already left but if you really want to go the tunnels you can go with the Eddy but you're not going to yoga over your bikes here now you're going to you're sorry you've been in the tunnels alright you look a little disappointed you want to leave your bike here I don't think that's good idea anyway the but they do tunnel tour once in a while so I mean it's up to you but you tell you if he can figure out a way to get your bike home you guys can come you can go so she's holding his dog that's all skin like human skin but it's a dog and on the belly of the dog is a round patch of hair that would have been the hair of the dog like had it had hair so it's an all skin dog with his little round patch of hair here now she said that the dog like be lined towards my house during the open half of the third meal where you're sure used to always come and the dog was like beeline to CrossFit solace Street towards my house and got hit by a car so the dog was dying and his dog was clearly dying it had like its ribs like punched into its lungs I mean it wasn't dying and and she's holding his dying dog she wants to bring it in my house no I'm like listen lady like Shabbos is out in 15 minutes we'll call the animal people they'll come put the dog to sleep whatever you know just sit here right there's stairs right next to my house like sit on these stairs you want to take care of the dog take care of the dog we went to Ma Reve to the evening so by the time I came back that the truck had already come and they've taken the dog to that Animal Services later that night I go to a bar mitzva with my wife I didn't go in she went in I it was a friend of hers so I just sat in the parking lot in another car in that parking lot was another man waiting for his wife in the bar mitzva and who is this guy this guy's names a white cats off and he is a shepherd a Jewish shepherd who lives on the mountains overlooking over the Temple Mount like on the east side by the Mount of Olives he has a he has a pasture over there where he Shepherds sheep and he is the only place that was willing to let yoshua stay at his house so you're sure used to stay at a Weiss house hey wise family a wife runs up to my window and tells me the following story outside the bar mitzvah Saturday night after Shabbos where this dog was a white tells me that he was having a dream that that yo sure was a dog and he was all skin except for one round patch of hair on it on his belly and he came to him in his dream begging to die meaning because the human soul in an animal body's not going to be a very fun experience animal souls and animal bodies are good human souls and animal bodies are not happy about it this really can be extremely uncomfortable to be a human in an animal and so he came to him as a dog with all skin a round patch of hair in his belly and was begging to be taken out of his misery like killed and it was he said the dream was like crazy intense and then his wife started shaking him this is in real life his wife's shaking it why is she shaking him she's shaking him because because their Shabbos table which they for the last six months have put a cloth on and made Chavez meals and taking it off and cleaned it there was a fresh cloth on the table and on the table was a nut a bank receipt for money yoshua had deposited for them for the cat's offs in America with yoshua signature you know signing that he deposited the money there was an actual sign note of a receipt from a bank deposit with Yahshua's name on their Shabbos table and she was shaking to wake him up to understand what this is doing on their Shabbos table Shabbos you know afternoon while he was taking his schlaf he was woken from this nightmare with her saying what's the meaning of this of this Bank receipt on our Shabbos table into that part I can't that I cannot explain anyway the story's almost over I was taking a Elfi man on a tour of Israel I'm learning here but they sometimes they ask me to take these guys up north so I took him up north and we're leaving spot we're gonna go for dinner in Tiberias and this is already 11 months later 11 and a half months after your show died and we're on our way we leave spot down the bottom of the spot and as we're passing by the cemetery at the bottom of spot to turn left on the highway I said to the passenger in the car because we've got to talk about something so I said oh you know my one of my dear students is buried here and I never got to see where he's buried and and he says well why don't we go now and now I'm turning left on the highway and I'm like not going to visit my student on your time and so we're striving out towards Tiberias and the this wealthy guy is like he's like I don't understand why you know if he's your dear student why you never went to see his grave and I'm like well I don't live in spot and I am I've only been here once or twice and it just hasn't come out he says well why don't we go there now and I said because this is your tour I'm not taking you to visit my students grave and he kept going it after a while the guy says to me he says to me you know I'm a bit of your student at this point I don't feel very comfortable being the student of somebody who wouldn't visit his students great he's really pushing me and you know when you turn left towards spot there's a little neighborhood on the right I think it's into herb flavor there's a little whatever what's it called salsa or sign I forgot what's it called out of I so so I turned in there to turn around and then fine we'll go so I don't even know where the grave is in the giant 7jo they got am I gonna find it so I called someone in spot who was at the simple funeral and he explains where exactly where to go so we go in there and it's like raining a bit and we go exactly where he told me to go no there's no grave there with yoshua on it like nothing and we were there for like 15 minutes 20 minutes drizzling on us and it's not there I've gotten up every row of the area where he's buried it's not there so so finally we gave up so we're leaving I called him back by the one he's like I'm telling you as the I said it's not so we're leaving now and just as we get to the car a pickup truck comes in I stopped the pickup truck and I say hi you part of the favorite condition and burial Society says yeah and I said you don't have any idea where you're sure Abrams is buried and he says you sure Abrams and I'm like yeah you sure everything you sure abran I'm like yeah he he doesn't answer me he gets on the phone calls this like it was like a radio or something he's like he's like someone who knows your show Abrams is here and all of a sudden like he says you wait right here like over the next 10 minutes like a bunch of cars come driving up it's like all the rest of the burial society comes in and they take me to his grave his grave is unmarked no stone there there was a sign that had already fallen over meaning a little chalk like a little piece of chalk board you can kind of make out then it sent your shoe abrams on it but like you it was illegible and like this is his grave and I'm like why is it like this and he says because the family in America never paid for anything they didn't pay for the the but dealing with the body they didn't pay for the the brave they certainly didn't pay for a tombstone they didn't pay for any of this we we did this funeral and it didn't get paid for and so we are laws that if no one pays for we don't do anything we just leave it there and it's now you understand by the end of the year you're supposed to have a tombstone this is 11 and a half months and here I am and I'm like well you got the right guy man cuz I know his family very well and and and I said okay take care of it and I made the phone calls to America and the grandmother stepped up paid for everything and he got a tombstone right there so I was like I got to like have a part in it in the end which is very interesting all because of the student cuz that we never ever turned around as you saw I wasn't gonna turn around didn't go and go get him and go find it it's amazing these Souls stories you know and these are like real ones these are the meaning they're not just like campfire tales I got to be involved in these ones and this one included it this one included the possession in a dog that's really yeah he says go over the bike yeah right like when I'm on the trails I should be enjoying it I'm gonna call the guy after him at least try to convince him to let me test it out oh I don't know I don't know we don't understand that we don't ask questions of these things you know the we don't understand any of this I mean why do you have to have your life the way in your life is like why are you this number kid why are you from that house you could have been had you been from a hundred yards over 100 yards over to another house and a different number kid your whole life would have been absolutely we don't know why yes but we don't know what that is we don't know what anything is actually this is the first thing ever I didn't let the newspaper go into my house I think I came out looked in the newspaper I saw there was a tragic fire of kids died you know you know observant community they talk and they're like that's not going in my house on you know his first thing in the morning it's Rosh Hodesh and I just took it out on my way to the mikveh chucked it at the make fun but that's that's not the point the point is is that like now this now these parents are gonna go to bed tonight having buried their children whatever was left on them you know how they supposed to make sense of that how he supposed to make sense of anything and then we can't make sense of anyone why you're born into your house like you'll never know even when you die you okay yeah you think like when you die at least you get to find out you it could be you find I mean you'll definitely know a lot more but like why why why I like the real why you don't necessarily get to know you know we're we're part of some spiritual thing going on what I don't know I mean in the my work in hypnosis when I did past life work with people they actually between lives got to go and ask God after each life why and there were answers so that Lynn I don't know if there's making stuff up in their own imagination in hypnosis but but it seemed there were answers for people so maybe there are answers maybe you do get to ask why but we're part of something way bigger like then our flesh blood and consciousness there's something way bigger going on for us and we don't understand it necessarily our jobs just keep it simple yeah it's it's more specific it's much more specific but but if you want things to stay really simple what's your name having if you want things to be super simple simply they it's very simple you sleep in the bed you made so how are you live your life in this world is what you'll what you'll be dealing with meaning meaning everything you do that's towards good will be eternal everything you did that was away from good is temporal it will die with you temporal means time it's limited in time so everything you do good will be eternal everything you do towards good is forever everything you do away from good is temporal but even though it's temporal you do have to own it when you pass away you know this life let me just explain that a little more than you asked about past lives Abby just let me finish that the all of us have to pay for our lives unless God has a really sick sense of humor you understand anyone who does even I know people who did horrendous things like horrendous things and they're living free lives they're not in jail they should be in jail they're no longer dangerous because they're old and whatever dying but you know they're in the last year's but they I have spoken to the victims of these people and these people are free never got caught covered up community covered covered things up and and they're just you know some are very wealthy and enjoying their they're enjoying their themselves you know now if if you have to understand that your life is built of choices good choice bad choice you have choices yet we don't see any consequence for either you could say all the kindness I've done that has cost me time and money so if anything good it was bad for me cost me time cost me money so maybe good is bad and then you'll see other things that people done in bad and I certainly did plenty of bad things before I found Tara and the I didn't it didn't seem to have any consequence in fact I probably profited more than I lost for most of the bad things I did so unless God has a sixth sense of humor which he maybe but I don't think he does because he gave us the one thing God gave us in this world was a choice towards good or towards or away from it yet there's no consequence and I know many people have profited greatly by doing evil so there's no real this world consequence but God gave us choice so when do you actually take responsibility for your choices meaning do you get paid or you get busted when does that happen well there's only one obvious place that can happen and that would be after we die so you don't need a rabbi to tell you anything at me that's what I'm saying you don't need to hear from rabbis what happens when you die it's enough logically to understand that the one thing you've got in this world is choice that's one thing that you got free will and you'll make your choices there the consequences of those choices will not be obvious meaning you will not necessarily get rewarded for doing good or punished for doing bad in this world one sec but when we die now the soul releases from the body the body goes Six Feet Under and the soul now goes up and takes responsibility for the negative choices which I said were temporal they're time-bound I mean we take responsibility for them once we're finished taking responsibility for the negatives choices then all the good we did was eternity we get eternity for all the good we didn't know what that eternity is made up we have no idea that's why we don't give afterlife classes you notice there's no class on the schedule about the afterlife because we don't know what it is we don't know what good you get but we do know one thing that's important and that is that have you ever felt totally connected before yea you've ever felt totally connected would you say that was one of the highlights of your life I don't know what I mean I know what I would mean for me but I would say definitely my best times in my life where I felt totally connected God to my wife to my children to a good friend just those moments of ultimate connection were the greatest moments in my life there they were they are ultimately what we seek unfortunately especially for men who connections too dangerous for us so we go for ego and like recognition we love recognition so like we want to drive a nice car nice suit job we want to be recognized which is the counterfeit of connection you understand that that and women do it too they don't do it so much for for recognition they do it more for attention we do it more for men due to it men and women they both go for attention over condition because connections dangerous yeah you think about how are you supposed to connect anyone without putting your heart literally on at risk so attention is the next-best it feels a little bit like love feels a little bit like connection when people are giving you a lot of attention even negative attention but it's the counterfeit of love and it often happens with people who've been hurt before people have been hurt before will generally go for attention it's the counterfeit of love and it's but it's a very cheap counterfeit and leaves you miserable in the end because I mean is it could you ever get enough attention do the people in Hollywood ever get enough how come they don't live past 40 you know like they just they're they just can't survive the pain of what's the pain the pain is after all the attention they got and 3:00 in the morning everyone's gone home that people are going to sleep that night they're not clapping for you and you'd think those those rock stars have enough money to hire someone to keep clapping while they sleep in their hotel room you know in New Jersey like they're playing Jersey this week so instead of dying of an overdose of sleeping pills and stuff because they can't fall asleep from the pain they could just spend some money to have people clap while they're sleeping just have people in the hotel room just you're amazing we love you we just love Michael Jackson really just have people clap for you while you're sleeping they could have afforded that instead of choking on their own vomit by themselves in a hotel room you know we could have did so the anyway but we all have to realize that it's love that we want it's connection that we want that's where that's what you want to go after and and just forget attention attention you know what I think about when I see people home for attention because they're often like bronzed and tanned driving the Alfa Romeo or some other Italian car and they like they just look so good and these attention people you know what I see when I see attention people everyone else sees like glamour you know what I see I see an Ethiopian with like the distended belly and the swollen skull and you know the eyes popping out flies toothpick arms and they're like like I see a starving Ethiopian when I see these glamour people we're all into like their attention and stuff that's all I see my heart my heart goes out and obviously negative attentions a disaster cause like maybe if I'm depressed enough and like slice my arm enough times or something like maybe then I'll feel some connective cuz people are gonna come save me or something though you know like you know the best is in a joke form is is is I'm gonna really show my parents by being miserable that'll be cool except it's not cool it's miserable in a Zen to show your parents by being the most miserable prison they ever saw mix means you lose you lose it means you were miserable so what good does that do so in other words if the counterfeit for attention sorry if the counterfeit for loving connection is attention whether it be glamour or wealth or or negative attention by being like it the dregs of the earth depressed angry you know whatever person if that's the counterfeit so just get that and go for loving connection become loving connection and you can even have a hippie stage which is always fun for like you got a bit of a hippie thing going on over there so you can do like hippie for like half a year to a year it's great like just go the opposite way I just be like hand flowers to people in the Jewish quarter or something you know just become like the love me to go with the Rambam teaches us this is just go away to the opposite and then you'll slide back to the middle but someone who's been going for the big attention thing should go for the hard corn to love and and when I tell my love them Simon expressions of loving connection I'm not anything intimate cuz that's just more disaster of attention and then that's just physical attention so I'm talking about just being a loving person and go really into that yeah it's fine to have a whole hippie stage you ever had a whole hippie stage anyway go for the full hippie thing for a little while and just be the most loving person anyone ever met until if you were like almost starting to avoid you because it's like awkward and then and then you'll come back to like just being a normal person because normal people don't do that our job usually when it comes to love is to measure the recipient to see how much is appropriate but a hippie does not do any measurements you know they're just like they're gonna love everybody all the way you know like they're there's no measuring the recipient but normal human beings actually look at the potential recipient and and act accordingly like like meaning I'm loving with all you people but like the men are gonna get more than the women you know because it's just not appropriate so the recipients not an appropriate place for me to be extra loving but by the men okay that's cool unless you're gay which point on I'll be I'll be very loving but not as lying because I don't want to cause any you know any extra fantasies the fantasy of the Hasidic rabbi okay this is getting really weird now anyway we're way off topic right now we're time not gonna die my love and attention but I always wrap up my class so I gotta think gotta wrap this up especially with the yoga approaching what was today's topic weird time out the parallel worlds we talked about souls and reincarnation possessions both human and animal how to stand a cough kala means you can't kill yourself to the cuff kala no I think there are more ways that I don't know what they are and I think they're there the list of things is not very long but I think it's I think it's pretty harsh like you have to do some pretty stupid stuff and wind up in the cuff count and yeah I think we nailed this class I don't know what else to say I know any random questions someone who committed suicide to maybe you know try to find a Kabbalist who can do something and probably the best know what you can do if you were super close with him he might come around once in a while so try to sense him you could talk to him if you sense him you could talk to him but I mean you'd have to be really close to sense it I'll see you have to be really close for him to even bother coming around you cuz a lot of interesting things going on there probably hanging around burning meeting and you know like they like being around a lot of people not just you you know but if you were super close of them and could be they come around I believe they would come around they were really close yeah No if they attempts and are someone intervenes to save them and then they die and they don't go to cover kit yeah Kappa Kayla's kind of reserved for no regrets you know meaning meaning like what some no regrets a gun someone who kills themselves a gun it's their day so it's point-blank with a gun there's there was never a moment of regret so whereas there's other types of situation where like for example pills and now they're trying to save them and I was like what have I done and you know like that whole thing is like that's a chance but but if they wind up dying without full on regret but if they're the ones who called for help I just could show up clearly showing that thing there's regret and regrets true to it regrets the third step Virtua stop say regret commit to the future so if they're calling some of her help having eaten pills or whatever there that's a clear sign they're on the tumor process it's true nothing stands before Chu so they did chew the and we often rabbis for the families of the those who died through suicide often the rabbi's will tell the family to still sit Shiva and still say Kaddish but they're more of thinking about the family because the letter the laws there's no Kaddish because they cottages for helping someone's soul to move up and up and up but it doesn't help someone in the coffin Cal cottage doesn't do anything for something of a cup of kill so but they'll often tell them and when they ask the rabbi's why are they allowed to say Kaddish for someone who isn't really gone meaning they're in the parallel realm right next doors so why say Kaddish for that person so they say well perhaps they had regret perhaps they regretted it but it was too late there was nothing they could do if it's unknown so that's between that's only God would know for Kaddish oh if it was unknown they're always more lenient on saying cut rabbets always more lenient on their end ship so that the family can mourn properly Oh someone just keeps getting burned other people are getting burned randomly you fell on a stove like a stove top you go to the hospital she didn't want to I didn't realize that's part of the equation of you should keep it out of the Sun and keep a low yeah and stuff like that and into also into infection when he call it intended so it didn't get infected I don't know why random people including you are getting burned lately any other random questions we're good okay everyone I'm that was today's class we'll see y'all tomorrow and you're reminding me of the oil we're gonna burn some some temple smells too I forgot wasn't like the first thing in my mind I was running out of the house she let me run
