Creation of the World 2

we're like shooting at I love this and I love that and I love this and that and you find yourself all tangled up and that's what happens by the way throughout the years you get so tangled up in the things you're into that when it comes to Russ a shanan time you're kind of dread that you have to have two days in Shool because you know I don't spend two days on my bike I don't spend two days listening to my favorite Tunes I don't spend two days doing nothing and God's only one slice of the pie how am I suppos to spend two days on this cuz we all got ourselves so tangled up in a web of the things we love the point is to purify that you can have all those things just it's all a function of your love of God so unattached cut off the webbings that have attached you and blinded you to your true desire and by the way it is your true desire your true desire is to connect with God if you have that you have everything if you're connected to God then nothing positive nor perceive negative gets in your way you're all set if you're connecting to God okay and you can have your fancy house and your fancy car and your fancy wife and your fancy kids you connected to God you're connected you can have it or you canot have it you're connected to God you have everything so what why is one the function of cutting and the other the function of rooting of uh pruning it's because the things you love you notice that some of the things you love are forbidden you have to cut those out those are out okay things you love that are forbidden are out things you love that are permitted are pruned what does it mean to prune them it means I need to adjust how I relate to them I have to adjust how I relate to those particular things like for example Josh music permitted or forbidden listening to let's say it's dignified Fine Music permitted or it's permitted so I don't have to cut it out of you have to cut music out of your life no I have to but I have to prune it maybe get the stuff that's a little more violent and swearing and sexual maybe I do have to cut that out that's messing me up that would be pruning CU I love my love of God is more important than me getting trashed by this style of music so that would be pruning I don't have to get music out okay Lobster I love Lobster prun or cut cut that's a cut okay okay so that's it that's life in general is cutting what's forbidden and pruning what's permitted pruning means adjusting your settings and how you relate to it to make sure your cavana your your motives are pure in your relationship to that particular thing and the best way to test whether your motives are pure on that particular thing is if it were taken away how would you do understand I mean obviously anyone's going to do not so well for a few hours if their car got their car stereo got taken it's definitely going to affect them for a few hours uh but you know you're really holy if you're just like well there you have it guess I've lost contact with that meaning there's a belief in kabalah that everything you have has everything in the world has a spiritual counterpart it wouldn't be here we've discussed that right everything in this world has a spiritual counterpart in um a one: one counterpart in it's zero so I'm also spiritual so I spiritually had something to do with that carero that carero is is mine I don't want to use me anymore because I don't lose my Cario if I'm saying all this the uh one's Cario is his carero they are connected spiritually what can happen is that particular stere carero can lose its connection to him he's done with it at which point you know he may come back to his car and find it gone so the way we verify whether you still have a connection there's a way to verify let's say you lose something and this is more for lost objects if someone loses something and he wants to verify whether he still has the soul connection to it or he does not um well obviously if it comes back he has a soul connection to it if it doesn't come back it's no longer connected so we have two things we say that will actually Bring Back Your lost object if you still relate to it one thing is uh one thing is uh you say May the god of Mayor mayor was a one of our sages May the god of Mayor answer me and you say that three times you say it in Aramaic and if you say it three times the third time you pop the coin in sadaka it'll be there you'll find it or someone will return it to her something miraculous will happen guys want to great example of that I was studying in a in a cola Yesa Cola in um a town called harof in the other side of Jerusalem and that day I had a new hat so I put my hat box it was in a box I put the Hat Box by the coffee tea room anyway I was studying and I looked over every once in a while at my hat box just new hat exciting it's always nice to get something new and except one of the times I looked over it was gone I'm like oh man crazy so I start searching all over for my hat box I can't find it so the roach Colo said maybe maybe the the Russian janitor threw it in the garbage he thought it was cuz it was next to the garbage maybe he thought it was garage so I go outside to the dumpster and I look inside the dumpster and I don't see my hat box it was one of these giant dumpsters I but I real realize inside that dumpster is a beautiful leather briefcase it's strange we're going to the dumpster I break bring out the briefcase open it up it's full of all kinds of very serious documents checkbooks and all kinds of stuff and obviously the checks have the address on them which is right down the block I went down the block to that home and knock on the door this man looks Panic answers the door and I said what is it I said is this your stuff he says yes it is how did you get it what like what are you doing with this and and I said I I told my story he says that's amazing he said because they what had happened was he had been broken into his house is on the side of the forest a nice Villa was broken into by the forest side and they had taken all his stereo and everything all his Hi-Fi stuff but they also took this briefcase so all the other stuff was replaceable except for these documents so he decided to say May the god of May answer me three times having his briefcase in mind and then gave Sedaka we figured out the time that that was exactly when I looked over my hat was gone and I went and pulled his briefcase out of the dumpster it was just bizarre and I went back up to my anyway we met each other he was so thankful I went back to the Yeshiva and I look and there's my hat box right next to the garbage in the coffee tea room it was right there yeah there you have it okay so anyway there's a lot of great stories like that a lot of great stories you can even do it for stolen articles cuz you never know what they do with it sometimes they just dump it uh myusa just had uh car was broken into um he lost his backpack with his teillant and everything and uh it was stolen and he said you know the the famous line May the god of mar answer me three times put in the coin having his backpack of mine and uh and then it was like while later he gets a phone call from a rabbi in a synagogue uh saying you know we've uh we've got your filling here they're so soaking wet they had been out all night but whoever stole them just threw this filling out the window of his car and they were fine they turned out to be fine they weren't soaking with they were damp from a night of rain but uh cool stuff huh okay so that's puka zimra cutting the Forbidden love getting your heart whole with loving God and pruning the permitted love okay then there's another elevator we say kades and we move our way up to sh and its blessings shma and its Blessings by the way I want to mention in suuk zimra if you'll notice it talks about things like inan like nonhuman objects praising God the stars are praising God the Earth is praising God the sea creatures are praising God the animals are praising it's like hello when's the last time you saw any of these things praising God what is King David talking about is he you know hallucinating the answer is is where is this where is PUK going on in y meaning
