i think we'll be finished a minor before
you're tracked
therefore maybe we could even learn
something for your shot
okay 353 kits
on
materialize through the process
of the actual kaelin the vessels of the
ten emanations
of the world's bria yosita and asea
creation formation in action and
additionally
the masolis through the garments
of the constellations
is clearly foreign for that to happen
you must make a vessel for parnosa
which
which which it which requires actual
the hotev in other words
matters and ways of nature
to to be the
vessels to
materialize the blessing in the gosh
musical world
and says
tev itself is nature
in heaven itself is godliness
what type of godliness is it
that's concealed and comprehended
generally speaking today he's biting
this through
reflection and meditation
you cannot come to the understanding and
realization there is a god
that makes nature there's hashem within
nature
if you take the time to be misbending
over ms and in truth
who outsmart the militar and you'll come
to the this the conclusion if you
meditate
well enough and long enough and strong
enough
that nature itself is really
supernatural
and because
this is all required
for godliness that its dna
is concealed
but the form of godliness that part of
hashem
that does not allow for concealment but
rather is what we call look what it says
here
eliza apparent and revealed godliness
that god believes blinding this
even without reflection and meditation
you will realize that there's god there
so what's what would be a very simple
example of this
ella cousin a miracle
if one experiences a miracle
and one determines that whatever
happened is a miracle
they're more apt and quicker to say
that's from god
because it shatters all convention all
laws and rules and one
concludes it's obviously from god
so there you don't need his boneness you
don't need to really
reflect to meditate you just need to
open your eyes
and see but when it comes to alicus
ha muster a godliness that
in its natural in its innate
form lends itself
to concealment in order to
to find god there you have to be
misbenin
you have to reflect and meditate
and this since i am now very much
involved in
the whole sugiya the whole topic of
breast list
at bresliv and chabad this to me this
like this paragraph
is so is so um
telling of chabad's approach to
in comparison to the breslau approach
at least at this point in my thinking
and discussion with others is is is so
the contrary to what it says here
the the breslav approach is
throw yourself on god and he will
sustain you and support you
and everything is hashem and
and just um you know just go with the
flow
and have 65 children and uh
don't have a job and hashem will help
you i mean that's being a little
sarcastic but
you know even if you water that down
which of course it needs to be watered
down
to be more real the attitude is
the history will help you so the altar
ebba says he that rebecca
says here in the name of his teachers
his rebels his predecessors
that you must make a candy for panasonic
to reveal
the bracha otherwise you and you need to
be miss binding
breslif doesn't talk about his bones
talks about his body
isolated reflection isolated
conversation with hashem
which is which is a good thing an
important thing but it's a different
method than his bonninus his abundance
is
deep thought the use of the mind the
involvement of the mind
now like i said to someone yesterday
when we discussed this as sure
the fact is we see today that the the
breslif movement
is um is is
you know growing by leaps and bounds and
also
helping so many so many people
so it's not to be made light of it's
it's an
important element of of our our tita
okay and probably one could say
that probably amongst all the groups
it's definitely from the leaders if not
you know the leader in in kind of
bringing people back
um again now within brussels itself you
have the nach nachmans of rabbis
and then you have rabbit kenix who goes
more back to the more
formal uh brussels
etc you know uh but regardless
of which of the breast lift version
you follow there's what to be said about
this idea of
you know talking to hashem and relying
to hashem
and making it very personal
it's a very different type of aveda and
in a way
a much harder type of avoider and has
many less takers
why because the average person
either doesn't have the information b
is not interested in information and
even if they have the information
interested to meditate and reflect is
very difficult
because as soon as you start thinking
your mind
wanders elsewhere what's going on here
what's going on there
and that's a contradiction to to
authentic meditation
authentic jewish meditation from the
khabar perspective requires complete
concentration and focus during the time
of meditation
and reflection on what you're reflecting
on and if all of a sudden
i remember one after pesach the rebel
was for bringing the last their pesach
right
what what everyone calls the ila and i
was at the fabregan
and everyone knows the rav the love of
the community
and has to as soon as pesach is over
call or meet with the non-jew the guy to
buy back the comments
right because and this is you know
this is relevant to everyone in the in
in the community
because if not it's a problem of course
so that everyone spoke
i remember it was the second seeker so
the rebel would start for bringing
skier time that's when the brain started
and by the time the second talk came
around the second sikha
it was already mire of time okay
now so this sikha
was when myrov hit so i i we saw many
times
each year enough that the rav would get
up
and you know he in a way he he would he
would try to pre
leave the fabrega before the second talk
began because it's
he it it's rude he's sitting you know
everyone is listening the rep is talking
and
and the rabbi the community picks
himself up in front of two thousand
people
and walks out it's it's it doesn't look
good you know what i mean
but he had no choice it's it's
so i remember once i don't know if he
was there or he had left
that ever spoke about that when you
learn tata
and the phone rings you shouldn't
even hear that the phone rings because
you're so engrossed in your title
learning
so that's just learning
kosuke needless to say when we talk
about meditation his boldness
it requires a lot of concentration
so that's why the chabad commodity
the true chabad commodity of his bonding
is not something that the average man on
the street
goes for that that's that you know
you know i don't care what the
baba just say but that's authentic now
there's
water down you know just put on film
with people
and and and and you know and go in the
friendship circle
and it's all good things and important
things but that's not
that's not chabad's philosophy
and whereas in breslau the philosophy
doesn't require that
it doesn't require that if you if you
follow
a brussels uh philosophy talk to hashem
in the middle of the day here if you can
get
get to a foreign go to your backyard
right now who can't go to the backyard
we all went to our backyard when the
corona started we couldn't double the
minion was locked down
so we dive into the backyards one two
three in fact in waves was much easier
i opened my door i went outside it was
too cold i stayed inside i was able to
hear all the three of them dabble in a
minion
i didn't have to run to show them back
the shoe whatever
but that's all that mahalo
is so here when we learn such a
kisser you have to understand the
background of the kitzer
where is the rashad coming from when he
talks about making a califor parnosa
because you'll hear everyone and anyone
say you have to make a calendar for
prince
what are you doing to make pranosta
right everyone throws around those words
and to everyone it has ever to every
mahalak to
approach it really means something else
this is the khabar approach
and what is the approach his abundance
to find the godliness within the
concealment
when there's a problem issue what sorry
god forbid
find god there through his abundance
okay i could talk much more about this
maybe another shear
but right now let's continue okay page
353 base
[Music]
the garments of nature that are based
on the divine intent is but if you're
solid
they of a god who's blessed and elevated
shalom
his brother he'll ascend it in his will
[Music]
to create a physical world washing
that everything off
even including the godly energy in the
world yeah miss salim mustafa
themselves conceal godliness to the
point
a person who's in business
she can make a mistake religious beyonce
it's my creative mind that's able to do
this and that
i went to school i'm trained
it's my accomplishment
and it's his wisdom that says wow such a
shrewd guy
so he's so able to to manipulate the
system
and not be and not not not only not be
caught but to find the loophole that if
you want to be caught you can get the
lawyer to argue and he'll win the case
so it's his genius
she's not got ever he conducts himself
based on nature allah really
is to to search to inquire
calling you on
he selects the most reasonable
way to to to get what he wants to get in
his business practices
we're still doing that yeah is this a
con artist
well let me see let me see how we finish
this thought i don't know yet
wait you know
when it comes to sales
he does all kinds of trickery and
deception
there hakmus and
shrewd weighs our pidakia teva
using nature the whole ayla um
he makes a lot of money a lot of profit
so i don't know
yoni if you have to say he's a con
artist no he's not a con artist
he's just a very clever shrewd
businessman who's figured out the system
and knows how to beat the system
well the
now again he is he's doing this
within the realm of nature okay
ain't no elevated
you're smart guy you figured out how to
use nature to your benefit
how to use the system to your benefit
but remember
it's only a garment
and not because of the garment himself
don't think that it's the clever system
that you beat and you figure it out and
that's spring in the broker
no because you could do that and guess
what and you don't benefit
the fact that you did benefit that comes
from the abuses
it gives an example the growth of
wheat
it's true it ha it goes through the sun
and the moon
gossip we make it through a shamash the
sweetness of tourists because of the sun
or mega garage the sweetness of
cucumbers is the moon
the insect nevertheless
they're only messengers of the hashball
the
yoda and the son of the moon don't have
any ability
to do better do good came only
hashem says to them they do
and by the way there's an answer to the
global warming of that whole issue
if the abrasion says that the world's
going to be and not
cease to be so yes in nature it looks
like it's going to
you know things are going to change but
the
if the if it ultimately becomes hashem
makes it appear that way for whatever
reason
but at the end he says i wanted to
continue it's continuing
i will say according to the laws of
nature
nature should dominate and dictate that
it dries up or it ends
that's nature that's a levous that's
like the
the sweetness coming from the sun and
the moon and all that
but as soon as the abrasive wants the
sweetness to go another way or to become
not sweet it would be that way because
the
at the the broker is always making
and the garment is only like
an emissary a mission a messenger
the actual is in hashem's hands
[Music]
we need to have a natural cc that i shop
the entire time it
i want andy saying like breast lift at
the other hand is saying like
he's saying yeah and of course
everything comes from hashem but you
have to make a levels you have to make a
garment
but don't so it you understand
they're making the garment it would be
like the chabad philosophy
and don't forget that the project comes
from god is like
it's like the brussels philosophy again
it's it's the
it's the torah's philosophy but i've
just in the hour discussion before i'm
putting into those words
well the frieza movement and according
to this we understand
this is what you alluded to the other
day you don't have to
you shouldn't you don't have to make too
long of a garment
it's unnecessary
to the one who's the owner of the wealth
and the properties
in the real estate the
yacht claimed and straighten your ways
and taylor mitchells
that then you become suitable for
hashem's blessing
she goes back to his theme in the mimer
you should become suitable for the
budget
that that was designated
by accepting
my that hashem did not give it to you
you beloved
okay now listen to this he says the
acceptance of the yoke
and his trueva are not
the purpose is not that you should get
pranossa
that is that why we have we we we
follow hashem
i'm following god's up so that you give
me prionosa if you don't give my
knowledge i'm not following you of
course not
hello look inside malcolm
both the kabbalah soil and rosh hashanah
and the true volume keeper
tia they should be true
on their own without any strings
attached
because that's the way it should be the
cause that became tiny but it should be
strong
all those things are personal needs
the illuminati because madame cream he
should have set times to learn tayden
police reminisce recover without
interruptions
no phones no emails we're learning now
after this next page go to your work
go work the yaspically come out and even
a little work there will be enough
is monolithic and of course everyone
asks
what is this how do i know what's a
little time
what's for me one little time little
times for you a lot of time and vice
versa
what's his point since you've already
gotten your budget
for nameship and the slovakian trademark
caleb they've been invested in vessels
of well that's the sweetest of ten
emanations of brilliance
here has been saying the whole time the
enemy said what's only lacking
the garment created by the
constellations
will have what to grab on to and the
spot that's given to you will be given
so in other words listen to this
you're not going to get more than than
than what you have in
your bank or your treasure bank i'm
talking i'm talking
regularly ordinarily i'm not talking
about an exception to the rule
where you win the jackpot or you win the
lottery
spiritually speaking so
but in order to get what's yours
you need a caillou la bush work
how much work mark
so this is an interesting kind of uh
thing to look at and think about
the difference be you know there is a
shita
there is a sheet in in in toyota in the
sky
to work and work hard doesn't she
not to work at all and then there's a
sheet that to work a little
now work doesn't necessarily only mean
you know uh you're standing in a store
you can work with your head you can work
with your heart
in other words there's learning and
davening you're doing mitzvahs
then there is the application so if you
go and your work
consists of putting on film with people
at the castle when you get paid for that
that's your work if your work consists
of going to visit people in a nursing
home an old age home
or in your neighborhood during corona
and making them happy and
you get some panosa for that that's your
work
but we mean things that are done outside
of the what your own learning and
governing for your own satisfaction and
needs and importance next paragraph i
know
if it's been established that you are an
individual
that is suitable because of your terror
mitzvahs
to get el resident you have
been given divine grace
which originates in what we discussed is
called the
the holy attic the holy
level that's so removed from there it's
so great
i think you say this is as we explained
canal is explained earlier through the
arousal of the swedish
it comes it gets lowered it's descended
into garments the calendar
of these three levels okay so it comes
from let's just
to take it comes from way on high
and it comes down um
and it's concretized and materialized in
the garments of
the constellations
is
if you have it already in your storage
house
a little work is my speak
that's what he says
if god forbid you're not yet
suited for the
has not yet been given they haven't
allocated
the funds to maxilus
that if it hasn't been given
at all to you and roshan kipper bye
you're talking to me turn off your thing
please
yoni yoni turn off your thing
ella filo
was not given to your treasure bank
there's not what to talk about you could
work from today and tomorrow
you're not going to get the money you're
not going to get dashboard
it's not there you first have to make
sure
it's in you know yours like today we're
getting your stimulus checks
the first thing is before they deposit
it you have to make sure you're a
candidate for the
for the deposit okay
but it hasn't taken the form of of
of materializing itself
so that it there will be able to come
from it
gosh music which is played earlier
all your hard
and this is practical this isn't
ethereal or you know
esoteric why is it
avi that sometimes we work hard and
nothing comes from it
gives us an answer right here and he
says it's because
for some reason you don't have that in
the bank
in your treasury because
if you were to have a new treasury even
a little work would suffice so you don't
need to work your head off
and
in my humble opinion and years of work
and
this is so true
this is so so true i recall
in my younger years when we was in marin
county
we were renting uh my car my
congregation
and people who brought my wife and i
there
they rented a house for us after a year
or so
i told them that you know to grow this
show an organization in a house it won't
happen
so they said but we don't have the funds
to rent a
uh an office space so i said okay i will
take the responsibility to raise the
funds
and so it was and we moved into a nearby
office space and we grew
but it still was a small it was eleven
hundred square feet i think that's
that's all it was i remember the i mean
where it was
and you know it was amongst so many
mostly not jewish people
in offices in suburbia america and
california
and uh seeing hasidim with beards and
some you know shabbos walking in 90
degrees with capotes
and and and jackets you know this was a
very different to what they were used to
so
the owner uh i must say um
you know he was interested in money he
was a very wealthy man but he just
wanted
money and and he was nice you pay my
rent i
then he supported us and i think he he
had some complaints
and he brought him to my attention and i
to explain to him what we're doing and
he said you're right rabbi
and he defended us so i give him credit
for us
you know for that anyway um
so came a point we were looking for a
property now the place we were in
was a a a 538 home community
it was in a community called lucas
valley
and we coined the phrase amec halukos
we lived in a mecca
it happens to be that george lucas of
star wars
his industrial light and film
outfit was up the road
and the road was called lucas valley
road
not because of george lucas but it's
soar protest
that he moved in up the road on a
massive property and that's where they
did their film
and so so
there wasn't la haveda there wasn't a
church in our community
they had zoning for a church and no one
built the church
so it was all homes and beautiful
mountains i
hill i assume you were there once in
marin right
this uh i don't remember where i was at
kabab but i was in
marin county many times many times okay
did you get up to san rafael
yes yeah yeah yeah okay so we weren't
technically in sarah fell
anyway so but you know in the hill in
the
in in you know not what the city was the
city the big city
anyway the point is i'm looking for a
property
there was one gas station on the corner
of lucas valley road coming into the
community
and i said i wish this property becomes
for sale
i'll try to buy the property raise the
funds to buy the property and build a
shoe
and then they won't because we had big
issues major issues with the
with our neighbors and uh we had a major
court case i think i've told you about
this i wrote a book about it
called house documenting all of the
legal arguments and it took
several solid years of my time and
it's a discussion for another time i'm
still looking for someone to make a
movie out of it because i think would be
a great movie
but anyway well i really was it was like
it was a major
uh victory and case in the courts a 48
page
i mean you're talking about xenophobia
you know you're talking about
anti-semitism talk to george lucas
yeah yeah yes i i guess i didn't think
of that at the time
anyway so so um
there was a gas station exxon i remember
the ground
and one day i see a for sale sign
i say wow this is it
we're going to get the x out not we're
not
not how we're going to get it my balabad
to think i'm off the wall
and i said we're gonna get this exxon
and i and i called texas and i got into
corporate offices over the phone
and i had someone uh architects start
drawing plans
and i spent a lot of time
and it all went nowhere because they
found there was you know
leakage under the ground you know
because they get the tanks
which is an environmental issue and
to get that solved would be years
if the accounting would agree
and i didn't have that time or interest
and i dropped it and i just remember
how i worked so hard so hard
and i was so excited you know so it's
right outside on the main road you know
so everyone driving by will see the shoe
see the building was the cabal you know
be great publicity and if someone's
going to the beach in west marin
you know from the the hippies and then
the dope smokers and whatever else
they'll stop off for a forum for a
thrilling for a piece of my zionists
you know this is you have to understand
coming from brooklyn
having a a habar house on lucas valley
road going out to west marin is like
you conquered the world you know
the state the the state flag in that
area is the grateful dead symbol
that's right that's right
you guys that haven't been there you
can't imagine this like
this is hippie this was
and and and with
nothing a shop says if the project is
not there
for you my mom and that's what i felt
i'm working so hard hashem i'm doing it
for you
why are you doing this to me help me a
little bit
the answer is this is not in the cards
for you and your guys and
for whatever reason i don't know why
so on one hand i felt like i wasted my
time it took a lot of
a lot of quickers and a lot of time but
on the other hand you know i i did it
i did it i did it with sincerity
but at the end nothing it didn't and so
the shop is telling us that before
you you conclude you spend so much
time verify if
the bracha is there for you now you ask
how do i know
that's that's a good question for that
we did it
for that we needed sadiq you know and um
sounds like that is the question that is
the question
that's right but but you know when you
say that's the
question many times we don't
spend we don't put the effort in to come
to the point where we say what is the
question
this is the question
in other words hashem wants us
the main thing is he says to be
dedicated to godliness
okay and then
when it's true given to you
know that it's hashem's brother that
makes you wealthy
gambimat asic even with a little work
and to your point my shirt this
is this is the issue
listen one thing's for sure before we
jump
we know that if the work gets in the way
of our davening and learning and and
being with family and helping and all
that
it's not good it's not it's not it's not
a mahalak
it's not an approach you know
both whether one is you know neglecting
the family and their own learning and
dividing because they want to make more
money and more money in it
or because of holy reasons you have a
family you know you can't go to this
year you have to be with the children
you have to do homework with them
you have to have supper with them you
have to talk with them and it takes time
and and it's a balance but
on the judgment of one don't make the
judgment of the other
because you're just hurting yourself and
hurting them
you know so
as with everything in toyota especially
in khasidis
especially this it doesn't
spoon feed you now it's up to us to take
our spoon and make sit down and make the
evaluation in our own life
so it's my it's it's nice if
someone tells you do this and that but
that was not
that's not what the trader wants and
it's it's not it's not it and especially
that's the
part that doesn't go you know uh rebbe
tell me exactly i mean
we were so today it's like that's not
that's not the mahalak
figure it out yourself you need a broker
we'll give you a broker
you have the ability but you got to
figure it out yourself
before he passed away when he spoke
about he said
i i've i've left i've given it over to
you people
to bring mashiach what do you mean
you're giving to us
yeah we're 42 years of talking and
educating you about
torah is not enough for you to figure
out how to bring the shield if it's not
enough 42 years i can't help you anymore
you know you gotta gotta stand on your
own two feet have it have a great day
everyone we'll see everyone tomorrow
bye
