Rebbe Nachman Predicted Modern Society: The Master of Prayer Part 1 -Rabbi Lazer Brody

Good evening from the south of Israel. This is Laser Brody. Thank you, Hashem. Back with Rabbi Aman's Tales. We're about to start a brand new exciting tale that many consider is Rabbi Nman's finest. This is the master of prayer. Today's lesson is dedicated to the full recovery of Buna Bina. This is Sunonny Ley's mom. And uh Sunonny, we hope that mom has a full and complete recovery very soon. So, we're going to begin the master of prayer. And like many people consider this Rebi Nakman's finest of all the tales and all the stories he told. And it's loaded with esoteric and cobbalistic imagery also with really cryptic uh references from Isaiah the prophet. And it's an when we look at it simplistically it's an uncanny look at our world today as if Rabbi Nman had unbelievable power of prophecy. We could see that the our spiritual greats they're like standing on the top of a mountain and standing on top of the mountain they can see far far away and they sing things that normal people don't do. Why? Because they're disconnected with the material amenities and all types of different lust and pe material appetites that people are chasing and they're plugged into divine wisdom. And as they're plugged into divine wisdom, they are privy to the secrets of creation and they can see what Hashem is doing. They have a better understanding, a deeper grasp of what Hashem is doing in his world. So, we're about to been the master of prayer and boem hope you enjoy it. It's probably going to take us close to Kaneka to finish this, but we'll take it slow and there's a lot to see and you could see you'll be able to do your own interpretations, see your own country and see what's happening just as we get there. So, we'll begin. Rabbi Alam says once there was a master of prayer. He was constantly engaged exclusively with prayers and singing songs of praise and gratitude to Hashem. And he dwelled outside the populated areas. And he would regularly go into them, into the populated areas, the cities, the towns, and to go enter into conversation with a person. And typically people that other people disregarded, but didn't have higher high social stature. They were low social stature. And he would talk to these poor people and he would uplift them. And he would speak to a person's heart about the real purpose of the world. Maybe the person didn't have much money or didn't have much prestige and slip the master prayer would say that uh that's not the purpose of this world to attain money and the purpose of the world is to serve Hashem and he would speak to the person's heart and he would say that nothing everything is inconsequential in this world that nothing is of consequence un unless a person serves Hashem and spends his days in divine service which is prayer prayer and personal prayer he and singing to Hashem and giving expressing a person's thanks to Hashem that that is really the purpose of life. Purpose of life is spirit to improve our souls to refine our souls. So the master of prayer would speak which person at length and he had an uncannability uncanny ability to go to a person's level to speak with a particular vocabulary and this jargon that that person will understand and go into a person's heart. So if it if it imagine if he would be in in South London, he'd speak in Cockney and if he was in North London, he'd speak in Lancaster. He spoke the local dialect, the local he had a he had a New York accent or a Texas accent, whatever needed. This is the way he would speak to every individual person and he'd speak at great lengths until his words of spiritual arousal would sink in the individual's heart and so much that the individual that heard him that he was speaking to would be aroused and have this urge to to join the master of prayer and to join Hashem. So what he would he would do he would leave his town and leave his city and he or she would go and join the master of prayer and they would master of prayer would take them away from the settled area and go out to the outback where there was a place outside the settled area where it was nice and quiet and nobody would bother. There's nothing but the the animals and the birds in the forest where a person could convene with a shim. And where his encampment was in the outback, there was a river and there were fruit trees. And so they had their sustenance. They had water to drink and they had fruit to eat. And the master of prayer told would really need nothing more than that. It's enough to keep us alive and keep us happy and it's right from a a gift from a gift from Hashem. So in this way the master of prayer would frequently venture in. He'd do sordies into the cities and the towns and he'd charm and persuade people to serve Hashem and to join his way of life spending time serving Hashem, devoting his life in serving Hashem and to break away from the chase that the rat race and the chase after money and the material amenities that really nothing is left of them because the material is finite. The body decays but the soul is he is here forever. So to improve the soul to and enhance the soul to uh to refine the soul and so people the way that the master of prayer would address the individual needs of each individual individual spiritual needs that the people he spoke to they would develop a deep in affinity a a love for him and they were ready to join him and they would become his students and they'd go back with him out outside the populated areas and to the outback and his habitat out in the outback. And they love this way of life. And the people that joined him, his students, his closest students, let's call them his disciples. They would also spend their time in prayer and thanksgiving to Hashem and speaking to Hashem and serving Hashem. And they would go a step further. They would refine their souls. They would assess themselves. They would do chuva. They would do penitence. and do all kinds of soul corrections and they would often fast and try and correct things that they had lust from their past their their former life in the city and they would correct us. They would go the opposite way and go completely away. If they had a lust for food then they would do a lot of fasting and they said no divorce himself for food and they would develop a taste for the almighty a taste for hem a taste for prayer. This is what was delicious to them. Prayer more than a steak and mushroom sauce. So the master of prayer would give his followers his teachings. He taught them all his teachings and he would write them down from them and they they took them and they taught each other and he would taught them how to serve Hashem. He taught them how to speak to Hashem. He taught them best way to express their gratitude and how to do penitence and the effective way. And he was involved as much as he had a greater and greater and greater following. He knew each one personally. He was involved with each one personally. He loved each one personally and knew their particular soul needs because every soul is individual. Just like we know if every snowflake is unique. Certainly every soul is individual and and if every soul uh the almighty sends a soul down to the world then that soul has its own particular correction. So eventually uh the master of prayer had his best students and his best students they became teachers also. So now they were attracted you had second and third generation students students of students and students of students. So rather than arithmetically 1 + 1 + 1, there was 2 * 2 * 2. The the population was getting bigger and bigger and bigger and more people were coming to the outback to look for the life-saving. But amazingly, as they came out, there was room for everyone. Expanse, a great expanse. The forest was tremendous and the river was tremendous and there was fruit trees for everyone and everyone could come close to Hashem and everyone had their space where they could serve Hashem. So he would ordain his best his prime most advanced disciples and he would sanction them where they too would go into the populated areas into the towns into the cities and they too would draw people closer to Hashem. So in time the master of prayer made a tremendous effect on society and the whole world. He brought many people close to Hashem and he took them out of civilization. He took them out of the cities and the towns and he brought them to a spiritual retreat out in the wilderness. So eventually the e efforts and his work they made a greater greater impression in the world and people all over the world started to become aware of the master of prayer his work his existence that there was some type of person the master of prayer who's bringing people close to hashem who's spreading the word of god and how to serve hashem so what happened all of a sudden from a different town or city somebody's family member would disappear. A person's son would all of a sudden disappear. They know where'd he go, what would happen to him like in thin air and it would occur that someone a family or a friend was missing and he couldn't be find anywhere that the police would look for him could not be found anywhere. So gradually the word spread about the master of prayer that there is this master of prayer and that he hunts people and hunts souls and he seduces them into serving Hashem. And so what they did in the cities they put up like wanted posters, you know, public enemy number one, master of prayer. And this is this is the evil inclination. Evil inclination runs the monetary world, runs the physical world and all the lust in the world which the world is built around the rest of society. We could see that Rebi Nakman, he's talking with tongue and cheek about modern society. You can see this more and more. And as we look, we're talking about all of modern society today. And so this a person who is bringing people close to Hashem, he's a public enemy number one. He's an enemy. And this is why the great Sadikim, they had such opposition. We always speak about the opposition on the field. The more a person goes higher and more the person is stronger bringing people to Hashem, then the stronger the opposition is. Just like Jacob had Esau's angel, who was the archangel of evil. This is the the Sahara, the evil inclination. This was the angel that Jacob had to fight because Jacob was the sadic and he was the epitome of righteousness and of simple and innocent pure service of Hashem. And this is what he had to face. So now we have the whole civilized world hunting for the master of prayer. They're trying to catch him because he's making a big impression on the world and he's upsetting. This is just what happened when uh we'll see in next week's Torah portion with Nimrod and Abraham. Nimrod was a idoltor and he was the head the king of the king of the civilized world and Abraham of that generation he was the master of prayer and brought all these people closer to Hashem so Nimrod finally caught him and threw him in a fiery furnace but that didn't help save him save from the fiery furnace this is the a generation we see there's a master of prayer in every single generation including ours including ours and sometime that not just the master of prayer but just like in the template that Rabbi Nakman is giving us the master of prayer he has his students and his students have their students and have their students you'll be second generation third generation fourth generation from the big sadic but the wonderful thing is it doesn't matter whether you're a second generation student a third generation student a fourth generation disciple you're connected directly to the master of prayer so this brings everyone back the master of prayer at the time of our slavery in Egypt was was Moses and Moses brought down the Torah. So everyone's connected to Torah is connected to Moses. We're all connected to the master of prayer if we are serving Hashem trying to get other people to serve Hashem. And this is exactly what we do in our group. But the master of prayer now he had a difficulty. He had to avoid being caught. He's like a fugitive. But he was very crafty. He was very smart. He was smarter than what people gave him credit for. So he would disguise himself. He would come into town and nobody would recognize him. And he spoke in all type of different accents. He spoke to every person as he is was customary and he would appear in different disguises. Sometimes he'd appear to a poor person like another popper. He look went to a hobo in a in a train station. He look like a hobo. And then he'd go to a rich banker and he'd be like a a wealthy merchant and nobody recognized the master of prayer and he'd go to third for for every person they look something different. Nobody could know they wanted to put up a a poster one what he looks like. Nobody knew what he looked like. So even more so the master of prayer when he would come to talk to people and he would understand that this person is a is a it's a lost cause. This person was so deep in in in his own lust and his own pursuit of material amenities and was far away from his soul and he was all completely body oriented and the master of prayer understood that there some people that you just can't convince. This is something that King Solomon would tell us. He said if if there is a place where people won't listen to you don't talk and if there place where people will listen to you then you do talk. So in a place where he would cover himself, if he thought that there's a person who is a diehard uh die hard into loss, die hard into bodily appetites and he's not going to succeed in fiskim, then all of a sudden the master of prayer would change the way he spoke and he would confuse people with words where they'd understand what his message was and they he would conceal his true motive. It would be bad to talk be talking about Hashem and bring coming closer to Hashem and the true purpose in the world, the true purpose of life. What are we here for? We're here for to eat and drink and be married. No, that we have a soul, not only our body and we have to keep our soul healthy and our soul is a tiny part of Hashem. But when he said person, what are you talking about? Body, soul, this and that. And then he would talk about uh some type of cryptic thing where the person didn't understand and he would be very elusive so that the person wouldn't understand that it was the master of prayer that was speaking to him. And that way if a person wasn't he couldn't help him, he would slip away without being caught. And his whole concern was just bringing people closer to Hashem. That's all the master of prayer cared about. Now the master of prayer he continued with his dedicated mission in the world and he was like a wanted criminal and people the more effect he had on the world on society the more people tried to catch him but no one succeeded we said before no one succeeded in catching him so the master of prayer together with his disciples and his followers they continued living outside the populated areas and they're only involved with spiritual endeavors things of a spiritual nature like prayer, like penitence, uh learning about Hashem and sing songs of praise and thanksgiving, composing songs of praise and they would continue with uh confession. Some people spend time in fasting. Others would abstain from certain material pleasures. Whatever they needed to correct, this is what they would involve themselves in. Well, the master of prayer provided for each individual person what that person needed. It's known that the true spiritual guide. So we learned from the Arizal the father Kubala Ashkanazi that he would know he could see into a person's soul and know what that soul need to be correct. The five main sadikim since Moses. According to breast tradition, there are five sadikim that had that power to correct souls. There were more on the way, but five main ones that they have the soul of Moses. One was Moses himself. Moses, what he did, he brought into the world the written Torah. He brought down from Mount Si and after Moses was Rabbi Shimon Bayai. Rabbi Shimai lived at the time of the Roman occupation uh right after the destruction of the second temple and his nuance was bringing the esoteric Torah the nuances of the zor we call the zora that this foundation of kabala after breastliff after had to wait for another 1500 years till he got to the Arizal Ashkanazi his nuance was kabala the Torah of Kabala this was based on the teaching teachings of Rabbi Shonai in the Zor. And then after the Rabbi Yitzk Laura Ashkanazi who we call the AI, there was the Balmto. This was another 180 years after the AR the BMT to his nuance was the was the Torah of theic doctrinesic doctrines. But this is exactly we're talking about one of the models of the master of prayers. The Balmto the Baltov went into the towns. He talked to poor people that used to be at the time where the Balshto was born that uh Judaism in the Ukraine and Poland and Russia was an aristocracy. That if a person had a rich father-in-law, he could sit and learn Torah and all that. This maybe 2% of the population and the other people had to work very very hard because there was much discrimination. A Jew couldn't own land. Jew couldn't be farmer. And they had to work in all types of either basic the peddlers or or simple merchants. They were limited in the way they could make a living. So there were few people that had money and they could had their their sons, their sons-in-laws learning Torah. And the rest were very simple people, wood shoppers and peasants and water slippers. And the Bostov went to these people and he told them that they too could keep Hashem. He's the one that learned them. They they taught them how to pray to Hashem, how to speak to Hashem. And he uplifted the poor population. This is what theidic movement did. It uplifted the poor population and it rid Judaism of the aristocracy. Okay? The ar the aristocrats didn't like that. But this is what theidic movement did. The fifth soul of Moses is the Bashto's great-grandson which was Rabbi Nakman of Breastliff. Rabbi Nakman of Breastliff. Here we can see that the master of prayer it's when we we could see one time I don't want to go into the coalistic undertones because it's it's all the the the tense fears and of of godliness this is all indicated here but on a basic level Rabbi Nakman it's like auto autobiog autobiographical this is what exactly what Rabbi Nakman did he was the master of prayer he is the one that a prayer so significant gave prayer a central role in in Judaism. People thought that that the central role was only talmutic learning and only learning and they would they would minimize the importance of prayer. Rabbi Nakman maximize the importance of prayer, maximize the importance of thanking Hashem, the importance of personal prayer and so we can see this is very very autobiographical about Rabbi Nakman and then the students Rabbi Nakman had his students and his students well became teachers. They had their students and on down this is the not only in in breast but there's the wholeidic movement built like that. This is the way that Baltov designed theic movement. His student was the mid of mezzich of mezich had 10 10 main disciples that the melik and rabbi caren and the balatana the first kabad reb and they spread the all around the world. Okay. So now the master of prayer we can see the master of prayer it's very much we're talking about Rabbi Nakman the BMPto the souls that that carried the the the torch of of the soul of Moses and the soul of Moses is bringing people close to Hashem teaching people Torah. I once when I spoke to a very big sadic in our generation, the Amno River in Jerusalem and I asked him uh who the biggest sadic is in their generation and the definition he gave me is the one that brings the most people close to Hashem and this is exactly what they the master of prayer this exactly according to the master it's still the ambi so continuing on with the story that the authorities all over the world are trying to catch the master of prayer. Nobody's succeeding. And he and his disciples, they continue living outside the populated areas, teaching more and more people how to serve Hashem and the workings of divine service. Now again, as many students as the master of prayer had, the master of prayer knew the needs of each single one. Both the Gomorrah and the Midish, they explained to us why King David became King David and why Moses became Moses because Hashem tested them and the way they tended their flocks. When King David and Moses would both do the same thing where they would go into a new part of pasture, they would put the lambs on the pasture and they would hold back the rams and the use. When the lambs were satiated, then they would bring the use and they the lambs would eat the softest grass and the 's would eat the medium grass. And once the youth were satiated, then they let the rams there, the rams would get the the toughest grass. This the way they worked at each one of the flock. And so Hashem saw if they could tend their flocks that way, they could tend my flocks. Hashem calls calls that his people his flocks. And that's why we talk about a spiritual guide that his people are his flocks. And this what we learn from. So this master of prayer was an expert in this. If the master of prayer saw that a person had a soul correction that needed to wear fancy clothes, the master of prayer would tell him to wear gold embroidered clothes and and he would he he would do such. He would list the master of prayer. And sometimes the master of prayer would take a rich person and have to wean a rich person away from all types of uh material amenities that he was used to and he would make him wear clothes like a hobo, tattered clothes, tattered old clothes. For each person he prescribed the particular soul correction what they needed for the good of their soul. So uh this is why every person found fulfillment of his needs to with the master of prayer and everyone found that the master of prayer was just what he needed. What Rabbi is telling about this is telling about this also an indication of Msiah. When Msiah comes, the Spartan is saying, "Oh, he's one of us. He knows exactly what the Spartan say. The Ashkanazim said, "No, he's one of us." And the say, "No, no, he's one of us." And the Lithuanians say, "No, he's one of us." And what are you talking about? And the other people, every single group of people going to say, "No, you one of us." Because as we learned in the book of Psalms, when we taught our lesson about the book of Psalms that just a king David, he was Hashem's anointed. That's the Hashem's anointed is Messiah. He was a king of Israel. He had the the all-inclusive soul. What we call the kaleidoscope soul. This the master of prayer. He has such a soul where his soul includes the sparks of everyone. So he knows the needs of everyone because he feels everyone. There's something else about the master of prayer. The difference between a master of prayer and say a political leader something. Take the political leaders today. Okay. Every single one is out for his own. that even the so-called ideology it's his own self-interest and clothed in particular ideology but not so with the master of prayer not so with the real sadic that he is completely devoid of self-interest since he is devoid of self-interest he could totally connect with the interest of another person and in order to truly love another person in order to fulfill the mitzvah of loving one's neighbor like one loves himself self then person has to negot to negate ego because can't ego that they understand to look for the good points in the other person. So the reba talks about that in Torah 282 looking for the good points in another person and being connected to those good points. This is exactly what the master of prayer did. So the master of prayer people that got to know him people that became his students they loved him. They loved him. It's like but they connected to the true sadic love the true sadic. When bashia comes everyone's going to love him. Everyone's gonna love him except except for the dark side. They're going to hunt him all over. So the master prayer followers they loved him and they practiced their fasts and their abstinence and they even self-mortification and so much they get they themselves the students became on such a high spiritual level that such things as abstinence and fast they was more tasty to them than the chateau bion that they used to eat that the fancy steak and mushroom sauce this was they love they they had the taste it's in Yiddish they call a gishmak that a good taste in their service of Shem. Okay. So, this brings us now to the next part of the story. We're about to learn about the land of money. The land of money. This is a big part of the story. It's a big part. We're going to see this today. Okay. So, the t time passed the the master of prayer. He's making a big influence, a big dent on society. So, there was this country that had enormous riches. Enormous riches. The whole purpose of the country was to amass wealth and it was such that uh all the leaders were rich but their behavior was very strange and the behavior was very disturbing was weird. They would behave weird. If you take a a person who searches and yearns for the improvement of the soul for the refinement of the soul you see someone chasing after money. It's a money it has uh Isaiah the prophet tells us in chapter 31 of Isaiah that that spiritually money has a stench to it. Spiritually money smells worse than manure. And that's not my words of Isaiah the prophet. He says okay so he said people you can see imagine if someone is is running to a mass in the cow pasture. He's running in the cow shed and hugging the manure and gathering all he can. This person's is weird weird. What the behavior is strange. So everything was conducted in the in the land of money according to the search the yearning for wealth. This what they were and every person's status was according to their income according to their wealth. They would have their survey and their their income return or their tax return and they would get their status according to the return. And that was the whole situ the whole society was built like that. So whoever had so many thousands of whatever their monetary unit was their pounds or dollars or or whatever it was uh he had some status a person had tens of thousands had a higher status person had hundred thousands a high status a millionaire a billionaire and so up the status this was a person's status and the entire structure the entire societal infrastructure of that nation was aligned with the money that each person had. So whoever had whatever amount of money had had to whatever determined with them they became a minister would become a king and similarly they had flags and the flags according to your income class you had on your car you had you carry around a particular flag. In other words the millionaires would say have a crimson flag and the billionaires had a bright blue flag and the other people. So they all had flags which would show off from far away. Hey, you can see, oh, this guy's a billionaire. This guy's just a 10,000ire. This is a 100,000ire, six figure income, seven figure income, eight figure income, and this just poor people. So, every income bracket had its own flag and this showed their status. Well, it was determined how much money that a person needed for each particular flag and the status. And this would be checked annually. The person had to maintain his status. He could improve his status. But if he lost his money, then he would be knocked down. His status was knocked down. And everything about a person, a person's value was completely according to money. And this is the way they established their societal hierarchy. So if a person just had a regular income for his needs, that would be a plain human. And if a person was a poor person, he was rendered inhuman. They'd say a person with a lower income would be an animal. Person a little lower income would be a a bird or a fish. It was even considered human. So, and within their society, they had fowls on two feet on two legs. They had birds on two legs. They had animals on two legs. They had a human lion. They had a human tire. They had a human pussycat. They had human poodles. You got your your poodle on the leash. The person that the the worker that maybe made a couple of dollars an hour minimum wage that it could be a person's pool on leash. This is what they were structured. So everything by them was money and the status of the whole country was only according to money. So now they heard that there's such uh oh now the the master of prayer heard that there's such a country that's built completely on money that the whole societal structure is based on money. And he couldn't believe how far people would go and how far they could be away from Hashem. He he even couldn't believe that a person could be so far from Hashem that uh the master of prayer was really upset. It upset him. Not that he condone condemned them and and said, "Oh, they're terrible. They're idiots. They're No, he didn't condemn them. He had tears in his eyes." Said, "How can it be in this world that there are people so far away from Hashem? We see that everything that the world is geared to it say Amazon and and social media and the advertising and all itself that it's materialism materialism materialism money and money and money uh master prayer she has a tear people have devoted their whole lives to things of no confidence of no co no no coincidence that Rebi Nakman who said that one of two things happen to money. Either Hashem takes the money from a person or either Hashem takes a person from the money but they don't have a future together. The only future, the only thing we take into our future is our spiritual accomplishments or prayers of good deed. What we do to refine our soul and bring our souls closer to Hashem. So the master of prayer's closest students, they were there and they saw how their teacher was so upset and he was he was so this this is the only thing could make him sad. The only thing was he was happy all the time. But when he heard that people were far away from Hashem, he was it brought him sorrow. He was sorry for them, not for himself. He was sorry for them that how a person could waste his or her life and be far away from Hashem. This brought him sadness. So that this closest students were there and they didn't ask the master of prayer's opinion but it hurt them so much to see the pain in their Reb's eyes the pain in their master prayer the teacher's eyes so what they did they did a sorting they decided that they would go and they would venture into the land of money the country of money and see what they could do because they had such pity for these people they had pity for the rabbi and they had people for the people that that that that thought that the lives was all about money and and nothing else. They didn't know about anything else. And this is this is this is the true spiritual leader. True spiritual leader. He cries about people's souls because money really money comes from explain it. We could do good things with money. The good things we do with money, the charity we do with money and the loving kindness we do with money and the the good things we do for a society with money. This is a correction of money because money itself comes from the dark side. The abundance comes from the light side but the abundance comes and dread down to this world. The real abundance is spiritual abundance. But the material abundance it gets tied up in this world. It's very very difficult for a person to deal holiness and money. That's why you have so many laws about money. And we see people they're even excuse me religious quote unquote that they get messed up when it comes to business because of money confuses them and they see people but does it because a person is rel religious quote unquote observant quote unquote that doesn't mean they're straight with money because money is such a temptation and we have very many laws and in religious law and rabbitical law about how to how to handle money. A person has to be impeccable in business. And that's why the Gomorrah and trackctate Shabbat says that the first thing that a person is asked when the person enters the heavenly port is did you negotiate fairly that's the translation the free translation but the Gumar says did you negotiate in amuna what does it mean to negotiate in amuna negotiate amuna means that negotiate in faith did you believe in Hashem when you're negotiating because if a person believes in in Hashem that person will never touch one scent that doesn't belong to him or her. Never. Because And they'll never never swindle a person. Never cheat a person. Not even not even one cent. For 10 cents. And you see how people they lie in business. They're swindled in business. They're not fruitful in business. All of a sudden, where's the where's the ethics go? Where's the ethics going in business? And you see this person, you see, he sits in the with the big wigs in the synagogue and the in the front row and comes to business. This is the explanation. This the explanation that is very very challenging to deal wholly with money. And this is the hallmark of the true sadikim that they're always giving. They're always giving. They're giving to the good cause. They're giving to other people. I know the reb the meliserbe I've never seen. He gives he he he he never leaves the synagogue with money in his pocket because the poor people come and he gives them everything. This son's great-grandfather the no milik used to do that also and the no milik wouldn't go to sleep with a dollar in his house. If there was a dollar wouldn't have that shem gave him shem gave him what he need for the particular days and the rest was to charity and for good deeds. So this is how they act with money. Money is a big challenge. And the people didn't know what to do with money in the land of money. They took all the money and they tried to amass it. They didn't understand the spiritual correction. They're far from Hashem. Who's Hashem? Who's Hashem? They don't even recognize Hashem. So, the master of prayer's closest students. They entered the land of money and they approached one of the people was apparently a very low status person that the person was called an animal. He didn't have a flag, but as clothes, he was dressed like an like an animal costume, like someone would dress in a in a costume parade. And they began to talk to him because they realized that he didn't have any status. So maybe he'd be willing to listen to something else. And they told him truthfully, money is not the purpose in life. You've got a soul. And they would begin to get their message and speak it to him. But he was so ingrained and that money is everything. And when he's learned then he he would worship he'd worship like the simple people. They worship the rich people. What do you mean worship the rich people? The rich people they not giving you anything but they would worship the rich people. And they were so rooted in their skewed way of thinking that the main thing is money. It's only money. So they would chat with another person. They go and speak to another person, the disciples. And the other person wouldn't love this also. there be another animal maybe a bird or a fish but and according to the the definition the status of the land of money and uh once they would begin to speak to him he says oh I don't have any time to talk your nonsense spiritual there's no such thing I don't have time it's all life is all money and they asked him the disciples why why do you speak like that so the poor person the animal or the fish and someone low status said because we must leave this country and go to another country because we've seen that the main goal is only money and this is what we brought up in. We learn and this is ingrained and this is what we believe in and we have to go to a country where we can make more money. You can see this is what they ingrained and and we'll see later that uh we'll see the country where they're ingrained in murder and the country that they ingrained in lararseny and the country they ingrained in lentiousness one by one. This is a little hint but the the main thing reb main country in the master of prayer and in the master of prayer the main country is the land of money the land of money and that's we could see this is modern society all of modern society geared to that who do people looked at and you see they make in the gods who do people make into gods what Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and all these people and maybe they their morals are terrible their department are are terrible. And you can see that uh what this guy was in the president's office and he put his shoes up on the president's desk. Another one would go and be interviewed, excuse my being graphic, but pick his nose on camera and they this is but but they had money and they're worshiped like gods and because that's so now the poor people they don't want to migrate to another country that has money where say South Africa they heard that there's gold mines. They heard that there's diamond mines. So, let's go there where there's money. And they had a whole religion about money. They believed in stars and in constellations that that whoever has so much money would be considered a star, a planet, a constellation. And according to the amount of money determined this where the the higher the higher is on the way up at the top is going to be one of the their their guys's god because they would see why the star it generates that land that produces the gold or produces the diamonds. So why worship the land? will go and worship directly the star that the star that generates the the effect that produces the gold because the star it's generate the energy from the star. This is a whole their whole theories that the star generates the energy in the earth that produces the gold and the diamonds and the silver. So if uh the star has that then that rich person he himself must be the star because he's got so much gold and diamond and silver. So likewise they said that uh they wanted to have constellations. So within their society here this person was a planet, this person was a star, this person was a a whole constellation again depending on the money they had and they were even higher. People were more money and they're above the stars. They made them angels. Ah this person is an archangel. That person's an archangel. And finally until they agreed that they should have gods too like like the Greeks and the Romans they had a whole series of gods that whoever had so much money and so many thousands so many billions and trillions that uh it must be a god. Why? Because god gives him so much money so he himself must be a god. This was their logic since god gives us so much money that himself must be a god because he gave him he's giving himself all this money. They said furthermore, wait a second. Now the rich people say, "Oh, we don't want to be contaminated with this world. There's poor people in this world. So now what they wanted to do, they didn't want to breathe the same air as the people of the other countries cuz this would contaminated them. They need their own rich people's air. So the they decided that they would find themselves very high mountains like um Mount Everest, go to Tibet and be above the atmosphere that normal people live and dwell and they could be higher and breathe their own air. So they sent people out to seek the highest mountains and finally the whole country left their country down in the the valley and went and made a new country up in the mountains. And each city from their old country, each city happened in the in this mountain range where they decided this was to be their country in these high mountains whether it be the Alps or or who knows the Himalayas wherever they went that uh each city would have their own mountain and the richer the city, the higher the mountain. And they made fortifications and they dug trenches around their cities on top of the mountains that no human could reach them and it would be impossible for anyone to reach them. Certainly some enemy like the master of prayer. No, he wouldn't be able to reach them and nobody could reach them. So they would go to their mountain and they made these formidable defenses and they appointed guards from the mountain so that no one would be able to reach them. We're going to hold up right here and next week we're going to continue we're going to continue with the new the land of the money land of money that this the highlands the money and we'll continue on. So meanwhile, have a lovely week and Hashem should bless you with everything for the very very best. Lots of closeness to Hashem and all your heart's wishes for the best of being.
