Sacred time - Kabbalistic approach to time management - Powerful instructions!! Rabbi Alon Anava

So thank you all for coming. First lecture in Florida Bashem haven't been to Bocar Raton for a long long long time. So I know it's going to be a very special lecture, powerful lecture. We spoke chose an amazing topic and a topic that I wanted to talk about for many many many many years because of two reasons. Reason number one, I'm pretty sure that all of you may know that about 25 years ago, what changed my life was that I went through a near-death experience. I got cardiac arrest after a strong abuse of drugs. My heart stopped uh for seven minutes and I had a what's called an NDE, a near-death experience, and went up to the heavens and experience what uh is almost impossible with the human mind to understand. And for the ones of you who heard the lecture, you maybe remember that right from the beginning I explained about the concept of time. If you didn't hear the lecture, then I highly recommend that you go and watch it after this one. But the first thing that came about to my understanding in my experience was that there wasn't any time. The first thing that I experience as a nishama as a soul is the fact that only this world is bound to time and the spiritual world there's no such thing as time. So that's the first reason why I wanted to do this class for many many years. Second reason is is that with uh with the time of me being active online, I have thousands and thousands and thousands of students and followers and I get in that amount messages from people. I meet people. I talk to people. Five years ago, 10 years ago, it was much easy. People had my personal number. Now it's in hundreds of messages per day. Sometimes I answer hundreds of messages per day. And sometimes people will send messages and they wait two, three weeks or even more. And in most of the cases, they will get an answer from one of my admins. There's no time. There's just no time. I wish I would have much more time. I wish I could go to the reality like this, like you go on your phone and enlarge the time and have much more minutes per day. But the reality is that with that volume of interacting with people, I come to very very clear conclusions about many different individuals and as a whole I am my own chat GPT. I question myself and my system spits out answers and I'm very curious about what's going on with everything that I do. How many people listen? Where they listen from? What what's the results? Because we need to constantly become better and better. So I can tell you I gave a class literally m Shabbat about difficulties in parnasa money all that I highly recommend you go and watch it if you haven't and over there I have explained many different powerful concept but in that lecture I explained the fact how one can if there was much more time for us to do things how much more you would be productive But I explained there in in that lecture about a certain concept that we all are obligated it's called that to give 10% of our earnings and I have mentioned in the volume of amount of people who are sending messages I can tell you that from my check and whatever I do my statistics barely 0.00 00 something percent of people were asking me questions about masot in the last two years I seen percentage the what people ask and I can I have my own statistics 89% of people ask about this about zoo marital relations I can tell you my my statistics but why am I telling you this because I can see that from most people my interactions most people their level of productivity is this it's like In Hebrew we say it's like it's you have 24 hours a day. What are you what are you pushing in that's 24 hours a day? Most people don't do much. I can tell you that from my observation 90% of your day is wasted and needless to say how it's pulling you back. And I'll explain tonight the whole concept. And more than that, I'm going to have to share with you a few private uh details about myself because I can only teach about myself. I can only give examples about myself and it's easier for me to do that. And of course, I'm trying to do that all in an educational way, not in any other way to pass on the information. But my life is very very busy. A lot of people don't realize the level of how busy my life is. And when especially when they're trying to get a hold of me or communicating with me and it's not because I want to because the koshu gave me as I have heard and learned a certain term a few months ago he gave me many hats to wear. I've met a businessman a few months ago who knew me for many years just as a rabbi and I started interacting with him in some business adventure. He's like I didn't know you do business and then he told me oh I see you're a man of many hats. In the beginning, I didn't understand what he's telling me. Many hats. I don't even wear one hat. What do you mean many hats? But then I understood the concept. And 100% of what I teach is based on my own experience and knowledge. If I teach straight from the from the book, then that's straight from the book. But most of my classes are my life, my experience, my learning, what how I practically put it down to action. and then I can come and give it over after I tested it many many times. So if I tell you something a it's based off of what I've learned b I applied it and more important it works. If it doesn't work I wouldn't teach. So for whatever reason I'm not arguing the master of the universe. Hashem gave me many many many hats and I'm all day long juggling on completely different platforms. My first and most dominating hat is that I'm a observant Jew. That's the most important thing. That's the center of everything. That's the pillar that is holding the entire system is the fact that I'm an observant Jew. And the term that I just told you is the most important term because people call themselves Orthodox, Cassidic, Reform, modern, ultra. This is all nonsense. You either observe the mitzvot or you don't or you observe some of them or you observe most of them or that's it. There's no other way to say it to define yourself to put yourself in some definition that's for you to kind of interact with the world and should people should know where are you holding but the reality is that the mitzvot are equal for all of us. You choose how much of them you do. You can do all you can do half. you can do some you have your own with the master of the universe but the fact is that we're all equal so first of all and most important the first hat that I wear is that I'm an observant Jew there's also observant non-Jews same Torah same God same mitzvot just that the non-Jew has much less of the mitzvah to do so one will call himself an observant Jew and one can call himself an observ vant gentile. But the point is that the main hat is the observance of the rules of the creator of the world. How you call yourself is irrelevant and actually childish. People ask me all the time, what are you? The last time I checked, I'm a man. That's that's where it ends. What are you? Okay. happens to be that the path of that I follow is that's it and I don't hold groups and people all the time ask me what are you where are you who are you so I find it completely irrelevant I go on a path that I follow the rules of the creator so the first hat and most important and I hope you're paying attention because everything that I'm telling you and teaching you eventually if you're smart. You walk out of this door and apply it. So if you don't want to write notes, it's recorded. H you can watch the rerun. If you are that smart to remember everything, uh maybe you can come and learn with me once a week in my yeshiva. Teach me how to memorize such information. Uh but most people when they go out of the door, it takes about 12 minutes before they forget 90% of what was talked. So smart people either take notes or go and look at the rerun because if you came here for anything but to change your life, then you're wasting your time. If you came here to whatever reason or you came here tonight to change your life and if you walk through this door with the right attitude, you you will change your life. If you don't, then you'll walk the same way how you walked in. So pay attention. Every detail here is important. The first hat and the most dominating and important hat that I wear is that I'm an observant individual and the focus of the entire day is Hashem. So when I wake up in the morning, the first two hours is Hashem nothing else from till that I come back no phone, no email, no SMS, no nothing. Because once you start putting in gashmood, that's it. Your day is over. Then I'll now I'm telling you a little bit of my hats. Wait, we didn't start. I'm just giving you a little bit of an intro. If you start your day without Hashem and the first part of your day, and that's 99.9% of you, you start your day with this, with a phone, because that's what wakes you up. I don't think there's many people in this room that wake up with an alarm clock. Most people wake up with their phone, which means that's what you touch the first thing of the day. You can already be 100% sure your day is not starting well because you started with that and you can give me whatever excuse you want. You start your day with this little device, your day is not going to be productive, successful or anything else because you're focused on the kipa and you're focused on paro and I'll explain everything in a very clear way in a few minutes. My entire day is leaning on the fact that I go by the schedule of what the Torah tells me to do. I start the day with Hashem. I end the day with Hashem. And throughout the day, it's all about Hashem. Nothing else. That's the main pillar. It's called I never found a translation to that in English. If you build a massive tent, there's always a pillar in the in the middle that's holding the entire structure. and all the rest is just support. It's called the pillar that everything is standing on. You don't have this in your life. You are wasting your time. Don't find success. Not to talk about happiness and all the rest of the stuff. Second hat that I wear, which that is not much of a busy hat, but a lot of energy is going to that hat is that I'm a man, a married man. I'm a husband. Now I don't see my wife much. I run into her in the in the stairway. Oh, hey. Hey. You know, at night sometimes I see her. Shabbat, of course. And then Shabbat is 500 guests, so I don't really see her. A lot of people don't understand. They get offended. I want to come to you for Shabbat. Well, this Shabbat I'm not hosting. I want to be with my wife and kids. How come you're not hosting? Oh, I've been hosting five 5,000 people for the last 10 years. So I barely see my wife. So it's doesn't it's here it's not the effort here is not time but there's a lot of effort in the little time that I have to be receptive here listen sensitive answer support that's a big hat to wear maybe doesn't require a lot of time per day but it's a very big hat to wear and I take that hat very seriously because a major part of my rectification in this world my tikun is my other half and my other half is my biggest source to all reasons and not reasons the the source of all the details that I need to know for my tikun. I look at my wife, she looks at me, I know what I need to do if I need to work on my patience and work on my anger and work work on everything. That's the the the the job of the spouse. So that's a very big hat. If you don't take if you don't take much importance to that role, then your marital life is so and that doesn't help at all. Next hat that I wear, which that is a big one, is I'm a father for seven kids. And uh because I never see them, so they go with me. You turn around, you'll see four of my kids because if I don't go, if I don't take them with me, I won't see them. No. No. They probably went out. They're they're they're shy. They're not going to stand there. But but I'm a father of seven kids and I take that job extremely extremely serious because I took the responsibility to bring them to the world. So I have now the responsibility to help support, design, teach and educate and so much more. But I can tell you that the benefit that I get from that is almost almost uncomparable to anything for my own spiritual growth. dealing with seven kids every day from an adult woman, my daughter is 21, to a little boy who's six. So all day long it's like talking a heart-to-heart conversation and lying on the floor with a ball and a little girl on me doing to me makeup. So you look at you see me with my kids you that's not right by that you know but nevertheless that's a big part of my life and the second that if shalom I neglect it I'm the one who's going to suffer the most of it now that we moved these hats out of the way then starts coming many other hats first of all I'm a rabbi to many many many many people that the majority of them I never met or I don't even know. I was in a crossroads about 10 no about uh 15 years ago where I have asked my rabbi I don't know what to do. Uh, should I be a rabbi for a small group of people, whether it's a yeshiva, a congregation, a community, but I'm their rabbi and they have my full attention. Or am I a rabbi to thousands? But if I'm a rabbi to thousands, I don't have time to talk to most of them. Maybe it's a hello. That's where how far it goes. And needless to say that his advice was no, you're going to be a rabbi too many. And it comes with a lot of difficulties because I don't know you. You know how how good fun is it for me to come on tours. I get to meet my followers. I get to meet my students, the ones who listens. Many in the lectures. I get to see the haters that come. But it's fun for me to meet who I'm teaching. Imagine I'm sitting and teaching. There's the same 20 people in spat. They come every day and then there's thousands in front of me. So just so we can move forward fast that is a pretty big hat and I have to take it very responsibility and very in this is not a simple hat because many depend on my answer or my whatever it is that's a very big responsibility takes hours of my day then comes on another hand that I have to run my own organization I mean I have a lot of help but nobody can do it for Okay. And that's not being the rabbi to the people. It's being the CEO, the president, coach, however you want, of a very large non forprofit. You know me because you know me on YouTube, but I have many other programs that I run, many other things that I do that take my time from morning to night. And just running that nonforprofit, that's another huge hat. Then to fund this uh adventure once I thought maybe I can depend on the kindness and the charitable acts of the public. Unfortunately a very small amount of the budget of my organization is from donations. The rest is from business that I own, products that I create and sell and I have to create money. There's not going to be any money. the system doesn't move. So that's another major hat and that is broken down down into many different hats. I'm just giving you the and then comes one of the most important hats that I am a human being. I'm a person that I need to take care of myself. And unfortunately I have mentioned that this hat is the last one because up until very not too long ago that was always the last hat. I was always the last one in line. So I was always need to take of my own needs last in line. But I'm a human being you know. Every human being needs some quiet. I work out. I want to spend out with time with my kids. Every person needs some quiet. Can you imagine what's going on in my mind every day? I have 50 conversations in my mind at the same time. I'm listening to you, thinking of you and answering you at the same time and managing all at the same time. But the I would say one of the most important hats is the fact that I am a human being like you. I have desires, I have thoughts, I have emotions. People think that I'm like some babasali. No, no, no. And by the way, the switching of my hats, sometimes it's it's in seven hats in in half an hour. I'm working, one kid is on my lap, phone here. I'm The reason I'm telling you all this because whether you know or not, I'm as much as I'm a public person, I'm a private person. Most people don't know nothing about me and I hope it will stay like that. I have my own life. People don't understand that 24 hours a day I have knocks on my door in in the home all day long people knock on my door all day long I can't even go from one place to the other it's very difficult that's another big hat by the way is being the nice guy the celebrity hey how are you times I'm like without breath running to a gate and people just literally happened to me literally when I flown out here to America I have horrible karma with traveling I don't or what I did in a previous life. Something with me and traveling, always missing flights, last on the plane, everything that can go suitcases going to a completely different country. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. My kids already know my how I'm like if I'm driving very fast to the airport. Uh oh, what's going on? So, so I have very very bad karma with with traveling and uh now I forgot what I wanted to tell you. See, sometimes my mind is going like 50 miles an hour and 50,000 miles an hour. We're thinking of the many many million things. Oh, I forgot something on >> people. >> I know. I'm just testing the crowd just on the way here to America. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. Of course, I'm running. Why do you think I work out only for running in gates in in in terminals? Once I thought, okay, I'm working out for my health to keep you. No, no. I'm running only I work out only for the running in terminals in gates. So, I'm running. I'm I'm this close to missing the flight and some person in the airport. I can't believe it. So I'm like, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah." So I'm like in my mind, okay, you have about 32 seconds to be nice and then you got to cut it. And then he Oh, my wife, she loves you. What? She pull he pulls out a FaceTime and I'm like And I'm like, hey, how are you? She wouldn't even notice that I'm running for a flight. In the background, passenger, passenger. The gate is about to be closed. I'm like, "Okay, I have about 14 seconds to make it to the gate. Nice to meet you." And but that's like sounds like totally normal. So this the speed I need to switch from modes. It's just Hashem's humor because once I had this much of patience and once I had maybe a second before I explode in anger. You just see how the koshu puts you on paths exactly what you need to do. So why am I telling you about all this? For only one simple reason. And you have to really be next to me. And I'm not saying that for showing off or anything. Just to pass over the information. Sorry to bother. If anyone can pass me a tissue, that will be very helpful. There is no no one is enough. We don't need like seven people. No, no, no. Not a used one. Oh, >> that will be very difficult for me to get it. >> Thank you so much. >> See, this is another problem. I came from Denver. I have a cold. First Los Angeles, now New York. I'm like, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold, hot. So the reason I'm telling you that thank you so much is not shalom to show off or to make you think anything negative or positive. It's only to tell you that if you would stand next to me for one day, I haven't found one person that can be next to me one full day and not complain or completely collapse. Not one in the last 20 years. And I have many different assistants. Each one is it's in how do you call it in shifts and not that I'm some superman by the way. It's because one little thing that we're going to learn about it tonight is that I know how to manage my time. And then when I know how to manage my time, I am productive like 10 men and I work like 10 men. If you would see everything that I do in my life, it's not even 10 men. It's probably like 30 men. And again, I'm not here to show off tell you I'm so amazing. It's basic behavior patterns, mainly a schedule, and you manage your time the right way. And it's you don't have to be the CEO of the world. But I can guarantee to you that most people here don't know zero nothing about time management and most of their day is a big waste of time. And it doesn't matter how busy you are or you can be right now between jobs, unemployed, you don't do nothing all day long. It doesn't matter what you actually do. I know myself and many others that have so much to do. They're more productive than people who sit all day long like this. And that's what most people do. Most people waste their time just on that. I'm not talking about many other things. Just this. It's already a problem. It's a disease. They need to start a new a new type of a meeting for that. Instead of an AA for anonymous, they need to do something for phone anonymous. I'm not joking. It's such a disease. And it's such a a silent disease that most people don't even know how addicted they are to this little device. We'll talk about that very soon too. So the reasons I wanted to give over this class like I told you a because of my own experience of time how does it look and b for the fact that hashem made me so busy but also gave me the right understanding how to manage that and to still be happy energized productive positive and again I'm telling you the last even just the last three months preparing for to the store maybe an hour or two a night I sleep maybe and I have it's a little bit of time to energize myself again so I can tell you already the the body can run on the the schedule of the soul now let me talk a little bit very shortly we're going to dive into the world of cabala because we need to understand first what's time when you understand what time is, then you know how to manage it and then you know how to utilize it for your own benefit. If you don't, like I told you, your life goes and you wake up after 70 years and you look back and you say to yourself, I did about 0.2% of what I was supposed to do. Forget about what I wanted. Most people waste their life. 10 years ago, I opened a seminary for women who want to learn Torah, baluvas, converts, and they're all mature. All the students are older women. And then I did the same thing for men. I there was like about three year period. I was the youngest stu student. I was the teacher. Everybody was older than me. Older men, they were older. That's the structure of the yeshiva. Older men. So I learned a lot about the older years of many people, their regrets, how do they look back, how their wisdom and I learned that most people reach to their end of days and they look back and the biggest thing that hits them is what a waste of time. I could have done so much more. I should have done so much more. I didn't achieve I don't want any I was about to say half of what I supposed to. Most people don't achieve this much of what they're supposed to. And I'm mainly talking about their spiritual rectification, not business, learning and achievements in this world because the yet is going to make you achieve things in this world, successful business, good career, and many other things that you think, oh, I'm really doing something in this world. But that said, distorting your path and you're really not focusing on your own rectification, your own tikun that you came here to change something. You came to this world only to refine your soul. You didn't come here for anything else but that. And when you're not focusing on that, you're wasting your time. And then time goes fast. I'm sure you all notice how fast time is going lately. Did you notice that? You do have the boom. It's already through Tuesday. It's already Tuesday. I can't believe it. I just did have a a few days ago and you all know it that the time is just zooming like that. You didn't even blink. It's already another Shabbat. Most people don't do what they're supposed to do in this world. And then first of all, it's a shame cuz they're going to have to do it again in another incarnation. And now, unfortunately, there's not going to be much more incarnations. Mashiach is coming. You got to get your you got to get your action very fast. More than that, most people don't don't really focus on that and how it manifests and affects them. And most people are either sad, confused, feel lonely, anxieties, confusion, many other things and they blame it on the entire world. Definitely not happy and the most important not productive. So first we have to understand that a person can fix things only by time. As they say time heals and also some of other cliches and terms but the tikun of everything is by time and we all came here to do many tikunim tikun is a rectification. I damaged something in the world in the previous life. I have to fix it or I didn't achieve what I was supposed to do as a soul and I came back to finish it. That's why we all here to finish what I didn't start finish sorry to finish what I couldn't finish in previous incarnations and whatever damages I did now you have to fix it. 90% of your challenges is you have to fix something. You don't even understand why it's coming to you. It's irrelevant at this point. But that's a if you know how to relate with it the right way, then you're doing it every day. Every day you need to fix something. Every after the prayer of we see a certain verse. Abraham it says was old which means on the fact that he was wise not necessarily at age but it says Baba Yamim Baba Yamim that every day of his life he lived to the fullest not 98% 100% every day exactly what he was supposed to do. Can you imagine? And most people they do maybe one or two or 3% of what they're supposed to do every day. And again how is that affecting them in most of the cases? Feelings of emptiness, sadness, depression, very not happy, very not satisfied, very impatient and judgmental towards other because you need to find who's guilty to my misery. The essence of time, this is something that is very very hard for us to fathom. Time is not what we are programmed to understand that is defined by seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years and so forth. Time is light or in the term of cababala it's called a shine, an enlightenment. It's not the light that you see from a bulb. It's a godly enlightenment that can come in many different ways. The fact that you see a physical product, that's a godly enlightenment. It's a a godly light came from a form of spiritual light manifested in many different spiritual worlds to become something physical. So right now you can say oh this is a cup and we have to understand that this is a cup but in the spiritual world there's no such thing as a cup or co for that matter rather there's the godly enlightenment that forms the cup cabala calls it nefish it's a alive li organism that enliven the cup and the easiest way to explain it that's hashem shining a certain type of light that is contracted by many type of tinsum of contractions. But what it forms is a cup or a bottle or whatever I want to pull up. It's a godly light. For example, if I hold this cup, if Hashem decides to pull out this, the cup will disappear. It's as if it never didn't even come. Which means that everything in this world has a a godly shine, a spiritual soul that enliven it. And if Hashem for one second decides that it disappears, it will disappear like your car keys that disappear exactly when you need to leave and you're in a rush and many other things and you but it was here. Well, the universe has to stop you now for 27 seconds because the won't fit. You have to be delayed right now for exactly 27 seconds and 10 part parts. So you don't see the the the the the keys that was just there. And after 27 seconds, it pops up again. Why? Because in the structure of of all the details, you had to be held up and delayed for those 27 seconds that you arrive exactly in the time you were supposed to arrive. That's why I never get upset when I'm late. I'm always late, by the way. Never. Doesn't matter how early I pro plan. Always late. I never complain. Call me nashim. Don't get upset cuz everything is precised on the minute. So this this shine that I'm talking to it comes in a form of time. That's how we recognize it because in the world above there isn't such thing as time. There's no past, there's no present, there's no future, there's no seconds, there's no hours. No such thing as time in the world above. When Hashem created this world, he had to create time and space. First of all, time that we will be controlled and governed by this time and space. Not space out there rather space where the world will exist because we exist is it is a physical world but we're located in a spiritual place where soatu creates space not as space out there rather misman the mak corresponds to the mem of the word mazal the line corresponds to the words time and the lament that's something different it's called limud what do you actually do with the place and the time that's mazal your mazal I'm sure you heard the term is not l a lot of people think mazal is l you know you wish people when they get married mazalto I never understood why you were in a wedding mazalto what you're looking at the bride and you're telling the groom good luck mazaltov But really it's not even luck. Mazal is not luck. Mazal is the spiritual tools that God gave you to fulfill your purpose in this world. So if you need to fill the your purpose with a certain aspect, Hashem will give you whether it's money or lack of money or a certain type of wife or whatever it is because that's what you need to do to to fix your path. So the Zman, if you if you listen to the to the sound of Zman, it also sounds like mazal, but it has the the very similar letters. The mazal comes from the word in Aramaic to something that drips down, something that comes from above and goes to below. The mazal is what's called a spiritual abundance that comes down for mighty which means that I get the tools to do my rectification. Most people I can tell you already don't forget about that they know what their mazal is. They're not even applying anything to do anything. Most people that I deal with they're nice people learned observant. Some are not that nice by the way. But but the fact is that most people that I talk to very few people are actually working and focusing on their tikun on their rectification in this world which is a great shame. It's a huge great shame that people don't focus on it because that's what we are here for. Now to explain to you a little bit about the concept of time. Time is what's called shinu change of form because if the time freezes the form stays the same right which means that when the time moves the form changes so time is changing of form every second that I move the form changes right my hands are moving you're moving I'm closing my eyes if I'm frozen completely no shua shu is changing to is a form to sidetrack and for you to relate with that a little bit more. We have four levels of existence in this world. Highest level is a human being. It's called a medela, a talk, somebody who talks. Then is an animal, then is a vegetation and then is an animate. When we looking at these four levels, we think that the human is the highest level. Thinks, talks, individuals, operates by itself. But the fact is the rule in Cababala is that mala mala ma mata whatever is from a very high source will go to the lowest of all the example that the teachings of cababala gives take now a very high wall like this imagine now hypothetically you push the entire wall you knock it down so the bricks on the top of the wall will go the furthest away and the bricks that are on the bottom of the wall won't even go anywhere they're just going to be right next to the wall so anything that has a very high root in in the spiritual world will fall down in this world to the lowest of all. So when we perceive when we something inanimate like a stone we think it's a piece of stone the reality is that the godly spark the nephesh the soul that is in that stone originated from a very high source in the world above that when it came down to this world it fell to the furthest down but its ability to see godly revelation is the highest therefore it's inanimate it's completely frozen it can't move It sees God like a deer in headlights. So we look at a stone and we think, "Oh, it's like a dead creation. There's no life in it." But the reality is that the godly revelation in it is such a high level. Like I told you, the nephesh, the godly spark in it recognizes Hashem and it's completely frozen and cannot move. Same thing with the inanimate, sorry, with the vegetation. The gilui the revelation is a little bit more. So you don't see the growth of a vegetation but you know you see eventually that it grows. So you'll put a tree come back after 5 years big tree but you didn't see the growth. It grows when you don't see it. It's like a a person that grows. You see a child 10 years later is a bigger child. And then of course animal and a speaker. So the lower the godly revelation seems but really the source is much much higher. So something like an in an animate sees a godly revelation and is completely completely frozen. The concept of time is changing the form which means that the form that surah of a stone doesn't change. There's no shinui there. There's no change there. But if for me as a human being there's a constantly shin every second unless you some somehow you froze like this. When is much less of this? When you sleep 10 hours you're just like this you move a little bit. When you up constantly you're moving. So the concept of time is about changing the form constantly. Next above time or okay let's say above time is different situations or to explain this shin our life is a pile of pictures imagine now if some of you are in that age if you remember the 18 mm 16 mm there was like a film And when you looked in the film, there was picture, picture, picture, picture. You remember that. For the younger generations in digital photography, it's called frames. And you have a lot of little frames. And when you record a video, how many frames per second? 30 frames per second, 60 frames per second. Of course, the more frames, the higher the quality. I'm talking about now in in technology. But every second is a frame. The reality that in photography every millisecond is a frame. But these frames that I'm talking about these are matsavim situations in your life that for the soul when the soul sees its life it doesn't see it as time. It sees it as situations and every frame is a situation in your life. Which means that you can either imagine it as a running film. Remember when we were kids, it was so fun to be kids in our time. Kids today are like when I was a kid, I used to draw in in a book every page like a little person that does something. And then when I flipped all the pages, the person was like walking and jumping and I was so good. He would do some assaults. And every moment of your life is a frame. When you put it all together, the frames start moving and creating emotion. But time is not a second or a minute. Time is a a shot. It's a frame. And that frame, that shot, that scene, so to say, of your life is something that you need to fix. Which means that every millisecond, you need to fix something. And of course, the most important thing is that that movie that I'm talking about, you can change by your actions. When you receive a opportunity, you can rewrite that frame. Like in our generation, it would be called editing. I edit the video. I cut what I want. I pull it in, pull it out, put my effects. Same thing. You edit your video. That's called chuva. That's called uh that you change something. Prayer filing. But every second of the day, it's a frame in your life. Just imagine how many shots are in your day. So the teachings of Kabala calls it matsavim or a situation or a certain time how we take it. I call it pictures. Every split second is a picture. Now I have to fix this movie. That's my purpose. Not to be rich, not to be poor, not to be a businessman, not to be a scholar. My purpose is to fix the movie. The movie is made a certain way. I need to fix it now. And every time that I fix a certain situation, then that frame is fixed. It's called the tikun. Now imagine just one situation out out of a thousand. Imagine now that my shama from the list it needs to fix, one of them is the attribute of anger. I know it doesn't sound so familiar to all of you, but believe it or not, some people they have this attribute that is called anger. And sometimes it's activated by them being insulted or their ego being stepped on or somebody hurts their honor and then they get angry. I know it's so I I know it's something that is really not familiar to you all. I know it's very rare. You can see it in some psychiatric psychiatric awards, you know. I know you don't know what I'm talking about. It happens to people that they like it's like a feeling that you burst out in anger. I know it's not familiar to most people, but it happens to most of us 10 times a day. So why is that happening? Not because something's wrong with you, by the way. And by the way, when we're talking about already about anger, I don't know to say in percentage because it depends on the individual, but I can tell you that most of the anger that you experience per day is has nothing to do with your tikun. It has to do with the food you eat and it has to do with how close you have this to you that you are exposed to radiation. It has to do with the chem chemicals that are spreading you all day long. All day long. I've been taking pictures since I landed in this country. the whole sky backwards and forth. They're sparing you. >> It's illegal. >> It's illegal all over the world. But nevertheless, no, no, no, no. Let's not sidetrack right now. I know you want to ignite my conspiracy side tonight. But, but why am I saying that? All this will affect you. You'll be agitated, angry. So a lot of your anger is the environment that you are exposed to. If you have a problem with anger, then I can highly recommend much less exposure to the phones. Don't sleep next to a router and your house has many routers or one or two or whatever it is. Turn the router off at night and many other things. I'm not going to give you now uh my opinions on that. you if you're smart, you could do your own your own research. But I can tell you that's a big part of your problem is radiation, the digestion of whatever you eat, which is mainly not food, and the chemicals that you are exposed to every day. That's enough to drive a person crazy. But imagine now a person that is experiencing now uh an emotional situation that arouses a lot of anger. his wife did a certain action that doesn't really justify screaming but it angered him and started an argument. Okay, happens every day to the best people and uh he's a smart individual then right in the way he understands that that's now a test or a challenge and even though the wife did the certain act that got him angry and by the way I'm giving some example it's not directed to wives and husbands just flow with me but this individual is very smart and he understands I'm not going to fall now for this challenge I'm not going to let this affect me and I'm not going to scream at my wife. I'm not going to answer back. I'm going to understand that this is from Hashem and like the person is working on himself and he decides to turn away the argument instead of an argument. He apologizes or whatever. It doesn't matter. You got the point. That person just now did a tikun a rectification to one frame that the frame was a a motion of anger and the person did cha and switched it to kindness to patience to understanding whatever it is that person did a tikun in one second one second that you hold your tongue you don't curse you don't get angry you don't become judgmental you don't become impatient one second of an act that you do and one frame is fixed and at night when you go to sleep you elevate that frame back to its source and you did your job that you have to do not because you want to you have to do it and like that you fix every day frame after frame after frame now I gave you an example with a husband and wife fighting and the husband works on his anger that individual has to work on his anger 20 times a day that person cut him in line. That person went like this with the car. That person didn't do this and that. This individual didn't deliver the job he was supposed to do. The person is all the time challenged with situation that arouses his anger and impatient and he needs to reverse it to control it. So in that moment he fixed one frame. He she and every situation in your life is a frame that you need to fix. So when you go like this, you know what you're fixing? Nothing. You're wasting your time. Precious time that you have to apply to important things. And when you don't do your tikun, your rectification per day, it rolls over to the next day. Like the phone companies used to do once. Remember they give you 500 minutes, you didn't use them, it rolls over to the next. That's why you are tired. That's why most people lose their hope. That's why most people are heavy, sad, all that because you are carrying days of tikunim of rectifications and you feel tired, less energized, definitely not productive. A week ago, I was right right before we left. I'm sure you all already know I produced my own wine. Now I started selling it. Now before coming here, we have new types of wine. Everything was supposed to be prepared to the trip. Not everything works how I want. Not everything is here like how I wanted. But again, another test from Hashem. But what I wanted to say is that one night we were the next day came a delivery of a truck picking up the pallet with the wine to take it to the airport. So we had a deadline and we had to bottle the bottles with wine, put the stickers, everything. And I do everything. I'm the mash. So I I have to be there. It's a few people. We had to work all night. At 6:00 in the morning, I'm like running like a like a I don't even know how to call it. H Energizer Bunny. Okay. And all the young ones are like and when I spoke to one later to one of my workers, he's like he's like, I never seen h how weren't you tired? How how you why? He didn't understand. And I told him because when you utilize the time every moment to what it's supposed to do, then you don't get tired. A lot of your tiredness, again, I attribute a lot to your what you eat and everything else. Half of the problems you have is for the three reasons I said, the food, the radiation, and the chemicals. Now, I would highly recommend to change in your life right away. But, but when you do your tikun, you have a lot of energy because you're bringing down a lot of light to your nisha. You don't feel tired. you want to do the next one and the next one. So next time that you're dealing with time, don't think of it as time. Every second is a tikun, an opportunity to do a tikun, a rectification that when you do it right, not only that you're fulfilling your purpose, you're getting your spiritual points. By default, it's making you more energized, more successful, more focused, of course, because you're going on the right path. Now I told you that we need to fix the movie. If you run the pictures fast then of course times runs fast. When time runs very fast it means that the the shape is changing way too fast. Too many frames. When time goes very very slow. When did you ever experience time going slow? >> School. Shabbat shalom. Boy. Who said that? Shabbat. I've Shabbat flies to me like it's I blink a blink of an eye and there's no Shabbat anymore. Alite Shabbat goes very slow. That's a problem. You know when time goes very slow means that there's no shinua. You're not doing nothing. When a person sits in jail, it doesn't do nothing. Time doesn't move. Shabbat not a good example. Or Shabbat. Shabbat. No, no, no, no, no, no offense here. I'm just saying Shabbat. Let's let let me explain it different. When time goes fast means that the the the the frame is changing too fast. You know why now time is going too fast? Mashiah is coming very soon. I know it's very hard to people to understand that. And I know people tell me, "Yeah, but you've been saying that for 15 years." Trust me, you don't want it to come fast. It's going to bring you to such a state of being dizzy. Hashem knows what he's doing that he's bringing it slowly and slowly and slowly because most people not are ready to digest what it's about to happen. Therefore, you got to get through the program fast. And the reason why the time is going too fast because there's no more more time for the tikonim. Look how much time you're wasting. Shem is giving you little time. That's why the frames are going so fast because there's so much what to do. And again definition of the time is a revelation of these situations that are a frame in the world above in this world in my near-death experience. The final place, the final stop was a trial. I was trial for everything that I ever did. And at that point, they showed me a movie of my entire life. It was a movie. In my experience, it was a little bit different because I was in my body filling my life again. I came back to this world. It was like a weird deja vu. I was back in the body. But this time, my real me was out of the body in the corner of the room looking with 700 senses. Which means every frame that I saw, if this is a room like this, I was standing in the sign. And the frame that I saw is every world of every person. There's no time. So I was able to see everything in each frame. And every frame that they showed me, they showed me my life. Good frames, bad frames. And when I'm saying a frame, snapshot. So they showed me my entire life. And everything was shown. What was shown to me is the physical act and then the spiritual result in the world above. But the fact was that every s second of the life was a picture. I didn't see it as a running movie. It was one picture and I was able to look at the picture and then a second later it's almost an identical picture just from this angle. So now I'm able to see all angles of what was going on in one situation. So time is the revelation of the situation. This matav in the world above down in this world. Do I need to say it again? Okay. Time is a revelation of a situation in a world in the world above but it's shown to you in this world. We call it time. I call it right now a picture a frame. That's the definition of time. So really if a person lived 80 years, did he live 80 years? No. Take 80 years times that 12 months times that 24 hours a day times that how many minutes per hour, how many seconds per minute, how many milliseconds per second. That's he didn't live 80 years. He lived 82,736 pictures situations. That's how it's counted in the world above. Not in time is how many situations now if a person dies young there was very little frames to fix a person died older much more frames to fix I know it's tragic when young people die but they finish their tikun on the side of the nishama the soul it's the biggest thing that can happen for us it's a it's a tragedy we see little kids die teenagers young people for us It's big tragedy for the soul. It's the biggest thing ever. There was had very little to fix. Now, in order to understand how to deal with time, let's learn very quickly the laws of time. I'm sure you're all familiar with the Chinese concept of ying and yang. I'm sure you all heard saw it. the circle and inside half of it is white, half of it is black and has like a dot. And by the way, all the philosophies of all over the world is all based on the Torah. All the wisdoms of all cultures, they come from Abrau. When Abrau after Sah died and he remarried Hagar, he had more children with her. And after they were adults, he sent them all to the east with presents. So he didn't buy them stuff on Amazon. Every child got one present a streak of knowledge and it can be the Japanese, it can be the Nepalese from Nepal, whatever wisdom they have. If you go to Japan, half their thought process and their culture is sim very similar to us, they also have something sim similar to a mikvet. They have how forms how they pray. Abrainu gave all this knowledge. Abrain was a big mikubal. Wasn't some old guy with a you know with a shaky hand. Ramavu got the the teachings of Kabala and he simplified that. So Rahavu was able to teach his children these presents and send them out. So why am I saying that? Because all the wisdom that most people know, it's all based on on the teachings of the Torah Kabala. Now since the ying and yang is much more familiar to most people, I'll take that as an example. The concept of ying and yan is day and night. Day of course is light. It's white. night is dark. It's the black part. But the time when the day and the night shifts, it's not instant because then it would be a square or a circle cut in half. You see that when the white becomes bigger, then the black becomes smaller. In our terminology, this is called and when the becomes overpowering the then the will start minimizing and becoming small. Imagine the the the drawing of the ying and yang is what separates two parts of the day. The daytime and the night time. when the nighttime is what we see that's the arousements of the dean of judgments when the sun comes up then the the the becomes more dominating. So the the law here is that there's always going to be two motions that when one becomes stronger the other diminishes and when the other becomes stronger the other will diminish. very simple constantly imagine the the drawing of ying and yang that's just that we don't call it ying and yang we call it we call it the 10 emanations of hashem now the spir that I'm talking about it's not all 10 spirat I'm talking about the seven spir because the first three are not even called they're called they're called intellectual part of the spiritual existence whether it's ket It doesn't matter right now. the that's what I'm talking about and six of them are what's called male and the last one is the female sphere which is called not going to talk about much about the spirat right now but hashem has a mechanism how the godly light comes down to the world controls the world governs the world all happens through this system that is called the tense filot The godly revelation is just coming to us in seven levels. That's why you see that in Judaism everything comes in sevens. But the godly revelation that we are experiencing is divided into seven levels which I rather call it seven aspects than levels because when you say levels you think one is above the other. And I know many people think that the spir are above the other. They're not. They're one inside the other. You have to look at the spir from above. They're not above the in level. They're above the other. But we imagining it physical. It's not like that. It's rather inside. The kettle is all the way inside. And then the spro they go around. So we perceive it as maybe time. This is all spir. So the time acts according to seven levels corresponding to the seven spir. And this time that we're talking about is to pass on this godly light from the world above to the world below. That's how we perceive it as time. But really it's what's called this godly light comes down lower and lower and lower and then it gets dressed in the world according to the capacity of each entity each creation according to their vessel and that's how the light gets dressed so to say in this world and you don't have to really understand to to the every little detail what I'm talking about I just want to give a little background a more cababalistic approach to the concept of time you don't have to if you don't understand everything that I say it's not so important right The time was created in order to bring down the godly energy, this godly light down to this world. How? Through the spir. And the spir it's called aik certain process or descending chain. Every receives the light, processes it, and brings it down. The last one that receives this light is called the the six. That's the most important one because that's where things transform. That's called the the shinui the changing of time. And therefore you see that when it corresponds to our world Friday is a very unique day. All seven correspond to the day is Sunday is Monday and so forth. So is Friday. Friday is a very unique day. It's half regular day, half holy. So we have to focus on the sixth day. But the sixth day is so to say in the process is the time of change. It receives all the light summarizes what happened here. And I know I I will simplify everything that I'm saying right now. Just follow with me. The sixth spir processes the light that it received and then it gives it over to the last which is which is a female corresponding to Shabbat and what is Shabbat in Hebrew says it's receiving this light receiving this energy and then rest stop. You receive this energy, this light, this blessing and then you stop and then of course on Shabbat if you did what you were supposed to do throughout the week and then you elevate everything to its source and then Shabbat goes very very fast for you because you did what you're supposed to do throughout the week and Shabbat you are receiving now all this shea if Shabbat goes slow to you something was not done the f the whole week. If Shabbat goes very slow to you, sorry, if Shabbat goes very slow to you, you didn't do right this week. If Shabbat goes very fast to you, you did very good. Okay? With exceptions. So the six spirit called that's the most sensitive. That's why in our generation the the most challenge that we have as a generation it has to do with the brit with which of course in our language it's anything that has to do with promiscuity and all that department and what is every is corresponding to one of our great sages and corresponds to Ysef what's the attribute of Yseph is gather gathering like his name Yasov. What did Ysef gather? He gathered a lot a lot of food for seven years in order to hold it that sex next seven years he has what to give as food. That's the concept of Yseph lasso to gather more more and then I have it and when when do I use it? when there's a lack, when there's a deficiency, I can use what I have collected. And the attribute of Ysef is to gather it on the sixth day and then give it over to the Mood. This is a very very quick explanation what the teachings of Cababala defines and teaches us about time. And I know it might have not been that clear. I tried to make it as clear as possible. But the rectification that I need to do comes according to time which means that I can't move when the tikun has to happen. It's on the minute on the second. That's why you cannot and should not try to move things faster push something to happen. I know a lot of people who are single they want to get married today. Don't push it. If you need to wait now two years or five years, that's what you need to wait for the tikon, it comes in the right moment. Same with having a child. Same with parasa. Same with everything. You try to push something not to happen in the right time, it will be a disaster. Everything has to come in the right time. And you have to be patient and you have to recognize when the right time is. But the tikun, the rectification is coming according to time. And one of the main things you need to remember when you're leaving this door tonight, it's all about your tikun. What you are rectifying in this world, it's not about anything else. Not how much money you'll make, how successful your business will be. If it's written in your mazal for the business to be successful, your business will be successful. If it's not successful, it means you're sinning in certain departments and you're stopping the shea the the energy from coming down. That's it. Simple math. Life is very simple. just figure out what you need to do. Most people are not focused on their tikun. So, they're kind of operating every day. I like to call it full gas neutral that you put the gear in neutral and you press the gas all the way besides a lot of noise and the RPM going very high. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. So our entire existence is to fix things and we see it as circles of time whether it's a day, a week, a month, a year, it always repeats itself. This we're constantly going in these circles of time and my entire existence is to fix what I need to do in this world. And needless to say that if I'm not doing that, A, I'm missing out. B, it will affect me in a very negative way. And that's what was happening to most people. Now once you understand the concept of time, then now let's bring it down to this world. How do I actually manage what I need to do? So, Hashem created the world with many, many, many different tools. depending on the level of which creation. But to simplify it, Hashem created this world with many rules. You break the rules, you suffer. You follow the rules, you're successful. One of the major rules is that the kadosh created everything defined in time. And when we're looking at the day, every day the day is divided to 24 hours. Why is it defined like that? Why is it defi divided into 24 hours because we are we have some such a thing as time. No, there's no such a thing as time is because Hashem used a certain combination of the letters that form his name to create a certain path for the light. Now let me explain that in English. Hashem's name yud vav can be written in 12 different forms. The first one of course is yud and then a he and then a vav and then a he and then it can be a yud and a vav and a hei and then in a yudv hey and you know it changes its combination. Same thing with Hashem's name if you can write it if it sounds like and then but it can also be written different combination. Every hour of the day is a different combination of the order of the letters during the day during the night. 12 situations how the light comes into the world. Now again, not a godly light, a spiritual light. We see it as the sun going up and then it goes down and when it goes down becomes darker and then the sun goes up, it becomes lighter. That's what we perceive with our eyes. But let me take you in the time machine. When I was a kid and I used to go to the theater to the movie house then before the movie started then there's a there was a projector in the back that would throw lights at the screen and everybody will do all sorts of hand movements like that and the light would be stopped by the hands but it would create a shadow on the reflecting screen. That's what Hashem does. He throws his godly light to this world. If you would have the ability, this go light is called omhat a light that is just spread everywhere. No definition, no, you can't capture it. We we're not in this level. We'll probably never be in that level. So, Hashem has to start contracting the light so we can relate with it. But when it comes to projecting the light, Hashem projects his godly light on a reflecting surface, which is this physical world. What's the reflecting surface can be just a white wall. So the reflecting surface doesn't mean much. What makes much more sense is what is the object that is stopping the light. And the object that is stopping the light like in the example that I gave you like that and that will make on the screen a bird or whatever it was. So, Hashem puts his godly name. Again, I'm trying to simplify it as much as possible. And when Hashem writes yud vav and you project the light through the structure of the ladder, what will be on this on the wall? The image that is the obstacle, right? If the light is going through a mold of yudk vav then what would show on this world on the reflecting surface is these letters and the second that you change the order then what's reflects on the surface is completely different. So every hour of the day this structure switches and what is reflected in this world from this godly life comes down completely differently. So there isn't 24 hours in the day. There are 24 situations how the light penetrates into this world. So practically saying every hour something happens. Something shifts every hour. It's important to know that because when you want to run your time the right way, you need to be focused on what's going on in regards to this definition that we are now acquainted with that is called time. Because if you were a sadic, there's no time for a sadic. That saddic sees frames. You need to get to a point that you see these frames. And you don't have to be a sadic for that. A sadic is a righteous individual. You just need to be focused on what you need to do. And of course, eliminate as much of sins as possible because the sins they blur your vision. You do any type of a sin, of course, if it's a big sin, the blurring will be much more. Small sin, the blurring will be little. But imagine you're driving here in Florida. Perfect example. There's a shower rain. How do you call it? Shower rain. Rain shower. Suddenly, you know, water is coming up from Sham. I never seen anything like it. You drive like 15 seconds, you can't see nothing. And like the amounts of water that come here. So that's exactly the thing. When you sin, you blur your spiritual vision. Like a lot of water on the wind windshield, you can't see. So no guidance, confusion. You're not focused on what you need to do. And most important and worse is that your vision on the frame that you need to understand. You can't you just can't analyze the frame at this point cuz you spiritually blind. And when you understand the frame, the picture and you stop and you see it from above and you understand this frame is not a frame of anger. This frame is a frame of patience. This second of my life is not about cracking down. Oh, getting angry or being judgmental. No, change the frame completely. But you have to recognize the frame you are looking at. That requires great humility. Understanding that you are just looking at the video now and you are a video editor and you are required to change the errors and you just need to follow. Now, of course, I'm sure you're all going to ask how am I going to know that? I'm going to find out the Torah caters everything. That's why the Torah is here. The Torah is not called a Bible. I disagree with they call it a Bible. The Torah is called Torah. Don't call it any other name because you're switching its essence. And the reason why it's called Torah because Torah comes from the word in Hebrew to teach. The Torah comes to teach me. It's a guide. It's a manual that tells me what to do in this world. And if I follow the Torah, I can walk straight. I don't see nothing. I won't trample on anything. Why? The Torah guides me. I know it sounds very restricting and a lot of rules and no, it's a guide. And the same way that you will follow rules when it comes to something that is very important to you, then that's where you that's where you get all your guidance. I have four kids. All of them somehow got what I like. They like the toy Lego. You know the toy Lego. You know that if you skip one of the pages in the instructions, it doesn't work. So the Torah is every page is a page of instructions. So why why wouldn't you want to listen to what the Torah says? I know it's very hard in many situations. But you know why it's hard? Because it's not familiar. And when something is not familiar, then it becomes hard. But the guide of how to do that's the Torah. And we're not we can't talk about this even tonight. We don't even have enough time. But the Torah will teach you how to apply and approach what I'm saying. But when I want to live to the fullest, then I have to understand that time is against me. I don't have time. There's very little time and a lot to do. Our sages intracted a vote in the essics of the father says he has so much to do and you have little this little time very little time you have in this world to do what you need to do and that's why it's blowing my mind and annoying to see this all day long now you have to understand how the system works we are all in mitim mitim is not necessarily the country south of Israel mitim is a state of mind comes from the word in in Hebrew Mar is a limit. Something that limits you. I don't like being limited in any way. It's very annoying to be limited. I want complete freedom to do whatever I need to do. Technically, I would want to have freedom. So, if I need now a million dollars to build the yeshiva, boom, a million dollars shouldn't be a difficulty. If I want money to feed now a lot of poor people, shouldn't be a difficulty. Why? Should be a difficulty to do something good. The bad things is easy to do. The good things is hard. So if your mind is not set on this entire approach, then you're going to leave this door tonight the same way you came in. No tools, no change. Live your life. You're walking on a treadmill. You're not doing anything. You're actually not doing anything. And you think you're doing that yet is going to make you feel so successful and productive. And by the way, could very much be. It's a very large crowd that what I'm saying is not 100% for each and every one of you. Don't get angry when I'm not talking to you and it's exactly your life. I have to talk to all of you. So, some of you are more on top of their time. Some of them some of you are less. Every second of the day is a situation that you need to do something. Now you need to first you need to actually bring yourself to the point that you understand that every situation in your life every moment is something to do which means that when you don't do it the Torah calls it Torah that you just have time and you have to apply Torah or learn and you don't doing it and it's one of the worst sins because Hashem tells you I gave you time and you're not using it. You're wasting what I'm giving you. You can buy time. You can buy almost anything in this world. And the reason why Hashem now is making everything accessible to us in levels that we never had is that for the smart people to understand that the only important thing that I need I can't buy. Has no price, no price tag, no market. You can't go now to the market and buy time and you can't sell time. Do you understand the importance of time? It's a product that you can't acquire and you lose every second and it goes against you. So first of all has to be a complete switch in your mind how you live your life and if you don't do the switch it won't work. The switch has to be like I told you first of all the hat that I'm wearing is I'm serving the master of the universe. If I do not do my part in this world, all the abundance, all this shea, this energy, this blessing, call it however you want. It doesn't come because I'm not a channel. I am not aligned with this channel. So I can't receive it. Who's the one who suffers? Only you. It will affect you financially, emotionally, health, everything is affected by the energy that is coming from the world above. So first thing you need to switch in your mind that I am a servant of the master of the universe and that is the pillar and it doesn't matter how you define yourself I'm religious I'm not religious I'm observant it's irrelevant how you define yourself and that's why I started by telling you don't define yourself people come and tell me oh I'm not that religious okay so don't eat today what does it have to do if you're that religious or not that religious the mitzvah has to be done the right way I have a friend and for many years I tried to convince him to put salin on and I would call him every day or second day to follow up. you did you put fill in today? One time I called him and he told me you know to the no today I'm not putting fill in. I told him why he's like I don't want to become fanatic. He's like I'm going to be like you putting fill in every day. I told him that that's not about being fanatic is that's how you do the mitzvah. It has to be done every day. If you're missing a day you're missing part of the mitzvah and it's not making you fanatic or not. You're just doing the mitzvah the right way. When I became observant was very difficult to me to become observant. I was 27 years old now. Change your life 180. I knew I can't handle the whole thing, but I had an attitude that whatever I do, I do the best. I don't do everything, but whatever I do, I put my entire effort, my entire mind, all my money, I do it the best way possible. I'm not going to do it halfway. So to be practical here, you have to understand the major problem that we're facing. And I have started explaining to you that we are all in mitim and mitime is not a physical country south of Israel. It's a state of mind where you put yourself in and it's a state of mind that limits you. And the more you limit yourself, the more you are stuck in your mit. And your mit can be your bad habits, smoking, alcohol, this is a mit. Anything that limits you is a mitime. And in most of the cases you limit yourself. can come physically, emotionally, spiritually. But most people are stuck in their limitations. The things that we are mostly familiar is bad habits can be smoking for a lot of people. But you know that being very judgmental and every day you're judging people or hating or jealous or anger or impatience. That's your mit too. You know that people lose their careers, their relationship with their wife and kids because they can't control their anger or any other abuse of it can be substance or whatever. Most people ruin their life because they can't go out of their mit and their mit is not necessarily physical addictions which are horrible. It's the spiritual lack of acting and your own change and refinement. That's your mit. If you are a very judgmental person, that's your mit. That's your limitation. It's stopping you from spiritually growing. And I don't care how right you are in the situation. I know you're right. You know, but there's two sides to the coin. The other side of the coin also have an opinion. And not always you're right. So what's the concept of mitim? That there's a king that is controlling you and he's putting you under under slavery. That's what the Torah says. And whatever the Torah says on the literal level happened. Which means if the Torah says that we were in Egypt, we were in Egypt. And if it says that there was a king named Paro, there was a king named Pero. But the Torah is so unique and profound that whatever happened in the physical realm also happened in the spiritual realm. which means within the spiritual realm there's a place called mit a place where you are a slave you are a slave to the king called paro and he makes you a slave the says that par was this tall one this tall this little mini the old generation knows what I'm talking about the young ones thinks it's an app okay was a mini me he was a big sorcerer Everything that he did was sorcery. Everybody was afraid of him, of course, cuz he made believe whatever he wants. If he would want to do to show you something, he would do magic. Everything in Mit was magic. That's why when Mosha Rabenu came to Mit, they were all laughing at him. You coming to to Egypt with with magic till they figured out that the a level of magic that Moshe was able to do way way way above them. Mosher Raenu didn't do magic. Rather, Mosher Rabenu was able to change the godly revelation that penetrated into the world like I told you before which Mosher Rabenu didn't do it. He just knew how to activate it with holy names of Hashem. Mosher Rabenu would look at Aron was the translator. Mosher Rabenu would say a few holy names and whatever was supposed to happen and that's what happened. They thought it's magic. Mosher Rabenu knew how to change the godly revelation of the light coming down to this world. Whether it's with disappearing things, changing the structure of nature. Now, let's go back to our life. You are all stuck in your mit. We born in mitime. That's called exile. Galut. The second that you go out of your mother's womb, a doctor touches you. The doctor has what's called tumat on his hand. We all are with this level of impurity that the doctor touches the baby. The baby now has too much met impurity of death. Now we all are affected by that. So you are born into mitime or as Morpheus tells Neo, you are born into the matrix. So you are born into your mit with your bad habits, with your bad thoughts. You think it's a lot from the environment. You are born with that. And if you're taking it from the environment, that's where Hashem put you. So you're taking it from the environment. But you were born into mit. And your job in this world is to go out of your mit out of your state of limitation. And that's called freedom. It's called gula redemption. When the real big redemption is going to come, we're all going to be woken up from this dream that we're in. Total different type of world. When you understand this concept that you are in mit did you have to understand that you are a slave and the Torah says that used to work the slaves is materialism. I means the the actual material that they used to have to produce. They had to produce the cement. But is referring to materialism, the slavery materialism sounds familiar, right? I need the iPhone 17, iPhone 18, the new BMW that comes out, Chanel, Coco Poco, all these. It's all It's all nonsense. That's par. The slavery comes to materialism. I know very little people that are not a slave to materialism that they use the materialism. They grow from the materialism. They know how to transform the materialism, but they are not slaves to the materialism. Doesn't mean you can't be rich or have money. There's nothing wrong with that. But what are you doing with the materialism? Are you refining it or are you a slave to it? Two huge differences. The next thing that the slaves were the next one was leanima is a brick. I'll get to that in a second. And the last was abodakasha. Abadakasha is hard labor. So you all work hard for everything that you need in this life. You work hard in your job. You work hard on your relationships. Nothing comes easy. You work very hard on your spiritual growth. You work extremely hard on taking care of your chores. So you are constantly a slave to hard work. If you release yourself from that, then the work is not hard. It's done. And in many cases, not by you. And the third one which was the second according to the order in the Torah is the brick is theim. What's the brick? This this little thing is a brick. That's the size of a brick. This little device the phone I'm talking about. So you are a slave to materialism to abodakasha and to a brick. And I know it sounds to you like a joke or something irrelevant. You are a slave to the brick and you don't even know how much you are a slave to the brick. And if you want to test it, then give me your phone for one week. I'm here for a few days. Give me the phone. I'll meet you on Thursday. Come to the class on Thursday. I'll give it back to you. 30 years ago, we didn't have smartphones and the world worked. The world turned around exactly how it did how it does now. So, give me your phone for three days. Let's see how you're functioning. And if you cannot function, then you are a slave to this brick. And by the reality is that you are. I'm not mocking you. I'm not making fun. You are a slave to it. And it took me many years to understand why the greatest scholars of our generation were very against the smartphones. I thought they were against the smartphones because of the pure promiscuity and the lack of what you can find on the phones. took me many time many years to realize that the great sages of our time, the scholars and the rabbis, it's because you become such a slave to it. Not the tum that you see, which is you don't even know how much it's affecting you. The movies, the sounds, the music, the everything, you don't even know how much you're being poisoned by this phone. If you are smart, you put the phone down. So practically saying you are all in mit and your job is to go out of mit but there's a king that bothers you all day long his name is par and par the letters of paro is reverse the letters it's something that distracts you something is distracting you all day long I call him Oh, because you are a slave and you are constantly are being distracted by all sorts of little situations that trigger your interest that you don't even realize that most of them are irrelevant, waste of time and you are stuck in your own mim because par is disturbing you. The result is that you are extremely not productive and when you are extremely not productive comes the end of the day you are extremely tired. physically because your soul is tired, not because of your body. You can be up for 20 hours. I can tell you you can be up for three days. If your soul is full, your body will continue running. You're tired at the end of the day because your soul is already tired from battling the challenges with zero energy because you're not feeding the soul the right tools to battle its fights. So when you are tired in the end of the day a you're exposed to radiation because you're holding this all day long that's on the physical level but you are tired because you are a slave and everything for you is a job of a slave and this tiredness is not only a physical feeling it's an emotional tired and then you can't handle the headaches that everybody then you can't handle your wife you can't handle your husband you can't handle the kids you can't handle anything and you're stuck in mid time. You're not doing anything. If you want to reverse the situation, then you have to act according to certain rules. And the rules in many cases, you're not really happy with them. So, I, in case you haven't noticed, are I'm going older and my mind I'm still 22, but my body is not 22 anymore. I'm dealing with it. Middle age crisis. Look how much Hawaii hairs I have. I value my time that every second is so precious. So I don't like wasting my time. I don't like my body deteriorating. So I need to take care of it and I need to take care of it the right way. Now, one way of taking care of it is your nutrition. What's healthy is not tasty. I also like to eat chocolates and whatever junk the world can cater, but I don't eat that. Just don't eat that. It's going to slow me down. Make me sicker, less energy. It's common sense. It's just common sense. But why is that so important? because I value my time. I value every action that I need to do. Therefore, I need to be able to constantly upgrade the system to cater what I need to do. So, I will constantly value what's more important. So, if you want your life to be successful and you want to and it's not about I know a lot of people translate success to money. That's not successful. I know people with a lot of money and there's no success there. Successful is how I see it is how many minutes of the day you are happy. And if you're happy all day long, doesn't matter what's your marital situation, what's your financial situation, what's the next disaster that falls on you. If you are truly happy, then you're successful, which means you're doing something right. Something's right there. But you have to be also true to yourself because most people they use this because they think it makes them happy. That's not the true happiness that you see some guy falling off a skateboard or some whatever. I don't know what the junk that the the the social media shows you. And then you know they made an experiment a few years ago. It's called the red button experiment. And they took a rat and they put it in a cage and they put a red button in the middle. And every time that the rat will press the red button, it gave it a dose, a micro dose of whatever drug, I don't remember what it was, some drug. So the rat started understanding that when it presses the red button, it gets some type of a pleasure. So it kept pressing the red button to a point that at some point they put a female rat in the box. The rat didn't go to the female. It just clicking the red button. And then one day they found the rat dead. It d died of starvation because it just wanted to click and get that little instant pleasure. This is your instant pleasure along with many other instant pleasures. And when you cater instant pleasures, you numb everything else. And now the is so strong. That's why we got the phones because we're so close to Mashiach. And the doesn't want you to do your so he caters you with distractions and is a distraction and you're all day long distracted because even when you're working then you get a WhatsApp then you get a Facebook you get an email and then you're trying to do everything at the same time it doesn't work. I get a thousand times more messages than you get a day but I don't answer them when they come in. I have a designated time when messages are being answered. Now, I know for you it's like, "Oh my god, I have to answer instant." No, you don't. Because 30 years ago, nobody answered instantly. 30 years ago, messages came sometimes after two weeks. And life functioned very good. And the older we go, messages 2,000 years ago took three weeks to get. You would send a messenger to send the message, but the message arrived at some point at the right time. It arrived. You really need to check your message every 3 seconds. What are you the assistant of the president and your missiles are flying all day long? Do you understand how the par is you wrapped around it? You don't even notice what a slave you are and then you're not successful, you're not productive, you're not doing anything. You're running around your tail each one in their different way. Which means that you need to have some type of structure. Now, in order for me to fight parole, I need the Torah. You can't do it without the Torah. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I know you wanted a loophole here. Without the Torah, you cannot do anything in this world. Therefore, it applies to any human being. Jew, non-Jew, observant, less observant, secular, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who you are. The Torah is the way to operate. Now, what does the Torah define for you to do? It actually structures your day. when to wake up, when to pray, how everything is with a definition. You just need to follow the rules. And when it's time to pray, then you pray. It's time to work, then you work. It's time to you to be a father, then you are a father. I switch modes sometimes in seconds from this mode to this mode, and everything is instant. And you don't need much time. You just need to be focused on what you need to do. Now when you are focused on what you need to do then 90% of the things that you think that you need to do just happen you are focusing most of the time on things that you don't need to do. Now there is a certain gore a certain factor here that is bothering you. It's par when you understand when you wake up in the morning and you understand that you are in mit and you are a slave then all you do is trying to go out of mit and not be a slave. Nobody wants to be a slave. Since you don't know that you are in then it passes your understanding every morning and you just function on a regular base not knowing that you are a slave and po will manipulate you every second to distract you from your focus. You need to do A. The phone rings. You need to do B. Something else happens. Everything is instant right now. And you get distracted because you're used to that. Everything is instant. You don't know how to shut things down. You know how to not answer your phone for 3 hours. I'm a thousand times more busier than you. I don't walk around with my phones. There's a time for the phone. And I definitely don't allow myself to. I also have Facebook, Instagram. I have all these social media. I don't do that. I have people running that. But I use it. I use I benefit from the physicality, from the materialism. I don't let it control me. I let the materialism cater my needs. Most people make the materialism the fuel of their boring, unproductive day. So first of all you have to wake up in the morning and understand that you are a slave and you need to go out of your mit today not tomorrow it's not a monthly thing it's a daily thing so when I follow what the Torah tells me it gives me the tools to go out of mit have you noticed how many times we commemorate the going out of Egypt in the Torah and in our prayers almost in any prayer that you do we commemorating the going out of their entire Torah is based on going out of the first commandment that we just read in I am God your God who took you out of mit. So obviously you have to understand the significance of mitime and when you don't realize that you lost 99% of the battle. When you realize that you are a slave then you won the battle. And you know why you don't realize that you are a slave? Because when you say moan in the morning first of all half of you don't say that. And the other half that says that say it with no meaning and then the speed of an F-16. Can anybody here stand now and tell me how you say the mud the right way? >> Very few of you. >> 12 seconds. >> It doesn't matter the seconds even. You're right. But that's how you open the D. No, you don't. What m is who knows? The translation of these two words. Say it out loud. >> Oh, there's one guy who say watches my classes. >> Huh? >> Okay. So most people translate mudanese I confess >> I know you translate it as I thank >> but means I admit. When I say I admit that you are the king. You start your day with admitting that you are the king, not paro. Paro is not my king. I don't listen to paro. I'm not a slave. I'm a slave to the master of the universe. When I apply myself to be a slave to paro, then you're a slave to paro. I choose to be a slave to the master of the universe. It's much easier. When I became observant, I was 27, 28, 29. I had to get rid of any bad habit that I had in my life. alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, everything you can imagine. I was addicted to every substance, abused everything that you can imagine. And I understood that I cannot be a slave to the master of the universe if I'm a slave to anything in this world. That's it. It cannot work. I can only be a slave to one entity. And I'm choose to be a slave to God. Not a slave to a cigarette, not to a cup of drink, not to food, not to chocolate, not to sex, not to anything. I'm not a slave to anything in this world because it doesn't benefit me in any way. It's like eating processed food. It fills you up, but it gives you junk. You do whatever you want. You want to put into your system poison, then put in your system poison. If you're not willing to put in your body poison, why are you putting in for your soul poison? So the first thing that you wake up in the morning and that's the basics of everything. And I can sit here now for another two hours. We got to finish very soon. It's how you wake up in the morning, when you wake up in the morning, and how you set your day. First of all, if you want the day to be the most successful, you have to wake up before dawn. You have to wake up before the sun goes out. That's the right the right way. I know you're all laughing, but try it once. And that's really how once everybody used to wake up because there was an internet and electricity and then the sun goes down, everybody goes to sleep and you wake up in the morning at four o'clock in the morning. I know it sounds like ah okay, it all depends, you know, how you want to live your life. It really depends how you want to live your life. If you're not willing to give sacrifices, you're not going to be successful in anything. And I know success is success is not money. Success is how happy you are, how much you were achieved every day, how many lives you changed, how many souls you affected, how many changes in yourself you did, how much you growing. That's success. Not if I have money or not. Money is a tool for me to be successful in what I need to do. So, first thing that I do in the morning is I bow down to the master of the universe and not to anything else. And I don't wake up with the phone because when I wake up in the phone first of all that's my god but you wake up with that now ask yourself you actually woke up let's cut to the chase half of you snooze I don't know who invented that stupid thing of snoozing just wake up and you know what most people do they set three 10:15 10:20 which hour are you planning on waking up decide no I'm doing the 10:20 one in case the 10:15 didn't work. What? Just decide which hour you're waking up and finish with it. I didn't have a snooze button when I was a kid and an annoying alarm clock that went like this. Ding ding ding ding ding. With all jokes aside, I know it might sound to you irrelevant. Don't go to sleep with this device and don't wake up with this device. Start your day with Hashem and finish your day with Hashem. And it doesn't matter how religious you are. I know some of you might look at me like, "No, no, no, no. If you're not willing to give up some things, if you're not willing to give some sacrifices, you'll never reach to where you're supposed to be." Do you want to reach to the age of 80 or 90 or more and look back and say, "I wasted my life. I don't want to get to that point." You don't want to get to that point. I've been in that point. I've been in the point where I looked at the rest of my life and understood that I didn't do nothing. 25 years ago, I stood in a spiritual situation realizing that I wasted 27 years of my life on nothing and going out of this world with nothing. And if you haven't heard my experience, go and listen to it. It's online everywhere. I stood in the place facing the moment understanding what did I do? I wasted my life. And the sad reality is that most of you waste your life. And I'm not here to insult you. I'm here to educate you and hopefully inspire you to change your life. And when you change your life, first of all, you're doing what you supposed to do. And when you're doing what you're supposed to do, don't forget you are creature of the master of the universe. Nobody owns you. You're not American. You're not Jewish. You are the of course you are. Just I'm just trying to emphasize that you're first of all a creature of the master of the universe. How you call yourself is irrelevant and actually childish and stupid because your focus has to be on how am I serving my creator. And if you didn't reach to that level, you have a very long way to go. Very long way to go. And with that, understand that it has nothing to do with your spiritual definition or religious definition. I don't like that. I know people who don't look the the part and they're doing what they're supposed to do and not everybody has a beard and yamaka is, you know, the chief rabbi of the world. So how you conduct your life makes a huge a huge change. So I start my day with God. Now I'm not expecting everybody to spend three hours in the morning with God. But something what you can handle. You can handle 3 hours. Go ahead. That's how it should be done. Mikv and learning and reading all that not starting at the end and after that learning more and after that going to eat and washing your hands and saying you mean you you need a certain order. If you're looking at the order what the Torah tells you, it tells you when to sit, when to stand, when to pray, when to eat, when to work. You need do you need more than that? You have to understand that every moment in your life you have an opportunity to do something. Two days ago I gave a class in Denver about free will. If you didn't see it, go and watch it. It's very very powerful because the concept of free will is basically boiled down to you have an opportunity to do good or bad. You choose. So every second of the day you have an opportunity to do something positive or not. When your mind is focused that that's your existence, life changes completely because you're not serving different entities of whatever it is. There's no par in your life. There's only one king and you are bowed down to that king. And when you bow down to the king that gives you all the energy and efforts that you need, everything works out how it's supposed to work out. Now, it doesn't mean that tomorrow, you know, you're 10 years younger, you're a millionaire, and that that's our perception. That's our perception how it should be. No, no. How it should be is that my day has to be evolving around the creator. And it doesn't mean that you have to be now I don't know like the next Babasali. It means that your mind needs to be wrapped around the king. Now when your mind is wrapped around that king can disturb you and suddenly you actually productive. Now to practically give you some practical tools. Abin Ahmed says that the human mind cannot focus on two things at one time. So don't try to focus on seven things, seven things at the same time. You can only focus on one thing at the same time. And that's what I do. That's how I do. I I run my day. My day has breaks. Every 25 minutes of the day, there's a five minute break. And every hour of the day, there's changing of the guards.
