Special Series - The Memory Chamber | Rabbi Yechiel Spero

[Music] there is an amazing story that I'd like to share with you it's a story that I heard recently and a story that has remarkable and very powerful ramifications there was a doctor who lived many years ago in Pittsburgh his name was Dr canel and Dr canel was once in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and he was privy to an operation that took place there there was a woman who came in and she needed an operation because nebuch she had a tumor on her brain but it was in a very very delicate spot and in order for them to perform the surgery they had to have her awake at the time what they were going to do was they were going to touch different parts of her brain and they were going to see is it a dead cell or is it aive cell and they'd be able to tell from her reaction we could only begin to imagine how delicate of a surgery it was and what she did was she was up and they would start to touch different parts of the brain the dead cells were removed and one by one they were able to remove much of the tumor and then they came to one part of her brain and she squealed she shrieked and they thought maybe they touched the nerve nerve maybe they touched some part of her brain that had caused such a reaction and they asked her what is that and she told them I just saw a vivid image of my aunt who was playing with me when I was a little child and they said wow that's amazing she says you don't understand I was 2 years old when my aunt died I have no memory of her whatsoever I mean I recognize her from pictures but I saw her playing with me and the doctor told her that in every brain there is a memory chamber and when we see something anything from the moment we are born till the moment we die that gets locked away some point and some part of your brain and it's possible it will be buried forever especially the memories that we have from when we're so young but if you trigger that memory then it can be as Vivid as if it just happened that moment in front of your eyes what a powerful story can you imagine it could be that when we were younger we saw something something that we're really embarrassed about something we're ashamed of and we've grown so much it's possible that that is locked away we hope forever but when we see something something that is inappropriate shom it can trigger something that we saw decades earlier and bring it back to life as if we're looking at it that moment and that is why we must know that when we're sh and when we guard our eyes we are protecting and guarding from long long memories that we hope stay buried forever the V said something that is truly remarkable you know the G didn't live in an era of Technology the G lived 250 years ago the G said Evan schma that when a person dies his eyes are kilu the video recorders that will play back his entire life from the moment he was born till the moment he died our eyes are a video machine and everything we look at is recorded when we look at something that is inappropriate it's recorded it will be played back to us after 120 years but if we look at Tyra and kadus Anda and tahim and we look at people in a beautiful light then that's what will be played for us when we stand before the what do we want the movie of our life to look like that's the question we know the answer rise above be great and your movie will be the most beautiful movie in the world [Music]
