The Power of the Soul - Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser

[Music] all right um so let's get started uh just just a second about myself just because I I see that there's a lot of people of the uh Persian persuasion and uh I know those who have heard me speak before know about my upbringing but uh I met my best friend uh 11 years old and we stayed together from 11 till um till uh all the way through University at Santa Barbara um we stayed roommates all those years years so I basically grew up in a Persian household and uh and this was old schools they were like the first Persians you know this is like like 40 years ago you know where where they still used to like bargain in 7-Eleven and you know and at the gas station and like he used to look over staring look at us in the back seat about the gas station attendant and say very stubborn man but I like him yeah and uh anyway we we really had a great time growing up there and they they were kind of shorter than me U sorry they're shorter than me now but my best friend went through puberty when he was seven and and by the time he was 10 he had a full beard so he used to buy his beer when we were like 12 which was quite amazing and because they were so old school there were no rules so he got a car when he was 13 which was amazing because we were driving I me we got caught like we got caught like North of San Louis abiso him and I just what's that to school oh you went to school there yeah so you notice this Persian dude and the scrawny little white guy flying by yeah so anyway we had a really great time growing up together it was awesome and in the end I I finally went through pubert at like I don't know 25 or something and and I shot up in height cuz I was like half their size and so when I go to their family events the father elbows the wife and the ribs and says we grew him so all that tading and everything they they take they take full responsibility for my height has nothing to do with jeans this is Farm Fed so anyway that's enough about my background um so tonight we're talking about uh the soul uh the soul is an eternal thing the soul is uh I mean some of you are probably even wondering I imagine some of you wonder whether you even have a soul um which is as you'll hear me speak you'll start realizing what a ridiculous thought that would even be to wonder if you have a soul because it's the you that's wondering whether you have a soul that is the soul that is your soul you see you think you're listening to me with your ears right now no you're not your ears are just little membranes they are little mini drums very very tight tanic membranes that are receiving now frequencies it's just receiving math that math shooting up the nerves into the cerebral cortex cerebral cortex has billions of neurons in there which are doing the actual math they're and they're coming out with an output of my math in real time of English but they're still not you because you're not a neuron imagine I borrowed one of your neurons let's see who's a good neuron to Barrow I like this guy over there in the big chair what's your name sir that's an interesting name so imagine I take no comments neuron yeah and no comments so I put no comments neuron don't worry you have billions of them I'm only taking one and I put no Commons neuron on an overhead projector multiplying it by 10,000 times so we can see the thing yeah do you think now you're going to get a big blown up picture of no comment just going hey guys it's me no comment you know and you know you're not going to get that neurons just look like these kind like it's like a because all neurons do is either fire or don't fire this is when you have enough things firing not firing it creates kind of a digital code which is allow which can compute information but it's not you you're not a neuron it's impossible that you could Poss that you could be a neuron you have neurons but you are not a neuron so they've done a lot of brain signs and they've scanned the brain they know where taste is sight is hearing is you know touch they also know where emotions are fear love you know desire all these different things have all been mapped but the one thing they cannot find and there will never find because it's not there is you I can't find you your actual point of reference is unfindable because it does not exist in the physical world doesn't show up in an MRI and it nevertheless every one of you right now is listening with it now this particular soul of is very very large very very large it uh it's uh you know a lot of us make the mistake because I think we've heard too much rock and roll you know where people are like with all of my heart and all of my soul I love you baby you know and so we think one heart one Soul it's not like that it's not like you have a body and a soul you have a body but of your soul as we learned in the cabala there are five aspects to your soul and there five totally separate levels and the highest level of your soul is called the yaka the yaka part of your soul is completely connected to All Souls All Souls and of you guys ever been to Colorado seen the Aspen forests over there yeah raise your hand you ever seen that Colorado it's beautiful white bark trees you can see a whole Forest on the side of a mountain of Aspens well guess what it's one organism Aspens have one root it's an amazing thing whole Forest tall Aspens shooting up to the sky are all made from one root and that is an example of our soul on the highest level is called the you hear the word in there because it's one it's indistinguishable from the person sitting next to you and it's with you right now and it's massive because it's the soul of the world it's the soul of creation it's called the and it's with you right now and that's the Cent and the pleasure you get from giving to somebody because when you give to somebody you give them your time you give them your ear you give them your your feelings you give them your love you give them your money yeah you give them your food whenever you give you get an amazing feeling and some guy hit me at the door just now and I was like they're announcing me then I realized there are a lot of announcements they're not announcing me so I was like come back over here I gave him a buck which was stuck to another buck so he got two bucks that PL pleasure we get is the is the receiving the pleasure of giving then you have a second level Soul which is also massive and that's called the haa and the haa has to do with your your charge like what you're what you were charged to do in this planet it's your greater contribution it's your higher self your higher self y has no in distin distinct distinct personality the haa on the other hand had has a purpose to be here in fact it's even said that when you pass away and you go upstairs that the questions are being asked by your K it's actually your K is saying where were you on the night of July 29th you know and and you're like I don't remember and they're like let us just review that real you know and you're like uhoh yeah so that's your saying like what's up yeah it's like it's you know what it's like it's like when you're watching TV it's like split screen okay you got one screen of what you could have done in that circumstance you have other screen of what you did and our job in life is to match as much as we can we want our screens to match we want it to to match the screen of what we do with what we could do in any given situation okay and thank God we have the Torah to help us guide help guide us in that kind of thing so for example we learn if your study Tor you'll learn for example the the bones of Joseph were brought out of Egypt remember Joseph was The Prince of Egypt so they have to bring Joseph to Israel with them and Moses went and brought he himself went and got Joseph's body and brought it out of Egypt brought it across the desert yet the Torah says who buried him who brought him out sorry we know who buried him Moses didn't go in the land the children of Israel buried him but the Torah says that the children of Israel brought him out of the land of egy that's not accurate Moses did but what is it saying whoever finishes the job gets credit for the whole job and our tment says that when you go to a restaurant people always thank the waiter because they finished the job when in fact they didn't they didn't do that much when it comes to the food itself the food itself happened in a kitchen with chefs but they get the thanks and therefore we can learn from that that when you're doing someone a favor even someone hitchhiking or you're giving a ride to somebody and it's going to be a little out of your way and you're thinking I'll just drop them off here and let him catch a bus the rest of the way or I'll just drop them off here and let him walk that you'll realize you're in a split screen situation where you could take them all the way and it's really nice to have a Torah to teach us these little lessons to make sure that our screens match Torah is the key to making sure your screens match now that's the the next level soul is one we're a little more in touch with is called the Nish and the Nish is the side of you that wants to connect to God it's the god connection thing so the high is more your special purpose and the this Nish is your is your desire to connect with the Creator so the Nish it just wants Hashem the Nish is feminine in fact the word Nish is in the feminine so even us men we actually have a feminine soul that we want to connect with God we want to be totally connected which is a receiving mode because I me what can you give God which means we're receiving and that's why it's the feminine okay the feminine is the receiving I don't have to go into great graphic detail here on how the feminine is the receiver but the but we all even us Jewish men have to discover our feminine side and that's when you're in touch with your Nish is getting into that feminine side now again you got to be careful because if you want a marriage you want your marriage to last so you got to also be a man so don't get carried away with the woman's stuff because your wife by the time she's 38 won't be able to respect you and she's going to trade you in okay so yeah got to make you're still a man but a Jewish man has developed his feminine side to be able to receive that's why shab is a little harder for men than women because shab is the seventh day represents the feminine okay and you get to the seventh day where we just stop asserting ourselves all together we take our our MS our hands out of creation and we just let it be for 24 hours and that's a very feminine thing we let God really be the the asserter because six days a week God says go ahead do your thing go assert yourself go manipulate matter all you want seventh day give it up and it's hard for men to get their hands off their crack berries you know they want to Mark every lamp post and every bus bench and they they want their name all over this place yeah but shabas comes and it's a reminder that no one's going to remember us anyway 150 years ago sorry 150 years from now nobody's going to remember us and the and that uh that ultimately God is the one who gave you the ability to make a living those six days and also you're not even doing anything God's doing it all anyway and just when shabas comes God says let's stop pretending and be real with the fact that I'm doing all this so listen up the Nish is your desire to be one with God okay the ru that's the fourth level of Soul the ruak is the part of your soul that is from the word ruak means spirit it's your your spirit like I have a lot of Ru yeah I feel so bad for my cameraman because just I'm just going and going and going and going and he's like when do we rest yeah when do we rest and the answer is in the grave we ain't resting yeah that's the ru so I got a lot of Ru yeah thank God I got a lot of Tor because I'd be in a lot of trouble if I didn't have the Torah governing all my Ru yeah got a lot of Ru and uh so that's the ru and then there's the U the last is called the nees and the nees of the five levels of your soul is um it's also got many levels it's pretty spiritual but the bottom bottom bottom bottom of the of the neish it has a thin little membrane which touches into your cerebral cortex and gives you a sense that you are you so the you that is you that's listening to me right now is the thinnest membrane of the neish now for us to think that our soul has a onetoone relationship to our body you start to realize that is that is very far far from what's real what's real is your soul is massive and giant and beyond all possible space and time and it's just the thinnest membrane of the soul is what's touching into your body why am I telling all this I'm telling all this so that you honor it we're so busy honoring our body we got our gyms we got our Sports got we got our cars I got to spend today in a Tesla whole day in a Tesla not bad yeah we we honor our our bodies like crazy yeah especially here Southern California it's all about like you know taking care of the body you got to look good you know there's billions of dollars of Industry on our bodies but meanwhile what is our body compared to our soul it's nothing it's a it's the wrapper of a piece of candy compared to the soul which is just it's massive thing and the more you get that and the more you honor your soul it's what I call Soul self-esteem the more you have soul self-esteem that your self-esteem has to do with how giant you are and by the way you'll notice that people who have who recognize how awesome their souls are they're very hard to govern government's hate people like that it's very hard to govern them because they're not interested in that they don't want to be controlled because they've got this like wild animal soul and it's gigantic and huge but how do you govern giant people you can only govern small people this all happened in the 60s you know the 1960s in America all these people were they were taking these sham shamanic shamanic substances it's like this stuff wasn't supposed to be hanging around you know this is the stuff you get in like the Amazon or something you get in African jungles and stuff like that yeah maybe some Native Americans with some Cactus or something all of a sudden you get like kids driving around in Cadillacs you know taking this stuff and the main thing they get right after they would take this stuff is how giant they are and only now is like finally like people were like starting to say like even government in California Colorado Washington are finally saying like like I guess it's a little Beyond human rights to tell people what they can smoke you know who are we to tell people what they can smoke who are we to tell people what they can put in their bodies and so in those days when they saw that all the 18y olds and all of you know New York and la and all the big cities were suddenly these gigantic people they had to make it illegal because you can't govern giant people and the next time you see news in Israel uh clashes between the government and the ultra Orthodox with the black attitude and you'll say to yourself sometimes you'll say to yourself like why can't they just like get along like we got enough enemies they got to fight too you'll remember what I just shared is that you can't govern giant people and we represent the giant people because we know the cabala and we know all about the soul and the Soul's giant you can't govern such people unless of course the laws are the laws of what the Torah Torah but if you go to Israeli you know High courts you open up the books it's British law can't govern Jews with British law you'll notice by the way amazing thing is that they made it illegal in America those kinds of substances and what did they do okay we'll do something mels uh what should we do with our time uh okay they didn't have pay us to twirl but they were like they were like I know let's make personal computers and then they're like how's a bunch of hippies going to make personal computers watch and see you'll be Microsoft you'll be apple you'll be the IBM and and they made person computer the government's like okay good they found something to do that'll keep them busy little did they know those computers would get smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller until one individual can just detonate the world and you can take down Egypt you can take down alerian Siri not available and you can take down notice my series a [Music] man and my iPhone has a white button what so anyway they're just making personal computers but somehow those personal computers give great power to the individual and the government says what are we going to do now how you going to control a bunch of people with these gigantically powerful devices where even a nerd can make a difference and so the answer is they would get in they would crack the codes and they' crack the codes and then there was a freedom fighter by the name of Snowden who comes along to get the power back in the hands of the people to expose the government in its race for stopping the incredible prowess of individual the power of the soul and one's dreams and Visions but we're not going down we're not going down and the Jewish people for 2,000 sorry 3,326 years as of Shu have been teaching the world of how awesomely great we are and hashem's basically doing a Messianic technological age for us it's a Messianic technological age not only in the medium that Messiah will be able to broadcast but the mentality of power and greatness in every human being and their ability to make a difference the soul lasts forever it you cannot kill a soul how many Jews died in the Holocaust six million how many Souls died in the Holocaust zero you can't kill a soul and where would you put a knife Souls don't die you can't feed a soul except what you're doing tonight is you're feeding your soul but and think of the craziness when we say I'm hungry think about when you say oh I'm so hungry yeah what are you have an identity crisis you think your body's you your body's hungry you're not hungry I know a cabalist in Israel when he eats he makes and he eats the bread he's like ex you see he's chewing funny because he feels so weird that he has to do this but he'll die if he doesn't so he got to chew it he's just like he's like forcing it down because he's he knows he's a soul he just can't figure out why his body's got to actually chew this bread he eventually got weak he went to the doctor they said you're going to die man you got to eat he says just tell me what you ate he says I ate two slices of white bread he says white bread you're gonna die on that why white bread he says if you look on the lab you'll see it's got ingredients lots and lots and lots of ingredients they're from all over the world he says when I eat that bread I'm raising up the every country the re's like you got to switch the whole wheat man so the doctor actually convinced them to have a a white bread sandwich and he puts a slice of white bread between two whole wheat and he says it actually worked he said he actually has a lot more energy now Soul lasts forever doesn't die can't feed it next time you say you're tired what are you crazy your Soul's more busy when you're sleep than when you're awake your Soul's all over the place when you're asleep each level of your soul your your sorry youra goes up to something called admon your your neish sorry going out of order your there I go again your goes up to something called ADM when you go to sleep your goes up to a realm that's called that cus your Nisha goes up to a realm that's called Berea your Ru goes up to a place called Y and your neish meaning that neish that touches into your Consciousness goes up to a the upper levels of AA the fifth world AIA what's that we're not going to discuss that right now but let's just say your your Soul's very busy when you're asleep okay and it's like freaking out on all kinds of stuff soul never sleeps doesn't eat unless you're studying Torah and and it certainly can't die and what it does is it comes around in bodies it's been around many times every one of your souls has had many bodies arabist teach us that since the destruction of the temple there have been no new Souls we're all being recycled into this world that's why the word for reincarnation is Gul which is the same word as galal as a wheel which as a surfer is the same word for G which is wave and I bet most people didn't realize that waves don't actually carry water did you know that waves carry no water if you pour red dye out into 20 foot waves but in the deep ocean before they break if it breaks it'll carry it but if it's just this 20 foot wall of water rolling the dye will stay in its place no water goes with waves waves are amazing and only of course our our our Torah could call a wave a gal something physicists only found out later that the water doesn't move and of course the Torah oh Torah knows it's a gal it's recirculating just like a wheel circulates a galal and a gilou a reincarnation each time you come around each time your soul goes back into a body it only comes back when when your body is going to be alive with other people that you've been traveling with we travel in groups so you travel through with similar people could be right now your father was your sibling in a different life could be your mother was your was your daughter in a different life but you're always cruising through together and if it's not perfect if it's not the exact same people it's not your group of people to travel with so then you'll just wait and you can wait hundreds of years the soul when it goes when you die so we bury the body Soul goes to the soul World which we've described a bit with sleep goes to the soul world and in the soul World it will wait until the perfect setup which could even come down to Sibling order that you got to be the right sibling order and what happens is God comes to your soul and says It's amazing timing it got to get back down there and the Soul says what no way you know like try to convince a moth that shouldn't be hanging around that light bulb yeah it's a similar thing when your soul is in the soul world yeah you're just like you know with Hashem you're just your soul is with Hashem without the wiggling pays and stuff but yeah that's the way you are and then all of a sudden you get an interruption you know it's like the the I don't know the ball game score scorm you're like what and God's like oh by the way uh got the perfect family structure right now this is like this is exactly what you need and you're like leave me alone you know told God to leave you alone and and God of course just kind of does one of these kind of things kind of a you know and you're just like woo you know like oh man and then of course you're a little baby going okay maybe not immediately good timing so it's not immediate the soul actually I don't know if you know the soul enters the fetus at 40 days 40 days yeah so you're you're not really allowed to pray for the nature of this the uh pre the if you're pregnant you're not really supposed to pray after 40 days for the nature of the child the gender is already set the uh because you're not allowed to do a prayer in vain I mean if you see a fire truck heading up your street and you're like not my house you're not supposed to say that because somehow it's on fire if it's yours God forbid it should be yours but if whoever it is it is okay and you're not supposed to have prayers of so after 40 days you don't say certain kinds of prayers about the nature of the child including gender by the way we've known this for so long and I imagine with a group of Persians there's a doctors in the house but uh the but it's been corroborated by science that until the 40th Day gender is not knowable and we've always known I knew this way before our very first pregnancy my wife said I don't know if you want a boy or a girl and I'm like a boy and she she by the way nothing against girls I have five girls and three boys you see I like girls yeah so there I have nothing against girls it's just that I wanted so badly to do aidon haben the Redemption of the first born I wanted that Mitzvah so uh of course I had a girl yeah which was great it's amazing though how the spartic communities are so into boys it's ridiculous we lived on Widow Widow row it was all uh like spartic widows like Kurdistan and Iraq and Iran and all these Widow row they're all I don't know what happened there husbands and so I'd walk by every day with my wife who my wife used would carry like gigantic like by the fifth month she'd already be like like you know like that you know at least till she got into pregnancy yoga and then that was all over yeah then she then she was just like like that you and anyway every time we walk by these ladies they would say yeah which is uh it's the the uh most important thing it should be a male male Ben zahar and my wife and I look at each other we're like these like PC you know race secular ashkenazic people were like what is with these ladies and and it's like it's the the most important thing is it's a son so anyway she has the baby I come back from the hospital and they all know I'm at the hospital with my wife so they're all just like and I and they're like what was it and I said it was a girl and and they were [Music] like P benah next time a male son a male son what is wrong with these people anyway I'll tell you the truth the best thing you could possibly have as a girlfriend first how do I know that's what happened to us and no I'm serious I I'll tell you from experience guys are crazy and girls are are cool and so so what happens is if you have a girl first she sets the tone for all the other children if you have a guy first it's like Hell's Bells yeah you don't know what you're going to get all your kids have like a knucklehead for an influence but when you have but when you have a girl first so the girls are very much into the mommy and like the mommy already set the tone and now she's kind of caring the tone on and and everyone's chill yeah and that's why it says it says we have a saying in our rabbis say if you have a daughter first it's a Sim it's a good sign laim for the children to come yeah so and we really saw that happen happen in our lives our family I'm going to switch gears a little bit and uh oh no first I was going to tell you a story amazing story about reincarnation there was once a great Rabbi who was a young Rabbi and he was aiic rebi and three of his students were once walking down the street and they see these other and they made fun of their they made they made fun of their rebi of their teacher and says your Rabbi is three generations to late too late yeah that's that's a compliment right three generation too late that's compliment yeah that's what they said your rabbis is three generations too late and what happened was they went to tell the rebi that they said that about him and he said let me tell you a story there was a great great Holy Soul in the world of Souls and God said to that Soul now you should know sadim like the right rightous people the holy people of the generation they're not here for themselves they're here for the generation the holy people of a generation don't come down here for their own rectification like you and I might they come down to this world to help the generation so God said to this sa you got to go down and help the generation and the sadik said I'm not going just like we wouldn't go I'm not going but this sadik had more influence than you and I did so that sadik said I'm not going and God says you got to go and S said I'm not going he says the generation needs you you got to go and the Soul says I'm not going and in the end you know what God did God did the same thing and kicked him but he couldn't go all the way down because he had the influence of a sadic so God couldn't get him down to our world he got flipped into a parallel world did you guys know there's parallel worlds all around us everything happening in this room in its exact Perfect Image is actually happening on a parallel level above us which is happening above us and above us and above us parallel Realms above us and all those worlds I mentioned before adamus yeah B Berea yir and AIA are all happening here it's just that the higher up you go the more it breaks up until it all becomes one and this is actually how for those who are into physics this is how light becomes matter so there's parallel Realms right above ours now there could be people in this room right now who are stuck in that realm it's called the cfaa you guys ever heard that term it's called the cfaa try that word cfaa CF the cafa it ain't pretty in the cafa why because you're surrounded with people you're always in this world but no one can see you and there's lots of people in the caill and that's actually suicidals go to the cfaa so they stay here because the one thing you're not allowed to choose in this world is how long you stay you can choose all you want throughout your life you can make the worst choices you make the best choices it's your choice one thing you're not allowed to choose when you leave the punishment for leaving early is the cafa and so what happens is you're recreated here forever there's no way out well there's a couple ways out but there there's the one way out is to uh to um um what's called possession to possess another Soul so so if you can find another person someone in the CAA can actually get out on the can kind of piggyback onto another Soul it's not pretty it's not a nice thing and that's why you'll notice that in Judaism if someone ever goes unconscious in an emergency situation we never leave the person alone because you can't have a possession if there's a showare if there's a person in there with the body also dead people if someone passes away we until the burial we always make sure there's another person in there the reason why do you guys know that you know why the reason why we never leave a body alone and God forbid you guys are ever in a situation where someone pass away if no one else willing people will do it but you make sure you're there I've had to guard many bodies middle of the night I get like the 2 to four in the morning shift so I'm just in there next to his body you know just going come on it ain't so bad you know reading you know a book of Torah or something while I'm waiting till the next person take their shift but it's all to make sure that someone in the caaa doesn't piggy back onto the their soul now you might say it's a kind thing to do like let the poor guy out of the copaa it it's a whole crazy mixup to have another Soul jump into yours yeah not a good thing so anyone who's unconscious or anyone who's who's dead yeah you you never leave that person alone you have a question is it okay yeah is the is the piggy vacum the same thing as Deb that's the word debuk yeah has to be with the body um do they have to be awake praying or can they be sleeping is it just somebody oh can they be sleeping um I'm going to guess you could be sleeping because sleeping they can't get into I'm guessing that I know someone asleep is unconscious but they cannot have a possession you can't become possessed when you're asleep so I'd imagine that you can guard someone while sleeping I don't know Sam do you know if uh you don't know okay back to our business so what happened God put this guy into the cfaa and he was shooting around the world this sadic was stuck in the cfaa for three generations three generations three generations he was flying around the world and then all of a sudden he was flying over the wheat fields of the Ukraine and he saw this this European peasant with a pickaxe and the burning heat of the summer hitting the Earth with it breaking up the soil and he's just kind of hovering above him watching this guy breaking his back down there and he says and all of a sudden now no one ever relates to him for three generations no one looked at him and all of a sudden the guy with a pickaxe goes like you know he bangs the ground and then he looks up and he looks at him he says we're breaking our backs down here where you're flying around up there and that's one of the other ways out of the cfaa is that there's certain sadik him in this world who can see the souls in the cfaa and they can freak him out and it goes all of a sudden the soul there would go like will go like and then shoot out of the cavaa now they can either shoot up to the soul world or they can shoot down into a fetus and this particular sadic was shot into a fetus and was born into a family in Europe and was raised and on his he was a little short kid like I was and on his bar mitzvah day it was during his bar mitzvah speech where they put him up on a chair he stood on a chair for his bar mitz a speech and he's standing up on this chair and giving a speech when all of a sudden in from the door walks in the Russian peasant and the boy's eyes flipped back in his head and he fell backwards and landed like flat out on his head on the ground and went went UNC conscious the Russian peasant The Peasant who was with a pickaxe walked in the door on the Davis bar midst in the middle of his speech and he fell off a chair so the they they all came to like revive him and when he opened his eyes they revived him he opened up he saw him again he passed out again and it turns out a couple years later that Russian peasant who no one even knew was Jewish revealed himself as the balov yeah that was the balov yeah and he had been I don't know if you know the B was totally Incognito for the first half of his his life so anyway the this is the soul we don't have to discuss cfaa so much but the soul comes around the bodies yeah our jobs to honor it okay let's speak practical you want to honor your soul you want to recognize your body yeah okay you got to use deodor and take a shower you know like like you know okay go to the massage place once in a while but uh but don't go crazy with the body don't go crazy with don't be a victim don't be a victim we're Jews okay we're giant okay we're not victims we're not victims of marketing we're not victims of style or fashion we have to look respectful we have to look dignified we have to be clean and kempt and be a a k Hashem people should see you and say wow that's an amazing person so we can't be what in Yiddish you'd call schlump we can't be SCH lumpers so don't be schlumpy but don't be a victim because we're Giant and you be Giant and recognize how great your soul is compared to the body and realize that you want to honor this soul that has come down to this world our next discussion is the discussion of as you look at the it's reincarnation and Karma now karma is not a very Jewish word that's more of an Eastern word in Hebrew it's more of the term of uh mided maida uh which doesn't really name it so well but the idea is like this that you yourself have a certain energy pattern that you put out you know who made this the most famous was the book The Secret yeah that's what this is all about is that the energy you're putting out you're like like radiating out into the world is really what you get in life like everything you're getting in life is all because of what you're putting out there so if you're putting out positive vibes you're going to have positive stuff happen if you're putting out uh a a kind of an energy of abundance so you're going to see amazing deals financially things are just going to go really well for you if you're putting out a a if you're putting radiating into this world health so health is just healthy people are going to come into your life just uh you know the exact sport you should be doing is going to come you know you're going to get the perfect deal at a gym or something whatever you're putting out there is what you get okay you're putting out nice stuff you're going to get nice if you're putting out stinky stuff your stink bug you're get stinky stuff at had a student at ashaura uh student aor he used to come in every weekend from the from know shabas and the weekend every weekend he would come in either with a black guy broken nose he came in with a stab wound at one point and every single Sunday because we don't have Sunday in his we are all Friday and Saturday not Saturday and Sunday he would come in to Yeshiva on Sunday and he'd be broken up again and I would and he would I would say to him what happened this time he said oh this guy jumped on my back back and stabbed me in the arm and you know I'm like where and he's like uh Ben UDA Street like what I walk in down that street for 20 years nothing happened to me and anyway next week again next week again next week again I finally sat him down and said brother you're a stink bug yeah you're putting out some kind of smell that's making other people want to jump yeah they want to jump you yeah and and he's like no no it's not my fault anyway I finally convinced him that he's a stink bug and and I said let's clean up your energy and see if you keep getting jumped and so we did we worked worked and worked and got him cleaned up and it was a lot of work and in the end he stopped getting jumped he hasn't been jumped since yeah this is like I mean now he's a husband of with a business and beautiful family in toron Toronto but he's uh he ended with all that why am I bringing up reincarnation and Karma what's the connection and the answer is the stuff we go through all of us and I bless all of us to be protected to not have to go through a bunch of stuff amen and we're all so scared to go through stuff because we don't want to go through heavy stuff we want to just like somehow glide through this whole kind of Reincarnation of ours without any serious suffering no one wants to suffer so how is it that we can get rid of suffering so there are two causes for suffering cause number one is the karmic stuff is the meaning if I'm being a stink bug so I'm going to deal with all kinds of stuff you uh let's I'll try to come up with nice examples um for example men who don't treat women well yeah are putting a a certain stink in the world and the chances of them getting like return negativity toward them is going to be very high and they may wind up alone yeah they might they might wind up alone um another example maybe a little too extreme but uh but uh treating people like objects but then expecting expecting people not to treat you that way okay I think every man in this room knows that that they would never want their daughter to be doing certain things and and but so to create the karmic influence you have to treat women now the way you want your daughter to be treated because it's hypocritical to expect your daughter to have certain treatment when you yourself aren't treating people that way so do you get what I'm saying by these examples yeah yeah so none of us want to suffer none of us want to deal with like the heavy stuff that we hear you know people can go through and one of the best ways to do that is to become someone who creates amazingly positive energy you must be the center of awesome positive energy positive energy loving energy connective energy generous energy people who who live with a scarcity in their minds and hearts they're often more selfish and they actually deal with scarcity throughout their lives how many of us know rich people who feel poor all the time and they're afraid to even spend a little money on themselves okay whatever they have to spend on their spouse or on their kids they'll do but they but they they always feel poor and they live in the scarcity because that's their energy it's a stink bug energy of scarcity so we have to live in abundance love connection spiritual whatever you really want you got to live it now and you got to clean up your you got to clean up your uh environment okay meaning the environment you put out you got to make sure that's clean and if your environment's clean karmically you'll experience a clean world coming back the world feeds back that's back to the secret idea the world will feed back to you whatever energy you put out there so you want to make sure you have real clean energy you're burning clean fuel clean energy clear clear okay so let's say yeah clear is the right word let's say you've cleared yeah and you're just putting out the best energy does that mean you're not going to suffer so there's another source of suffering what's that other source the other source is reincarnation you see every person has Cosmic debt that follows them into each life there's stuff that you got to deal with no matter what you're not going to be able to get out of it just because you're so loving and full of abundance and spirituality as we all have known people with very clean energy have suffered and gone through a lot I myself I've worked very hard on cleaning up my energy okay I was a total West LA kid I grew up in Brentwood yeah had all kinds of crazy energy you know I used to you know you know I'd be like whatever I was just a West LA snobby kid you know make fun of kids from the valley and and you know and like all that stuff you know you know that scene I don't know but that's the way I was and I had to clean up that energy I was judgmental of some of my brothers yeah my own siblings I'd be judgmental of them yeah I was like this laid-back Surfer type but I had this like muscle car Guido brother yeah and and I was really into sports I had another brother who wasn't into sports I was I was I was a stink bug so it took me years I worked through it but I finally cleared up and cleaned my energy and you would think that having clean my energy and now it's all going to roll smooth right no there's a whole other thing going on and that's the stuff you got to go through there's certain things every one of us have to go through and there's really no way around it but there's one thing I can help you guys with is that the stuff you're going to have to go through you can at least stop it from being a broken record have any you notice that some of the stuff you go through you keep going through it again and again and again yeah so you ready to hear the secret how to get out of that and this is the the loop of cosmine now first of all you have to identify it might be your energy you got to identify is this a reincarnation thing or is this a karmic thing so number one thing a lot easier is check are you putting out this energy that's falling you around in this crazy loop okay let me just explain how deep this can go though first the complaints that you have for example about your background your past stuff that might have happened to you or family Dynamics or sibling order and all that stuff if you have complaints about that kind of stuff in your life so chances are basically whatever you complain about in life persists get that whatever it is that you have whatever negative feelings you have about your background whe it has to do with your father your mother siblings or maybe something that happened to you if you're complaining still it's going to persist you're putting it out there that's the karmic spray that I speak about so I I didn't want to talk so much about that as much that's more my work I do in the seminars that uh that the rabbi mentioned the possible use seminars that's more working on the deeper karmic Gunk from our complaints about our lives and that again whatever we complain about persists and that's what we're putting out there so if you've noticed you've been on a loop so first thing to check is am I spraying my Loop onto the world and that it's that's just coming back at me all the time time but let's say you said nope I'm not spraying this one man I'm not spraying this one I'm still getting hit I'm still getting hit and it's not because I'm spraying it and by the way don't trust yourself go to someone who knows their stuff and talk it out with them say am I spraying this yeah they'll be honest someone who knows whether or not you're spraying something is going to be honest with you and say yeah you're spraying it yeah or they might say no you know you fixed that thing up man that's not that's not why it's coming at you so once you can verify that you've got clean energy which means as we spoke about the past which means you're burning clean fuel you're not burning some crazy you know story about your past but you're burn burning clean fuel once you've determined that you're burning clean fuel and you're spraying clean energy so then you let's call it going green once you've gone green yeah I don't know you gota be careful of saying that in California but once you've gone green uh sounds like Gang Green yeah once you've gone green so then your next place to look is reincarnation could you have Cosmic debt that's coming around to haunt you now I said I was going to give you the secret how to get rid of it you ready acceptance acceptance here's another thing whatever you resist persist okay whatever you resist persist no one suffers and says oh this is just so organic you know you know when you're suffering you want it gone now like get it away like I don't want to suffer and I don't want to go through this and and how quickly can I get out out of this situation we resisted and there's something about resisting stuff we're going through that causes it to stay I mean which which which hand motion looks more like resistance this or this this so if there's something I'm resisting and it's inside there is it going to stay yeah I do this it drops not saying it's easy this is one of the hard things this is for Spiritual Warriors who can go through stuff and embrace it while they're going through it this you ever heard someone say this must be what I have to go through you ever heard that I must have to those are the kind of things you want to get good at saying this must be what I have to go through people who say that it doesn't persist it's the people who say I don't know why I have to go through this why me why do I always have to put up with this it's the people who resist that it persists but the people who embrace it goes I once had a guy I used to be a past life regression therapist I used to do past life regression therapy many many years ago and there was a particular uh client who had four lifetimes and these were verifiable ones a lot of them when you're doing past life regression it sounds like some 19th century novel and you're just like you know while the guy's doing his thing you know but this particular this particular guy every one of them were like very verifiable and I remember even one and we were on we were it was the snow in the forest and his sister was shot by the Nazis right in front of his eyes and then this I forget what happened the story went on with him he got shot too in the end but the but the these um one after the other after the other he could not accept his is lot and the thing is I knew the client personally and he suffered so much in this life and I asked him to ask God in one of these hypnotic States what is this about what's going on here and Hashem said to him you must accept and the second you accept it will go away and he accepted and he's lived a very nice life since then everything's chill and boy this guy's suff I knew him for 15 years going through hell all 15 years and then it just second he got that message he went like this yes so does that mean now that he fixed like he sort of fixed his purpose was that like part of the purpose that no Cosmic debt some uh purpose is another thing you're you you're here to do certain things that we spoke about that a bit with aaya it's your special contribution to the planet that you got to keep doing till the day you die here we're talking about Cosmic debt it's it's it's payback I'll tell you another thing just something very interesting you're all going to want to kill me for saying this but I promise you this has nothing to do with me this is absolutely clinical that almost every person that I did a past life regression with that was a victim of rape was a rapists in their past life almost every person insane and by the way I hate to even say that publicly but I was the one doing the session and I don't talk during the session I'm just listening many of them I had no idea were even rape victims they were just going they're explaining what's happening in this in the previous life they go through it and I'm just listening going like Whoa man I got a rapist on my hand and afterwards when they came out of the hypnosis the person confided in me that they were raped in this lifetime yeah not necessarily no different genders yeah so anyway but you get the idea there's bleed through we're getting these bleed throughs and like dealing with all kinds of stuff certain things also another one amazing phobias phobias unexplainable fears what do I mean unexplainable see if something happens to you really scary when you're a kid and you're scared of it as an adult that's an explainable phobia so you don't call it a phobia you call it a fear but but a phobia is an unexplainable fear a visceral fear of something that you have no experience with and should C and you certainly should not be afraid of doing past life sessions with people with phobias are fascinating and I after enough of them I started to like almost know what they were going to say and I had a particular student who was going to go on an as hike ASA tour was doing a hike in a in the Golan Heights where you have to jump off cliffs into water but this person was so afraid of water their whole life that they um that he didn't even bathe he'd never bathe every time his parents tried to bathe him he' jump out of the bath he had to be showered like with a spray growing up and he never swam into any body of water his whole life and he had no experience of almost drowning ever so we did a past life session and in that past life like immediately literally like five minutes once he was under hypnosis and we I counted him back to the past life once he was in that past life he found himself struggling to swim and like it was like a lake and his parents were up on the beach and there were sunbathing and he was screaming and they just didn't hear and then he literally like just felt himself float down to the bottom of the lake he was just like a six-year-old kid and that was it you're out and the amazing thing is that when someone can find out what happened it goes away so this guy actually went on the hike he was doing it to deal with the hike and he went on the hike and he's now bathing he goes to Mikvah and he and he now he's all chill he's all good so it's interesting that when you do a past life session and are able to identify the source of the phobia the phobia often goes away it it makes some kind of closure with your conscious mind and this unconscious mind that's aware of the past lives past lives it it it there's a closure that takes place okay um anyway now there's one thing I got to be honest with you guys you're never going to be able to get out of this one okay meaning the karmic stuff clean up your energy past life stuff you have to come to acceptance say it out loud acceptance acceptance yeah don't resist whatever you resist persist whatever if you accept goes away but there's one thing you just can't get at him you know what that is we are all hardwired to our children and when you have a roost full of kids and I bless everyone here to have beautiful families lots of little Jewish kids running around yeah amen you're going to be linked to those kids now guess what each one of those kids is from a totally different realm who's got to go through their own stuff which means they're going to have their karmic garbage no matter how much you try to take care of that kid in fact over taking care of a kid creates its own karmic baggage whatever you your kids going to have their own karmic stuff and your kids going to have their own reincarnation debt to deal with and here you'll be like the most responsible parent ever you know you got your kid with the five harness straps and everything and you you know you like totally took care of this kid and you'll hear it all the time you hear in the news like no one cared more for this kid like this kid it's not possible that this kid could have like suddenly whatever and and nevertheless that kid went through whatever they went through and everyone's just like horrified it's because the kids have their own system they're on their own life it's their Incarnation which brings up a whole other topic which I would prefer normally not to talk about but perhaps in a world of uh because I again we're a lot of Persians amongst us is sometimes it can be that our parents have a bit of a control issue with us just a little bit of a opinion of what we should be doing all day yeah which is the exact opposite of of like understanding spiritual life in the cabalistic reality that each kids their own each kid's on their own system each kid's got their trip and got their stuff this is their tile you know the word TI in Hebrew to trip yeah take a trip yeah so each one of your kids is on their own system they're on their own they could be part of your they're definitely part of your soul structure because you're traveling through with them but they've got their thing they got to do here and okay you can influence them you can give them like somewhat of a Direction but your job mostly is to love them not to control them let your kids be on their own Incarnation and let them find themselves and and express and shine and contribute to humanity in the ways that their natural proclivity lends them to contribute and to follow their dreams so that's just one more aspect of this whole reincarnation thing is is just because our child's born to us doesn't mean we have much more of a say than just teaching them wrong from right and giving them a lot of love helping them get an education but let them make decisions the best we can do is be good examples for them but we can't tell them they're suddenly in the family business right so uh I'm gonna end with a a blessing and a song uh first a blessing may we all be blessed to to clean up our energy amen may we all be blessed that if we need guides and proper guidance to help us see ourselves and see those little spots in there that need cleaning up may Hashem send the guidance amen and then we may we have the fortitude to clean up those places amen may we also be be blessed to go through life smoothly amen may we be blessed that wherever the rough patches are that we should not resist but we should accept amen and may those rough patches go away amen may we all be blessed to have beautiful families amen and may those children that we raise may we have the wisdom to give them the space to be their own incarnations amen and may they be blessed to be well amen and may um we all be blessed to have our souls glow amen may we all be blessed to feed our souls Torah may we be blessed to not have the identity crisis of thinking we're this minuscule body when in fact were this awesome
