supporting you as well if you crinkle that bag one more time I'm a freak just take it out quickly and don't touch it again okay just leave it bro do you mind flipping that Kish over please please thank you I think I have stage fright for the first time ever I'm kidding just thinking right now what you all need to know hity of the next World the [Music] world my senses to keep going with the with the theme of of the you know just what difference does anything make I kind of like that theme you guys like that theme yeah yeah I I noticed a lot of people walk around like nothing makes a difference you know um and in in a in a major way that's very true in the perspective of reality the you know just physical reality like it all all everything just kind of equals out in the end you know everything just kind of boils down to all the equations equal zero in the end and there's a tremendous balance going around always sometimes you need a couple years to go by to see how things balance out but there's a certain um there's just a balance of it all like we'll have drought years and then we're like we're lacking water so so we're going to create desalinization plants and and then those desalinization plants are going to fix our water problem but in fact we do have rain fixing our water problem like this year we're having this insane amount of rain there's a bunch more coming uh in the next days thank God so the uh we starting Thursday it's just going big time rain till like Sunday or till Monday even I think there's a bit of a respit maybe on Friday maybe on Saturday I forget but the um but those deal sanitization plants which are expensive they're hard to invent they're expensive to make but the world's going to need them and is already buying them from Israel and so there's so like the bad news of the drought years was the good news for the world that needs desalinization plants to take the salt out of the water so that people can drink this is happening all the time in all our lives where where we're just where everything honey equals out in the end and you know I'll I'll be walking down the street going to a store Crossing town a little bit get to that sort of find it closed and then meet someone right outside the door who really needed to talk to me but didn't know how to reach me and so like what what's going on why why didn't I just Google Google that store and see that it was closed or was I even thinking that it was would be open at that point of the day or night and there's this person who needed me and and it was all like equaling out cuz there was some some part of the equation of Life there was a lack just like the lack of water I discussed but there was a lack for some person and then I had to have a lack because I needed to get to the store to buy something to fill the lack to fix something in my house and the of course the store was closed but this guy you know needed me and so I got to help him and then I got to go home and my wife said you know what where's the thing to fix the house and I'm like the place is closed she's like you know can't you just take our house a little more seriously and then she she kind of like gives a little rant about house upkeep and then ultimately breaks down crying saying that you know what this has nothing to do with the house it's really what I'm feeling is lonely right now and and so then I'm I'm like wow kicking into gear here like really being there for my wife this had nothing to do with that pipe in the in our in our bathroom and and and now I'm like really there for her and she would never broken down crying like that had that guy had the pipe had the store been open which means I would never have seen this guy and so it all equals zero in the end because you'll notice that whatever you need you always get whatever you want for sure you get but whatever you need you get we know about what you want because what you want is like you know the world conspires for that like like whatever you desire the the universe literally conspires to fulfill that even when it goes against you even when it goes against God you'll notice everything you've ever wanted to do even if it was against God you succeeded so not only did he let you he enabled you but not only didn't enable you he orchestrated the whole thing he even gave you the thought of wanting such a thing and then you think what good is it for God for you to want the wrong things and then you get them the answer is that when you want the wrong thing and you go get it you get these certain feelings inside CU he created us unlike the other unlike mineral plants and animals he created us with conscience and then all of a sudden you get strong in places you would never have gotten strong in because we're in some giant personal growth seminar called our life and he's the personal growth seminar leader and he's got all kinds of tricks up his sleeve to have you doing all kinds of crazy stuff which has you bouncing off stuff in a way that makes you stronger you start to understand the the Topography of the world you start understanding the the edge of things and then from those edges you build yourself and and so God's like way more mature than you realize like you don't do something wrong and God's like don't I can't believe it you can't do anything wrong if God doesn't arrange it for you and even arrange the thoughts of doing something wrong so that you'll grow in his seminar you are in the ultimate seminar it's a bit of a long-term seminar which is a little bit lame no offense God but no it's just that you're going to have a spouse involved while you're like only in the first 20 years of your seminar 30 years of your seminar you're GNA have somebody involved That ain't cool I certainly don't want to marry somebody at the beginning of a seminar yeah I don't mind marrying them at the end of their seminar when they've kind of worked their stuff out because I don't want it leaking all over me but meanwhile I leaked all over my wife and she leaked all over me for years and I guess maybe it's meant to be in God's seminar it's meant to be that way but as someone who runs these kinds of seminars I prefer to get a lot done in five days just to lighten the load of the children growing up in people's houses that maybe they won't need seminars you know because their parents were had clean energy while raising their children so the kids weren't so messed up it' be nice if people ran burn cleaner fuel when raising families and stuff I mean you see like these days most people don't even most people are nervous about even having a family anyway but they this is what I want to speak about today is this like this sum Su total of zero in the end like everything equals out it's incredible like unbelievable Masterpiece this world is with each individual each individual with free will meaning you're making all your choices you're making all your choices so like how do you pull that off and you realize how wondrous this being is that he can have everything equals zero it all zeros out like the whole spreadsheet zeros out in the end over and over again meaning things are zeroing out as we speak all over the place I'm probably zeroing out something for you just by you listening to this some some aspect of your life getting zeroed out so like everything makes sense when we say zeroed out what I mean by that is in accounting like if you're an accountant you got to like things have to make sense for the person you're working for so you want everything to come to zero at the end like like whatever was spent was spent in whatever came in was came came in and it all makes sense and accounted for everything's accounted for you know that's called zered out no leftovers here there anywhere sometimes I wonder if if financially we should actually be zeroed out cuz if your account and kept zeroing you out and and said look you made no money this year but you survived perfectly and you had everything you needed like how do you guys feel about that would you be happy with a life like that if your accountant could come up to you every year once a year and just say you did it again zero and you did absolutely everything you wanted to do you ate everything you wanted to eat you went to do everything you wanted to do you flew to wherever the bucket list places were that you want to fly to and you just came out zero every year and even in later meaning now you have a family now you have kids you're even making weddings and you're still zeroing out every year you bought a home got a mortgage you come out zero every year raise your hand if you could be promised to be at zero every year at the end of the year and your accountant's just like you're a miracle how do you do it like you keep coming out to absolutely zero at the end of every year raise your hands if you'd be if you could get that kind of promise from God you'd prefer that than a prophet but a prophet but who knows what's going to be year after year raise your hand of zero would be perfect for you yeah but you got let raise your hand and you got to let go of profits like because you one year you're going to be up like a quarter million dollars next year may be down a half a million the next year you're up half a million the next year you're down three quars of it so who would take who would take zero every year okay anyone who didn't raise their hand are fools okay no offense no offense but you think money is security believe maybe you missed maybe you missed maybe you missed the point that if you came out to zero every year with a promise from God if you came up to zero every year with a promise from God that you know you're going to be fine and it's going to keep going that way that you did really really well you didn't leave anything over for your kids but on the other hand your kids won't be losers because people who have a lot of money their kids are often losers and the uh and whereas people who are on the level of zero zeroing out in their lives like they're really just spending what they're making as they go and even if they spend more they'll just make more meaning God's just going to somehow like stop it in somehow that you'll have extra money the people who live like that their kids are are generally healthier people they're generally healthier people they're you know you know there's like tribes all over the world that have like zero waste you know this like there's tribes out there they've been living for thousands of years some of them are quite large and they're in jungles of Africa and Southeast Asia and and uh South America and the Amazon like they there's no there's no extra it's zeroed out it's always equals zero in the end and there they are another year another year what an amazing year now our lives you know as westerners not that we're really westerners we're Jews which is you know I imagine people watching this aren't necessarily Jews so you are whatever you are but but if you're understanding my English you're probably at least from a Western Country the uh I'm so happy Israel by the way is not in the west that's just amazing because because the where Judaism and westernism overlap is like nowhere like there's no overlap and this is the scariest thing is if you're a western Jew like let's say you're very Western and you're an observant Jew or whatever observant friendly Jew I don't know what you'd call yourself but you realize that that if you're if you somehow worked out how you could be a Westerner and a Jew at the same time that you completely and utterly missed the point because there's zero overlap between westernism and I don't know how much you guys have studied westernism but you know they have universities if you can't handle a university go on YouTube or something and watch some history classes on Western Civilization but but there we have no overlap and not only that we've never ever ever been friends we are not friends with them in fact you know Islam's more likely to give us a hug before any Westerner would throughout history you know and Islam's no friend of the Jews either but boy compared to westernism and here's the crazy thing is that if we actually put you under a monitor like this is kind of you know it's like an MRI tube but it it's like a different kind of Technology it checks how Western you are compared to how Jewish you are and and so and on the front it like it has a meter of like you know like how how Western versus how Eastern did I say Eastern sorry how Western versus how Jewish you are that uh that in on the on the Eastern side it has an e which stands for sorry we're gonna say how Western you are it has an e for the word asov and however West it goes it has a a y for the word Yakov or Israel and you and you go in the tube and it's just like you know it's it's like checking out every aspect of your life like like uh your spending and your fashion and your you know your over emphasis on externality and and uh you know that's all Western stuff that's all going to be on the side of Asa and and the uh and all your uh relationship to money and and all your all that stuff is all just going to be adding towards ASF and then all the stuff that's like that's like spirituality like that this world's just a holographic projection that God's running the show totally and that you really don't have to do much more than move your limbs around a lot you know like it's something you're good at like get good at something and move your limbs around and people will pay you for it which is insane you know like you get to move your limbs around I mean my the only limb I move around mostly is my mouth which is really funny but if I just move my mouth enough people will pay me for it and they just don't stop people love paying me for moving my mouth around which is so funny think about it from my perspective I'm there's a buck you know so but that's what I do I you are supposed to use your hands once in a while you know but uh otherwise people pay me for moving my lips you know which is the weirdest thing but people do pay for all kinds of stuff you know sometimes I'll even take a car somewhere and I'll pay him for like going like this you know like anyone could do that but uh you know here he's doing this you know and here I handing him money and gee he moved his hands in all the right places you know and put his feet on the right pedals and here's his money you know so you definitely want to move your body around but uh but not much more than that not much more unless you're of course doing great service for the world you're doing great service for the world then do much more do much more if you're driving people around well you better take care of yourself and get your you know what out of that car because it's not going to be good for your posture and not going to be good for anything you're just going to be a bad back broken angry Taxi Driver you know so definitely if you're just moving your body around to get paid um defin definitely uh don't overdo that but if you are making a difference do a lot of it lots of it anyway but imagine this tube which like which is like let me just say it like this even if you're Westerner you would want much more on the side of Y than the side of e even if you're a Westerner because because I know Gentiles don't have Jewish Souls so they don't have the same existential like incredible thirst that Jews do like Jews can't live with themselves if they don't know what they're living for like they're literally going to just Ram their head into a wall Jews who don't know what they're living for are like horrifically depressed horrifically depressed Gentiles who don't know what they're living for I mean what do you think they have bars for so go get smashed and like Ram your car into a tree or something like that's meaningful you know find something to do with your with your with you know with little bit of alcohol or something but but Jews alcohol doesn't make a difference alcohol is meaningless why do you think we have like almost no addiction you know Jewish people have almost no addiction when compared per capita to Gentiles and we just and I mean these days there's more of it but that's because there's more meaninglessness and stuff but they but Jews in general we're we're just not a very addictive people it's because it just doesn't fill the if it doesn't fill our existential vacuum very much you know like how's alcohol going to fill that you know or anything for that matter one thing Jews do like though is like cannabis and psychedelics and stuff like that but that's only because it causes their brains to uh to start thinking in all kinds of new ways and maybe there they'll find meaning maybe there maybe they'll find some meaning there and the problem with it though of course is that they think that the meaning is going to keep staying there every time they smoke some they don't realize that there's kind of a ceiling to like uh you know to that and uh sadly sadly so many Jews that I meet like they got to cannabis because the meaning it brought them but uh but there was a huge law of diminishing returns yet they're still stoned all the time even though they're not getting they're not really getting much Tak they're not getting the advantage of that particular plant that God put in this world but I but he for sure put it in the world for Jews you know definitely Gentiles it's fun at concerts I think Gentiles like cannabis for rock concerts and stuff like you go to rock concerts just all of a sudden it's just like you know the whole place just totally reeks you know um interestingly interestingly U when I was in Santa Barbara uh I lived in Santa Barbara for five years in a college town which had it was the highest populated square mile west of the Mississippi and everyone was between the ages of 18 and 22 imagine what was going on over there I mean it was like it was rated number one party school in the world every year like forever I mean now now it's number six but you know it's already I left there almost 30 years ago and the anyway crazy crazy campus there but you ready for this crazy thing you want to hear something amazing the um so there would be these these psychedelic parties that you know were definitely invite only and you know a lot of people at these events and not a ton you know whatever 50 70 people maybe 100 at a big on a bigger one and it helded some you know some University crazy Flop House apartment and and whatever it was there and everyone's going all night cuz you know they were just totally turned on and they're going all night and lots of loud music and what would happen and this happened every time but every time without one exception is there would be a bedroom like a pretty big bedroom that would slowly fill with people SM smoing it was kind of the place to go schmoo where you could actually hear yourself hear yourself think and maybe hear someone talk and whatever people Gathering there throughout the night but people weren't leaving they were staying and then more people would come in and gather and more people come and gather until it got to the point where there were about 50 people dancing and about 20 people at around Sunrise there were 20 people that met where somewhere near the front of the bedroom by the door two girls were talking and one of the girls said oh my gosh I should never have done this I totally forgot I have to drive to La for about Mitzvah and the girl talking to her say you're Jewish and she's like hope that's not a problem she like well no it's not a problem at all I'm Jewish she like you're kidding and like someone overheard them they're like you guys are Jewish I'm Jewish and you're jewi the person he was talking to he's Jewish you know and everyone's the Jewish but except there's two like total hippies like full on like you know like Sigma the sea monsters coming down like the the dreadlock style you know sitting in the corner of the room not definitely not Jewish but they just had to ask so the whole room goes over to these two like radical hippies and like and they're like you guys wouldn't happen to be Jewish would you and so I looked up and said of course I'm Jewish and and and the other guy's like I'm Jewish and the whole room just goes except for us we didn't know what the hell everyone's talking about though all the other groups just went like you know I mean it was just like one of those havila moments we're havila hav so we're having our whole havila moment and it was more of a Har have a nargila moment and anyway so we have our whole have a nargila moment can you slide over one so these two can sit together please welcome so anyway so check this out so we find out that everyone you know on the magic mushrooms in the Dance Floor are about 50 while the other groups 20 and they all turn out to be Jewish it's weird because they actually sent to it those two first girls went on a mission to ask every person on that dance for if they're Jewish and the place had completely unconsciously segregated itself between Jews blowing their minds blowing their minds on the meaning of life blowing their minds on the meaning of life and how this relates to that and that relates to this and this relates to that and that relates to this which is called beina that's the part of the Mind called beina and they're like completely blowing each other away all night and then a dance for floor with 50 goam sorry is this Essentials 50 Gentiles going going like you know like I don't know what they're doing in there but they're just moving their bodies up boom boom bo you know they kept playing the song Safety Dance yeah ssss you can dance if you want to you can leave so but we could just hear it kind of thumping on the wall th th th and and the anyway this happened over and over again and years earlier I was at a uh I was studying I was exposed to uh study for an exam for the University that I was supposed to be enrolled in and um anyway but I was at this studying for this exam kind of I went into a learning room because whatever an exam and you're supposed to study before an exam at least that's what I was told when I was a kid so I went in there and um turns out there were two people in that room and we you know we started talking a little bit well it became one of those great conversation about the meaning of life you know those great conversation they go all night you know what I'm talking about where you'll have a conversation sometimes with a stranger sometimes with a friend but it's often with a stranger and you'll you'll just go all night in this amazing conversation about the meaning of life so anyway the ne sun rose we all went out to the cliffs and Santa Barbara and watched the sunrise it was like we felt like we knew each other forever we were like we were like siblings and anyway I surfed for a few hours and I called my mother and told her about this conversation and I said but but I didn't study for the exam and she was like that's okay those conversations are what life's all about which was such a sweet thing for my mother to say and and it taught me when I was you know a young man it taught me that that conversations about the meaning of life are are worth having and they're important and they make a difference and they they fill your heart with with purpose and meaning and and they're good these are good things and so ever since she said that I just wanted to have the conversation like I just want to have that conversation but you can't plan such a conversation right can you plan it it just happens like you can't plan it so I would just yearn for it and when it came it came but it seemed to come more once I wanted it and and then more and more and more until I I became the kind of person that that people were seeking that kind of conversation with so or people would say hey you got to talk to so and so and then we'll have that conversation because someone was told that they should talk to me but anyway that went on and on end of the story is I show up at Asia Torah here in Jerusalem exactly like you guys walked in this class I walked in just with a hundred of these yeah literally 100 these coming down my back and they're natural I actually have natural like Italian curls so they're really fun by the way you just they just that's just what they do I do I I do brush them straight though because if I don't brush them straight I get like four to seven on each side perfect ones just four to seven perfect ones coming down on each side but if I brush them together they just zip up like that together which is it's really cool I I can't express to how cool it is because when I say cool I don't mean cool like hey that's cool I meant it's great and convenient because in our community you have to have your paiss twist twisted because otherwise you look like I mean you really look like crusty the clown you know you're just like they just go crazy so you have to twist them but what if you have straight hair like this lady like your pis would be perfect this lady over here would be like suffering with like gels and stuff and like trying to get those pays when you're a little girl they or a little boy they would be like putting them in rollers for when you sleep cuz the mother just she's too freaked out in the morning to get them right and you like you get notes home you get notes home I used to get notes home until they got to know us better you know my oldest son has straight hair and they I get notes home can you please make his pis make his pis okay I have to make his P so whatever we got tired of making his pant now we already have you know now like eight kids later we got this little guy with straight hair and he's just like he makes his payers like first of all those pays get made like once a month maybe and definitely not for school forget that ain't nobody got time for that you know and we're older than all the we're older than the guy who writes the notes you know so he's like certainly not hassling us at this point can I just tell you all when you have children treat their treat their administrators as if they're 30 years younger than than you I'm not kidding treat the administrators if they're 30 years younger than you and you watch the way they react they'll react as if they're 30 years younger than you and they'll just start apologizing all over the place and then doing everything they can for your child because I promise you 30 years later I mean if you still are having kids and we kind of were on the big family plan but but at least help your grandkids but when you're 30 years later and then you're looking at your kids looking at the sorry speaking to administrators you're like they work for you you and the truth is that you realize later they were working for you in the first place you're their client the kids not the client you're their client and and treat them as such they're working for you and make sure they are working for you you be that that mother or that father that's like when the phone rings they're like getting nervous like oh what do we do now but what happens instead you're a young mother you're a young father and you're getting the phone call home because your kid's an absolute Rascal and and the uh and you're like what did he do now I mean you they have the tables turned because think about it anyone who's an administrator of any institution is a certified control freak to begin with so how are they going to relate to the young parents they're dealing with with control they're going to control you all the way to medicating your kids for being creative you know Creative Kids have to get medicated obviously cuz Lord knows education systems are not very creative and so if your kids are born creative there's people who are called creatives and then there's other people that are born as implementers every person you'll notice that this room has five 50% creatives and it will have 50% implementers that's the way God made it so that creative people's creativity gets implemented but what happens is they set up an education system which is all very fresh on the history of our planet the education system is like still like wet paint you know it's it's Universal education I mean there's most countries still don't even have such a thing but we all took it for granted and they made all the creatives feel dumb all the creatives felt dumb today they medicate the creatives I just I was raised before medication so I was just made to feel dumb and U and the the uh but today the creatives are are are basically killed you know numbed with amphetamines and stuff it's like it's insane you know then uh so anyway but you as a parent don't let anybody push you around okay they work for you not vice versa when you when you're going to be that parent um and you'll be shocked by the way don't take my word for it just try it once you'll be shocked to what happens and they literally get to work they literally get to work when you do this now um I get to Israel and I mean people are like literally I'm walking by people and people are like keep your hands and feet away from his mouth you know I look totally crazy for this environment and and all I've got is surf shorts like Tang tops and big amethyst Stone and and flip-flops and that's and a guitar and that's it meaning it's not like I brought a shabas outfit for the Sabbath you know like that that was it I was that knucklehead you see at the cootel you know and um what was interesting is during my my years in Santa Barbara is uh is that I was I was a celibate I don't know if you know what celibate means celibate means uh someone who's who's not sexually active so the reason was was because I realized that I realized that men are men are basically Hunters yeah they're conquerors men are just conquerors and and once a man conquers he moves on to the next kill unless of course you force him into a bond called marriage and then he has to stop hopefully he stops but they are conquerors and the only way to stop him from conquering is force him to have to marry you well how are you supposed to force him to marry you I that's a little difficult and the answer is very very simple it's a thousands of years old formula it's called No Ticky no Washi thousands for thousands of years thousands of years you want sexual favors oh I'm more than happy to provide just put a little insurance policy on my ring finger and you get it all but no Ticky no washing now of course in the 1960s the sexual Revolution when they uh when you know women's lib had already been going for like a long time already it's going like 30 years so like women have like given up every card they got like they they've literally placed it on the table like every card they got there was only one card left and it was that card not every girl but most girls kept that card close to the chest because it's thousands year old old formula to make sure you don't wind up roadkill or 38 and some use Car Lot literally but comes the this the you know the late 60s the hippie era the sexual Revolution and they're just like why do we have to be so good when these guys are acting like a bunch of you know slime bags you know and and they just put the card on the table we'll be we're going to be just like them and from that moment on literally from that moment on men have rented why buy when you can rent and literally you watch the marriage age went from like young 20s at that point it was at Young 20s only like 10 to 15 years earlier it was like 16 17 18 for girls but it went from Young 20s and it just shot to 30 like that and then it moved up from there after then it went gradually up but it like shot like like it shouldn't have done that meaning the history was girls got married between 12 and 14 that's history of the world but then like modern times after the war it moved up to like 16 like my grandmother was married at 16 your great-grandmother was married at 16 maybe 17 not yours exactly I mean that was the average not saying yours so maybe yours yeah everyone was I mean no one's going to why why wait you know it's only a bigger hassle the longer you wait and if you think you're getting prettier you're not you know so so like don't be an idiot you know now now you can possibly fool a man into spending the rest of his life with you but that those chances are going to go down rapidly as your 20s move on now the anyway but that age just like that age just like popped up to like way up out of nowhere and now you know what the nowhere was the nowhere was was the sexual Revolution just popped it up because you know now today we have just a singles epidemic now it's already so much later what are we we're now uh 60 years later isn't that crazy it's no it's 30 50 years later now it's 50 years later a little more and it's like people are like people are really stuck you know not to mention no one has getting married is nothing staying married staying married is like become like the even harder than getting married crazy world anyway so here I am in Jerusalem and you know I'm I'm dressed like that and uh and I came to my first shabas I was being hosted and I was starving cuz ASA Tor didn't serve food on Fridays at the time I don't know if they do now and to our the students and all I've got is a little sheet of paper saying saying the my host for that shabas night I'm waiting all day for this I'm I'm literally I'm I'm like starting to eat my arm yeah and and I and so I'm just waiting for Sundown because like and I asked him is it chabus and they're like yeah it's shabas I just went straight to my host I didn't know you're supposed to pray first my host is down at the cotel but I'm wrapping on the door till my Knuckles are bleeding and finally this lady opens the door outraged outraged wearing like a sock on her head and and she's outraged and she's like what the hell do you want no she didn't say it like that but she's like you know what is it you know CU I'd been pounding on her door she hadd been sleeping obviously she's like her eyes are all red and stuff and and I'm like I just like stick out my hand I'm like hi I'm Johnny Glazer I'm your guest this shavas and she just like pulls her hand back like you know she didn't even P put it out she just went she's like you pray first at the cotel where you find my husband and after you're through praying you come back up and I'm like what's he look like how am I supposed to find this guy like it's like where's Waldo you know and and anyway but I asked her why did you take your why didn't you give me your hand I asked her why didn't you give me your hand you know what she says to me she says amazing thing like God gave her these words she says she says you know it keeps things really clear and nobody gets hurt now think who she's talking to I'm coming from the big biggest party school in the world and I'm like protecting the hearts of the entire half world population called female and here I am this like champion of the hearts of humanity and and she tells me that she doesn't even touch to keep things clear I was like I it was not so often I get outdone but she outdid me this lady totally outd does me and I never heard of such a thing by the way the first time I ever heard there was such a thing as not touching someone the opposite gender so I was just like I bowed to say goodbye going down to the Cotto I learned the bow trick immediately so I'm like it is an honor and you just totally ued me one I'll explain later and uh and I'm hereby taking that on I'm not even going to touch people the opposite gen and then I went down to the cotel and I prayed the next person I touched was my wife three years later studying in Yeshiva I'm still touching her how did you find the guy what did you find the guy I didn't find him I try thousands of people down but thank God I had the address which is great so so here we are in the uh you know here I am in in uh you know these class and the classes are riveting I mean they're like truly meaningful and and they're going deeper than we were going in our college campus conversation these conversations were going deeper and I was impressed and uh and but then there were like certain rabbis like there's one great Rabbi named R yitu burkowitz he was going even deeper and that really freaked me out because where he was going I didn't know you could go and even with all those more psychedelic events and camp on campus he was going deeper than we were going for sure and you could tell very well by the way he was speaking that you're getting like you were getting the outer membrane of the periphery of things like meaning he was you could tell you can tell when someone's speaking from periphery but there's endless more depth and there was clearly endless more depth than this guy we were like a joke to him we were like we were like a Sedaka case when he was speaking to us in this room you know you could tell he was just giving sadaka of his wisdom and we were just the were the poor people he gave an hour to and I got to meet a few more people like that and after a while I was like whoa what's going on here man anyway so we did a lot of hanging out in the Square have you guys seen the Jewish Court of square out there so we're doing a lot of hanging out in the square and I noticed around 10 11:00 one night that we had not stopped talking about the meaning of life for the last 6 hours since the classes here ended we were there till like from literally from this time we just kept going with what the meaning of life was um there was another night a couple nights later where we were we were drinking beers in town you know we were you know whatever that area is called over there where all the Z's you know all all those place the zis didn't exist then but it was like where all the partying was and we were partying out there and we were like getting pretty buzzed and I realized that we're all totally buzzed and we're still talking about the meaning of life it's not stopping it's just not stopping and we're we're passing out every night in the room they gave us here at asan Tera you know wherever we were staying and we were like talking till we basically till someone just stopped answering because he passed out and then you passed out and then we'd wake up the next morning and go back into the conversation at this point I realized that we are the nation of the conversation we are the nation of the conversation we we are the meaning we are the embodiment in the meaning of life and when a Jew doesn't have that meaning man he's jumping off a bridge forget alcohol Gentiles drink alcohol Jews are going to go for something bigger just to numb the pain of a meaningless life when you're when you got a you got 30 terabytes of hard drive and the only software you get is McDonald's MTV or Facebook Instagram you're you're you're you're you're it's like a Ferrari in traffic you know it's just overheating you're desperate for meaning like I see Jews when I meet secular Jews I don't see this guy like you know with his Convertible Audi and stuff and the killer Ray bands and stuff I don't see that I see an Ethiopian with a with a distended belly and a swollen skull and and and toothpick arms and flies everywhere that's what I see because he's desperate he's desperate he's freaking out to the point of of like maybe buying this might help and so if there was a meter of whether you're western or Jewish those two don't overlap man because we're the nation of the conversation and westernism is they hate that conversation because when you have this conversation listen to me good right now everybody when you have that conversation you stop being a connoisseur did I say a connoisseur when you have that conversation you stop being a consumer and you are happy that everything equals zero at the end of the year as long it as long as it all zeros out you're good because we're only here to have the conversation and we support that conversation if you got money support it I have 30 bucks going here and 40 bucks going here every year my account's like what what are these like every month you're like emerging and I'm just like oh that Rabbi is amazing like he's got a whole Community who's like you know totally in the conversation he's like what conversation can you stop sending him a monthly whatever and the answer is no no I'm not going to stop that I want to make sure the conversation's happening because he's one of the leaders of the conversation we got to all have this conversation and we're going to fight the West with that conversation we're not going to stop having it and if we stopped having that conversation this ear would just fall out of orbit from the weight of its problems you I like the Dobie Brothers song called I'm here to love you you know what the first words are I heard it said about the weight of the world's problems is enough to make the ball fall right through space it ain't even worth it to live with all that's going on yeah and check out that song it's amazing lyrics we're the nation of the conversation we need to make sure that we're always having it because otherwise this place is hell it's hell you want to make this world beautiful make sure you're having that conversation make sure you're finding people who know how to have it on a higher level than you so that you can glean their wisdom and for sure make sure that if you happen to have the wherewithal that you support the conversation being had Shalom everyone
