What happens to his as we all know
there's a difference between the first
three days and seven days of aut going
to speak about that what happens in the
first three days how he goes to visit
his grave and then what happens during
the seven days when he's still by the
house and then the 30 days etc. There's
idea afterwards of which is certain
pains that he has to go through that is
attributed to the dead person even while
he is in the kev even while he is in the
ke there's there's something that's
called the gilgulim that happens to an
afterwards betta we're going to speak
about that also we will also speak about
something that's called dbukim which I'm
sure we're all familiar with dbukim
where these dukim come from what do they
have to do with how is it we'll speak
about seansim that some people like to
do hopefully it's not mutar but some
People like to call and speak to the
dead. How does that work? We'll give you
the how-to of how to speak to the dead.
101. No, I'm just kidding. I'm not going
to say how. I'm not going to say no.
We're not just joking. What?
Not 401.
That's good. Yeah.
Okay. Anyway, so that's it. The seansing
is also one of the things that have to
do if they're open.
Okay. Sean will also speak about that.
how to speak to the dead and I said
okay then you should know there's all
and there's ganim I'm not going to go
through the whole with you okay cuz it's
going to get a little bit boring but I
will speak about ganed and ganim about
you got you got to know what you're in
store for at least ganed at least we're
all in store for ganed right ganim is
you know for your neighbor but I'll just
in case you have to know what's going to
happen to uh what's going to happen to
So yeah, you have to know all these
different types of things and the
question is why do we have to speak
about that? Like I said today is a
introduction. I want to know why we need
to speak about these things. Why are we
spending time? It will probably take us
a good number of Okay, I venture to say
a good number of shum. It could be
between 15 to 20 shim even. There's
plenty to say. I also want to speak
about meaning the
what the mishbat is going to be after it
happens. Is
it not? There's a lot a lot to say.
Okay. So the question is why before we
discuss any of these details why do we
need to discuss it as they say my
whatever will be will be let it happen
you know whatever is going to happen
we'll we'll find out we're it might be
in for some surprises we might be in for
I I'll speak about although near-death
experiences I will give a lot of stories
of near-death experiences in order that
we could feel and see how real what
we're speaking about is and we're also
going to speak in a few things in aut
maybe we'll speak about the power of
kadesh if we have time we'll speak about
a loot where the days come from etc.
We'll see how much we have time for
biker. Okay.
There's a lot to say. So why would you
say ignorance is bliss? I'd rather not
know than to know. And that is exactly
what the idea of today's of today's here
is. Okay. We're going to say what the uh
the the idea is. Now before we start
speaking out to prove how necessary it
is, before I start speaking out the
rabbis to speak how necessary it is, I
want to speak out a reason why. And the
answer is very simple. Because many
people, most of us, all of us, we go
through, we run through life, we go
through our what we call our herim, what
we're used to, we spoke on the
things that we're used to and
everything. We run through life without
so much change here and there. We try to
make a change, try to make a little bit
improvement here and there. But we need
sometimes an impetus, an incentive to do
it. When a person thinks about death,
that is one of the biggest incentives
that a person realizes, wait, I got to
do something with myself. I cannot
continue in this this crummy thing that
I keep doing. I can't continue. I've got
to do it. When a person thinks about
death, there's no more powerful.
When a person remembers the day of
death, that is the most biggest
incentive that a person has to be able
to affect himself in one way or the
other. Okay? The best way to do it is
dava when he does that. Okay? by
learning about it, introspecting it, not
just remembering it. But the more you
learn it and realize how real it is, the
more it is incentive for change,
incentive to do something with my life,
not just waste it ali
if I have something infinitely, if I
have something forever, so I don't
appreciate the thing I have.
We say if a child his whole life heard
the word yes, okay, then he really never
heard the word yes. Until he hears a no,
then he can appreciate a yes. Most
children who hate their parents are very
difficult with their parents or those
people or those children that grew up,
you can call it spoiled, but it's not
more than spoiled that their parents
always let things go. They always let
things go. There was no real gulot, no
limitations, etc. Because when there's
no limitations, so he never appreciates
all the things that he did receive. The
money that he constantly got or the
things that he was able to to go to and
not no limitations. When there's no
limitations, there's no bigger
destruction for a child. It's it's a
rishoot. It's a a rash who treats his
child like that. You think you're being
nice, but you're really being vicious.
If everything that he receives is yes,
because he never appreciates. And we
find those types of kids who received
everything. Those are the ones at Duffka
end up not liking their parents or they
always have a hate for their parents or
they can go to some, you know, they
could always have difficult issues with
their parents because of that. It's the
same thing here. When you know that
there's death, it puts a ghoul to life.
It puts an appreciation for the life
that you have. When life is forever, so
then there's no appreciation for the
fact of what you're living right now cuz
you never really want to think about
death. A typical Goesa concept is to
ignore death. It's not to speak about it
to try to go to go around. I a little
bit grew up with the idea whatever he
said about oh you know we might die one
day we don't talk about these things
that we don't talk about change the
subject okay and that's a typical
concept we are not believers of such a
concept because the more you do that the
more you don't appreciate the life that
you have you just keep overlooking what
uh is is coming what's coming soon to a
theater near you understand you have to
appreciate what's what's coming in order
to appreciate the life that you
presently have right now and then you
obviously make the change you always
realize you have to do something about
it but limitations give appreciation to
that thing that's limited you follow
what I'm saying yeah it gives a
tremendous amount of appreciation there
was a uh uh whatchamac called in in in
uh there's a book which some of us might
know it's a CBT book okay by Dr. Burns
David Burns I think some of us know what
you're talking I'm talking about not a
famous book right
there
what
huh
No, no, no, no. He's not I don't think
he's Jewish. I don't think he's Jewish.
No, no, no, no. Not him. Did I say
David? I meant David. Yeah, I'm sorry. I
said David.
His reb is Jewish.
The guy who the guy who meets the guy,
I thought he was the one who invented
it.
Jewish. I'm the guy who
So, he was Jewish. Yeah, it makes sense.
Look, Lisa, I'm not going to get into
CBT now. It's our discussion, but it is
a very Jewish concept. From all the
different therapies, it's the most makes
sense. It's talking about it's basically
reframing things, rethinking things.
Everything is subjective as opposed to
objective. Everything goes according to
the way you think and he talks about
different he has charts and this very
mathematical. He took psychology almost
into a little bit of a mathematical type
of way of reframing. I'm okay with it.
I'm not discussing it. That's not what I
hear it for. The only thing that bothers
me there's one section that book which
double checked it double check. I looked
it up before uh these shirim on purpose
cuz he has one about CBT also anxiety on
death when people are scared of death
have fears of death and all these types
of things and okay like I said most of
the book is pretty kosher he's a pretty
good guy he doesn't do anything of
course like every go he has his little
inserts which you know but he's he's
beser but when it comes to this it's
completely kazer okay that's why a
person has to know what you're reading
what you're not reading the whole thing
is trying to see a and try to make him
think cognitively about death, how it's
really no big deal and you don't have to
think about it and he thinks almost
philosophically what is death if it's
nothing so why should he be afraid of
nothing is nothing there's nothing to be
afraid of nothing nothing doesn't exist
and if it's something so that something
is something that you
talks about what's a person afraid about
what are you worried about you're not
going to be able to play tennis anymore
are you playing tennis right now as
you're reading this book you're also not
playing tennis so when you die you're
also not going to play tennis what's the
big deal my kilo what's the he talks
very logically to try to make you feel
like big deal. Oh my my kids and my my
wife and this they're not going to have
me. So he basically says don't worry you
know I'm used to you know they manage.
Have you ever gone on vacation before
without them? Have you ever gone to work
away for a week or whatever? Then they
manage a week without you. Okay. So
they'll manage whether you're dead also
on the floor. Big deal. What's a big
deal? Him goes through the whole thing
like this. Now whether the the cognitive
way of thinking is stupidity or not.
Okay. But the whole mahalik is a mahal.
It's the idea of trying trying to ignore
trying to ignore a little bit of
you are not functioning.
Well, okay. Yeah. Now, that's what I was
going to say. If he's talking about
people who are mish in the situation
alipim, right? It depends. Now, if if
he's to me it looks like he's talking
about overall and there's an issue and
you shouldn't think about it and you
know that but you're right. If a person
becomes OCD about it or if it's making
him not function and it's completely
destroying you, let it go. You can read
it. I I'll let it go. Okay? And that is
part of part partly part of my
introduction here saying that I hope
this doesn't cause anyone anxiety but
we're going to get grubby here. Okay,
we're going to speak about what happens
by death if it leads to anxiety. So I'll
show you the chapter in the CBT book.
You can read that also. Okay, we'll try
to make a a balance so you won't get
crazy. Okay, but a Jewish concept is to
think about it to realize it to utilize
it because it's the only way you're
going to change a whose whole focus
of life is don't think about it. Don't
think about life just you know eat drink
and be married cuz tomorrow right that
that type of concept is like forget
about it just
don't think about it and that's the I
just want you to it's a very big
difference that we have between them
this idea that we are here to try to
make a change we're to improve ourselves
and we need this as in like I'm going to
bring you now about 15 kals about 15
khazals to prove this point to show this
idea that in order to make that change
you need to be able to do that okay
Now on a similar note before I start
with all the different khazal on a
similar note you should know there was
two philosophers two big philosophers I
wrote them down by name sarte and
kamoose I don't know if anyone's any big
big philosopher name you know these
names
I've heard of kamoose
kamoose kamoose kami madi sart too
sart when were they alive how long ago
French I think
French go
sart was
there it was in in the 20th century
oh the reason okay fine United
they both philosophize and have
philosoph philosophy how the more one is
into death. Okay. The more you think
about death the more you realize how
meaningless life is how meaningless life
is meaningless life is and how that's
why it's almost a reason not to think
about it and the more they overemphasize
the idea of death. It becomes something
a little bit meaningless. Why live
anyways? Tomorrow you're going to die.
What's it doing? And you know, they're
already at least they're a step ahead of
the Americans a little bit because the
Americans are like, you know, take
advantage, do all your tabot and do this
because you're going to die. So they're
already like, yeah, but anyways, what
are the tabots going to get you for 5
seconds? You get your excitement and
this and then afterwards anyways, you're
going to be a skeleton in the grave in
after, you know, a few years and
finished. You're going to be you're
going to be just what's the big deal?
You're being ashes and this all over the
ocean. Well, who are you? You're nothing
anyways. You're not. So that that was
the more deeper way of thinking it than
the typical teenager way of uh taking
advantage of everything they could get
their hands on. You understand? That's
now that is true from a goa perspective.
If my focus on life or my belief in life
is more or less a physical life, then
the more you think about death, the more
temporary to life is and the more
depressing it is and the more
meaningless it is. Why why do it once
you know and this is my um here and this
is our whole emphasis of why these shimm
are taking place is the more we believe
in a spiritual world and we're going to
prove this is the best proofs if you
want of a spiritual world the more that
you realize there is a spiritual world a
world that is there's a life after death
and there's what to afterwards so once
you have that system so there on the
contrary death is a big for life it
gives you incentive oh I have 80 years
90 years I'm going to use every every
minute of But I'm going to take
advantage. It gives it gives life to
life and it gives reason to live. You
understand what I'm saying? So us when
we in our miser in our type of way of
thinking that we believe in an afterlife
and we know what we're here for. When we
learn about death, it is very productive
and it is very meaningful, not
meaningless. If your focus is all on
body, so of course the more you think
about death, the more meaningless life
is. But on the on the contrary when you
realize that there's a reason why we're
here. So it becomes much more
meaningful. So it's a very good way of
understanding this concept this this
difference and how important it is to
know these ideas. Okay. It's not stem
just to get excited to learn about some
mystical ideas. We're here to be able to
get our hands on understanding the
meaning of life and why and why we're
here. Okay. Very good. That was a little
bit of a few things. Now based on that
until the end of the shar I'm going to
give just a few kazal a few different
khazals or different ideas based from
the rabonim about the importance of
learning this subject okay and then next
week we will start the actual subject
about what happens okay the system one
by one of what happens okay so let's
start with a with a with a few things
first of all in the midressa which is
right in our para believe it or not it
says
Ganed
and he says the other it says he twice.
One is for Ganed and one is forum
also.
And the midra says what's so good about
doesn't sound so pretty. It's not nice
over there. Why is it so exciting? So,
so the midra says
because of your year of you resist from
being
therefore it's because by knowing and
learning about and thinking about it so
it gets you to avoid you from being over
any
okay and that in bed brings
there's a which I'll mention a few times
it's a coal one who's alive
a person who was alive is to think
sometimes about ideas of death. Because
if he brings death into his lexicon into
his vocabulary
when a person thinks about it and gets
it so then it will be to do there's a
um uh yeah
is another interest in cohellet that's
where the is
they always think of the there was a s
called which is not learned learn so
much. You could find it in scarce
places. You still find they have one in
Morai, but they have everything in
Morai. They don't have it as much. It's
not as popular anymore. The answer why
it's not so popular anymore. It was
learned a lot in Europe in yeshivas.
They used to use it's a little bit of a
kad about 150 years ago, I think
something to that extent of it has good
muser there. Why don't we learn there?
Because he's too scary. He's not nice.
That's why that's why people don't know
anymore. He's very tough sometimes and
he gives good hard muser. And nowadays
people like to hear I don't want to give
any titles but you know don't be me
everything's going to be okay you know
just everything will be fine and just
feel good and all these types of things
that's what people want to hear. So
nowadays people want don't want to hear
muser some hard mus they want to hear
you know just everything's hunky dory
and everything's fine okay they don't
that's the thing
um yeah I had a relative that was
hearing some of my sh on my sila sh they
said they like the shim but they don't
want to hear it because they more like
the sh says everything's okay you're a
good guy you're nice it's okay you're
sweet everything's fine whatever you're
doing is good just try again you know
that type of thing what
don't be hard on yourself that's it's
our door we're so weak that people don't
even want to hear like ah you know they
don't want to hear something so hard so
he g he gives it over the head sometimes
and he has a few pieces about death
which will be quoted sometimes and today
especially so he says in like this he
brings the in that says in order to be
you have to bring the only way to
conquer the is to get the if not learn
if not learn
and if not you score
Then a person has to remember the day of
death. And he's over there. It doesn't
say remember
death. It says remember the day of
death. What's the difference between
saying remember death as opposed to the
day of death. He says because it's not
enough just to remember that I will die.
That a person will die. Okay? Shouldn't
it's not enough just to remember that
one will die. It's important to know
what will happen when he will die.
That's what he says. and to know and
into everything that's going to happen
and what is eventually going to happen
when that happens. And that's the only
way he says to be properly. The only
real way to be
is if a person introspects appropriately
and properly into what will happen
during the day of death. Okay? And what
will happen?
He says like this
someone who really wants to be odem he
should write to himself a seph he should
write for himself a book which means a
few pages that it writes there all the
punishments that the will receive all
the punishments you're going to receive
for doing something wrong in a few words
he says in a few words write it and you
should make a shva and make an oath that
I'm going to read this he says at least
once a week I don't I don't recommend
doing that at all maybe once a year
would be lucky on your kipper okay but
he says at least you should try to read
into it a little bit.
You've got to look into these things in
order to make sure that you will you
will do it. Okay, that's uh that's what
he says. Another we quoted this in chuv
we mentioned this when we learned chuva
he brings different ways of being one of
the ways he says is remembering that
we're getting old. We're all getting
white hairs. A white hairs like we
mentioned during this year is
its means that upstairs is inviting us
to come upstairs. Every time we get
another white hair, it means we're one
step closer. So it says on that he says
the only way to be properly
is you have to get ready for Hashem
because you don't know when you're going
to die and
you he actually says you should be
nervous.
You're going to go back one day to where
you came from. And therefore, you should
look into your ways and the things that
you did
instead of being calm and ragu and
complacent. You should be worried.
He says you should really be nervous.
Okay? Now again, we don't want you to be
OCD and I don't want you to lose the
function and everyone's going to, you
know, go home and not wake up and then I
get a I'm not talking about obviously,
but a person has to put these ideas and
you'll see when we go through the
stories, when we go through what
happens, it makes it much more real to
learn this to learn these ideas because
you're going to go up to
and you're going to have to do
okay the same writes in the opposite
also. remember this that are going to
get in the future and remember how much
how beautiful it is and how good good
things are up there. So therefore he
says it'll be
so therefore a person should go out of
his way to to do it the another
speaks out you should always try to read
the gar in which talks about the
in order to remember the
I brought the just a copy of the garra
in order that I can just read it to you
just so you know the basics of the garra
it's a famous gor I'm sure most of us
are familiar with it but at least I
should mention When Zakai was sick, his
went to visit him. They said, "Now Zak,
I don't know if you know the Gumar says
about him, he was one of the main of
and he knew everything. He knew and he
knew everything
from but he also knew all the all the
things." It says the the the discussions
that the trees have with each other.
He started crying. Look, his day his
death has come. He started crying.
Sounds all right. So said,
what are you crying about? You everyone
knows where you're going. You got a
one-way ticket to Ghana and everybody
knows you're you're good to go.
If I'm going in front of that, today
he's here and tomorrow not and then
if he gets mad at me or if he gets mad
at me, it's not forever. One day he's
going to die also. And if he kills me,
he can't kill me forever. He doesn't
have the capabilities to kill me. So I
could be I can give him money. I could
bribe him. I can figure things out. And
still I'd probably be crying. Still I'
now.
But now I'm going to
he's going to be here forever. And if he
is angry at me, it's forever. His cast
is always there. If he if he traps me,
it's it's he can do it forever. if he
kill if if I die it's a proper mita it's
not a physical mita it's a it's a
spiritual mita and I can't I can't bribe
him I can't slip him with a couple bucks
and make sure that he's okay
and here I have in front of me I'm about
to die and I have two friends in front
of me
he says who knows maybe I'm going to
you don't think I should be crying who
knows I might be going again you see
what the writes about this person
he was he was the god of he was the one
that saved during the time the mdash and
he says
this is the idea this is the that a
person has to always remember it's good
to know that gummor to always remember
that a person has to always
uh to keep to keep these things um uh to
keep these things on him okay the
he says an interesting thing which is
funny he says that people are nim to be
Okay.
He writes people are compared to au
and he reads a different shaw. Usually
that's not the reason why he's saying he
says this reason he says because
when they know they're all going to and
they're still complacent they're still
okay they seem to be beset. I was by
when we learned about 15 20 years ago
and I went to one of these betas and
it's very interesting how it works. You
have a line of cows in a behind a gate
and they're very lined up perfectly
behind the gate. They open one gate and
one cow comes out and the next cow stays
and waits for his turn like a good man.
Not that don't jump the line, you know,
like don't get ahead of any like the
what? Like the lamb. Yeah. Exactly.
Right. Yeah. He stays and they all go
and they they're all lined up there.
That's the truth. More or less. They're
not blindfold. They're all there then
and they're all he opens the gate. One
guy comes out. They lie him down. They
wrap up his legs more or less. The sh
comes out. You picture the guy with the
thing and the sh comes out. His whole
job is about a 50 5-second job. He comes
out like that. So blood everywhere
squirting all over the place. Within 3
seconds, the chain's already up and he's
hanging up on the thing and he's ready.
It's already dead. You should know. Just
so you know, in case someone here has
questions about that, it's properly
dead. I would speak about it
scientifically but you should know with
it's very interesting with all kosher
animals they saw that the main uh the
vertex the the main part of the brain
which is the part that's the most
nervous system it's all in the front
they're both in the front there's a
front part and the back part and they
all envelop over here in the front of
the neck in the same part that gets cut
and it's only with with with a cow and a
sheep and a goat those are the only
three animals that happens they and a
pig and a horse and other animals things
like that they they have one in the
front and one in the back. Which means
if you would check the pig, if you would
do the pig, it would be it would be
painful. You would actually feel the
pain because he wouldn't be completely
brain dead yet. Okay? It would take a
certain amount of time, whatever, till
the blood comes out. It would take a
certain amount of time. But with kosher
animals, the second that it happens,
they're both fully cut. He has no
connection to the brain. The the the
pain is completely is completely gone.
That's a jugular.
It's a jugler, but it's a little bit
more than that. Yeah. It's um there's a
piece there's a part where all the main
parts of the blood of the in the brain
is it's called the vertex circle or
something like that. I don't remember
exactly. Anyways, so so but what it's
interesting is and someone you know I
was there with someone else actually and
he was just like doesn't doesn't anyone
like realize what's about to happen to
them? Like they're all waiting in line
very patiently very nice all moo moo you
know they're all moving no one seems to
be very excited. No one seems to care.
They all take their turn and they're
very but the answer is this exactly
writes he always writing the same thing
and he says this even though he knows
he's he doesn't know the difference
he doesn't realize what's happening to
him he doesn't realize he's not getting
scared from it doesn't affect him in any
type of mental or physical way it
doesn't bother him so much he doesn't
get affected by him so he says
unfortunately 99% of the population is
the same thing or 99.9% of the
population is the same thing
unfortunately People don't realize, you
know, that's how it is that people just
go to, you know, no one even thinks
about it. Yeah, one day, who knows? And
it's a crazy thing that people could
live their whole entire life with some
type of phenomena, not realizing that
tomorrow, you know, tomorrow it could be
that's it. If you would, it would just
be it would change the whole person's
life. It wouldn't be at all. He wouldn't
have any room to do that. But a person
lives like a behemoth. That's exactly
what he forgets your mita. He forgets
it. It's all temporary. And he could
just keep going until mom is that last
day. It's a crazy thing. You see with
elderly people how people are able to to
do such you know they don't realize that
time is of the limit.
Um
the
course of says these words
don't ever forget the day of death.
Don't ever forget the final day when a
person is going to go to the grave.
Make sure you see it.
Pay attention. He says it. Frame it in
your mind as if it's there. As if you're
standing in front of
you're going to go there anyways. So,
you might as well have it and you'll be
able to protect yourself from the future
of having a thing. I'm going back to the
now. Listen what the M says he says some
heavy muser now okay he says some heavy
muser first he says I'll quote one point
that so he says like this first of all I
just spoke about says that a person has
to picture himself
he gets much more grubby like I said
people don't like to read the book
anymore it's not fun he basically says
picture yourself he says this words of
deer picture yourself dead on the floor
in your kitchen that's what he says a
guy dropped dead on the floor of your he
says in the middle of your house dead. I
shouldn't say I mean I'm saying picture.
I'm not saying it happened. So I think I
could say the word you. Okay. But he
says picture he says picture yourself
now dead on the kitchen and all your
family surrounding looking going wow it
looks like he's dead. Yeah that's it. As
he says he says these words he says
we'll speak about this coming soon
after the nama goes back and forth
incredible we'll see the actual that
happened together with what say are very
in sync the two of them the nama's going
back and forth so you know what's going
on says you know what's going this is
before any near-death experiences and
the mister is already saying and you
know everything that's going around
around your body. Okay. He writes uh
and he also says and this is also that
you know you're going back and forth to
different places that you're used to in
your house or in the area that you were
etc. you were back and forth to all
these different places. And like I said,
he gives strong mus. He says from you
were five minutes ago, you were a very
wealthy man, a person with a lot of
money. If he was talking about an or
whatever wealthy you have with a family
and this and here you are now, you're
naked. Now you're arum. You're naked,
finished. You don't have any clothes.
They're already going to strip your body
anyways. They're going to take it away.
You have no money. You're bankrupt.
There's never been in the history of
mankind person who has been a wealthy
person that didn't go bankrupt. Every
single person went bankrupt. Why? Cuz
one day he dies. Everybody dies. Even
the guy in Forbes, number one guy,
doesn't make a difference. He's also
going to end up dying one day and it's
all over. What is he useful? Who knows
about the guy 100 years ago who's a
multi-millionaire. Who knows about him?
The only thing he keeps is of course
it's da that he gives. Okay.
That's that's he says, "And picture your
osher." And he does a purpose. He gives
a good one of these punches under the
belt also. He throws one in and he says,
"And all your money is going to go to
your wife's second husband, right?
Your wife's going to get remarried and
she, you know, she inherited all your
money. So, it's going to go she gets
remarried. All that hardearned money 60
years you were working." She says to
Sheni, you know, she's going to get
remarried now and all that money is
going to go. It sounds funny, but it's
so true just to think what are you
slaving for? Why are you slaving slave
for more and more and more? Go give it
stock or do something with Not saying
they give away any money. I'm not
stupid. Obviously, you got to take care
of your family, etc. But going and going
till the last day just for what? So, it
goes to it ends up going to to uh to the
wrong places. And there they are. He
says, "And then they're all around you.
And then eventually they take you to the
Kev. They take the person to the Kev and
they start lowering him into the Kev and
everyone's crying. You're a good guy.
He's a good guy." They're crying. He
was, you know, and they start and then
suddenly boom, boom. What happens? They
start throwing dirt on you and it's
really not so bad.
used to do these things and it's not
stuff for the it doesn't you don't have
to be the god of the door to do these
things just stand there and think about
now it's hard for us to do this I'll be
honest with you when I go to Kev almost
every oh that's what you hear from me
but there's something wrong with that
right every time I not every time but
almost every many times when I go to Kev
I picture what the says here you picture
I'll give you more years than that right
picture yourself in the place of this
guy who's being lowered he's going down
into the cover they're putting down and
then boom, one thing, a clump of dirt
and another clump of dirt, another clump
until he's completely
till it's completely covered and you
don't see him anymore. And I think about
at the time when it happens also, I go,
"Yeah, sure. Everyone's here." So, oh,
everyone's so sad. In about 15 minutes,
he's going to be all by himself. It's
all over. You said a kadesh, that's it.
And now he's by himself. And not just
that and he brings all the shepher to
mus but it's something I've always
thought about even before I saw it is
then what happens after that at night
time bitter clone in the middle of a
graveyard scary in a graveyard no right
this guy is just sitting there lying
down in the ground and then the shama's
going back and forth the first three
days at least we'll see the seven days
three and seven and the shama's there
and you're just sitting by yourself in a
graveyard if it's the winter pouring
rain coming down in your grave and there
he is all by himself turning himself
into a bag of bones he ends up being
just a bag bones. It's important
sometimes, remember, I get in scary. I'm
not coming to make anyone with some
serious OCD problems and start having
anxiety your whole life. That's not the
idea. But like I mentioned before, it's
supposed to give a certain incentive to
realize we're not here forever. There's
got to do something about it. Every
minute that you take advantage of and
what you do is is very um
um then he talks about after the mishb
and all that. And he says to make sure
about all the careful for every wrong
word that you said and all the tulim all
the places that you went incorrect and
all the things that you did wrong you
have to start thinking about it. Okay,
that's what he says. He continues though
and he says these words after that inter
that beautiful introduction
unfortunate is the one who doesn't think
of
woes to the person who doesn't think of
when the nama goes out and he keeps
saying oh it's about
about the worms that go inside of a
person's body the person physically
feels those worms okay you should know
it's a physical thing that's also
something we're going to we're going to
speak about the that comes in the ke is
also kev
That is also something that is felt
unfortunate is the one who doesn't think
of
who doesn't think of
who doesn't think about all the
different you can go
okay and he also brings
now again I told you I I'm saying it
again I said it a couple times it was a
tough safer and I we don't use all the
mus that he says but he says a woman who
sings to her child about Shirot and this
and sweet songs and all that. Very nice.
But he in his opinion tashir.
She should sing to him about and that's
he says a mother should sing to her
child. Okay. Once upon a time they had a
strong skin that thick skin. They
weren't like us. Rather he should sing
of
that a person should know you know
things are not simple. And then he says
when a child starts speaking she should
speak to him about these and and and
only when you're going to be saved from
this only someone who busies himself
with so he is going to be able to be
saved from these types of difficulties
and that's what it is listen
is
not
who lived before the time period
if people would learn a little bit
and really understand it.
They wouldn't busy themselves so much
with they'd start getting down to the
good stuff. They got to get into the
important stuff in life. They wouldn't
busy themselves with this to that. If a
person really really understood what
Ganedin had to deliver to us so they
wouldn't um uh they wouldn't they
wouldn't busy themselves with these
types of things.
Um
the brings an interesting things. Listen
to this. It's a famous I said it one
time in a mish I'll just mention the
says that we have no
of onesh. We have no understanding of
what proper punishment is of the
we have no understanding of how serious
it is.
we'll be speaking hopefully quoting from
the who speaks in detail about the seven
levels of gem. Okay? And if you uh have
the seven levels of geom and understand
it a little bit
they only understood a little bit of
what real gem is like even though they
speak in detail about it.
Nobody really as much as we're going to
speak about what is like and what the
pain he says you should know it's only a
drop in the bucket. It's not he says an
ocean a drop in the ocean of what it
really is. It's incredibly painful,
difficult and not easy. Now listen to
this. There's a true story which I
mentioned once in the in I said in the
Monday where the vagon
learned together with his the all about
and what's in detail there and he said
this statement also about how serious it
is and you should know everything that
we're learning is a drop. It's going to
be 20 times worse. You don't know what
you're in for in gam. Oh boy, you're in
big trouble. Right? So when he finished
it says one of the Tommy there couldn't
handle it so much because you know once
upon a time people used to listen to the
Rebi and he heard him so hurt him that
he actually got sick in bed he got sick
proper sick he started getting you know
I don't know if he had nervous fans or
he was in bed he was mish
I don't know he got proper sick and he
was in bed so listen to this I think it
was worth it for him to get sick cuz he
got from guess who you know was who
visited the sick person the vagon the
vagon went to visit hit him. I think
it's worth getting sick to get the get
people home from the vagon. That's worth
it. Anyways, the vagon went to him and
said, I saw you're sick and I heard
about what happened and this because of
what I spoke about. I want to tell you
so obviously he has to appease him. I
want to tell you everything I said is
100% true. Okay. To the different
detail, right? Very nice appeal. Thank
you very much for your right. I want to
tell you I didn't exaggerate a kihuz.
Everything I said was was very true. But
then the vagon was nice enough to say to
add a certain appeasal. But he said but
that he says all the remembrances that
one has on that hashem has on what you
did wrong. If you have se difficulties
in this world, all the difficulties that
you go through in this world,
everything that every difficulty that a
person has from little to massive to big
goes and makes a very very big
calculation in the checklist over there
about about and what comes there
and a big amount goes away with it.
So he was nice to him. He did him a
favor and he said, "I know I told you
how bad Ghan is, but I'll tell you the
truth. You should know. Don't be so
uptight because things do get better
according to the sick. You're sick with
me right now. All your sickness, you're
helping." He's told me you're sick right
now. It's helping your in um in Shim and
hopefully you'll be
hopefully you'll be okay. I'm finishing
up right now.
Uh let me just mention one quick thing.
The malim says the the purpose of life
is death. The purpose of life is death.
Now again a would say it's
counterintuitive. Doesn't make any sense
of life is death. It's on
because only then is when you start
life. Only after death is when you start
real life. That's of course that's the
real.
So as long as you are alive you are what
we say a walking uh ticking clock.
You're ticking clock which is going
towards death. But you should prepare as
much say through your by learning to
means it's better to have a good name
upstairs is some your from eating
something good or you know feasting and
all these types of things instead of
worrying about feasting and taking care
of all your bodily and needs worry about
your shemto making sure your name is
good. It doesn't mean for other people
it means upstairs that you should have a
good name. This is an expression which
we'll be speaking about also later about
the idea that the world life is a bridge
for us. Life is a bridge for them. Life
is an end. Okay. And we're going to
speak about those also the hashkafik and
also the the the way it works lisa
through the way it works lisa. We're
also going to speak about the hashkuffic
part. But for them life is an end. For
us we understand life is a bridge. It
begins with birth and it ends with
death. Okay. It doesn't end. That's just
the beginning of the end. Okay. But life
is just a bridge bell. When you realize
it's a bridge, so a bridge doesn't
bother you so much. A bridge is only
there. You don't, no one lives on a
bridge. You go on a bridge is a means to
get somewhere else. That's what you have
to remember that the idea of the
bridges. And we all know the famous
song.
You know the song. Yeah. That's what it
means. The whole entire world is a
gisha. It's an appeasement. It's to make
us realize that the world is only a
bridge. It's temporary habitat.
It's not here to live. It's only here as
a means to an end to get us somewhere
else. There's a person of Tukachinsky
which I'll be quoting from in the
future. You know Tachinsky
this was nif about 60 years ago and he
wrote a sephair on aut person who wrote
a seph on aut and he named the sephair
gerim ger okay he was a big genius he
was you know together with the he was
from the he was from the he wasn't a
person wrote a book he called it ger
because it's a the bridge of life it's a
bridge of life is a ger that's all it is
it's ger Life is a bridge and you also
have to remember it's a temporary place.
It's not a permanent place and it ends
as they say when it ends. It just ends
when it ends. But that's it. But don't
think that that's the final final stop
because there are many stops. There are
many stops on the way when there is
afterwards a future. I will end there
was a few other but I'll end this one at
least till we start next time with
you would always say over they bring
this down and he would always say over
to his thesis with the debuk it's that
there was one of the you know what a
debuk is right a debuk is the uh a
possessed body a body that was possessed
by an isma like I said we'll speak about
it later satan
uh no it's not the satan I can't say
It's a satan something else.
1932.
Yeah. So 1932 right before the
there was a debuke. There was one they
say not so long ago either but
the removed a deboke. These are little
spirits that are walking around this
world and they're still here.
Anyways, so one time removed the deb and
the and his was there.
He said he saw it and he would always
give it over to his saying that this is
a very strong for us to know about these
things to learn about the and what it
is. And even more than that, I quote
quote you the way used to say
after I saw the he says
there's no reason that I'm going to
receive any
for my I'm not going to get any more
scar in I lost it. He says I lost all my
scarab because it's so obvious to me.
It's kind of the same scar that you
don't get for knowing that this table is
here. We all know a table's here. I
don't have to prove to you a table's
here. He said by him is so clear as day.
It's so pashoot and it was given to him
on a on a plate. It was spoonfed to him.
So he says I'm not going to get any more
scar anymore. Oh well, I lost all my
scar and all for he meant for my for my
level of amuna. I'm not going to get
anymore. Hopefully he'll get it for
other things. They say he was a good
guy, right?
was one of the for those who didn't
realize he was nif in the holocaust. He
was killed in the holocaust.
He was actually killed in Fort N
together with this. But you just see
this idea that the k of learning about
what a debuk is and learning it's not
just to learn mystics. We're not coming
to learn mysticism here even though
obviously it's interesting that's not
our old over here. Okay. There's a lot
more. It's brought in the gilgul also
there of also brings that there was also
in 1666 also a debuk that was removed
and he writes out the whole story of the
debuk there and he says I wrote it in
order to be
in order to be is to make us realize
there are you should realize there are
they are tant and they are around in the
world and they're still here and it's
very real stuff and for us we have to
know now we don't haveim so much but we
have like we said many many we'll speak
about in the future future futurum the
near-death experiences which is almost
the same okay and that's why we on
purpose want to speak about and get into
it to make us realize what it is these
are our words of our introduction but
next time we will speak a little bit of
the levels of what happens when a person
dies and the different levels of
punishment that a person receives okay
we're not getting into ganamy and all
that stuff that's coming later if you
guys have a little bit more skin to be
able to handle it okay right now we're
just going to speak about the beginning
part about what's the first stages after
a person loenu is nif.
