Worms In the Grave (Afterlife #11)

Okay, we were finishing up last time the idea of Kev. That's where we ended up last time about the conclusion of what happens to a person in the grave. And I said, you know, I promised I feel bad to skip out about speaking about the worms that happens in the grave. I didn't want to miss out such a prime opportunity to speak about something so important. So, as a result of that, we said we would speak about I only meant in the beginning of the year. I didn't mean the whole sh but I think I scared off some people from coming back but we're going to speak at just the last after the what the idea of is okay now literally means worms or different types of worms if you will now what's the difference between okay first of all we have the we have two and where is this mention this idea two two first of all one says marbasar the more literally a person eats basar the more worms he gets in the grave Now that we'll explain later is not the literal translation. That's a bet if you want. And of course the famous which they read when a person is being uh taken to his grave. It says there are three things in order to do that. From where did you come from? You came from a little and where are you going? Thear says, I mean the says, where are you going? To a place of dirt and worms and you're going in the future soon. Okay, these are the two main places. There's one other place which is in Shabbat which I forgot to pencil in here. But basically the Gumar says the Gumar also says that a worm for a dead person is as difficult as a needle is to a live a person. Meaning as painful as it is to have needles punctured in your body in the wrong spots. I guess acupuncture doesn't seem to hurt but if you do it in the wrong spots it hurts at least right? So brema is the same stature as having a needle. These are the places where we find this idea of and I just wanted to speak out how this connects to our first of all let's start from the beginning the inhal our para this week actually he brings speaks out in when it talks about the it talks about the you know the fell from the sky the the food that fell from the sky the man it brings it people who left it over it had a re of it had a re of and he speaks out what's the difference between This the re and both mean worms. So what's the difference between this type of worm and that type of worm? So he says remma is an external worm meaning it's something that comes even though it's not necessarily putrid even though it hasn't gone off you could still end up getting a remma in your m or in your food right something external that can fly in from from outside. That's what a remma is. Or not necessarily fly. It could be crawling from outside but it's not doesn't necessarily come as opposed to to is a type of worm that comes from within the food from within the food. Meaning when a food gets bad when it goes off as we all know you could find little cute little worms crawling around inside of it coming inside of it like maggots like maggots or these types of things that come from that grow from the bacteria of the of the thing to me happened to you soup. Oh wow. and I came for a while and for a little bit too long back now this is based a little bit even though we know that it's been disproven if there's a million answers for this I'm not going to get into this but there's idea a little bit of spontaneous generation until about Madame Cury came around about 150 or so years ago 120 years ago so there was an idea of spontaneous generation that things grow from the food itself so it could be that's what he meant by to coming from the food growing from within the food we knew that that's also considered usually external internal bugs, external bugs. Okay, there are a number of there's about five, six different answers for that type of idea. It's not for now right now, but at least this is the idea of the difference between it's just a double word. So I just wanted to explain one's from external, one's internal, one's from within and one's from without. Okay, that's what the says that a person gets in the kev. Okay. Now the basically it's like this this a person gets from a right he gets it where there's a big difference between and okay do not receive the just like we said with when person gets pounded in the in the ke in the grave. We said there's a lower level for someone who's a sadik or it doesn't happen at all or very very minimally for a sadik for a good person as opposed to a rash who's the other extreme and there's everything in the middle right he gets it very very hard the worms is very similar to this idea it's on the same type of things for example the mats brings him dalid about the son of the one who sat with him in the cave that he actually was in an attic and he was he was not alive in the attic and he was there a long long time and nothing happened to his body. His body stayed fully intact. His body stayed fully intact. So we see this idea that it can happen brings they opened up his ke and they found his body completely and fully intact. There was nothing wrong to his body. So sometimes when people are bigim they don't get any type of that he doesn't get any type of of things that happens. Of course, there's also the famous that says uh kina someone who's a balina is that's what makes a person rot in the grave. When a person the more he's a balina the more of a jealous person he is then the more he ends up having rotten body meaning if you take it on a simple level then a person who doesn't is not a me someone who's not a jealous person ends up staying pretty intact in the grave. It was really a misa that they unburied a certain woman who whether she was religious or not wasn't so clear but they unburied a woman her body was fully intact and they asked of and they looked into it and they realized that this woman was more or less mute or she was a vegetable from the age of like 12 or 13 or 14 age sort of kvski said the reason why is because she was never mccana anybody she wasn't she didn't have the capabilities I guess to be ma anyone but because she didn't have this mea of kina to have it So that kept her body intact and not another thing. Okay. So that's just this first aspect of what we call what happens and there's a difference between sadikim and and get it much worse much more painful a lot more to the to the to the one um that goes to the to the detail. Let me let me just read you here. The mus is that that safer that I read to you from the first year already that nobody likes that he says he talks about but he says but a person who's he dies with a kiss from and therefore he doesn't get any worms. A person who dies with in the way like like a but you don't have to be on those levels some also get then he doesn't get why not why doesn't he get worms if he dies why doesn't he get worms if he died took him out in a very pleasant way what's the reason why because we've mentioned before that when a person dies the malik of it comes with his sword which has on the tip of it some poison has a little bit of tip and that's why We dump all the water that was in the room when a person dies. So the malikab is what causes the worms to come about because of the poison or the putridness that comes inside of the body from the sword of the malikab from the touch of the malikab. That's what causes the worms to come because he's contained with this poison that's within him. But if he dies hopefully in a way that's a positive nice pleasant way if we call it of dying in a positive way he never comes in touch with the and therefore as we say he's good to go. Okay. He doesn't end up getting the nothing nothing ends up happening to uh to him. That's really what the um that's really what the says is based on the zara says and therefore when he dies with the it seems to be okay okay that's what it says um he also brings down the in a different place in if he brings that the body is very ber very clear through the nama that's within it and therefore there's no uh recon no uh uh that no no rotting deterioration that occurs to uh to the body. Okay. Now, don't forget does write in he writes on that even if a person is a sad and he's a good guy and hopefully everything's don't get too comfortable. He says don't think you're too comfortable because it says to be in a you're still going to be in a place with worms. So, you're not going to one is not going to have any earthworms going through his ice hockey hopefully. But at the same time at the same time the he says they're going to be swimming around you. So at least a person should know that he's still in a place of uh of of thing and therefore it's important reason to do ch I want to read to you in par says a beautiful to explain the in it talks about the the good things that happened to us and then afterwards the the bad things that happened to us as a result of being good or bad and he says he brings down you know talks about and I'm going to give you get a lot of food, all these nice things. And then but what's interesting and some people ask is this is it doesn't talk about a word about why isn't it talking about the next world if we're talking about being good and we are Jewish and we believe in the next world. So why does it say one world but the next world? So there's different answers. The orim says it does talk about the next world. He says it really does talk about the next world. What's going to be the next world? What does it say? It says shalom. What does it mean shalom? So listen what he says over here. I purpose wanted to read it because he just says um the of hem is shalom and the time that it dies. So comes up to him and he and he gives him he dies from the kiss of what does that mean? So he says when a person dies the thing that scares everybody of course that's why some people are scared to come to the sh because everybody that has that bitterness within him and he doesn't know when the day is going to be he's comfortable here and then he has to remember and it takes away from and he doesn't know how long when is the day of his death when's it going to be what day he doesn't know and it's leaves him as they say in the dark, right? In the dark. Just like one of the mak in this week's para. It leaves him in the dark. He doesn't know. So therefore gives him promises for a person who does what he's supposed to be doing. He learns he tries to make a sedor. He tries to do the he tries to keep everything that he needs to keep. And these are the promises that he gives. And he says like this shalom, he will have peacem when he goes to die. Is from going to sleep. But that's what most people think. you'll be resting resting. Okay. But over here he's referring to resting in peace, right? As they say, right? It's referring to when a person goes to the grave. He says, "What's the This is something we spoke about. When the feels the light getting closer to him, when he feels that much closer, he feels a warmth." He says it we spoke about the near-death experiences. Yeah. He wants to get to that light. He wants to get closer. He wants to find himself connected to that warmth of the light that's over there. And because of this enjoyment, because of what? He's so interested in being there. He has an interest to get closer and closer to this light, to get closer to this. And he doesn't feel any pain. He enjoys it. It's enjoyable. He wants to get closer and closer. He almost as we say voluntarily dies but as we know he's not committing suicide but then obviously is interested in getting closer and closer and that's what he says when it means you lying down when a person goes to sleep when this goes and means and he's not afraid. So simply we sing you go to sleep when you read it means the person goes to sleep and he's not afraid of all the enemies that are going to attack him says speaks a little bit more esoteric in the world of he says the idea is when he goes to the to death he's not afraid nothing is going to scare him who's the is the angel of death the angel of death is the one who's the fearful one he's the one that gives us fear like I just spoke out he's the one with the sword and the poison on the end that puts an end to our life and he says he's not afraid of the Malikab. We spoke this out during the near-death experiences that a person who's very connected, who's good, he doesn't have the fear, he dies in much more of a of a complacency. He's much more complacent. But some people are afraid because of the sicknesses etc. and he promises them and that's what these are coming to tell us things are going to be okay. And here we go to what's connected to us shalom. He says because a person is made up of all the elements. We're made up of different elements. We know we're made up of earth, water, etc. We're made up of all the elements. And he says a person when he dies, he goes and all the elements go back to the earth. That's why we're called Adam. A person is called Adam from Adam, right? We're called adama because we come from the physical earth. That's what we come from. Adam is why it's called like that. And when and that's why Adam is to go back to where you came from. You have to go back to your sources. And when a person goes back, he decomposes and becomes part of the elements. He goes back to where he came from. So that's the of the sh. No. So he says the shalom will be that when that happens, you're right. You'll have a certain of going back there. But even when that happens and you won't have to be afraid. What are you afraid of? What we're speaking about today? When a person has when he has the worms going within his body, he's scared. It makes him fear. It's painful. We said the gar says it hurts. It's painful. But if he's at sadik, if he does things right, then he won't have any problems. And he brings who I quoted you before and he says, and he's relaxed and everything will be fine. And even though it says he says what that means is from the fear and from the pain and from how much it hurts. And he says everybody feels it only according to the level of what you deserve. A person who's a real a bad guy is going to feel it very hard. A person's in the middle a little bit. A person sadik doesn't feel it. Everybody according to and he contin I'm finishing one second. You want to ask something? can also give you another there will be no bad animals in the area simply speaking that the Arabs will stop doing their craziness right that's that's a simple understanding no more no more no more crazy animals around us that's a simple understanding says the it's referring to a continuation of what he said before and he it's referring to the that it will take away from the that will come away because we will be on such a high that it will take away from the thing. And that's what he says and this I'm finishing and a sword will not pass within the land. What does he mean? Because the the sword is referring to who? The sword of the of the angel of death. The angel of death carries a sword with a poison tip which we spoke about before which leads to these worms which I mentioned you before. And if a person dies if he doesn't get that or he doesn't get this sword of this poison tip when a person dies and we know we we spoke out and we said we saw experiences of people who when they die they saw things and were scared and they were fearful because maybe we never judge a person what level he was but it came from a certain level of being able to see the malik of it. So if a person is on a certain level, you will not receive that that poison tip sword and as a result of that there won't be any that's what he says at the end. He says he won't be able to touch him and he'll die straight with a connection to Hashem. Hashem will pull out his nish and that's the way he dies in a very very uh very type of way like that. You want no clear if if uh there's such a thing as rem that doesn't that doesn't hurt. Yeah, because there's an idea of the Adam person goes back. That's right. He always goes back to the offer and how much he decomposes a little bit depends on his level of but is there also decomposition that doesn't hurt. Uh yeah. No, the decomposition doesn't necessarily as much have to hurt. Yeah. The is the extra worms and more and this or whatever that that that's what causes the pain. It's the way it's the way it's done. In other words, decomposition itself isn't isn't the problem necessarily necessarily. No, not necessarily. And the big sadikim don't get any decomposition because they're on the higher level. But middle class people like us, right? Probably that will happen most likely. I venture to say, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you necessarily have to have the doesn't mean that has to happen. Okay. Like I said, the muk is a but he says there's a exactly how many worms a person's going to have when he's in the ke. You should know. That's why it says marbar. So what it means when we say this is says over there more meat means more uh more thing more worms it's a little bit base basic right because you eat a lot so you're big fat so now you're going to have a lot of uh a lot of worms it's not this simple what it means by eating meat is the more you are immersed or immersed rather in maz in this world the more you busy yourself with the extras and all the extra things and you focus on this world and how much extras there is in this worldar is also a representation of over overdoing yourself over being over gluttonous and not not necessarily with food with everything with every with every lust. So such a person is he gets more which is what we spoke at is to the number of how much a person is obsessed with this world as opposed to thinking for the future that's the person who's going to eat it as they say yeah they got to get it right you want to say something is there any other things that say like like you hear these about some people they see like there like and this kind of things yeah well first of all that a little bit The BA talks about different things. We did speak about that one time. I don't remember if you were here. We're speaking about different things that people might see or how they their experiences when they die. Depends on what level of a person what they are. But you mean at the time of death. You mean know when they get buried besides works and things like things that are in there? Uh um I don't know. So in the I don't know. If you saw I could check things that you read. That specific in the I don't remember. I know bashhat there's such a thing at the time of death but in the time he had this thing like there was a shah I think he was selling trade meat and they were trying to bury this guy and then every time he went there was full of rats and things and he just said just throw him in there like they kept digging the a different place and they couldn't find it. Yeah. And he said that's what he like well if you can find me that source be interesting. I don't remember seeing I I didn't know if there's like I've heard different like about like here the like there was some guy I can't remember what he was doing and they did the same thing they were digging up and there kept being one that was in the hole when they would finish digging. Uhhuh. Very good. He said finally like after the third time just throw them in. Yeah, I understand. I hear anything. Okay, I hear. No, I didn't know if there was anything that talks about bleed out. I'll check. I know how to check. I don't remember seeing anything, but if you have a source for me, I'd be very interested to see it. It sounds very good. It's very connected. No, it's very good. I'd be interested to see. Anyways, let me just finish with two small when it comes to this ideas on the it's a confusing. I'm not I'm not going to read the whole P, but he basically says we are made up of four parts. Now this is a little bit of a kabali subject but he kind of brings it in a very simple way that we're made up of skin meat bones and in between is gimm is senus I think sineu is the right word right we're made up of four parts right skin the me the flesh is the basar the gimm is the senus and then the bones we're made up of four levels which is really like I said it's two have three layers of skin if you're getting details you have the epidermis and inside yeah for sure there's more than that but we're going I'm I'm staying simple right for for simple people But anyways that it happens to be a very kabali subject because in inab also there's three levels and four levels of how thick thick things are. Okay that is also the there are different levels of your lowest level the outside the skin is the nephesh which is the which is something similar to our physical thing. The ru is in the middle is the basar. The meat is the ru is in between. The n is already deeper. It's always deeper. It's the senus. And the highest is the bones. And that's why the bones usually stay intact. Okay? It has inside of it a mo is the calcium the the marrow the marrow of the bone. And that usually stays intact because it's connected and which is the super high part of our nama. Those are the highest parts of our nama. And he brings out there, let me just one second. And he brings out that when a person goes to the kever all these things slowly decompose okay it goes disappears first the skin and then the meat and he said the the buser and then afterwards the senus and then eventually to a certain extent the bones also have a certain amount of disintegration he goes through the process which we spoke about in the past I'm not getting into that but at the same time he brings and that's the den that that comes on him okay that's the den that comes on him during uh this time it's the same idea that he brings from the that actually makes his Decompose. Decompose. Okay. All right. That's what it is. We're just going to finish this subject before we move on to the next with one which I think which we spoke about a little bit and I did I was waiting for here just to mention one thing. We mentioned that even after a person's dead ever to think that he's just a body. There's no such thing as just a body. Even after a person's not alive anymore, there is a bit of the nishama that's left. The hava degarm we mentioned. You remember that? The hava degarmi is the spirit within the the bones within a person meaning a person which stays with him to a certain extent forever. Now again with proper and probably they're usually disconnected. Yeah that's a lo right. Very good. Right. The lose bone that's a little bit of a different idea. We we come back in the resurrection of the dead which we want to speak about hopefully one day that we speak about I'm waiting for it but um at this rate it's going to be by already by the resurrection but uh but uh the in the resurrection we have this bone which you're talking about but also comes from the spirit that remains within a body we brought many riot many proofs that's why a person do by ke by a grave because we still hold that there's some type of spirit that remains by the person of course is in the sh the higher higher levels are all upstairs. They're already in which we're going to speak about coming soon and all these nice things. There's a little bit of a nephesh that still remains. And if you remember, we spoke about three or four different ideas about this nephesh that remains by the body. Okay? Now, that is relevant for what we're talking about today because we also have a problem here over here. We're saying that the nephesh that the the body gets hurt by both by by worms within the body that goes with contain it. Now, take that to some scientists and think you're loony, right? worms and dead body doesn't feel anything. What are you crazy? But based on what we're saying, the idea is this because there's still a little bit of the the rsh the rashima the nephesh that's left over in the body to a small extent. There's a little bit of the nephesh within the body that remains to a certain extent and that itself gives over a certain type of pain that a person that a person feels. You understand? That's what it says in the it says like this. A person's flesh hurts and his nephesh on him will have autis hurts, his meat hurts, his body hurts and his nephesh is sitting autourning over his body. It doesn't make so much 100% sense. But the idea is because the nephesh is still connected to the body a little bit and it feels the pain of what's going on. Which means that not the physical body per se scientifically speaking will be in pain but this nephesh that still remained on the body that still has some connection still to the body that itself still still feels a little bit of an anguish of a pain of what happens and a beautiful okay we quoted before it is difficult a worm to a dead person like a needle in a live person but do you hear the words it says Remma is difficult to a dead person. It says just a dead person. But when it talks about the live person, it says like a needle to a buser to the meat the fle the flesh of the person. It doesn't say to the buser of the met. When it talks about the dead person, it doesn't say buser met. Says met just the word met. When it talks about the live person, it says buser met the flesh of the uh the the flesh of the live person. You understand? You follow what I just said? The flesh of the live person. And by the dead person, it doesn't say the word flesh. It just says dead the dead person because by a live person when a person gets pricricked it hurts it's painful over here it hurts sends a message up through the nervous system up to the brain and it's painful you feel the pain as opposed to by a dead person it's not the flesh the the body itself that feels the pain right rather it's the nephesh that is around it that feels the anguish of the fact that it has these worms going all over its body coming out from one socket and in the other you understand that's where the pain that's where the pain is uh is obsessive. That's an answer for what they ask the over there and others ask in that they ask how can it be that a person feels pain when he's dead. It doesn't make sense. But this is a beautiful answer. This is the direction that the says this word I'm going to one second in the body within the body says those words in the in the body certainly feels a certain type of pain a certain type of pain like that and that's why a person feels this minimal type of pain that we understand and this I'm finishing this I'll take your questions the rashba asks in chuba someone asked him a question they said they wanted The rash again is a rish that's what means this chuba was written in the 1200s the late 1200s early 1300s more more specifically and it was asked that they wanted to take a body to with his fathers he wanted to be buried with his family okay now back then al didn't make it okay they still been around they had other planes but they didn't have al still so they had to know and figure out how to take him was a long trip a couple weeks at least I don't know if it was bomb you're saying it could have been a different plane right yeah I don't know if it was it could I'm not sure if it was there was Israel Kadesh. I think it was to be keav. I think it was to be. He want to be buried with his family in a different city. Okay. But it was a two week trip. Which country was I really don't know. I maybe it says there pay attention. But they didn't know how to get him there. So he said what you can do and this is a big head. He allowed them to put some type of sid like a potion ointment which will decompose the body faster within a day. within 24 hours they'll be completely decomposed which is not so pretty but the reason why they did is because if they travel this 2 weeks within 3 4 days going not smell so nice it's not going to be pretty it's not very nice our father it's said you know someone we care about and they it wasn't so pleasant so they'd rather do it this way and it's more it's more uh more uh more uh more nice it's more more appropriate so he did I would when I read the question I said now this is an easy one I know exactly what the rash was going to say he's going to say it's g I was probably say he said it was mut he said it's 100% okay he said there's not a problem to do it. And he says in order yeah it says to be he says this word because he said the buser the flesh of the person doesn't feel it said he doesn't feel this pain. So everybody says what do you mean it feels worms? So some people say only worms but the idea no the says what we just said that he feels a pain when he sees worms get in his body and because of his punishments is all his bad things that he did and now I see all these all over the place. Oh, it's so depressing and all because of all my bad actions and it hurts the nephesh. It hurts it. But to decompose his body in order to bury him in a good place or for good reasons or for his benefit to do it for his benefit that the says based on this rash the rashish says is permissible. It's permissible because if it's for the sake of something positive so then it's totally okay. The for brings us also in sim shins and gimmel. Okay. Right. So we see based on all this idea that even though we're talking about pain, it's not physical pain. It's a pain. It's a more of a spiritual plane which comes which is similar to what we spoke about when we talk about the the the body in the grave that gets beaten back and forth. It's more of a physical not necessarily a physical pain but more of a spiritual plane which the nephesh is related to. And that's the end of that nud you want to ask. I have two questions. Question just one this time. Huh? I have a lot of questions but how about one? Yeah. Afterwards you want when you go to sleep Mhm. Obviously somehow there's a death over there that what West and the Bones must right that's a good question. So we spoke a few shim ago we mentioned that see it's like I mentioned before there's a nama and nephesh and I'm saying words in Hebrew they don't have such good English translations nama is the higher spirit the ru is the interconnection and the nephesh is the lower spirit. Okay, you follow what I'm saying? It's a long it's a long explanation, but every animal has an eff that's why it's alive. We all share something with animals that we're all alive. But we have something above them that's called which is a higher spirit which an animal doesn't have. You follow you know what I'm saying? Like something higher above and we have something interconnecting which is the ru like a neck connects your head to your body. So the ru connects the two together. You follow what I'm saying so far? Okay. So when a person sleeps only the higher spirit goes up the nish your wak and your nephesh stays with your body you're still alive you're still breathing things are still good you don't have to have any other type of thing because it's only this higher spirit which is hovering let's say over your body that's what goes upstairs you understand that goes up for a little while but when a person dies so then even the lower part goes up so that's why his body's not functioning I had a experience where something went up and I was looking uh what went up on West. You had that experience long time ago. Yeah. You were you were sick or something or something. Fine. Okay. So, speaking about we had a two sharim two classes just a while ago. We spoke about people who get those experiences. Just once I tried to bring it back, don't try to bring it back again. That sounds dangerous. No, that happens to people who something happens to them like uh you know dehydrated or this or something that but you saw your body underneath you and stuff like that. I felt it. I didn't see I was so that's where it comes from. It comes from this idea. Yeah. If you will I'll show you the old sh in the past. You'll see we described exactly what you're talking about in detail. Okay. Yeah. What's the time period of this? How long does it take? It sounds like it happens pretty soon right afterwards. It even says within 3 days it can happen within 3 days after yeah that's what I'm saying it depends on the and the but they usually brings it happens within the same uh same time period I don't know if it's together with or right afterwards it's very unclear how it is but it's brought to get like it's brought in the same uh in in that it probably talks about the it talks about the the things is when a person gets moved around in the grave when it happens so or it happens simultaneously or directly right afterwards it seems to be in the earlier periods of of that it's not just stomach decompos. No, it's not because even good people can get decomposed. You have to be a big not to get decomposed or mentioning to him you know not everyone's mosh or theikim then even the nim or whatever the certain cases that doesn't happen they have the mah with the when they brought the his body was intact you know and they moved the from wherever he was I don't remember where he was but they brought him here to he's buried here is more was involved so the body was 100% intact okay not everyone's I'm saying he's going to the one thing is they say dust and the dust will return that's right 100% So how come it if if you didn't buy the worms may not dust you didn't buy the dust the worms are also part of the dust they're part of the dust it goes to the dust they're also there what about the reverse process so inbombing rather than the city okay inbombing is not something that's a Jewish thing now I know by Jacob a knew it was done and a lot of people ask the question that was but we're not so into inbombing what Ysef also yakov I know over there it was and people say if it was a real inbombing but inbombing is not necessarily always something that we try to uh that we necessarily Do there's a big question in when you're allowed to, when you're supposed to, when you're not. But we do there is an interest in the body being decomposed. Meaning if you deserve to be decomposed, get decomposed because that's your tikun. That's how you're going to fix yourself up. And if you're not doing now again, Yakov wasn't going to be decomposed anyways. It says Yakov met even. He was didn't even die. Whatever that means. You follow? So um so I'm just saying if a person's meant to be decomposed, that's part of his way of getting to Ganed. And that's why we don't try to embomb. We don't do that. What happened in cold climates that I mean the body would stay frozen? I mean in Siberia of course it's going to stay frozen almost he stays in the snow all the time. Yeah cuz in the snow you're saying like but I guess in in Northern Europe it's still probably thaw Yeah. There's some people who don't their bodies don't decompose. I'm not saying it's not a good thing to do it. There's some people I know one person I know he he lived what he what he preached. Walt Disney. Walt Disney was very my pity. He wanted to keep himself frozen. He did not want his body decomposed. This is the man of cartoons, right? He was the man who wanted to live forever. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about himself. Mickey Mouse is still around, but he's not around. So, what do you do? He's very mind. He wanted to be frozen to keep me around until they figure out the way to bring people back to life. He's still he's still frozen somewhere in some things. So, is that cryogenics? Cryogenics. Cryogenics. Cryogenics. So again, that's what these people try to live and we we don't believe in this. We owe that to you to go back. You need to be decomposed and because we know that you're coming back, which is mish, the subject I'm speak about this second. That's what I wanted to speak about today really. But since we know come back, we're not scared of it. It's okay. It's good to be decomposed and you come back. That's our further as we get decomposed and you come back. Yeah. You want to ask something? No. How about just one and we're going to continue. Okay. If you faster is not like is that bad? Yeah, it's good. No. Yeah, it gets you there faster. Yeah, you shouldn't take shortcuts. I don't recommend the shortcuts, but the Rasha seemed to say in this case it was okay. Everyone. Yeah. No, in this case it was necessary. We don't need to do it anymore. Nowadays, a person wants to go to show within days there. The two days, right? I tell you, it was a two week trip over here. It was a very serious thing. Let me I really wanted to speak at least an introduction today to Ganham and Ghana. Okay. The last subject close to the last subject on this whole sub on this whole uh an enterprise that we're speaking about here is the next world which is a ganim the purgatory I think the proper English word is right and ganed which is I hate this word paradise there must be a better word right there's a better word no ganed the garden of Eden okay we know what is the next world there's a special in the next world of of what the person is going to to have so let give a little words of at least introduction to before we start this subject. This introduction will take at least another she maybe even two but I feel it's very important because it's the fundamentals of everything we're speaking about here. So I feel like I uh it's necessary to speak these things out in order to give us a better understanding and now most people here I'm not so worried. I know you all believe in and gam and all these things. So I don't have to convince you but at least I want to make you feel it a and b for people in the camera who might not be here then they should be able to hear a little bit about uh a few interesting ideas here which need to be done okay we all know that life begins and ends from death and birth okay from birth and death we start in our mother's stomach for a good nine months crunched up in a little ball right our our our head is in our ankles and there's reasons for that by the way it's not coincidental I'll peekab there's an idea of The head being by the bottom of your body, right? When you start before you open up into a thing, you're fed by your navl. You're fed by your navl through your belly button as they call it. That's how you survive. That is not really life. That's just a passive life. That's something that happened automatically. Death also is something that happens to everybody and it's something that happens. Real life is what we call the bridge in the middle. What's known as the gerim that's why he named this fork named for the bridge of life, right? Maybe some of us familiar with the song. The whole world is a very narrow bridge. What that means is it's a bridge that's very short. There's not much place to turn left and right. But we are in a bridge. And that's the way that's the way we live. We understand that it's a that we are only in a bridge, not an end. This place is not a place as an end in itself, but it's a place that's a connecting point between a beginning and an end. It's a bridge which connects us between a start and a finish. And that is life. Why is that life? Because over here it's up to us. Over here it's up to us. Who you're going to be born to, where you're going to be born, and how you're going to look is not up to you. That's as we all know the chromosomes that you were given. That's automatic. Real life is only when decisions are made. When your own personal decisions are made, when you decide what to do and how you decide to lead and how you decide to lead your life. So I want to expand on this issue. We have seven minutes. Yeah. I'll take seven or eight minutes just to be able to to just bring this out. The famous mashal, but I'm just going to extend this mashall a little bit. Some of us might be familiar with it, some of not. That uh a person who is in his mother's stomach, he's there for quite a long time. 9 months could be extremely long time. Okay? Compared to 80 years, it's not so long. But when a person's in there for 9 months and you're bored out of your mind, you have nothing to do there, right? Just takes a long time till a person finally finds himself. is completely a very slow slow process till he becomes out. So here we have a picture and this is brought this is an idea that's brought in already by the rabbis they bring this idea but again I'm expanding on it a little bit and uh it's the idea of two twins who are in a baby who are in a mother's stomach. two twins. One of the twins, one of the boys, he's a very rational guy. He's very advanced, very intelligent. He's much more rational and the other one he's much more into, you know, the tradition as the word goes, right? He's much more into tradition, a little bit more if you want to call it primitive or how it is. And here we have a discussion between these two boys that are happening. The rational boy is telling him, you know, bro, this is it and this is all there is to it. We're here for however long we're here. And when we leave, that's all there is. There's nothing else after this world. It's pretty depressing. But what can we do? We got to make the most out of it. At least we're comfortable here in this embryionic sack. We're very warm. There's fluid all over us. We get fed straight to our stomachs. We don't even have to chew. Things are great here. It's very comfortable. And we get to uh we get to enjoy ourselves as it is. That's the first that's the first uh that's the first brother. The other brother who will call him the M. the one who believes, he says, "That's not true. You should know even after we leave mommy's stomach, we're still going to be around. We're still going to be alive and things are still going to be things are still going to be good." So the rational guy looks at him like he's fill off and something's wrong. That's physically impossible. You know, when we leave the stomach, there is no more of our navl. Our navl is not here. This embryionic sack that's around us that's protecting us from the elements is not around. We can't physically live outside. Don't you know that? What are you a fool? Right? Are you an idiot? Of course, you can't live when you leave outside. We can't. And we all know that's what happens when a person's born. It's one of the most miraculous events that occurs. I don't know any doctor who's involved in in birth cannot be a complete absolute everything that was closed opens. Everything that was open closes, right? Your mouth that's why that's why the baby cries because it was sucked in and the navl gets closed up automatically. Everything that happened everything just does a complete switcheroo within seconds as we all know. That's why it's such an important thing that everything should be okay within seconds. And he says it's physically impossible. And you know, the other brother says, you know, you're right. I agree. I don't know how it's going to work. You know, he he's not he's not a doctor yet. Maybe soon he'll be if his mother's happy, right? Eventually I might get there, but right now I don't know how it's going to work, but I have a cabal. We have a tradition that it's true that even after we leave mommy stomach, there's still a beautiful world out there with oceans and rivers and trees and birds. There's a beautiful world out there that even beyond this little world, this world that seems so comfortable, but it's even we'll be standing up on our legs. What in your legs, we'll be able to walk around and do things and be able to be much more free. Now, bet I know you guys know the real answer to the question, but if you were in the stomach, who would you vote for? I think I would vote with the rational guy. It makes a lot more sense. It doesn't make any sense. The rational guy makes as a lot of reason to what he's saying. Okay? Until, of course, the big day happens. 9 months has come. It's time for the birth. And guess who's the first one out? The bakar is the m the Jewish one if you want to call him. The one who believes in tradition. He's the one who comes out and finally he comes out of the mother's stomach. And as we all know, the person the brother inside says, "What an idiot." It's because he believed he didn't pulled himself in the stomach. He thinks that there's something else. So he didn't he kept him pushed himself out and he let himself go out. What a jerk. He's so stupid. I'm so mad at him. Now I'm all here by myself and I have nothing to do. He's dead. And he would tear Ka, but he doesn't have any clothes. He's naked. So he can't tear Ka. But he at least says that that's that's what happens. And at the same simultaneous with the words of this little brother who's sitting inside of his mother's stomach, of course, the beckin calls of the words mazaltov. Mazalto, it's a boy is standing out outside, right? The words mazalto mazaltov is outside and this little boy who has now been born to his mother has just found himself into a brand new world. This conversation is the exact same conversation that we shall hear from two elderly people who are sitting in a retirement hotel in an old age home. They have the same exact thing when they're in the middle of playing their bingo and one's on the person getting his last number and the other one not. They're busy saying, you know, this is it, buddy. Bingo. And that's it. And bingo. It's all gone. Your numbers up. There's no there's no answer to this. We're not going very much farther than this. This is the way it is. We've been here 70, 80, 90, 100 years hopefully, right? We've been here. We've got we we had our share. Big, nice, beautiful world. There's nothing more to what meets the eyes. And you know what? We've been around the planet. We've been able to get satellites out. We have telescopes. We're able to see what's out in the galaxies. There's nothing out there. It's all gone. And the famous words of Yon Gre Gregarian, what's his name? Greg, the that first cosminaut, that Russian cosminot that went around, he said, "I was up there." He was the first one that circled the world. The Americans were the first one to land on the moon, but he was the first one to get into space. This dude, I forgot his name. Ian Gregarian, something like that, right? Gregarian, something like that in the ' 50s. Anyways, when he went out there, he said that I was up there. I've been in the galaxy and I saw there is no God. That's what he said. A good like a good Russian, you know. He said, "I've been there. I've seen. I've been proven that there's nothing outside of the atmosphere. We've been outside in the universe in the atmosphere and there's nothing around." Okay? And that's what one old person says to the other. And the other one says, "Look, I don't know how we're going to survive there. You're right. Our body is going to be in the grave, and I don't know exactly what it means that we'll be in the next world, but we have a cabala. We have a tradition that there is something over and beyond. We're not here just as to live temporary life. We live in a ger a bridge of life. We live in a gerim. We're here for a future. And we know that there's something over and beyond. And that's what happens. And it's in my opinion if I just mentioned parenthetically. It almost doesn't make sense that people could be so limited to see if you don't see it then they can't believe it. Because until a couple hundred years ago, people didn't believe okay 500 years ago people didn't believe there was anything beyond our flat earth. Right? when you go and you fall off the end, you fall off the end of the universe. That's it. There was an earth and you fall off somewhere. You know, Christopher Columbus says flies in somewhere, right? Until we found that there was a circular earth. And not only that, we've discovered in the past few hundred years that there are planets, nine planets. Okay? So, we know there's a solar system that exists. So, besides, something we didn't know about before, but now we know exists. But there's nothing beyond a solar system. And then suddenly we found the solar system, the nine planets, that's that's that's Plato. That's nothing. those millions and millions of miles to get to Pluto to the farthest pardon the pun right to get to the farthest planet which we thought was wow a long time that's that's it's nothing it's eff to get to the end of our galaxy the milky way you have to travel 282,000 m per second that means in 1 second I travel around the world six times if I go in the speed of light you can travel around the world six times in one second not hour not minute 1 second to get to the end of the galaxy of the Milky Way, you have to travel 120,000 years to get to the out at the speed of light. This is absolutely ridiculous numbers. It makes your mind kind of it's like you start fizzling, right? Like like the smoke starts coming out of ears when you try to think of these numbers. Doesn't make any sense. And that's okay. We always understood there was the Milky Way, the galaxy. And ever since the 30s and the 40s with the Hubble telescope, we're able to see that not only that, our our galaxy is one of the smallest galaxies. There are tens and probably hundreds of galaxies which we haven't discovered yet which is a humongous universe which is not fathomable the numbers that we can't we can't even predict what it is and that exists and suddenly we see there's a lot more than what meets the eye. Okay, we finally discovered, you know what? Maybe us little people that we thought we are the world, right? We are everything. We thought we grew up as we are. We're not even a speck of sand. I would even say we're a speck of sand. We're not even a speck of sand in the universe, right? A speck of sand is some we're one of us is is almost eff when we talk about physically. In the spiritual world, I'm talking that's a different story. So, we're so little and how much we've discovered how much more there is to the world. It's a crazy thing when a person wants to go ahead and say who says there's another world beyond this. It's absolutely it's almost it's almost ridiculous. Now in the world of Kabala this is only in the world of there's four worlds in the world of Kabala. That's the world of doing is a world we live in. If you look at the the is about this big then there's three other worlds which of course I'm not speaking about now but there's which is the highest world bria and which are three worlds are above it. That mean the all of Assa is about this big compared to the world of which is humongous and Bria is even bigger and and andah each world is bigger than the other. You understand? So we're dealing with an amount that we can't fathom and that's fine. You don't have to fathom it. You just have to believe. You just have to know that there is such an existent. But if a person would do this with this I'm finishing by the way. That's it. I'm just going to finish. Then you'd realize that there is a lot more to this world and it would change the whole gisha of a person in this world. Instead of thinking that I'm living for what I am in front of me right now, for whatever exists as a result of of this second, okay, a person will realize that no, I'm leading towards something. It gives me a purpose, gives me a yad, there's a direction, there's an aim, there's somewhere I'm going to, you understand? When a person realizes though, it leads to much more of a positive appreciation for life and something that I need to do. We have something called Kev. Harat Kev, I'm not asking for any pledges right now. That's all I'm asking. Harat Kev are direct debits. when uh you you know you put something every month into the bank. You you give your sh money every month into the bank. I didn't say your sh right you give every money into the bank which is a kind of giving over every month a little bit. I give a little bit. I give a little bit. I give a little bit. That's what's happening with life. Life is every year, every minute. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. I'm slowly giving over 170th of my life. One more 70th of my life. One I'll say 80th. It'll be nice. Okay. When a more 80th of my life, one more 80th, a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more is giving over and giving over. If we see it like that, then it's a little bit depressing. I I I still trying to figure out why people celebrate birthdays. Birthday is another year that I'm that much closer to the grave. That's not so exciting. What's what's the big deal? I don't say why why should I celebrate that? But rather, if you realize that there's a purpose of where I'm going, if you realize that I'm here as a means to an end, I'm there to get to somewhere. So then I'm only counting towards something, that's fantastic. like sphere. I'm counting 1 2 3. I can't wait. I'm waiting to get there. That's so exciting. Now, I'm not recommending to take a jump and get there fast. No shortcuts. That's not what I'm trying to do. But at least the idea of that I'm aiming towards getting towards a certain place. There's a purpose of why I'm here. Every year, that's the reason celebrated his birthday. You know that he made a he made a a calculation of what did I do this year? How did I accomplish? I got one year closer towards my gra. But how did I accomp I advanced this much of my life? If I graduated first grade, I'm in second grade. I graduated one more. We're always trying to look to to do that advancement. When a person changes his perspective of what life is when you realize we're living in a bridge in a gesture, so it changes his whole perspective of uh of of everything about that'll end with a joke of the the old couple that came to that. Did I mention this one? I don't remember the old couple that came up to they came up to the next world. Both of the wife and the husband, they came to the next world and uh and they were saying, "Wow, it's beautiful up here. This is fantastic and they're so happy." So the old man tapped his wife on the shoulder and he said, "If it wasn't for all your healthy food and all your exercise, we would have been here years ago. We would have been what's the problem? Could have been here so long ago." That's what it is. But there's a certain idea behind that idea. We could have been homeless. All right, we'll speak about it next time. Next time, this introduction is not finished. We'll continue next time.
