Because the story about the bravery of
the previous labavbe
when he was in prison and he was being
interrogated. He's in prison and the KGB
is trying to make him crack. And as I'm
sure all of us are aware, the KGB were
masters of psychological manipulation.
That was their entire expertise was was
how to crack people, how to intimidate
people. The story is that the previous
Reb was annoying them because he wasn't
rattling. So out of frustration, one of
the interrogators pulled out a gun and
he said condescendingly, "This little
toy has been known to make people talk."
So the previous Reb said, "This little
toy is effective on those who have one
world and many gods. But I have two
worlds and one God. Now, obviously, the
story in and of itself is an impressive
story and an inspiring story, but it's
also a very deep story. And I finally
saw where the Reb, previous Reb's
son-in-law and successor, actually
explains the depth of the story. He says
when the previous rabbi told the KGB
that I have two worlds and one God, he
wasn't saying, and this is the way it's
very easy to take the story. It's very
easy to take the story like, okay, well
buddy, kill me. I have two worlds. I'll
I'll leave this world or go to the other
world. He wasn't saying, "I have two
worlds." Meaning, well, I can always go
to heaven. That's not what it meant. The
Reb explains he was telling the
interrogator who by the way was
understandably from the context of the
story was a communist. The communists
were materialists. Marxism is
dialectical materialism. That's why he
believed that religion is the opiate of
the masses because he believed that
anything spiritual was a distraction
from the one truth which is the
allocation of material resources. So the
Fed KB is telling this materialist, this
communist, "You think I'm in your
prison? You think you're the boss and I
have to cower in fear of you? You don't
understand. You're looking at the tip of
the iceberg. You're looking at the
facade. You're not getting the big
picture here. In reality, I inhabit two
worlds." Now, if you kill me, I'll leave
one world and I'll go to the other
world. That's not what he meant. What
the previous Reban meant was even right
now this little interchange that's going
on is happening on two planes of reality
simultaneously. The physical one you are
privy to with your five senses and it
looks like you've got the upper hand,
but there's a spiritual parallel reality
going on concurrently which might I add
is an even richer, more involved, more
detailed reality than the physical one.
The physical one is really the most
superficial. It's the end of the line.
It's just a very thin veneer of of all
of reality. But there are two worlds
right now. He he didn't he didn't mean
I'm going to go from this world to
another world. He meant right now things
are happening on two planes. There's the
physical which is like I said the tip of
the iceberg and then there's the
spiritual which is the much greater
depth and they're happening right now at
this moment. Everything's happening in
two worlds. So here's the point I'm
trying to impress upon you. It's not
like people pass away and then they go
to another world. Everything we've ever
experienced, even while we're
experiencing embodiment, is also taking
place in the spiritual worlds. We just
don't pay attention to it. Because when
you are embodied, the physical stimuli
are so intense that it distracts us from
being sensitive to the spiritual reality
that we are currently inhabiting. We are
currently inhabiting more than one plane
of reality. But the spiritual becomes
covered up. It's like trying to hear a
speakerphone in the next room over while
there's a loud wild party going on in
this room. So the spiritual would be
like a speakerphone in the other room
and then the physical stimuli of this
world would be like the wild loud party
going on right here in this room. What
happens though when there's the
cessation of the function of the
physical body and it's no longer reading
five senses the five physical senses
seeing hearing smell taste touch. So now
it's like all that static, all that
distraction, all that noise is finally
canceled out and now the person's
consciousness is finally able to focus
on the spiritual stimuli that were being
covered up before. Hey, this is Shay
