Women's Class - Parshas Va'era

you turned off the heat on both sides Jr you turn the heat to both both outlets thank you good morning everybody and welcome we're good we're good okay thank you for coming if I could just ask of you to put your cell phones on vibrate or awfully would appreciate it very much if you can do it in the beginning of the class thank you Elena ma han-shan the Elba daughter it's gonna get very cool watch what you asked for there's a famous pasta in Paris who kazooie cetera Adam Adam Kiowas boil which is interpreted often homolytically that toy is compared to a person Zoe Satara Adam in fact the pasta converation says s safer told us Adam the story of Adam the story of the human being is also called a safer a book and it includes not only a book but the book of books as we call it a safer as forum the book of books is also told us other miss compared to a person or to put it in different words the human organism the Adam is a microcosm of Tyra and the Tyra is a reflection of Adam they both mirror each other and the comparison exists on many many levels one of them is and it can truly be appreciated uniquely in our generation since the 1950s when DNA has been discovered until that point even the greatest biologists and scientists did not appreciate the extraordinary complexity of the structure behind a living organism any living organism including the human organism with DNA a world was opened up not a world not one world but many worlds and one of its unique properties and qualities and characteristics which you can research on your own further but I want to bring out this one point is a human body is comprised of approximately 37 trillion cells and please remember the number trillion that's not 37 cells which would also be nice it's not 3,700 cells not 37,000 cells not 370 thousand cells or 37 million or billion cells that's not the numbers we're talking about we're talking about 37 trillion cells maybe even more and that's even the tiny body the tiny organism of a person of a baby a child and each one of those cells each one of those cells has what we call the DNA structure or the genome which basically each cell has a double copy of a program you could call DNA which contains in simple English the instructions for the entire organism each one of the 37 trillion cells has a double copy of what you may call a program code a scroll if you would actually take the DNA in a cell and compare it to a scroll and spread it out like a megillah' to read if you would be able to unravel it and read it as a scroll it would fill the height of the Empire State Building three times understand what I'm saying this is one cell from the 37 trillion cells and it's a program it's written like a computer program I mean the computer program pales in comparison to this program but in this sense it's all information and it's Morgan eyes because if one it's basically made up of what seems like four letters it's not really letters but we call it four letters simply to give it language and it's organized in a particular fashion and if one would come before the other would make chaos in the system and every aspect of the organism is not a small detail that is not included over there in the DNA and each cell captures the entire organism which is why from the saliva of a person from the saliva a person you gettin you could know the totality of the purse DNA testing you have it in the nail from the nail you can identify somebody who lived a thousand years ago or somebody who did something decades ago because each aspect each cell contains the information of the entire organism xyce hatorah Adam the trailer is exactly the same thing every Pratt every detail it says the camera says in massage rusalka Rashi brings it it's a famous principle a Mook the Momo habit or a Mook the mohkumat area means there's no early earlier and later and Tyra literally means it wasn't written in chronological order there are events that happened first and they're written later there are other events that happen later but they're written earlier the classic example is safer by mid bar opens up partial meter opens up with a sham telling moisture to count the Jewish people when on the first day of the month of ear on the first day of the second month of the year after the first anniversary of the exodus of Egypt they left Egypt on Pesach one year later one year in two weeks later okay one year in two weeks later he told Marshall availeth to count the Jews that's parshas by mid bar if you go to parties later parties by Alaska he talks to Marina Bay no one tells them to tell the Jews to offer the Pesach offering that happened on the first of Nissen so parshas by mid bar describes an event that happened in the month of the year partials biological describes an event that happened in the month of Nisan a MOOC to mohabbat or sometimes it happened later but it's written earlier sometimes it happened earlier it's written later it's not written in chronological order this is what the gomorrah says interacted south from page six twice vez esta su sobrino parrots gives an extraordinary insight and he says why couldn't it try to be written in order he says if the title would have been written in order these are his words then everybody would be able to create worlds as he desires and everybody would be able to do whatever they want with the universe what does Tyson Savannah parrots mean just like the human organism has DNA the cosmos has DNA the DNA of the universe is the Taira DNA is always based on order if the trader would have been written in the order of the DNA then anybody with Toyota would be able to create worlds as they wish because it's the DNA of the cosmos and manipulate the world as they wish therefore was out of order and because it's out of order so now go figure out the order in order to be able to get to the DNA that represents the structure of the universe but what this also means is that every detail of Toyota every cell of the 37 trillion cells has it all you have to know how to read the cell you have to be able to unravel the cell you have to be able to explore what it is but within it you have everything or in the words of Robbie no sahaja yog on her exome Cassata typhus be Mikasa at the typhus Bakula whenever you deal with core truth even if you get only a little bit of it you got all of it because if it's on the level of core every fragment has everything and the entire picture is contained within the smallest fraction because it's not really a fraction it's part of an indivisible essence that encompasses all so that's why whenever you deal with things on the level of DNA you don't need a lot the tiniest the tiniest part of it encompasses all of it but you have to deal with the level of DNA on that level on the cellular level and with what it's contained within the cells you're dealing with XM you're dealing with the core that's amines the bone the core the essence the quintessence of the body the quintessence of the organism and then one little prat one little detail reflects and encompasses and contains it all with Theriot so on the DNA level of Toyota meaning in the core of Turin at Summit Agra any detail any nuance captures its entire truth I say this today as an intro to the class because I want to illustrate this in one particular area it would seem not very significant or relevant to interpretations that seem like ok to interpretations but when one appreciates the core level the DNA level what we're calling the cellular structure of Tyra from a spiritual perspective one could see how this contains a full world harsh kapha that translates in so many other different areas that are not directly connected to this partials of an area records the first seven plagues that descended upon Egypt prior to the liberation of the Jewish people from Egypt doms verdeo Kingdom arrived ever seen and borrowed the last three will be recorded in parshas boy our Bihar chef Marcus Paris but damn blood verdeo frogs kingdom lies are of why animals Devorah plague tin boils and finally borrowed hail the hail that descended from the sky over Egypt and damaged the country significantly okay thank God it's not borrowed that was the seventh plague that descended on Egypt then you have the last three locust darkness and the death of the first born males of the Egyptian regime and an empire which oppressed which oppressed the Hebrew slaves and kept them in bondage bondage for so many bitter and difficult years the last plague if parshas Ferrera is borrowed hail and that's the conclusion of the portion and the way the terror describes it is Hashem tells Moshe after warning Perry again and again and again and his abstinence is refusal and rebellious Nestorian continuously oppressing and persecuting them so Shem Tov's Marcia lift up your hand towards the heaven on the heaven he borrowed bacala ritzmitz Ryan Barradas Heil Heil will descend on the entire Egypt on humans on animals on all the produce on all of the grass of the field the terrorist says indeed what a we were heard were careless thunders strong sounds and borrowed and it was a unique type of hail it was a hail by Eber advice miss LA caucus hail is of course droplets of ice but they contained within it was cold ice containing inside a blaze a glowing fire a burning fire H miss la Costas Patoka Barrett covered me I'd it was very heavy Egypt never experienced such a down pouring of hail Mayo's Hisle ago from when it became a civilization from when it became a nation its rock everything that was outdoors whatever remained outdoors vulnerable to the weather was struck down there was people humans Egyptians for was animals if it was the grass of the field produce trees bushes shrubs plants all the trees were broken were devastated as a result of the hail because it was so intense it was so heavy where the Jews lived in Goshen there was no halo higher buret Poirot he summons motion iron and when they come in to him he finally says these words which he never said before courtesy happen now I sinned now I discovered that I sinned Hashem hatzadik Vannevar me her Shyam God is righteous my people and I have behaved wickedly as we saw him wickedly please beg Hashem and ask him to stop these thunders and to stop the Hale and I'm going to send you out so Mauritius says I will leave the city I will spread out my hands to God the thunders will cease and the borrowed law yeoooow borrowed Lloyd the hell will not continue and will not be anymore so that you will know that God rules the world Lamont a tequila shot Moritz and the Turner finishes the story and this is how partial area concludes moisha went out of the city he spread out his hands by here first copper vilasa miss predators answered the reborn Elohim and indeed why after Luca colas the thunder the voice is the storm seized waha borrowed and the hail it stopped and then the terror ads for strange words who mater lenita Arzo and the rain did not arrive to the earth who mater lenita art so what does this mean and then of course the story ends that perry saw that there's no hail and there's calm and serenity and his heart became stubborn again and he refused to let the Jewish people go and that's the end of partials for area which will then lead to the continuation of the story in the next portion so Rashi the great commentator of whom issue explains every word that is difficult asks what does it mean who mutter the rain lenita arts we understand that the hail stopped it stopped raining there was no hail there was no fire there were no thunderstorms the weather now the Sun started to shine got it it says the coinless stopped the buret stopped like you say it stopped raining but then the tarry dance oh motor lane it the heart saw the rain didn't come down to the earth what does it mean it stopped raining you said it stopped the hail stopped so Rashi says lion attack means llahi Ghia it did not reach the earth I've Ison show you but I've really give Lawrence the drops the particles I should say of rain or of hail that we're in the ear did not reach the earth meaning they remain suspended it's not just the rain stopped so it stops raining the rain that's falling obviously there is gravity it comes down and then it stops raining there's no new rain that comes that's not what he says he says the hail stopped that's true it didn't continue this is called the class with musical accompaniment God is helping us illustrate everything we're talking about but we're glad that it's benign very benign thank God it's also one of the few classes in New York's in New York in middle of the winter outdoors I don't know how many other classes that way another miracle ok that's a very interesting interpretation who mater the rain even the rain that was already out it's not only the clouds did not admit new rain or rain stops it stops even the rain that already came out it started to come down it's supposed to come down to the earth know whom utterly knit the hearts what was the point of this new miracle the plagues were supernatural many aspects of them are all aspects that was supernatural but here the miracle is already after it ends after it ends another miracle that the rain remains suspended the drops of rain remains suspended now what happened with them Rashi doesn't get into it the gomorian brushes and the brushes then it came down allayed at a later period or on a literal level you may want to say the next time it rained it just came down however you interpret he doesn't get into that what happened with these drops but somehow they was suspended midair that's one interpretation natok means la he gear it did not did not reach it did not reach the earth the plague stopped it stopped what's that game a musical cheers write the music stops there's no I I didn't get to my chair yet wherever you are and there's no chair under you haha tough luck go play another game stop it stopped everybody stops it's frozen we're you frozen you're frozen admitted here why don't you come down we're not functioning anymore everything was put to a stop if you didn't leave the clouds great if you left tough luck you can't move Oh mother lenita hearts a very interesting interpretation then rashly gives a second interpretation and as she says that Neeta may me not arrive delighting it that doesn't mean it didn't arrive rather it didn't pour down Laney patch laurits liklihood sac loritts as he brings different proofs from Tanakh like me that means it wasn't poured down to the earth in other words it didn't continue completely different interpretation mother learn it the hearts it doesn't mean the rain didn't reach the earth the rain wasn't poured down to the earth which is not just a different translation it's a different meaning meaning that the rate like we would say the rain stopped it didn't continue to be poured down Laney Park and the first interpretation is it did in a row to the earth in other words it was on the way but it didn't get there like you say he left but he didn't arrive he left but he didn't arrive the second interpretation is he never left it was never poured and it never turned into a liquid it never turned into a liquid of rain that flows down it remained congealed it didn't flow out it didn't trickle down as a liquid that flows as drops of water or a rain-pour that flows that comes down well who'd suck in other words it didn't continue which is of course not a new miracle it's just like saying it stopped raining there was no new rain no new water was poured out of the clouds and no new hail emerged a whole different interpretation on one level what does this mean he's pretty struggling with the word Neeta it's not a regular word what does knee tack mean does it come from the word Rashi says according to the first interpretation it comes from the word vertically Noah lavage or an oath came to us it arrived that's from the book of the Neal according to the second interpretation it's key he talked Asif when you melt silver and from a solid it becomes a liquid if you ever saw how they melt metals with a melt silver Russian you'd see cosmatos when metal because something that's poor it you could pour it it becomes a liquid you know when you melted whether it's not a solid anymore that's what Lanie tack means from the word melt in other words the Mater never emerged into a liquid not only didn't arrive to the earth it wasn't in a position of flowing anymore because it wasn't poured out it remained congealed wherever it is and the clouds etc so on one level that seems like a very technical difference it results in a very serious difference if there was a new miracle at the end of the plank going to the first interpretation it's a pretty dramatic miracle everyone walks outside and there's droplets of rain all over the place but they're suspended in midair and somehow gravity is not doing its magic according to the second interpretation it was a miracle but now it's gone the rain stopped Baraka sham back to normal Pyrrha is stubborn once again it's another miserable morning in Egyptian exile and here we will see how to different interpretations which seemingly are an interpretation on one word Nita who mutter loin eateth arts just one word but again on the level of DNA on the level of core it captures not just a deeper meaning but a meaning that informs much of life and this is what we're going to dwell on BAE's erm which will also explain what would be the value and the meaning in the first interpretation what would be the significance of it when we speak of good beads and rewards or bad deeds and punishments sin and punishment there are two different ways of understanding it one way of understanding it is you do a good deed then you get rewarded one does a bad deed and they're penalized for it that's one way of understanding it there's another more subtle way of understanding it and this view is expressed at length in the works of the shallow the shallow Rob a near Shia Horowitz who wrote a safer called shallow which stands for Schnee Lucas a bris he lived in the 16th century the 16th and 17th century rava Frankfurt in Germany robbed of Prague Czechoslovakia today and finally in Yerushalayim buried in Tiberius and area near the rambha the Salon de Lucas a bris dedicates a lot of space to convey this other perspective which sees reward and Punishment not that you can hear me in the back with all the noise who sees reward and Punishment not as you did it you're gonna get punished you did it you're gonna get rewarded but actually as a direct consequence that emerges from the deed itself which is one of the interpretations not all but one of the interpretations in the Mishnah the Mishna says in Pirkei avos scar mitzvah Mitzvah Oscar Ave Rivera the reward of the Mitzvah is the Mitzvah the reward or the consequence of the various devera and what one of the interpretations is there are different ones but one of them is that rewards and penalties are not disconnected from the act they're rather a organic consequence which would really mean that the word punishment could often be very misunderstood misconstrued in our perception to give an example say somebody walks outside in a very cold winter day it's freezing outside together with the winds it's maybe eight below zero but you don't like wearing a coat you probably have one son or daughter like that they don't have to wear coats already when they with three they were parted from coats now some people are actually like that I've met them interesting creatures but let's talk about the people who don't fall into those supernatural categories and they need coats so I say I don't want a coat and I go out I'm just going to shul it's closed I go out and of course I get a cold now you could call it a punishment but that's really doesn't capture what happened it's more of a consequence if I decided to if I decide to jump off a building three or four stories high certainly ten stories high I'll probably hurt the few bones in my body to put it mildly is it a punishment I wouldn't call it a punishment it's a consequence you have to respect the laws of nature the laws of nature dictate right I once saw a fellow when I was in yeshiva he was a muscular strong fellow and he was crossing Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn which is a very very busy intersection and the cars are flying and I told him listen even a strong guy like you if I'm not if I'm not mistaken according to the laws of physics when that truck hits it there may be consequences so just remember you're a strong fellow but you have to respect the boundaries of nature and if I take my finger as I did last night and I put it into the oven to take out something and I didn't wear a glove because I was locked up right so the traitor calls it Korea Taha'a Korea a burn forever a burn for a burn is it a punishment it's a consequence the fact is that there are laws of nature I can ignore them let's take an example that some of you love to hear and some of you don't like to hear it's called nutrition if my nutritionist tells me this is your blood type this your body you want to eat carbs which you love knock yourself out but you're going to be lethargic you're going to feel heavy you're going to get into a bad mood of course you're tempted when you wake up in the morning to eat that extra pancake with maple syrup that your child did not manage to eat because the bus came it's a wonderful thing to eat the pancake it's certainly if he left six pancakes it would be wonderful to consume all six pancakes and start your day off on a high note that would be wonderful the problem is from the high note you're gonna end in a very low note and if you know yourself some people for some reason can eat six pancakes twelve pancakes and nothing happened you don't notice it they have a metabolism or some type of psyche that is immune to these things but some of us the moment you ate that extra pancake whoops depression sadness melancholy uncertainty self-doubt why am i alive Who am I Who am I not I'm quitting my job why am i working why am i this why am i that whoa whoa whoa eggs you become an existential philosopher you're not an existentialist you're not a philosopher you just had an extra pancake tomorrow get rid of the pancake and you read Rena Lin will flow so you could say is this a punishment I ate too much I ate the wrong foods and now I'm being punished I feel sick I feel lethargic I feel heavy I feel in a bad mood it's not a punishment you could call it that way but you're not capturing the truth of it it's a consequence of not respecting who you are a person maturity means knowing your boundaries knowing your identity creating space for it and respecting it you have a body a person what to respect the body a person ought to respect the type of body you have different people have different needs different people are allergic to different things different people can tolerate different things that other people can't tolerate respecting those boundaries means simply recognizing that we live in a world of causes and effects and if I fail to assume responsibility and make believe that this cause has no consequences I'm not hurting anybody but me who will be R those consequences either in short term or maybe not sure to them but long term and this is true with everything but Yiddish guy comes and takes it a step further just as there are physical laws of nature there are also spiritual laws of nature there are also what you may call psychological laws there are emotional laws I can't put my finger in a burning oven or on a hot stove and affect and it's unexpected that there will be no consequence why do I think that I could lie and there won't be a consequence I ate the wrong pancake and my blood did not react nicely my digestive system did not react nicely my circulatory system did not react nicely my excuse me my various systems did not react nicely why because I violated and I did not respect their laws why do I think that my soul will react nicely when I put it in the stove if I lie I violated the laws of spiritual nature now my soul feels grouchy this is what we call the conscience the soul also has laws and if I violate them if I don't respect its identity I have to bear the consequences there are consequences that are noticeable immediately there are consequences that are unconscious if a person insults somebody for person uses foul language constantly if a person causes somebody pain they may feel it but I also feel it if I'm sensitive I'm going to feel it right away if I'm not I'm going to feel it later but it's basically I jumped off first I jumped off three stories I've hurt my body if I do other things I hurt my conscience I hurt my soul and that's where healing is needed repentance is needed recovery is needed transformation is needed and this is true in all laws of life there are the physical laws of nature there are also spiritual laws of nature this cause an effect on a tangible scientific level you walk outside when it's hot is different when you walk outside when it's cold you walk barefoot you went out without a coat you put your hands where it doesn't belong you put into your body what doesn't belong what doesn't belong in the body but there's also spiritual laws of causes in effect and just because they're not as tangible doesn't mean they're not as effective sometimes they're more effective because they touch me in a very deep place and that's what maturity means maturity means taking responsibility for my words from my actions from my thoughts and for my interactions with people realizing I can deny it I could make believe that my body is not allergic to anything that I can do whatever I want whenever I want but I'm not living in reality and whenever you don't live in reality ultimately reality punches you in the face now you could rule or deny that you have a face and you could deny that you're getting punched in the face and that's why people become addicted to numbers why do we become addicted to things that numb our pain and I'm not only talking about dramatic numbers numbers as nu MB ers that I just make up a word aa numbers numbers things that numb you they numb you why do people have to numb themselves I have to numb myself because imagine if my finger didn't have any nerves I would put it in fire and I wouldn't feel any pain that wouldn't help me the fact that I feel pain and I scream is because my finger is healthy and it's responding to danger what do numbers do numbers just cut the nerves they don't alter the consequences they just allow you to experience the ruin without being conscious of it which means I go down I don't go downward spiral without being aware of what I'm doing because I cut the nerves why cause it's too painful so from living the life of self-destruction it's very hard to keep those nerves alive because what am i doing and that's why I have to fry my brain or dull my senses and this is the story of many of life and it's more painful than the destruction because the destruction itself if I could be conscious of it I could scream I could cry there's a beautiful interpretation of the of the garrier the Umrah amis of this famous someone attributed to this famous one of the Garry rep is the finish area most master mr. Murray M as I saw quoted from different ones Hashem tells motion the beginning of passions Moreira the beginning of the portion for it's a cska me Taha's civilize mitzrayim i will take you out from the civilize what-who civilize me literally it's translated as the burdens of egypt egypt burdens you i will take you out of the bird and you won't have to be under that burden but he said really the word civilization russian Kadesh comes from the word Liz Bowl what does Liz ball mean tolerate you say this guy has Salah North what the stuff Allah not me patience in modern Hebrew but the word cevlar note comes from the word you have patience you could sit in one place and do nothing this is before iPhones and before toys imagine that a person could be in an elevator and go up 39 floors and actually talk to the person nearby because there's no phone imagine you were waiting for a meeting and you sat in the office for 40 minutes you remember you sat in two overs of 40 minutes and there was nothing to do because the magazine's were 60 years old today we don't have those upper two today we don't have those opportunities anymore there's always a top scale you could play with Sevilla north means you could tolerate who could you tolerate yourself you could sit with yourself right some people actually find themselves to be more interesting than the emails they got I don't think it's such a bad idea could you find yourself to be an interesting person that you're allowed to sit with yourself why if I take my phone and I read your email suddenly my life is meaningful and if I read my own email to myself life is meaningless why do people become so boring in their own eyes body else around me is interesting so if I get a text or an email or what's up I'm suddenly excited but if I get nothing and I'm sitting with myself this is called boredom woe onto humans that they find themselves so boring and other people have to become have to be the source of their interest something very strange so savoir note is the ability to sit with yourself says this possum is void say cska me Taha's civilize mitzrayim i'm going to liberate you from a situation where you tolerate Egypt civilize mitzrayim because exile in Egypt comes from the fact that you tolerate it all subjugation comes from the fact that you tolerate it you tolerate it you make peace with it it's the battered victim who makes peace with it why do I make peace with it I don't see I don't see another possibility I don't see another potential it's the best I can do under the circumstances i acquiesce I surrender so God tells my sure before you get redeemed the first thing is you have to scream for its ACS kimitaka civilized don't have so much sovereign loot from its Ryan have several a note for yourself not from its right not for the mitzrayim in you civilize some things are intolerable the moment you'll realize it's intolerable you'll get out of it because it's intolerable I grew up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn it's a cute story but also a deep story and I went to a school and the school never had money like every good Jewish school especially a few decades ago you never had money never money the steam didn't work in the wind through the air-conditioner the steam didn't work at the winter their condition didn't work in the summer sometimes for a few weeks there were peas every day for lunch remember please that was like the classic classic food if they were wealthier they gave rice and of course always milk at the peas and milk with rice peas and rice with milk okay sorry and then they told us one day that the Chinese live long because they drink milk eight cups of milk and they eat rice right turns out that the information wasn't exactly impeccable but in any case the boss always broke down I mean the bus we enjoyed it because if he didn't make it to school it was a good day and if the steam didn't work we got to go home or the teacher took us to his house to to learn and the director of this school he was a holy drew actually an LTI aide and the steam didn't work and I was a winter day and it was freezing in class so we were all sitting with our coats and complaining and we really loved it because it was it was wonderful it meant there's gonna be stories and more recess etc and the teachers were not in the mood of controlling the class so we used to pray for the for the steam to break and they were even guys who were made a contribution to help God fulfill fulfill their prayers so this fellow comes in and he says you know I was in Siberia and it was much colder so he gave us he gave us a reference point a reference point in life anyway the bus broke down one day I smear a bus you could call that a bus like lucky like you like you could call your father's station wagon a car just like your father's blue station wagon was a car this was a bus a bus it belong to the basic cars but they called it a bus this school had two directors like they were on that they were old Hasidic Russian Jews who lived on the Stalinist persecution for years and they would talk of holy Jews they weren't Mama's living in this world so much but they were good people like airlifter elephant elephant as you would say really elevated and they were standing on Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn between Brooklyn and a new area cavity I don't know if you know the geography of Brooklyn and there was a yellow bus there dilapidated far hawkish method the Malacca Mabus lived there but it said a sign for sale for sale and these two Hasidic Jews Matt Langer vice Abed were looking at the boss like you survey a house they were looking at the boss and examining a chart who walks by the lubavitcher rebbe is walking home he would walk home every day now that we look on himself constantly so he's walking lived on President Street she's walking on Eastern Parkway and he sees these two characters looking at this boss so about you never stops it as most of us cook dinner so what are you looking they say the boss of the yeshiva broke down the kids don't have a boss they're basically doing carpool for a hundreds of kids so we need a boss and we saw that it's for sale so we're looking maybe maybe we could borrow money raise get money to pay for the boss you need a new boss so the Obama never takes a look at the bus he says uh Corbin this bus is dilapidated this boss is dilapidated how could you purchase such a boss you need to get a nice boss a functional boss a comfortable boss an elegant bus so they both smile they say even for this boss we don't have the money even this boss which is ten times cheaper than any other bus we don't have the money you want us to go get a nice new elegant comfortable boss that's certainly out of the picture even this we don't now we're gonna pay for so the lab average should ever told them I'll say it in Yiddish and then I'll translate a vase for a voice and hotness the gelt raised five US air hunters the gelt for Shana Otto boss he said Bob Iife is an act as the kinder zone foreign in Azhar boss the reason you don't have the money to be able to purchase a nice comfortable boss is because in your mind it's fine if the children travel in this bus it's completely fine in other words very often it's our expectations of reality that define the reality if something is intolerable for you it's not Paulo it's not a question then you will find within yourself skills and resources that you didn't find before that's not a mirror cool idea this is actually a very deep idea about the human psyche if something is acceptable you will not be able to get out of it because your sister makes peace with it and then you can't get out of it you're stuck I can't do this I can't do that I can't do that so motion Trevino is told by our some the first thing is you have to stop tolerating Egypt you have to say this is not going to happen this is intolerable so an Alaia Follies bollards er you have to be able to cry out you have to be able to protest against the status quo of subjugation of oppression of violence of bloodshed of abuse of discrimination physically emotionally or spiritually then you'll can go free if not a strong hand could slap you out but you'll run right back in because even if you could take out the eggs all from the Jew how do you take the Jew out of the eggs oil I could take you out of mitzrayim how do I take mitzrayim out of you and that's why when the Jews go to the desert they keep on saying after every crisis I want to go back why do you want to go back they threw your children into a river and the sad answer is because familiar abuse is sometimes more tolerable than an unfamiliar future even if it sounds like freedom because somehow I became accustomed to it now this takes courage Mitaka Sibley's miss Ryan what do I do I burn the nerves if I get rid of my nerves I could put my finger in fire and let it be decimated customer solemn and there's no pain I'm smiling why I'm drugged up I'm numb and again there are different ways of being numb some of us do it through binging some of us do it through other methods but the point of numbness is I shouldn't be able to feel I shouldn't be able to feel the consequences so I don't have to take responsibility just as there are spiritual laws of cause and effect within me within my body within my soul within my mind every act action has a reaction every action has a consequence that's what it means to take responsibility for life just like every time I eat the potato chips there's a consequence unless you eat one piece of potato chip but I have not figured that out yet how do you eat one piece of potato chip you never eat one piece of potato chip you finish the bag and then you do another bag because the appetite has been developed I'm not talking about you me that's what do they say me that's me that's some zone of my main dish Nuria it's an expression in either she talked to your son you mean his daughter-in-law you can talk to your daughter-in-law so you tell you some why you such a dis if that's a myth means if but the point is that a person can it's nothing it's not nothing it's not nothing I needed the vitamins I didn't take the vitamins I needed the medicine I needed the injection i whatever it is that a person needs I have to respect it when a person cannot respect their body and their soul what often happens is they deny their reality and when they deny the reality the consequences are often very serious now it's easy to live in denial because who wants to live with consequences my father died from diabetes I saw what he went through as a diabetic couldn't eat anything on the table it's much better not to believe it consequences you could sit and eat what's at the table I'm a crier believing in consequences creates problems for life the problem is that the alternative is a much greater problem because the moment of what that means to live a good life is when I can accept the boundaries of reality that's not called repressing yourself it's called aligning yourself with who you are I could live a life of alignment and I can live a life of give me the opposite dissonance dissonance very good I could live a life of alignment in which I am aligned with me with my body with my energy with my psyche with - trauma and I could live a life of disalignment how long can I be this aligned is there such a word this aligned ok misalign how long can I be misaligned a day a month a year unless I numb the pain but how long I can't because I have to be I and I doesn't only mean my blood type it means that - doesn't only mean my digestive system it means that - doesn't only mean the type of energy I have that too it also means my soul my psyche my mind my inner consciousness and Manish Sharma aligned with me alignment a life of alignment a life of misalignment is a life in which ultimately I'm fighting my own reality I'm betraying it and the reality speaks up reality always speaks up because it's real reality comes from the word real just as there are consequences in my body and in my soul there's laws of course in effect it's also true in the whole universe all the studies of chemistry the studies of science basically the studies of engineering it's all understanding what works and what doesn't work if you're going to combine two forces but they can't be combined you're going to have a disaster you want to build a bridge and you want cars should be able to drive over that bridge to get from one side of the water to the other side of the water if you're not respecting the mechanical laws upon which our planet are built what are you doing it's very nice if you build a plane and you don't respect the laws of aerodynamics if you build any machine and you don't respect the laws of engineering what are you building you're creating a disaster at best it will be futile at worst you'll endanger people's lives person builds a car and the sides I'm gonna build it the way I want build-it very nice very good schmuck and then you put the person on the road and put the person on the highway you're creating the disaster so now I asked you a question but hearing to the laws of engineering or the laws of science is called enslavement it's called repression what do you think anybody the exact opposite of course it's respecting the fact that you live in reality and if you want to achieve something this is the way to achieve it because these are the laws of reality that you're part of this is essentially what is at the core of halakhah when we speak about halacha a system of law systems and orphan teenagers and adults and young adults in various conversations and classes and interactions and emails most ask me the question I don't want to live by a system that represses me I don't want to live by a system that that that confines me that inhibits me that boxes me and I don't want that I want to be a free person I want to be emancipated which is a very natural outcry especially of a young spirit a female or a male young spirit who wants to those who want to be inhibited and here is a very important principle in life there are two types of inhibitions there are inhibitions that come from within and there are inhibitions that come from without there are inhibitions that are essential to reality and their inhibitions that are imposed on you the inhibitions of halacha are a blueprint for life that respects the boundaries of your body and respects the boundaries of your so that you could be able to flourish not be repressed that your energy should be able to be quadrupled should be able to grow should be able to increase that your momentum should be more powerful I'll give an example from the world of science something called laser technology laser technology developed just a few decades ago and it was fascinating today people go into the hospital and they perform a laser surgery laser surgery gets into the body without an incision through laser technology they could work in a diamond and the laser beams of light have the power to penetrate and have a tremendous impact without the physical methods of breaking it down as it was before the discovery of laser what is laser technology based on very briefly and simply every object in the world emits light that light is ferocious the problem is it emits light in all directions and therefore it gets weakened because the light gets squandered in all directions what does laser technology do it harnesses and confines and limits the light to be able to go only in one direction and as a result of that it unleashes all of its power in a concentrated fashion and then with the laser you can perform extraordinary feats because the light has been focused and harnessed and channeled in one direction so it's not squandered here and there and there so now I ask you is laser confining and inhibiting yes but what is it really doing it's unleashing its full power its unleashing its full potential if you don't limit the light that you let the light go everywhere it's just weakened with laser technology you could perform surgeries same-day surgeries very heavy surgeries that are done today without a cut that's the power of that light why on one level you can find it but you can find it in order to have all of it to have all of its energy so imagine somebody tells me rabbi why why if you stopped eating this and this and this and this and you go work out X Y Z a day or a week your energy will be quadrupled you'll think faster you'll produce faster you'll sleep less you more chaos he'll have more stamina so I say I don't want to live a life of confinement so all about not I can't do this I can't do that again no no no I'm not confining you I want to unleash you I want to get to the atomic energy I want to get to your nuclear energy without the discipline your energy is all over the place now you're in a good mood ten minutes later you're in a bad mood tonight you don't sleep because you're active and then the next day you sleep for 18 hours teenagers know what I'm talking about and then you're up for three days because you excited about some project or you found yourself a new friend do you think likes you for two weeks and then you're in a bad mood for two weeks my energy is all over the place by confining the light I channel it that you're full momentum should be able to come out that's the function of halakha that's the OhLaLa there's not a single halakha Tyra is the spiritual laser technology of the universe recognizing the light and recognizing its power and recognizing what it needs in order to be able to be unleashed which is why which is why halacha comes from the word how leafless oil employ highly what does high look mean movement now isn't it a contradiction how do most people understand how law has what rigid structure halika means motion movement growth that growth it's not creative it's fixed that's what a locum means this is the law that's the sad part you don't understand what her law says if you don't see that I love his Holly car you don't get it in other words the real master of halakha is the most creative person collecting its authenticity unleashes profound creativity in fact unlimited creativity I will tell me some people have a completely opposite experience where all the experiences inhibition confinement rigidness and a form of melancholy and a lack of joy it's because they didn't get the second part of the memo in other words it's exactly like a poet once said you have a violin and the violin plays beautiful music but there's one condition the strings have to be tied down if you take a scissor and you cut all the chords and you let them soar and fly and you put them outside in this beautiful wind and the strings of your violin are flying and waxing poetically it's wonderful and beautiful but music will not emerge from this violin strings that are tied down can also create a violin that produces the most exquisite and the lightful music and the same is true in life the laws of nature exist not only in me they exist in the entire universe the universe is governed by laws of nature I can't deny them there are physical laws of nature there are spiritual laws of spiritual nature based on the spiritual design of the universe very important the spiritual design how law is sensitive to the physical design and the spiritual design your organism has a design it has a makeup and the world has a design and makeup and no atheist can deny this when he or she wants to build anything that will be useful how many experiments that the Wright brothers ever read about the Wright brothers figuring out the first airplane when in 1902 I think or 1901 would share was it uh 1903 you did a report on it you did a report on it how many experiments are they have to do it's not just gonna fly the same is true with the spiritual laws of nature disrespecting it is not a form of freedom it's a form of denying the truth of reality which will only come to haunt me because it will keep me trapped in a life of disalignment blessed is the life of alignment even if that sometimes is challenging just like the laser light needs to be confined because it has to be channeled in one direction can it be represented as repression and oppression of course that's what Egypt does civilize mitzrayim but one can change their paradigm and appreciate a different perception which now brings us to the concept of reward and Punishment real reward and Punishment is about consequence whatever you do creates energy that energy comes back to you what I say creates energy what I do creates energy when the butterfly flaps its wings and they say there's a storm in China every action creates a reaction everything creates energy and the energy comes back to me the energy lives in me and the energy lives around me and the energy lives outside of me just like whatever I take into my body creates something there's an impact I may feel it now I may feel it in 20 minutes I may feel it in two hours I may feel it in four years but there's an impact the more conscientious the more aware I am the more I'm sensitive to the impact I know a couple who decided after 20 30 years of marriage they're becoming crazy health freaks but ma ma SH they went to a nutritionist and he wrote out a new diet and all the old food classic Shabbos foods mayonnaise mayonnaise sugar sugar oil liver kishka I mean every all the food that killed all out lettuce lettuce lettuce spinach kale more kale dessert kale breakfast kale dinner more kale soybeans a snack is like tofu or something chia seeds for a snack maybe whatever that type of food after a month they did it and they decided to celebrate how does a Jewish sex couple celebrate they go out to a regular restaurant and they eat a normal Jewish meal which means of course Chinese and Japanese the classic Jewish foods from before Matt and Tara they come home that night and they can't sleep the stomach is turning over they're nauseous they want to vomit they're feel horrible he tells me 6:00 in the morning he calls the nutritionist says you deceived me I've been eating potatoes for 50 years it never bothered me for one month I went on your stupid diet and last night I ate some potato and some sugar and some rice and I'm sick and the nutritionist told them after a month you became healthy enough that your body protested the toxicity that you have been feeding it your whole life you became healthy enough to get sick you were so sick that you weren't sick because you were so sick you were numb your body shut down now you're healthy to become sick this is a true insight in life the fact that you're protesting it is good this is the beginning of redemption this is the intolerance of dysfunction this is the fact that misalignment creates consequences and if you could feel it and feel bad about it good that's the good news it's not the bad news if you feel that godless is godless you're on the way to Google Earth the problem is not the goal of the problem is you think godless is Google Earth the fact that I'm making somebody told me this is the fact that I'm ignorant is not a problem the challenge is when I think ignorance equals knowledge I don't mind talking to ignorant people that's why I talk to myself all the time that's not a problem a good teacher likes to speak the ignorant people you know it's painful when one speaks the ignorant people who substitute and perceive their ignorance as knowledge and insight they're stuck forever in the trap of Exile that's why sometimes people who grew up with familiar terms it's much harder to reach them than people who grew up with a blank slate when you grew up with a blank slate you say here's an empty piece of paper tell me what the right but if my paper is already filled with misinformation and I think it's information I don't come with openness I try to fit in what you're saying into my perception and thus I mitigate i dilute I misconstrue and I compromise everything you all understand what I'm talking about if I was talking to men this would take three hours to explain so I'm glad that we can go brief ok so now let's come to the next step when terror speaks about a punishment the real idea is what I do creates energy and it comes back it generates consequences physically emotionally psychologically spiritually when we speak about Olam haba Elam haba basically means living in the consequences of what I did being aware of the truth of reality without numbing allah azza is a world of numbing I think a coffee I take tea soon as lunch then is dinner then his breakfast then we go out then I have to do this then and I love muhabba you don't even have an iPhone so what are you Google you got to sit with yourself you guys said with your real self with your real self and work it out work it through all the ten plagues of Egypt were consequences of the energy they produced therefore we have the concept of truth what is true ver Coover doesn't mean repentance repentance is a Christian translation I don't know if you know what's the Jewish trance what does chuva mean return what does return mean alignment realignment what does the word Ave Ramin sin is a Christian translation what's the translation of a not transgression crossover Passover what did I pass over I passed into a place that violated boundaries my own evader I was over we say Oh leave him and welcome the mahkum you passed what did you pass I miss the opportunity for alignment I passed over into a place that defies my boundaries the word mitzvah you know what the real translated with mitzvahs commandment no what's the real translation word mitzvah Maroubra a connection alignment Mitzvah means alignment what you do is something that connects I don't know too many people who like to be commanded especially your kids but I don't know anybody who doesn't want to be connected its alignment it's connection connection with what connection with truth with your own truth and with all of truth its alignment misalignment creates havoc it wreaks havoc everywhere misalignment it's like taking a child away from a mother prematurely it used to be and this is well known in psychology as attachment theory do you know that till the 1960s right you brought that child to the hospital mommy could not stay with the child you could visit once a week for an hour you said what this kid is 4 years old time to grow up you're turning him into a baby the idea of education was less hugs less affection less dependency more maturity more responsibility today their entire conception change they understood it's actually creating more dependency more dysfunction by not nurturing attachment when you need it because alignment means you could be who you have to be so then you could become we have to become as a result of this we have now the concept of borrowed every play was a consequence of the energy that's why I'm not I did once a class on this I think a few years ago but I'm gonna do it right now but the ten plagues corresponded to the ten meters to the ten Caiaphas of the soul caster hokhmah bina kasih Duarte Farris Nets have heard you said malkos each plague represented a misalignment of that particular faculty and that's why it's divided into seven and three because there's seven meters and there's three higher faculties Cassie Hoffman be no okok Mabini das and then you have the seven emotions cast it through mouth is that we do in Syria sorry Emma because the plague essentially was a manifestation of misalignment barod came in the form of hail with fire inside but that was a physical manifestation of a world gone crazy as a result of human oppression as a result of the abuses of human rights and Jewish rights and and and and and life rights moral rights in Egypt when God tells Moshe when motion comes to push em and davon stop Poirot he said I want to do true ver para he said for the first time courtesy Hashem hatzadik von Eva Amy hurry show him what happened now this was a moment of alignment it wouldn't last Pyrrha was Pyrrha but it was a moment of true vu relative speak relatively speaking that moment he was sincere he changed his mind that happens to many of us the doctor calls you in and says this is serious and for a week you behave and then you feel good again right and we go back to normal we make fun of pyro don't we all do the same thing when there's a crisis huh everything is changing well life goes back to normal life goes back to normal takes a lot of discipline and courage to be able to maintain the awareness when crisis is gone a lot of courage and thus at that moment Perry was sincere moisture comes tache em and what does he say Kyrie won't do it anymore please stop and it stops it stops stops right now but what happens the droplets of water what happens to the droplets of water that are there what happens right now the first interpretation of rash is they remain they remain there the second interpretation is they're gone they don't remain there they don't remain Rashi says lo hoots a cloris they're gone they never poured out to the earth meaning either they descend or they're good they're just obliterated and the new ones don't come what's the difference oh it's not a small difference it's the great question of what healing means what Shiva means what happens to the to the raindrops is a reflection of what happens to the soul because it's all a reflection punishment is not separate it's just a manifestation of energy there are two ways to understand Shiva and let me give a somewhat physical psychological illustration I'm walking in the street it's a beautiful day it's a calm day I'm serene and suddenly walk something whacks into my forehead and I take a look and I see a piece of ice with fire inside just whacked into my forehead and I look around why didn't nobody else experience that and then I realize I just walked into my past and because I walked into my past nobody else experienced it because this was just my past that's the first interpretation I walk into my past the droplets are there and I bump into them and they're there and they stay there even after healing and then there's a second interpretation that says no they're gone and this has to do with a very profound question what does Trueba mean and is really two states of it and very briefly it goes like this one concept of alignment means I realign myself I regret what happened and I changed my course for the future but I can't change the past how many of you are here sitting in this room who have regrets over mistakes that you have done in your life anybody okay is there anybody who has no regrets with you there sure mamma's hard to speculate even the most confident among you and I know some of you are very confident people and proud people but if you Jewish there is a regret I promise you some have big regrets some are sitting here and have regrets that don't let you sleep at night and many of them have to do with yourself with your parents with your marriage and of course a topic you may be familiar with with your children if if only if only I got an email a few days ago a fellow we listened to a few lectures of mine on marriage and he writes to me why couldn't you post them 40 years ago when I got married I said coz I was six years old that's why I was eating cotton candy I wasn't lecturing on Shaolin buyers I still eat cotton candy but now I also like trance Allah bias that's life we have regrets there's not a there's not a healthy person doesn't have regrets in fact if you're a person you have to have regrets the meddra says Coover was created before the world what does this mean how could you ever be created before the world isn't sugar fixing the damage we did in the world the answer is if you're a human being mistakes are inevitable not necessarily because you're a bad person because we always grow even further more mistakes that I made yesterday yesterday they may have not been mistakes but as grow my consciousness grows my horizon grows I go back and I say mmm that was a missed opportunity by definition there's always truly even the greatest Sabich lives in Trula Trueba means more awareness and an infinity there's never a shortage of more awareness now there's two ways of looking at it one way of looking at it is what was was let's focus on the future and it's not a bad attitude it's not such a bad an unwise attitude to say Marsha hyah hyah there you go me nyan which means I don't know it's a nice poem in Hebrew what's past is gone what's in the future is also it's not here yet the present past is like the blink of an eye what are you worried about yeah go tell that to you guys tige me nyan right or somebody says somebody once said the past the present in the future walked into a bar and it was tense so what attitude is you're gonna wallow in mistakes you're gonna live and regret you're gonna sit and clap all there shaman Luba God no um Kip is a time to say asam no you want to say tafflin every morning there's a few minutes you say taco you can't live your whole life for some new bug add new kazama's Bernardo fee and let's go again or sham Luba God no Kazama I'll hate hate hate because you become dysfunctional you become depressed and you repeat more mistakes depression is also a sin so this attitude is yes there were consequences there was damage there was a lot of negativity and that's it that's what it is the power of a life is I can recreate a future somebody once described the differences of two people difference of two people to 70 year olds gave away their phillyd to check they came back there parceled a disqualified one guy says wow I never put on tefillin in my life what a failure what a loser the other person says wow how lucky I am that at the age of 70 I can discover that I need new tefillin and I could start putting on lutes fillin he understood the past that's why he felt lucky in others he focused on the future he focused on the opportunity because sometimes people just beat themselves up from mistakes they may have made consciously unconsciously inadvertently when I was awake when I was asleep when I was stupid when I was smart when I was alert when I was not alert when I was dumb when I was a baby when I was an adult I was abused I wasn't abused I was almost abused I was Meshuga I was totally sugar I was out for lunch I was out for breakfast I was out for supper my husband made me miss sugar my shrink made me miss sugar this one made me make sure that I made myself miss sugar and what's the result the result is now I'm really crazy and I'm worthless and useless and I give up on myself which only makes me repeat more mistakes and therefore this concept is you got a look at now and you got a look at the future is there a time to cry of course is the time to cry is there a time to grieve there's a time to grieve and that helps gives perspective but there's a deeper explanation and those are the two explanations in Russia and the condition of the second explanation is that even in the world of Egypt even in the world of para even in the world of the non drew there's also a second explanation not only do the droplets of rain Spira main suspended and remember punishments are always manifestations of what you did when you look at a droplet of rain it's bumping into your to your forehead what is it you bumped into your past and the past remains there remains and it keeps me humble it's a good thing it keeps me humble and being humble is a very good thing the boss Hampton had a faucet and the cost had said to him I want to see le oh uh Novi he said you don't have to see Leo 1rv no I want to see I'll do anything he gave him on avoider for ten years he worked for ten years he never saw Elijah came back to the boss and when he said ten years down the drain this is why down the drain I accomplished nothing says what do you mean you accomplished nothing you became humble come on man I'm alum edge till then you were flying in the sky you were the Leo on mr. Burnham and you're humble ten years you worked you didn't say Leo I'm gonna be now you a person Coppola smile off him there's a professional energy that's a kind fagelah symposium he thinks he has all the birds in the bosom at Leo one of these in the bosom the owner he doesn't come to bosoms Scott you got humility is not a bad thing in life it's deep if you could just accomplish humility in this world is also not such a bad feet not a bad thing the price at the end of soy 2 speaks about a nova de Mesilla see Shoreham dedicates a section to humility many swore him and muster and others firm discourse another real dis fake humility this fake humility you know I'm so perfect I'm humble too you know that type of humility I'm humble too I bend down my head I don't look and I'm humble there was a funeral of somebody I heed and somebody gets up at the funeral and says I want to tell you how humble he was you could tell me you could tell me what you think about this lady I'm just gonna tell you the story a person got up at a funeral a few years ago prominent person passed away and the person gets up and I want to tell you how humble he was when he would walk into a wedding he knew that everybody is standing to stand up for him but he was humble so what would he do he would always walk in with a safer so he could tell himself they're not standing up for me they're standing up for the book and maintain his another maintain his humility but authentic humility think about the story authentic humility in ask a fella but there's a second interpretation and the second interpretation Rashi says is that the water not only didn't arrive to the ground it didn't remain suspended in the air it was gone new water didn't emerge and this water didn't pour down to the earth - he doesn't only mean some say - it means it didn't pour down to the earth that meant it stayed in the earth when you study the Rashi well Rashi is giving a whole new interpretation it didn't remain midair it didn't remain suspended in midair it was taken away it was eliminated what is this representing this is representing a different type of children we're I can re define the past but you can only get to number two after you go through number one what does it mean to redefine the past here we come to the final point and it's going to be brief and I hope you'll get it we humans give context to everything the same act could be experienced by two people and two different experience two different ways and it's seen as a completely different act let me give a very graphic example forgive the example I just want to explain it to people can be yielding a knife take the knife and cut open a belly one you will call a gangster a murderer and the other one you will call a saint a surgeon a healer you'll be thankful to him for the rest of your life or to her for saving your loved ones life with that incision with that cut what do you mean it's a knife a belly cut open context context this is in a dark alley a gangster a terrorist a killer this is a surgeon in a hospital in a uniform a patient too sick he's trying to save his life they're both using the same weapon this is a weapon of destruction this is an instrument of healing I can use a knife to cut somebody cut my finger I can use a knife to cut Kalla nuclear energy could compensate for our electricity and we also know other things that atomic energy can do her regime oh and Nagasaki not getting involved about Truman's decision which was not our discussion today but we know the impact of atomic energy of the atom bomb 1945 Japan it's all contexts what does this mean what happens if I took out a spiritual knife and I cut something that shouldn't have been caught I damaged I hurt I took out a spiritual life words could be like a knife your mayor says words are like arrows some people when they speak it's like a knife anybody ever told you anything and you felt a stab in your chest a emotional stab oh it's a knife I take it a knife and I make a cut where shouldn't make a cut but what happens if I can redefine that experience of a circuit in terms of a surgeon holding a knife and saving somebody's life the facts that in change but the entire experience changes what does this mean in a person's life what it means in a person's life is there's no event in life I shouldn't say no there's no almost no event in life that remains only stuck in the past this was there is one percept that is one perception of reality but there's something much deeper in the human potential what is the deeper layer of the human potential it's the ability of a person not only to fix things for the future but even with the proper courage and awareness to go back in time and redefine the past not only leave the droplets suspended in the ear but actually eliminate them how do I eliminate them how do I obliterate them this requires a deep sense of consciousness the deep sense of consciousness talks to me and says this to me I have may have made bad choices I may have made bad choices thing how to say this brief cuz it's a little complicated God knows the future including my bad choices though I have free choice so don't I have free choice if I have free choice then does God really know the future if I don't have free choice then I don't have free choice so God can predict everything before it happened so then I don't have free choice because God already knew a thousand years ago what I'm gonna do today so I'm stuck I'm just a program I'm like a computer program the answer is there are two parallel universes there is the universe in which God knows everything and does everything there is the universe in which I make my own choices detached from God two completely parallel universes does the universe where God knows and God is the master of everything there's the universe where I know and I make choices and they're real choices God didn't dictate what I should do but you say everything is a soccer practice two universes one is a world of divine providence and control one is a world of free choice and here is the clicker when a person does real chuhwa what happens you align your universe the gods universe and then the act becomes a divine act which means it's redefined into a catalyst and springboard for much more goodness for much more awareness for much more truth and for much more depth or to put it in different words every Mitzvah has a preparation there's no mixing without a preparation you can't sit in a Sukkah if you don't build it you can't eat Allah you can't eat a Shabbos meal if you don't cook it you could tell your husband's in my name the Cholan doesn't emerge in a vacuum doesn't get hatched in the kitchen somebody asked of appearance you can't blow Schaefer if you don't cut off the ram's horn you can't put on fill-in if you don't make that feeling you can't light a Shabbos candle if you don't fashion the wax and the wick into a candle every Mitzvah has a preparation there's no mid suit without Hashem Mitzvah right now I ask you a question I'm going to ask you to answer every Mitzvah has a preparation what do you have to do to appear for this Mitzvah there's a mitzvah called sugar repentance what's the preparation you have to do for truther strange answer sin can the true without a sin I can't return if I didn't get lost ways can't tell me recalculate if I didn't take a wrong turn how do you return if you never left the house you got a lead get lost to return but how can you say sin as a preparation for truven if I wanted to appear for true ver what I said I'm asking you if I really want to appear for trivial what I said come on nobody can answer this question of course not if I care about God how do I sin so when I sinned I didn't prepare for trova but it's the only way you could do chuhwa so what happens when I sinned I was misaligned when I do Chava my world now aligned itself with God's world and the sin is redefined from a sin into the preparation for Chava think about it have a wonderful week sin was misalignment when I do real true ver I align my world with Hashem world so now the sin is redefined into the preparation from its VII it became the springboard for awareness for for growth for transformation much deeper transformation cabaco be a I'm sorry I don't deal directly with yeah you got to send them to my classes [Music] you're welcome you're welcome very nice they've gone all the way what's to stop you what it makes you have a great game very nice you saying if you're on the roof and there's no fence you can't play football you have a fence around the roof you can give it all you got you got a great game man go right up there fill the fun till the fence that allows you to play the
