Reeh - Amassing Spiritual Power

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with hashem's never running assistance in romantic Israel 5783 2023. this week's precious purchase for a and just like last week we spoke about the fact that there was a connection between purchase Vice akiv so here this week the medrish also points out the connection between the end of last week's Parish or the beginning of this week's Parsha and so I'd like to read to you lipsukum we'll start actually with this week's partial rate tells us behold mushroom says I am placing in front of you today two different possibilities a blessing or a curse is the blessing comes how how do we access blessings how do we access everything that we want in life we're going to see more what this looks like how this manifests but how do we get blessings if we listen to the Commandments of Hashem your God which I am commanding you today how does a person have him forbid undergo curses what causes that is very simple straightforward the curse comes upon a person negative things come upon a person why when we disconnect from Hashem we disconnect from spirituality when we disconnect from God if we don't listen to The Commandments Visa have heaven forbid we turn away from the path that I'm commanding you today following after the the idols the idolatry of the Nations so can go on to talk about when you come to Earth Israel so there's going to be a placement this is important we're going to place the blessings on the mountain our griez him on this mountain of Greece in their two twin mountains you place the blessings on one mountain you place the curses on the other Mountain go on to talk about the fact that we have to make sure that when it comes to idolatry we have to destroy all the idolatry in the land of Israel there's one place that we go there's one place in in the times of the Michigan it was it was to Shiloh in the times of the base when we had the temple it was Jerusalem there's a place that we go to serve Hashem and we're not to survive idolatry we're not to serve anything else we are to choose life we have to choose blessings and not have them forbid choose curses now what do these look like what did the blessings look like so and I want to mention here that this is Moshe Alabama's final speech and think about it for Moshe ravena's perspective Moses is standing there Jewish people are about to enter Israel it's the moment of the beginning of their Destiny really starting their their life in their own country with with the Torah as their guide this is an incredible moment so mushroom has to speak now a speech is going to last for thousands of years right we're still reading this speech today but what is the central message of his speech this is the message keep the Torah keep the mitzvahs obviously where energy Israel in the land of Israel that's the main place for the terror to be kept now I'd like to bring you back I like to bring it back to the end of last week's Parsha because as we'll see in The Matrix together that is that is really the foundation of what we say at the beginning of this week's Parsha and the person says like this it's only a few seconds back it's chapter 11 verse 22 and we just read chapter 11 verse 26 so it's four verses back foreign Hashem says if you shall keep you shall certainly keep if you keep it all the way is the double language you keep it you keep it all of this Mitzvah all of this Commandment that I am commanding you today what does the Commandment look like notice it's singular right inner a we spoke about the Commandments you shall listen to The Commandments plural here it's singular and we're gonna try to understand why it's singular here but what does it mean to keep the Commandments it means to love Hashem to go in his ways to attach yourself to him then what's going to be the result you will conquer all of the Nations that are there in the land of Israel you will inherit Nations that are much larger than you yeah so this is a secret by the way how we conquer the land of Israel when do we succeed right there's a process we've been going through for the last 100 years 200 years or so right the students of the girl came in the early 1800s to start the process and here we are 200 years later in the thick of the process seven million Jews strong but what is it that that is the foundation of our ability to conquer the land of Israel that such that every place that we go everywhere our footsteps it will be ours from the from the desert and all the way to the north all the way from the Euphrates River about ayama down to the to the last sea the Mediterranean maybe or maybe it's the Gulf of elat Ians nobody will stand before you no one will stand in your way your fear will be upon all of the all of the nations of the world when you walk in that land and you keep the Mitzvahs you follow the Commandments was not just telling us oh here's a nice set of rules for you to follow this will make your life good this is how you become powerful this is where your spiritual energy comes from it comes from keeping the Torah it comes from following the Commandments meticulously but interestingly one commandment which is the Commandment here it says all of this Mitzvah what's this Mitzvah and how does it contrast contrast to the mitzvos the multiple Commandments we're supposed to keep which are mentioned in the beginning of partials for a it says a message like this this is in Parsha dalid section dollar s maroon asks what's the single Mitzvah that really includes all of the other Mitzvahs because that's the idea right if you could have a single Mitzvah but really you need to keep all the limits this right but what's the mitzvah that includes all the other missus so there's a few shot him I'm gonna focus on the first shot the first understanding this is the Mitzvah of reading Shema we do it every day twice a day when we go to sleep we say Shema is all of these verses that speak about our love for Russia and our obligations to Hashem if we keep the Torah we will be rewarded it's all encapsulated in the midst of kriya Shima of reading the Shimmer this Mitzvah of creation I will see more about it we'll see what it does we'll see how it does it but the Mitzvah of kriya Shima and what is Christiana really what is the essence of kriyashima says the at the asef we create Hashem is one there is one God this is his will it's called the Torah these are his Commandments I am accepting upon myself through kuyashima and this is an all-inclusive Mitzvah includes all of the missus because as soon as they say I'm ready to do it I make my God my king it's all there it's all there it's all included in that commitment call why is the busting saying is all of this commandment all of The Commandments are included in all of this commandment s because when I make God my king as we've said when I make God my king I want to reiterate when I make God my king now I've committed to doing his will to giving his Torah to all of the Mitzvahs and that is how I get spiritual power now listen to this this is a little later in the same address era Ain based I want to tell you something scary it's scary and we have to know what this means we have to understand this but it says like this every single small area within the Physical Realm wake has thousands of maziken what are masikim they are negative spiritual forces we know what malachim are right we've heard of the angels angels are positive spiritual forces we're going to talk about how how we get the malach man we get the angels on our side and how do we get rid of the negative spiritual forces call them demons not exactly the right translation but we could call them demons says image every single small area of reality of the Physical Realm has thousands upon thousands of demons that are there because every one of them has a mask because we don't want these demons to look at us if the demons look at us if they take off their mask and they see us they will damage us now what what enables them to take off the mask what enables what what protects us from them Garmin when a person's sins cause it a person's sins that means I disconnect from Hashem I do something wrong my report ah the music the demon sees that now I can get this person sins they don't we don't realize it we do something wrong we disconnect ourselves from Hashem and now we give power to forces of evil to the to the demons as it were to know what these things are we have to understand what that means and then a person says he takes off the mask the demon takes off his mask and he causes damage to the person when I do an Avera when I do something wrong I disconnect I cause myself spiritual damage which can manifest in physical damage says I threw my connection to Hashem plus you can tell him in Psalm chapter 55 19 Hashem redeems my soul from from all of these negative spiritual forces because when I do what's right when I do Mitzvahs when I connect myself to Hashem I have many more spiritual forces that are by my side than the negative spiritual forces that are also there so I can win the battle I can win there's a battle going on inside of all of us and inside of the entire world throughout the entire world who are these that are the spiritual forces that are with me Adam you want protection you want spiritual protection you want physical protection you get it by strengthening your angels by fulfilling the Torah when we keep the Mitzvahs when we connect to spiritual to spirituality to Hashem we strengthen the Angels the power of the angels that are around us and they protect us and the demons can't take off their masks Levy the message finishes off and says these cars in the front of the human being we all have every single person has its cellular Kim we have a a spiritual a piece of God in us a somehow you have to know what this means because God doesn't have any form but somehow each and every one of us has a holographic imitation of Hashem we call it our soul inside of us we have a piece of Hashem inside of us and that spiritual representation of Hashem which is ours uniquely ours each one of us is a spiritual manifestation of God in this world that spirituality that Soul walks in front of us right we strengthen that Soul besides the strengthening the Angels We strengthen our soul and that soul walks out in front of us as we go through the world and it announces it makes an announcement um sorry the soul doesn't make an announcement all of the spiritual forces around announce watch out a human being is coming through a soul a reflection of Hashem a reflection of God is coming through here the demons themselves have no choice but to move away make room for the human being who has a soul and who is protected by angels Amos I now when is this true and this is the bottom line of it and this is the point of it this is by the way what we're reading here of course is we don't know exactly what this means we can't know exactly what this means but it's a it's it's a little bit of trying to understand how it works how does it work when I fulfill the mitsu says the magic I get spiritual protection I get angels to protect me all of this negative spiritual forces have no power when when I keep the tires that's what our positive means arvasik says there are blessings and there are curses what are blessings what are curses this is what it means there's a blessing you know what the blessings look like it looks like spiritual protection Angels surrounding you your your spiritual Essence announces or causes all of the forces of nature all of the force the spiritual and physical forces of nature to announce here comes a protected human being clalla United and the opposite heaven forbid where the mask is taken off of the negative spiritual forces where they are allowed to cause damage heaven forbid if we don't listen to the Torah now how do we listen to the Torah says the magic it's one Mitzvah that reminds us and keeps us on track recommit recommit right now that there's one Hashem his Commandments he is the king his Commandments I shall follow that's what we do every day twice a day when we say Chris we draw to ourselves through this incredibly powerful statement of commitment all of the Angels we draw to ourselves a pronouncement an announcement here comes a human being here comes an exalted reflection of God says the marzu I'd like to read to you tomorrow Zoo absolutely beautiful I don't know if we'll get to I do have it open here it's also incredibly beautiful I like to read to First the marzu we'll see if it's time for reading that other majors foreign we protect ourselves from all negative spiritual forces it's brought elsewhere magician Eve this protects you from azikian images what does it mean we're going over this we're reviewing this we're trying to understand it what does it mean if you will keep this mitzvah foreign what is the one Mitzvah which is the main the essence the root of all the other mitzvahs it's the belief that there's one Hashem and I accept upon myself his absolute kingship commercial like we find the command Marcus says that there's one minute summed up all the misses into one into one of the missus he says this Mitzvah contains all the other Mitzvah so what is it here that the righteous individual lives by his faith what does it mean he lives with the reality that Hashem is all there is and that I am his servant as we mentioned before marzu says that in Shima Israel it says right in in the creation that we read in this reading this daily recommitment that we say we say yes come on these words should be on your heart it's a reminder it's a recommendment here too it also speaks about the fact that we're obligated to love Hashem is right we have the parshur Chicago the obligation to love Hashem to you know we're supposed to serve Hashem out of love we're supposed to do it because he's our loving father he cares about us he loves us and we want to we want to make him happy I can't imagine those okay It also says over there is really means this is the depth of what he means and he says that there's one mix that includes them all and that's okay that's that and I want to share with you one more thing that the marzu says which is incredible and has to do with we we don't see what's going on we don't understand the ramifications of our words of our thoughts of our feelings of our of our statements we don't realize what a Mitzvah means we don't understand we don't see it but there's there's Spiritual Beings all around us we're completely surrounded by them there are angels and there are I don't want to say the word demons I don't like the word again negative spiritual forces they're all around us and through our actions through our Deeds through our statements we give strength to those spiritual forces that are around us much as we place the blessing on a certain Mountain place the the curses on a different Mountain it's a recognition of the fact that we affect the Physical Realm through our actions we have an incredible power through our statements through our commitments to Hashem through our recognition that he is all there is what does it look like again we said it looks like incredible incredible amount of power to the malachim to the angels he says Where do we get this idea that I get that there's angels and they I give them power because there is it's in the set in second Kings chapter 6 16. the blessing speaks about the fact that there was a there was a a big army that had come to face off I believe it was from ashur from Assyria had come to face off with the Jewish people they had surrounded and and placed the siege upon the Jews and the navi was told that you need not worry it looks like they're so powerful and we are so weak but we have so many more uh Army personnel we have so many more soldiers because we have spiritual soldiers right it was Alicia Navi he was able to he was able to see where the spiritual sight that he was surrounded by protective spiritual forces uh um fiery horses and and and chariots foreign the Angels who were protecting them that's what it means here in the process when it says I have more I have so many more with me I've more on my side I have so many more four spiritual forces on my side is we say also every day they have horses they have missiles they have who knows what they have I don't even want to know what they have but it doesn't matter what they have because as long as we are committed to Torah as long as we have Hashem on our side the the oh he sends all of his angels to protect us to to help us to succeed to conquer the land of Israel make way just like on the spiritual realm and this is this is amazing just like in the spiritual realm the the negative spiritual forces say make way for the human being Make Way for for his protective angels it's the same exact thing in a parallel way as we saw in the sukim the nations of the world when they see us doing what's right they don't know why they can't understand it they make way s when they see that hashem's name is called upon us when we are doing what's right they are afraid of us it's only when we're not doing what's right that they have any have I mean you know they could entertain the thoughts that they could heaven forbid have any power over us and I'd like to just read to you we'll finish off here with this little piece on the Magic in babida this is in the end of section towards the end of section it says like this it's talking about the the bracha of bilam he said the Jewish people are like a lion that gets up [Music] when they're asleep so they're not involved in Terra mitsus when they get up they get up like a lion what's the first thing that we do we grab the midst of Priya Sharma we say we make God our King Venus we become like lions and we take Hashem with us in all of our business dealings in all of the ways that we go foreign tool spiritual tool to protect us physical protection somebody comes against you myself there is no other God besides for God that protects us no negative spiritual forces or physical forces can touch us tariff excuse me we don't go to sleep until we've eaten our prey what is our pray our prayers the negative spiritual forces when we say right before we go to sleep right it says they will not go to sleep until they have eaten their prey it means before we go to sleep you say Hashem is one of all of the negative spiritual forces are consumed in front of them they say blessed is the name of God's of God the honor of God's kingship forever bark and they run away but creation so the person has protection all day long we start off the day with a statement of God's kingship that protects us from the morning until the evening when we go to sleep and we finish off the day with the statement of Hashem you are my king you are my God I accept upon myself all of the menses I will do all the Commandments I want to bless you and I ask you to bless me should help us that we should be able to recognize the power the power the incredible spiritual power the incredible physical power of keeping the Torah we should be able to employ the tools the majors is offering us an incredible tool we use we're saying it anyway we say every single day twice a day some should help us to be able to take the opportunity to grab the opportunity like a lion we're supposed to get up in the morning like a lion and grab the missus should help us to be able to do so thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you
