Shalom and welcome to practical
spirituality here in the old city of
Jerusalem a shutaura overlooking the
Temple Mount there's a question on the
left yeah I could say a little on free
choice but that's not gonna be our
subject today but just just a little um
free choice is that I don't know how it
look by the way I just came out of the
desert and I've been I've been like a
couple hours in the mountains in the
desert and I just took off all my riding
gear and put on my clothes and I hope I
look somewhat presentable do I look okay
would you send me to school if I were a
little boy yeah okay great it's so
bizarre
I've been in the I've been in this lunar
landscape of the journey that Judean
Desert and in writing on these
rollercoaster rides of these just these
amazing trails that are about that wide
and they ride like that you're like I'm
a camel back riding down with giant
drops on either side of you and you're
just like shooting down these things
sometimes there's you're going down one
of those things and all of a sudden it's
a cliff not a big cliff just a bit of a
cliff and you just fly off and hit the
trail of them keep going it's so I've
just come from like an extreme
adrenaline three hours of extreme
adrenaline so it's like bizarre to be
standing in front of you right now but
I'm happy to be here it's my last class
for two and a half weeks here in Israel
again I'm announcing that Seattle walk
Seattle Washington this job is big Sheva
tone Seattle Washington and and then
I'll be in LA visiting my folks and then
I'll be in New York running a personal
growth seminar is the possible use
seminar in Muncie New York in two weeks
so anyone would like to be part of that
please go to the possible--you org and
get signed up did I make a broth
I talk I don't know and then in a minute
bring them shock ooh you big boss now
I'm gonna answer so everyone turn off
your phones now that we heard one of
them just someone asked about free wills
my friend over here what's your name
Charles from where my friend Charles who
I haven't seen in a while he's back
mmm okay great okay people from
Amsterdam done to sell you smoked weed
the whole time they're they're you know
they're from Amsterdam okay now anyway
the discussion of free will I like to
just go with the straight Kabbalistic
understanding of free will is that all
of your life is lived in I'm sorry
everything in the physical world is an
illusion and in that illusion you've
been given consciousness so you're this
conscious being floating through a video
game so to speak meeting a god has this
is a holographic projection that God's
projecting out of himself there's really
only God all there is is God but he's
but he's projecting this physical world
around us with all of its rules and all
of its laws and it always looks the same
each day and the stars are in the right
places you can bet on it
and it's these are moving it's all a
mathematical highly scientific reality
we're living in and but but it's coming
from God because all there is is God
ultimately how do I know that I know
that because before there was something
what was there nothing what does nothing
make nothing and so since nothing makes
nothing and before there was something
there was nothing and since nothing
makes nothing and now that there's
something it must be the nothing was
gone okay that's the four second proof
of God I'll say it again before there
was something there was nothing what
does nothing make you know if you have
nothing what do you get nothing and
before there was something there was
nothing since nothing makes nothing now
that there's something it must be the
nothing was God okay it's an
incontrovertible proof of God as long as
you can say before there was something
that was
but everybody says that whether you're
physicists whether you're scientist of
any time or whether you are a or you're
Jewish and you hold of the book of
Genesis which says before there was
something there was nothing you'd have
to be philosophical or some theorists to
start talking at positing there being
something before there was something but
everyone else says there was nothing and
that's what seems to be the case and so
this and we don't know what God is we
have no idea what God is but let me tell
you something if any of you figure out
how to make something from nothing we're
gonna call you God - we call God God
because he pulled that off
nothing ever ever has happened in the
physical world where something came out
of nothing the only time it ever
happened gave the title God to the
person to the being that did it that's
all God didn't mean anything either what
does God mean it's a symbol for being
that we have no idea what it is no nope
since all there was was this
consciousness called God what did God
used to create the world there's no home
depot it's no loud
Costco in heaven what did God used to
create the world if all there was was
himself what did he make the world out
of himself that's right
God created the world out of himself
okay and I'm only saying himself because
the masculine is causative and feminine
as a receiver okay that's a that's a
universal mystical reality is that
everything of cause whether you're a
female or a male human being when your
being in the causative when you're
asserting yourself in some way you're in
a masculine mode and when you're
receiving you're in a feminine mode and
all of us have to be able to play both
both cards but God is playing the
masculine card in as much as he is
creator and so we call him he the
physical world that he creates is
ultimately created out of himself
because if all there was was himself
what do you make the world out of
himself so what is the world really made
of himself so what so the world is
ultimately a holographic projection it's
an illusion a holographic projection
that God is projecting around you and
you should know that your soul your
consciousness the soul that you're that
you're in this room with like right now
I know your body's here but you're also
I mean I'm looking at all your eyes I
see everyone's conscious state I can't
see your eyes but everyone's conscious
State is here you're all conscious here
you're all conscious here which is not
your body
it's not your body your body and in your
brain your heart all those things are
reporting to the conscious state called
you and that is the soul at least in
some tiny part meaning the very outer
edge of your soul is that kind is where
your consciousness is and that
consciousness that you're experiencing
this room with right now is your is
really you and it's eternal too which is
amazing it never goes away the only
thing that really gets in his way is
your thoughts and your thoughts often
hijack it and make you believe your your
thoughts but your are not your thoughts
your are you have a consciousness and
your brain shoots thoughts to the
consciousness and your consciousness is
like an outfielder in baseball catching
the thoughts but what happens is if you
get if you're losing sight of the fact
that you're a conscious being inside a
physical body what happens is the
thoughts have so much context that you
start to believe your your thoughts your
thoughts will actually hijack you and
you'll believe your your thinking as
opposed to this conscious being this
consciousness of yours is eternal it's
part of God you are part of God
ultimately meaning you are your
consciousness and you and since the
consciousness part of God so you are
part of God and it's eternal
the only thing in the way is your brain
and one day you won't have a brain no
offense
meaning I don't mean to scare anybody
but but there's something called death
and part of death is being brain dead
and the brain dies and then all of a
sudden that lifts that tiny amount of
the soul that's in the consciousness
pulls up into the rest of the soul see
you have five levels of soul each level
has each of those five has two
relations of levels and so the highest
level is the level called the the
Yashida like the word of hot it's one
with everybody it's like if your feet
are on the floor right now don't put
your feet on the fourth floor a second
plant your feet and imagine your feet
now also go under the floor
spiritually and underneath the floor
it's like the earth under the floor is
all of our feet are connected to one
giant organism that each one of us is
popping up through in that one organism
that's underneath the floor
it's called you PETA it's where all the
souls are one then there's a part of
your soul called the highe and all of
its levels then there's a part of your
soul called in neshama then there's a
soul part of your so called the Ruach
then there's a salt part of your soul
called the nefesh and at the very bottom
of the EFT nefesh like right about with
a little white part of your fingernail
is at the edge of your fingernail that
little thin part is the USB cable
interface with your neurons which tell
you your thoughts tell the thoughts but
again they hijack you because how many
people are really in touch with that
conscious self of theirs their soul how
many people really in touching that very
few people only meditators and
spiritually dedicated people people who
are who are people who are can what do
you call it um disciplined thinkers
people are involved in mystical
traditions they have that people who
spend time meditating in Kabbalah and
also obviously people taking psychedelic
compounds are in touch with these this
true consciousness which is which is who
you really are this is why so many
people drop addictions after they have a
mystical experience of any of the above
mentioned that you'd never think that
drugs are how you get off of off of
addictions but even the leader of
Alcoholics Anonymous
at one point wanted to introduce LSD to
Alcoholics Anonymous because that was
the number one and still is the number
one mystical state that removes ones
issues that are causing them to need to
numb themselves with addiction it's a
not an easy process I mean obvi
they're going through a lot in that
process I mean that's not an easy thing
but at least it's a one-time thing and
they don't want to ever look at alcohol
again so it's a yeah he himself wanted
to introduce LSD to Alcoholics Anonymous
anyway all of these experiences are
ultimately to get you to be a conscious
being and not just your thoughts no I
don't know about the United States
evasive and all the Western countries
evasive whether they whether they want
us to believe we are our thoughts but
you could almost paint a picture that
Western ISM and if any of you were
raised in the world of West and
including their war on drugs which has
certain way more people than drugs would
have ever heard they their war on drugs
but it could be that you could actually
make quite a case for the fact that they
don't want you having mystical
experiences because mystical experiences
make you less apt to go buy new things
cosmetics or renew your car every three
years or or or have you in deep
competition with with other people to
get a bigger slice of the pie of the
physical world which is anyway you're
all gonna get taken away from you when
you die but if someone knows that
they're conscious being is who they are
so then they're they last forever your
forever and therefore you're not going
to spend a lot of time investing in
things that anyway get ripped out from
under you when you die because
everything you're invested in is the
stuff that lasts forever you make your
decisions based on eternity besides
obviously some mountain bike rides or
craft beer I mean there's nothing wrong
with that at a good time but the but
your main decisions are based on the
eternity and that's why we spend a lot
of time investing in family in our world
because in the Jewish world in the Torah
world we want to spend as much time
possible yeah literally literally I need
a good word what do you call what a
virus would do in
infusing infecting the world with
consciousness yeah but we want to go
viral we want to go viral in that and
the best way to go viral in helping the
world become a world of spirituality of
voice which is the Kohl of Yaakov the
voice of Jacob to get the world to go
voice over hands which is
industriousness duster revolution
Western ISM mechanization atom bombs
ozone layer instead of going hands we
want to go voice voices spirituality and
we want the world to go voice well the
best way to go voice is have as many
kids as you can cuz they're really the
only people you'll ever influence in a
real big way they're the ones you'll
influence that's why it says that
Abraham it meaning Abraham and Sarah had
a lot of impact on people but in the end
it all boiled down to Isaac cuz he grew
up in his home and so your chance your
biggest chance to make a difference in
this world is your children so you want
to have a lot of them I come from a
radical environmentalist background
radical environmentalism is basically
the kind of club you don't want anyone
to know you're part of because they do a
lot of illegal things to protect the
environment and I was part of one of
those organizations which is called
Earth first and or the first is like
really out there in their tactics and
obviously I don't believe in them
I don't believe anymore in such things
but in the at the time I was in earth
firster and we earth first people
generally don't get married and have
children because because overpopulation
lack of resources so when I when I
visited America with my eight children I
a couple of my old earth first buddies
came to a party at my parents house and
they see me walk in the house with my
wife and then we had like ducklings you
know like I won't have the other
following us into the house and and my
earth first people were just like
astounded and especially me because like
I knew more than they did about you know
which which companies are like burning
rainforests for grazing lands and why we
won't support those companies and like I
knew everything about
wouldn't support any company that had
any negative impact on the environment
I'm just I know we're on a parenthetical
point right now but I'm actually gonna
do another parenthetical point that this
level of living your truth is everything
about Judaism meaning so many people so
many people think that they can just
keep the 613 laws and all the helices of
how to keep the 613 meaning how you do
it
which is all the shul Anaru people think
you can just do that and then just go be
a litter bug and a chain-smoker and an
overweight consumer and and and think
they're into truth and they literally
convince themselves that they're into
truth but that's not called truth truth
is something that that cuts through
every every element of reality it's
gonna be everywhere it's and from your
self-care to your self-talk to your to
your way you did where you deal with
your own personal carbon footprint on
this planet that's all part of truth so
don't think you can just put on a pair
of cosmic dental floss and start
ignoring everything you gotta know where
your food comes from you got to know
who's being affected you got to know
what the what the whole chain is what's
happening be be be a truthful person in
every way not just in how you pray
anyway but that was another parenthesis
so I told them they finally sat me down
and the earth firster set in Rev and
they said Rebbe although they did not
say reviewing them they said Glaser you
knew you know more about environmental
and environmentalism than we do what's
with all these kids and amazing timing
cuz we're sitting on the cliffs my
parents lived on the cliffs overlooking
Malibu I'll be there next week yeah I'll
have you an all of mine while I'm
sipping a cold beer looking at the
Pacific Coast after a nice surf session
anyway the I just made my mountain bike
plans to for LA this morning anyway the
but just as they're speaking my kids go
flying down the bluffs overlooking the
ocean why because a rapper
of something went shooting down and my
kids are all after it they're gonna know
they're gonna make sure there's no
litter anyway but while that happened
they said what's with all these kids
what's with all these kids I said so
when you're creating more the problem
you should definitely think about having
less but when you're creating the
solution you should have as many as
possible I've created eight solutions
and their teachers tell me at the end of
every year that that I was right when I
told them at the beginning of the year
that please pay extra attention to this
kid because this kids being was born and
raised to make a difference in this
planet and I want you to just put a
little extra into him to make sure that
he's gonna have what it takes when he
gets old enough to actually make that
impact there was no selfishness in my
wife and my children it was every kid
was very much what's the word very much
thought through and what we were doing
was very deliberate
it was extremely deliberate my wife and
I were fed up with this planet we're
shocked the place hasn't fallen through
space already from the weight of his
problems if I can quote Michael McDonald
from the Doobie Brothers it goes like
this he says I heard it said about the
weight of the world's problems is enough
to make the ball fall right through
space I heard it said that the weight of
the world's problems is enough to make
the ball all right through space carry
over the whisperers
it ain't easy camera
nothing made the ball fall Raptors be
[Music]
with all that's going on let me just go
down and say that I'm glad to be do do
do do do it with all the same pain some
may think that bone to be king maybe
that's true but I think spreading love
around
Tilton is all we were meant to do let
them build their kingdoms come on let
them take their the hospital this world
to you oh you and I make life with Hank
nope right here
Nietzsche the sons I'm here too okay
so sorry I didn't think I was gonna be
singing today I've like I realize now I
kind of woke up prayed and went to the
mountains my voice has not warmed up
even in the least bit yeah anyways so it
ain't even easy to live with all that's
going around some like okay now
you are a conscious being moving through
a holographic godly reality which is
called ready for this it's called the
divine the divine is not God we use the
word loosely and that's fine you're
certainly welcome to it's okay to use
the word to mine but but the word
literally the word divine literally
means how God is existing through an
entire metaphysical world all the way
into our physical world but this is all
part of the divine everything is part of
the divine even the dark side as part of
the divine
everything is made of this stuff and
you're a conscious being flowing through
it you know what your body is your
bodies your avatar your body's just an
avatar I can get around with so let me
just make let me just get this real
clear here we're inside the mind of God
everything here is just a holographic
projection your consciousness is what's
floating through it your body is the
avatar that yours consciousness has been
given to walk around with it's covered
in it's covered actually in in sensors
it's covered in nerve endings these are
all sensors for you like to send info to
the neurons which which then report them
to your consciousness the only other
thing that I could tell you that's super
cosmic about all that is that there is
no such thing as time as God's doing
this now it has only done this now past
and future are a part of your psychology
meaning your ability to remember this
mean it's really important by the way
it's not a bad thing
it's just not necessarily real the your
past is really important for you to
navigate the future that's good stuff
but creation itself only takes place now
and it's never left the now there's
never been a there's never such a thing
as past and there's never such a thing
as the future there never has been such
a thing there is only now that's all God
does God creates now I mean think of
how silly it would it be for God to
create yesterday right now I mean that's
ridiculous
or tomorrow also ridiculous so who is
God creating an hour ago answer no is it
creating an hour from now that'd be
ridiculous that'd be silly is creating a
minute ago is it creating a minute from
now just creating a second ago it's
creating a second from now no where is
God like where does God usb-cable
interface with creation the answer is
now in we're here well everywhere but
here and now here and now and which is
really funny because a lot of you have
been like postponing your God experience
you know like you you know let's say
you're on your ll flight and you're
thinking like on a Lal you know you're
on an ll flight and the person sitting
next to says are you going to Israel you
like you and they're like so you want
you gonna have a God experience on it
and you'll you'd probably you know Jews
are gonna deny that if it was a
Christian they're like sure Jesus talk
to me every day so you know they're
always having their guy but we we don't
have you know these kinds of things we
are connected to the actual creator of
the universe and the but what you've
been doing is postponing your God
experience as if maybe it's gonna happen
at the Kotel this Shabbat like when you
planning on having your gun experience
everybody you've been here for a while
when when were you planning on it I mean
are you all like is it for like next
Tuesday and you're gonna like prepare
for it for a week or something and when
when was your God experience supposed to
happen on your trip to Israel well I'd
like to suggest that it's happening
right now well if the only creation is
happening via God into this world now
this would be the God experience
excellent
you do me a favor hit off the AC
everyone get ready to snap I'm four one
two three four together on four will
snap one two three breathe
welcome to the God experience what do
you think so far
some you're a little looking a little
disappointed you're probably from the
postponed earth I wasn't ready for the
guy experience let's try it again on
before we're gonna snap this time
everyone get ready if you're chewing gum
get rid of it please never have God
experiences while chewing gum okay here
we go on three
one two before we snap one two three
some of you might be like what's gonna
happen something gonna happen and the
answer is it's happening it's been
happening it always was happening you
were just not aware that it's happening
all around you the God experience is
happening all the time I mean there's
higher levels and lower levels you could
be wearing a pair to fill them right now
some of you men that might be good you
could be at the Kotel but you can be
anywhere it's always the God experience
when have you ever had an experience
that wasn't the gut experience it's
always the gut experience a lot of us
are are what you'd call peak experience
junkies I certainly used to be like I
postponed everything until the peak
experiences what happened planning these
trips I would take and I was a peak
experience junkie I just needed to have
that I had to be hit in the face with
something that feel like something was
happening like I was alive I had to be
riding a 20-foot waver or riding on some
extreme mountain like trail or something
that just to start feeling my pulse and
then of course there was all kinds of
other ways to alter consciousness to you
know other ways of altering
consciousness to try to feel the
experience of life but I'll give you a
claw a principle you ready for the
principle I can write it down if you
want spiritual people sensitize
themselves to the subtlety of God in the
moment I'll say it again spiritual
people sensitize themselves to the
subtlety of God in the moment it's not a
spiritual person who postponed
spirituality even if they do it like to
actually go do stuff that's spiritual
but you know okay great you did some
extreme move that led to spirituality
but how about no extreme move how about
just beamed
I'll say it one last time just in case
you didn't get it spiritual people
sensitize themselves to the subtlety of
God in the moment and when I'm saying
God here I'm talking about the divine
there's a whole all kinds of meditations
about God himself but the divine is is
pulsing pulsing with God's creation he
creates it now so this is the God
experience so your question was about
freewill and the answer is is that every
time you have a choice to make which is
more often than you think
every time you have a choice to make
you're in the illusion of the divine
that has now appeared with a fork in the
road of a choice meaning you're now at a
fork there's no real fork and there's
really only God there's no Road there's
only God there's no you this is just an
avatar and the you is this consciousness
but that consciousness has been made
aware by the physical world around him
or her of a choice that needs to be made
and so you make that choice and you want
to make a good choice which means if
it's the more important the choice gets
the more you're gonna need a mentor to
help you make that choice don't make
important choices alone ever
that's another principle never make
important choices on your own we're
almost there I'm going there doing we
never make important choices on your own
I've lived by that since I'm a little
kid it has led my way like nothing else
never make important choices alone I
mean I'm really examine I don't even
make unimportant choices I feel bad for
my wife I call her sometimes I mean not
all the time but there's an unimportant
choice and I just can't seem to choose
and I'm not a coin flipper my brother
Sam he's a coin flipper he actually
speaking the Doobie Brothers
he was just in I forget what state he
travels every
week two another state he's a wrap
traveling rabbi musician and he anyway
he he just happened to find out whatever
town he was in that the Doobie Brothers
were playing and he so he flipped a coin
whether to go or not and said to go the
person he had no ticket the person he's
standing but this is the way we roll
person he was standing behind his ticket
wasn't working a nice expensive ticket
wasn't working and so the lady says
we're so sorry listen we're gonna comp
you even better tickets and gives him
their tickets and my brother just says
to the guy what he can be doing with
your ticket and he said you take it and
so there he was ninth row Center for the
Doobie Brothers anyway but they it's a
yes world everyone say it's a yes world
yes again it's a yes world yes world
raise your hands if you'd like that
feeling of saying yes to people
sometimes meaning when they need
something and they you could do it you
got a little time and it's and you can
get it done for them Regt if you like
that
raise your and hi i want you guys to see
how many hands are up keep them up hi
let me just show the world just your
hands look hands are up there everybody
okay keep those hands up smile okay how
do I go into that was it this oh no
that's not good well there it is
did you notice that almost everyone had
their hands up what kind of world is
this everyone repeat yes it's a yes
world but you know how you've been
living your life in a no world because
your I understand you I have the say
mission my biggest fear is rejection I
really want you people to like me I have
a terrible fear of rejection a horrible
fear of social you know social anxiety
and stuff like it's really it has had
more impact on my life than probably any
other thing that's ever impacted me a
lot of things have impacted me but my
fear of rejection is my far has had the
biggest impact on my life
and it actually almost killed me I mean
I was gonna my colon removed over it
because they all of my social anxiety
was hitting my digestive system and I
healed it and from the healing that I I
didn't heal it meaning I the work that I
did healed it and and ever since then I
run that work my workshops are all
really based on me being able to keep my
colon from really deep work that I did
anyway that's why I'm standing in front
of you today and relaxed and enjoying
you guys is because because I worked it
through but it's still the fear the
fears there I just AM able to get in
front of it instead of always stuck
behind it anyway long story short about
a yes world is why have you been living
as if it's a no world because when your
cuz no is what we know is rejection and
it's the most popular fear in the world
rejections the most popular fear in the
world of the five fears rejections that
most popular and it's it's and so it's
much better to do things yourself except
that means you're not networking in
God's world
well it's don't forget that this world's
an illusion it's all really Hashem
everything is made of well it's not
Yemen's divine its Eliquis everything's
made of the aloe cous of a Shem and all
these people are happy to say yes and
they don't even exist really because
everything is the divine so when you
need to get something done you network
that thing you get it done with a
network you network your way around the
world
and people love it just like you love it
I don't raise their hands cuz you love
it I say yes to people for crazy stuff
crazy stuff I mean yes man I mean yes
man everyone try that I mean I'm a yes
person try that I mean yes person and
you want to know some what goes around
comes around because I'm a yes person
the answer is always yes to me I showed
up Friday you know you know the story I
showed up Friday to to have Rome to go
pray at the cave and must pay law in
honor of the Shabbat of when Abraham
bought the plot of land for for his wife
Sarah to bury her and I thought well
what an opportune day to go
say Psalms that you know go do some
prayers for the for many people and and
I'll go pray there good day to go pray
there what I didn't realize is there's
40,000 other people with the same idea
and they're coming for Shabbat you know
which means they want to get close and
they want to park and they want to stay
there and I didn't know that so I mean
maybe I'm naive but I showed up and
there was roadblocks already outside the
town checking your papers to see if you
had any permission even get in the town
with your vehicle
anyway eight roadblocks later what was
the answer each time it was the answer
each time yes every single find your
phone you lost someone oh you bet you
find it no so sorry
see I mean Hashem you Molly at his own
car I mean listen Jim's gonna miss him
return you your stuff now guys is for it
and I got a lot left to say we're almost
done but we got to get it done
anyway it was yes all the way through
and every cop who's a specific job was
to say no every single cop who's was
given the job invested to say no said
yes every cop and my line was very
simple I came here to pray I'm not here
for Shabbat I just came here to pray but
and it's car full of people no I found
out later dinner that my 19 year old
daughter had the window open
and you know he looks to see who's in
this car you know as part of a cop's job
at a roadblock you know he looks in the
car and my daughter my 19 year old
daughter is like this in the window
going
that's right that's right
easy does yeah and and all the rest of
the kids are saying an ode Nevada an
oatmeal Vonda pain or milada what does
that mean there's nothing but God this
is all an illusion there's no street
there's no cop there's no roadblock
there's no nothing all there is is guy
so they're just saying this with deep
intention a Nord Nevada my job is sad
came to pray and my daughter I found out
later was going like that have a surgery
like that anyway next we know were
parked at the great we parked right at
the grave the last guy didn't trust me
which is I understand I mean he's really
the last stand he didn't trust me so he
took my ID he took my ID so you you can
get it back when you drive out you know
there's this last like descent into the
actual inner world of Machpelah there
listen are we really making choices in
God's world no we are not cuz it's all
the divine everything is the divine but
are we experiencing choice yes or no yes
one more thing about the yes person that
I'm a yes person just one more thing I
forgot to mention this where would you
be today if you knew everyone would say
yes since you were a kid I mean you were
born like genetically resistant to being
afraid of rejection and so you just
started asking for whatever you needed
where would you be today I promise every
one of you would be in a completely and
totally different place today if you had
seen it as a yes world you'd be you just
wouldn't be sitting here right now you'd
be in a completely different place well
I suggested from this moment onward that
you see it as a yes world please say
it's a yes world say it together it's a
yes world and I'm a yes person
great does that mean you can never say
no of course you can say no and that's
why God gave you a brain you know use
your brain say no when it knows
appropriate but you'll be shocked how
often you say yes
gonna be shocked okay now one thing do
we really every well know everything's
the divine but do you have an experience
of free well yes and one say yes yeah
you sure do have an experience I mean I
just got through the biggest micro
choices when I was out there on the
mountains there and I also got lost a
little bit on the top of some of those
desert mountains and had to make a bunch
of choices and stuff wasn't an illusion
yeah all there is is God had god forbid
something happen to me I would
immediately be in the spiritual world
and my body would have just been on the
mountain I would have been meaning that
little last membrane of the snitch
that's USB cable into my conscious mind
would have just gone like it would have
just gone like hey where the hell am I
you know and what would happen if we
would have gotten United with the rest
of the nephesh all of the rocks all in
the trauma all the high-end all the
ether it would all been United and I'd
been like yeah it would have been really
awesome it would have been really sad
your class would have been a bummer and
and I'm sure you'd get over it but my
family pry be totally bereft forever you
know they would like never ever be the
same but you know there's a reason we
dance at rebbi shimon 'he's your site
cuz rebbi shimon bar yohai the author of
the Zohar taught us all the kabbala that
I'm teaching you now he's the one who
taught us all this so he commanded that
live music and dancing at his at his
home aside wedding because it's called a
he Luna which means the wedding the he
looted the bar Yohai the wedding of the
barrio height why because while you're
in this world it's like you're divorced
no let's call it separated while you're
in this world you're separated and when
you do a mitzvah it's like hey let's
give it a try let's give it another try
when you do another Mitzvah you doing
give it another try but otherwise you're
separated and when you die you're you're
back together again
okay but there's no time anyway there
it's it's not a comfortable experience
to deal with all the negativity you
might have brought into the world I mean
we all have a big spiritual footprint as
well not just a physical carbon
footprint on the environment but we also
have a spiritual footprint on the world
and and you may have to you may have to
deal with some of that you will have to
deal with some of that but hopefully
very little of it because you're all
smart people and a smart person would do
Chouhan before they die you know you'd
have to be a total idiot to not do
chuhwa on a regular basis I mean anyone
who waits around for Yom Kippur is like
you know you needs an IQ test and some
serious ginkgo and Gilboa or something I
don't know he's gotta get his mind get
his head on his shoulders cuz you'd have
to be a knucklehead to wait for Yom
Kippur for chuhwa you know who says
you're gonna die the day before the day
after Yom Kippur who says that's gonna
happen you know you could what if you
die later in the air or any other part
of the year so therefore you do Chouhan
when you do something wrong you chew
over right away
keep your slate clean because you never
know when you're gonna go and I bless
I'm gonna live a nice long life anyway
God's doing the whole thing so can you
go upstairs after 120 years I bless
everybody we have 120 years in good
health in good health I don't want one
of you guys like 119 years old you
haven't walked in 20 years and you're
just like okey
120 years in good health and and the
when you get upstairs do you think one
of it your one of your answers you get
to give for your ridiculous job you did
down here no offense what do you think
when he answers when gods like what the
hell was that when he's reviewing your
life he's just yep anything the Savior's
own for all of that craziness you put
your spouse through just kidding did you
have anything to save for all that and
then your answer it you can come in you
can get a soundbite a little I'm on my
last soundbite so what are you gonna say
to God well I tell you one of the things
you're not gonna say is but god I
learned a little Kabbalah it was all you
there's only you it was all an illusion
so how can you possibly bust me for
being in you I was a figment of your
imagination so you can't bust me for
making stupid choices in my life it was
all you you did it he did it
yeah like Adam you know yeah you know
she maybe do it the snake did it anyway
um the bottom line if you can't go to
God and say he did it you know what
God's gonna say to you his first thing
is gonna say idiot idiot
that's how it's gonna start and then the
next words are gonna be you had an
experience of choice you yourself
experienced choice you always had that
very real experience of choice every
time you had a choice you always
experienced choice
and so therefore your choices are real
with a lowercase R God is real with a
capital R your choices are real with a
lowercase R and I want to tell you
something
if the realm that you'll ultimately be
in was where that conversation took
place you might have a way to have the
conversation but it doesn't take place
there it's in it's part of the
metaphysical world the metaphysical
worlds where you go
meaning dars our physical role and then
you go into the metaphysical world and
then there's layers and layers you have
to get through them are you turn the AC
Beca there's layers and layers and you
have to get through them but you're not
gonna be able to say to God it's all you
cuz you're gonna be in those layers at
the time anyway I've gone over time so I
bless you all
I'll see in two-and-a-half weeks I'm
having amazing two and half weeks
