How to Pump Pump Pump Your Soul

Shulman welcome to practical spirituality here adacia to her in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the Temple Mount how do you pump up your soul so we're always in a battleground between body and soul you're always in a battle like that like for example let's you guys tell me body or soul okay everyone say body or soul you're walking down a street let's say in the Old City of Jerusalem and you see up ahead like thirty feet ahead you see a you see a beggar as someone's collecting sadaqa now your first thought is like toll booth toll booth yeah body or soul what voice is that between the two voices that's a body voice toll booth and so and then you have another voice saying hey this person made it to the streets like the least you can do is give a little something what voice is that so voice if you reach in your pocket you're like thank God that our fingertips have so many nerve endings because the Schneck all the - here's a one oh did I find a 50-hour oh yes yes and then you pull out your you're about to pull out your 50 or you already pulled it out you're ready to pay the toll by the way how much is fifty a garrote in US dollars 13 cents you wouldn't give 13 cents to your enemies cheapskate what voice is that okay so first of all the one that was happy about the the 13 sent 50-yarder Oh which boys and then you're like you wouldn't give 13 cents to your enemies soul so you reach back in and you're like oh here's a shekel how much is a shekel like not not something you can you can't possibly be much effort to that guy I mean that's just an horrible humiliation of you really you should be humiliated handing a shekel but meanwhile we all are so proud of ourselves we're all just like here's your 27 shirt sir as we walk through in our shoes that are like you know that we ordered on Amazon for God knows how much you know and anyway but we hand in mark we proudly hand them our 27 cents but when we go through the let me go through the actual Tollbooth we're like okay let's just get through this which voice body voice and then you say yeah the least you could do is say hello which voice is that so please and then they're like okay hello we'll give him a hello that's it which boys hey what if you gave him a bra going through this all day all day you're gonna you're already falling you're about to take seconds which voice buddy they're all asking you if you wanted a whole weight are white and you're like well take it on the whole week please it's a soul cuz you can eat the white you know meaning the less healthy you eat the heavier body gets the less soul voice you got the heavier body is the less soul voice you got if your body's feeling lethargic then you're it's gonna speak louder if your body's feeling lean mean and clean you're gonna your soul is gonna have more of a voice they're gonna be more present you're gonna have more voice and this is why having your body and top health is so important you gotta have your body full flexibility coordination stamina strength balance these things got to be happening now you also got to fuel up so you got to eat the cleanest fuel you can you want your fuel to be as close to the original a source as possible the least being adulterated by human hands and then what happens your body just shuts up it's like your your body shut something in the soul speaks up so a lot of people especially today in the black hat world one and like pretend that that keeping healthy is like Greek you know they love like the little kids kind of coloring books you know shows the modern day little black hat community at Hanukkah books shows the little kid like like the the Greek kids going to the gym and the Jewish kids like laden with books and he's going to study he's kind of leans one way cuz he's always wearing the thing on this side any but even when he takes the thing off he still leans cuz cuz he's been doing this for years now and and the and so that's called soul but the truth is and you could go visit the hospitals for this one is that you know it's really hard to feel your soul when you're in some ward in the hospital because you didn't care for yourself and and it's not very soulful to die young because your arteries couldn't take the the situation not to mention the the poverty that can come with with with Torah study can be create stress in one's life and which leads to many many ailments that kind of stress so so these are these are not healthy ways to be living one's life and not to mention leaning on Society in in leaning on society in a way that's that's affecting you emotionally as well because the fear of rejection of you know like having a lien on people means you're gonna have to call them and it gets uncomfortable talk word and and whatever it's the whole thing's a bit of a nightmare and so it's something that you want to you want to watch out for and and I'll tell you the truth that that there are many people in this world who are great Torah scholars who are making if I can speak a little French beaucoup de Laurie's big bucks who are serious Torah scholars and it is not a conflict at all to be doing that it could be even a few hours a day of work can when done smart can make you lots of money while being a Torah scholar at the same time and that's not for everybody that some people just want to live a more ascetic life except in the end they're gonna be leaning on the aesthetic people's lives no okay so that's your body in your soul voice and you're always in a battleground you have to embrace the battle because those of us who want to run from the battle will you tell me what happens to someone on a battleground who wants to pretend they're not on a battleground they die right not a good thing to do you don't want to say you know what I'm tired of this battle we're in I'm gonna pretend there's no battle you're gonna get it and we do meet people we do me people you probably know people your age who are just tired of battling and you you literally watch them spiral downward until you know until they're flushed totally down the toilet like you literally watched them spiral down there and really they were just tired there's tired and then after a while they stay like they can't live with themselves because they're doing so many stupid things so then they start poking at God maybe there's no God maybe tours not true like the guy they can't live with themselves so they gotta like get rid of God somehow how could we get rid of God for this you know this is like jus turned on a link you know like cuz they're just tired of being in a battle tired of being in battle they're starting to lose the battle and they're starting and the only thing they can get rid of now to feel better about themselves is is God but we've got to pump up that soul voice so how do we get that done and just last the last muscle I'd like to give is a very short film called Bambi versus Godzilla okay you guys have watched the film Bambi converse Godzilla it's really short yeah I mean it's extremely short Bambi doesn't do so well against Godzilla you know the base of the whole movie just shows it's just Bambi like the green and the forest and whatever you know and then and then you see a Godzilla's footprint sorry shadow his foot coming down and then the movies over it's a really short movie anyway but the the sole voice the soul is so subtle compared to the body the body is like got great immediacy and this world the soul is is is you know really salient it's it's you know it's not so clear you can't do for example the body you could video like I could video you sitting here I can't video your soul I can't video that this muscle at all it just doesn't show up that way so how do you pump it up so various ways of pump you know we already mentioned a couple but I'll just repeat those one is eating healthfully another thing is to is to avoid all negative Commandments negative Commandments when someone ignores negative Commandments they wind up the body voice gets much stronger so you want to act with accuracy and precision to avoid negative Commandments another one is to to be around very very spiritual people I mean take the person who's like the most irresponsible person you've ever met because they're so spiritual I mean like really irresponsible and you should never be like that person by the way I'm talking about people who are just like so far out I mean they're like they're like a kite without a string they are a helium balloon without a string they're just floating in air and you make sure you see that person every day and learn something from them each day meaning they're they themselves are like they're Corbett and they're like a they're like that I mean their life is a total I don't even know how to stack how to translate the word that there are Corbett meaning they like I pity the fool married to someone like this yeah cuz no they're definitely not making Chaves or changing diapers that's for sure you know they're on their way to yoga or something but anyway find the most flighty spiritual person you can ever find and and spend some time with that person every day and get get yourself get your soul pumped up from them because there are people like this there are people who are just barely tethered to this world now if you want to make that even better you can find someone who's what's called a ribbon you can find a rabbit not too easy to find rabbits because most rabbits these days are politicians but there are these hidden gems out there and I'm connected to one of them and I usually go on Thursday nights I might go this Thursday night as well and even though I'm running a program till 11:00 so maybe I won't go see how strong I'm feeling but the but you find the same person who's like barely tethered to this world and my teacher is ruff show'em Freedman he lives in betar I used to go no matter what but he just moved to bate are in the last year or two and now now it's like I need strength to go there especially if I'm running a program so anyway find that person a raise your hand if you have that person in your life amazing so four of you by the way I'm that person for a lot of other people for a lot of people I am that person but but I'm telling you I'm nothing compared to some people I'm I'm hanging around I mean these are people who like it's a miracle they're even alive you know like for example my teacher he only sleeps two hours a day except on Thursdays and Fridays he doesn't sleep at all and he only eats the amount of food that will keep his body alive he had to go the doctor he start getting sick so he goes the darkness doctor says what do you eat he says well I eat two slices of white bread and the doctors like why white bread he says well it has the most ingredients it's got a ton of different things in it and doctors like yeah and he's like well they come from all over the world the doctors like yeah he's like well if I eat something that has thing that has ingredients from all over the world it I'm raising up all of those different places the doctors like you're gonna die you're gonna die doing this little elevator experiment of yours you know and so the doctors said listen good in there and the Rebbe was like not willing to go down from this two slices of a day you know so the Rebbe the doctor said listen you're gonna have to switch to whole-wheat he's like there's not as many ingredients he says you know what why don't you make a whole wheat sandwich you'll put two slices of white bread one slice of whole wheat in the middle and you'll have a whole wheat sandwich and the Rebbe agreed and he and he never got sick again he's been going for like ten years on his on this sandwich that he eats the whole wheat sandwich and this is really out there you know I've never seen him eat a meal and I've sat with him Shabbos Sookie's you know yelling tell you even russia's gonna like i've sat with him never seen him put down food you know a bite of soup and then he sends it to the them I bite a fish I get a little bite he sends it to the casino and you're with him for five hours but one thing he does during those meals he drinks a lot of alcohol which is really weird I mean he drinks more alcohol in one sitting then I could drink in like a week you know that would be like my Purim intake and he's doing this every Shabbos meal what in the world is going on with this person yeah with no food no food for years like 40 years he's going like this anyway you need someone in your life like this someone in your life who's just like out there and you better find someone like that because you're way too in here and you need to be you there are human examples of out there and you shouldn't be like them by the way cuz it's it's really irresponsible to be like that and so I'm at the meeting I would never do what he's doing ever you know I'm into sports I'm into like nutrition I mean like stretching and flexibility and and and hot baths and like massage therapy and stuff you know like like I'm totally in this world which means all the more so I need someone not in this world so everybody find that person that's not in this world and learn from them learn from them let them teach you the ways of the soul and and it's had its really I have to say it's done wonders in my life in fact I would never ever be standing in front of you every day teaching the classes I do if it wasn't for this person he is the only reason that I have anything to say to you it all comes from him so so that's that's a big one in pumping up pumping up the soul another thing is to slow it all down you got to make one slow slow something a day you got to just do something slow per day and I suggest a brothel make one slow brother a day that will pump up the soul obviously you gotta know what the brothel Amin's but I have classes online I think it's called the anatomy of a brothel and but you can find my brothel meditations online I even have some that it's an hour per word it's like meaning I give over an hour about Beluga an hour about at ah an hour about a shrimp but once you learn those things make one slope Ruffa a day where you just go all the way there because a lot of us were just skipping these things I mean it's almost like the brothels in the way of your food and you need to like get it out of the way in order to get to the food so that's that's the rough up doing a really slow profit you getting all this oh great you're welcome I'm not gonna go into general mitzvahs and stuff because that's the whole point of them is to pump up the salt so I'm not gonna do so much of that but but another thing that I would mention is to be involved in daily meditation daily meditation which just means deep breathing and and real focus the word meditation means focus means to focus on one thing at a time that's the literal translation so just a little of that every day a little deep breathing and focus that will that will ignite the soul very much for you and I feel like I'm missing stuff for pumping up the soul here yeah anyone else here would like to add things for pumping up the soul yeah myosin Italian okay I wouldn't have thought of that directly as pumping up a soul but it it's certainly a nice thing to do and I think it takes care of the body voice quite a bit so to least default you back to the body the soul voice anyone else got got a yeah what's that I'm not a big his motor this guy but have you noticed that pumps up the soul boys I've heard from people that if they do it if someone goes out and does an hour a day of his boat adduce every day like they go out and like spend an hour ten hours kind of a lot to shoot the pic like chew it the first time but but that that your that your belief in God is set forever I mean you'll never ever lose just anyone that's struggling with belief in God an hour a day of his bonus is all you need for just to get it meaning you can stop after a little while but I personally not at his footage of Skype I'm to eighty HD for that and you had one yeah gratitude okay anyone else soul voice I'd say probably the biggest thing of all is learning learning Jewish mysticism if you study Jewish mysticism like for example there's a book written by The Ballad Tanya it's it's part of the safer Tanya but it's the middle book it's called sharikov Emunah if you read that book you will have such a soul you'll have like this burst of soul soul voice and you can literally just read the first chapter you can read your over and over again you could read the first second and third chapter and be done and it'll change your life forever like that one book again it's called char you so Devan Munna which means the gates of unity and faith I don't know how you translate them but I mean you gotta have the biggest hits of hard to not read that because because it's such a basic thing you can open it up if you can open up in English you don't have to be a genius to understand it it totally changes the way you use say Shama totally change the way you make broth us and it's one tiny chapter and it's a total GameChanger so and I would read I would read a couple of those tiny chapters read them deep read them with a friend and wow yourselves together like freak out with it like I chant I tend to enjoy it much more with someone because we're both like and you it's like a roller coaster ride it's just reading this this one chapter or a couple of the chapters but but definitely that's it that's a big way to pump up the soul voice is to reach our use of them when it's it's a really really special and simple path to spirituality tell them everybody have a beautiful day
