Rabbi Yom Tov Practical Spirituality: Mind Expansion Part 1

Shalom and welcome to practical spirituality here adacia torah in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the Temple Mount and today we're discussing mind expansion and the reason we're discussing that is by popular demand and this gentleman here what's your name Josh josh Josh there's a question a couple other people do as well so what's your question okay so there's a question about using using substances this question is about using substances to actually what's the word to put something your body to ingest substances that cause mind expansion what was your question what's your name man yeah yeah is it possible to achieve the same thing so he mentioned a pharmaceutical II created compound called LST also known for its ability of expanding the consciousness and your question was how can we can we get there using just pure Jewish practice okay can we get there using Jewish practice anyone else hadn't want to add to the flavor of the questions someone else has a curiosity that's within that realm no okay great so let's begin and just set up the camera here yeah people love seeing who's in the class by the way I keep getting these comments going like show the people show the people I'm like what am i that boring like we'll look at you for an hour straight gets old you know like show the people they want to see the people anyway now the so let's just discuss a contract it can constricted consciousness versus expand it let's get that done we've got constricted consciousness is often the result of low moods like when you're in low mood you're gonna be in a more constricted consciousness also can be anytime you're wrong harmed in any way and will lead to a more constricted consciousness constriction consciousness also tends to find itself around our fears the five fears are you know the five years of life the fear of rejection meaning we'll be in a more constricted consciousness if we're worried about being rejected maybe to a reception wedding reception or something where or any other social context of being rejected there are even a family context so rejection the next fear is fear failure and that's you know just your own personal performance and and when you're ever feeling doubtful that you're gonna be able to perform the way you need to to make a living or whatever it is you're doing you're more likely gonna be in a constricted consciousness then obviously fear the third fear is the fear of being controlled by others which is you know a huge fear and obviously very constricting whether that be government law enforcement parents administrators rabbis bosses you know spouses you know there's a lot of a lot of a lot of potential control out there that could control us and so we're gonna find ourselves very much in constricted conscient in fact one of the main sources for constricted consciousness in the Jewish world is the slavery of Egypt where we were completely out of control meaning uh we had no control of our own handiwork we were slaves and that's the ultimate constricted consciousness they say that we were so enslaved at a certain point because it was over 200 years of slavery so we were so enslaved at a certain point that we wouldn't even try to escape because think about it if I enslaved you Meir you'd be freaking out right but what if your great-great grandchild was later born into slavery know that one of your great-great grandchild was born a slave yeah you shut the door it's welcome by the way yes yes well he would think he's free if you're born into slavery that's all you know yeah that's all you know it's so born into slavery you can be meaning you could be born into constricted consciousness and and and they say that they at a certain point they didn't have to guard anyone anymore like Jews were just doing their slavery like there was no need to guard the borders there's this there's even a statement amongst our sages that no one ever even escaped Egypt which is kind of weird as millions of Jews and no one escaped Egypt no one like walked out and but also that borders aren't very guarded well in Egypt like it's not a extremely guard will place you see on one side that's right in them into the desert leads right into Israel on the Gaza border there meaning it's just not an easy place to guard but it didn't need any guarding because everyone was stuck in their constricted consciousness when you're in there you're constricted consciousness you generally stayed there you know especially if it's a control situation anyway the fourth fear is the fear of the unknown and how many of us art have risk aversion because of the unknowns and we would all be much wealthier or poor her today had we taken those risks and but we have risk aversion because the unknown and that's another form of constricted consciousness is the fear of the unknown and then lastly is the fear of physical pain and suffering meaning that could be caused your body and which also holds us back very much and constricts us from all kinds of things that we we could have done that right it might have been really great for us but we were too busy worrying about getting hurt that we didn't do it what like for example travel or or sports which could include sports like rock climbing or rappelling or or surfing hang gliding a river rafting mountain biking these are all like amazing sports that cause great mind expansion and why do you think surfers will like skip out on their final samms you know or just call in sick for a week straight you know just building a house in California is a rough thing because if it's a good winter mean waves no one's building your house they're just gonna not come for a week because the waves are good and so it's just like these kinds of sports are expanding and hence with those five fears that we just listed it's just more constricted consciousness consciousness is consciousness is the USB cable between God and creation it's a big statement consciousness is the USB cable between God and creation another one of it there's a couple USB kill another one's the zodiac the stars in their configurations and how they move throughout the air our one ir a USB cable between God and creation but the stars are like kind of out there where's your consciousness is in there and that's the USP cable between God and creation well think about it if the Constanza sness is constricted so then the USB cable line is not it's not really getting them it's not getting its power feed so much so God's you're not gonna have much of a a person to speak through if your cancer is constricted it's gonna be really hard to speak through you where is someone with the most expanded consciousness is there going to be a person with with a great aperture grief you know like expanded voice of God coming through that person which for us now that we don't have prophecy might show up as intuition might show up as premonition it might show up as just the ability to think see how things are moving in like for example markets stock trading and commodities and real estate markets and stuff like someone with an expanded consciousness is probably more likely the guy's gonna make money for you if you're investing because they have to have their finger on the pulse of you know just to be able to you know predict a bit in their in their work it's a big prediction business finance these types of things so so they're expanding conscious gonna be a good thing for that person it would make sense that someone who's in those professions if they're not doing Jewish spirituality that they they probably should be utilizing other things that expand the mind which may include even the substances you guys brought up that I mean not everyone would like to know there's their stock trading what do you call that guy the guy who trade stock for you when you call your stockbroker you know his own LSD but but I personally be happy to know that you know if I had a stock trader I'd prefer him on LSD because he is way more likely to be on that pulse and you see with Silicon Valley which is you know they have their own issues but they're they're super good at prediction in the business and they're they're extremely psychedelic substance friendly they're like that they like Google and themselves will host will host authorities on the subjects of psychedelics like Google themselves will host forums for that they will host another form of a mind expansion is is Buddhist meditation they'll host whole whole Buddhist mindfulness gatherings that will be sponsored by Google and other Silicon Valley companies will do that and Silicon Valley actually got its entire foundations off the the pre prohibition of psychedelics the Silicon Valley started right around the time where where Nixon started prohibiting psychedelics and the the founders of the Silicon Valley high tech world that we utilize all their wares are are we're all involved in those substances the and and today are even more invested in it in fact the in fact the US government still hasn't quite gotten behind the testing of psychedelics for therapy even though they've they've financially haven't gotten behind it legally they've gotten behind it meaning they've now finally opened it up and they're allowing all these different universities and other institutions to do all the testing for how psychedelics can help people who are suffering depression or anxiety or you know I other ailments to prom what was the other element I was looking for I don't remember better than another element and and they're there they're using their the government has okayed these meaning the FDA the Federal Drug Administration has now a paved that they're not yet paying for it well guess where all the money's coming from who's paying for all that Silicon Valley's paying for it so all the money and it's lots of money and research is coming from Silicon Valley anyway so so we so what we see is that our consciousness is the USB cable of God into creation let's bring it now to Jewish mind expansion Jewish mine expansion or Jewish states of consciousness that's the highest state is the state called prophecy prophecy is the highest state of consciousness we have not had a living prophet in 2500 years of course Gentiles love using word prophet loosely you know it's like anyone who is like a teacher or created a movement or came out of a cave okay that's a prophet but in Judaism like if you want to claim to be a prophet then you get tested we have a separate commandment to not over test a prophet meaning don't hassle the poor guy once he's proven himself truly a prophet don't give him a hard time we have a commandment for that meaning like a command you have to work to fill in or keep Shabbat we have a separate commandment not to overly test the Prophet you know what that tells you that one when Gentiles loosely uses the word prophet they are not talking about prophets nobody's testing these guys okay they are they're just movement starters or or they're just mythology you know mythological characters that they you know for example the the all the writings about about JC happened way after the death of JC so it's like you know in Judaism anything written about something real it was written then not later it wasn't we're not creating mythologies here they they're written as contemporaries of them and what's funny is the the best contemporary writing you can get the time of Jacey's are writing and the talmud does if you get an uncensored talmud the talmud is very clear what happened with JC who he was what he did wrong and believe it or not why the jews killed him and there's no crucifix in that story and that's a contemporary those are that's a history written by the contemporaries in the actual time we don't say there wasn't there wasn't Jesus we just say what happened that and what he had done wrong such that he deserved what he got and and and by the way then the Christians may be right that that he was pointing out he was pointing out corruption you know Jews where you read our history and then we were room there was a lot of corruption in those days and so here was a rabbi whom very well may have been as the Christians say pointing out the corruption couldn't very well be it was not why he was killed by the way he was not killed for that but you you're allowed in Judaism you're allowed to point out and in fact I mean it makes you a bit of a rabble rouser but but it's it's not the death penalty and we're very careful with the death penalty death penalty does not come from someone who's you know pointing out our faults it's just not our thing it could be there were kings at the time we had a lot of corrupt kings who might have killed someone but in the case of JC the Talmud does not say the king did okay this was this was there was some heavy infractions that that warranted the death penalty in his particular case I'm not going into it beyond that but by the way it's kind of fun with Creek yeah your plate you had I have a class called fun with Christians fun with Christians this is a they're they're kind of given over certain protocols like for example like one of the protocols they're given is not to say the Jews killed him so that's like one of the prop one of their protocols is to say the Romans did it but it's just a protocol meaning they really believe the Jews did it every Christian believes the Jews didn't less no one told them the truth but most Christians know the truth and then they're told to say the Romans did it and the one of the funds with Christians is you you press them like let's say you're on a bus with one so you got a good like 20 minutes with a guy you keep pressing them to say it just keep pushing I had so far I'm batting a thousand I finally thought I had a guy who was not gonna admit that he really believes the Jews killed Jesus I finally thought I had my guy cuz we rode from the old scene on a bus all the way towards the central bus station he was still holding on to the Romans story you know and no finally I just said oh my gosh I got to get off at the next stop I can't lose this battle so I find that I got aggressive with the guy I'm like I mean I don't think I grabbed his shirt come along but I might have you know immediately I'm just like you're lying to me you know it you know it's a the truth man and he finally goes fine you know like I did and I have a whole class called fun with Christians you can remind me of it but it's probably not good to do live and if you're Christian watching this I apologize I certainly don't discuss such things to offend anybody at all and and also you should know rabbis were there were rabbits that were pretty lenient with Christians over the years I'm not saying about ancient times anymore modern times that were more lenient with them they weren't so lenient about the Trinity stuff that not so lenient but but people are just like you know believing in in that that they're there you know as JC as the savior type thing and that was their thing but it wasn't a compliment there were lenient it was more of an IQ issue you know like I think if if that's what you need to believe you know like we're not gonna mess with you on that you know I mean I also I meet Jews by the way I meet Jews jumping up and down about other things too in the observant world usually they weren't raised observant but I've met plenty of Jews who jump up and down about various rabbis and I took me years to try to figure out what the world is driving these people and then one day I just suddenly I don't know I think I was watching a Jordan Peterson video on on an IQ test intelligence test and in the nice day after that I said wait a second maybe I've got the key to all this and then and then I discovered that I did have a key to all this that there's there's actually and I what they all have in common is low IQ well think about it think about having low IQ in a world that seems to only revere studying extremely complicated text like Talmud and you and you got to keep on your heading scissors so you're in like yeah these are like that you're in you know your mail mail doesn't help by the way you'll notice there's almost no women into this it's all it's usually men d'oeuvre and things that are doing this so you're already like you're card-carrying member of the observant community you got to keep you it's it's this but you you don't have an IQ that's gonna lend itself towards what everyone seems to be really into which is tortoise de Torres that he's like extremely complicated and it's and it's like you know everything thing you're learning is is is acrobatic is mentally acrobatic it's mental acrobatics all the time so you either have a high q-- and that's gonna go well or you don't have a high IQ and you're gonna it's gonna be like pulling teeth and by the way I know high IQ people have a hard time with it because they smoke weed so marijuana and Tomlin study they just don't go together you know like hey cuz because the you can have a high Q and just knock it down with MIT with wheat you know marijuana and IQ they're just not friends and they and now by the way the guy doesn't lose his Hayek you cuz he smoked weed he's just losing to high and cute when he's stoned well you know that's not gonna be good for the IQ that's not even good for study though because cuz think about it you can't learn something without having what's called short-term memory and you can't have short-term memory if you're smoking wheat they don't go together and well I've actually sometimes wondered well what is short-term memory short-term memory is the memory of something that let's say just happened well all our days existing in like there's stuff that's just gonna happen there's stuff it just did happen and we're somewhere here with the context of our day sometimes I wonder if the reason they're so high is because that got taken away that's gone there's no just was somewhere and nor do they remember what they were just talking about which is a little weird you know they were just talking about it and they seemed really interested in letting you know what they were saying which of course if you asked them one second later what they were just talking to have no I you know and they so they were just talking about it but that somehow is gone and and and they don't seem overly concerned about what's about to happen either well if anyone was put squarely in this moment always they'd probably just be high without smoking weed could it be that getting high is just removing the context of time from consciousness which you can see why it would drawn people especially young people who are just starting to try on responsibilities well responsibilities generally couched in time meaning I've got to deal with stuff and I've also got like a past that where I maybe wasn't so good at certain things or there were subjects I wasn't really fit for in school because you know everyone learns differently and and but yet I'm gonna have to utilize some of the things I'm not that good at from the past for my future well what if I could just somehow rule like slice off past and slice off future with one hit of a joint or a pipe or a vape pen or a brownie or a little piece of candy as they have it today you know what if I could just removed past him future and just be in the moment I didn't think about how high you would be without any weed just to be in the moment and by the way I met the highest person I've ever met it's a really strange story I have a student he's actually an Israeli tour guide today but I think he's from North America I had a student free many years ago and we're still Russian we get to see each other sometimes especially when he's leading tours in the city and he would tell me about his brother his brother wasn't well he had a brother who was mentally handicapped many many years later I was at the Kotel and I was praying Friday night schmoozing Friday no no no if I was praying it's really hard to pray at the Kotel when you're young took and quit because I just think everyone needs to hear everything about Judaism the entire time I'm down there I mean I'm really bad at the hotel Friday night you know I was like oh there's a birth rate group hello everybody I'm crazy and there was one point where the bathrooms were at the bottom of the stairs here cuz they were they were building these bathrooms which meant you had to cross the entire Plaza well if I meant to Kotel for four hours because they still can't seem to get myself to pray so I'm there for Howard well how many times I have to go the bathroom yeah twice well that's a half hour til I'm getting to the bathrooms average a half hour back and because I got to talk to everybody who's in the plaza about Judaism I don't know what's wrong with me I'm like I'm I'm just really too excited about one of the least stylish things in the world Judaism and anyway so this is all going on and there by the way I just want to mention the kids I forget the funniest part of the whole night was was four hours later I'm at my house my family's like where the hell have you been and and it's like it's almost 11:00 at night to make kiddush so we sang Shalom Aleichem and we sang yes just highlight blessed my kids and I'm standing there with the kiddush cup I'm about to make edition of getting ready to say you know Maharaja and so I start but right as I'm starting my son who had been with me all night he's giggling he's giggling loud I find him what are you giggling about he says he says daddy you never prayed and we you've read the kotel for four hours he's like yeah I was with you you never prayed I mean you started Kabul on Shabbat about six times I think you might have said Shema with a minion you know with a group that was saying Schmo but just cuz you're supposed to meaning if you're passing a minion they're saying Shema you're supposed to you know you never prayed I promise you you never pray and I'm like your kid it's it's almost 11:00 I'm a kiddush you can't be kiddush before you pray so I'm like okay everybody take five you know and I went in my bedroom just like God though ideally God as fast as I could say everything so I didn't even pray at the coat I notice that anyway I'm like an extreme extrovert so anyway the night while I was down there there was one guy who was like glued to me and he was the funniest guy I've ever talked to because every single thing I said was the most interesting thing he's ever heard no matter what it was I mean the facial expressions why do you talk to this guy you you'd feel the same way imagine talking to get some guy where every single fingers say he's just like you know so I would just go on a deeper deeper and deeper into like terror and like that week's parsha and like all about God and what a breath isn't and like you know I'm already on like teaching him about the word melech ha'olam you know melech ha'olam and while i by the time he did howl um the guy was like almost having a heart attack he was like he's going on and on then I had to go the bathroom so I'm crossing the plaza with him the whole way all of a sudden a guy comes running up to us a guy comes running up to us and he says he says oh my gosh young do you found my brother lost his brother at the Kotel a mentally handicapped person and we also haven't seen each other in a while so he was really excited to see me but he was way more excited to see the mentally handicapped brother he lost among thousands of people you know like he didn't look he had blown it big-time cuz this kid could have wound up anywhere anyway you see he's following me across the plaza of the bathrooms like and what if I just kept going yeah you'd have been right next to me going you know like this so anyway so you know Costanza so anyways so I go the bath and I come in the bath and I just take him aside they take my my student aside and I think tour guide and I said what exactly is your brother's mental handicap and he says he has a very extremely rare thing only a few people in the entire planet have ever had it it's extremely rare they have no past or future they're only now and I said well you know I just spent like the last 45 minutes maybe an hour with him and the whole time I was talking to him I was thinking that he was the happiest person I ever met and to this day I would say he was the happiest person ever me now is there anyone in this room who's not looking for happiness like anyone here we're all interested in happiness I mean you could say that really all psychologists would agree when studying the brain of humanity that we're all really just trying to get what would make us happy you know only reason you're in this class right now is you thought that maybe if you came to the Asia tour essentials class or you who clicked on this class said you know maybe maybe I'll be happier and if you felt something else would have made you happy you'd be there right now and Here I am having met the happiest person I ever met and what he had was no past or future well that certainly explains teenagers want to get high like what if I could just get rid of past him on that subject I want to mention that that to study something to actually learn something you must have short-term memory you know nothing's going into you on any real in any real way unless it's first hit the short-term it's gotta hit the short-term a bit of a review more stimulation there and the brain and then it could actually hit into long-term memory its long-term memory and then you got a chance to maybe even integrate something into your whole repertoire us as a human being you maybe integrate something and so in the hints you'll see that that smoking weed is antithetical to Torah study they're just not gonna go together because because you've got to get something to the short-term memory to get to the long-term memory I've noticed I'm teaching you know ueshiba no.4 in Asia tour for 27 years and I've noticed something amazing that I found that that serious pot heads they've got like cannabis on the brain always that's all you think about I like like the a it's almost become them like they've become it and what I've noticed over the years is that our staff here at Asia Terra that the rabbis here we don't really bring it up much you notice I don't really raise the raise it up much you just heard what I said I said heavy stuff about cannabis and Torah study they they don't go together you ever heard me say that before but no I'm just a good short term here so you know I don't bring it up much and the reason we don't bring it up much is because anyone who's studying Terra you have to put a lot into it a lot of blood sweat and tears to study the Talmud and all it takes for that guy is one joint on a Saturday night to lose the entire last week's of the last week of learning so he's been pumping it out learning and breaking his teeth on Tomlin and he's he's out with friends antenna whatever the sunlights joint gets all hi comes in Sunday morning to the Shiva only to realize that he doesn't remember what anyone's talking about he just doesn't have this this mentally acrobatic piece of Talmud he doesn't have it anymore he lost it and so now it's now he does another week so he has to catch back up to the stuffy laws now he's got another week's worth of material and now it's Saturday night someone likes lights a joint now he may smoke it but do you think the chances are less and what about a week after that and about a month after that what about a couple reckonings of hey what am I doing here if I'm just gonna keep wiping the slate clean every Saturday night or Thursday night or whatever and so what we found is rabbis in Asia tour is we don't even bring it up you smoke all the grass you want please don't do on our campus No don't sell it here you know that's you know that's the last thing we need as cops going into our dorm rooms and finding some guys selling weed out of a shift or that's that's super lame super lame and of course Asia's gonna just as an example gonna have to ask that got it Lee which is which is like you know like when he just send a guy to a gas chamber you know ask I gotta leave Asian tour I think this is his last hope for any Jewish literacy and we're gonna ask him to leave so it's like no one should put themselves or Asian a position like that and anyway so we don't mention it which is really fun for people who smoke cannabis because they know they can come to H or Sameach for Maya note or any of these shoes and no one's really gonna say anything about wheat which is great and then you get smoked and then you finally realize that hey I'm wasting my time with the cannabis and and so they save it til whatever poram ER or Bane is Mon or whatever like you know the semester break but it actually weeds itself out if weeds itself out and in the and then of course when it as it weeds itself out which is really powerful is that responsibility gets less scary because everyone who smokes weed that responsibility which automatically engenders future what happens is you're the responsibility arts to lose its pointed ears and fangs the less pot you smoke the less the future has pointed ears and things and so if suddenly it becomes something like hmm you know maybe I could take some responsibility and and then it's like the biggest responsibility which of course is a wife suddenly you know they're like hmm maybe I could get very well if I could get married maybe I shouldn't start being a good boy so I have what to sell when it's time to start dating so I you know gotta have what's sell you can't his can just like jump off ben yehuda straight into the shopkin eats office no you got a gonna have somewhat of a track record of you know very good behavior and so all this stuff happens quite naturally we don't have to say a word us rabbits just zip it let the guy do what he's doing but showing up to learn every day is important and they tend to tend to make men out of themselves without much employ for sure smoking learning for sure and also I would suggest suggest if he's committed to smoking and learning and that he learns other subjects in tomorrow as you learn Tanakh learnt enough learn Kabbalah I see this all the stuff that anyways mind expanding I don't know stuff that's not complicated as far as because think about it all the time all the studies of Judaism that or more let's call them hush gothic they're more about worldview like tuna tour prophets writings it's more about like why do we have all those writing they're they're helping us create a world view well marijuana is really good for world view you know it can completely like give you a perspective a mind expanded perspective on in the world whereas Talmud in law Talmudic law and Chohan art law his very left brain and we generally shuts down left brain people and sends you into the flow brain which is you know obviously left brain is someone who's aware of the past where the future their their everything's in context whereas marijuana is not a very left brain substance in it so it's really good for right brain well we have a whole part of Tor that is right brained and so smoking with the right brain tor is not the worst thing in the world but what it does take them out of though what it can do though is it causes the left brain to atrophy because the brain is a muscle and you got to be careful how much you're shutting down your left brain using wheat for anything forget the Talmud I mean just to make a living like there's certain livings you can make staying in your right brain like for example van Gogh I imagine didn't have much of a left brain guy who spray paints walls for a living doesn't need a left brain okay so but but a lot of positions need a left brain you know a lot of the big money-making stuff is left brain stuff and you know left creativity's right brain but left brain structure and so you all say you have to be careful with overusing things that that cause the left brain to to atrophy you know you know atrophy means but when you don't use a muscle atrophies like people people have just yeah people after surgery deal with atrophy and they have to go to the physical therapy or start getting a trainer so the brain can atrophy as well you know you think about it the Jews have been studying Talmud forever and and it's I don't know if there's a correlation but but but Jewish people have a higher IQ than Gentiles by an extremely large amount it wouldn't sound a lot of numbers meaning I think the average IQ on the planet is is somewhere around somewhere between 80 and 90 85 90 I forget what it was exactly and what is it the whole planet but they have usually national averages those you can just look up on your phone maybe tell us the so apparently the average I mean no offense to non-ashkenazi for the average Ashkenazic Jew it was either 110 or 115 okay between any one Tim what's the Ashkenazic Jew just add the word Ashkenazi right just write the word Ashkenazi Jew who's right thing what are we 2015 I I had learned that it was 115 okay anyway the but in question is how much did Talmud have to do with that generations after generations of left rain development left brain left brain left brain left brain left brain Liam brain development and think about all those scoundrels unlike scoundrels running the banks and you know you know who like cost millions of people to go homeless and lose everything and in 2007-2008 that whole crash I mean it was behind all that it was that Jewish left brain who understood how to leverage markets and things that just like most right brain people just in the life of them they couldn't have figured it out you know but but it's always Jews running those those structure those financial structures that that you know most people just don't even understand but they do affect homeowners getting loans and you know till the point where I mean I think like this large population people's loans on there I forget what happened with it what was it at the end their their homes were worth less than their homes begin worth lesson something having to do with loans I don't remember what it was someone knew I had to say that yeah it was something like that their home is worth less than the money they owed on the home school why are you paying your payments just walk your home's now worth less and all of that happening at the top of the whole thing were heavy-duty left brain people many of them many of them were Ashkenazi Jews behind all that no I think that it has nothing to do with the with necessary the Ashkenazi Jews I think it has to do with the this the non-ashkenazi Jews living in low IQ populations I think the lowest IQ populations what's thank you if Iran Iran no what you hear that Iran's 84 tied with Jordan Michael Jordan anyway IQs a very uncomfortable discussion no one likes that discussion very much and by the way it's irrelevant like I think the highest IQ person in the entire world is African and I think Africa on average goes what's there I mean it's hard to do Africa because there's so many countries in this giant land but you just choose a country of Ghana Swaziland yeah you'd have to choose a country in Kenya oh geez try Kenya mmm Kenya's aat so I think oh no no he's not he's not an African no whatever they whatever they the highest thank you person in the world today is some like some like Gentile mistakes I think he spends all day like chopping wood and stuff yeah so a meaning meaning these are giant population numbers there's nothing to do with individuals you know there's you could have the lowest IQ population and have a Nobel prize-winner happen right in the center of it with two parents whose IQs are under 80 so meaning this has nothing to an individual's it just has to do with like overarching millions of people being tested for intelligence okay um we obviously opened up a subject called mind expansion which is really big I want to finish the session because I think we're after for we're way after Ford's for a million so I want to finish the subject just was saying that we are consciousness is the USB cable OH&S one should just you one more thing about joy is that if a prophet was angry and they were often angry cuz like you'd come into some little town and they're like doing everything wrong their problems like you know what problems like what the hell is going on here no of course the Prophet coming to town is a good chance for God to rebuke the people in town the problem is he was not the USB interface why he was in constricted consciousness because he was looking at the people saying hey man you guys were way off and he was getting upset about that and him getting upset about that messed up the fact that he was a prophet because the good the good thing is that hey a prophet came to the town what a wonderful time for the town to get a real prophetic experience and get straightened out problem is you can't give prophecies never gonna land in a guy who's pea oh I understand you you're not gonna get prophecy if you're upset so this was like an issue and so what happened was there were a lot of prophets who traveled they would travel with bands okay seven can start reaching for your headphones now they they would travel with pans so what would happen to probably get all upset and you'd be like what the hell's wrong with all these people and yeah exactly so what do you would do is he would just say like maestro yeah the horn players like you know and and they just be like you know and then after a while he's just like you know like thusly says the Lord and it was like yeah so there was actually there be prophets who wouldn't have musicians around who in like you know cuz it was time for the prophecy but he wasn't in the state he wasn't in expanded consciousness constricted consciousness in expanded consciousness how God's gonna be talking through you and so we all have to be vigilant for expanded consciousness we all have to be vigilant for that whether your stock trader as I spoke about earlier or whether you're just a regular person wants to be happy you've got to be expansive and that expanded consciousness is is something that your your it's a non-negotiable you got to make sure you got that going all the time and you can you always be there no but you can have your headphones nearby you can go get a beer you know and that'll expand you up and there's ways to expand yourself and you also hang around more expansive people that's always helpful and stay clear of contracting people other than you know whatever you have to do if they're your family or whatever you know but but you know there's plenty of ways and we could talk about that I don't mind going on with the discussion of the week of being expanded consciousness Shalom everybody I'm rabbi Nick Amara's beginning now
