whatsapp me to please help me finish my website this would be someone with some experience would like the rabbi's website to be amazing the afterlife here we go now the afterlife is really the before life because the we're talking about the world of souls and the world of souls is both before and after your life so it's not like it's not like the afterlife is just this thing coming later that isn't a continuation of something let me tell you something deep in cosmic right beginning none of your life that you've experienced so far nor the rest of it will have been within a lapse of time no time will have elapsed from your birth till your death zero time will have elapsed because time is part of the creation where your soul has been put your soul does not know how to tell time okay it doesn't know time it's like a toddler you know you can't ask a two-year-old what time it is it's always now it is always now for the toddler and so is there always now for us too it's just that when you grow up you start to get involved in psychological time and so you don't realize that there really is always now and nothing else there's always now you have this you ever unfortunately for all of us myself included a little last name but you have this concept of light past and future as if those are realities and you're somehow like you know you're like I don't know how to draw people so much so you're just kind of you're like moving through reality here so you believe there's something called time and that you're walking through it you're like somehow moving through time as if time exists but there is no such thing as time there's only just this moment in this moment in this moment in this moment there's no how could it be any other way and you can show me a minute ago show me a minute from now show me is they gonna go show me a second it doesn't it they just don't exist at all at all thank yesterday does not exist at all no where nothing zero I'm you may have a USB of something you watched yesterday but it's exist now only there's no such thing as past or future they don't exist now because of the success of now there's lots of now's lots and lots and lots of now is coming through because of the succession of now we get to make choice we have to predict things we have to get predictive well how are you gonna predict things how does anyone predict things how do you predict anything how does the Pretender they predict the weather how they predict markets and stocks and real estate how do you predict things what do you need a lot of you need a lot of data and where do you where's that data coming from it's coming from the past doesn't need a lot of data from the past now all that past happened only in another now all the past happening - no but with all that data now you can maybe talk about how things in the now are gonna work out as the now moves along now you have a part of your brain it's called the default mode Network Vidya min and the default mode Network job is prediction your job is prediction and the older you get the more predictive it gets which is a little sad because you know you're predicting things that are right in front of your face meaning meaning they say that you see 10% of reality when you're you know you're just walking through the old city meeting stuffs there you're not focused on it but your predictive mind will do the rest for you it paints in the detail and they even say there's a blind spot between our two eyes there's a little bit of a blind spot but your brain Pink's it in predictively Toddlers again they also don't know time and those annona I predict they don't have enough data two year olds done on the data to predict and therefore they are happy because happy people aren't in time the more time you're allowing into your life but more unhappy you're gonna be the last time you're allowing into your life the happier you will be I mean let's just look at anxiety for example you know everyone has something they're gonna have to do this year yeah some stuff yeah I got stuff you got to do so let's say my elbow is now so here's now in his future that's all the stuff you're gonna have to do right so so if you're if you want to be happy you want to be here but what happens is well we're always here this is now my elbow is now but what happens is there's people if you're more like me where future is just nothing but that it's not interesting now I'll make some plans I'll make the right phone calls like I I have enough data to know that I do have to get in contact with certain people and you know make some kind of logistical 'he's not just cold arrangements i know that it's fine yeah when I get to LAX I before I fly from I would bright get to LAX and then call me Mom but before I fly from Seattle I will call my mother because I've had enough time showing up places and just sitting there waiting for people to pick me up cuz I didn't think about calling them before I actually arrived in their city so so the anyway so I'm pretty flat but how many of you are more like this and by the way there's a lot of oil here so things start sliding slightly like the futures kind of slides into the now quite a bit for you we're actually kind of worried about stuff and like how you're gonna deal with things and then there's people who are more like this where like even more sliding in but then there's people and these are the people have anxiety and they're generally I'm in 2018 or on medication because we like to medicate anybody who's lacks well-being you know if you lack well-being we've got a pill for you so anyway so the so there's people actually live like this where the future has collapsed into the now and they can have panic attacks their fault they all have full anxiety over what's gonna be coming so when I'm really did what I'm ultimately showing you right now is that is that psychological time can manifest in in the mental illness if you call anxiety a mental illness but I think the psychological and psychiatric world does because I see they prescribed for it so I imagine it's a mental illness and what it comes from is people who've been living their lives in psychological time now why what does that have to do with anything in Judaism psychological time and the answer is is that Judaism tells us and we say it every single morning that Hashem is maja - but - volume to me in my savory she's that Hashem is perpetually renewing the entire action of Genesis God's renewing the actions the ten actions there were ten actions thing there was the word Genesis the word bere she ate and then nine other let their bees which include vegetation and mineral you know let the land be upon the earth that's the mineral let the vegetation be upon the sorry let the land be upon the waters and let the vegetation be upon the land and fish and fowl and animals and all in those call those all came with the words let there be via heat which are God's names by the way those are names of God and that's God doing stuff whenever you got the goods in the haze and all that that's where God's like creating stuff and so and so God's sending out creation through these ten beams of light you could call them and and then and the creation comes from there well he's renewing that every second constantly it's being renewed right now all ten which is amazing that he's doing that because if he stopped doing one of them we'd all be in a lot of trouble right now you know if he took out mineral right now that'd be a little scary considering the floor of this room has made of mineral a be pretty awful awful let's say it keeps mineral he takes out foul so then I guess whatever nutrients are in your body from chicken over Shabbos or something to go you know I'd be stuck because I had fish for dinner less that happen to be good if he took away fish and if he'd said let there if he stopped saying let there be like if God just stopped saying for a couple seconds the words let there be vegetation upon the earth so you would all be naked right now in this class would get really interesting and I would be clothed because I'm wearing a wool vest and wool pants so I'd be all set and the rest of you being serious trouble now the unless you're wearing polyester at which which is made ultimately of petroleum I guess so your your back to minerals so you'd be fine if you're wearing polyester but those Levi's would be gone I think your shoes are leather only thing you'd be wearing is your shoes he would be like you know they just so wanted to get my compliment and they just didn't know what to do so they were just like nice shoes no no he's like thanks this is really awkward so anyways the whole world is coming into existence via these ten utterances and you don't need Judaism for this to know this I mean there's all you have to do is know a bit of physics no this is like basic quantum physics today to know that the world is existing in vibrational energy like what do you think this is English that's not English we know I'm sending out vibrational patterns that are coming in massive mathematical equations across the room hitting your eardrum going from your eardrum straight through the this nerve pattern that goes to the neurons the neurons are either firing or not firing up their binary you have billions of neurons that are matching it to you know they just fired on fire but there's also a party brain that matches it to every time you - the data of the past remember we mentioned that part of you the default mode network is man if that's your time travel abilities so it's matching it to every time you've ever heard English now if someone from China was here didn't speak English there's neurons would be doing the same exact math Ezio it's just that it wouldn't have the data also if there was a two-year-old in here what if there was a two-year-old in here who speaks fluent English how would that two-year-old be doing right now it just doesn't have data for what's going on in here and so it would just totally miss this cuz toddlers default mode networks are no good I had an amazing experience where I met the happiest person I ever met and he has a disease where he doesn't have a default mode network which means you really got to keep an eye on this guy you know like he must be here with someone always any but that's his only issue he looks like you and me you know he's just walking around like I mean he's gotta have someone with him but he's just walking around it's amazing knows how to walk you know but he can cuz you know kind of walking around most of the time probably in the morning it's rough like when he gets out of bed it's probably a little bit you know because we only walk based on the default mode network stability to walk from the past but there's also muscle memory I think probably muscle memory is enough for him anyway he's he's the happiest person I ever met there's such an amazing person and anyway but but the story is that many years ago I was with a student of mine who today is an Israeli tour guy amazing guy and but he was just like coming to Israel he was sitting like you guys you know like and and you know today is like a family man with like he really made it in Israel like many of my students who stick with me I hate to sell my my ability to be a rabbi for people but I'll tell you one thing that some people think I'm too out-of-the-box to be like their rabbi because it's too scary cuz I'm gonna challenge you big time to push limits and and not let your fears be your guide to stop driving with your rear-view mirror yeah can you imagine how much trouble you get into driving always looking through your ear beam here see what everyone else is doing see what's going on like see what they think and all that stuff that's and that's only one fear that's fear rejection yeah but they but the I refuse to let my students have their fear guide them in their lives and so what happened is that get these people like I just need it more okay I'll become observant rabbi Glaser but I'm gonna have a rabbis a little more conservative you know like someone who's like safer and then what do they do they go marry like this super safe you know a business man or something or she marries the area he marries this like super safe girl is like she's so nice like how many time keys were nice about a person till you want to puke you know so he marries this nice girl a good girl yeah and then but here's the crazy part the crazy part is that so many of these people crash and burn in ways because I'm doing this for over twelve I mom said three decades of being a rabbit their crash and burn and the worst possible ways that I mean there's big crashing burger and stuff and it's horrible too because it's like you know cuz there's children involved and there's like there's just so much involved it's it's really horrific and and I've never ever ever had one of my students yes I push hard and yes I didn't let fear stop them but I've never had a crashing bird no one's ever crashed and burned no one in two and a half decades of guiding people in guiding couples and families and stuff no one's ever crashed and burned nobody well why I'm the risk I'm the risky rabbi under rabbi was dangerous you know like like you'll have to take risks to get guided by me and the reap the reason is is because if you take risks you learn all kinds of stuff but when you play safe there's goblins and all kinds of pitfalls and dark caves and bats and everywhere that you just chose not to look at you just don't want to look at that stuff and well when you don't look at stuff that's really a problem that's really of issue and you think you can just go and be nice and tell everyone your Shabbos was very nice and you know how wish I was very nice how was the wedding very nice how was the engagement very nice what did you think of the color very nice you know you want to live a life on glue like that you know sniffing glue and saying everything's very nice you're not gonna know how to deal with the stuff that God throws at you God throws stuff at us and you gotta know how to navigate you got no big time ahead navigate I just got back just now from three hours of the most intense off-road downhilling I'm coming down rock slabs that you couldn't walk down without a rope and I'm on my mountain bike coming down these rocks slabs and and you know climbing up this next thing and then dropping out like where you can't even see where you're dropping to and then you're gonna land it onto your suspension just like when you land and then going to the next crazy things and there's tons of calculation involved tons like like levels of calculation that that are mind-boggling to be able to do the right I just took and most people don't take that particular trail because it's not it's not safe unless you can make the calculations in real time which is like now you know really now-now-now three hours straight but the but the playing it safe is the most dangerous thing you can do and that's what I'm saying you want danger play it safe it's really dangerous and I spend so much of my life picking up the pieces of safe people people play it safe God did not make this world safe it is not a safe world he's the creator learn how to walk with risk learn how to dancing with some chaos in your life and and learn from it learn how to move so that so that when the bigger stuff starts hitting you know you're just your muscle memory goes right into action so my um so this dear student of mine that was all parenthetical by the way my my student he he was telling you know you would tell me from time to time about his about his disabled brother and you know and you have to be with him he's disabled and it's a big deal and like who's watching him and can i really be in israel right now cuz it's like you know my parents are on this but I'm kind of one of the majorly responsible people involved with him and how long can I really study for and so he would go back and forth a lot to take care of his brother about two years ago I was at the hotel and when I'm at the Kotel Friday night I rarely pray I only found this out later because I'm so busy loving everybody that I forget to pray I don't mean to not pray and I keep joining various minions at various times but but like like to actually do the prayers I'll be like in the middle of getting somewhere with it when all of a sudden I don't know a birthright group you know and they're like holding their sitters upside down and they're wearing those like disposable keepers that are flying through the air and and so I got to go help them you know I gotta go talk some about prayer and like explain things you know and otherwise I mean they'll have a great experience at the Kotel but it'll but it could be even more enhanced and especially with all these black hat and fur headed I see them who won't even look at them you know cuz they're just like not Hasidic and you know I want to be the guy in the fur hat with a pass who looked at them who said hi you know who said hey can I help you find the plate pager he's like oh my gosh I must be Jewish you know cuz with the rest of us has seen him they probably feel like Gentiles and whereas I you know I have strong Judah are by the way some of them are Gentiles in birthright a very strong Judah when I walked through a birthright grip I'm like I'm like not Jewish finally not there's mother and your mother's mother judge my Jewish father I think Shalom welcome welcome yeah thank you for grabbing some chairs we got two chairs coming right up wow you're fast brother let's sit them together they look like they know each other how long y'all known each other 45 years five years anyway whatever I like I could be there for 3-4 hours I only found out I don't really pray there when when when I got home one Shabbos and I'm about to make kiddush and I noticed my son I'm like um I've already said Sheila Malay animations final everything I'm holding the kiddush cup and I'm like getting ready to sick kiddush when my oldest son starts busting up and I like what's so funny y'all know sheshe and he's like what's a vine he says totty totty theaters for Danny Kathy you never davon davon like what are you talking we're at the Kotel for four hours we only got home at 11:30 you never dove and in those four hours I was with you the whole time you never done and I'm like what do you mean we did Coppola Bob with those people he said yeah you got about halfway you know and then he's like it's why I'm already I came over to 11:00 it's not like 11:30 a.m. I say to my wife and kids I'm like hey go to my bedroom I'm like vomiting as quickly as I can you know just come back nobody kills me so I met the coach I'm talking to this guy and he's the happiest guy I've ever met he's just that he's kind of admit but here's the here's the kicker as a rabbi cuz you know we also have egos too we also want people to like us so it was nice to have someone so excited about everything I was saying he was really excited about everything I was saying and he wasn't just excited about what I was saying maybe give her that seat cuz that she likes her Tavor dog by the aisle I do you mind if she takes that seat okay whatever oh yeah there's a seat in the corner now for you this is our famous class dog what's the dog's name by the way Minnie oh my class never really starts till this dog arrives Minnie I'm sure she had yeah anyway yeah we have all kinds of interesting things come into our class your dog is the least of them no no the anyway I'm talking this guy now I'm teaching this guy I'm teaching him like everything I've ever known about Shabbat for the last like 20 years cuz he's eating it up he's eating it up he's eating it up like it's every secret about Shabbat it's every law of Shabbat and why we do that love Shabbat I mean the guy's like and everything I tell me he's like this so I just can't stop I'm with him for like 45 minutes you know at the Kotel instead of praying I'm explaining all about Ramon he's just like anyway I finally told listen I gotta go the bathroom look I can't keep talking to you he's like oh I'll walk you to the bathroom so so but the bathrooms were right here they were these were under construction when they built them so you had to cross all the way over which is like for me it's gonna be another half hour birthright groups in Italy but I'm talking to him the whole way I finally get to the bathrooms over there when my student from years ago who today is a tour guide comes running up to me panicked panicked and says oh my god you found him I've been talking to someone with no memory there's no past or future with this guy he doesn't remember anything I've said I've nothing nothing not one thing not even the last thing I told him is there he has no memory whatsoever there's no past or future for him I found the next guy will teach to like someone to teach you know I want to teach came here came to this earth to do it and here I had a perfect victim none of what I say nothing we're speaking about a person who has a lady's a nice lady and gentleman back there you're a little late miss story but there was a person who's got a mental illness that he doesn't have past or future and his default mode network doesn't work that's where you are able to check data in memory to predict future moves that's how you get up and down stairs and stuff so anyway whoa but I'm telling you all my life I've met a lot of happy people pregnant more sad people but he was by far the happiest person I've ever met which tells you that psychological time is not the answer you don't want to be hanging out there too much you don't want to hang out there really at all you just want to be learning from the past and and preparing for the future that's a learning plan learning plan learn another implant little bit but where life occurs is now now life occurs right now learn from the past you got all the data in there thank God your default mode networks up and running and you want to plan for the future yeah than that stay away from time time is dangerous time is cause of many mental illness much mental illness and we already spoke specifically about anxiety as IDSA is a mental illness that is formed by people who have gotten sadly locked into psychological time now we're all locked in the cycle sometime but but you know you got to start loosening your grip on it you know you got to let it go totally let it go not to the point of being irresponsible obviously clear no no time back to the beginning of our class no time has elapsed since you were born why because time is a purely psychological thing and you yourself your actual conscious me that meaning the part that's listening to me right now you guys notice that there's someone in you listening have you noticed that who is that in you listening certainly not your phase phases don't listen although they're quite expressive what I'm speaking today so your face isn't listening well maybe it's your ears no your ears just have a tympanic membrane it's just a little eardrum it just gets vibrations so that's not listening well who is listening to me well maybe it's all those neurons away you're not a neuron maybe a nerd but you're not a neuro okay so just kidding you're not a nerd either yeah but you're not a neuron neurons are microscopic little doodads that either fired I'm fired they're networked with all the other neurons well that's not what's listening to me so who is it that's listening to me right now meaning who are you that's listening to me and the answer is well the hints was really you have no idea and I have no idea that's why I started this class was saying I have no idea who I am because how could I know how can I know it's not something that's part of the physical world I I know some things about my body I know some things about my history I know you know I know I'm from Ashkenazic tradition in my family genes and stuff like that they're asking Ozzie but uh Who I am I know I'm present here I'm like totally present here I'm sense in the cool air is a little too cold actually and I'm sensing my the fabric of my clothing everyone's sense your fabric since you're sensing the is it too cold him yeah just turn it up two notches the turn up the yeah I'm since the fabric of your clothing if you're touching something sensing but that's but you're the consciousness sensing it new neurons report to you but you are not your neurons they're just reporting to you and that part of you is eternal that part of you is eternal I mean think about it the only thing that first of all it exists in real time that consciousness exists in real time it's only your DM in network that can do the time-travel stuff and make you think there's such a thing as Futurama that's only your name and your conch dammit is not you either it's it's a function of the brain but the actual you is not in time at all so then you might be wondering well how can I have anxiety listen how can I have anxiety if the real me is always right here right now how could I ever have anxiety over the future how could isn't it me who is having anxiety well isn't it me then that's worried about time and the answer is no it's not you it's your brain you've been hijacked the human brain is an extremely complex organ and it has functions to deal with that are for our very survival they're very very important and they are filled with content massive amounts of content you yourself the consciousness does not have content it is merely a receiver it's a receipt it's like the screen on a computer it doesn't have a function other than other than to be the interface you understand with the user it does other than being the interface of the user it doesn't do much well good luck using a computer without a screen but but it you need that that's not where all the action is going on the actions going on inside the brain of the computer so you are the interface and you're highly highly developed complex brain which is filled with content has had no problem hijacking me you meaning you've been hijacked by your own brain you keep thinking that you are your thoughts but you are not your thoughts you have thoughts your brain is thinking but your the interface you are your the consciousness your that screen that interfaces the brain your not your brain and though your brain is busy with tons of content your own identity never should be touched by your brains thinking you don't have to be a genius to be a genius meaning you don't have to be a genius to enjoy the power of your brain all you need to do is take a deep breath and be present and suddenly your brain becomes available becomes available comes online because now it's yours to be used it becomes a tool rather than an identity why don't we all take use it as an exercise right now let's all have an exercise where we will let our brain be nothing more than that a tool for what did I call it tool for [Music] whatever a functional tool of data and with all its content but we ourselves will be the viewer we're gonna view our brain will view the data by just being quiet so why don't we on three and well we're gonna I'm gonna count to three and when I get to for everyone snapped with both fingers okay so it'll be like this just watch me first one two three and they will snap when I would have said four and and then at that moment and when I get to one by the way can you please shut off the AC at 1 so we get total silence okay so get ready for one okay get ready get your snappers ready get some snippets we're gonna snap both fingers and we are gonna actually allow the brain to be nothing more nothing more than an extremely complex content and data organizer nothing more than that we are the conscious being we are not our thoughts or we're not the brain and we're not the thoughts in the brain one two three please don't forget to breathe you are now viewing your viewing life now as a conscious being in the moment there's not a lot of content right now cuz the brain tends to shut up when you stare at it I mean your brain wouldn't really speak up right now it's like getting your hand got that cookie in the cookie jar cuz it's been it's been hijacking you with content content content until you've ultimately become that content mostly because of your lack of discipline as a thinker anyone can do this this is not some advanced thing here this is just basic life it's you it's your presence is this eternal soul that only relates to now let's do it again with double snap and then after this one will read a little you can sit after that will breathe a little and then we'll turn back on the AC just so we can breathe unless everyone's happy quiet like this you guys like it I like will turn on them in a couple minutes when you feel it's time I trust you okay you ready okay but everyone get in your position so you're not gonna make any sounds you did perfectly that last one was perfect there was no sounds and and by the way the ambient sounds of the construction site down there that's great you know why not you know that's what's happening in sometimes my kids are screaming and sometimes my wife is good it's sometimes my kids are screaming and sometimes my wife is saying something and and it's just it's just perfect that's what's going on so I don't need incense candles and you know a Himalayan mountain top for this happy to hear chainsaws and banging on a construction site ready oh boy well I'm not going on hey you are so good you're just so good you're good to a fault you're good to a fault he comes in to make sure I get out of here for a rabbit Nick Omar's class okay but rabbinic iris on vacation ready 1 2 3 presents content bringing you're not your brain you know it's good you have one it's very helpful but your why should you be the victim of your brain I mean would any of you let me tell you what to do No so why would you let your brain tell you what to do it's just another random random thing why would you let oh I'm sorry would you let me tell you who you are when any of you let me tell you who you are No so why would you let your brain tell you who you are we're gonna take it a little step deeper now into self-image who are you really how are you if not who your brains been saying you are all these years back to the subject of fears where'd you get those fears where'd you get all your fear well it must be it's connected to something in your brain that keeps telling you that things are dangerous well that's a good thing cuz you don't get hurt right and I was just driving I don't know how I 120 miles per hour down the highway it's a good time to have some fear and had a seatbelt on watching my mirrors watch my mirrors you know being as careful as possible fear is a good thing as long as it's real that's real highways are real but how much of your life has been governed by when I say governed it's like it's like I'm the electric bike you know the legal speed is 25 so if you're going 30 the motors not working anymore how much of your life has been governed by fears that are not part of your database except for the fact that they've been imposed it's not your actual life experience their fears that were imposed maybe by a fearful mother maybe by a fearful father are fearful Bobby verse ad grandparents or maybe you were you were one of these people who was a loose clicker on the internet and saw scary stuff or you maybe saw too many movies and stuff like that or maybe you read too much news and you could live in a town in America where there isn't where there's like almost no crime right but your daily paper talks about crying because there's 300 million people in the country and so if someone doesn't anus enough crime which seems to happen every day over there it's gonna show up on your paper in your little town is that gonna make you feel safer or more fear more fear but fear in this case is false evidence appearing real fe8 are false evidence appearing real because you live in a safe town and that's a good thing it's good to live in a safe town the brain when you were toddler was totally free like really free and full of confidence you had no fear at all when your toddler do you have a fear of rejection by the way if anyone needs to go maybe with maybe let's take a break four people are uncomfortable I have to go but they're just being nice and no one is to come because Mike cuz normally there's a break here so so anyone who must go should take a moment anyone have a random question not a random question but on the subject yeah we're still getting to the afterlife by the way yeah what's your question okay and we got a smartphone that we can play meditation music on I I got this one that's just got at YouTube 6-hour relaxation YouTube 6-hour relaxation it'll happen there's several of them it's the one with the shell wait wait he asked about he already asked yeah what's your question what literature is it in yes I think it's in the Zohar do you know where it appears it thinks she's in the Zohar it's really a good that does what websites oh great thank you is he fabulously wealthy need do it for free is that all you want to know she was she was a part of the Garden of Eden she was trying to dominate Adam Adam threw her out I never learned that I learned she tried to dominate him and he threw her out or should I say threw her off and not going into graphics and he and he and then she became a demon and she became a demon and she and she she lives off of the seed of men that is not yeah that is not from make any seed that's not coming forth in a kosher way as long as it's kosher Lilith can't get [Music] if it's not kosher she's really the one behind it so I think what men should do just to chill out a bit he's they should get a really freaky Medusa looking like horrific Lilith mask and if he was thinking that way about someone at a bar or somethin in a club or something you should ask her to wear that mask yeah then you just don't understand what demons her no one understands it and happen gets turned on but Peter had it and one said we got a couple questions here ask it again what's like the breakdown of the souls yeah I'm happy to get into that as well Oh what was your question [Music] how do you do with that kind of fear mm-hmm so meditation is probably helpful because meditations quiets the default mode Network they've already seen it on MRIs that the default mode network goes like it can I mean it for an expert committed meditator they the default mode Network goes almost blank in meditation so that gives you now a baseline for your day if you start your day with the meditation which takes a little time to get there but if you start that as your baseline where the default mode network is pretty quiet now of course you know you don't be driving karma and meditation cuz you need the two fault mode network to drive a car and understand but but to start your day there and just create a baseline you know of mental discipline that's that's about all you need that's about all you should need and you can also tamp in later in the day to that and you can also create your environment with certain aromas sounds like just this sound for example this isn't imagine that's playing in the background like all day so that would be pretty interesting you know you're privy pretty chill that you know a little little incense wafting in the air and stuff yeah all that Jewish stuff temple temple stuff no one was having anxiety at the temple I'll tell you that yeah the incense was in the air the music was playing you know everyone was feeling perfectly in the moment so you can recreate that yeah [Music] I mean even the darkness is light itself in the soul in the world I don't think there's any many now if you wonder if you remember your spouse your parents of the people you'll meet they're not like a regular memory and I could be like oh you remember that day at the park you know we're having a picnic by the lake none of that stuff's going on it's the people whose souls you share the deep connection to would be you know you'd be you wouldn't be like there wouldn't be a conversation it would be a certain kind of fusion that's why it's so important to get a get four people get divorced because otherwise they're fused forever and that's that's not a good thing for people want to be divorced you know like that's all a girl needs to find out if she's gonna be fused to air forever this guy and then the guy like dies so she can't get a get just fused forever meanwhile married to someone else the closest we can get to a few fusion yeah well that's what kind of marital relations is like body and soul fused together yeah that's kind of thing just to become one flesh as Adam was when he and Eve were one person that's what happens when fusion yeah big time how do I do it so I don't know if you can really I don't know if you need to because even if the person's a bad person and you wish you were not connected there's no such thing really as a bad person meaning all of us have good and bad in us and some people are really much better at the good part and so feel are really not very good at keeping down the bad part and we want to avoid those people and we have jails for those people so so sometimes we again we have interactions with bad people when I say bad people meaning people who's bad side dark scientists is winning and so I don't want to be connected that person but you also have a good in the bad side and we all have it everyone's made of light and darkness so so I don't know if it's such a big deal because when they'll die when this person dies the part of them that's good is the only part you could ever meet because this makes sound a little complex too but bad darkness bad is only a function of extremity meaning extreme distance from God the extremities from the light so meaning if you want to do something wrong you're really going away from the light of Hashem and when you do something good like help a person when it's appropriate it's not sometimes it's dark to help a person because your wife and kids are waiting for you and you're helping somebody else why you forgot your main people so like the there's even good can be bad but but let's say let's say that that the extremities of the darkness are they're only further from the light well what's far from the light the farthest thing from the light is the actual physical world this world is as far from the light as you can get that's why this whole world is called by the kabbalists darkness it's called clip off all in my whole [ __ ] where's the light of ash a mystical world of light and because the lights coming from there I mean everything's projected from the light so the further closer you are the light everything gets light so that means whatever whatever soul you are connected to in the in that world in the world of the light you'll only be dealing with the light side anyway because anything you do this dark stays down here and there's actually a there's actually a scrub brush and there's a whole scrub brush realm called Gehenna that's just made of like I think it's just made of scotch scotch brite you know that you know stuff clean dishes with obviously it's not made of anything physical because we're talking about things that are the theory oh these are not physical things but whatever darkness attaches to you that you did not clean off with the four steps of Chuo in charge and stops a regret commit leading it to do those four steps four things you did that were dark if you didn't scrub it off yourself so there's other ways to get it off one of those ways is is God since what seems like undue suffering but it's not and it is undo I mean it doesn't make a lot of sense how much someone can suffer but but it does it does have a cleansing effect to suffer in this world because having your darkness scraped off later you can have some scraped off now the known of course wants to suffer and therefore do chuva like when you do something wrong take responsibility back to Adam and Eve you know don't start saying he went thattaway we here take responsibility and clean yourself off in your life get clean inside now authentic real so anyway that that's that's basically how it works so you don't have to worry about being attached to a bad person because there's no such thing really there's a person who's allowed their bad side the dark side to do in and of course it'd be nicer to be attached to someone who's clean but but but we're all part of that clean world and so is the person from the dark side yeah yeah no it's not a problem not a problem in yeah and if that if it was if that fusion with that person was was caused negativity in their lives me it was a selfish thing it was all part of darkness even if you like them if you love them but you know it's clearly not not good for a deal in the ultimate end of things it wasn't good it didn't last and go towards marriage it didn't and then she of course now is married but kind of has someone else in the bedroom with her meaning the person had been with her so so then Shh part of her spirit weights in this scotch-brite realm yeah her spirit waits there and but you can do Troopa you to chew it you can actually call the person up and say like hi I was an idiot I'm now I realized how selfish I was might have to make a few tries and clean it up so little it becomes an interesting question when she's married to have a cover speech like that with a woman who's married you know from you know from the past that's like that's pretty awkward and so some rabbis when you explain all the details of her life will say no nobody you know you're just doing whatever true you can do you're gonna be busted when you get upstairs not appropriate but if by any chance that person's single jump on it before they get married because it's it's it's not so appropriate to be doing it with a married person to be having that kind of conversation good questions shoes soles this what exactly is what's is it more of like is the cleansing something the soul can feel is depending something the shoulders it's I don't know what it is that's me what it is all I know is you sleep in the bed you made you know you you did move you did stuff that was selfish and away from God so now you got to go deal with that you got to get through it you know you got to just get through it it's not easy to get through it it's not a nice experience I don't know how bad it is but I have a feeling it's really rough sometimes I say it's just like the purest regret and you can kind of like no nothing physical won't be physical there's no physicality Hucky you gotta have a body get stretch really hard to stretch person's soul anyway so so but it but it's it's quite quite rough and and therefore it's much better to do teshuva just do teshuva like why wait around for such stuff okay any other randoms yeah ring carnage did another thing it's not because again of Ganim cleans everybody you can't get through getting them without being totally clean because in the world of light there's no dark so whatever darkness is left has to get dealt with again so there's only light nothing dark follows you which is really good news you know your eternity will be only in life because just it's a matter of metaphysics there's no there's nothing dark there so how can you be in an area where there's no darkness and experience darkness you can't it's only light but you have to get through an area where that's that's called Ganon before you can get there now as far as reincarnation is concerned reincarnation isn't not a punishment unless it's some kind of weird severe thing where someone gets brought back in a dog which I told the story a few years ago how am I still it enough maybe a few months ago my student who came back as a dog you guys right here for that story I mean it's such an odyssey of a story but I literally had one of my students come back you guys said I thought your students never crash and burn that's really bad you'd have time just you know once you hear the story you know yeah I have two other start it's just the wildest thing ever [Music] yeah it's on there but I don't know which one it is let me think no I have no idea which one is okay couple more questions are you coming in a sec she was a little bit for you yeah yeah doesn't forgive so I'll tell you what the rules are like this you have to ask forgiveness seriously serious three times if they don't forgive you the third time then whatever is that you did goes on then now if you really love someone don't ask him a third time if you know they're not gonna forgive me if you really care about the person so you don't ask for you miss three times when I say forget it's not like as far as her sorry that's three you know it's not like this is real forgiveness meaning I think I think the second time you have to bring rabbis with you you need like bearded men you mention showing up with two bearded rabbis like these are my new friends I roll with these guys but you got actually bring people like who add weight to it and I'll so the third time you gotta bring them and so it's really it's really better not to ask a third time if you just feel this person's in calcitriol okay I mean yeah yeah yeah coming back as a person's like that's that's true because I connect as an animal super unique that you got to do something really wrong to come back as a as an animal but this person had something else going on cuz when he was alive my student he was a dog as a meaning when he was a person he was about I'm done with like biting people and like and when he went like left to his own devices he would dress as a dog and start biting people he'd put in jail many times if the biting and I mean I use people go into hospital and the body I had to pay the hospital bills my student covered hospital bills for people you pay me back I mean eventually I got my money back but yeah yeah the weirdest things he came back as a dog just totally sick and died on my doorstep but the crazy things back to being rabbi is is that he knew to come to my house I mean I was the only rabbit I mean how many rabbits are gonna stick with a dog meaning out human who thinks he's a dog keep fighting so he was so difficult it was so hard to be his rabbit I mean there's insane insane I'm probably the hardest student I've ever had as a you know just challenging trying to guide him and but I did stick with him he was thrown out of so many people's meeting so many rabbis homes and I never would throw him that I just don't I don't throw people out that's it no matter what and so interesting he came and died on my doorstep when he came back as a dog very interesting no it's a long story I'm just you're just getting a little tidbits yes you're all about this process yeah sadly most people have no idea what they're doing here whether they're having conversations with God when they leave here and when they're on their way back my sense is you do my senses you have that mission given to but no remembers it so it's no good what's the difference you know you know it was sent to you we don't know so but don't and the only reason I sense it is because it's because the person who trained me in hypnosis is also I worked in young Muslims in therapy for fighters and the person who trained me believed in that you could actually do past life regression therapy and trained us how to do it and so I did notice that doing past life therapy that they all got to talk to God meaning us meaning I don't know what kind of talking to God they were really doing because like what level of talking to God are they actually doing but they did get they did get to find out why they were here and they also got to find out what their missions were coming back but then they blew it each time because they didn't know what it was when they were back and I literally took him through I there was one guy that the teacher took through he is one of the one of the students being trained in hypnosis therapist training I mean one of the guys being trained in hypnosis was you know sometimes we were the guinea pigs and he was the guinea pig for a past life this guy this guy went through hell every time he was alive sure he was alive for many years I'll show everyone in life this book is called many lives many masters by dr. Brian L Weiss Chrissy's Jewish Kabbalah says that after the destruction of first temple there's been no new souls introduced to Croatia we're all recycled all of us are recent right but the whatever souls were at Sinai not all of them had bodies yet and so over the next thousand years before the destruction the first time when they were recent it wasn't a thousand years it was yeah it's close to thousand they were recycled there they were in there were there were introduced in bodies in our lifetimes oh how many times we keep coming yeah yeah it's it's tough kid oriented but uh maybe this will help because you had a question or a Peter and a question about the breakdown of souls you all Center question a lot of soul questions we really should have started a new class when we yes I know I really do I'm reading a four-and-a-half-hour personal transformations program tonight and I gotta be like just a little bit fresh for the people who paid in her checking Z to be there you know like I got to be like somewhat fresh for them and I'm coming from a three arm mountain bike ride I still haven't showered I just happen to be the hairless wonder so I don't smell from sports now No thank God thank God my father had like nobody here I somehow inherited that which is great I saved money on cosmetics no just to show you how things work many of less hair than women oh my gosh questions who smells more do witness my learned men I know they're more worried about someone heavy commute can someone Google here do men or women create more body odor well I'm doing my art it turns out locust Kabbalists it's a mock locust amongst the Kabbalists which soul comes body start with by so one opinion is is the majority opinion is that all the bodies come up yeah so she said who gets the soul well guess watch what I'm doing now see one of the mistakes you make and that's what I'm drawing this one of the stakes miss one of the stakes one of the stakes people eat one of the mistakes people make is that one of the mistakes people make is that they think that the body and the soul are one to one ratio your body and soul do not have a one-to-one ratio it's not like like one red ball with one vodka okay it's not this is not a cocktail okay it's so for example you could have a soul let's have them hold hands actually you can have a song that has [Music] all kinds of people that's where the concept of soulmates comes from also yes soulmates and you have many of them there's only one you're supposed to marry yeah many of them meaning you can meet your soulmate how do you you can meet your soulmate and and she's 68 but she's just part of your soul you know that's just to marry her much too though like I know that doesn't sound very egalitarian and all that stuff but but she the one you marry okay the and also I mean you can meet a girl who's your soul mate and she's nine but we'll put you behind bars you marry her yeah yeah but you have lots and lots of these I mean just do the math think about it let's do the math I need lots of phones today we got that one playing music we got mine doing the live feed so if you do the calculation according to what was that sign it we had 600,000 root souls right sorry how many Jews in the world today 14 million so 14 million 14 million divided by 600,000 root souls oops that went too far I'm usually not doing that divided by 600 thousand equals ready for this you ready for how many potential people are walking around with your sole potential I mean we don't know I'm just doing eat I'm making an even man yeah we're right now there's 14 million people 642 million Jews 600,000 roots souls of Judy's [Music] they were the root salts there were also the men in the children there were 3,600,000 root cells here we go you ready twenty-three point three people could be walking around the world who share your soul twenty-three point three I hate to see that point three one dad these would all have to be Jewish these are the jewish souls likely thank you they're very likely family members yeah have any who felt like you're your parents your parents parent you feel like your brother's a parent OB with sure yeah if their soul was one of those souls president sinai but the but there they were they were brought into the world in a gentle body and they have to now catch up with the with their spirit so to speak their spirit was it yes but like a real conversion not like christina cross marrying you know some lawyer in LA what's that your soldier jewish and now regarding what body comes out of the ground because we have this crazy thing called to be us a mason which means the resuscitation of the dead which is really funny but but why is it funny because everything in judaism is so rational and that we have this like like this gigantic like elephant in the room super rational thing of resuscitation of the dead meaning the dead will rise by the way it's really important to get buried in israel because this is where that happens so you don't have miss out so it's good to get buried it's good to get buried in israel always trying to convince me get buried in his room you know I taught it you don't hear something crazy about 20 years ago I took an entire class all the details of why to get buried in Israel listen to this there's a guy in the Kaiser I don't know who the people are the guys like I've never seen this lady before apologize if I have but sorry I never seen that guy back there or whatever so anyway this guy's in the class who doesn't know his toe from his elbow in Judaism nothing all he knows is there's a God and like and it's great to be Jewish you know and he's in my class Noli class he went to about how important it is to be buried in Israel but you ready for this I know nothing about this guy he just walked out of the class I never I don't even recognize I didn't mean when he told me the story I never even I didn't recognize him cuz they've been a couple years he flies back to America exhume his parents bodies apparently his parents must have died very young because this guy was only 20-some years old young 20s he exhumed his parents bodies years after they were buried flies them to Israel buries them in Israel comes right to my class to tell me the great news and I was just like so who's like whoa I mean I guess I could have had the class about anything you know shouldn't had a class on Canaan pogi motors so anyway the guy exhumed his pants but now we had a question why why who do you who comes out of the ground in the resuscitation of the dead and and there's two answers to that one is all your body's come out they all come out which is kind of cool because you're gonna have some amazing drinking buddies you know you're never gonna run out of what to talk about you have everything in common with these people and I'll be able to go mountain biking with probably all of them this is great you know we'll have a whole mountain bike club just our group of souls and anyway so you'll you'll just have a lot in common with them the other opinion which is more of a minority opinion but supercool opinion it's super cool you ready for this every one of the myths was it connected to a part of your body the 248 positive commitments are connected to your limbs and organs you because you have 248 names and organs women have a little different it's really cool how it works with the names of each any shots really cool out works with the numbers but we're not going to do that and I don't remember it anyway I'd have to ask rubbish lumps who knows it moisture sauce and and does anyone know much she's lost from the kotel he lives right next door you ever meet him sometimes can you ask him for me and get back to me just ask him what's the difference in the men's and women's numbers of the organs and their names and stuff anyway you have 248 organs and limbs connected to the positive Commandments and you have 365 connective tissues which are the 365 negative Commandments so all the all the ligaments and the sinews and all the joints and all the connective parts of your body bones are 365 understand so so every time you live your life here in this world every incarnation you're doing specific Commandments like for example you were probably a Cohen once in the temple and all the myths was of Cohen you did and and you were probably once no offense so you were once rabbi you were once a woman I feel bad those people took off do they give any money for the family they just left with that good we're not used to me having a double slot anyway the so you've been there done that by the way it's said it's said and I believe this to be true that every woman has already done the man thing and that's why they're so humble I'm not talking about post-feminism I mean the other thousands of years of a female history yeah what's that no no meaning meaning meaning I was probably once a woman a few times but anyone's a woman with for sure was a man why because women don't get jealous like a real woman is not jealous of her husband you know whatever stupid thing he pretends to do all day you know I could make a living yeah or whatever she's not like oh I wish I was the one out there pretending I do something you know where's the man's like don't say pretend I'm really doing stuff out there this is important you know of course God God's the ultimate stamp he says no you're pretending and I want you to stop pretending once a week on Shabbat why do you think God makes us stop working once a week because you're we're all pretending we do stuff I'm not doing anything God's doing all this God does everything we do and it was once upon a time that women actually got that and there are still some women who get that men don't get it men think they're doing things and that's why men don't like Shabbos as much because it's like you want me to what I'm gonna put down my CrackBerry for 24 hours what will happen doesn't everyone need me and the men are so sad that no one's gonna remember them you know 100 years from now none of us no one's gonna marry any of us like I think there may be something like liked old freak who's like loves vintage YouTube videos that will maybe know who I am like some total freak who's like just the weirdest guy of the generation is like and he's like watching my videos cuz they at least get everyday printed on here but no one's gonna remember me you nobody I mean is there anyone in this room can name anything that anyone said or did unless of course they wrote a book VIN then it's not fair because books last but didn't anyone mention anyone that anyone said or did of your own direct way I mean it would be great great-great great-great grandparents they don't remember any of that stuff I don't know a single detail and this is the beauty of women in women her just like who cares you know let's just sit with some candlelight and stare into each other's eyes for the next two hours the man's just like all right how am i doing cuz he just wants to go doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo but then there's do to everyone and they and and the fact that women have fallen into that it's like so sad and the fact that I managed to raise girls who are not like that it's an open miracle an open miracle especially being mine kids show me everybody have a great day enjoy
