I always do that Shalom and welcome to
Asia Tara here in the old city this
class is called practical spirituality
and it is in the Old City of Jerusalem
overlooking the Temple Mount and
sighting times we even have people off
the wall Tay it's just great
anyone else off the wall anyone else got
here off the wall I fall I'm meeting
someone someone said hey you Jewish or
you want to hear a class new you guys
are off the wall guys today so it's
especially welcome you know why because
if you get if you somehow wound up from
down there up to you here did you do the
stairs or the elevator if you went up
from down there up to here it means
God's got your address more than the
person standing next to you and it was
orchestrating events and this class is
entitled why you love chaos some of us
are are kind of freaked out by the new
year because we're such chaos junkies
that we just don't want to know hear of
chaos we were hoping this year might
like come out a little more balanced a
little more orderly a little more you
know functional or whatever but what
we're discussing today is our addiction
to chaos le mayor you want to sit next
to this guy like that spot a lot if you
know if you don't mind something that I
prefer but you can sit wherever you want
anyway the what is this addiction to
chaos such that we I mean raise your
hand in the room if you sabotage the
order of your life regularly anyone
hears sabotage the order of the life
regular that's like most of you I wasn't
even expecting that I figured maybe half
of you sabotage the order of your life
and I'm the same too I literally I don't
know if I've ever had three days come
out the same and I'm talking to like
major activities like stuff you would
expect me to be there cuz it's like part
of hi and welcome back it's like you
would expect me to be there there's a
nice spot right here in the middle
either here or in there
so anyway but I will sabotage it when I
get to that third day I will get my own
way and make sure that somehow I changed
it up in some in some way or another and
personally it bothers me but I see I do
it and it must be I love chaos somehow
Scouse serves me and so I'd like to talk
about a little bit about what is this
addiction and chaos we have and it's not
just us you know the would you think of
like a financial guy who is like running
a big you know fund or or you know it
met in you know Midtown or downtown
Manhattan and he's like you know got the
suits just right and like the haircuts
just right and he's got it all buttoned
up what do you say he's more into order
and we're into chaos
sounds like an order guy right yeah you
go watch this guy during the year he
makes all these crazy bets on the stock
market that literally put his his hears
every investor that's investing with him
in jeopardy and what's hot ladies
welcome welcome he puts he puts he puts
all of his investors in jeopardy he's
putting his wife and kids in jeopardy
now he looks like mr. put together I
mean this guy is you know he he actually
reports properly at the end of the year
to his accountants and you know he's got
everything buttoned up probably more
than you do
yet he is addicted to chaos come here a
soundbite at least not you I was talking
to rap this rabbi here Hado rabbi what's
up I was talking about our addiction to
chaos oh wow oh my god is that your
daughter even though the married ones a
grandkid yeah that's the dog yeah you're
not that old yeah I
it's I'm eight I made her begged him to
come in with because when I got to
Israel with my long hair like at a
hundred of these coming
my back so actually have a picture of
the two of us on my phone you gave that
to Manny
anyway this case this case saved my life
one of the people Samuel Sam sent me but
anyway welcome welcome so we're talking
about chaos and how we love Cass and I
was even saying that a guy a stock
trader who seems like the most put
together and you know guy in the world
is constantly going into Cass and loves
it loves it couldn't live without it and
you know he should be doing maybe a
little more responsible job with the
money that people are investing in him
but yet he'll take risks he'll put it
all on the line over and over again cuz
he loves it in other words we're
addicted to chaos
well chaos has a big history when it
comes to creation in fact what is the
very beginning of the Torah say in the
beginning what was there Tohu vivo had
he translate that in English chaos
it started with chaos and what was that
chaos well when you ask the Kabbalists
it was darkness and light were mixed it
was a mixture of darkness in life and
when God said let there be light I know
you were all thinking there was no light
and then there was light no what it
means is that the darkness light were
mixed in chaos and God said let there be
light he's separated light from the
darkness
to make order and our world of order is
ultimately a relationship of darkness
and light because God's obviously light
in this world you know if they're like
the light over here this this is light
and that's filtering light with darkness
I'm creating darkness but when you use
darkness and light together it creates
an image so by blocking light we
actually get the image on the board so
the darkness and light are very
important things and and it's hard to
tell which one exactly skansen which
ones order because light just kind of
goes and goes and goes and when
something expands it creates chaos and
darkness creates order out of camp
when you're watching a film which is
ultimately like going through the cells
so those cells are creating order
because we know a film is just watching
light on the screen would be and the
purest form of chaos it's just pure
light that's expanding out of the
projector but by limiting that light
with some darkness you now have and you
can enjoy the film experience which is
chaos and order in relationship chaos is
where you grow order is where you feel
safe
think about it the more orderly your
life is the safer you feel so order has
a place it feels safe
chaos has a place because we grow there
you won't grow from order you just don't
grow there one of the couple things
people love to do for example travel how
many are traveling right now are how
many earth anyone here traveling right
now traveling okay
that's chaos you're creating chaos and
you actually spent money on it you
actually invested your money and time
for chaos cuz you never know what's
gonna happen when you travel all there's
a lot more variables one gift great
Rebbe said that then it's a mitzvah to
travel or be Nachman said there's some
in sort of travel why because it gives
God a lot more variables to play with so
he can be involved with you in ways that
he probably couldn't even be involved
with you in your like regular Bermuda
triangles of like home work gym or
homework cafe where you get your coffee
you know it's a very limited amount of
variables once you start traveling God
can just pull out all kinds of crazy
things and and you grow a lot from the
chaos of the travel yeah
so that's already like dysfunctional
relationship to Cass meaning when we're
afraid to look inside because of the
caste that could bring and you ever felt
that way like you just don't want to
open it up you know you don't want to go
in there because it's going to be chaos
oh I see what you're saying sorry I was
going much deeper than that yeah Cass
can can be a distraction from from
looking inside and then they wound up
not growing yeah yeah that's that's
pretty pretty dysfunctional which what I
said the first time when I misunderstood
him
but it's only getting worse the the you
know I I run a program where my whole
job is to put everyone in the
programming chaos I have to put them in
Cass and the men's group usually like by
the end of the week I've got them all
back to order the women's group when I
run a women's group I'm just like by the
end of the week I've now sent them off
into an orbit of cast that will last
maybe up to three months or something a
serious cast but that's where we grow
and I warn them by the way in the very
entry say you're going into chaos now
and and I also commend them for the
courage to go into chaos because if you
want to grow in your life you're gonna
need chaos
now here's something interesting is that
institutions are about order or Cass
institutions it's pretty easy question
total order and they're like they're
gonna impose order and keep out chaos
and which can be very harmful for
individuals because tell me if you run
an organization or an institution you
want people to be more the same or more
individualistic as same you want to
sleep well you want everyone to be as
the same as possible
and so they're trying to create sameness
institutions generally try to create
sameness now have you ever met two
people the same there's no such thing as
two people so there's no such thing as
sameness and so while they're busy
creating order its it can be and on the
at the expense of true education because
what would if you were educating someone
are you trying to bring out who they are
or are you trying to create them into
something you want
okay very good
but but you but you're ultimately trying
to bring out you're trying to draw them
out right there's a lot of education
system they're trying to hold you in you
get that anyone here raise your hand
have you ever felt like your education
system was trying to keep you in now
it's easy for you to judge those
education systems but you go try being a
what do they call a min ha hell someone
from hell okay you go try being you go
try being an administrator and sleep at
night so it's very interesting that it's
a tremendous challenge to run an
organization that's there to educate
people which means to bring out what's
special within them while at the same
time keeping your organization together
because individuals are what make you
lose sleep this is a fun institution
that's changed a lot since you were here
in that in that chaos was like what it
was all about you know like and we just
had so every single person was his own
little universe and it just was building
for that and what was really useful for
that was you never had to worry about
their parents because their parents
hated the fact that their kid was
studying in Israel so you didn't have to
please anyone they're already extremely
displeased so you know who's your client
who was your client the student or the
parents the student getting you don't
even know the parents parents like would
wouldn't even call you they hate you or
something for having their kids studying
in Israel
and that the problem is is when you have
an education system which is all the
other education systems and we've
morphed our way over there to is when
you actually have parents sending to you
who's the client the student are the
parents who's the who's the true client
the parents are the client well that's
gonna be pretty dangerous well I don't
want to say we're dangerous but that's
not going to be a good recipe for
education like if you're in a school you
want to be the client you want your
parents to be the client you want to be
the client you're the one in there but
if you if the administration spending
all their time trying to make sure the
parents never get called meaning did I
just say that that the parents never
call to complain like what the world's
going on over there you know so then
what happens is you're not really
educating you're just keeping everybody
in line so that you never have to hear
from parents hear that it's a really
important we identify our clients okay
so the bottom line is we love chaos but
do we need order yeah we need order we
love Cass
we need order and you you ever felt that
feeling where things were to cadogan you
really had to come back to order you
might feel that while traveling like
it's just like enough like I want to get
back to my my routine cuz it's just too
much
I felt that big time after the the
holidays after the holidays you know I
was throwing big parties and it was like
yeah a game I didn't know where I was I
by the end by the time the holidays
ended and then I took my wife away we
went to the mountains for two days in
there I didn't even know what time it
was for a couple days and it's our
anniversary we got married right after
the holidays we hit 24 years
coming up on her
we had our tequila party the tequila
part in the Mexican fiesta yeah I
promised my neighbors that this would
have been the last year yeah they're
just like they're just like what does
that have to do with Sukkot we got like
drunk people in my neighborhood wearing
sombreros you know singing la Cucaracha
you know some little kid at the end of
Sukkot we were done with the circuit
which is a white burned down because no
one was there it was there we were
already back in the house for sympathia
and like two hours before the holiday
started we and it yeah that's okay our
sicka went up in flames a security
camera yeah I was just like yeah there
it is on fire yeah it was a security
camera the weirdest thing is my brother
wrote a song called goodness gracious
gracious my suckas on fire which is
really funny really a funny little kid
was playing with matches he went in he
saw no one there and I guess he found
matter oh yeah man are you just on the
security cam you see a little kid run
out and then all the Sun like smoke and
like I'm glad you guys think it was
funny
where's that this is the first year
anyone even mentions it to us cuz like
now we can start laughing about it but
we had like 27 years and thousands of
hours of handcrafted art decoration in
there even from like like my mother in
1991 paper cuts I mean stuff that's like
beyond irreplaceable you know and we
still haven't decorated we meeting we
haven't quite gotten over it so like now
it's very stately it kind of looks like
the Waldorf it's couple of curtains and
ties and
sashes and it's like it looks like a
hotel soca which looks great right it's
fine all everyone wants anyway is a
draught beer and some music so that's
still available how was it then you
shake my rattle you shake my Astro again
you rattle my fruit
this ain't no lemon in a fancy in a
fancy suit oh no you know the zester
cost a lot of loot and ain't no lemon in
a fancy suit
goodness gracious on fact anyway so so
we took the security camera video put it
on youtube with my brother's song but
the craziest thing is the very last
split-second of the song is right when
the security camera melts me the
security camera melted in the heat and
but you literally see it like black out
on the last note inside it's like and
then the camera melts like like it was
you know it's like three minutes and
twenty one and a half seconds it's worse
that your shawl knees are like the
miracle of the circuit like everything
has to be in a miracle if you're
observant it's uh you know when you're
at or observant like whatever happens to
is a miracle maybe the fact that we
don't burn you know in the sukkah right
it's a miracle of course we weren't in
the sukkah so it's like what's the
miracle part all I know is I lost my
suka oh the miracle every year someone
reminds me of the miracle they think I
should be like benching go Mel and like
maybe I should have a Seifert or written
and throw a kid ish you know I'm just
like No thank you I'll just I just need
to get over it you know okay
but anyway about order is like after
this circus I was ready for word
and but we got out we have to we have to
look at our lives and make sure the
order parts order and the chaos is cast
and embrace that cast we're fine be good
with chaos but also be be like come back
to order now there's some people in this
room we're too orderly they're just
overly ordered and they're not really
growing the egg cast scares them there's
people cast scares them like there are
people for example are afraid to do my
seminar I know but these people that are
afraid to come do the work I run and
it's all I most everyone of them they
got a ton of excuses that I know deep
down they're afraid to open it up like
you were saying I think they're afraid
to open it up and get inside there and
see what's going on they know that's
gonna be chaotic to look inside okay you
know I what can I do it I got a plenty
of other people want to do the seminar
so enjoy your life now interestingly
marriage tends to take that stuff out
you should know by the way um what's
your name show them yeah sorry I forgot
anything you know the one marriage
causes your chaos to come out
meaning when you're single you can keep
your life pretty much buttoned up but
there's something about marriage that
makes like all your inner stuff start
oozing out and it like leaks all over
your spouse and your spouse is like what
is this though you know they're like
Lily you're especially and you're like
you're like covering up a leaky spot
you're like I don't know so marriage
just causes like major leaks which is
really beautiful about marriages that is
that our real growth comes from marriage
sometimes I get blessings to people
we've been single for too long in their
opinion so you know what I tell them I
tell them I bless you to finish the
growth that you'll get as a single
person because once you're finished with
your growth isn't single person well
you're only put here to grow so
therefore the only way you'll get to the
next
through marriage you need to go through
the crucible of marriage that will cause
your growth so so you you really want to
make beings let's put it like this if
the world is about growth
you want to make being single obsolete
that you you can't grow anymore as us in
the person you've done the max growth as
a single person the only growth you can
get now is by being locked into a
relationship because locked in
relationships caused a lot of growth
because there's no way out there's no
way out this is the danger are you guys
married by any chance
oh no Mazel Tov wow that's great news
thank God
so you're in you're in good shape so
anyway the think what an insult it is to
being a boyfriend/girlfriend
relationship when an insult that is what
are you altima saying this person you're
seeing this person I'm not willing to
commit to you but I'll hang around until
something better comes along or I'll
hang around until I feel you're too much
of a hassle to deal with cuz that's how
people break up is when it becomes too
big a hassle and there wasn't a there
wasn't enough of a commitment to stick
around
why would I stick around if this person
has become high maintenance for me now
the beauty of marriage why we grow is
cuz there's no way out I mean there is a
way out but it's gonna cost you about
$50,000 and and it's gonna be like all
hell's gonna break loose and you're
gonna you're gonna say like they have a
saying that the only thing worse than
the only thing worse than a bad marriage
is divorce no it's not true but it is
hell no one gets divorcing comes out
okay you know meaning which is good you
think in like oh man that sounds
terrible no it's good because you wanted
you your growth comes from places you're
stuck in we can't get out same thing
with being Jewish
to get out of that you know you're in
you're in you're like what are you gonna
do is nothing you can do you can't get
out of they can't convert out of Judaism
in marriage or could Judaism we're just
in general when you can't get out we're
on you can't get out a lot of people do
that a lot of people do that I mean
that's subjects not really the subject
we're on but I'll answer it just cuz its
essentials and you get to ask whatever
you want in this class so oh good the
baby's back so we don't mind the little
pipsqueak noises the pipsqueak noises
are great I mean it says she yeah no one
would dare bring a boy into a class bam
bam you know so anyway maybe turn the
stroller a little bit so she can see me
better and then she might there you oh
there she goes
she wants raisins minions and there
they're a laxative so anyway what were
you talking about oh yeah just a handle
that for a minute
is people who numb their emotions are
it's like anything else in life you if
you're into numbing you you have to do
do the economic you got a play economy
what's economy economy is you always
trade a lesser good for greater good so
meaning for right now maybe numbing is
the greater good and dealing with your
issues of lesser good but how long is
that gonna last that nothing's the
greater good for anybody there's a time
for it I mean I can understand a guy
who's just gonna go drink a 12-pack of
beer sometimes you know I understand
that guy and and by the way it may be
the better move right now is just go
drink a 12-pack of beer and use it over
to get home but uh numbing is fine on
the short-term but how is that gonna be
in the long-term
what's gonna cost more so the answer is
is that someone who's numbing their
emotions numbing their inside pain their
inner pain is going to be paying big
time later being totally so so you just
got it it's gonna it's math just do the
math you know you did the math I'm
buying that watch or your sweater or
your you do the math and buying that
notebook or your cell phone or the cover
for your cell phone you you always do
math we're always doing the math of
which one's the better in which which
costs what cost is better when you buy
the coat you're saying this five check
is worth less and that cokes worth more
you always doing man
so some people are know there's plenty
of people doing really bad math and
that's why it's important when you're
doing bad man's is to project what's
this gonna look like if I keep going
there if I keep playing that game what's
that gonna look like and what's gonna
who's out of me when I get married if
I've been numbing my stuff what's that
gonna look like when that all comes
flying out out of control you know in
marriage and so you say to yourself you
know what this it doesn't add up for me
anymore I'm good I'm gonna have to get
into a safe environment and let all that
raw pain out I gotta let it all out and
go for the full convulsive cry you know
sobbing and and that you know someone
hold me why you know just let it all go
to go to an environment where they can
get it all out yeah for sure there's
actually a mint how do you get them
there yeah you know I'm running a Hebrew
seminar tonight for men yeah so you you
there's other tricks you tell him it's
to help someone else you know other
people in his life tell him that it'll
give him all the tools to help someone
and you should come for the other person
there's all kinds of tricks
it's not for you anyway but but no yeah
well you know but you he probably thinks
you think he needs it so maybe switch
gears to he doesn't need it it's just
gonna be good for somebody else if he
has the information as if there was a
lot of information
I'm gentleman by the way whole English
speaking men in the room I am running a
seminar in three Sundays from today I
don't know what date that is but I have
three Sundays from now I am running a
mints seminar which I haven't been doing
very much lately I've been traveling
more seminars I've got one in New York
in November I've got one here in three
weeks for men and there's another Center
run by a colleague of mine which is a
super intense seminar where you have no
it's also personal transformation work
but it's it's called the well of being
you know like well being as the well
well of being and the well of beings
happening now to four men and that's
it's a three-day retreat three-day
retreat no watches no phones you don't
know what time it is I mean just when
you thought you had nothing left to cry
out you're another bucket of water comes
out of your body some
now you know and it's it's a real trip
that one mine's not like that points
means it more of a technology this is a
this is like really cry out all your
stuff that's going on so if you're
interested in that be in touch me I can
get in touch with with that particular
seminar by the way the reason you anyone
notice how popular seminars on the last
decade or two you know why that is the
reason that is is because as the
generations go we get less and less
access to grow like real growth and so
the access is getting less and less on
our own meaning if you think you can
read a book and be transformed forget
about it you can't it just won't work
yeah you'll get a good idea here a good
idea there maybe it'll pick you up for a
day or two you're going right back down
though you're going right back into your
patterns so what's happening is we're
living in a generation where you really
got to put your soul body you got to put
like your whole beam on the altar and
just offer it up to some like seminar
guru which I've trained to be I've got
over 8,000 graduates in 17 years running
my work but you in I'm not lacking
participants like you none of you have
to come to my semi pro the gym it's been
full but the you can offer yourself oh
you you must offer yourself up to a
personal growth guru and let them take
you on your journey otherwise forget
about it you're not going anywhere and
that's just the way it is yeah we're all
stuck with seminars now you know you
can't notebook you can save your money
on books now once you do a seminar the
books get more relevant but till you've
done a seminar just save your money on
books you need to put yourselves anyone
here put themselves in the line of fire
of a personal growth guru he's done it
you know anyone else did it you guys
ever did it it's intense
sure that had no problems now I'm not
gonna speak about online but it was a
particular group had too many of their
people in their group going to that
seminar and it got hey guy what's the
word I'm looking for
not at all no it got meaning doesn't our
group fulfill everything everyone ever
needed like why are people outsourcing
you understand too many people from one
particular group started going to this
seminar okay and they and the group got
was sort of like me insecure the group
itself like leaders of the group are
like hey don't we offer you everything
you've ever needed you know like why are
you going somewhere else
whereas and by the way I won't even take
people from that group I wouldn't take
it open it because I saw what they did
to this poor seminar and I was like stay
away from those people you know you
meaning they literally attacked in did I
do days one of the most serious offenses
which is called character assassination
of the of a very simple Jew who led that
group that was all a joke it was a total
joke I know firsthand and it was it was
a total setup you know media slam yeah
pretty horrible very sad chapter and Jim
should protect anyone
shimshi protect anyone who harms the
reputation of the department
right okay anyway so you should all get
out there get out there and go to a
similar the only thing I can warn Jews
about is that is that you have to be a
little careful because seminar leaders
seminar leaders if you're Jewish
seminar leaders aren't necessarily
keeping Judaism and you you have to
surrender to do the work you understand
you gotta surrender totally you're not
gonna get it like you don't get it until
you surrender
once you surrender all of a sudden you
get these giant breakthroughs but do you
really want to be surrounding yourself
in his situation with someone who
doesn't know anything about Judaism or
how your souls Jewish Souls require
tremendous amount of protection and we
have you guys think we have 613
commandments no we don't we have 613
hyperlinks you click on each commandment
it takes you to a website where you can
just take down the scroll button cuz
this is gonna keep going with thousands
of laws there we actually counted the
laws you know many laws there are you
know much the 613 hyperlinks breaks into
fifty five thousand laws that's what did
you ask to keep meaning you have to be a
master of distinctions of details to
live the life as a Jewish man or woman
so you want to put yourself on the altar
surrender totally to some amazing guru
and even Tony Robbins or any of the
other great ones out there but they
don't know the first thing about the
protection of a Jewish soul and you're
you're more open at that point when you
finish the seminar you are more open to
suggestion then like you've ever been in
your life which is a beautiful place to
be
if you can trust the one who's gutting
you but if you can't trust the one is
guiding him because he doesn't know the
first thing about Jewish souls so you
got to be careful I'm just saying if you
got I'm not saying you can't go I'm just
saying you gotta be careful careful with
where you go and and what you do with
your graduation day there you know and I
you know I've definitely I've had people
call me saying they're already signed up
they're going any last words I didn't
tell them so I'm like you know last
words are finished the program say
goodbye you're not signing up for you
know like bill they'll put in like they
literally put you spent like a lot of
money you know you spent like whatever
brand or something they'll put like 30%
marketing for their next level during
your grant like while you're well you're
they're teaching you they're already
selling you you know but join this you
know they're already taking you for the
next level and so I tell them finish the
seminary didn't say goodbye and just go
back to your life do not hang around
their next level thing you want to go to
the next level go to the next level
just not now like get out of there
reintegrate integrate everything you
learned later you feel like they can
help you see what you're gonna do then
okay any random questions down yeah
every senator doesn't something
different but what they do is they call
you on your scrap without yes yeah yeah
they call you out beep now you don't
even know what your stuff is young man
okay you don't even know your stuff you
think you know your stuff but you're so
in it yeah after what yeah I mean it's
really hard to smell yourself
you know when you have vo I mean there's
ways to do that but you know that's the
whole that's why everyone's so scared
you know I think all deodorant companies
are getting or you know they're making
their living off people's absolute fear
that they can't smell themselves I've
had to Toby because I smell the dirt I'd
rather smell them than their do dirt so
I've had to tell people like I'll let
you know when you stink okay I promise
I'll let you know but you've lost sight
of this and you're just moving through
deodorant sticks one after the other you
know out of pure fear that you someone
may smell you you know it's like let
someone smell you once in a while to
just get the right amount of deodorant
going rather than you just wasting all
your money and absolute terror of being
smelled it's hard to bring this up but
you know you understand we're so in it
we can't see it it'd be like you know
it's like you know it's a good example
is fish in an aquarium imagine you could
interview a fish now what they should be
able to explain the most is water I mean
they need it to survive they spend their
whole life in water they should be good
explainers of water right but you
imagine a fish trying to explain water
there's so in it they can't see it they
don't have any context for it because
it's it's their very life so are your in
your stuff so deep that you don't even
see it and what's scary about that is
that when you're trying to grow let's
say you're like trying to grow em you
we're trying very specifically when
you're trying to grow
you realize you're trying to grow in
your stuff Wally in it what you're in
the all kinds of stuff you don't even
see and then like you know trying to let
everyone know how much you're growing
I'm into growth but I've learned over
the last couple decades that anyone
who's trying to grow who's not putting
themselves in the line of fire of
somebody else which in my circles it's
our my Rebbe you know this great
Kabbalistic Rebbe who's like he is not
shy to fire he will fire at me if you
don't put yourself in a line of fire
somebody who knows what they're doing
and knows how to fire your you're a
joker no offense but your whole growth
thing is a joke it's a joke
if you're not putting yours on the line
of fire you're just you're trying to
create an image of someone who's into
growth but you're not really girls and
say you got it you got to put yourself
out there and let someone let someone
try to blow you away
oh thank you I'm just one more thing I
want to say is that there are
individuals and it may be you there are
individuals who are like absolute
personal growth freaks they're one in
like 500 who can do it
meaning they they see their own stuff
and they call themselves out and they
and they and they own it they own it and
they're there they're still putting
themself when to fire people but they
actually can do it on their own
so there are people like that so I don't
want to say no one can but they're like
one in hundreds one in hundreds is that
guy I'm not that guy by the way I I used
to fool myself thinking I was I'm
totally not I need someone to whoop my
behind so to speak I need someone just
just crack crack crack the whip it is I
need someone to crack a whip to wake me
up which is another good thing about
marriages it's often my wife
and thing cuz she's not shy to let me
know of course it's much more painful to
hear from your spouse then then someone
you've actually elected in that role you
know to have your spouse nail you but uh
but it's nice having a built in person
to rake me over the coals once in a
while even though I you know of course I
deny everything for about a day and then
like 24 hours later I start to realize
she's right and of course it's total
double standard gentlemen never try this
with your wife okay your wife's always
perfect you never call her out on
anything you can send her away to some
seminar but you you stay out of it like
she did she's perfect you know she's
absolutely there's certain double
standards in marriage that are funny
like for example if your wife's feeling
cranky every man has the right to pay no
attention to her they do good you just
pay no attention you're just completely
ignore them when a man's feeling cranky
the wife's life so you're feeling cranky
and you know and they'll like totally
get in your heads faced with you in life
like be there with you and then of
course she's feeling cranky a couple
days later and you're just like I'm
leaving she's like I just totally was
there for you while you were cranky and
you're like that's nice goodbye you know
I'll see you when you're feeling better
and and and there's other things like
for example offering comments of
improvement never do that with a woman
never but her doing it to you always
yeah so there's all these double
standards and marriages just fine yeah
you got to be aware you gotta be very
aware on that
but yeah I definitely don't offer any
improvement comments for your spouse
when you're married okay we basically
hit it anyone anyone here have a anyone
here have a random question or anything
like just a point about today's class
okay it wasn't one of my like exciting
class I apologize those worries to my
exciting classes but it just wasn't that
class today what say we got in chaos and
order yeah so in general in general our
lives are ordered and what happens is
the chaos we naturally go towards chaos
because we want to grow as people so
will naturally go towards chaos but the
second you start feeling insecure it's
time to pull back to order
second you're feeling insecure it's
order time like I by the end of the
month of Tishrei I was feeling insecure
I literally was feeling like I don't
know which ways up which means down
north south east west I'm feeling like
like a ship without a rudder like I
don't have a steer and I knew I'm ready
for order big time and that's why I say
I'm so excited the first thing I said
when I walked in was how much I love the
winters mom this winter period because
it's just much more order and I need
that right now
so you knowing once you're feeling
insecure it's order time and and then
those there's those people are just too
orderly and to secure and they need to
put themselves out there and get
themselves woken up shaking up gonna
shake them up
tell them everybody towards a pleasure
as usually
