da [Music] lock oh he's ding it yeah VIs f as long as it goes on the refrigerator in the [Music] middle okay refrigerator is good huh waiting every [Music] moment okay good morning everybody Welcome here's copies right here if you want to take one of the copies thank you for making the [Music] copies yeah yeah yeah yeah we're learning inside yeah okay today's class is dedicated in honor of man Ben for his safe return from his service in and dedicated of course to all of our soldiers and all of our brothers and sisters in AR Isel especially the families of the those who are wounded and the wounded and the families of those who lost loved ones who are murdered and of course those who in captivity and their families and all of Kal Israel okay in the previous year we learned what was their mistake we want to make for ourselves a name after this such a flood after such destruction and destruction that came from people being in falling down in such a low space what's important is that people should realize that the purpose is not to make for myself a name but the purpose is something that's deeper that's that's higher that's more eternal that's Eternal that's Transcendent they fell into that trap of making ourselves a name which first of all the very purpose is something that's very flimsy it's not real and second of all it allows for methods that are also unjust because my name over everything that was the main point and he gave a lesson in this generation After the flood of the Holocaust what must be the approach of the Jewish people in rebuilding sh yeah we finished that page 753 is another if you see page 753 the second column this is another another address by the that was said on is the spring of 1962 when you learn so focusing on a mish in but it's published in volume 3 because it deals with the generation from to oh that's what we're going to see now that's what we're going to see now could you bring me a s yeah so why did these two come together so is basically a compilation of talks of the Reb Reb with faing on chabas and yam and other occasions during the year not every shabas but shabas and other special shabas and uh speak about many many different topics could be from Caba rash about chabas about about General themes and topics they started to publish they compiled some of those talks prepared them the de would edit them and that's how started to come out in the earlier years they would put together a few for the so people would also be able to give it over in schs teach it so the compilers put together for two things that uh you know were timely were relevant were meaningful and very presentable to people so and then they gave it into add it and it was published why is it not just as a separate one in the earliest years when they did they T did it that way they would put a few together and it would continue one from the other not sure why it was done that way I don't know I have to find out okay yeah okay so you know to trouble you forish sorry I'm sorry predacious okay so just to give context there's a very famous fifth chapter of 10 Generations from and the Mish says enumerates these generations to teach you how much how much uh know patience or uh how much God uh prolongs his upsetness all these Generations created so much angst created so much pain they created so much anger and destruction in the world and he waited till he brought the Waters of the flood 10 Generations all the way from 10 generations to that's where the enumerates all these generation was getting worse and worse and worse and worse it waited all the way till then the Mish continues another 10 Generations from to if you read in the Tor goes through a genealogy right the the families Adam had a son Cen son he third son was Shas and then we go through the genealogy right who gave birth to whom who gave birth to who fathered whom who fathered whom who fathered whom how long he lived all the way till you come to n then you have at the end of n 10 Generations all the way you all the way from n the way till you come down you have n had three sons sh and ya all the way till you come down to and again 10 Generations so the Mish says again exactly the same words to let you know how much patience hasem had because all the generations from again were creating cast they were creating anger and provoking negativity they were creating negativity came and he re received the reward for all these 10 Generations so two two two statements in the Mish from he mentions it to see how much patience he had that all of them were creating destruction and Havoc until he brought the mble only 10 Generations later and remember a generation wasn't just 25 years from Adam to you're talking about 1500 years people lived very long and was also a few hundred so it's not just a few Dozen Years from was approximately 1500 years so he waited till they brought the mble and then also to teach you how much patience he had that even though they all provoked him until came and received a reward for everybody that's what the M say what what are you asking get to Kasha how do you know it's a good how do I know it's a good Kasha not cuz the clay asks it's cu the asks it this one the asks huh yeah yeah he's asking the question that the is going to open up with you don't say received a reward for everybody why there was no reward you're saying all the generations were creating Havoc they were creating right suddenly came and what you could say he fixed the world he started to do things differently he got this sky for everybody which Sky did he get what's so they mean they so they had to be rewarded so they had to be rewarded what are you saying there's something there's a tremendous discrepancy in the mishna between what happens from and what happens from by it just says he waited to bring the flood okay in other words patience patience patience maybe we could try this maybe we could try this maybe we could try this maybe we could fix the world there's no hope let's go back to uh the drawing board as they say create a blank slate and start over again so you would expect 10 Generations from to teach you how much patience he had because all these Generations will and now you would expect until came did nothing and finally started to fix things says came and got the reward for everybody what if they will hold and and if there is some reward that we're not over here so so should also gotten the reward you should have said the same thing there translates how much forbearance or patience he has means provoked negatively this is not understood means understood inish if you tell me that it was 10 Generations that each generation was deteriorating more and more and more after so where is there a reward that they have to receive that is getting that's question number one now the question becomes much more from the Paradox with the previous mishna the question in end of itself is a powerful question where's you're contradicting yourself tell me 10 Generations were rotten potatoes until came and he got the reward for everybody what reward forther in earlier in the same M I started it doesn't say came and receiv the reward for all of them it doesn't say that says till came and then Hashem brought the mble why didn't receive this for everybody we understand why they didn't reward over somebody you hire somebody to to to in your company to help to fix things and he destroys everything yeah you're not paying him a wage you're not giving him does exact opposite of what you brought him in to do he destroys things so they didn't get they didn't need they didn't deserve means deserve so the question is now even stronger this discrepancy Why by a with the m uses the same language that they were wreaking havoc suddenly a comes and he gets reward for all these Generations so you might answer maybe the 10 Generations from were much worse from there was some good things but then the mishna is using something as because the Miss uses the exact same expression for both for both parts of History by by and exactly the same words are used for the generations from so if you want to bring out that it's a different type of generations at least someone and therefore there's a don't use exactly the same word you know they were bad they were bad but one of them gets reward the other one one one one them has reward and the other one doesn't something is offir yeah different you know was destroy the worldy right so we know that he wasn't going to destroy the world by a you're asking a good question CU he made a covenant with n never again that whatever happens there's no mble again he's not going back on on that so we understand that the response after was it's always different right was saved right but it doesn't say it says he was saved on the contrary there was noar so he himself was saved cuz he wasn't part of that evil he wasn't part of that evil behavior of but right not only he was saved everybody was saved because there's no mble anymore but the question is at the end of these 10 Generations there were two major events the beginning of and the end of at the end of the 10 Generations from to was the generation of the flood that concluded the 10 Generations that's the era of and that generation included and summed up the 10 generations and that's why the mble wiped off the sins of all the nine this was like the end the end of an era now began a new era when he came out of the T then at the end of the 10 Generations from the time of you had What's called the the generation that built the Tower of B and they were dispersed means dispersed which is at the end of par and that's why right after par end of was born and Begins the story of so you have two stories that sum up these 10 Generations the story of the flood and the story of the Tower of bubble when they were scattered so from these two stories you have a summation of what these Generations looked like in terms of the fact that they W havoc and they were different even though on both you say exactly the same words you know what K means is real yish no body uses these words very few people use these words today K means K means K means a paradox huh two opposite points about the the the penalty the punishment of the generation of the flood and the generation that built the Tower in B and they were dispersed and scattered everywhere you find a paradox is in terms of consequences in this world you can't even compare the generation of the flood they were eliminated the flood wiped out everybody besides those that were in the T and his family that's what fertil means ftil means they were completely um eliminated the nobody was eliminated it just says Hashem split them apart he spread them around the earth they weren't anym concentrated together so they couldn't continue their project but they weren't eliminated they weren't killed they didn't die they didn't perish so you can't even compare right one is a punishment of complete complete destruction they all perished and one is they were scattered this is in this world when it comes to the consequences of the flood were much worse you can't even compare the two wiped out perished or or being scattered when it comes to is you see the opposite point it says in the Mish sanin like he says in 12 and there's no other opinion everybody holds that that the they don't have a portion in the next world it's not so simple the says but then there's another opinion in Z that they do have a so how do you understand this difference if the is much worse and you see that in they were completely wiped out so why do they have a better better a better situation to the point that there's that's what it looks like yeah the famous based good people which means the pious ones good one from who observe that's even today h don't worry about it h you don't just repeat the question we're looking for the differential between we're looking to understand the Paradox in this world the was punished much more than Thea in the next World we see that the right is considered to be a far greater sin than the dur why is there this contradiction if the durble is obviously so much worse they were wiped off the Earth not like the dirt were just scattered so it should reflect itself also huh but but you see that the is different so so then should have been worse inion Okay so so let's see Z when you speak about which means consequences it's not St I'm GNA get you back it's always based on the blemish you'll say one person needs this type of treatment medical treat another this type why why can't the doctor give everybody the same medical treatment the answer is because it's a different type of infection it's a different type of illness so the work every person just like in our own life the work a person needs to go through is based on what they have to deal with right what I'm dealing with is not what you're dealing with so when you talk the same is true in all forms of cleansing and recovery and healing you always have to know what's there's no comparing it's always so you have to go back to what what the blemish was what the infection was what the disease was what the issue is what the struggle is don't look at the punishment you have to always go back to the source to the because the punishment the it's just a consequence based on the blemish what's the difference the is the symptom is the symptom yeah looking for the the word discomfort right don't just identify the the symptom identify what's the cause of it yeah so quote from and after the flood Rashi brings they said we're going to bring we're going to build towers we're going to overpower nature we're going to control this world taken away from God in other words they extended their hand means in the source com in terms of civilization they were actually very appropriate to each other so he says they weren't lost from this world because actually in World issues they knew how to behave with each other yeah they created they created a social Community a social contract if you will that was that that was that was appropriate that was nice they there was friendship there was loyalty there was camaraderie that's what the PK says sa they spoke one language and they spoke unified words it doesn't just mean they had the same language that too but it also means people speak the same language they connect to each other unifying words we know how to talk in a way that we could coexist for the mutual benefit of every person was different this wasn't a combat against the Divine but they were actually says they were thugs they robbed from each other they were destroyed each other and in terms of robbery in terms of murder in terms of promiscuity there was absolutely no respect for the other so what did it do it created havoc in the very physical world there was no social contract there was no social cohesion you can't have a civil society you can't have a civil society yeah you can have a civil society if there's absolutely no respect for the other person if everything you have I can take there absolutely no uh no no no abilities to have societ so the punishment of the mble was almost it came out of itself you know what I mean the flaw just revealed what was happening the society destroyed itself nobody could live anymore nobody could live called you're stronger you win the society destroyed itself that that was they were means flooded means wiped out destroyed the difference of and not just two worlds is a world that functions the way our physical Material World functions is all about a world of of of transcendence of divinity of Oneness with the Divine you you bask in the radiance of the so now we can understand the difference the main destruction was means in relationships between people the whole basis of society crumbled and fell apart so that destroys the sad and the anaga that Hashem established to live right like the M also says in if there's no system one person swallows up another person alive you can't gets destroyed everybody gets destroyed so where did where did the penalty Express itself in because that was the blemish the blemish was something that destroys the very fabric of civilization of community of society so the consequence was mainly where in is the other way their main corruption was in other words something that's much more spiritual and Transcendent so therefore where is their consequence in it wasn't so bad they were scattered they didn't perish everybody says the says that's true according to all opinion unlike the mble withers in an argument now you'll ask a question can you really make such a clear differentiation [Music] even though you can't make a clear marker and say this is this world this is the next World why because sin because the world was created say soash says what's should have said B huh what about okay a separate discussion so if the world was created so then when T is not governing the world the world is is is is not fulfilling its purpose so something is affected in the world we're talking about even and as he says you follow the blueprint of right it's to the physicality of the world the other way also it's not just to have a nice Society it's also it's also right the sameah that says you have to fast and put on says you not let a lie some people make a difference you know right if a person follows all the they're called if they follow all the they're not soall F but that's just uh you know that's a fabricated construct that's also so could you say that's not that's true he says that's EMS but nonetheless in a revealed manifested way when there's no you right away see how it creates WS havoc in you don't need you don't have to do research you don't need statistics you don't have to look for generations and we understand right away is get immediately because the definition is one's relationship with so that's why in a manifested way this is how the was affected and this is how was affected again the punishment is always based on the [Music] blemish another reason why the main consequence is in this world not in the next World at least according to one opinion we all know the famous the end of and this is that when somebody hurts somebody else so all the CH in the world evener you apologize to and you say Al and you say it doesn't help like the Mish says evener doesn't a person doesn't take it away the person has to appease and say I'm sorry to his friend and ask forgiveness sometimes a person does doesn't forgive person doesn't forgive sometimes the person doesn't even ask okay but some person the person doesn't forgive and then there's the cha is not accepted even though you did you you apologized but the person didn't forgive so there's something that's still there's a barrier between them right there there's there's aam there there's a spiritual infection or or or or or something off something missing in this in this connection because pain was created I hurt somebody whether I stole money from them whether I lied about them whether I lied to them whether I hurt them whether I cheated them whether I name them whatever it is I hurt their children so I have to apologize it could be I try to do whatever I want and Heaven my TR was to the best of my ability I apologized I was remorseful I said I'm sorry to God I try to say I'm sorry to this person but nonetheless you need this person to be able to be on board why because it's something that's affecting the other person do just affecting Hashem it's affecting the other person so a person let's say steals from somebody there has to be you say I already did TR you did TR but he never got back what you stole from him that's not TR like the say you have to bring it them even in other words you have to bring it them even to the other side of the world you have to get it back to you have to do what it takes in order to restore the loss whether it's the physical loss or the emotional loss when you say I'm sorry there's something about I'm sorry that it doesn't take away what happened but when something like this happens you took away the Dignity of somebody you took away something of their Nish and and saying I'm sorry is a form of giving it back when it's genuine of course we're not talking about when it's not genuine is such a yeah for so here's another point this CL that we're saying the other person needs to get back what was lost is when you're talking about we talking about this world and our relationship in this world when you're talking about in terms of my spiritual relationship with Hashem if I did whatever I can that is very powerful I try to do whatever I can I try to appease the other person he may not be ready to forgive for whatever reason so in terms of the something is missing he did not forgive me or maybe I couldn't find him anymore whatever the situation is but I couldn't get him so he says in this world there's something missing but the spiritual relationship God knows that I did chuva in other words there's two separate things we don't always realize there's doing chva and there's the other person accepting my tra so he says don't confuse the two the fact that the other person didn't accept it doesn't mean you didn't do TR you did sometimes the other person can't accept it it's two separate things there's asking forgiveness and there's the other person forgiving me the other person forgiving me that depends on a lot of other stuff that depends on a lot of things obviously if I'm more genuine and I'm more remorseful right it will probably have a tremendous impact on the other person but not always and not necessarily it's two separate so in other words the way it affected the other person there's still something missing my own spiritual wholeness and relationship I really fixed it in myself if the person is genuine I reached a space where I'm not in that place anymore and that's very important to understand so that's what you see the that says they're going to get a because they did right in there was still a terrible punishment because in the was damaged and it wasn't fixed but there was a real TR that's another emphasis why the main was not so itself there's two elements there's what it does to me I'm in a place where I could hurt somebody else that I have to work on that's not about the other person's M that's about my work and then there's the other person being in a position where they can where they can forgive which is their work not so easy always to forgive if somebody was hurt very badly just to tell somebody you know snap your fingers forgive right sometimes a situation a person didn't just uh you know do something small sometimes this situation where a person D you know really affected somebody else's life so it really takes a lot of healing to be able to forgive you know the ability to be able to say that uh that uh you're not responsible for destroying my life because my life is not destroyed that that's that's a very very deep place and I can't force that on somebody else forgive me already it's been many years you know and I can't force somebody to forgive somebody else for what they did to them doesn't work that way and I can't forgive you for what you did to somebody else it's interesting there's no you have to said a person should always try to forgive because you can't you can't command it it has to be genuine I could could I could command somebody to forgive externally say forgiven but that's not real forgiveness means a shift connection I don't want to be connected exactly when we forgive we also forgive ourselves but it's it's it's a deep so the says a person should go into a place where they where they should work on themselves to try to forgive it's also understanding it's also understanding you know that I make mistakes and I want to be forgiven and other people make mistakes and they also want to be forgiven Beauty yeah the deepest form of forgiveness I think comes from the fact when a person could reach a space and realize that whatever happened to them whatever even though this person may have done it ultimately it was their journey in this world that came from Hashem in order to make them the person they're supposed to become this doesn't mean this person did not behave in a horrible horrible way and doesn't excuse them but forgiveness is basically me not I'm not a victim anymore like you did not control my life even though you even though you did even though you did control my life but I've reached a space where I so accepted who I am and I became the human being I became as a result of that that ultimately I could look back at you and say you were just a pitiful pitiful uh uh instrument in a much bigger story and actually feel bad that this is where your had to happen you know going everything we perceive good easy to by but this is but it's a very deep place it's not I can't snap my fingers cuz if you do it fake in a fake way sometimes it's even worse because because really I did not forgive I may not be in that space many levels there's many levels there's many levels that's true there's many levels but I'm talking in the high in in the very very deep level it's it's so I think I'm not sure about this but I think when a person can really really forgive themselves then then they're fine forgiving the other when I could really really forgive myself then it basically means I cut off that that connection the fact that I was feeding off you that what you did to me made me believe something about myself and when I can really really accept that and and reclaim my power then the other person is just like almost a NE case you understand what I'm saying forgiving the self is very deep cuz forg the self basically means that I'm not responsible in other words you you have not defined me what what what's the worst damage we do to a person it's not the external damage that that's obviously terribly damaged it's not even the damage to the body obviously that's horrible the damage to their soul right they take away from them the self the dignity the value in other words you start believing about you you start believing you are the person that the perpetrator made you believe that you are are so now there's no self anymore so not only when you say forgive there's no eye to forgive my eye has become him when I could really take back that eye and forgive myself now he's just some uh you know I think so I think so self test test the now it will become clear why receives the reward for 10 Generations who are who are creating negativity if this is the they deserved reward they behaved with friendship and affection and love towards each other so why didn't they get this reward they didn't get this reward even in this world why add up in there's a concept bring based on different and so forth that sometimes a person learns so they actually they're learning they're doing a mitzah but the the agenda and the ego and the intentions are often very very toxic so what happens is there's like a ciper that surrounds the light and doesn't let the light come out in other words inside there's something something very genuine and very good but it's surrounded with so much so much toxicity so this is what it means that before the person does it gives into even their says that sometimes a Jew learns to and it becomes for it becomes poison and the to itself it's not that the to is poison but for this person the to become rather than rather than having medic uh uh which is a medicine that gives life it could be the opposite so it's not that us shouldn't learn and do mitz but say that what comes out ofz comes out the flow and the energy and the light but it's engulfed it's it's it's it's pested it's encompassed by sometimes a very very dense dense shell and Clipper that it still has to come out from so he's using this example here too they Reser they deserved reward why because 10 generations of tremendous friendship that they had but they themselves couldn't get this even why because all the friendship was surrounded with a Clipper with a shell that was like blocking it because of their combat their dedication to combat the Divine so therefore there was such uh negativity there that blocked and eclipsed all the goodness that came out from their friendship what would have happened had they done so now the came it's just not just he's T it to fix he got the for everybody what does that mean what he snatched everybody's reward so he says something was he freed up the clip of the 10 Generations he exposed their light he brought out that there was a lot of goodness in them that's what it mean mean he received the reward he hopped it away from everybody like he pick pocket everybody's was the one who revealed that there is a he what was you know they say two types of people somebody once said and the k b said in every bad there's a good and the said and every good is a bad what was what was even the people of he tried to fight for he tried to protect know was let me identify the good and through positive reinforcement building and building and building and building and building until it'll take over a person's life there's two ways of dealing with a person I could go in and identify right away this is the toxicity the evil the negativity the darkness and focus on that right he was he was a man of love what's a man of not that he was naive but he saw he accentuated he identified you know like a laser light he identified the goodness and that's what he was busy inflating and inflating and fting yeah not because he didn't know ra fought also when he had to fight he for but that was his was he wasn't everything is Rosy and perfect but was to identify where can I find the there a beautiful ver from the it says the Sun never saw the blemish of the Moon meaning you know half the moon half the moon is light because it reflects the sun half of it is dark it's like a ball right and uh different parts of the month we see the moon in different shapes based on its position Vis the Sun and Vis the Earth so uh he says like this never did it happen that the sun should see the blemished moon whenever the sun is looking at the Moon the Moon is always bright why you understand why yeah that's why in the times of the month that the Moon is like a crescent like a like a half a bagel right if that half a bagel is facing the sun you know that the person the gor says if the adus came and they said it's facing the you know they're Liars it can't be that way because if it's facing the sun it has to be light cuz the sun is giving it light so when it's a crescent it's always the other way you understand the dark side is facing the Earth not the Sun so it's it's a p to fact in astronomy it's not so it's a p to fact but said it's a deep V is Mash L is maaba like we learned last week right the Sun and the Moon Mas MAA a real Masia never sees the blemish of the maab you know why cuz if I'm looking at you I give you light if you're a Mas so when you're looking at the moon where do you see the blemish it's because you don't have the light if you if you would be a sun in my world there's no blemished moon somebody else may see a blemished moon not me that's that's what a mashpia is the moment mashpia goes in he's so dark he's so dark he's so dark you're not a Masia now you're an analyst maybe a traumatized analyst that depends huh psychiatrist this whatever it is you're not a k if you would be the Sun the Moon that you're looking at is bright I you and I know it's not theama says not when I'm here when I'm here it's very bright look at the Moon what's what's the V it's a very very powerful V in life right for this you have to be a son first of all you have to have a lot of light and you have to be able to be generous with your light like the sun you have to have confidence in your light and you have to know that the moon is going to reflect the light if you shine it for this you have to be a you have to be a that was when you looked at the the 10 Generations they were they were they were they were very negative they were suddenly redefined them said look how much goodness there is in them look how much love look how much affection look how much friendship he brought it out from the clip it was it was covered there was eclipsed because there was a lot of other stuff there was a lot of other stuff you know some people's kindness can be dressed up in a lot of shells and a lot of husks and because of their because of their combat with the Divine so this like covered up it was like a darkness that uh encompassed all the light and extracted it like he says when all the that was in the Clipper could come out and it can it can soar sometimes you have very very deep adal kite but it's it's you have sensitivity of adite but it's it's covered it's buried in layers and layers and layers and layers so you don't see it knew how to see it like it says by a mayor right he knew how to find the inside theor says about with Alish he could learn from him because he knew how to take out the inside and throw away the Clippers so can identify that in every situation that was his and that's why he was praying even for why is he praying for God says they're evil no because that's so it's different than it doesn't say not because the generations were perfect then don't because they really deserve the but all of their goodness was hidden and camouflaged and darkened because of their because of their atheism because of their desire to come hem so there was something about their goodness that was became very it looked it it became ratten or became at least covered with so many Clippers it took an H yes so it took to be able to crack open that and to identify how much goodness these people had in their lives despite all their mistakes and sins he brought it out he received it he look at the sky they all have it's an approach thatu taught and cultivated and and and lived by some people have aush to always find the darkness and some people have aush to always find the light it's a it's a yeah right I could look at you and say wow look at the potential that's here and let me work on it somebody looks at your body right the body has parts that need a lot of help but there's another part that's strong let me work on it let me build that up you build that up and automatically the circulation flows everywhere and other parts become strong yeah now we understand why it doesn't say the end ofed now we understand two reasons the first thing is they destroyed each other they didn't have that friendship they didn't have that they didn't have that it was they were busy destroying each other so when they destroyed everybody's lives and their own Liv so there was no on that level the didn't have that the had a tremendous tremendous tremendous their behavior was very valuable in this world BAS and then there's something deeper about himself didn't have aru's approach didn't work with the world around him he didn't even DAV for the people of his generation says in that the is called the Waters of this week calls it why is it the Waters of it's not his Waters so they say that he's not completely absolved from them why because he didn't do anything like unlike M who prayed for his generation didn't pray for his generation nobody doesn't say he aad he was aad he was a he was a good man he was a gal man we owe him his survival no what he wants to start up with we love as they sing was a big was a bigad yeah so even God sings that song it's not a but he didn't have that vision of AR ainu that he can change the world he can fix the world and he didn't DAV for them so he wasn't the previous so even if they would have deserved didn't manage to extract it because just let them be who they are was to repair all the 10 Generations in other words his very presence redefined retroactively the goodness of all those Generations it it it was accentuated it came out he was M them he actually refined them even though he lived at the end of it but his approach and his emotional approach actually healed something in them it brought out their goodness from Clipper so there was tremendous and that's what he brought out he brought out the scar of everybody there was goodness hidden yeah did the same thing he prayed for their goodness it was only Kamas he want them all die so he didn't bother to save them to find a sometimes you know need to make sure that that was the biggest goodness for the world so in a way he did more the number I hear you would there was a general that he was the General in the first Gulf War his name was Nor Norman Schwarz I think General Schwarz so they once asked him if we should forgive terrorists so he said it's not our job it's God's job our job is to arrange the meaning right so that's what is saying that sometimes you have to arrange the meeting and that's the best thing EMS absolutely yes so you have to have to obviously have to know say somebody's coming to kill you make sure you kill him first terrorist about right that's what I'm saying if you could if you could of course of course wor thing to do but uh when you're dealing with uh somebody who doesn't want to make peace they want to destroy you and they prove it they prove it very dramatically so then making peace is really an act of war against innocent people they're making peace in order to take a break in the war that's it certain group that believes that right so so now because because they still they need a lot of couldn't fix but he brought out the from this there's a very powerful lesson to us we are now in the generation it's called means the heel a is the heel on the bottom of the foot of Mia meaning the last before because like you can hear the heel the footsteps of M and also the generations is like a body so it starts off with the head and it goes down all the way down till the till the sole of the foot that's like the end of the generations from the like history is like a body there Generations that are defined as a head as a heart as arms and legs then this is the last generation before before the G this means all the the generations till now were all a preparation for the Gul for the coming of mhia then the purpose of the whole Bri is going to be fulfilled Mia come what's is the realization and the Fulfillment of the purpose of the whole creation so if this generation he says our generation is the of the it means that in the of this generation is is dependent all the all the avoid of the previous generations cuz cuz it's like the if you're preparing you start building a building yeah but you don't finish it and I'm the one who's supposed to finish it so what I do or I don't do affects all of the previous generations that were building it because they were all preparing for this moment of the G which is going to materialize and complete the purpose of creation of all the generations so he says so of this Jo is dependent all the previous generations also it's not where an isolated generation but now listen to [Music] this so he says here we have to un appreciate what looked at all these Generations before he could have said let me just do my thing that's not that's why because he found all the goodness that was there so he brought out the so he says that's true the 10 Generations before he says now let's talk about our generation Our Generation is very similar to that that it's so it's not just responsible to itself it's responsible to all the previous generations because it's all leading up to this they're all dependent on this generation so you could look at two ways without the of you could look at it in one way but the what's is that you bring out all the healing and all the goodness of all the previous generations that was the he says practically it means that you're Mak of all Jews with and you inspire and you you arouse in everybody their and you reveal the holy Sparks that everyone has even if it's concealed just likeo he said there's Sparks there that are concealed because everyone has concealed Sparks from where from their parents from their grandparents from their great great grandparents all the way back to the earliest generations and you bring out in itus even if they're concealed from all these generations and from this generation so then it's Ma so then you bring it all to completion you bring it all to because he brings all the Sparks back to their purpose so all the generations are healed and repaired and fixed even if the nitas were blocked and concealed in those Generations or in this generation and what's the so what does this mean mean what does this mean obviously it's manifested in different ways but one of the things it's manifested in is if our generation has to complete it that means we're not only completing our generation we're completing all the previous generations so anything that wasn't fixed in a previous generation we have to fix it cuz I'm I'm I'm finishing it so if I'm finishing it right if there's something that remains undal with in previous generations I have to fix it so now you understand what's happening in our so many things are coming out in Crazy speed and everybody wants to know from where from what from when what happened to our brains and the answer is it's not just your brain it's bringing out it's things coming out unresolved unresolved stuff from all the doas are coming out now transgeneration huh transgeneration epigenetics epigenetics was revealed in our time that the genes carry all of history genes are not just physiological they carry everything they carry stories and they carry experience they carry emotions they carry perspectives they carry everything so in the genes of the generation you have everybody's jeans coming out good luck so what what what's being dealt with is not just my own story that yeah but my own story is linked to hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and thousands and millions and billions and trillions of stories over hundreds of generations and it's coming out cuz we have we're the ones to complete it so now there's two ways of going about it anyway that's what said you know what yeah the had lots and lots of stuff that they had to fix that's true but I'm going to find and I'm going to bring out all the goodness that was there he out all the nas so he didn't heal himself only or his T generation he healed all the generations retroactively he healed all the generations so this means so the the idea here is that sometimes when I work on my own things and I find in itus the goodness and the healing and I bring it out I'm not just doing it for myself I'm not just doing it for my children that's for sure I'm also healing gener Generations Generations Generations because everybody had everybody has but they're sometimes embedded and concealed and blocked and a lot of stuff and when you bring it out in yourself you bring it out in them everyone comes to Aus it's a whole different inion so our generation heals all of the previous generations there's a challenge in that because it means you're dealing with a lot of stuff intergenerational even if it comes out in a very practical way in stories that happen to you when your life but that itself was impacted by something that happened earlier that happened earlier that happened earlier that happened earlier and when I can uh not continue that cycle but put a stop to this I could just continue it you know it just continues for the next but today that can't be anymore because it's the end close to the end so when I put a stop and I change it I shift a trajectory so everything from previous dius is also shifted so the cycle doesn't just continue further and further further and further but rather there's a tremendous shift shift in me so it shifts the entire past huh and it all becomes aine that's the sure thank explain why Mar one ofas the which is the m that comes from the horse's neck sweat um which they use perfumes and expensive to put in to eat and it's kosher kosher now how could thing be kosher so it's similar to how a be produces honey yeah and and basically the mo it's it's not from the rather it's transformed yeah yeah theum discusses I think he brings in the footnote right sof s it looks like it yeah it says in that even when it says yeah sometimes the N goes through a lot a lot a lot a lot until finally it has its tick but it's much more complicated yeah yeah I think that's what it means was said that he could really understand people and he can identify the nitot that may be hidden in a lot a lot of garbage yeah you see see it so often in people's own lives in their own traumas that really does an innocence there that's trapped like in a jail their heart is in jail it's trapped it's a nit it's divine it's amazing but it's trapped it's incarcerated it's it's it's it's it's tied down by ropes it's uh it's confined it's concealed they may themselves not know it and their whole life they're navigating life in a very very narrow and limited way sometimes they're like a shell of themselves that's we have so that's you need was able to identify and zoom in doesn't mean he was a only he was a nice person he was a nice person but that's not the was his whole approach was to believe in that goodness to identify it and to help people bring it out in themselves and when they brought it out in themselves they brought it out also in the previous generations because it revealed all they gave they EMP we Empower previous generations to find their Sparks and we almost heal it so it's it's a very profound idea what does it mean we heal other we heal previous generations it means sometimes in previous generation they didn't have the ability to be able to uh identify they were working on another part of or or in the midst of such Darkness look look you see look how the Jewish people are affected what happens yeah time of the Holocaust right for five six years this was happening every single day three times to day this amount of Jews and a generation had to survive it Jews so how did it affect them can give us a little perspective right how it affected them in terms of fear in terms of panic in terms of demoralization in terms of uh trying to survive in terms of trauma it gives us a certain sensitivity to what the Jewish people went through over years of Galos just a sensitivity a respect right that theu said yeah the went through the the trauma of durble you know they that's what they the stories they grew up with so it doesn't mean everything is perfect but it means there was an empathy to be able to find the nits and when I could find the nitot inside of me and bring it out retroactively it affects all the previous generations it heals everybody so this generation is going to heal not just our generation it's going to heal all the generations even language Now language coming out yeah to be able to communicate to be able to communicate yeah the problem was that their communication was divorced from spiritual communication like he says they were they decided they're going to get rid of God so their communication had a superficiality to it it was like let's make a society that's going to work well for us but it was divorced from deeper commun communication from spiritual communication they couldn't connect on that level that's why it was superficial it was good in didn't work in alaba in alaba you have to be able to connect spiritually the souls have to connect you understand it's not just you're going to invest in my company I'll invest in your company we'll both make money and that's it which is nice it's nice in so that was lacking so brought out that nit and he healed thatment what the pun in they were just scattered but they surv they all survived they all survived they didn't die they perished sced not language the language was compromised say all the different languages yeah langu yeah yeah that's a good question that's asked in what happened to all his the writes and Inu that influenced most of humanity he says huh imagine yeah most of humanity whatever the amount of people that were living who influence most human beings that lived on the planet imagine his influence him and S they changed not just half of civilization more than half of civilization they changed them the the question is what happened to all of them yeah huh that's interesting yeah this afternoon we're having a virtual
