friend of mine told me the story that he used to walk at at Mendel foot of us home at nights in Farah bad when the Mendel was older and needed company and it was a rainy night and a mental had no coat and he offered that Mendel his his coat and Amanda said no you have only one coat do you wear it out walk he says you know I have an identical code to have another coat the same coat he ran into his dorm room and brought that another model the same rain and shine coat and he gave it to that Mendel and a man who put her under there walking so that Mendel says to him how do you have two identical raincoats he said what we live in California where doesn't rain much so my mother gave me her coat because it's you know gender you know the same coat me one by man and a woman he says that men will rip that coat off his body like it was a cancer Lisa wash a man is not lightweight women's clothing and he spent a considerable amount of time trying to convince it at Mendel that he doesn't understand this is not the woman's or a man that's anybody could wear it and it was like talking to the wall he says it was the first time there Mendel's always this happy cheery fellow he saw a hardness in him lettuce a sham simple but incredibly strong and that's what we're trying to describe here that the most elemental level of connection to God is the most powerful and now let's read inside line 48 vahini need about lil gum cane bikinis ooh we see vividly the same model described above shash paha audit as it exists in the earth in the human experience that there is mileage aseda there is a great advantage in what the earth is and what the earth represents boobafina submittal it's the quality of bittle bittle is a word that has no adequate English translation so I'm going to stick with the Hebrew if you don't know what it means check your local combat dictionary brittle means the capacity for not prioritizing oneself completely they translated that self nullification or self annulment or whatever else the only good translation of a bittle is biddle she s bow which it has sure he made throws it is meant to be trampled old tacos capistrano kale underneath the feet of all people trample the earth now of course you know people trample the earth they don't exactly say excuse me because the earth is earth now if we appreciate that everything was created by God and everything is God what right do we have to trample on the earth as it says mushy is going to come and the earth is going to shout at us who are you to step on me unless when you're walking over me you're thinking words of tater so the metaphysics of this is the ability to trample the Earth's represents the idea that the earth represents in Indian in philosophy the most basic level of humility
