unprecedent Aus doesn't Fade
Away
says as well as we aware
as which leads us up for tonight's
gatria of 177
is what is loved by the most
is
say what he say what he say 100 out of
100 100 out of
100 wow okay we're g to first start off
with our
host BF coach he's gonna open it up and
explain us what we're trying to talk
about tonight and why we
here welcome everyone to another let's
get real with Coach here we are number
177 talking
about with a lot
of and it's a big to have you on
again we're going to be discussing a
very interesting topic talking
about before
were they had to
have that's the only way they could
be is if they had but we know that it
wasn't only that they had the akos it
was also they were all
healed
physically and emotionally
spiritually I think that helps to get
the AK if a person himself is broken if
a person himself is missing it's hard to
connect to
others so for to get the to and to have
the they first had to be
healed on on all levels and we know um
there's the famous bov that says if you
see
something if you see something from um
something happening to others something
that you don't like doesn't work for you
it's hard for you to connect to it it's
something that you need to look inside
see what comes up for
yourself
and why did Hashem show it to you and
that takes us to that inner work that
inner world that many of us here you
know coming every Sunday night and
listening to these different
ideas hopefully we realize that a lot of
the work is to close our
eyes and see go
inside and understand what's bothering
me what's coming up what are my thoughts
how do I take it what could I
do so before before they came to the
of
the they had to be okay with
themselves and uh K Isel now many years
in
Galos after so many years we're we're
broken we're so far from where we need
to be and there's so much sorus going
on and many times it's hard it's hard to
connect because of the Brokenness that
every individual is you know and then to
connect to
others but when we go through AAR when
when when when they push us to the wall
the yish guide comes
out and the truth comes out and then
unfortunately the the the enemy shows it
to us you know by by screaming Jew you
know some people try to hide it but
eventually yes I am Jewish and I'm proud
to be a Jew and then we get together and
we try to do whatever we can to hold us
to you know hold on
tight so here we are after October
7th there was a big change there's
nothing to talk about and it's really
really unbelievable to see what happened
and many people say this it's easier to
see it's easier to see it they feel it
they live it how every type they're all
together and and on one
Mission but I think you you could see it
also around the world you see you know
yes you do see a lot of negativity and
hate but when the Jews come together
like every type the Jews all Jewish and
they come out and they support which is
amazing it brings it
out and RAB I believe you were you know
the past few week traveling the world
doing some K in a professional way with
all of the you know the places that you
go meet all different types of Jews or
non-jews and making
KES talking to everybody you know if you
can sit down and talk hopefully you can
you know share and reasonable in a
reasonable way so that people understand
no one is we're not here to kill
people and uh it's it's hard you know
the youngsters over there they're all
protesting how could Israel do this but
what do they
understand so I'm sure you've done a lot
of K and here you are thank you so much
for coming and being part of Coach

again the floor is
yours first a huge to what you both do
it's it's unbelievable this itself is
what brings this Unity to
CL now I'm gonna take the Tony Robin's
hat partially off tonight and put a
little bit of head on I I start
99.9999 at
infm of my percent of my sharum and
lectures and presentations with the
story I'm G to make an exception this
one
time because I think the greatest story
in recent history is a story that we're
all
experiencing right now the past past
four or five months has been a
combination of the most tragic and the
most inspiring in about every
way and
I've you know I spent my life teaching
all parts of krong the world is a whole
as well but really all parts of
K and what we've been experiencing we've
been
witnessing ever since the greatest
tragedy in race and Jewish history is
the greatest kind of bluring of
boundaries of classic hhos and World
Views ideology
political perspectives Etc within
clell and it's just one question that
everyone's basically had from the
beginning is how do I put everything
else on hold and how do I help the
Jewish
people and you know the I the most
inspiring for a lot of people is the
religious and non-religious where a lot
of a lot of
the the non-religious Jews kind of felt
connected but I I'll tell you a much
deeper layer a much deeper layer I've
spent
probably the past
decade teaching all different areas of
kille whether it's the right-wing
Community the Ki Community the more
Hamish open-minded rightwing
Community then you have the Yu oou type
of community where I have my Wu
background got from Wu got a bunch of
degrees from Wu I speak in the elite
intellectual world with my Harvard
University of Chicago background I speak
in kir of world all the time I do a lot
of work in the Jewish business world
political commentary
world what we've experienced since
October 7th is something I've never seen
in my life and it's something that I
think a lot of people never saw which
is an I would say reflection of a much
deeper topic and a much deeper problem
that lies at the very heart and core of
what it means to be alive but also for
everyone listening right now what it
means to be a Je
and what you realize from this is that
the problem is reflected because of the
partial solution that we've been
experiencing because for the past four
or five months everyone's felt United
we've had a common enemy the enemy is
external everyone's been on the same
team everyone's come together and it's
basically the world against the Jewish
people it's inspiring it's
powerful what's happened for the past 50
100 a thousand years is basically
moments of inspiration right a day an
hour a week where something like this
happens and then you revert back to
normal right so the classic formula of
the the the psyche of a human being is
you have your normal identity you have
your family your community your ideology
your world view your way of life how you
live your life what you're doing could
be your profession could be your
metaphysical outlook on life it could
uh the relationships in the Reb you have
you went to the Seminary you went to
Etc and then there's a terrorist attack
then there's a a something you know
whether it's meon whether it's a a boss
bombing whether something happens and
all of a sudden clol wakes up right it's
kind of like momentary Awakening from
our hypnosis of the normal state of
existence and there's this uncons ious
unable sense ofr is one needs me K needs
us just put everything on hold for a
minute everyone doin everyone says to
hel him everyone gets the not the notice
of what's going on and there's this like
inspiring sensation of like something's
happening something's different
something kind of like the the norm has
been
ruptured but then
whether it's an hour 24 hours or
week
it becomes a memory as in we remember
when there was a moment of
this and I would say that for those
who've had their pulse their finger on
the pulse for the past four or five
months the first week was the most
insane thing you've experienced if you
were kind of aware of everything going
on social media WhatsApp groups whether
you involved whether you're hearing
about it whether you were going to
things in your sh in your community what
whatever was you felt that this time was
different and the reason why it was
different is because unlike every other
time in recent history the tragedy
didn't let up right so normally there's
a momentary tragedy everyone wakes up
the tragedy is gone the damage has been
done and we kind of feel the damage for
a day a week maybe somewhat for a month
when it comes to what just happened it
got worse and worse and worse the got
more intense more intense more intense
we needed more help from everyone not
less things were getting more
exponentially potent and impactful and
tragic and uncertain and crazy and
people were doing more heroic things all
of Cl was coming together on the
Battlefront in Artis everyone's trying
to fund it financially everyone's doing
everyone's learning to H him everyone's
trying to make a see him everyone's
taking on extra learning everyone's
doing everyone's just questioning
whether Mia's here is coming happened
already everything's crazy and you kind
of wait for things to get back to normal
and they don't and now the new normal is
this abnormal which is strange because
it's this kind of constant uncertainty
but for the
99% this has become normal enough that
you can numb out the craziness of the
initial stage and now it's become the
new abnormal normal and for people had
their finger on the post from the
beginning you can kind of feel the
intensity
of
the slowly simmer slowly retract and
slowly go back to normal boundaries even
though it's not the same as it was
before October
7th it just gets you
wondering about the the same fundamental
questions which is basically why has Aus
always been a struggle with
incl and it's very easy to say like
extreme like I believe in Torah they
don't believe in Torah religious versus
non- religious that's not true right
it's every strand of Judaism there are
people who focus more on there are
people who focus more on most
self-development there are people who
focus more on learning gamar in depth
there are people who focus more on
philosophy and cabalistic type of
worldviews and then there are people who
focus more on the importance of then
there are people who focus on their
Strand ofas and their strand of this and
their strand of this and there's a
million different variations of krael
and if you have your Abby and your
community and you're kahila and you're
this and you're that there's this kind
of self-identified hagara and Boundary
that creates a fundamental level of
disunity
where the question becomes like what is
the ideal like what would the ideal
client ra look like like how is how how
can one argue this is the ideal and then
the more fundamental question is what is
the idea and how do we get this
way and then the question is always why
why what is the mechanics of what always
happens as in if you take a 100
tragedies that K's experienced in the
past couple decades it's always the same
formula and this is just a hyperexpanded
more potent version of the same formula
so it's not that this is so
fundamentally different as much as this
is on a different skill of quality and
quantity and it's kind of just scaled to
the greatest degree that we've
experienced in recent
history so what I want to open up and
this
is this is a vulnerable conversation
because this is you know coach we're
going to get real um but this is not an
easy conversation because this is this
gets at the very Cornerstone of how
people build their lives how people
build their identities how if you want
to go into aanus this is how you get a
job if you want to lead a community this
is how it works like this is how kly is
structured
and you want to ask a lot of questions
number number one is how do we improve
number two is how to get this way number
three is what is the
ideal is it just one blob of Cl kol it's
never really been that way so why not
and is there a deeper reason behind
that and I want to frame this you know
not getting back to I don't I usually
introduce with a story we'll have a
story
now so I want to show one of my favorite
stories a story of a person who had a
dream of a giant treasure that was
buried somewhere in
France so he thought nothing of it went
through his day went back to sleep and
night he had the same
dream and he's getting a little
suspicious never had the same dream
twice in a row and then he has the dream
a third time so he says you know what
I'm GNA go and I'm gonna book a ticket
I'm gonna figure out what's going on so
in his dream he was always under the
same drawbridge finds out where the
bridge is flies out across the world
goes to France goes to the drawbridge
starts digging and the guard of the draw
Bridge comes and says excuse me what are
you doing you're trespassing you're
damaging public property you know I'm
going to have to arrest you if you don't
stop and he figured you know I came all
the way here I might as well just be
vulnerable and open and he says you know
what I'll tell you the truth the truth
is I've had a dream for the past couple
nights that there's a treasure buried
underneath this bridge and I just came
here to try to figure out if it's
actually buried here so the guard starts
laughing and he
says if I listen to every single dream
I've had you know what for the past
three nights I've had dream then New
Jersey on
2793 West Chase Avenue there's a giant
treasure buried in the backyard you know
I I don't go flying across the world to
pursue every single dream I have so this
guy's thinking to himself wait a
second that's my
address gets the first flight back flies
back to his house goes to his backyard
starts
digging find the
treasure and it's it's a famous story
that told in a hundred different ways
but the idea is that very
often what you spend your whole life
looking
for is actually what you already had
when you set off to find that what
you're looking
for and very often the journey in life
is not so much going out there but going
deep within there's a famous idea that
the first Russian astronaut when he came
back down people ask him did you did you
find God as if God was some gray bearded
man in the sky that was waiting for us
to come here and you started laughing
said no of course I didn't find God
because a lot of people think that you
know the truth is out there that God is
out there somewhere in the sky when you
know the deeper
idea is that the deeper you go into
yourself the deeper you go inside of
yourself into the world of ideas and
then deeper beyond the world of
ideas that's where you start finding
Hashem that's where you start finding
the truth that's not a thing out there
so much as the source of things and the
access point that you have to that is
going deeper within yourself that's why
the essence of wisdom is self awareness
it's going deeper inside
yourself and that's really the essence
of life is that we're all earners we're
all searching and we're not searching
for something out there we're searching
for something deeper within ourselves
when it comes toas it's the same thing
you know there's two types of AAS
there's akas where people don't fight so
it's the absence of
conflict and then there's the of of
Oneness Oneness not where there's two
parts that are connected but where
there's real Synergy where there's real
synthesis where you get to the
root that is beyond the sum of its
parts and the question is what is this
this deep what is this deep inspiring
kind of hej inang that seems so
inaccessible and why do it seem so
difficult as in
why why is it fleeing why do we always
tap into it for a moment during these
tragedies but we never maintain it so I
want to do it I want to frame this
discussion because this is not this is
the year to answer that question because
that's I wouldn't say the unanswerable
question as much as it takes a lifetime
to delve into the world of Truth to try
to really take it seriously
because what I love about everyone who's
here right now and in these types of
conversations that there's different
types of sheer there's shearim where you
go to the
shear with the answer that you already
have looking for the speaker to
reinforce what you already think and
then there's the people who go in with a
real open mind trying to learn trying to
think is and if you got a better
Paradigm or idea would you replace one
you currently have if the truth required
you to reshape your life around it would
you reshape your life around the truth
or would you
only condense and finze the truth to fit
into the life you already have because
that's why I love you know I'm someone
who's you call F from birth but the
beauty of people who are balich
Chua who are who are seeking to return
so to speak is they don't pretend like
they have the answers they know that
they don't know so they seek to learn
and grow whereas people who think they
have the answers there's no greater
disservice you can do to yourself
because then you can't grow you can't
learn
so what I'm about to open up is probably
something that would take thousands and
thousands of
Sheeran but I would say that this is a
good introduction into the
story of the greatest story of all time
and that's the story of the Jewish
people
and to frame that I want to basically
frame the essence of a great
inspirational story a great
inspirational story is one that we all
love right person starts from the
bottom the underdog it's hard no one
really gives them a chance but they
start to rise and grow and they have a
dream they have a vision they have a
goal and as they start to pursue their
goal whether it's to achieve their
purpose in life to get married
to arrive at the ultimate truth to
connect to Hashem to change the world
wherever the journey whatever the story
is there's always the same step that
follows that first stage of inspiration
which is everything seems to fall apart
right you face a challenge you face a
struggle things get difficult and
somehow you find a way to persever and
you find someone to help you and Mentor
you and you start learning and you start
growing you start achieving you start
building yourself you start over
overcoming struggles and you realize the
struggles are building you not breaking
you apart and every time you ripped or
get ripped apart you put yourself back
together even stronger than before and
you're almost there and you you see
yourself getting closer and the main
character of the story is so close and
you can literally see it and all of a
sudden everything falls
apart everything you lose
everything and you wonder what was the
purpose of even starting in the first
place
it's all worthless it's all pointless
and there's no there's no point of even
getting back
up because there's nothing to build upon
everything's
lost but somehow you find that willpower
that amuna that Faith you find the
ability to go deeper within yourself and
you muster up the courage and the and
you
somehow are able to start getting back
going and you realize that everything
seemed to Fallen apart but it was really
just waiting for you to make that last
decision to get back up and somehow
you're able to win save the day arrive
at the destination etc
etc now that is the Jewish story and
what I want to do now is I want to frame
the story of aus with the story of the
Jewish story and I want to frame it
there's a million different starting
points that you can go by um you can
start with Adam Harish you can start
with Noah
but we take a sh to explain why we
should start with Abraham but we're
going to start with
abrah Abraham's Journey
begins in the middle right we hear
Abraham's Journey starting
with is actually according to the middle
of Abraham's
Journey the whole backdrop the whole
Foundation the whole kind of background
story Prelude is a whole different story
which is not Abraham's Journey that we
read in the
Torah but it's abah's Journey what we'd
call the spiritual journey of trying to
find out the
truth say that saw a beer AB saw a
building that was on
fire and he talk about him smashing the
idols of his father's house all these
different stories but essentially the
background story of Abraham's story is
not the tenis Yos that we see Abraham
overcoming the story that we don't hear
about is Abraham's story towards the
infinite meaning that when you wake up
in your life
15 16 17 18 years
old you start to get a heightened sense
of intellect you start to get heightened
sense of selfawareness and abstractness
you start to realize that you're
self-aware and that you're aware of your
own existence you have no idea why
you're here you have no idea why you
exist you have no idea what the truth is
and Abraham's journey is basically a
journey of someone who says what in the
world is going on in the world why am I
here what's my purpose what is truth
what's the nature of reality and Aram
goes from a finite world and a finite
existence as the rabam explains he
uprooted every single attempted
Foundation of Truth and went deeper and
deeper to the ultimate root until he
said that this finite limited corporeal
World stems from an infinite all
perfect foundational root and he went to
the ultimate source of existence and the
midra says that once he realized that
the world didn't essentially have its
own independent existence but it
actually had a Creator that's when
Hashem appeared to abam and basically
said so this the whole stage of the
Torah version of abam is stage
two the first stage is the journey from
the finite to the infinite for someone
who is so trapped in this limited world
who says I don't care about being social
aced I about the
truth I about answering the fundal
question of where am I why am I who am I
what's the nature of existence what is
going on and I'm going to give up
everything to answer those
questions and he realized upon taking
that philosophical Journey that
everything finite comes from the
infinite everything limited comes from
the Limitless everything that will die
and Fade Away comes from something
Immortal and ever existent and he rooted
himself back to the ultimate root of
existence but here's where it comes
fascinating Abraham's
challenge in terms of the Torah version
of
Abraham was Hashem basically saying can
you reverse the process it's easy to be
a Buddhist it's easy to say that the
ultimate truth is in the Capal the truth
is on the hierarchy of truths is that
the infinite is more true than the
finite the spiritual is more true than
the physical but can you
reinus the infinite within the finite
can you live a Transcendent life in this
physical world that's the essence as the
mar explains of Mitzvah which is s to
connect can you live an infinitely
meaningful life in a physical world or
can you only live a fragment of Life by
saying I have to choose one over the
other because if you have to choose one
over the other you're going to choose
the infinite you're going to choose the
spiritual unless you're going to be an
atheist by saying I'm going to choose a
physical over the spiritual and reject
the spiritual I'm going to choose the
limited over the Limitless and reject
the Limitless I'm going to enjoy my
finite existence and I'm going to remove
the potentiality of something Limitless
by either justifying it to myself that
doesn't exist or saying I prefer the
limited the
physical the finite existence I have so
Abraham's real journey journey and the
tenos were all about Abraham going from
Ab to Abraham which is going from
someone who understands the truth to
someone who can live out the truth in
this world that's why every single thing
that Abraham does is expressing the
infinite into a finite World which is
the mitah Brasa taking the most physical
organ in the human being the most
potentially animalistic and uplifting to
something transcendently
spiritual it's why Abraham's mitzvah
when it comes to um uh when it came to
host and guests was to help them not do
Mitzvah but specifically to say braas
because as the Mah explains say AB is
recognizing that everything
physical that is giving you sustenance
is coming from a spiritual Source it's
recognizing that it comes from hasem so
Abraham's Journey was essentially
becoming abam and that's why when Hashem
tells him to become the nation of the
Jewish people abam says wait a second I
can't
because if you remember how rash
explains it Abraham told
Hashem you're telling me that I'm going
to become the father of the Jewish
people but I see within the DNA of
reality within the
mazos that I'm not going to have any
children explains as rash explains he
took him outside the system of Nature
and said
the person who lives an infinite life
outside this world is not going to have
children but your job is to become
Abraham your job is to become someone
who can bring that truth into this
world and this is where it becomes
fascinating because Abraham's journey is
doing the impossible which is becoming a
person capable of doing the impossible
which is someone
who achieved the heightened level of
transcendent truth to come back down to
this world and that's the spiritual
concept of laughter without getting into
the the depth of that why y's name is
laughter because he's an impossibility
right you laugh when a sentence doesn't
end the way you elant right you laugh
when things are unexpected things go in
an unexpected Direction so AB became
Abraham by doing that he was able to
bring in the impossible into reality he
brought Y into existence and then we get
the climax of Abraham and y's
Journey which is the a
in the
AA there's really two parts of the AA
one part is for Abraham the other part
is for for Abraham Hashem tells
Abraham something fascinating before the
a journey which is right it's the
second why is it the
second because for Abraham this was the
most fascinating and fundamental
challenge one could ever
imagine Abraham's Journey was to take
the truth that he had
basically G on a journey of connecting
to at the deepest possible level and now
came back and through challenge after
challenge was able to embody that and
transform himself is someone who can
live a life ifs in this
world and Hashem then tells him as in
everything you just did on your journey
you have one final
challenge are you willing to give it all
up
meaning what meaning if Abraham carries
through with the a what happens you lose
is which means you lose your continuity
you lose your future you lose the
ability to continue the legacy of
everything you've built on a fundamental
level as in your child your progeny your
continuation will cease to exist and
when you die you will cease to exist
number two everything you
embodied will also see ceas to exist as
in the amass a life of synthesis of
living life of Truth in this world if
you kill your son you will fundamentally
oppose everything you've developed your
entire life as an embodying me of living
out the truth of living out of living
out someone who expresses truth
through how they express themselves
physically
and again we can give 25 sh on the but
the fundamental challenge was this if
willing to give it
up you can keep
it right because Abraham was willing to
give it up he was willing to do the
AA that was the only challenge are you
willing to do it within the that's why
retroactively say that within the words
that Hashem told Abraham was never an
actual requirement to fulfill the AA and
that was how Hashem never told him do
the don't do the a the entire point was
to see if was willing to give up what he
thought was the truth whatever Hashem
said was the truth because here's the
real
distinction if AB is not willing to do
the AA it means that he would rather
hold on to the truth that he had
obtained than to live out the truth has
told him to express which really means
that Aon would be serving himself but if
you're willing to give up your entire
life's work and everything you've
devoted yourself to for the sake of the
truth it shows that you're not doing
this for yourself you're doing it for
Hashem and if you're willing to give it
all up
then you get to keep it it's most
powerful thing and this is something
which almost every leader needs to
really think about is are you doing this
for your ego for yourself for your own
sense of self-esteem for your sense of
legacy and how people perceive you or
are you doing this because you actually
want to live a life of
truth if you actually want to live life
of Truth you'll do whatever that is if
you want to do it for yourself you'll
make sure to structure everything and
contain it into a way that works best
for you
so when a is willing to give up the
truth that he had lived his life for for
the sake of what Hashem told him to do
which by definition means the
truth that's when he got to keep the
truth that he lived his life for and
survived but here's the other side of it
for the question is not are you willing
to give up your life's work for the
truth the questions are you willing to
die for the
truth and that's a very
question because what's the purpose of
life the purpose of life is to live a
life of purpose a life of Truth the
highest value on on the hierarchy of
values is
truth so if you would rather
live than live a life of truth that
means that you you value life more than
truth which means that you've
essentially deconstructed the hierarchy
of values and you value your own
existence rather than truth existence
because you would rather live outside
the realm of Truth than live a life of
truth that's the whole principle of isem
tells it's brought down in sanedrin y
and that for all the mitos in the Torah
hasem says that you should live by them
not die for that meaning you're allowed
to violate any Mitzvah any commandment
to save your life except for the big
three idolatry adultery and murder
why the concept is something along the
lines of violating those Aus are such an
egregious violation of the fundamentals
of truth that it's better to die and not
walk outside the world of
Truth than to violate those in
live so the question essentially that
Hashem is asking
is is are you willing to give up your
life for the
truth
now we can give I give a three- hour
share on this in terms of where Hamas
corrupts us to the ultimate extreme
where they fundamentally value death and
they fundamentally pursue death to the
point of hating life so that the purpose
is to die and leave this world is
supposed to live a life of truth but the
question is not do you want to leave
this world do you want to die for the
truth as the ra says is a is then you
have to live by the truth the purpose of
life is not to die for the truth it's to
live by the truth
but the only way you can live by the
truth is to Value the truth so much that
you'd rather die than live outside the
realm of
Truth so what does
say says yes I'm willing to die for the
truth he tells that's why it's called
it's not Abraham's challenge that's the
real Foundation of's willing to bind
himself knowing that fundamentally he
won't be able to resist the temptation
to want to live and asking AB to tie him
down because what happens when he gets
tied down he'll be able to follow
through with his commitment to live a
life of Truth which in this case means
to give up your life for the
truth and kazal actually saying a very
deep sense that this was the first
example that thear says that when they
came back they found the ashes of
by of the because in a deep
sense the AA did happen to accept we're
not going to go now again you know all
these things require sh upon sh because
these are all very very deep topics
we're going to really just go through a
little bit of the the brief Cliff Notes
now but the
idea the real essence of this
idea is that once was willing to give up
his life for the truth Hashem said now
you can live in this world by the truth
so you have Abraham who's fundamentally
rooted in this world who tries to ascend
and leave this world in terms of trying
to connect the infinite once he does
that hasem says now go back down into
this world then you have y who wants to
live but is willing to transcend this
world is willing to ascend and give up
his life for the truth and once he does
that Hashem says now you can stay in
this world so you have two polarities
right you have one
who which is the infinite being
expressed into the finite you have which
is a finite that's ascending towards the
infinite and the ideal was then
basically filtered down into Yakov and
ASV so Yakov and asov the ideal
relationship between them was supposed
to be that Dynamic right you have you
know polarities in every sense of life
you have male female you have spiritual
and physical you have uh the world of
you know intellect and emotion you have
the world of religion and science you
have all of these different players you
have Torah versus business and
commerce so the polarity of was supposed
to be the ideal marriage where yakob was
supposed to represent the
spiritual the e as an something infinite
that's being expressed into this
physical world and ASA was supposed to
be the finite the more physical partner
in that relationship
which you know if you have any Business
Partnership you're always going to have
different people one person is going to
be the idealist who comes up with the
ideas the other person is going to be
the marketer who practically enforces it
when it comes to a community you're
going people who are you practically
taking care of things and you be have
have Visionaries who are going to
understand the big picture and the Big
Ideas when it comes to a you're going to
have the r who is giving sh you're going
to have the people who you know kind of
are building the community around it and
supporting it so the ideal relationship
was supposed to be where Yakov
represents that spiritual Foundation
asov is the physical foundation and
together they harmonize into the
ideal but asov rejected his role because
the biggest
struggle is thinking of yourself as Tel
thinking of yourself a secondary is
unimportant
so in every relationship there's always
going to be a struggle of am I actually
equal am I important or am I just
enabling and helping you and you're
basically the main character in the
story and everything's really about you
and I'm basically just an insignificant
supporting
character it's the fundamental human
story it's all history it's the current
political war um in terms of uh that
getting too political around in terms of
the postmodernists and the radical left
it's every fundamental battle on every
fundamental level is how
to justify being Superior and how to
tear down those who you think are taking
away your opportunity to achieve what
you want to achieve so in asa's eyes it
wasn't inequal partnership so much as
asov was getting the the raw end of the
deal and he was going to be the one who
basically was there to be the nobody to
help yako be the
somebody and what he did did is he
rejected the
story he said I'd rather create my own
my own hierarchy and become the king of
My
Universe then buy into the story so
instead of helping Yakov Express the
infinite into the finite Express the
spiritual into the physical I'm going to
reject the infinite reject the spiritual
and become the new leader in my own
hierarchy it's kind of in kaz's eyes
that's the birth of atheism where where
you become the highest ranking member in
your worldview you become the god of
your own universe and it's the ultimate
rise of what led to Christianity which
is a more religious atheism it's
essentially religion without religion
it's truth without law which
fundamentally is truth without truth
because without being able to implement
and live out Truth uh it's not really
truth so it's a fluffy version of Truth
so what ends up happening now is and
this was by the way at the moment that
Abraham died right when Yak saw the
fleeting nature of existence he chose to
basically become the god of his own
finite Universe rather than to devote
himself to an infinite where he would be
the subcategory of Yakov and Yakov would
be the
ideal so what ends up happening now is
that Abraham
has is a whole another sheer uh
fascinating topic especially for
everything that's going in the world
requires a much longer discussion but is
basically the successful
filter get filtered out becomes the the
next stage then yov and asov asov gets
filtered out you have yob yob then
splinters into
K clro you now have want to get the Live
question so let's yeah I'm getting there
I'm getting this is this is I'm trying
to condense a 45,000 hour here into in
just the 30 40 minutes we're going to
get there so what ends up happening now
is that now you have clell clell is now
expressed into
and if you want to think of it this way
you think of yoseph as paralleling Yakov
Yakov is the foundation that becomes
expressed in the CL Ro
yose is the role of yose is to connect
the pieces back together it's to be the
fundamental connector right so to
connect the pieces back into that
original Oneness so yov is one split
into 12 y as say reflects yov and is
supposed to reconnect the Jewish people
back
together and the ideal is for everyone
to play the role so you have the 12
everyone's different you have leaders
you have people who are you
know great spiritually in you have
people who go into business you have
people who are have these skill sets and
those skill sets you start to get the
diversity the expansion the expression
the the different types of flavors where
you have white light it gets refracted
through a prison you get seven colors
you have music that gets expressed into
the seven notes of the musical scale uh
you know time gets expressed into the
seven days of the week and you have clol
that gets expressed into
12 the problem
is is is multifaceted but in in essence
the real problem that is the the entire
essence of the Jewish story is what
happens with
Yosef Yosef has this dream and the dream
is that the brothers are going to bow
down to
him and again say that YF looked like
yob the yaka spent time learning with
Yosef Yosef had a special multicolored
jacket you know multicolored you kind of
see the idea of all the different colors
of the spectrum kind of synthesized into
one but yose the young yose expresses
this and what ends up happening is the
fundamental root of every interpersonal
struggle Sense on Asic level personal
level which is on the one
hand there's this sense of them K
basically said the ideal version and the
realistic version the ideal version is
they thought that y was the next level
of filtration right you have is is gets
filtered out you have yov and as gets
filtered out you
have Ys was very physical he physically
beautiful combing his hair you already
have as of attributes so there's this
idea of maybe ysep is the next person
needs to get filtered
out but the real depth of it is the
opposite it's that Yosef looks exactly
like Yakov Yosef is exactly like Yakov
cazel have many many different
associations where they were
fundamentally parallel so maybe Yosef is
actually the successor and we're the
ones that are going to get filtered
out maybe ysf is the ideal maybe yose is
the next Yakov and we're the next is
we're the next asov so what did they do
because of that jealousy that
inferiority complex of maybe you know
we're going to pretend like we're doing
the MS but really we're trying to
reverse it because we're afraid of
getting filtered out we're going to
knock Yosef down and what was USA's role
to connect the brothers together what
did he do he created conflict he created
jealousy what ended up happening through
the whole tsha story of yud and Tamar
and going down to MIM and the story of
bam is basically yose recreated the
opportunity for Kos to come back
together and he fulfilled the original
idea in the dream which is not yose
getting bowed down to as in being the
best but Yos being the synthesizer the
integrator of connecting all the pieces
together where then K all becomes one
again and that is the fundamental
component and that's why you have mhia
because once Yehuda who was the leader
that sold y ended up recognizing mistake
and then kind of submitted himself to
ysf inim that's when Yuda can become a
real leader that's when ysf can become a
real leader and that's when yosef's
leadership doesn't make everyone else
feel bad about
themselves but actually brings everyone
together so you know to bring it into a
lot of questions here's basically the
fundamental
idea the fundamental idea
is I would say I would say twofold in
terms of the co of CLI
Ro there's the external role that we've
always known in terms of throughout
history has been a question of Oram in
terms of what's our impact on the world
as a whole the root of anti-Semitism has
always been the same it's always been
because of
jealousy because leadership that makes
people feel bad about themselves will
definiely defini make people hate you so
if someone's great there are people who
are great that you just love them you
admire them you look up them but then
there are people that are great that
make you feel horrible about yourself it
make you it makes you remind yourself
about how insignificant you are about
how how much you are nowhere near what
you're supposed to be it doesn't make
you want to be better it makes you feel
worse so the only response that you
could have to such a person is to want
to get rid of them that's the Yos
complex if someone makes you feel bad
about yourself you will try to destroy
them because as opposed to becoming
great to make yourself no longer feel
bad about yourself the much easier thing
to do is to get rid of them but if you
can become a leader that inspires
greatness out of
others you become someone that makes
people feel good about becoming better
as opposed to feeling bad that they're
not where you are and that in the
deepest
sense is the root of K after this
problem right so before going into the
open Q&A like this is the most difficult
thing to contemplate on any
level which is that clel has many
different parts right within the F
Community there's different focuses
there people as we talked about people
focus strictly on on Jewish law then
there's mus self-development then
there's gar there's rash there's Ian
brisker style going into all the
different and really becoming
a and then there's the world of Jewish
thought Jewish philosophy then there's
Jewish thought Maka the deeper more
interconnected harmonistic deeper realm
of Torah and then there's different
strands of and different strands of
cabala and different variations
different formulations there's people
going into business there are people who
become experts in Manda and Science and
psychology and philosophy mathematics
and then there are people who try to
synergize that with Tor and then there
are people who really value Artis Ro and
you know whether their
or they really just value the
K and then you have all these different
various and throughout history there's
been people who go too far outside the
fold right so you have um you know if
you go through Jewish
history let's go on to question okay is
that okay sorry for cutting you off
but okay I'm just gonna end off with
this which is that the biggest
struggle and the biggest
kak you can have is the same thing which
is the root of a fundamentally trying to
solve theas
problem is to
see number
one the truth within every person that
you don't necessarily live life in
alignment with and to recognize that
you're not where you should be as well
but not to feel the need to lower other
down in order to put yourself into a
place where you feel like you own the
truth but to recognize that you're still
on the Journey of trying to live a life
of ever greater Ms as well and if you
then recognize that all the parts of
clus are part of one family not just in
a mushy gushy emotional way but in a
fundamental metaphysical spiritual way
and that instead of what you originally
has a 12 now we have different hashas
that build the full spectrum of clus you
start to appreciate the fundamental
importance of all of clus and in times
of tragedy and in these moments where we
kind of have this ripple effect where
something external awakens the Synergy
and Oneness of the entire Jewish people
we're feeling that we're tapping into
that and the goal now is not to be
inspired by it and then go back to
normal but to recognize the Deep truth
that lies at the center of that and you
know after the after the q& and the
polls I'll share one more deep idea but
again this this is a lot right this is
not inspiring this is not we can be the
best we can be this is not you know work
on your MOS this
is an opening into the fundamental
Gateway of taking the greatest Adventure
which is the journey to the truth and
it's impossible to do this in a lifetime
let alone 45 minutes but the purpose of
giving this type of tre the first time I
was on we spoke about self-development
and working on becoming myself Sak time
talked about t business this is a whole
different ballpark this is this is the
infinite game which is something almost
impossible to express and very difficult
to do so without getting slightly
vulnerable uncomfortable and borderline
on that which is impossible to express
but there is probably no time in our
lifetime that it's probably better to do
it now just because we're
experiencing the most interesting clima
I transition where we're now far enough
removed from October 7th to realize the
fleeting nature of it and yet close
enough to recognize the importance so
with that we will now
transition okay thank you okay let's
take a poll through questions then we'll
get into live
questions one second uh relaunch okay
here we
go you see the
questions okay here we go first question
is how long do you think Theus will last
three options four options but it shows
five but it's four as long as the has
are not returned then we'll still have
Aus option one option two till the war
is over option three until mhia comes or
option
four will it's starting to fade away
already that's the first
question second question why do you
think there's a real connection why do
you think there is a real connection
between old Jews so three options when
people are get us it brings out that we
are one number two we are a nation that
wants to help each other in
crisis number three under all the noise
we truly love all all Jews they're all
similar answers but they're all saying a
different point really um and the third
question is in general why do you think
Jews who have different levels of
observance aren't getting long so
there's four answers to this answer what
you think first answer some some have no
observance and do not look at as others
as part of them both ways whether you're
religious you don't look at the other
ones as part of you or whether you're
not religious you don't look at the
religious as part of
you second answer is many Jews don't
want any connection with Hashem and
religious Jews that's talken from their
point of view people that are not
religious that's from the religious
point of view we need boundaries not to
get influence so we so we so we stay
away from not from so because we're
religious if we start dealing with not
religious people maybe will become that
from or option four even very firm
communities have a hard time accepting
the other from
ones that are not like them so like
trying to say like even if you're you
like to stay within your crowd or
yourish like we have a hard time just
even going out of that zone so those are
the three questions ibody answer it to
the best of the ability your opinion and
then we'll get into the live questions
will go
first
okay five more
seconds okay let's share the poll here
we
go first question how long do you think
theas will last so 70% of people feel as
long as the hostages are not returned 21
27% of people till the war is over 28%
of people feel mhia comes and 36% of
people already feel that it's starting
to fade
away second
question why do you think there is a
real connection between between all Jews
49% of people when people are against us
it brings out that we are one 24% of
people we are a nation that likes to
help each other in crisis and 28% of
people under all the noise we truly love
all everybody all the
Jews and the third question is in
general why do you think Jews who are
different levels of observant don't get
along 12% of people feel some have no
observance they don't look at the the
religious look at they're not religious
they don't look at the religious so like
they don't like see I ey 11% of people
many Jews don't want any connection with
Hashem or religious Jews 10% of people
who need boundaries not get influence so
we stay from and a whopping 67% of
people say that even very from
communities have a hard time accepting
the other from ones not like them so we
in general like to stay within our very
small little box and that's what we
consider
comfortable R what do you say to the
polls what do you say to the answers
it's very interesting actually the last
one I think I think it's fascinating so
I I think
there's there's the first two I think
there's a very powerful idea which I
think is a is a paradigm shift that can
change the way people think about lot of
things which is when it comes to any
goal that's trying to be achieved are
you trying to achieve it or Surface
something that already exists right so
for example when it comes to marriage
are you trying to build a new
relationship or are you trying to
uncover the relationship that already
exists when it comes to learning
something are you trying to what John L
would say tape things onto a blank slate
or are you trying to
unsurfaced and knowledge that you
already have embedded within your soul
within your consciousness so when it
comes to Aus it's the same thing it's
not necessarily something that you're
trying to create as much as something
that you're tapping into right so if you
have white light and get your facted
through a prism you get colors right but
which one of those colors is the white
light so you can say all of them you can
say you know you add them all together
but when you refract Oneness into tuness
you actually get the expression it's
like a seed that grows into a tree that
you have millions of leaves they're all
stemming from that one seed so if you're
part of something infinitely bigger than
yourself then every time you feel like
you're part of something bigger than
yourself you're tapping into that and
when you have things like this like
you're tapping into something that
already exists so that's what would talk
about it as you're not creating Aus as
much as tapping into anus that already
exists on a root level it's not cre it's
already there but you're making it real
you're making it real in terms of
manifesting so it's there in a spiritual
like ethereal infinite Sense on an
Express level it's not yet real and when
you tap into and you feel it you're
tapping into something that exists in a
spiritual like root sense but you're
trying to manifest and the make it real
and that's the the connection that
exists between all Jews right you don't
have to create the connection as much as
express it so that's also like when you
get married there's the idea that your
Soul's already connected because I'll
explain that you get kind of broken into
two different souls two different
consciousnesses when you're born and
you're recreating the relationship that
already exists so it's the same thing
it's like when it comes
to when it comes to relationship with
when it comes to relationship with
yourself when it comes to really all of
these levels of consciousness and
existence it's not a practical creation
that just desp Spirit finite things are
walking around trying to connect
together so much as something that's
already fundamentally real that you're
both trying to tap into on a root level
and an Express an Express level what do
you think of the last poll the last
question so very small uh I don't use
the word small-minded but very they like
to stay comfortable in our very small
pound so the third one I think is
fascinating because you I was I was just
on Fox News talking about what's going
on political
Arena the the polarity in terms of
personality type right you can say men
are different than women you can say
Liberals are different than
conservatives you can say right-wing is
different than the more of the modern
types um you can say theim are different
than those who are more you know dumi
there are many different ways of
creating the spectrum of how you are
ideologically or Hally
Etc um so part of it is that people like
Comfort they like stability but that's
not true right there are lots of people
who like Adventure and creativity and
like to get outside of the
norm so what's really I would say
fascinating is that all of Jewish
history has been that Dynamic right you
have
Tav which is unchanging right it's never
has changed never will change no one
ever comes up with a new P right then
you have t b t b is fundamentally the
reason why it wasn't supposed to be
written is was never supposed to be fzed
it was never supposed to be canonized we
were never supposed to end it it was
supposed to always always be flowing and
always evolving because it supposed to
be the growing process of expanding Tav
into if you look at you know but I mean
this is kind of if you look at human
history it's one of evolution right in
terms of technological Evolution medical
Evolution evolution of values in terms
of the judeo-christian values becoming
more popular ized by you know kind of a
global setting well Tor B pet has also
evolved in terms of you know if you're
one of the I'm working on right now is
dealing with a lot of
[Music]
medical so answering whether or not you
can do an organ transplant or in terms
of brain death and in terms of a lot of
fundamental like these Trias weren't
asked in times of K but the fundamental
principles were and the extrapolation in
applying principles and dealing with the
back and forth of the growing expression
and expansion of living a tour life in
the world as the world grows is the
fundamental expansion of creativity and
expressed H expression of Truth in ever
evolving world but you'll always have
and this always has and this always will
be is two
polarities of the main population within
the Jewish Community within the world
which is the conservative minded people
and the liberal minded people
right the conservative minded people are
people who want to contain maintain and
retain everything that was so it's built
on the premise that the best is behind
us you know here we just hos
everything's kind of getting worse we
got to keep hold of everything that's
good and make sure that
we stop the downwards fall and those who
are creative and liberal and see the
incredible opport and potential and
where things are going say if the best
is ahead of us and we got to keep on
growing expanding getting better we
can't we have to get away from the past
and there are people who go too far
right there are people who
reject the expansion completely right
that's what we call the tkim right they
reject T they say that the only thing
that we have Tav and then you have
people who reject
Tav right who reject the past so you
have the original version which is
Christianity then you have uh you know
Islam then you have the reform movement
the conservative movement there's always
going to be a question of what's going
too far and the fascinating thing is
that you never know what's going too far
like when the r wrote the mission of
Torah was one of the most controversial
things in Jewish history he didn't he
didn't quote his sources they were rest
him at the time that thought that was
that was way too far nowadays the r is
equivalent with Tor itself like you
can't learnia and without quing the r
but at the time it was controversial so
there's always going to be writing down
the the T inos mean said that we had to
do it that was one of the most
controversial things in Jewish history
Hally it was user to write down the
gamarra writing down the gamarra the
Brilliance of how they did it was
writing it down in a way that's not
really written so you can't understand
it unless you learn it in AIO
understanding how to tap into the m and
the tradition having aabi to teach you
that but the the the back and forth of
of liberalism and conservatism is the
fundamental back and forth of T tet is
the whole story of Jewish history it's
the whole story of human history it's
why you always have Republicans and
Democrats even though right now it's not
really liberals and conservatives that's
a whole another story but the idea is
that there are people who always want
stability and to keep things the way
they are and then there are people who
always want to make things better the
people that want to make things better
they usually reject the way things are
the people who want to keep things the
way they are they usually reject the
direction that people who want to make
things better especially because people
who want to make things better are
usually
idealists and they live in this kind of
utopian ideal of what things could be
without really having it being practical
whereas people who are practical it's
boring right there's no real Vision or
exciting um Mission when you want to
stay in place so if you want to inspire
people you need to be a Visionary but if
you want to achieve something need to be
practical the goal has always been
synthesizing both that's why you don't
have t or t you have both the ideal
people who understand you that's why
politics is complicated because the
ideal would be for politics to be the
expression of Truth which it no longer
is but the ideal would be someone who is
a synthesis of both ideals but you
always have you know Party politics
where it's basically a different
religion of basically choosing one so in
Israel we had the same thing until the
war which is the versus the and it's the
same thing going on in America it's the
same thing that always happens but it's
not choosing one value over the other as
much as building a Channel of
communication to understand where each
other are coming from and that's the
same thing when it comes to you want to
start simple you have two communities
both are from both
have a similar enough hashkafa that
there's real dialogue those communities
in many times will'll never talk each
other right and then you have extreme
differences that is more explainable why
they won't talk to each other but the
first step is communication and
recognizing the value within that which
you are not and most people won't want
to do that because it makes them
question their identity and their
existence and if you have to question
your identity you have to be willing to
give it up and most people are willing
to do that so most people stabilize and
once you stabilize you have to reject
the other because that's the only way
you can justify who you are so the third
one actually is probably the most
interesting um of all the
questions go to you first hi thanks I
was worried they might kick me out soon
so thank you for letting me go first I'm
just wondering though uh I Ian I haven't
been to Israel during this time you know
I yeah i' heard about you know all the
certainly the the morale Theus but but
I'm wondering how much of it's being
motivated right now just simply being in
a survival mode they realize these
people are out to kill us it doesn't
matter what our level Yiddish kite or
affiliation and I'm sure they people
that you know were just sharing you know
certainly
traumatized so would that probably even
aren't we get what we would have to sort
of deal with that first before getting
to you know this higher level
of you know of you know of you know
spirituality machine I mean I see this
as a precursor to Mish and I think
people definitely are more aware this
has made them more aware of you our
place in the world never the less it is
traumatizing and I'm just wondering if
they're going to um if that's if that's
something that's going
to you know be sort of an immediate
issue uh you know just just staying
alive and
uh you know and you know I guess you you
we still worried about the hostages of
of course but you know you know the
immediate things of the war and even
seems to have spread even to you know to
Iran so do you see that maybe as I don't
want to say an obstacle but just but
it's sort of a first step I mean you
know something that a priority in a
sense you know people just overcoming
just uh you know just the whole shock
and outrage of what happened in uh you
know reminds you of Pearl Harbor you
know 1941 one where people were you know
it shook them up it affected the
nation uh so you know so do you do you
just see do you see that really as an
immediate thing before um 100% 100% I
mean we're talking in retrospect because
it's been happening for four and a half
months yeah
yeah without a question without a
question with there's there's many
different levels of analysis when you're
talking about global global systems and
Global Concepts so with in Israel itself
the
unquestionable motivation from a
political perspective that's why the
political parties all synthesized and
basically put all put the differences
aside getting to a lot
of relating factors as to you know the
situation before and why that happened
but the moment that there is an
existential threat that's the biggest
advantage of an external existential
threat there's levels of ideals so if
we're talking about which political
party should be the ideal party of
Israel that's a conceptual idealistic
conversation if we're talking about
everyone is trying to kill us there all
of a sudden becomes an us against that
the US solidifies interconnects and
reinforces the Synergy momentarily to
overcome the external enemy and within
the the debate between the the right
wing and left wing and the non-religious
and the religious and people joining the
Army Etc so first of all that was
completely put on hold momentarily and a
lot the reserves you know hundreds of
thousands of reserves came back even
from you know 100 thousands from outside
of Israel and a lot ofan started joining
the Army which you know sparked a lot of
kasham a lot of yeah I see a lot of
sociological changes that'll come about
from the you know yeah the willingness
to be more involved in
life well it's interesting because let
me ask you this let me ask you this you
know how long ago did to did Co
happen um over four years ago but I was
one of the first by the way I caught it
late 2019 before it was even known but
it wasn't yeah was it was we yeah four
years ago ear as of March 2020 it the
whole world you know went kaboo whatever
yeah sense it feels like Co happened
forever ago right it feels like like 100
thousand years in certain sense also
feels like Co never happened right
because there was this at the time there
was this conception like life is never
goingon to go back to normal like the
whole everything's GNA change the whole
university system school system people
actually going to their work going to
their people just and everything went
back to normal so have things evolved
and has there been like a seed stage of
the next stage of saying what did we
learn learn from Co how can we that yes
but there's always the the seed stage
disappears and then the implementation
of some of the ideals that we tapped
into we'll see how it unfolds yeah just
kind of accelerated things that were
already happening but that's a you know
just won't know it's so later well thank
you thank you yeah pleasure
beautiful
okay so so the question now is how to
take it a little bit to the
practicality uh this is a question
that we always get you know when we have
a Sor we have something that's
happening then it puts us together we
try to do whatever we can the comes out
but the question is how long it last
like we discussed and what are some
practical things that we should do that
we could do like you're saying what's
our um the mission now to make sure it
doesn't Fade
Away keep it the way you know keep it
the right
mindset so it's it's the classic
question it's the classic question and
there's a reason why cliches are cliched
it's it's important but the usual answer
is also cliched right which is uh you
know build relationships try to see the
best in people try to get outside your
comfort zone Etc
etcc here's what I think is the actual
real practical
work it's it's like a real deep dive
into self-awareness which
is one of the biggest struggles
individuals have is selfworth right A
lot of people get their selfworth
by either viewing themselves as better
than other people and so you walk into a
room you look around you say am I better
than people in B andc because that's
what I value most to gain myself worth
if I'm better than other people then I
can value
myself if you really start getting
yourself worth by trying to actualize
your unique potential and trying to be
the best
you then you start to become
unfaced by other people and you realize
that like if you're on a team you don't
want to be better than everyone else you
want the team to win right so you want
people to be as good as they can be as
well and it's not that you want people
to be better than you because we're not
racing against each other like no one
else is supposed to be you so you're not
supposed to be anyone else so then if
you're being the best you and they're
being the best them and together you're
becoming the best Collective whole it's
like a cell in a human body isn't trying
to outrace or compete with another cell
in the human body you're all on the same
team so once you view that and an
individual sense in a familial sense in
a communal sense in a clal sense those
are hierarchies in your identity of
s then you start to realize I'm not
trying to be the best in my family I'm
not trying to be the best in my team I'm
not TR trying to be the best in my
company I'm trying not trying to be the
best in my community I'm not trying to
be the best in
CRA I want to live out a life of Truth
and I want everyone else to do that as
well and it's not the same as much as
the Blended synergies of individualistic
distinction that harmonizes into
something greater a great song doesn't
have a million of the same notes being
played a great picture doesn't have just
the color blue a great idea doesn't just
have one letter repeated its ideas are
comprised of letters and words and
paragraphs and building up the
communication of Truth so it's the same
thing when it comes to CLI R you don't
have to lower those who are different
than you down to raise yourself up and
you can start on a very simple level but
between just building that within your
own individual life of I don't need to
lower anyone else down to gain my own
selfworth I gain my self worth by
actualizing my potential by becoming the
person hasm created me to become once
you express that idea to its fullest
there's no difference between individual
selfworth versus one other person and
communal
selfworth to another Community or to a
related hashkafa you start easy with you
know a similar hashkafa and then if you
take it to its real logical extreme you
can see the value within people that
actually see things very differently
than you right so for example I just
give you example in a business let's say
a person is an idea oriented person
comes up with business ideas those
people make no money because they don't
know how to implement they don't know
how to build the infrastructure they
don't know how to Market they don't know
how to sell let's say a person only
knows how to do the infrastructure and
market and sell they don't have any
ideas they also can't make money you
need each other to build the ideal
partnership to scale it properly let's
say you have Amazing Ideas you're going
to become a great speaker you just have
no audience and you don't know how to
write a book and you don't know how to
impact anyone so there's no way of
actually you need both there's always a
dynamic there's always a relationship so
the first step is to gain yourself worth
from being the best to you not by being
better than other people the second step
is to expand that idea communally the
third step is to see the value in those
that you don't necess necessarily agree
with in terms of the direction you're
going
in but you see something good in that
that's the the basic concept of the
missos of you know who is wise one who
learns from everyone it's not just being
able to learn from everyone as an indivi
on an individual level it's being able
to always expand your own Horizons of
your own ideal of what you could become
by recognizing that there are people who
are doing things in a very different way
but they have a
certain k a certain ability that would
actually balance you out even more if
you can get outside the ego of
competition and actually try to just go
on the Journey of trying to live out a
life of anus just uh just to talk about
that for a second for some for a
beginner somebody was never de into self
introspection how would one know if he
strling with
selfworth just like a basic
idea I think the best barometer is the
way that you talk to
yourself as
in you've never been inside anyone
else's head so you don't know what the
norm
is but the conversation that's happening
inside of you is literally you talking
to
yourself right so the the question is
who are you talking
to who's talking right are you talking
or are you listening are you the voice
that's knocking you down are you the
voice that's knocking you up are you all
those voices right are you an intellect
are you emotions are you a body are you
a Consciousness are you will so there's
a whole world inside of each of
us and the starting point is to take
ownership over that story as in to
utilize the starting point of your
conscious existence which is R which is
Will to direct everything
else and that's you know in essence the
whole purpose of my first saer is to
understand the essence of Torah is to
live a life of expressing your true
potential and actualizing your unique
cost by going on the journey to your
true self and living life of Ms and
Torah but to understand your self worth
you want to think about how you talk to
yourself so a lot of people they talk to
themselves really like you never want to
ever hear anyone talk to anyone the way
that most people talk to themselves
right they look in the mirror and they
say can't believe you did that again
like you're such an idiot you're a fool
like what's wrong with you why you keep
on doing that you're never gonna do that
you have an idea I'm gonna take on I'm
gonna build something I'm G create
something I you something the voice in
the back of your head says no you're not
what makes you think you can do anything
good you've never done anything good you
every single time there's an opportunity
to knock yourself down most people don't
need someone else to knock them down
they knock themselves down then there
are
people who are out of touch with reality
right they're overly confident they
basically think of themselves as
infinitely greater than they actually
are now is there a Mot to that does it
help in some situations yes but if
you're out of touch with reality then
that's just becoming a Bala an
egotistical maniac right you become a
narcissist so building that healthy
selft talk that reinforces the part of
you that wants to become the best
version of you is a good sense of
self-worth and the best another great
parameter is whether you identify your
existence relative and in comparison to
other people so if you only identify as
smart because you're smarter than other
people or you're only you know aalos or
B MOS working on yourself because you
see other people and you're doing it
more than them or you're good-looking
because you walk into room and you think
you're better looking than everyone else
or you're you know the most humble
person you know because you think you're
the you're more humble than everyone
else like there's a lot of ways to build
an unhealthy existence so a dependency
existence where your entire life is
dependent on someone else is unhealthy
unless you have a unique dependency on
yourself in hash because the struggle of
trying to live a life of Truth is
balancing between am andos where on the
one
hand what we're talking about bu
building self-worth building confidence
trying to really take ownership over
your story in your
life
it's very
difficult to communicate how many people
struggle with at least in the initial
stage taking complete dependence
Independence and ownership and blocking
Hashem out as well right so you can
start out by being completely dependent
on other people right you only love
yourself if you're spous you you only
love yourself if you have people that
you think like you for being the person
that you think they they want you to
become so most people live as a
reflection of what they think other
people think they should be which is
ironic because you'll never know what
people think of you or what they want
you to be
but to build it healthfully you want to
take complete ownership and become
independent of what other people think
not to gain yourself forth from other
people to become someone who becomes a
Chooser so you choose what you think
about what you focus on what you're
doing with your time what you're
learning what you're building what
you're creating what you're achieving
you start to build a vision for yourself
you build a direction for your life you
start to utilize your time you start to
value your time you don't give out your
time for free because you actually want
to do something with your time and
everything that you do with your life is
a choice and then you start to actually
become someone who is choosing their
life but you do that as a reflection of
trying to connect to hasem as opposed to
kind of blocking out everything which
includes a right so that's kind of the
next stage is once you take ownership
over your mindset and your time and your
decisions and your life you don't take
complete ownership you recognize the
source of everything that you're able to
do so comes from a so most people make
one of those mistakes they either live
in Eternal dependency on other people or
they break away from dependency but then
become completely independent from
everybody including
has the key is to basically do both
independent from people dependency on
Hashem but a sense of Independence to
still completely depend on myself to
make the decisions to build the life
that I think I'm supposed to live which
is really going on the Journey of trying
to figure out what you're supposed to do
with your
life so the short answer to your
question is that there is no short
answer to that question it's one of the
most powerful questions one can ask but
the real simple answer is to just pay
attention to like self-awareness is an
endless journey of trying to literally
just step outside and be aware of what
is so the first thing is like go through
your day how do you talk to yourself how
do you use your time what are you doing
with your time um what kind of people
you have in your life are they positive
are they people that are going to help
you move in a better direction do you
have a vision for your life are you
heading in a good direction with your
life and the more that you build a
healthy internal environment the easier
it becomes to see the value in other
people because you don't need to knock
them down in order to justify your own
existence okay let's go to the next Live
question you're
on um yeah hi um so I don't know if uh
this is a question that you would want
to answer it's um I need to formulate it
like as I ask it um so uh you mentioned
before about there are people who are
holding you know they want to hold on to
the past and then there are people who
are you know ready and willing to
embrace the present and the future right
MH um I'll give the example like during
covid um I I I wasn't like you know into
the news I didn't know who was sick and
who was dying you know I was in my house
with my kids we were like in a little
cocoon and we were having a great time
you know but when I didn't because I
didn't know what was going on out there
like I can't say I was I I dobin so much
because you know I only heard about it
if I spoke to somebody and told me oh
did you hear so many people are dying so
people are sick and then I heard about
it right so um I feel like there are a
lot of there are a lot of people that
they they don't have access they don't
have iPhones they don't have I mean you
know smartphones they don't they don't
watch the news they don't they aren't
aware so much about what's going on in
the world what's going on in
Israel um like I just had a friend you
know friends will ask me so what's going
on right these are people who are
choosing not
to um have the technology in their home
right and they don't even I I feel like
and I don't me I don't mean to be
judgmental I'm just I'm curious about it
you know like they don't end up feeling
this AAS because they aren't really
affected by what's going on they're
really really unaware about what's
happening in Israel or what's i i a lot
of people are you know because they just
they don't have access to
it 100% so it's a fascinating question
and it doesn't really stop there because
it's always mahel talks about how
everything is
potential right so when it comes to your
particular question there are levels of
analysis in terms of each stage so for
example you can be flooded with infinite
data right you can watch the news all
day every day you can be in every
WhatsApp group you can be on Twitter and
x and you know every social media
platform and you can expose yourself to
every data point possible and because
you have all the data now you can be
justly and uniquely able to tap into the
ultimate possible form of feeling what's
going on or you can completely remove
yourself you can be someone who not only
isn't doesn't have access to the live
stream you don't have access to anyone
who has access to live stream right so
you have three friends you make sure
that those three friends are like you
that they also don't talk to anyone who
stepped in so those are two polarities
then you can start building some Nuance
which is making a choice of do I value
being connected to what's going on in
the world yes or no right if yes why if
the answer to yes is because I feel like
part of my responsibility is not to be
an isolated individual but I'm part of a
family a community I'm part of C I'm
part of the world
and I feel a sense of responsibility to
be you know let's not start from adish
let's start from you today right so you
know that there's a situation going on
in the world and let's assume that you
can now start from scratch so you can
choose do I have any social media
platforms yes or no do I have any news
outlets yes or no do I go on any news
Outlet websites yes or no if yes how
often when and how much and what's the
point and which ones and you start
making educate decisions on how to
craft the reception of data to reinforce
an articulated goal most people do not
live that way most people live as a
result of whatever impetus enters into
their world they don't choose they don't
choose the starting point of what's
entering in so they have whatever's on
their phone or if they have internet
whatever's on the internet if they have
social media whatever on social media if
they have the news outlets whatever they
don't craft it and most people also not
new ones so it's yes or
but if you go with a goal as then I want
to attain certain information so I can
achieve a calculated goal because I feel
like that's what Hashem wants me to
do then there's a way to do that so
within the
current framework of what you already
know there's plenty to be connected with
there's plenty to do for there's plenty
to work on for yourself and I always say
the best way to help other people is to
work on yourself right you want to
inspire others Inspire yourself you want
to teach others educate yourself you
want to you know help people in need
work on yourself because that will help
you help a lot of people the the best
way to feel
connected is to become someone capable
of helping those who you can help when
you're connecting with them so just
getting data information is not
necessarily helpful doing is amazing but
again the two levels are basically
number one
choosing an infrastructure of how to tap
into a framework that you want to tap
into as opposed to it controlling you
most people who
have social media WhatsApp news news
outlets whatever it is most of those
people are controlled by the medium
they're not using the medium the medium
is using them right that itself it's a
topic we can spend hours talking about
because that's the the fundamental
struggle of every person living in the
world right now is that most people are
not expressing out their goals onto the
world as much as the world expressing
itself onto them so people don't have
ownership over their time their thoughts
their emotions their goals they're not
building something they're just
basically being used by the systems that
use
them but the the real answer for that
question is to do it a priority which is
to really first think about the goal at
hand what do you want to build and
Achieve and then build habits and
systems around your goals to help you
achieve them as opposed to most people
who don't have the goals to start with
and if they do they can't achieve them
because they're overloaded with all the
things that are holding them back from
achieving their goals so the simplest
way to live a brilliant life is to build
a life that allows you to have the
ability to live out the life that you
think you're supposed to live so that's
building good systems good habits
creating the right goals having amazing
Rel teachers and then building your life
in alignment with that so I I appreciate
what you're saying I'm just wondering
like you know in the in the broader
sense like this unity in order like in
order for it to last do we need that
more people should be aware of what's
going on like there are people who are
choosing not
to like they're not exposing themselves
they like
so then what happens I think it's a fair
it's a fair question but here's what I
would say there's levels of knowing
what's going on right so
I've let's say you know my my platforms
have reached you know probably over a
100 million people uh in the past four
or five
months right part of that is because I
you know took on responsibility of being
very on top of the narrative things were
going on and trying to inspire people as
everything broken
chaos but there's no need to know
everything that's going on so
there's the existential struggle that
client's facing and then there's the day
byday detail by detail minor breaking
story major breaking story M minor
updates major updates so everyone at
this point knows the
general the general struggle CL was
going through the to the extent that
each person wants to personalize how
much they know to improve their level of
sensitivity and emotional connectivity
so they can improve their sense of
that's a person by person right in terms
of you again that's what we just went
through in terms of feeling
responsibility to inform everyone so
then you'd have to again realize that no
two people are the same and no two
people need the same amount of data
which is really the personalized
empowerment perspective of each person
needs to have mentors and people that
can help them help themselves build the
type of
personal type of way of answering that
question there's no answer that would
fit everyone just as there's no kind of
you know single generic type of way to
answer any fundamentally individual
question but the real answer is that the
more that you know what you're trying to
achieve the more you can build a system
around yourself to help you achieve that
and the way that you framed it
is the simple answer is that I think
everyone knows enough to be able to
start the Journey of increasing my level
of it's it's really in every area in in
any area life that you that you feel
that they don't get it the way you do so
you feel that there's a difference so
then you have to stop and think um how
can I have AAS with all of those people
out there that we don't see things the
same way whether it's the question that
we just heard or talk about everything
else in in yish kite or beliefs whatever
it is that what do I how am I supposed
to relate to those people if they don't
take it the way I do right so that's
really the yeah that's the question I
right that's a deep question and this is
really what we discussing tonight and
it's something to think about of how do
we have AK in a bigger in a general way
if they don't see this the same way I do
that's it even like have respect for it
you know like exactly so you have people
that always going to be different
they're not going to see the same level
as you now the question is how do we you
know relate to each other with ak's
understanding no they chose not to I CH
I choose yes they choose this is this is
where we are you're always going to have
it no matter where you
are thing I've also found it's also
interesting if you have a certain View
[Music]
it's very rare to change someone else's
view to align with yours and the reason
is is because very few people are
willing to give it up right so you can
combat it by saying you're wrong I'm
right that's not going to work you can
be in a unique position where people
don't yet have a view and you're
educated right so you you you're a MOA
or you're Rabbi teaching an yiva
Seminary and people don't yet have a
perspective in you're building that's
why J explains the most powerful and the
grace responsibility anyone ever has is
to be the first person to share a
perspective on a topic when someone
hasn't yet had exposure to a perspective
on a topic because that will usually
become their perspective on the topic
right the first impressions the deepest
but another perspective is that if you
have a perspective you have an
idea sharing it sharing it with your
friends not in a way that here's what
I'm doing you should do this as well but
the love that you have for that which
you believe in is much more impactful
than sharing why your approach is better
than someone else's approach and then
that approach allows people to listen to
what you're saying even if they have a
different approach without feeling that
you're attacking them and then allows
them to consider it and once you do it
from a frame of sharing as opposed to
preaching and teaching it allows it for
be for it to be a dialogue as opposed to
a transformational experience where
because they know you're not trying to
change their life and make you make them
give up their life to align themselves
with your will and the way you see the
world you can have a conversation and
then they'll say wow I never thought of
it this way and maybe they'll share
something that enlightens you and you
say wow I never thought of it that way
and all of a sudden you have a
conversation and that's where you
basically now help each other expand
beyond your horizons so it's not easy
and again because the moment that you
share if you're doing it face to face
they'll immediately you know first say
is this person trying to change me feel
attacked yeah they'll feel attacked they
feel judged they'll feel unappreciated
feel like oh you know best you know what
makes you think you're so great that's
why the gamar says that no one can give
to
anymore because anyone who gives to
everyone will look at them and say who
are you to give who are you to judge me
you think you're perfect so the best way
to give to is not
to share why what people are doing is
wrong and why what you're doing is right
but to actually just share what you
believe is the truth in a way that comes
from a place of sharing as opposed to
judgmental preaching it's not easy to do
it's a very rare skill set and it takes
lots of practice but the best Educators
I've ever seen mastered that skill set
and it's needed in any relationship talk
about spouse your kids anytime you want
to influence anything and that's that's
why it's tricky because you want to
influence and they feel it 100% but but
the real question is when it's a
situation that actually somebody sent in
the question I've been through struggles
in life and people out there have ruined
my life do you think hasem wants me to
have and Sh it takes us to that question
of making peace with
people that really you know you don't
feel that right thing is to make peace
with them or how to it's not it's very
hard because they you know whatever
whatever happens yes so this is probably
a 40 hour conversation because it really
gets into every level ofh analysis
because
you you want to ask number one is this
the same person that did this to me
number two is does Hashem want me to
have a relationship with everyone as
then I don't need to be friends with
everyone right I can and again we talked
about root level Express level like what
they did was wrong does that mean that
they are a bad person and maybe they did
sh the right maybe they're no longer the
same person also do I is there a value
of me wanting to fix a relationship with
someone who ruined my life as it may be
the real struggle is for me to forgive
them realize it came from Hashem and
move on right do I have to go back as
then there's the emotional damage so
there's the trauma that's going to be re
awoken every time right what if they
haven't improved and they don't want to
be better am I supposed to have a
relationship with someone who's still
broken breaking me broke me and so the
these are very complicated questions and
there's it's not that there's a right
answer it's not that there's one level
of like here's the real question it's
like layers and layers there's the
question of when someone ruined my life
did they ruin my life do I know the
whole story um was my life supposed to
be ruined it happened through them um
did they intend to ruin my life maybe I
also wasn't the the person I am today
back then maybe you know I kind of let
them ruin my life or maybe I was part of
that ruining my own life and they were
kind of just the the impetus that kind
of had it all toppled
down these things
are psychoanalysis is fascinating
because it allows you to
recognize you know Carl Young had the
the arel on his desk and that he learned
everything on the arel and Freud is you
know self-hating as he was as a Jew
um you
there's you know in terms of how kazal
discussed the the r and the nees and how
Freud kind of talked about the inner
structure of our
psyche um these are these are really
fascinating questions
because you don't have time to have a
relationship with everyone in the
world right so you're not supposed to be
friends with everyone
but the people that you are friends with
why are you friends with them right
there's different types of friends
there's friends that you don't even know
why you're friends with them you grew up
with them you sit in class next to them
your neighbors then there are friends
you had good experiences with there are
friends that you have the same you know
you you only talk about one topic
because that's the one thing you have in
common and every single time you see
them you just have the same conversation
nothing new happens and then there's
friends that you share values with that
you grow with together you go on a
mission life with together that you do
things with an meanful level together
and the greatest form of that is
marriage so you want to choose the
people in your life there's no Mitzvah
to have a deep relationship with
everyone in the world to not hate
someone is a different thing so to
forgive to allow yourself to overcome
the trauma that someone inflicted upon
you and all the layers that go into that
and the difficulty that goes into that
to revisit it to open it up and to
recognize that maybe it actually helps
build you into the person you are today
and it actually destroyed you to allow
you to birth yourself into a new version
of you which is a much more genuine real
version of you and then that's how all
growth
works and sometimes you don't even have
to talk to the person you can literally
just forgive them and sometimes they
don't even know the damage they did to
you as in you were going through
something and something they did the way
they did it how they did the timing how
they said it what they didn't say like
you were just a passing person in their
story but in your life they're one of
the main characters in your story they
don't even
no so it's not really about them anymore
it's about you and once it's about
you that's where you say two things
number one is the result was good even
if the event was horrible and you have
to find the good in the result which
takes a lot
of time and patience and self-awareness
and number
two is you say that I don't love what
they did but I know that even if they
are out of touch with their potential
and they messed up I'm able to tap into
that root component which is the famous
gar of the the ideal way to view a bad
person is that I hate what they did I
don't hate them right so and the real
depth of that is that at root that's why
you know we're coming up the PES soon we
say at the SED we say he right you're
supposed to knock out the teeth of the
Russia so I don't do a lot of gatri but
one of my favorite gat I've been sharing
at my seder since I was like 10 years
old is that if you
take um the word Russ and you knock out
shav you subtract sh from Russia you get
the gatri ofad right and when we're in
the womb when the we say we make an oath
that we're gonna become a so our ideal
true root self is perfect and sometimes
we mess up in life but the root doesn't
change and you have to knock out shav
you have to knock out that surface layer
to get people back to their root and
sometimes you get that from Hashem hasem
kind of knocks you up a little bit and
and pushes you around but just wakes you
up that's a wakeup call for you to
really go on the Journey of life but
sometimes someone does that to you and
when that person does that to you they
might be acting out the story of Rasha
but when you get to the point where you
are able to consider forgiving us also
by the
way very often you forgive them not to
forgive them but to heal yourself right
so one of my favorite lines is
that anger is like drinking I think
there's anger is like drinking poison
and expecting the other person to
die all you're doing is hurting yourself
so really you're thinking do I have
permission to forgive them should I
forgive them but really the question is
are you willing to allow yourself to
move on and not to move on as in pretend
it didn't happen but to move on as in to
grow from it not to just kind of move
away from it
so it would it would be convenient if if
no one had this type of question but I
think you anyone who's lived life even a
little bit has gone through uh some of
these types of situations where people
have
really done things to you and you kind
of feel like they're holding you back if
you can give yourself permission to
forgive them you'll actually give
yourself permission to allow your life
to become everything could
be beautiful let's go to the last Live
question then we'll go to
closing okay I'm
mute hi yes hi um I wanted to say I'm
asking with everything you said I've
been really trying to live my life I'll
pee the suggestions that you've done but
now I'm having a hard time with with
this whole war that the Hamas took the
videos themselves of what they did to
people and then people are
denying that they did it to me I have a
hard very hard time um like with that
and even like politically sometimes with
certain things where they prove
something beyond a shadow of a doubt but
then people deny
it I live very realistically and I have
a hard time
to associate it's easier for me not to
deal with these people because I I
somehow I can't have a respect for
somebody who doesn't see the TR truth
and it's not an opinion that is it a
truth we have pictures we have we have
verification if it was an opinion I
could go along and I do go along all the
time but where there is actual data and
and physical proof of something and
people deny it how do you deal with that
how do you how do you have a respect for
somebody who could just lie about
something that they could
see so that is it's a fascinating
question it's a brilliant question and
there's many different layers of
analysis in terms of how to approach it
one is to actually go to the starting
point of number one
why
people are being fed a narrative that
would make them believe this is and
there's always been deniers of every
thing in life right there are people who
deny God there are people who deny the
Holocaust happen there are people who
deny um morality there are people who
deny that October 7th happened and you
have pictures and videos they'll either
refuse to watch the picture and videos
or they'll say that they're made up
right you I just saw an AI ad that
pretended to be you know someone saying
something and I knew it didn't happen
that you know basically what was a fake
but anything can be anything so the
question becomes twofold number one is
how do you know anything right so do you
know you know how do you know that
you're not sleeping right now and this
is a
dream right hopefully it's a good dream
how do you know that you have purpose
how do you know that you exist right
maybe this is all simulation how do you
know that I have Consciousness right
maybe you're aware of your own existence
but you don't know if everyone else in
the world is actually AI robot and
you're the only real person that ever
existed right how do you know the Sun is
going to rise tomorrow that's a
causation question you actually don't
there's nothing that's you know right
definitively so then you get into how
you know anything's real so you know
things are real because you trust right
how do you know that when the next step
you're going to take you're not going to
fall to the Center of the Earth how do
you know you get an airplane you know
everything's going to be okay so there's
statistics there's data there's ways of
building a sense of trust and part of
that is just how you can function the
world so then how do you know God exists
how do you know that Judaism is correct
how do you know that anything is at this
so there are stages in life there ways
of building answers to questions their
way of Defending premises and Truth
their way of building answers but then
in today's day and age there's infinite
data always all the time and we live in
a data War which is a narrative War
and then you
have people who control what data people
are being fed controls the Swarm so the
people who believe that October s
happened are not the blame they've been
fed all the data necessary for them to
digest a narrative that reinforces that
whether some people are culpable and
responsible for believing it because
they want to believe it that's a whole
another question the real question is
why are people at the top feeding that
narrative why like the professors the
colle professors in the colleges
Hollywood the elite left the the the you
know liberal media CNN BBC why do they
do that so that's a whole different
question right that's something which
you know I've been working on a
different project um I wear you know 100
different hats you know we took off the
20 Robins hat tonight we did more of the
balaka there's the garan there's
politics there's philosophy there's
psychology there's business this is more
of
a
fundamental
existential truth oriented postmodern
question
so let's kind of build the spectrum of
you know this is this might be a good
thing to end off with can I'll maybe
share one more idea after this
but if clausell is is Ultimate synthesis
which is the synthesis and marriage
between the infinite and finite the
spiritual and the physical you have
different variants of people who take
different sides of that equation right
so you
have what we'd call
Islam which again there's a hundred
different variants of Islam but
especially the Hamas terrorists extreme
version of Islam which is really built
off of of isal which is a whole sh that
we didn't get to give tonight it's a
hatred of this world it's a love of
spirituality it's a love of the world to
come it's an obsession with the world to
come it's an obsession with spirituality
and the truth but a hatred of the
physical world so they hate everything
physical limited corporeal they're much
more extreme in their being M against
connecting to the physical world there's
no synthesis there's no Harmony there's
no Oneness there's an obsession with
death because that means you get to
leave this world and go to the world to
come there's an obsession with death of
killing other people because this world
is meaningless and fleeting and there's
an obsession with the reward you're
going to get by leaving this world it's
not a fundamental expression of becoming
a manifestation for tellima living a
life of Truth as much as a hatred of
everything that's not absolute truth
which is not infinite which is not
spiritual so it's a ha of this world and
then you have Buddhism sad
Buddhism is very sad truth to it there's
a truth to it is and they're tapping
into the truth of a spiritual and ior
being more important than the
t but then rejecting everything else and
then you have Buddhism which is a softer
version of that which is a rejection of
the physical but also rejection of any
goal or destination so it's rejecting
everything in this world but also not
really striving to anything in another
world and then you have atheism which is
a rejection of anything infinite
anything spiritual any any destination
any purpose
and then you have Christianity which is
kind of in between atheism and Judaism
where it kind of is a soft acceptance of
God but no real consequential nature to
living out that truth in this world
because there's
no there's no system of living out truth
right there's no law there's no Torah
it's just basically be a good person but
it lacks the structure of expressing
truth in this world so it's basically
you get to live in this world you get to
believe in God the only thing you need
to do to get another world is to believe
but there's no action oriented and
there's no real becoming perfect because
there's no way to become perfect because
there's no system of living out
truth so the postmodernists are those
who are so you know evolved
intellectually that they believe that
there no there is no truth there's no
purpose to the world we're Advanced
monkeys there's no real source to life
and there's no purpose to life there's
no truth there's no morality there's no
existence there's no met existence it's
the essence behind the transgender
movement because if there's no truth and
there's no God there's also no truth in
terms of con Concepts so there's no
concept of male and female and basically
the reason why it's being pushed is
because if we can break down the concept
of male and female we can break down the
concept of Truth and then people can
embrace the truth that they believe
which is that there is no truth which
means that you're going to live a couple
years in this world and as opposed to
devoting your whole life to get some
fairy tale on the other side of doesn't
exist just enjoy whatever life you have
while you're here and kind of live in
the whatever utopian world that you want
to live in with no consequences so
Israel is the
biggest the biggest enemy to that
ideology because Israel represents the
worst of what they fear America might
become right America was founded on a
conflict right are we going to be better
than Europe and be more of a open
religious community or are we going to
be enlightened atheists that reject the
monarchy Christianity and everything
that came before was right in God we
trust but you know half of the founding
fathers were atheists Israel is the only
religious democracy in the world right
so Israel represents the worst nightmare
of the left which is a democracy that
Embraces religion where they wanted to
basically move further in their
evolutionary
Theory which is away from religion
Donald Trump you know is bringing back
the religious founding Foundation of
America and reinforcing that structure
and they are trying to push this
transgender
LBGTQ anti-religion science open
everything no truth no meaning no
purpose and
Israel is a religious
democracy that if allowed to exist is a
Beacon of Hope to America could become
which is their worst nightmare so they
from the very beginning literally first
two
days everyone was kind of supportive of
Israel when Kamas was you know just
basically committing the worst terrorist
attack in the recent history and the
second that they got an excuse to fight
back I mean the second Israel retaliated
they went full out into anti-israel
because if they can destroy Israel they
can break down the concept of religious
democracy if they can break down the the
structure of religious democracy they
can make sure America doesn't revert to
becoming a religious democracy you know
the abortion law that was passed was a
huge um I mean it wasn't truth as in
within to abortion is a very complex so
yeah but it was a religious win um for
the kind of you know Republican side and
you know they've been going crazy to
break down religion tradition break down
American history rewrite American
history and basically just how do you
rewrite
history that's the same thing but you're
just rewriting it this gets back to
T if you believe worst is behind you and
that racism and American history is
founded on racism and everything's bad
just clean the Slate arase the past and
just start new there's no importance of
the past because there's no importance
of tradition because there's no
importance of religion because there's
nothing good behind us we're just moving
to something better and that's the whole
philosophy of postmodernism is that
nothing matters there is no truth so
live whatever life you want and that's
why they hate Israel because Israel is
the only country that is openly
explicitly religious that also is
founded on the principles of modern
Western society and Israel cannot exist
if America is to become what the left
the radical left wants America to become
so they're trying to tear down Israel
from the bottom which is you know
basically the funding behind all these
Ries and why
from literally day two of this
war everything that the left could do
they've done to make sure that they
equip everyone in the world with all the
data they need to be anti-israel so your
War isn't really with the people they're
just sheep right they're just basically
following whatever they're being told on
TV you're kind of really dealing with
like why are the people who are feeding
all this like why are they doing it and
that's why it's because it's really just
an ideological Battle of they are trying
to get the world away from truth and
religion they believe it's dogmatic and
close-minded and of the past and they're
not they're brilliant implementers of
their ideology because they don't openly
say what they believe they just
basically make it happen so they just
Implement their ideology on the
Practical kind of sheep front level
where they're not actually sharing their
ideology and most conservatives are not
philosophers right they're just kind of
you know simple people trying to keep
their way of life so they don't even
understand why this is happening like
you know talk about problems like Ben
doesn't talk about why the left does
what he does he just fights back he's a
brilliant data analyst even Jordan
peerson doesn't really you know have a
Torah understanding of life so he's just
dealing it from His Brilliant
perspective but there's no one on the
political Arena who's actually dealing
with the all left on the fundamental
Phil opical plan no one's talking about
this it's just you know we hate Israel
we love Israel we want transgenders we
don't want transgender no one talks
about the ideas no one talks about the
why no one goes to the roote so you just
have basically front battles and that's
you know how a political Arena has
always worked like there's no been
there's no open dialogue it's just crazy
so all the millions and really at this
point billions of sheep who are have
been so openly against Israel just
because they're being fed in narrative
and the real question is why are they
being fed in narrative and the answer is
because this is a fundamental
ideological battle about the future of
Western society and the people who do
not want religion in that discussion
really want Israel out of the
world okay gal okay let's go to closing

thank you to all the advertising sponsor
scoop AR F Central from JN we go to
first and then
to wrap it up and uh the Flo is
yours wow um yeah first of all thank you
so much for being here tonight and um it
was very deep a lot of
Concepts like you're saying we can sit
here and hours and hours discussing
it but it boils down
to you know the purpose for
life and the fight this is the fight
that we're here a lot of
talk um not basing things on you know
your self worth not based on others
understanding who you are that inner
chatter that we have to understand where
we are how we feel about ourselves and
like I mentioned this is this is so
important for any relationship to
understand what do I feel how do I
believe and I would love if everybody
would think the same way as me but when
they don't how do we we sit and talk how
do we discuss and know listen to their
point of view and talk about you know
you're you're a
teenager they have so much to say and
you're thinking to yourself no it's not
the way it's supposed first
listen what are you feeling when they
say certain things that you don't like
to understand their point of view
discuss it and the challenges you know
when you say it you know you want to
impose but they feel it they're not
going to take it you know they want
somebody to listen
if you can listen then eventually they
can hear
themselves and get to a place a safe
place where they can hear it and then
make
choices so yeah it is deep so thank you
so much and met we should be able to
take the concepts more practical you
know a lot of it is not so easy for
practicality to see where we can put it
in our day the the sh and to forgive
others even though sometimes they did it
looks like they did something wrong so
thank you very much and uh hopefully
it'll be a lot of with a lot of we
should be able to take what everybody
needs
in wrap it
up as Ash will say nice and quick so I I
wanna I want to end off by basically
saying that even though there's a
certain sadness to the fundamental
realization that it does seem like Theus
is fading I think there's a very
inspiring idea here which is at the root
basically all of Tor life and it's one
of the most powerful ideas that you can
have here as
the and many others explain everything
Hashem does every aspect of Torah always
has three
stages the first stage is is a gift it's
a reflection of what things could be
it's a recognition of the ultimate goal
the destiny of the truth but then you
lose that and the reason why it's taken
away and why you lose it is because
that's not real that's just given to you
as a gift the goal then is to rebuild it
yourself and once you rebuild it
yourself then you get to make it real
because then becomes an expression of
choice of Free Will of effort of
actually creating it and then you get to
that third stage where it's the same
thing as that first stage but this times
it's real because this time you actually
earned it you built it as R explains
that's the essence of of life it's why
you're not born perfect you're born as a
reflection of what you could be but then
you're born into this world imperfect so
the says you learn everything you're
supposed to achieve in life in the womb
and then the M hits you on the mouth the
angel hits you and you lose it so going
ask why like why why teach it in the
first place why lose it it says the same
idea because what you were taught in the
womb your purpose in life everything
you're supposed to become that was just
showing you the gift of what you're
supposed to become you lose it so you
into this world and build it yourself
the same with marriage why say built as
one the goal of marriage is not to be
perfect and be one it's to build that
Oneness so originally one and drous
being as rash explains and then they're
broken into two so they can come into
this world and rebuild that oness and
it's the same thing for everything for
it's we experience this
incredible in a certain sense it was a
gift it was incredible but we didn't
build it we experience it and it's
fading away but not because we're losing
it but because we were showing what
we're supposed to be creating and
achieving and and molding but again we
talked about this the exists we're
already one people one nation one family
we is but to build it to experience it
to understand it to make it manifest to
actually build the paradigmatic
structure so that when we walk through
the world we actually experience life
that way that takes a lifetime of nuance
and
development and it's really it's the
same thing we talk about
we have the same thing coming up with p
p p say was the time of open Miracles
time of mos the plagues and sping on the
sea M Torah gave us the Torah and it was
a miraculous time where there was no
there's prophecy we don't have that time
anymore no more miracles no more open
prophecy no more open revelation
of where it go so the V it's the same
principle explain that that was the the
first stage was the gift but now we live
in a second stage a stage of P there's
no longer open Miracles but we have to
find the open miracles of they reveal
that everything in life is the of
everything is miraculous you find within
everything and that's pardon there's no
open Miracle but when you see how you
put all the pieces together you start
seeing the Y within everything that's
why reaccept the because as K saying in
chabas that the initial Torah except the
Torah was forced why was it forced there
was no free will because how can you not
accept the Torah when hashem's openly
performing Miracles but by por where
there's no open Miracles we have to
choose to see they chose to accept
the that was
real and we live in a time where that's
really our choice it's not easy to live
a life of truth it's not easy to see
Hashem it's not easy to strive but it's
the greatest life
imaginable and that's what we talked
about you know giving up this life for
another life we talked about choosing
only this life over another life the
greatest truth is that you don't choose
one over the other it's by living a life
of Ms and devoting your life to
something infinite and building your In
This World by recognizing that the world
to come is nothing other than an
expression of everything you became in
this life that you live the ultimate
life in this world and the next world
it's not one or the other it's not even
both it's that they're so fundamentally
one as say when you're really living
that life you live a life ofh in this
world and the
goal is to
recognize that this stage of inspiration
is really just building a path to what
we now get to build together and living
a life of Ms is is not easy but it's so
worth
it
and I would say that the two most
important principles to recognize Is
that real is not samess it's Oneness and
Oneness is all those different colors
you
know all those different colors built
into a synthesized Oneness and you play
music it's not the same notes all those
notes splended and synthesized together
it's all the parts of clal synthesize
together it's synthesis it's marriage
it's not sness it's
Oneness and the real way to build
Oneness between two people like the best
way to do it if you want to really know
the Deep truth is to First build AAS
within
yourself which means synthesizing all
the different aspects of your character
spiritual intellectual emotional
physical all the different aspects of
your personality and emotion creativity
imagination all the different parts of
you and build real synthesis within
yourself really start building that
internal world and then you can expand
outwards and the first amazing
opportunity to build ideal is with the
spouse then you expand afterwards you
build an amazing
then you realize you're part of a
community and then you realize you're
part of a larger Community you're part
of Cl and you just keep on expanding and
you recognize that that hierarchical
structure of
synthesis it starts and ends with Hashem
hasem is the foundation of it all he's
the root of yourself but he's also the
ultimate Oneness that everything leads
towards and there's no greater journey
in life than going on that Journey it's
one of self-development of
