Hitting a Spiritual Plateau

and that's the saddest thing in the world when you see people that have the tools have the tools but don't know how to use them and unfortunately this is not just talking to the people that are secular this is not just talking to the people that are newly religious this is not just talking to them this is also talking to the religious ones Among Us the ones that think that they're already perfect and they don't necessarily need to change very much and sometimes even the ones that watch our shooting on a regular basis but have hit some type of neutral plateau and they stopped growing or even realizing that they need to grow stop reflecting but instead only focused on projecting they figured that everything that I see in the shoe has to do with the guy or the girl behind them maybe on the side maybe somebody else that's watching well for them it's pure entertainment intellectual stim simulation at best but the change to improve no no it's not for me I'm already doing the best that I can Rabbi and the saddest thing in the world is to see people spend so much time becoming the internet police the internet police I had to rebuke one of my students in a nice way today just literally telling them just a few words that I hope he got the message and I think he's smart enough to get it where you know every once in a while he sends me these messages oh this rabbi did this and that website wrote this and they're doing wrong here and they're wrong done I'm just thinking of myself I don't have time to read all of these messages I have hundreds and hundreds of messages and most of them are real problems and but of course you have some people send these messages and they figure that anything that's wrong out there just go bring it to me and I'll make all sure about it and have the headache still go along with it and really after I looked at this guy and I know that this guy learns to a lot he learned he's not a fool he's not a ignoramus he learns to a lot but then I see what's going on I looked at the last several messages and I started noticing at pattern here what's the pattern pattern is you're spending too much time on the internet that's the pattern you're you're spending too much time on the internet the internet is a place for you to go learn Torah don't spend any time any time whatsoever investigating the wicked people of the world and being the internet police and going on fighting campaigns with comments back and forth of who's heretic and who's not that is not going to help anyone especially you but unfortunately when a person forgets the purpose of why we're here in the first place they figured that you know what I'm already doing enough because some of the things that I mentioned in the shield again on where people that violate Shabbat and waste seed and they steal they don't they don't relate to me I don't violate Shabbat I don't waste it anymore about Hashem and I don't steal and I don't wear a wig so since none of this stuff relates to me perhaps I'm good enough perhaps I'm good enough so what happens they start coasting they start relaxing and they start falling without even realizing it literally going into a spiritual death without even realizing it and unfortunately many times when you want to measure people as far as where they stand spiritually just look at where academ or you see these people literally three four five seven years same exact thing they started they did a couple of big things but then after that I'm enough anytime you see yourself not growing and not fighting for growth you are declining it's not that you're the same you're declining because a Jew only goes up or down never stays the same and that's one of the things that we see from these sages no matter who they were whether it was the government or is anybody else that's out there when they talk Musa they're talking to themselves they're rebuking themselves and literally you see people that they're 80 years old full of full of but still fighting to get better still fighting to maintain everything still fighting to serve a kadoos to the fullest and that's what we see with this letter this letter about Hashem is one of those things where you could read it a million times and still go more get more insights from it same thing like all of the other letters that we've reviewed in the past or and always get something new [Music] foreign [Music] foreign
