worldwide by sponsoring a share or giving a generous donation call against your tara 718-851-8651 or five zero or 718-853-3950 tape center at yeshivanet.com so i would like to leave yashika to david weiss cpa for supporters tonight shared 718-871-8502 tonight we have the covert have with us once again noted speaker of ionitan riyadhi speak on the ultimate detox if poison can kill what can poisonous thoughts do might cover the corn will be ready for transgression good evening special thank you to rabbi bald for inviting me to share with you tonight and special thank you to everyone else who's involved in in this organization um i would like to um dedicate this evening to the refugee who's in a coma in london a close friend and a very big marbus terror and also uh to the mazel tove meaning good good muzzle to all the corona colors and uh who are doing their best to get married asap with all that's been happening i have to be honest with you i've made a complete switch in my own career from kira khaikhim to rick craven so i figured some some of you might get that so with all the social distancing and a world that is fast changing i thought it would be apropos to talk about a really important subject i think it might be the most important subject i may have even ever spoken about the ultimate detox if if poison can actually destroy a body a physical body what can poisonous thinking do to our minds so there are actually out of tariq mitzvahs there are many mitzvahs which are tally believe which depend on our thinking i'm not going to go into a listing of them now save kharadim list 67. 67. you're familiar with the six constant mitzvahs happens to be the other svarim including heredium add-on quite a few more some even have a listing up to 60. it's a very fascinating list that's a separate issue but the point is that there are many mitzvahs in the torah that tell me how to think what to think or what not to think and so we're going to look at how far reaching is where is my mind involved in poisoning myself god forbid literally because it's one thing to poison our body but is it possible i can destroy my own personality rahman al-islam by jealousy sinner anger arrogance huge resentment bearing a grudge grievances remembering other people's mistakes done against me so we have a very claudia sticker mitzvah of le taturu acharya so i'm going to share with you why i'm translating word laive as mind because that's actually what we're showing him tell us uh i'm going to share with you the exact macarons for that so if you don't mind i'm just going to translate it based on that don't follow your thoughts the word late means mind or thought leave hem your thoughts it's implural don't follow your thoughts and don't follow your eyes well who's whose thoughts am i supposed to follow you know i've i've only got my thoughts i don't have your thoughts whose thoughts am i supposed to follow and the very simple answer is das elokim hashem wants us to saturate our minds with enough of his mind the torah itself which is da salukim dasta if you want to call it so that when we look at the world we listen to the news we read newspapers or the or magazines we are not fooled by the glorification of in the magazines that are flaunting clothes food hotels vacations of all levels of luxury i hope i don't get in trouble for this so i'm going to do a quick experiment i'm going to share with you a very brief profile of three people and i'm gonna ask you who do you think is the better person i'm offering three people who do you think is the better person mr a was friends with corrupt politicians consulted astrologers married twice was a chain smoker drank alcohol in excess of between eight and ten times a day that's mr a mr b was kicked out of his office i don't mean his physical office actually out of politics not once but twice usually step slept till noon used opium in university drank whiskey every night third person c decorated as a war hero was a vegetarian did not smoke did not drink inspired tens of millions of people and never cheated on his wife now based on that information just be honest with yourselves who do you think is the better person a b or c just be honest because obviously you know probably this is it's not a trick question i'm just giving you this profile so let me tell you who a is a was franklin roosevelt b was winston churchill and c was adolf hitler is it possible that i can easily follow whatever information i'm given and not ask the most obvious question do i have enough information to make an intelligent decision do i have enough information to be able to say i have all that i need to know to judge you and we know that's not true it's never true in bastion that's different if two people come to basin and were not successful in making a bashara some sort of compromise and based in themselves in halacha are meant to first attempt to bring about some sort of compromise between the two opposing parties but if if that can't be accomplished now let's share whatever evidence information that's relevant to your two claims and then based in will make a decision but i'm not bastin i'm not a dying there's only one die in her ms there's only the rebonishland who really knows so i just shared with this with you because it's shocking why would i even come to i don't mean it as a trick question but why would i even allow myself to fall into the trap of thinking that because i've got four pieces of information on each person that i'm qualified at any level to decide who this person is and yamakshmi hitler is responsible according to many different counts approximately the deaths of fifty five zero million people rambam lists entire mitzvahs mitzvahs which poison the personality that's not his exact lotion but you look at hiluka's day as you'll realize i'm not really exaggerating there's reforestant fashion and when it comes to the reform of our soul our personality our mind he lists those mitzvahs out of taryak which destroy our personality guyver kaas kinna taiva lo tahmad lotit ave lotita nakama that's a big one these are very serious thoughts nakama a thought of revenge nitira la tito et panera mecca repeated thoughts of what you said or did that every time i remember i get upset hurt resentful angry bitter or hospital and revengeful and hashem went out of his way in his torah to give me a list of mitzvahs so that i can become aware of what i'm thinking all the money amidst us agree is one of tariyah don't trust your thoughts don't trust your eyes in truth you and i don't even see with our eyes we actually see with our mind i'm not going to go into that now but it's a fascinating subject when we realize that what i'm actually seeing is what my thoughts are telling me i'm seeing and because hashem through khazal have warned me many times this world is called alamha incredible deceit allamardimian it's an amazing illusion even even physicists will admit that the physical world is mostly an illusion scientifically speaking because if you take anything the most solid physical concrete item it could be a piece of granite or solid rock if you're asked scientifically speaking how much of that solid rock that granite is actually solid and how much of it is empty space so scientifically they'll tell you it's nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine percent empty space i'm talking about granite the amount of physical matter is zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero one the vast majority of the physical world i'm not going now into atoms and the nucleus the protons electrons but the vast majority of the physical world is actually empty space no one is called means a rock but it's a lotion about sire come on brachas i think round about darfur i think it says so don't read that there's no rock like hashem read that there's no sire no designer like hashem said moshe heinemann of baltimore brilliant insight what does it mean there's no designer like hashem so the gemara continues over there that if you have a painting and it's a really excellent painting and there's another painting right next to it what is the one distinguishing criteria that determines why one painting would be better than another one what might you argue is the one criteria that possibly most or all would agree would establish this painting is superior to the other one whichever looks more real painted such a brilliant olam hazel with a vast universe of on the latest count over a trillion galaxies containing on average a hundred to three hundred billion stars and this little planet earth is called islamic dim yearn it's so brilliantly painted it appears and we experience it as real but we're all living in a perfectly designed divine illusion because there's and then there's this and the moment our soul our mind departs from the body there's an entry into ulama ms and all of a sudden we have access to things that we never saw but our eyes saw but our only other sharma but we didn't see all the malachim that are created from our mitzvahs and other things that we do all the malachim that are created from people's thoughts that you and i don't see but are still very real much more real than the uh gosh me so khazal don't have one kind description of this world this is a dark world well the lighting seems pretty clear to me no the darkness is if i don't know what to think i'm actually going to fall into the trap of believing the media that the world is getting worse there's chaos there's confusion blaming accusations people who work hard and live an ethical life are looked down upon people who either don't work or are looking not to go to work are being promoted and victims are glorified it's incredible the whole world of psychology has gone in that direction let's glorify the victim women glorify the victim give him the inner strength help him to recognize that he has what he can do to heal himself it's and if i don't think what hashem wants me to think i could really believe this world is one big world of chaos and yet when we look at history his story we discover after adam blew it the next person who got hashem's attention so to speak nayak blew it all so he didn't darven to save the world and then you get to peric you'd all of going into your base and suddenly someone enters the map of the torah and steals all the attention of avinu sorry menu yitzhak yakov and that's only the focus hashem has and as the generations unfold mushrooms mission and as the generations unfold even with all the tragedies with all the tragedies hashem is still on schedule he's keeping all his promises will be thrown out of eric's world not once but twice 70 years in between we just have to look at the big picture it's so clear he's been with us all along you'll be thrown and scattered throughout the whole world parikh dallas and khafsan in partial space khan on coming up soon in a school near you we'll be scattered throughout the whole world will be will will remain few in numbers same same possible cuff zion finish bar you'll remain few in number we are still point two three percent less than two point three percent of the world population and and this is a promise given to us three thousand three hundred years ago who could know that except the bahrain hashem gave us promises of what will happen says the redac in order for us that in regardless we will see you never let go of us we're still here so let me share with you seifer kharadim tells us that one of tariyak mitzvahs rambam doesn't count it but it's it's he agrees it's a dear isa but not monotaria be careful of anything that's not right not good and tell us be careful not to think about available's during the day viability balila that hashem will bring a person to bittami by night so i've got to watch my eyes i've got to watch my thoughts um zion in dvarim is counted as one of hariyak says him the smug rashi tells us is a lotion of tim tum blockage lave unfortunately uh we follow the popular translation which is heart but the word lave throughout the machinima you'll see again and again i'll quote you a few of the examples actually means mind or thought it can sometimes be a metaphor like let like leave her young lady shamayim the vast majority of times vast majority it's more than nine out of ten it's more like 98 out of 100. it laid means mind or thought him you will cut off him the tim tom haley rashi tells us the blockage of the mind how do i block my mind well if i eat enough of the wrong foods i will ask hustle shalom line my arteries my capillaries with cholesterol and fat and that god forbid will block my veins and stop my body's metabolism being able to function properly shalom and rashi is helping us understand there's something called timtum ha leif where i block my mind from seeing the good in myself in other people in hashem's beautiful world and that leads to fear which many will claim is one of tariq mitzvahs lortira mayhem don't fear your enemies and that's going on in time of war but if you look at the various mafashion they'll tell you it's not only physical enemies there's much worse than the physical enemy the biggest enemy we have is my own yates sahara lortiro mahem don't be afraid of the yate sahara and the negative thoughts that he will bombard me with because i'm with you says hashem i can always let go of that fear tim to my life anxiety how can anxiety and amunah co-exist and the answer is they can't i could oscillate between the two one moment i'm anxious and i say bro hashem comes it will pass but then i fall back into anxiety beautiful story from the tasha rebbe sadiq emma sadiq on one occasion there was a gentleman who was pouring out his heart that he has a an upcoming court case that could land him in jail for decades and decades very serious and he said the language i am very worried natasha rabbit looked up like very abruptly and said worry worry should never last more than a second meaning the moment i cup what i'm thinking don't believe that there are any other powers besides me so you could actually have a towering personality such as rabbi rabashkin who throughout his years in incarceration where's his mind his body is imprisoned where was his mind emunah rabbi penny lip ships lipsticks a neighbor of mine from uh in monty now moved to lakewood he's the uh editor chief of yachthead he was in touch with him every single week every friday and he would tell me he got so much his hook from this person because this person's body is in prison but that's not where he really was you and i are never where our body is we are always where our mind is so let me share with you the redak so rishon he tells us in safe harassing that the word arla is losing miutar extra now arla means extra thoughts you see i brought this over here so just pretend it's a huge huge sack filled with rocks and each rock is a concern worry fear anxiety thought of jealousy resentment i've got a lot of those and in some cases real revenge i'm so bitter and angry that i start to really carry this around wherever i it's really heavy now if you see me walking the streets brooklyn muncie in the car i'm holding this what will you say to me really what's the matter with you let go let go you don't have to carry it everywhere and even if i do oh wow oh my gosh i can't believe how light it is i'm gonna function a lot better without that but guess what if i suddenly pick it up again and carry on it doesn't matter do you know why because how far am i ever away from letting go of this incredible load on my mind stress anger resentment worry revenge like i'm cautious i'm out of work i'm gonna have any income for months how am i supposed to continue i can't take it and this is too much for me to carry and what's the too much a burden that i'm always one thought away from dropping and even if i wake up and i've barely finished my da'ani and i start thinking about my burden and start carrying it to the bathroom office doing neglect how far am i away from dropping that burden the mitzvah of the munna is one thought the mitzvah of lo taturu is a thought the midst of it is a thought and hashem is telling me what not to think don't go there it's a burden but it's not just poisoning my mind and my body which we're going to see in a few moments through rambam and a number of interesting hazals on this subject but the worst part of it is i'm only here for 120 years max and when i leave this world the only thing i take with me is not my body not my home not my car not my family nothing only hasegul nichna what was ikaina what did i acquire of my own effort over here lots of mitzvahs are manifestation of what we're thinking kindness visiting the sick giving to the poor i can't even take my socks thank you for sucking it to me yeah there's nothing i can take with me maybe the shrouds so let me share with you what the redact is saying um many count this is one of tariyak everyone agrees it's it's it's a dare riser but is it included in tariq it's not much of an enough camino really but i'm just bringing out there are many administers amongst the roshanim who tell me to cut off the thinking that is burdening me miuta it's overthinking over analyzing as opposed to another mitzvah not in rambam but radium ramban sparks mark all agreed to be a term with hashem look at rashi don't speculate what's going to be because you and i don't know what's going to be none of us do anymore we're slowly gradually getting the message nobody knows if we're going to get on that plane nobody knows when the store will open up sun things yeah looks like it's back to normal but in the in the rest of the world there's a lot of things are not yet functioning we want to say yet so we don't know says rashi don't speculate the future so what should i do ella mccabell rather accept everything that happens to you but mimut and if i do yeah i'll be with hashem that's that's an interesting thought oh so tamimus means let go of worry anxiety i don't know what's going to be tomorrow i have no clue what's going to be the rest of today so let me share with you what we're showing him to say about the word live and please please be mocking me i don't mean this as a denigration it's just a simple observation a translation by definition is suspicious it is suspicious those are not my words because i'll say so it's imperative i think it's in massachusetts they say of our own khazal saying about ourselves that when we were forced to translate avatara into greek that day was only matched in tragedy with the haita eagle the golden calf now that sounds like an exaggeration you think about it what what why would you why would you equate the two the golden cloth was it was a vodasara that's idle worship and the frightening answer is what hazalah telling us is that any translation by definition people reading it think they're reading god's words the rabbi shalom wrote the torah in los angeles there's another word that we've unfortunately translated according to someone else's religion kaidesh does not mean holy it's a very good translation but not accurate at all i'll tell you why because qazal tell us what kurdish means move dull so it doesn't mean just different move down means completely separated muff rush totally apart you look at any word with the word kaidesh either when it's a noun or whether it's used as an adjective and you'll see the consistency sharpest kodesh is not a different day of the week it's completely unique i'm a kardash you're not just another nation that's different you're completely different you're the only nation that's what kardash means what do you mean only there's 193 countries in the how do you say we're the only nation because we are the only people [Music] totally separate hakila kardash please don't look at the translation it says holy god l means power kadush means unique one of a kind hakela kardosh correctly translates as the only power so comes along the word life i hope you don't mind if i quote rashonim and eben ezra and uh achroinim and rely on them as opposed to popular translations i hope no one would call me an apocalypse or or said i'm going against the masara you're i'm are you okay with that okay fine so it comes along the passage and you shall love [Music] comes along ramban and ebon ezra they say three words the word live means mind rashi is quoting the mishna vishnayit sareka the holy refers to the two yaters the yatataiv and the yate sahara that's the last mission in barakas pariktas mishnahi if you want to go into more detail the kute miranda in terra mem test in the first helix tells us when hashem created man the language that we are dying that from we extrapolate it from is because hashem used the language of two years so it's a misspelling there's no misspellings in the torah it's deliberate and the two youths tell me that there's two yetis in the man he hates to tell everybody sahara so he points out over there yet so now you have it right there yet sahara does not mean evil inclination it's not a terrible translation but it's definitely not accurate and it's not consulting what al ghazal tell us the words mean it's referring to what i'm thinking when i'm thinking umuna being done being basement um looking at the good in my wife in my children in myself in others uh getting looking for a bashara trying to ignore not a kind an unkind comment made to me and don't go into nathira don't go into nakama don't go into cast don't go into arrogance oh that is what hashem is asking me to be aware of and that's the schneitzer what am i thinking good or not good says the word leif is a substitute word like a synonym skelet for the mind which is constantly thinking seiko is lotion scale shekel comes from the same word cycle your mind is measuring all the time every waking second of your life your mind is measuring everything that's happening to you everything that you're experiencing everything you're seeing and hearing your mind is constantly measuring its value should i go to sleep now shall i think about the vacation i haven't had yet or should i pay attention is this relevant where is it going your mind is constantly weighing shikhal hadas back and forth back and forth we're constantly doing that a little out of sight as in weighing the hands above a frying menasha the lathe is where your mind is weighing things up and he quotes from michelle perry could test possible quests when you acquire leif it's as though it's really saying that you're kinda you're you're acquiring your own mind let me share with you a little bit further rabbi victor miller who went to town on this many many times he said he says in his safer level the value the importance of the mind of a human being and he starts off ikashima the main guarding we need the main protection we need is on our mind kosov he quotes mislead from every type of guarding you got to guard your life because from your mind will come out the product of khayim haim unfortunately we translate according to someone else's religion but haim you all know isla and yahida rabim it's losh and rabbim so actually means lives crime always refers to what we're doing in this world in preparation for the real world oh so what we're thinking toitso's time is going to lead to the production of what will come out in both this world and in the next and it's all in the lathe the mind now come that was the possum by victor miller quotes right at the beginning of a safer and now he says his own words he nay behold he needs a special lotion throughout tanakh it means pay extra attention hine lathe balasana kaidesh the word laive in la sila kaijus this unique language it's not it's not a holy tongue it's the only tongue it's the only language okay there are thousands of dialects today nearly six thousand however there's only one language which created reality basarama is you spoke and then reality existed oh so comes along rabbi victor miller kadesh in this unique language the word levine beloved slaves it's referring to the power of thought and feeling i'm not going to go into in much detail right now but you gotta listen to very this is very very important what i'm about to say is so ridiculously simple it might go right over my head you will not find anywhere in the entire tanakh a word for emotion rickshaw color parrot-based possible aleph in talim rikshu regesh which in modern hebrew and even in in rabbinic hebrew you'll find regis refers to feelings or emotions there's no word for motion in tanakh why not because it doesn't really exist it's because rickshaw by the way means a gathering of a large number of people so sometimes the excitement you have from lots of people that met life stadium and a big serum you might get excited but there's no word for emotion you've got lots of words for different totsaras for example anger might be something i feel very strongly or resentment or or nakama or jealousy but actually it's not an emotion it's born over here so the word lay first means mind and here's the the bottom line 100 not 99 100 of everything we feel is what we're thinking no exceptions the moment i divorce the two that's what allows me to blame you for making me mad upset hurting my feelings the moment i divorce feelings from what i'm thinking that's when i think the world is crazy and this is this is such a ridiculously simple thing that hashem is trying to help me understand again and again and again the word live ultimately really means mind and the fact that we talk about our feelings and our emotions is because it's so obvious but i don't pay attention because it's so obvious like i don't pay attention to air because it's everywhere all the time so i don't pay attention to what i'm thinking and feeling and realizing that the two are the same it's impossible to feel anything without thinking it try try feeling angry without thinking angry it's impossible because the true source of my anger is never you hurt my feelings by what you said or did is what i'm thinking otherwise it would be impossible for someone of the stature of anyone in the torah let's say a darwinian who's cursed by shimmy benga who's only the of bastion oh my gosh head of saying i said hedren you're going to take his word seriously and he gives a claw and him red says a horrific glala and what's david malek's response who's who put those words in his mind in his in his mouth hakkar sparkles i'm going to fight hashem then surya leave him leave him alone it's okay i can handle it you see if it's really you're hurting me now i can fall into the trap of anger resentment after all i've done for you that's how you treat me and i get i blew up you thought i was just acting right okay i practice at home before i come here comes along a karish barku and gives me a mitzvah of le tita don't remember other people's crimes against you gemara yuma ahmad alif right at the top tells us what is lotita so rashi says it straight out what does rashi say nitira dava shamur belibai the item that i've gotten a tear for i've got a grievance i remember what you said or did against me shamu believer that's what the word always means and he doesn't get it out of his mind instead he carries it with him wherever he goes and i'm stuck carrying all sorts of grievances anger resentment and boy do i have a good memory i will never forget what you said i'll never forget what your mother said to me well i'll never forget how you dad tweeted me and go on and on and on and a bunch of them is asking me to be messy let go because it's a thought so how long is the life of a thought so let me share with you robert don't make an image with me so it comes along hazal and they're they are medium a human being from any any material whether it's metal hemma eights or word evan or a stone they are feeling even if you're only doing it for decorative purposes don't make me what does that mean do not make any reflection i said surah of that surah the hainu goof adam shikata don't make anything that's the surah of the human being that i wrote about in my torah when i said not adam salmanu let us make man in our image so what do you mean don't make an image of me and in the turret empirical paragraph puzzle coffee nissa over here it's saying adam we're talking about the cycle that hashem put in man um and the word bitsalmanu in our image that's referring to the circle inside a human being that's jonathan we'll see in a few moments hashem himself has no image he's got no physical and manifestation he's kuloi cycle and that's what he put in us that's what the helix is in us on that same passage adam bitsalmeinu and the word salmeinu this is the intrinsic mind that is eternal nobody can put a bullet through your mind the brain yes but not our mind that is your cycle and that's nitsky that's your neshama no one can tear up in the sharma i can hurt myself badly not just physically but i can arrive in shemin and the sacher nickna is not very well acquired because i'm coming up with so many complaints and blaming and accusations and denials and excuses and anger and resentment and unresolved conflicts in my life so comes along hashem and tells me i made you in my image for you to develop your mind which isn't it's just it will last forever this the beer on the sephorano in the oisfahada edition this means to say hashem gave man a shama a soul it's the mind that is it is a sacral which is spiritual it's not physical it can never get damaged at all uh uh called me like anything else it would be a david gash me it's the power of the mind to discern your ability circle rabbis apostles we say every day from michelle peregrites pastor kaphalov rabba there are many thoughts believe ish in the mind of a human being but guess what hashem has already decided the outcome so even though khazal identified there it goes on haman he had a lot of thoughts of how to destroy us hashem promised he'll never be mayfa he'll never cancel his promise that we are an eternal nation of shalom thought he'll get rid of his father and take over the kingdom and hashem said of shalom is already going to be makuyam so there's no way you're going to steal the dynasty from your father david and the same was said of adonai yahoo later on in david's life right at the end when he observed his authority hashem has already promised there's going to be a kibbutz there's going to be mashiach and by srishi and his amazing that's what he wants me to be focused on not to live in worry not to live in fear not to live in anxiety so there's no word in the torah for emotion you've got words like simcha which is a toitsa but the simra is is not over here says in parikh um [Music] you've already gifted happiness in my mind you've given me reasons to be happy that was his default that was his baseline so no matter what happened to him outside in the inside out thinking was i've already already have every reason to be happy safra radim counts listing the kindnesses that hashem has done for the jewish people from israeli until today and he includes we should also count the kindness hashem has done for us from the moment of conception gentlemen ladies how many of you were conceived and the answer is everyone okay fine well guess what the chances of being conceived is one in many millions you just won the mega lottery how many of you your mother didn't have an abortion with you everyone oh you you just won another lottery how many of you were still born none of you it's in that it happens miscarriage none of us we're all here we only we haven't got to birth yet and we're all ready we've won three four mega lotteries you were born [Music] healthy wow and here's the biggie this is super big born jewish omg you're less than 0.23 you're less than a quarter of a percent of the world population you're born a jew according to ramban and say for kharadim the midst of berkelet is media isa abu ghadou it's a it's a one of the atari mitzvahs and because of that i think it's in memphis in sim and member in the mahabharata has an unusual lotion he says you've got to say this with um you got to be careful um you've got to be very careful of us uh zahu was rubber i can't remember the exact right there in memphis if he wants to pull it out and uh tell me soon comes along mr brewer on those words and says what's it mean that was the lesson of the makhaba be exceedingly careful with this bracha says mr bro what's the zahiro's kadaila that you have to be careful for he says to say basim khan kadaila to say with enormous happiness because of the three parts of the bracha is that we were selected from all the other nations you're born a jew born from oh my gosh you became from on your own wow you converted to judaism on your own what am i that's amazing oh you put on filling that's knit kiss oh you put on scissors today oh my god you kept sharpest you kept they didn't do any malaysia's past shabbos that you're aware of you know what's really interesting there's not one of all the main events say for uranium doesn't count simcha as one tariyak nor does rambam not as safe him nor does smug nor the smug none of them rebain shalolum i would have thought to be happy it should be it should be one of them so i'm going to ask ask you if someone gave you a trillion dollars you're made for life and you can you can take care of all the in throughout the whole world full life you'll never run out of money does the person who gave you a trillion dollars have to say um by the way could you also be happy are you under my how could i not be happy i mean i've got to be commanded to be happy you just gave me a trillion dollars you got to tell me to be happy you just gave me nithyas one hero of teshuva is worth coming into this world for sworn bring they all the assuring of eif is not equal to one flame in gehenna all the assaulted the suffering and one here of teshuva is worth going into this world with all the mistakes we could possibly make one hero of teshuva will pull us out of gehenom after 12 months and we're got nitzkiss for ever forever is a long time what am i thinking where's my mind simcha says about shema kardash is the isis i see us the letters there is the mind says the word the state of being happy is the exact same letters mark because where does happiness take place it's in thought how far am i away from a happy thought and the answer is i'm one thought away from letting go of whatever other thoughts are messing me up so let me share with you from the stipela this is brought word for word from the stipela from one way rebain rabbi yarkov greenworld of blessed memory passed away a few months ago rebearch of greenwald wrote a safer with the stipela are called aces of hard rockers phenomenal phenomenal safer and he writes there of many different cases of of complicated minds that would come his way um amongst bachrim and married people i'm going to quote you the teshuva that the stipe lagaan of blessed memory wrote to rabbiak of greenwald um in response to the question what do i do with an avrec who's filled with thoughts of avodah zara and huhuri [Music] and worries and he wrote the following he wrote the following tennis the way the mind works you your mind is a gift to you and it works like this ability to hire us that are not taha all thoughts are not tara shall understand of the person that you're describing ain't behemoth gotta understand this your thoughts have no substance there's no life force the moment you realize that where am i suffering this anxiety where am i having these thoughts about those nashem where am i thinking taiwas mama taivo sakhila taivus whatever jealousy hatred sinner where is that taking place oh over here the moment i realize it's not your house that makes me jealous how did your house get inside how does your car get inside my brain it's impossible it's my thinking about your house anything that doesn't belong to me doesn't belong to me and i'm training every day in the right thinking call sarki you hashem have already it's in past tense you've already given me every thing i need said no matter what i go through that might pull me down my baseline is na sata simra villipi it's lushen ava you already gave me so many reasons to be happy i'm a trillionaire just by being born a from joe staying from in today's age wow no wonder hazard said let me kind of like money but i don't want to see him they were worried what are they worried for covet what are they worried about what about terrorist attacks they were worried about much worse than that they were worried that they might let the media poison their minds i find it fascinating i'm sure it's that the word media is two words in los angeles whose opinion what am i doing what am i doing opening up magazines and i don't know who pliny is is giving me idea on kovid on the politics on the future of america um reika what what am i doing filling my mind with whose opinions media whose opinion is it the same time i could be learning apostle king michele which fills our mind with darce elokim oh comes along the stipela and he says vinitbari it is oh sorry um in bahimash there's the thoughts have no substance no life force and therefore it happens to be the nature of people who are easily full but he's saying it has no substance once you know it has no something i don't have to take my thoughts so seriously hashem's asked me tattoo don't follow your thoughts he said she said so-and-so said and now i'm following it and i'm creating a whole story and bringing lots and lots of evidence for why my thoughts are real and hashem's telling me let go and how do i know they're the wrong thoughts well if i'm experiencing sinner natira resentment grievance even thoughts of nakamura so sweet the commerce so sweet revenge so sweet says akarisba who let go now if if dr fraud was here i'm sorry um dr freud if that was his real name but he changed it when people were uh saw right through and realized he was just an imran um so if dr freud was here i think he would have a big problem with what we're saying he would say something like this rebecca revenge with all due respect you know you put this pasta over here in in particular uh and right after that you then say loitikaim don't have revenge now sinner is a very deep rooted thing you know you can't just just take it out revenge is very deep rooted then you write lo tito don't have resentment look look what you wrote next the hafta the reaction so i think dr fraud would say something like this you know what with all due respect i really think if you don't mind could you tell mr beno to rewrite this and put um put don't hate or take revenge or have uh resentment put like that near at the beginning of gracious and then put after kameka like near the end of devarim and give my clients some room and space to recover how do you put in the same passage and the emotional item says fraud dr fraud just look at the last two words in the past finish the puzzle ani hashem who says that you can do this i do do you know why because i designed your mind you're seikle you're your nasharma can only contain one thought out of thought you can't have two thoughts at the same time even in the physical world there's no such thing as two items contained in the exact same space it's impossible as small as the atom is it's it has its own space and the mind is exactly the same and that's what the stifler says next he says because i still live now to villains oh that's something else it's very good but i'm going to leave it the al etzema yasim laiv rak livakesh when a person is worried about what they're thinking they should simply say rabin salayalam hatsulaini nam and makshaba sabotazara save me from these thoughts of avodahzara or the other thoughts that a person is having so i'll go straight to the next piece there are eights also the only acer for someone who is tortured by their thoughts whether it's typhus whether it's worry whether it's anxiety and please forgive me it's not prozac let go of the entire topic stop thinking zeiss omares this means to say don't make a guns a war villain don't make a whole strategy of getting rid of these thoughts about marmish has no substance no life force it's just thought in the moment on the country when i make a whole battle out of it and don't be messed up don't ignore it guess what happens it comes back with bigger force and i'm thinking about it more and more and more it gives an example of me going like this when i'm trying to get rid of those thoughts what it's doing i'm actually giving recognition to it by fighting it but how do i just drop those thoughts the zeiss says he says the following it's impossible for the mind it's impossible to have two thoughts at the same time this is still a stipela listen carefully because it's extremely simple if i don't hold on to the first thought anger nakamura revenge natira resentment if i don't assect and you are deliberately not holding on to the thinking of what's driving you crazy as kaherif i am like the blink of an eye now let me see it will just disappear do you know why the lightsaber because another thought is going to come your mind is always thinking but i don't have to follow the thought and keep feeding it and feeding it and worrying and things how can i and i gotta go and water the weeds and tell my friends and tell my people who are trying to help me and water the weeds and talk about it more and water the weeds and hashem's telling me let go i'm making it sound simple because that's how it's it's it's literally written here let go there's much more to say on this i'm going to close on a couple of metaphors i want to i want to share with the rum bum um please be much more i went over time he actually lists as items that increase body strength his control of anger and nurturing happiness he then lists items which diminish body strength this you'll find in in the prius in chapter 18. he says there severe emotional strain stress anxiety he adds that constant anxiety causes disillusion of body fat and loss of muscle substance we know that from ur at some skinner that jealousy literally eats away at the bones and ribenu yana on that i think it's imperative i think it is in michelle he says that the body fat dissolves from stress specifically jealousy but he says all middles rise and he says kinna is an indian of caste my anger is a stressor my arrogance is a stressor why aren't you as good as me i'm better than you and i beat myself up to the point where he says here's a rum bum again severe emotional strain anger constant desire for women lust for money lust for political power recurring thoughts that give a person no peace and jealousy this is rambam in three ties number seven paragraph one through four of his medical writings where he's basically saying these emotions are really thoughts that i am destroying my mind and my personality that gives me no rest and i can't sleep properly i close and i i really do mean it imagine uh you go somewhere and a guy and you're not wearing a mask i'm just imagining it okay just imagine you're not wearing a mask and you're sitting in i don't know an office somewhere maybe a doctor's office in the waiting room and a guy comes over who's got pneumonia and he goes into every single person's face now what are you gonna say what are you gonna say in today's age what are you gonna say arrest the guy his man is killing us all we wouldn't tolerate it do you agree why would i let myself do that to me inside my mind where i'm actually poisoning my own personality with my anger thoughts with my jealousy thoughts with my resentment thoughts with my the tira and the common thoughts we are all born with the exact same dna you cannot have two thoughts at the same time which means you're always one thought away always from the next thought it's just like windshield windshield wipers in your car they're always on when you turn them on which means you've got windshield wipers inside your mind that when people throw up their dirt from their car in front of you onto the mind of your screen the screen of your mind with their insults with their anger with their jealousy whatever it is you've got internal windscreen wipers we'll wipe it away wipe it away i just have to turn them on but actually you don't they're always on your windscreen wipers are always on in the source of knowing that we're entering the most difficult time of our calendar oh here's where we suffer or replace it with the reasons to be happy thank you god for making me a jew for helping me be from for learning your terror for doing your mitzvahs that is the ultimate simchas crime in the source of that which will be zaika to detox our mind in time for 120 years on maine
