Transcript
- 0:02Two causes, the Bashar I want to speak about like I said, I don't
- 0:05know if there'll be any new classes, but the big themes
- 0:08first of all is that Al Pasha opens up where we holding Miuda
- 0:15is about to respond to yourself, yourself, the vice of Egypt's
- 0:18holding on to me. I mean now and threatening to
- 0:21hold up me. I mean, they have his brother,
- 0:23the one whom yourself promised to defend.
- 0:28And now you're safe is ready to hold him.
- 0:31And you doubt my gosh, alive. You know you doubt approaches
- 0:34him. Interesting point.
- 0:37Some rabbits explain What does it mean?
- 0:38He approached him as you doubt was saying and all alone.
- 0:42I'll kill you. Yeah.
- 0:43So he started to train. I said I'll kill you.
- 0:45Then that says I'm going to fight you of a king of a king to
- 0:48all those things. But they say that part of the
- 0:51you would do some reason they weren't connecting the whole
- 0:52time you're 7 asking questions that don't make sense.
- 0:55He's making allegations that don't fit and so I saw one shot
- 0:59saying, well, you got every day you die approach from saying if
- 1:02you're using an interpreter the whole time, officially yourself
- 1:05is an Egyptian. Because of that, he speaks only
- 1:08Egyptian and they I every speak only Hebrew.
- 1:13So yourself say you die said a guy comes close.
- 1:17I want to talk into your ears what that means.
- 1:19Clearly it is getting rid of the interpreter, or at least he's
- 1:22trying to get his words into his ear.
- 1:23Another would say, let's get rid of the middle man.
- 1:26Let me talk straight to you. So you say that's funny.
- 1:27If you were talking a different language, he doesn't understand,
- 1:30how effective can your speech be, right?
- 1:33So the answer is a Udah's whole speech.
- 1:36One of his greatest strengths in his speech was emotion.
- 1:39It was all about the emotion that was on display.
- 1:41He may not have even made so much officially sensitive ice or
- 1:44of Egypt, because officially this man standing in front of
- 1:46you doesn't know your language. But Udah was putting on display.
- 1:50He didn't say anything about his words.
- 1:52He'd say anything new. He'd say any new facts he was
- 1:55creative in the way he's displayed it in his speech to
- 1:58yourself. But more importantly, possibly
- 2:00it was emotion and yourself witnessed that emotion for the
- 2:03first time and he sees a brother Carrie.
- 2:06I'd be so emotional when his younger brother and I made
- 2:09yourself crack. OK, that's one point.
- 2:12The other point I want to pass it.
- 2:13So now they finally you know the yourself reveals the truth He
- 2:18tells about yourself. I want to be highest the moment
- 2:20I am yourself. He tells them before he does so
- 2:24the Pasuk says he's not able to handle it anymore.
- 2:28What's the exact structure? Up until this point, the
- 2:31brothers are coming to Egypt. They came in.
- 2:34Yosem made allegations against that.
- 2:36There's spice, right? He she likes spice.
- 2:39She's putting himself in jail. He's threatening them.
- 2:42And now they're coming to him into the begging.
- 2:44And Yosef says pasuk says Yosef can't handle it.
- 2:48So he clears the room of home. He clears the room of the home
- 2:52of science, all Egyptians out him alone with his brothers.
- 2:58Why is it significant significant because his brothers
- 3:02were strong men. Now you guys should love you Da
- 3:05according to many means you da approach yourself.
- 3:07My favorite supposed to be spies originally right, exactly
- 3:10they're definitely big time people.
- 3:12They're they approach yourself according to many.
- 3:15They approach you to motion. They approach you to speech, but
- 3:19he also approach as of adage says ready to fight.
- 3:23If this doesn't go well, I will fight and I yourself clears the
- 3:26room out. So for that smooth second or he
- 3:29clears out the room before he reveals who he is.
- 3:32It can easily attack and then he says low tov yourself didn't do
- 3:36in a certain sense the right thing.
- 3:38He did a dangerous thing. So what do you do?
- 3:40Why did he clear the room out? Won against that, but against
- 3:44that they're clearly upset. They're in a defense mode.
- 3:47What he cleared through the reason he did so because he was
- 3:51conscious of their Bouchard. Madar says he didn't want them
- 3:55to be embarrassed as he reveals the truth.
- 3:57He could argue there's also Bouchard for him because if he
- 4:01reveals the truth that he was sold as a slave by his brothers,
- 4:05he'll take down his stature in Egypt.
- 4:06But that's not what Madar says. She quotes it.
- 4:09He cleared them out because he didn't want them to be
- 4:12embarrassed. So it's incredible point here
- 4:14they are sold them into slavery, attempted to kill him, put him
- 4:19into a pit with wild animals, right.
- 4:21He don't want to embarrass them. And you see, it sounds like I'm
- 4:24telling you, you see from yourself language.
- 4:27He is on a different level. This whole approach and the
- 4:29words that he says empty reveals himself to his brothers.
- 4:32He continues and says he says I'm just said your brother and
- 4:37that follows to a live classic point.
- 4:39And then he says and back away. Hello, come close.
- 4:44He says, come close because I am yourself.
- 4:48Ah, he him, your brother. The first time he says I need
- 4:51yourself, I have myself the second time I have yourself,
- 4:53your brother, he's bringing them in drawing them in right.
- 4:57You sold me, but it wasn't really you who sold me.
- 5:00God sent me ahead of this road so that I can be here to help
- 5:04our families survive. Such a mindset is not you way.
- 5:08There's a mindset is a different level.
- 5:10Don't blame me on yourself. Don't blame on yourself.
- 5:12Now did you want them to have regret?
- 5:14You see, for the process he did, but at the same time, once they
- 5:18displayed full regret, he didn't want it to sit.
- 5:21He didn't want it to be the guilt the rest of their lives.
- 5:23He didn't want to harp on it and instead he showed the restraint.
- 5:27So that's that's the same thread and mindset as a man who's
- 5:31willing to clear out the room. He doesn't want his brothers to
- 5:33be in a bad state. All right, as to confirm this
- 5:36point that this I might say one of his speeches, that's who says
- 5:43that he sentenced to his father Aguilot Aguilon means wagons and
- 5:48it's clipping classic messages. You know, Samp is telling his
- 5:52father through those wagons. All right, different messages
- 5:56telling his father. We used to learn something,
- 5:57different ideas, but one of them the Maharami process and they
- 6:01were telling his father, you see these wagons, they carry loads
- 6:07the same way it's only a wagon carries a load.
- 6:12My brothers who sold me into slavery in my perspective,
- 6:17according to my view, they were nothing more than wagons carry
- 6:23Hashem's delivery. They were suddenly made to
- 6:26slavery. It seems so, but really what
- 6:28they were doing was is that they were carrying out God's wish.
- 6:31That's how I see it. In other words, he's telling us
- 6:33Valia Quavido, I am at full peace of the situation.
- 6:36I don't hold harbor any grudge against my brothers.
- 6:39There is shallow here because I recognize that although they did
- 6:43what they did, I know it was taking away their free will.
- 6:45I know it was taking away their mistake.
- 6:47I know it was taking away their minds.
- 6:48At the time I thought ultimately my perspective doesn't need to
- 6:53be one that is harboring ill will forever because ultimately
- 6:57all that does is hurt me doesn't hurt them.
- 6:59So you know, Sam is telling his father, my brothers all like
- 7:02whites, they're carrying alone. That's all they did their whole
- 7:05life. They carry the delivery of God
- 7:07and they send me the situation on according to Hashem's message
- 7:12and that's why I'm here today. I don't see this as a negative.
- 7:14I see this as a positive. So I said OK, fine yourself is
- 7:19removing the guilt from his brothers, but then they're
- 7:21saying you won't even one step further.
- 7:23He said these words you sent me here for survival, which
- 7:30literally meets I came here first.
- 7:32I took over the Fuji. They threw him in a pit with
- 7:35nothing, no food, no nothing. He look at the overall picture.
- 7:37You're right, team. He's looking at the outcome,
- 7:39he's working. I'll come back where he's saying
- 7:41from the outcome I perceive, and you set me here for the sake of
- 7:45survival. That was not your plan.
- 7:47I fooled myself, but it was God's plea.
- 7:50But the beauty of this message is not only did he mean physical
- 7:54survival, he also meant spiritual survival.
- 7:58The only reason obviously I'll survive in Egypt at all was
- 8:02because USF got there first and he set up shop.
- 8:05He set up shop because my brothers came down, he put them
- 8:08in Gaussian, he put them in a separate area.
- 8:11He established certain character and culture of the Jewish people
- 8:15that would never budget any of the things that not changing
- 8:18your language or your name in these things.
- 8:20He's the one who started that quintically a car.
- 8:21So he established certain norms that became our norms to live by
- 8:27in Egypt. So now only is he telling his
- 8:29brother, you guys sent me here, it was our survival physically.
- 8:33You guys sent me here. It was our survival spiritually,
- 8:36in my perspective, you didn't hurt me, you helped us.
- 8:40And then the Besat Ahmed goes one step further.
- 8:43Where did you save merit to become king?
- 8:46Where did you merit to get this position of bracha in the world?
- 8:51What's the one story that was most impressive story of his
- 8:53life? According to the Madonna,
- 8:54slicing Bradishah, the wife of Pontifar, facing off and
- 8:59handling the challenge of the wife of Pontifar was the source
- 9:04of his merit to become king. Now obviously he had the dreams
- 9:08and obviously he was destined for Pryor, but he needed to go
- 9:11through that step according to Avidash, you know, to merit the
- 9:13purity, to display the body who's willing to hold back.
- 9:17And with that he became king. So it turns out, if you look at
- 9:21an assert wild view, his brothers sent him from physical
- 9:25survival. His brothers sent him for the
- 9:28Jewish people's spiritual survival and they sent him, as
- 9:31it turns out, obviously not their plan, but the outcome.
- 9:34They sent him for his own development because your sand
- 9:37became your sin through the process, not despite the
- 9:41process, based on the process. That is not a credit to his
- 9:44brothers. And he's not saying that, but he
- 9:46is saying I am clean. I'm clear.
- 9:49I bear no grudge. I am running against you because
- 9:52I can see that Shep was involved in this picture.
- 9:55And what that does for us is it tells all of us, many people,
- 9:59all of us, many people slide us. Many people say the wrong thing.
- 10:03If you have the degree of light, try to kill you.
- 10:06Exactly try to kill. By the way, if you have the
- 10:09degree of strength, even a little bit, the more strength
- 10:12you have to handle it, the better off you are, not the
- 10:16better off the reaction is going to be to them.
- 10:18The better off you are, the freer you are.
- 10:20The more of a king you become, the more effective you become,
- 10:23and the happier your life is. Or you say yourself as a king.
- 10:28Maybe he was a ruler of Egypt, but at its core and meets you as
- 10:32a bushel, he was a ruler of himself.
- 10:35He was in full control of his emotions.
- 10:37I believe humbly that someone who gets insulted every 5
- 10:41minutes, someone gets to do a fight every day, someone who
- 10:44gets turned off by this and turned up by that, you know what
- 10:46he is? He's a slave.
- 10:48He's a slave to his emotions. And someone who doesn't allow
- 10:51other people to affect him, who figures out ways to remain the
- 10:55same, to remain steadfast, to remain in full control.
- 10:59He is king. Because I'm in complete control.
- 11:02No one can make me much. They can try to kill me, they
- 11:04can throw me into a pint, they can sell me.
- 11:07They can ruin the last 20 years, technically separate him from
- 11:10his father for 20 years. Doesn't matter.
- 11:12At the end of the day, I see the outcome.
- 11:15I see God in the picture because I don't want to change.
- 11:18The main thing about yourself at its core is the concept of adios
- 11:23F. I have the same guy and no one
- 11:25is going to affect me. No one's going to take me down,
- 11:27no one's going to make me budget.
- 11:29No one's going to ruin my day. No one's going to halt my life.
- 11:32I want my life to be beautiful. I don't want someone else to
- 11:34ruin it. And if you think about it, in
- 11:37our lives, most of our lives, big parts of it are great.
- 11:42We have a lot going on. At what percentage of our lives
- 11:44do we get upset about things that are other people's lives
- 11:48affecting ours? Other people's words, creeing at
- 11:51the mind, other people's ideas and thoughts and whatever
- 11:54they're doing and becomes a part of my life.
- 11:57I'm not interested leave them out.
- 11:58I want to be yourself. I want to be the same guy.
- 12:01I need yourself means I have the same exact guy.
- 12:05Nothing is going to be changed. So the brothers tried to kill
- 12:07him, threw me to a pit sold if he was sold four times he was a
- 12:11slave. He was all over the place per
- 12:12ultimately he came out the same idea yourself and that's what
- 12:16you and I want to be. You want to be a safe, steady,
- 12:19healthy, balanced person, unchanged and unwavered based on
- 12:24the team around this. That's to be done.
- 12:25All right, that's the idea. You said that's like, Yeah.
