Transcript
- 0:01So you're telling you the idea of a Hassidou junior archaman.
- 0:04What does that even mean to be a Hassidou archaman?
- 0:07It means that a person develops a way to really have fear of
- 0:12having funny. There's a is a kid inside
- 0:14wearing a sweatshirt that says essential big words as under and
- 0:20fine print fear of God. OK, it is essential.
- 0:23I'm sure that's what was not made by you as a matter.
- 0:26Fear of ours essentially completely controls.
- 0:30You know, we talk about self-control and all these
- 0:32things. There's nothing that's greater
- 0:33self-control than that. Because I mean, fear of man
- 0:36probably is the greatest horn, but fear of man is not really
- 0:40foolproof because our areas that people do things where they
- 0:44don't fear men. All the scandals they've ever
- 0:47heard of have open scenarios of people who are very much in fear
- 0:52of man thought they can get around it.
- 0:54You need fear of God to be able to be completely in your
- 0:57control. Now has a person developed real
- 1:02irradshamayi shosha davani 3 things developed by These are
- 1:07three things that are not in our actual reality.
- 1:11They require your mind. Three areas a person needs to
- 1:18stare at, analyze and think #1 she will all made my Marshall.
- 1:27Then I put $8 Shimon, you know, 7 or 10 imon #1 the idea that
- 1:32you stand literally face to face in front of guard and that
- 1:35you're interacting with him. To see that, to imagine that, to
- 1:41really internalize that concept as real as it is, you know, over
- 1:45the whole or Shana keep over the whole period talking about, you
- 1:50know, I'm standing in front of Hashem and all these different
- 1:53terms and the law of the gate is closed of all these terms.
- 1:56If we really absorb those terms fully, you have real legitimate,
- 2:02you know what shaman? The level of the other shaman
- 2:05you have depends on how much you really observe those terms.
- 2:07If you really feel like the gate is closing, you feel it, you see
- 2:11the gate closing or you feel like you're talking about a
- 2:13shaman, Hashem is king, all those terms.
- 2:15If that were real, then you know, what shaman would it be at
- 2:18that point? Extremely high end according to
- 2:20the level of your sense of reality of that point is your
- 2:24level of you actually my number 1A, peace and inertial.
- 2:29This is all going on without you seeing Asha.
- 2:37Secondly, this is very difficult, he says, to imagine
- 2:43as a real image, this reality. It's very difficult.
- 2:48It's hard to make this sense of reality, which is very much the
- 2:52truth, real in our minds. To really feel Da let's me at
- 2:58the Ahmed to know who he's standing in front of.
- 3:00Shiviki Hashem, the Nagita meet, the opening of Suharu.
- 3:04I place Hashem in front of me at all times.
- 3:07To be real about this point, you would never get angry, you would
- 3:10never yell, you would never scream at someone, you would
- 3:13never space out in prayer. All these things are based on
- 3:18the lack of understanding the presence of Hashem.
- 3:20And the truth is even that He tells us it's hard to do this,
- 3:23but if the more you do this, the more you turn this into reality,
- 3:27the greater and stronger and much more effective as you we
- 3:35all have the presence, the presence of viere Hashem, but
- 3:38it's much stronger if we see this at the moment.
- 3:40It's like we do Anna every day of the week and you do those
- 3:43Monday and Thursdays. You don't take it serious.
- 3:45You restrict it so often. I.
- 3:49Think about the words to that point, even the words we say in
- 3:52the prayer, what are so strong in the recognition of Hashem?
- 3:59I mean, talk about sins, for example, a guy is talking to God
- 4:02and he's saying hattati aviti. He's saying hanshem una vadu,
- 4:06right? Tamanumeda.
- 4:09We've been, you know, we've been dealing with all that suffering,
- 4:12all that bad. Isn't that a real serious
- 4:15statement? And talking to God face to face,
- 4:17those words, if they actually came across our mind, we said
- 4:21them. And we know what we're talking
- 4:23to, which we do to a degree. But if we always lose focus, if
- 4:27we hold that focus for literally 2 minutes, tefila to be real
- 4:32presence of Hashem. And you know what?
- 4:34It'll be a real molding of Al ya Shamayim, which would affect our
- 4:38entire. That's to your point now.
- 4:40Anisha Teacher. The teacher we got, I know we're
- 4:43teaching our hot and we roll soon and we have goals teaching
- 4:48Ya Yan Anna Hush Ozila. The problem with this topic is
- 4:53that there's no senses that are helping you.
- 4:55Most of the things that we think about are somewhat triggered by
- 5:00our senses. You don't we don't realize this
- 5:01to be reality, but many of the the the thoughts that come
- 5:05across our mind are based on senses.
- 5:08Senses being a smell, touch, feel a sight, something brings
- 5:14us to think we're not animals. But really the reality is a lot
- 5:18of our, you know, unique gift of thought is done based on the
- 5:22animal kind of process. We touch something, we feel
- 5:25something, we smell something, we see something, we hear
- 5:28something. And I get this going that makes
- 5:31you our mind move. It's all reactionary.
- 5:33But here you need to create this thought, which means you need to
- 5:38use, utilize 0 senses. Nothing in front of you.
- 5:42You're not seeing that, you're not hearing God, that's smelling
- 5:45God, you're not touching him, right?
- 5:48What are you doing? You're creating an image of God
- 5:51in your mind and now you're feeling God's presence.
- 5:54It's work that takes work. And that's why the importance
- 5:59and significance about speaking about these things or the
- 6:02significance of being raised the right way in these areas is so
- 6:06effective and so important in this area specifically because
- 6:09it brings about more existence of the presence of Hashem.
- 6:13If you lived many years and you witnessed a lot, you have a
- 6:17sense of the presence of Hashem. If you have parents that raise
- 6:19you properly and they spoke about God often.
- 6:22So you always throw in your mind, if I do this, God is going
- 6:25to say that if I go this way, God is going to have a problem
- 6:28with it. So you developed an existence
- 6:30where there was no existence in your eyes.
- 6:33That's a very effective power. Let them on now.
- 6:36Also rabbi too. Yeah, a lot.
- 6:38Of things, there's so many distractions and this middle is
- 6:41small, but you could be concentrating on the prayer man.
- 6:45I know somebody might be doing this, somebody's been doing that
- 6:48or some other and you get a kid might be running down the aisle,
- 6:50you know, and there's just so many distractions.
- 6:53It's so some reason. It's hard to, really.
- 6:57Really concentrate on. Good, 1000%.
- 6:59That's literally to the concept of this point.
- 7:01Let me give you an example. Let's say looking at a scene,
- 7:06I'm looking at you and it's a funny color on the wall behind
- 7:09you, right? So naturally I'm going to be
- 7:13attracted to that color. If I'm going to come back and
- 7:16talk to him and come back to you, then I'll go back, then
- 7:18I'll come back to you. That problem we have when it
- 7:21comes to prayer is that we get distracted by that color.
- 7:26Let's call it the sound. The kid running, person making a
- 7:30joke next to you, the person talking too loud, whatever it
- 7:33may be, you have nothing pulling you back 'cause there's no
- 7:36presence of Hashem physically in front of you.
- 7:38So you know you're completely distracted.
- 7:40And until you get, you know, hit the bumpers, you can get back
- 7:43on. You know, you hear a song in the
- 7:45Tafila or something, It's hard to be pulled back.
- 7:49So it's not only in a distraction.
- 7:52The distraction takes you off the rails for good until you
- 7:55have something pulling you back. That's how powerful it is.
- 7:57And that's because this idea that there's no physical
- 8:00presence of Hashem, and that's our work to create that
- 8:04imagination that makes it real. Hiraja Mime, which officially
- 8:09can trigger trembling and a crying.
- 8:12And these ideas require a great amount of easy, equal
- 8:16imagination, or better, a sense of reality, the real reality
- 8:21that takes work. Come on #2 the way he plays out,
- 8:25firstly, Omar al Michel Bao Sekhana Khan, someone who's very
- 8:29smart, been out that born with just a little bit of thought.
- 8:36I'm putting his mind to something you ha lik boa
- 8:39billigoa amicata davar. He has the power, a problem.
- 8:45He has the power to make this into a reality.
- 8:49EI huba vinosen vinoten mamash, he can make it a reality that
- 8:55he's actually coming to talk to God.
- 8:57All the phenom with Hanan and he's, as you said, David, the
- 9:00word Hanan, he's doing tahanun, he's begging Hashem, Omehi told
- 9:04him about cash and he's asking. You think so, Hashem, He has
- 9:07something on his mind, right? I have today on my mind a debate
- 9:12whether I'm supposed to go to Muncie to pay respects or not.
- 9:15Do I go to Anaka? Do I go to Anaka?
- 9:18I pray to Hashem, I hope He gives me the answer whether or
- 9:20not to go somewhere. I know, but it's Muncie.
- 9:23It's a big drive. So you have something that's on
- 9:26your mind. Yes, Carter, that's it.
- 9:28And brings you back. You got to do.
- 9:29What you got to? Do all right, Yeah, but do I
- 9:32know him that well? That was one of the things.
- 9:35But the tragedy. So do I go?
- 9:37And he has to realize that, internalize that Hashem is
- 9:44listening to him. It's like your friend would
- 9:47listen to you video Makshi Vishomaya I love and your friend
- 9:51is listening as you talk. God is doing just the same.
- 9:55Make that a reality. That'll make your conversation
- 9:59much more real. That's number one.
- 10:02Number two on page 359, the Harshi Giva Zebedato.
- 10:08Once you implant this in your mind.
- 10:11So if she had one name. So now you have now you made God
- 10:18into the visual. You're talking to good, very
- 10:21good job. Now.
- 10:22Now that he is, what kind of individual is he?
- 10:26Is he another guy on the table? Is he, you know, your friend, or
- 10:30is he the way you really know him to be?
- 10:33Roman Moutaw, His presence is so grand.
- 10:37So you have to expand this image.
- 10:39It's not enough to recognize his existence or to imagine that
- 10:44you're talking face to face. It seems stronger than that red,
- 10:48red color on the wall. It's not enough to do so and now
- 10:51requires the full, according to my ability, the full recognition
- 10:58of our goddess. And you go through the whole
- 11:00thing. Look at the world, look at the
- 11:03news, look at the chaos, look at the peace, look at the movement,
- 11:08Look who's pulling the strings. You go through that whole friend
- 11:11of mine and you start to absorb Hashem is above all is
- 11:16controlling the show with my classic example on my mind right
- 11:18now, I can't get over this. I think it's an incredible
- 11:21point. Is it?
- 11:22As Hashem brings people who hate us, he brings a president who's
- 11:27seemingly very pro Jewish. As God brings a federal
- 11:31government as pro Jewish, he brings a local government that
- 11:35is, you know, pending a possibility of being the most
- 11:39anti Jewish you've ever seen. And you have these two things
- 11:42happen at the same time and you never has this black and white
- 11:45in your life. Give me Gray, give me, you know,
- 11:48purple, give me something in between, you know, black and
- 11:51white. You have federal government
- 11:54that's talking pro Jewish. It's more Jewish than we are and
- 11:58many of our friends are. And then at the same time a
- 12:02local one that the guy is absolutely crazy and he's
- 12:05pushing the buns and he's enjoying.
- 12:08We know this. He is enjoying pushing the mind,
- 12:11that's all Hashem. It's too clear, it's too
- 12:14obvious. Like I said, Pharaoh black, it's
- 12:17white, or Pharaoh white, it's black, whatever is the opposite
- 12:20colors, and it's all God. And we had the senses.
- 12:23And why is news beyond me? But the idea is to recognize His
- 12:28presence, His level of presence, His strength of presence.
- 12:32And when you do that, all the more so you had a sense of
- 12:36dealing with something so real, so impactful, so big, and you
- 12:40start to talk to him the right way.
- 12:42He's controlling his world, pulling his crazy strings.
- 12:45He can pull any string he wants. All right, let's all go listen.
- 12:49The, just to show you how it changed with the government, it
- 12:53was in the 1940s, Jacob Javits got elected to the Senate.
- 12:58He was the first Jewish senator. And he said the first like few
- 13:03months, even a year, a lot of them wouldn't even shake his
- 13:05hand. Other senators and stuff
- 13:07wouldn't even shake his hand because he was a Jew, you know?
- 13:10So eventually that changed. But in the beginning they like,
- 13:13they didn't want to acknowledge him because he was a Jew.
- 13:16That was the government at the. Time 2019, 40s yeah.
- 13:19Yeah, I think he got elected like 194647 something like that.
- 13:23He was first elected to up to Congress at the time.
- 13:26Wow. That was actually, I didn't
- 13:28realize this, that that strong at the time followed the whole.
- 13:32Nazi party then. No, the thing you had a Nazi
- 13:35party. I just didn't realize it was
- 13:36that strong in general. I said, you know, mom, when it's
- 13:39called by call, but how Dila Hashem is so great and elevated
- 13:42about all blessings. I'll call Michelle Mucho to how
- 13:45much Shabbatino la de motte Lavigne.
- 13:48So much greater than any perfection in the world is God's
- 13:51existence. He created that perfection.
- 13:53And one last thought, the last thought you have to think when
- 14:00it comes to how Shamim is, I fear him because he's there.
- 14:05I fear him because he's so powerful, and I fear him because
- 14:08in his presence I'm not anything.
- 14:10I'm a small nothing in the presence of God.
- 14:13This is not a lack of confidence.
- 14:14This is not diminishing your existence.
- 14:16In the presence of God, you and I are not really existence.
- 14:20Whatever. Not really much.
- 14:21The fear, only the toll with the castle toll.
- 14:27Were physical things impossible not to carry a great fear of
- 14:34having if you absorb and internalize these thoughts
- 14:38violate us and not to Sheikh Bodo when you mention his name,
- 14:44when you talk to Ayesha, I mentioned if you're begging for
- 14:50something and you're recognizing and absorbing this level of
- 14:55power in the presence of this level of it's called
- 14:59nothingness, you're an absolute fear.
- 15:02So in order to develop Yashamayim, any of these three
- 15:05things, absorb and recognize the presence of Hashem, recognize
- 15:09how great that presence is, and then recognize how small we are
- 15:14in that presence. All right, stop it.
