  Garden of knowledge and number 62, What exactly is the snake
• 0:06
  saying to Eve? God says one thinks it's the
• 0:10
  snake and I'm telling you something different even though
• 0:14
  I shenzhou, don't eat from the tree.
• 0:17
  Here's my point of view and it's equally as valid.
• 0:21
  Snake is the archetype heretic and is unbelievable.
• 0:25
  Brazenness has no problems contradicting Hashem.
• 0:30
  His SATs, you have to listen to God.
• 0:32
  So what? If you, if he tells you that the
• 0:36
  fruit is forbidden, you've got a brain use it.
• 0:41
  Don't let anyone tell you what to do.
• 0:46
  Live your life, as you see fit. That's really what's going on.
• 0:51
  The beginning of this story here.
• 0:53
  The terrorists setting us up to her for an understanding of what
• 0:56
  it means to listen to. What a shame wants us to do or
• 1:00
  not do. So, the snake represents here
• 1:03
  that attitude that says, you do what you want.
• 1:05
  Don't worry about tradition, that worry about sham.
• 1:10
  You have just as much as much, right to exercise, your free
• 1:13
  choice and your own understanding.
• 1:17
  Snakes job is to incite and tempt people.
• 1:23
  To make sure we've got free choice.
• 1:24
  The snake has allowed to sway people towards evil.
• 1:27
  The are then rewarded when they choose.
• 1:29
  Good and overcome the snakes influence which is the root of
• 1:32
  all the inclinations of evil, anytime a person Harbors, doubts
• 1:36
  in his or her heart about the truth of Torah or the rules are
• 1:40
  there are by set down for us about the truth of God or the
• 1:45
  truth of Divine Providence, that person is under the attack of
• 1:51
  the snake. Snake Injects the Venom of doubt
• 1:54
  and heresy into a person's heart with questions that destroy.
• 1:58
  Well, I'm sure. And one of the true, the pure
• 2:00
  belief that there is one God who controls everything and knows
• 2:06
  exactly what we need to be doing.
• 2:09
  Who says that some old rabbis that lived centuries ago, know
• 2:13
  more than we do. It was the nerve to teach you
• 2:16
  morals or tell you what to do with your money, or how to
• 2:19
  behave do on the weekends. Have a good time live your life.
• 2:22
  This is the 21st century. If one drops his guard, the
• 2:27
  snake would easily have been violating every law of the Tara.
• 2:31
  This is how Adam and Eve were tricked into eating the
• 2:33
  forbidden fruit in the same manner many weeks after the
• 2:36
  Jewish, people received the Torah on Mount Sinai, the snake
• 2:38
  had them commit idolatry and build a golden calf.
• 2:42
  Maybe that's almost a great doctor of the Soul.
• 2:45
  He teaches us will be nothing as Robbie.
• 2:47
  Laughlin's main student, there are persons down, fall into the
• 2:50
  pit and heresy, and doubt begins with breaches in Amarillo and
• 2:56
  personal Holiness. The only way for someone to
• 2:58
  avoid us trap, put your logic to one side.
• 3:02
  Strengthen yourself with Emin without tradition with how we
• 3:08
  live. Put trust in Hashem.
• 3:10
  Has wisdom and not sure. Our own judgment.
• 3:13
  I'm gonna repairs everything further most of ribbon that I'm
• 3:17
  a person with true sense, can realize that the intellectual
• 3:20
  disciplines of this world are not wisdom at all.
• 3:23
  Because they can't lead us to our true purpose.
• 3:26
  Didn't help us achieve our ultimate goal and Achieve our
• 3:29
  mission. Are they really wise don't take
• 3:33
  you to where you need to go says rebbe nachman that despite the
• 3:37
  fact that we are in this mundane Material World, we should
• 3:39
  remember our purpose and therefore work on freeing
• 3:43
  ourselves from anything ultimately that drives us away
• 3:47
  from doing what we are here to achieve true, wisdom leads to
• 3:52
  holiness Lifting a person from status of an animal to the
• 3:55
  status of a human being whose neshama whose sole directs the
• 4:00
  body, rather than the other way around.
• 4:03
  True wisdom brings a person to humility and turn awareness of
• 4:09
  Asha. That's what's really going on
• 4:12
  here, life lessons about where we accept wisdom from where we
• 4:16
  accept guidance from. And here's this character put
• 4:19
  into the Torah to represent the wrong type of guidance, the
• 4:24
  wrong type of listening. And a we going to say, no Gods
• 4:26
  told us X. I don't care if Y is more
• 4:28
  exciting, more tempting. X is what I need to do to
• 4:31
  fulfill my mission. For now, beware of snakes, have
• 4:36
  a good day.
