Transcript
- 0:00Sha like do this on Friday morning.
- 0:03I want to pull out the theme, the mindset of Alcoa Vito as
- 0:09follows. He's about to face off with ESA
- 0:13and just build it up and your mind.
- 0:15ESAF has been wanting to kill him for 20 years, so I was
- 0:18waiting for this moment. Alcoa Vino pretty much took
- 0:20everything from him and ESAF's eyes so this is a real face off
- 0:26now he told us a line page 17 you'll be here.
- 0:29He told us a lie and he told us a lie in the most perfect way
- 0:32possible and I think it's actually be the exact frame
- 0:37frame of mind that a Jew should always have.
- 0:39What is it? He sends messengers to his
- 0:43salvage. He tells these messengers angels
- 0:46told his salves home when you tell about on the more he tells
- 0:50the messengers to tell it sounds the following line and this line
- 0:54includes this perfect fairline call Tom Luna Donila ESA.
- 0:59So you should tell your master ESA.
- 1:02I want you to tell my master, my master ESA Korma of the Hayakov.
- 1:06These are the words of your servant Nako in Lavangharti by
- 1:11Hirata. I've been living by Lavan and
- 1:14I've waited until now and then he says and I have a heli.
- 1:18I have with me shore the hamor, an oxen, a donkey, sheep and
- 1:23servants maize, and I'm sending them to you.
- 1:26I'm sending to you to find favor in your eyes.
- 1:29That is a short message that the messengers, which are angels
- 1:33should tell aside. Now, by the way, as an aside, an
- 1:37important point to know regarding the entire is that
- 1:40although they are called being whose process and tactics are
- 1:44considered the finest tactics ever when it comes to an enemy,
- 1:47he's considered the literally the rule book of how to go
- 1:52textbook of how to deal and make peace with people around you.
- 1:57At the same time, the Madash says certain things that I
- 2:01called you did are questionable starters.
- 2:04Opening up the dialogue with yourself.
- 2:07Sending angels to yourself first was debatable.
- 2:11Bowing down to yourself when he finally meets him also debatable
- 2:16because maybe it's going too far.
- 2:18First of all, sending Angels older brother so he has to deal
- 2:21with the other brother thing. Guess what, that's just we had
- 2:23to. I saw a friend of mine I caught
- 2:25me talking to. OK, so we'll play that in a
- 2:29second now. But first, the old role opening
- 2:32up of trying trying to make peace, assuming that there's an
- 2:36ongoing fight, even though I saw did hate him, but assuming
- 2:39there's an unknown issue. Madar says they caught the Marie
- 2:44Marie blower lawyers getting involved in a fight that didn't
- 2:46really fully exist when I called me and I thought it did because
- 2:50based in the past and he knew I saw it was upsetting to him
- 2:53going down my dash. He shouldn't have been opened
- 2:55up. But once he opened up his
- 2:57tactics perfect and the perfect mindset.
- 3:01I believe for a person to think we're dealing with other people.
- 3:05Take that line that he says in Lavan Gharti.
- 3:08I've lived by Lavan and I waited until now, but she says 2
- 3:13points. Paul officer points in Lavan
- 3:16Gharti means a saw. You need to know I've been a
- 3:20Gare. I've been a wanderer by Levan
- 3:24all these years, which means I didn't really strike a big don't
- 3:29think in your mind yourself and I Aqua I'm a big deal.
- 3:33They need to be jealous of. We need to hate.
- 3:36I was by Levan all these years. I was delayed all these years.
- 3:40I was waiting until now. But don't feel bad.
- 3:43I never really became a major deal by Levan.
- 3:46That's part number one. At the same time he says in
- 3:50Lavan gharati Rashi writes that means tariyag mitzvah jomarti.
- 3:55I followed Hashem, I followed Ghazwadi even while I was by
- 3:59Lavan. 2 separate points. 1 is that I was by this man's house
- 4:04all this time telling you it's up, but you should know, I know
- 4:07that they can't a big deal. Two, I was there and I kept
- 4:12Hashem's way the whole way through two separate messages.
- 4:15How does this relate to Assaf? What is that quality of his
- 4:18friend of mine? What's the goal of here?
- 4:21This, I believe, is the key, how to toe the line, put in the
- 4:24perfect way. On the one hand, he's displaying
- 4:28your mood. He's telling Assaf nothing to
- 4:31see here, nothing to be jealous of, nothing to hate, and not a
- 4:35big deal. Nothing to worry about, as he's
- 4:38telling Assaf all right. At the same time, he's telling
- 4:41maybe Assaf or maybe even himself.
- 4:44That doesn't mean I'm nothing. That doesn't mean I'm a zero.
- 4:48I am striking 1000. I'm batting 1000 when it comes
- 4:51to my life and the kind of life I want to live.
- 4:54I am extremely humble, but I'm also extremely confident.
- 4:58I am not interested in impressing or creating jealousy
- 5:03in the eyes of an ace of but that does not mean I'm going to
- 5:06peel away from my own self-confidence.
- 5:08It does not mean I'm going to consider myself a weak person or
- 5:12a person who's unsuccessful. No, no, I'm very successful.
- 5:15She's not in the kind of success that is solved with jealous of
- 5:18not the kind of success will get in yourself nervous.
- 5:21So he tells yourself I listen. I was a wanderer by Levine.
- 5:25In other words, I didn't strike it big in the ways that you care
- 5:28about but in the ways that I care about.
- 5:31You should know whether yourself cares or not I'm good.
- 5:34I did great. I thank God I'm great, as is a
- 5:37very important point for all of us.
- 5:38We run our families, run our own mind.
- 5:41We try to be humble. We try not to stick it to other
- 5:44people or to stick out to other people or to get other people
- 5:47nervous and jealous and hateful. But at the same time, you don't
- 5:50want to be on Z case. At the same time, you want to
- 5:53have a lot of things that make you very proud because you're on
- 5:56a different track and those who can be jealous of you.
- 6:00Your track is I'm successful in the areas that I care about that
- 6:04I care for myself to care about, not for other people to worry
- 6:07about and you can have two tracks at the same time toward
- 6:10others. Nothing to see here told
- 6:13yourself I'm doing great and that is a track alcohol, you
- 6:16know as his minds like he does this a few times.
- 6:20So the angels come back and they tell him, listen, a salve is
- 6:23coming. He has 400 men.
- 6:25Good luck. He's coming and he's built up an
- 6:28army and this is very scary. He called me no praise and his
- 6:33prayer he tells God I am made small by all the gifts that you
- 6:37gave me. I recognize the fact that I'm
- 6:39blessed doesn't ignore the fact that he's blessed.
- 6:42He recognizes the fact that he says I started off with only I
- 6:44crossed to Jordan the first time with a stick.
- 6:46I had nothing. I came across when I left my
- 6:49parents house with nothing and now I have two camps.
- 6:53So he is accepting and recognizing that he blessed but
- 6:58itself doesn't need to know itself does not need to care.
- 7:01I am blessed God. I recognize with you that I'm
- 7:03blessed. That's what he said Karen, and
- 7:06he starts to send gifts to Asabi.
- 7:09He's playing into an ASAB mine on the side He knows what does
- 7:13he do? He sends gifts.
- 7:14Basuk says these words like flattering.
- 7:17He's playing into Asaf's eyes completely flatter.
- 7:20What does he do? In fact, Yaakov keeps using the
- 7:23language I am your serving you my minister to this up in the
- 7:28message and Iman says that he was.
- 7:32That's a challenge of too much, but the mindset he's trying to
- 7:34play into his sub's brain. If his sub does notice my
- 7:38success, it's hard time not to notice.
- 7:40Aqua Arena was the wealthiest man around.
- 7:43He was the most successful man around and he'd the best family
- 7:45around. It's hard for his sub not to
- 7:47notice. But he was living by law during
- 7:50that time. I love and he accumulated all
- 7:51that, yes. But at the end he committed it
- 7:54all, so you know, hard to avoid his sub's eyes.
- 7:56So he does. He tries to play into his sub
- 7:58and this is a great trick and that is he starts to send gifts,
- 8:02his language, which is you're my mess, I'm your servant is
- 8:06whatever wealth that I have. Whenever you are there, notice
- 8:09you own it because I'm your servant.
- 8:12This is all playing in the South's brain because I'm your
- 8:15servant. The more wealth that I do have
- 8:17that gets you nervous. You shouldn't get you nervous
- 8:19because it's a part of you. I am your servant.
- 8:22That's completely a trick. But then he starts to play with
- 8:25himself. Eyes.
- 8:26How do you play with yourselves? Eyes, do you recognize that?
- 8:29If I have to send them gifts, it's a Pisa.
- 8:32He sends gifts. The gifts are sent with a little
- 8:36bit of space for teenage gifts. He tells these messenger, you
- 8:40travel. First group goes in a certain
- 8:43amount of animals. The second group follows behind,
- 8:47but they leave a little space. I leave a little space.
- 8:51Why just come one at the other at the other?
- 8:54Why have one shipment of goods and then a couple of minutes
- 8:58later, further down the road, another shipment of animals,
- 9:02another shipment. Why have they?
- 9:05As she tells us, it was a classic play on the air.
- 9:07SOB ice and we'll get back to you.
- 9:10I call this friend of mine in a minute.
- 9:11Is you Socket alive at this point?
- 9:13His hawk is alive, yes, but he's considered like you're not.
- 9:17I think so. He sends towards yourself this
- 9:21gift and his steps because he knows and his SOB die, just want
- 9:26to see more. So he gets a gift.
- 9:29He looks down the road and he sees another one coming, exactly
- 9:33the same thing. And he's thinking to himself and
- 9:35his salve's brain is thinking. It's never ending as far as my
- 9:39eye can see. There's more coming.
- 9:41And at Covas playing into that, she's Shylock.
- 9:43He's feeding into It's OK. He's feeding into that brain of
- 9:48an Assad, which is a different kind of mind.
- 9:50A mind that wants a mind is the exact opposite of mind that
- 9:52wants everything, that thinks everything is coming to him.
- 9:55I think she deserves it all. I think she's the master.
- 9:57Akova's playing into that as well at the same time.
- 9:59So he's calling her my master. He's sending him gifts in his
- 10:03steps, right? But on his own frame of mind,
- 10:06he's very clear. I do not need other people to
- 10:09see my wealth or to feel jealous of me.
- 10:12So to them, I have what I had. I need on the all at the same
- 10:16time myself to feel extremely confident and secure and happy
- 10:21with what I had to to myself and my chalk.
- 10:24I'm blessed and that is a frame every one of us needs to have
- 10:27carry these two steps at the same time.
- 10:30I don't need others to be busy with me, but I need myself to be
- 10:35very busy with myself. I can be at the same time and
- 10:38she me humble and she me self confident.
- 10:41That's how call me his trick and he does it over and over again.
- 10:43I'll give you another example. What a big example, perfect
- 10:46example, and had a little like with social media age, right?
- 10:50Exactly. This is all a challenge.
- 10:52So is he marketing or is it real?
- 10:54Which part? Yeah, I'll call him.
- 10:55I'm saying is he like walking to Sr. like or?
- 10:57Which part sending the gifts, balcony, that stuff in
- 11:00marketing, all this is all like sending the gifts and calling
- 11:03him my master was all marketing because as Salve believed as
- 11:07Salve's friend of mine originally was older brother.
- 11:09In the old days, the older brother meant the master
- 11:13literally. It's not like that today.
- 11:15In those days the older brother meant the master and I called
- 11:18was playing into that brain obey a sub and saying you're my
- 11:22behold, you're there for my master, I'm your servant all the
- 11:26all that I have is yours is all that's all part of the sketch,
- 11:31but his own friend of mine is very clear what?
- 11:33Had this. I didn't change because one
- 11:35generation back. It was like that.
- 11:37I mean, now we're talking. Father in Israel he was.
- 11:41He was the like. Like more than my grandfather of
- 11:43the house. How did it change?
- 11:45It might be Americanized. They change.
- 11:47It might be because the older brothers play there with my my
- 11:50family. I have an older.
- 11:51Brother the youngest, always. Tell me the youngest right We
- 11:53have a lot of examples with the seconds and the youngest I
- 11:56always hold off like because of the 7th kids but but in my
- 12:00family and you got very my family the oldest is great but
- 12:08not like that and my kids my oldest is a daughter and my kids
- 12:13aren't allowed to be that way either because I don't want to
- 12:15think because it's just creates whatever but in those days two
- 12:20years in Martinson I think it's but run the house but in that
- 12:25dollar to grow yeah but in in in those days that oldest also
- 12:29carry a lot more burden. Also I saw had to be probably
- 12:33the reason why I saw that he would have earned his degree
- 12:35might be partially from that responsibility.
- 12:38They're responsible. They can family the light back
- 12:43to see what, 20-30 years old and there's a lot of the next one
- 12:47up. There's a lot of differences
- 12:51from the years ago to today, not just this one.
- 12:56Because. I know what you talk to me
- 13:03about, I know what they say about that.
- 13:04But definitely he's continuing his ISAB still hates him, that's
- 13:08for sure. I definitely built.
- 13:09So this is the play. So there are two plays happening
- 13:12over there. Yaakov is playing exactly 2
- 13:16plays a man. Yaakov is playing with his own
- 13:18mind and is Yaakov is playing with his size mind.
- 13:22Do we see those two points? His own mind.
- 13:25He's having this perfect balance, which is as I does not
- 13:28need to care about me and I'm too busy with me at all times.
- 13:30But I am very confident myself. That's his own framework.
- 13:33Totally. The Saab.
- 13:34Oh, he's playing in on all the nonsense.
- 13:37You're my master. You're my leader.
- 13:39I mean, I'm I'm second to you. All that's going on.
- 13:42OK, now he's giving. Kids.
- 13:44But he doesn't believe it for a minute.
- 13:45That none of that stuff. Does he ever believe that his
- 13:47Saab is his master? Absolutely not.
- 13:49Because that would mean that he subjugated his way of life and
- 13:53that's definitely not the case ABS zero of that.
- 13:56So these two things happen at the same time.
- 13:58Now I come to a moment where the how cough splits his camp.
- 14:03Then the bazook says this is a little battle that happens.
- 14:06There's a battle Kutina Akova and ish.
- 14:10But these words vyava tere akova levador, he was left alone,
- 14:14Vyavec ish imor and a man struggled with him, wrestled
- 14:19him. ADA lotta Shah until the morning
- 14:22time as she tells us who is this man as she says it was an Angel.
- 14:27There are a lot of points I bring out from this wrestle of
- 14:30Yaquavi. That was human being.
- 14:31It's a physical. It was a physical representation
- 14:34of an Angel. It was a person representing an
- 14:38Angel. Sometimes you have all the Allen
- 14:39of these stories or you have as a person, right?
- 14:42Akova Vinu was a person representing an Angel.
- 14:46I'm sorry, Akova was facing a person that was represent that
- 14:48was an Angel. And this Angel is the Angel of
- 14:50Aesop right there Got that is Angel of Aesop, and they're in
- 14:54this wrestling match. Good.
- 14:56So the bumps and it's like it's conscience.
- 14:58Somebody that exact would say in this wrestling match I got
- 15:01called, but you know beats him. What how does the wrestle
- 15:05happen? There's a lot to this.
- 15:08This is but if I tell you I called him about door I started
- 15:11because he was left alone. Let's play this out left alone
- 15:14seems like I called I had to go back for a moment to get more
- 15:18stuff and he left his family while they're traveling toward
- 15:21yourself. He left alone for a minute,
- 15:23right? And because he's left alone,
- 15:25that's when they battle each other now.
- 15:29What's that? When you by itself, you get that
- 15:34very good. So now left alone seems like
- 15:36left alone seems like he was at a vulnerable state.
- 15:40So you had to fight the Angel. That's what it reads good.
- 15:43The reality is the deeper point is the left alone really meant
- 15:48going to Medasha, going to the Gemara, etcetera.
- 15:51Akavina was at his highest point in life when he was alone.
- 15:55At this point, he had hit a spiritual point that's better
- 16:01than anyone else can ever reach the point of livador.
- 16:05What is this mental state of livador and why is this a state
- 16:08that he can struggle with? The Angel of his out livador
- 16:11means that he doesn't believe that he needs anyone else to
- 16:16make him feel good. He doesn't believe he needs
- 16:18everyone else's respect to make him do a big deal.
- 16:22He doesn't need to come out to anybody.
- 16:24It's an extremely, I believe, the most perfect for your mind,
- 16:28which is confident but humble, which means right here
- 16:32everything exists in my mind, but at the same time I'm alone.
- 16:36I don't need others to give me accolades.
- 16:38I don't need others to bring your parents by me.
- 16:41That is the level of livaldo. That's the perfect stage.
- 16:43And at that stage that only one you need with you is God, a Jew.
- 16:49In fact, the Madash says Livaldo is like Hashem, well, not 100%
- 16:54like Hashem, because Hashem is alone and he has this obviously
- 16:57confidence, if you call it that, obviously doesn't need anyone in
- 17:01a sense if you call it that, but he doesn't need anyone else.
- 17:04We all live our door with Hashem and I will live our door and our
- 17:08friend of mine and our head and our family's head.
- 17:12I believe she'll always be at this point.
- 17:15Are we in our home? Very, excuse me, very confident,
- 17:18Very much. Do we feel we're living life the
- 17:20right way? Sure do we need to stick it to
- 17:23other people not at all. We need to do our thing with the
- 17:26feel content and not put it in their face.
- 17:29Now Carlia was doing exactly that by the process of Levador.
- 17:33So to an Assad a no big deal or nothing.
- 17:36Even when he faces he finally meets Assad after this wrestling
- 17:39match, he finally meets Assad himself.
- 17:42And Assad says who gave me all this?
- 17:44What he goes alcohol says God blessed your servant myself with
- 17:48all this. He makes it very small.
- 17:50That's where it really came from.
- 17:54And his son says, let's go together now and says little
- 17:56Charlie, of course my kids, they're weak.
- 17:58They're small, they're little. They can't walk.
- 18:00I'll walk a little behind you. And he walks behind him and he's
- 18:02still he's still trailing is up right?
- 18:04Still going out on that is suck, huh?
- 18:07Until this very day. But this is the frame of mind.
- 18:10The frame of mind starts shopping in Lavangarthi, which
- 18:12means I my mind. I was very successful by Lavand.
- 18:17I kept her. I kept Mitts fault.
- 18:19I kept my family Great. But in your standards, I'm no
- 18:22big deal. I know I might have some wealth.
- 18:25It's not anything you want. I know I might have some
- 18:27prominence, I was still a wanderer.
- 18:30But he didn't want a self to care about that blessing at all.
- 18:34So he told the line in the perfect way, the way of Levador.
- 18:37Levador is the way every you should live in.
- 18:40My own home should be rolling. My kids should feel like our
- 18:44house is the best. But that does not mean that
- 18:47everyone else needs to know, hear, and feel that way as well.
- 18:50I'll give you the process exactly.
- 18:53Levador literally meets her alone.
- 18:55Does this make sense to us? A friend of mine, right?
- 18:57This is the vanguard. I think we all tried the frame
- 19:00of mind. Let me give you this.
- 19:02This. There's no one in the same idea.
- 19:04There's no one but God. God is alone.
- 19:06That wasn't this at the end of the Tavila.
- 19:09And obviously do it. They bring prayers.
- 19:11I think you might not aided, right?
- 19:13So they ask the prayer is I ask Hashem.
- 19:17Shalotallah cannot akrem a lie. Nobody should be jealous of me.
- 19:23You're asking a shame for that. And I, you shouldn't be jealous
- 19:26of them. Naturally if nobody's jealous of
- 19:29me, you know I usually means I got 2 left feet when it comes to
- 19:32anything. Now if I'm a basketball player,
- 19:33no one does to me. He's like can't he came high
- 19:36school, right? If I'm in business and no one
- 19:39does to me and he's like, I don't know how to work yet.
- 19:41But how do I get to a point that nobody's jealous of me and I, I
- 19:48don't know why I'm not jealous of them.
- 19:50That's very difficult. That's because I told the
- 19:52perfect line and it's a line that we all do try to tell.
- 19:55It's a line that's difficult to tell.
- 19:56Sometimes people like to, as they call it, flex or they want
- 19:59to call it. But we all have realized over
- 20:01time we're better off this way because we're content with our
- 20:04families, a hobby, with our own stage in life, and we do it this
- 20:07way. This is the exact idea.
- 20:09I shouldn't get angry. No one should get angry at me.
- 20:11It's all this. And then the next thing you lie
- 20:13is God should bless me. I am a long life, life of peace.
- 20:18Life of goodness, life of blessing, life of Panasatova,
- 20:21life of everything. So how am I going to get that
- 20:23and have no one else to me? Answer is I adopt A Livador fair
- 20:28of mine. The Livador fair of mine is I am
- 20:31very, very unshare. I don't stick it to other
- 20:34people, in fact. Humility and confidence.
- 20:37Is the one thing humility and Co person can be both.
- 20:40And I've said this a many times, every great person that we've
- 20:43had has been batting 1000 when it comes to humility and batting
- 20:481000 when it comes to confidence.
- 20:51Classic example after example of the greats.
- 20:54They all did this perfectly. So this came to my mind this
- 20:56morning when I'm thinking about Alpha Shah and I called, you
- 20:59know, toeing the line in front of yourself and somehow avoiding
- 21:03jealousy and avoiding hate and avoiding fights.
- 21:05It's because it's my and how we we have to do this and we try,
- 21:08we continue to try it. In Lavangardi, I was a stranger.
- 21:12You do the best you can. You can't control, no, they are
- 21:16the people, but you can do the best you can to to keep it in
- 21:20you a. 100% this is all something I know.
- 21:22This doesn't mean, this doesn't mean, to be very clear, this
- 21:24doesn't mean a guy can have a shop car.
- 21:26It doesn't mean a guy can have a nice house.
- 21:27And it doesn't mean all those basic things does not mean that
- 21:30all that's all not the point. That's not the, but not the low.
- 21:35So that the lower level of. What we're talking about.
- 21:38Because the guy who's really livador, he doesn't need the
- 21:40car. Agreed, but it's very all that.
- 21:43Stuff is super. With you, Yeah, but he likes it.
- 21:45It's very hard to reach out. There, it's not.
- 21:48Bad. It's not bad.
- 21:50But he's just not there. The kind, The kind.
- 21:52And it's a real thing. You know, they say, oh, you put
- 21:54on a nice, you feel like $1,000,000, this is all stuff to
- 21:58get you to the next place. So you just have to recognize
- 22:02what these things are that exist in the world.
- 22:05Yeah, I'm not saying it's easy item, but you know, once you
- 22:08could say, all right, you know what?
- 22:10Yeah, there's a it was a very wealthy guy in the community for
- 22:13years. But my father in law's friend
- 22:15owns half of a night and and they went this hell driving an
- 22:18old Honda Freyos and he's laughing at the work and the and
- 22:23he could see I don't need anything.
- 22:25And that always resonates in my Masha because everyone knows
- 22:30that that guy could buy Honda, the company.
- 22:32You know, we all, honey, a lot of times those people are cooler
- 22:35than everyone else when they have and everyone knows really
- 22:38they have and they pull that streak.
- 22:39They do it on purpose and they, they, they throw a simple way,
- 22:42right? Or that's only somebody because
- 22:44they can. Some people are just cheap too,
- 22:46you know, invest, there's invest, they'll invest a billion
- 22:49dollars in business, but they, oh, I'm not buying.
- 22:51I'm not buying this all. Right, I will say so that being.
- 22:55Cheap on the looking ahead punch after the sticks now what
- 23:00setting don't make. The real island is who's
- 23:04looking. This is our point of like.
- 23:07The things you buy, it's. It's really Somebody want to
- 23:15this Sonic?
