- 0:01Mizrahi Inspiration Share #9. Our focus is shifting today with
- 0:06the new topic, a new area of thought in Rob Cook's teachings.
- 0:11And now we're moving across to the subject of the Land of
- 0:14Israel, Arabs Israel and Rob Cook quotes an amazing teaching
- 0:19from a rabbi called Rob Avraham Azulai who died in Hebron
- 0:23approximately 350 plus years ago.
- 0:27And he writes something quite fascinating, real as you like
- 0:30the first night a person comes to Erits Israel, his soul rises
- 0:34to a spiritual world during sleep, then returns in the
- 0:38morning from its wanderings in the spiritual world.
- 0:40And normally your soul goes up and the same soul comes down.
- 0:44But after a person breathes and absorbs the air of Erits Israel,
- 0:49he is transformed. When he awakens his first
- 0:52morning in the Land of Israel, he has a new soul.
- 0:56To quote from the original text, if a man is outside the land of
- 1:00Israel, he has a soul of lesser spiritual forces.
- 1:04If he merits to enter the land of Israel, a soul from a newly
- 1:07created source comes to him and clothes itself with his old
- 1:11soul. The first night he sleeps out to
- 1:13Israel, both souls depart from him and rise to worlds far
- 1:17above. And in the morning, the new soul
- 1:20returns, spending any amount of time in the land of Israel.
- 1:25It's not just a new holiday destination or a place to work
- 1:29or to meet family. It's a spiritual encounter with
- 1:33forces that are far greater, far more profound than we experience
- 1:37living in hoods outside of the lands.
- 1:41Normally, we view the physical world as reality.
- 1:44There are three other Cook taught us that this was only a
- 1:48partial truth. In actuality, the spiritual
- 1:52world is more real than the physical world.
- 1:54We didn't always recognize this, but our ancestors did.
- 1:58In the outcome's dream, when he left Israel to find a wife and
- 2:01to escape his psychotic brother, he sees a ladder with angels
- 2:05going up and coming down. The angels who ascended are
- 2:07angels who accompany him in the land of Israel, the ones who
- 2:11came down, or the angels who accompany him.
- 2:14On his descent into exile, Acts are leaving the land.
- 2:18No matter whether you're geographically going to the
- 2:20north, to the east, the West, to the South, you always
- 2:23descending, going down from the land of Israel.
- 2:27When he returns to the land, he once again sees this change of
- 2:31celestial guard, only this time in reverse when the sun rises.
- 2:35He is not the same Yarkov. His soul has been transformed,
- 2:40and he said your name shall no longer be Yarkov.
- 2:43But Israel says the Villenet got on that a person isn't complete
- 2:48until he comes to the land of Israel.
- 2:51On the on the verse that says Viavo Yakov shalem IR Shahem,
- 2:55Yakov came to Shalem to the city of Shahem.
- 2:58The Vilna gown explains Shalem and its meaning of wholeness
- 3:01says that Yakov wasn't complete until he came to the land of
- 3:05Israel. What happened to Yakov is an
- 3:09indication of what's going to happen to his children over the
- 3:12transformation of our nation, says the Prophet.
- 3:16I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of
- 3:19all countries and bring you into into your own land.
- 3:22A new heart I will also give you and a new spirit I will put in
- 3:26put within you. You will dwell in the land which
- 3:28I gave to your fathers. You shall be my people and I
- 3:31will be your God. Want to check it out?
- 3:35Book of Yukhazcal Ezekiel Chapter 36.
- 3:39Look at the Listen to what we just said.
- 3:42Only after we return to the land are we influenced by its
- 3:45special, transforming powers, and our true, healthy spirits
- 3:50will be renewed. That's it for today.
- 3:53Start time to pack the bags to head off to the Land of Israel,
- 3:57at least in our hearts, even if it's not reality for the day.
- 4:00Take care, my friends. Have a good day.
