I have covered very controversial subjects on
this blog, but nothing is more controversial than “What is Reality?” Why? Because,
the truth about this world and this life on Earth is beyond human
comprehension.
Let me start off by not repeating what I have
already blogged on 15 May 2012, entitled “What is Real?” First read my post.
Last week I provided a blog post
entitled “Introduction to How to Survive Nibiru.” It alluded to the reason Nibiru is approaching
Earth and just hinted to our ability to protect ourselves if we find that we
are in harm’s way.
The first thing to know about the
reality of this world is that the entire world is an allusion completely run by
Hashem. This doesn’t mean that we are robots and that everything is out
of our control. Actually, it is just the
opposite. Hashem set up a system in this
world that allows us to control our lives and even our future.
Once again, I refer you to a blog
post that I did on 24 Aug 2015, called “Prayer Works.” It basically tells us that the
words that we say cause energies to flow and things to happen. Prayer does not work by us saying words that
ascend to Hashem, and He decides what should happen to us. Hashem never decides anything. His infinite intelligence includes every
thought, every word and every action that we and everyone who has ever lived on
Earth has experienced, is experiencing and will experience. All the history of this world is completely
written; it is called the Torah. It has
everything in it.
The most important expression in
the Torah is Ein Od Milvado, there is nothing else. I have also talked about the idea that
everything we see and experience is Hashem's imagination. That does not mean that we do not have free
will decision capability. Hashem allows
us to grow by us making decisions and even making mistakes. If we make positive choices, we get positive
results, negative choices results in ….. (fill in the blank). Hashem works His will around our will, which
means that in the end Hashem’s plan is fulfilled. How easy it is on us is up to us.
When we pray and say the Shema
declaring the Oneness of Hashem we are actually stating that everything is
Hashem. To me one of the greatest
miracles of this world is that you and I can sit in a room together and we see
each other as separate individuals. We
are in reality part of the Oneness of Hashem – we are not separate, we only
have the allusion of individuality.
Since everything is One with
Hashem, it means that nothing can harm us if we know with complete faith that
all is one. Can a rock fall out of the
sky from Nibiru and hit us? Only if you
see that rock as something separate from you.
If you know, I didn’t say believe, I said know beyond a shadow of a
doubt that no rock can hurt you, no person can hurt you, nothing in this world
can harm you in any way, you are completely protected.
One of the most important
concepts a Jew should comprehend is that Hashem is the ONE and ONLY force, the Source
of all forces, in the entire creation (world, universe, metaverse, etc) and
without Him everything would cease to exist. Hashem gives us the power to live,
to breath, to speak. He is supplying us
with Holy energy every moment of our existence.
He gives us the power to cause energies to flow that fulfills our
prayers and controls our lives.
Allusion or not, it is our
reality – choose the blessing.
HaGaon Rav Chayim Volozhin
(Nefesh HaChayim III:12-13) cites the Gemara in Chullin, Daf 7b, which teaches
that if a person internalizes the verse: "You have been shown in order to
know Hashem, He is G-d, there is none beside Him (Devarim 4:35)” he will be
protected from harmful forces. When one accepts Hashem's absolute sovereignty
he places himself fully under His protective wing. Although nature contains
many destructive elements, the man of faith understands that they are but
marionettes in the hands of the Creator.
The Brisker Rav, Rav Yitzchak Zev
Soloveitchik was a descendant of Rav Chayim of Volozhin -- the author of the
Nefesh HaChayim. He testified how the
statement of faith recorded in the Nefesh HaChayim literally served as a guide
through his life. When he was a young
man, "Reb Velvel" - as the Brisker Rav was fondly known, was
commanded to appear before the Russian draft board to be inducted in the Czar's
army. This fate was tantamount to both a
spiritual and physical death sentence. As
the date of his appearance neared, his father, Rav Chayim Brisker, instructed
him to concentrate on the above passage from the Nefesh HaChayim. To Reb Velvel's great relief, his meeting with
the draft board came, and he was exempted from the draft.
Later, when the Germans occupied
Poland at the beginning of World War 2, Rev Velvel fled from Warsaw to Vilna. The roads were filled with German troops, and
Nazis were everywhere. The danger was awesome. Yet, Reb Velvel traveled along undaunted, for
he never stopped reviewing the pledge of the Nefesh HaChayim. "If you always think of Hashem, He will
always think of you and protect you from all harm."
Just once, Reb Velvel was
distracted and his mind wondered onto another thought. Immediately, as if from nowhere, an armed Nazi
approached him threateningly. In a
flash, Reb Velvel collected his thoughts and focused on the Nefesh HaChayim and
the Nazi moved on (Rabbotainu p 170)
Rabbi Yosef Leib Bloch of Telshe
(Shiurei Daat II:44) explains that natural forces which threaten mankind can be
compared to a vicious dog with a long leash tied to its neck. When the animal pounces, the only way an
intended victim can save himself is by calling to the dog's master, to
restraint the beast. If the victim fails
to recognize the presence of the master then he is truly in grave danger. Similarly when man fails to perceive the
"leash" upon the forces of nature, he indeed places himself at their
mercy (Ingeret HaRamban, R' Feuer, Chaf Tet, Artscroll)
Let me give you a more recent example:
There were Israeli soldiers in
the field. An enemy missile was fired
and two soldiers were in harm’s way, the missile heading directly towards
them. One of the soldiers remembered his
father’s instruction to say the verse mentioned above. The missile changed direction and went above
the heads of the two soldiers, completely missing them. There were eight other soldiers nearby who
witnessed this miracle to tell the story.
I am saying to you with complete
certainty that you have the ability to cause any projectile such as a meteor
coming from the tail of Nibiru to veer off and not harm you. This also works for earthquakes, volcanic eruption, etc. Hashem’s protection is guaranteed for those
who have complete faith and trust in the system He gave us in this world. Totally
acknowledging Hashem’s Oneness and that “there is nothing else but Hashem,” is
the key to your complete protection.
Once again, you cannot say: “I will try that, but I don’t know if it
will work for me.” If you have that lack
of faith, it absolutely will not work. Knowing
completely that we are one with Hashem is the only way to succeed. I must not forget the other ingredients to
solidify our faith in Hashem – Teshuvah, Tefillah, Tzedukah, Limud HaTorah,
Ahavas Yisroel, Mitzvot, etc. It is a
package deal that absolutely works. Nothing
can hurt us – guaranteed in writing.
Don't just say this verse, internalize it and totally mean it:
Devarim 4:35
"You have been shown in
order to know that Hashem, He is the G-d! There is none beside Him”
אַתָּה הָרְאֵתָ לָדַעַת כִּי ה
הוּא הָאֱלֹקים אֵין עוֹד מִלְּבַדּוֹ

Another Rav Glazerson Torah Codes video containing Nibiru:
Very Nice and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rav!
ReplyDeleteI have memorised that, even though I be a Noahide.
So this is the question, I believe completely only in Hashem,
and as Noahide when i say this (intend to do it almost all the time), then i will also be protected?
Just needing confirmation.. even if the answer would be "No", i am going to say it... b.n
sc
We are all equal in the eyes of Hashem. He loves you equally as He loves me, and protection goes to all who do His will.
DeleteThank you Rav,
Deleteand so be it... beli neder.. i shall say it many many times everyday, and even at night..
"Hashem, He is G-d, there is none beside Him."
with much gratefulness to you, Rav..
sc
"Hashem, He is G-d, there is none beside Him."
DeleteAmen!

Beautiful post!
ReplyDelete"Be strong and brave who hope in Elohim."
"Trust HaShem with all my heart and lean not my own understanding."
Readers, open your hearts to HaShem and ask Him to help you grow with mighty faith!

And also, another verses:
DeleteDO NOT RELAY on nobles, nor on a human being that he HOLDS NO SALVATION. (Tehillim 146:3). Elohim is the Salvation! Any President or Prime Minister in around the world CANNOT save Israel except Elohim. Go and beg Him to shield you.
It is BETTER to take refuge in HaShem than to trust in man. (Tehillim 118:8)

Dear rav Menachem.
ReplyDeleteWhat you describe in:
" When we pray and say the Shema declaring the Oneness of Hashem we are actually stating that everything is Hashem. To me one of the greatest miracles of this world is that you and I can sit in a room together and we see each other as separate individuals. We are in reality part of the Oneness of Hashem – we are not separate, we only have the allusion of individuality."
is the GAN EDEN "REALITY" and the reality after the sin.
By eating from the fruit of good and evil, we separated us from the reality and oneness of Hashem.
Just by blind trust, faith, EMUNA we acknowledge our oneness with the CREATOR.
Our SH'MA, is the first step of it.
As you know, years ago in my own galut reality, when the danger of a hateful group of Islam youth sorounded me, I closed my eyes and just kept repeating the SH'MA. After a while they resolved in nothing.
There is nothing but HASHEM.
Thank you for reminding!
