11:59 "Birth is God saying you matter." ~Rabbi Simone Jacobson

[@romb1818]

Depensd at "What" you matter. Even having slaves was a good thing for rich people, meaning "it mattered"... But that doesn't mean it was something good for slaves. So, it might "matter", but that does not mean it is something good for you.

I do love myself because if I don't, then no one will. I used to cry a lot about being alone with no family, but now I just accept it. Loving myself is a necessity or else I'll commit suicide. Yes, I'm going through a lot, but I'm very resilient

The reason there are so many Mary' in the gospels is the name is a slur. Jesus proves himself a hypocrite by declaring a wicked generation, according to the Jews, seeks signs & wonders. The Christian declares it is sacred scripture with magic in every chapter, because the gospels are satire, parody, State propaganda. Paul made small, then called Saul. You know a tree by its fruit. You know the man by his work. The Christian insists we submit, to His plan: travel with one foot in fantasyland. Christians have uninhibited vanity which they share with such declarations we are all gods, children of the highest god. Christians are the wolves in sheep's clothing, a wicked generation seeking signs, hypocrites making a scene of prayer in the temple. We know a tree by the fruit. We know men by their works. We thank god secular law & order finally stopped the witch-killings. Christians avoid the truth by gathering together in church venues to share delusion. There ignore they are social rejects, politely avoided like the old woman with 400 pet cats. When given power, they tend toward fascism, demanding, we all follow their understanding, as if Earth had gravity-free zones. Theologians grant each other doctorates, based on nothing whatsoever. The only difference between a Republican & Democrat is how fast the knee hits the floor when a donor walks in the room. There is no plan, not for greenhouse gases, as long as energy is needed to keep the show on the road. Who wants a country where everyone votes, That is your quality control? There is forever a Christian, authorized by himself, boasting certainty about directions from fantasyland.

Every time I listen to you I feel uplifted and you are the first Rabbi that makes me feel this way...Funny I grew up in Israel and we had bible as s mandatory lesson at school from second to 12th grade...Let's just say...I wish I had you as my teacher.

“People who are inherently secure who recognize their self love, poverty will not destroy them, and wealth will not corrupt them.” This was powerful and hit a little too close to home, I needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing this Rabbi!

[@jessicawicker3582]

I went completely opposite, I valued everyone else's life more than my own

[@chazitup13]

Valuing other people, more than myself, has always been a part of me. Standing up for others, instead of for myself, as a protector, somehow, gave me a sense of self-worth. Life is complicated and we all just struggle along doing the best we can, however.

[@weallliveintrees]

As a very (spiritually) poorly educated and extremely lapsed Protestant, I can only thank you Rabbi Simon, for sharing your wisdom in these podcasts.

I always have loved myself💗, love life🌱🌸🌷 and have a lot of love to give to people around me, despite losing my parents at a very young age and being diagnosed with a life limiting illness and am therefore a wheelchair user. However it was a hard pill to swallow, that society stopped treating me as equal once I started using my wheelchair. So I had to love myself more to make sure that I did not become bitter and resentful. Thankyou Rabbi for this video

we are all born equal, no more or no less, no better, no worse

[@romb1818]

Thst is not true. Are you tall as Michael Jordan, smart as Einstein and the list can go on... I know I am not... So even if 1 person (meaning "me") has not these qualities, that means that NOT ALL are equals. In the best case, 8 billions people are equal, but One (me) is Not Equal. Those BS with equality was just mambo jambo for political reasons.

[@minj.k]

@@romb1818 equal does not mean same… we are all no more or no less worthy of existence

[@romb1818]

@@minj.k Yeah, right 😂🤦. Equal in height or in IQ. Have you heard of synonyms? If you are "equal" with M Jordan, you must have 1.98m. Or you can say that a Dodge Ram is ewual in lenght with a Toyota Corrola only because they are both cars?

[@Thoughtmanifestkingdom]

@@romb1818 I understand where you are coming from, what it means to me, we are born with equal purity and a fresh spirit, children are the closest to creation any of us ever witnesses. Equality is destroyed by limitedness of thought spread as poison, a greed never satisfied and limitations placed upon ourselves. As for knowledge you only have to ask and seek, abundant knowledge comes, everyone is a genius if they want to be, i know it sounds contrary to normal thought but there is a lot of hidden knowledge in this world, which is a sad revelation. You my friend are my equal no matter what anyone says to the contrary, you are no better than i and no worse than i and we all belong to the great family under the sky, together, there is no such thing as race or countries, we are all one under the sun, different shades of the same thing. Peace and love to all, Thanks.

[@dubiousyet2500]

@@romb1818 Comparison is the thief of joy. We are given a purpose at birth, I hope we find it and that it brings us great joy. As one man's trash is another man's treasure, so does purpose. Rest assured, our death is always equal. No one makes it out alive. Death before defeat, continue singing your song. Fight the good fight!

Rabbi, this is beautiful. Your timing is impeccable. We are going through a key shift in human history. I believe that you're just what the doctor ordered for all 8+ billion of us.

[@MichaeltheGeisha]

I always tell people at work who say they don't wanna be here or they wish they called out, " you do want to be here because you are with us and not alone, be at work so I can work and you can work and we can each do what we need to to work." People don't realise it sometimes but if you have a decent work environment it's worth going to work everyday. There's a rotation of the world that is much greater than each of us and if any of us stop it slows the whole thing down. You find less friends and have less time for family, less time for love..... it can sometimes become too late sometimes. It's so important to try and be part of something even if it's small, it can grow if you nurture it.

[@SaritWorld]

[@seH2i]

I purchased your book Rabbi, Toward a Meaningful Life. Firts I want to thank you for the time and devotion you put in as a scribe to The Rebbe. Second thanks again for your time, effort and design to put the book together. This book is not for the faint of heart Rabbi Jacobson. I began to read it then stopped at page 29 so I could process your gift of wisdom. I can honestly say from a Mystic's point of view the words on those pages not only were photographed by the eyes and delivered to my mind for the undertaking they began a journey as the Hypothalamus chemicalized them into my blood stream then the chemical thoughts latched onto the receptors of my cells. This process is described in Quantum Mechanics as I learned it. I noticed the same day then into the next your words of wisdom that were the accumulation of decades of teachings began to wake that part of my soul which in turn set in motion almost immediately what I could only describe as a Spiritual Awakening, a rebirth. Thank you.

I was brought to tears by this. I feel like I was showered with gifts. I love the divinity in you. You do this so effortlessly that it illustrates your points. The inherent worth of life, your life’s experiences but moreover your effects you have on the world. You spoke for approximately an hour. Definitely not about door knobs. 😂 Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤ I posted this following reply to another thread, but I think it is relevant to school shootings and everything else so I will post it here because it’s useful. I’m transgender so I think the message of that is relevant too ❤ take care, all! Have a blessed day! Here’s the way to slay zombies: There’s one person who has to believe in you. YOU. ❤ If other people believe in you before you do, it’s not really you they believe in. ❤ If you love yourself, and no one can know you better than you, then you are never alone. ❤ We get confused sometimes by the persona our bodies and the world tells us we are. ❤ I am of the opinion that the benefit of being suicidal can be released by understanding that feeling as information about the need to change. Take off the costume life (and your co-dependence-yeah you.) conspired to force you into. ❤ “kill” that. Be you. Openly. It’s extremely scary and risky. I am transgender and it’s like that. But that’s the least of my incongruity. 😂❤ But if you look at the research, transgender people have the highest suicide rate. It’s even higher than soldiers with PTSD by FAR. And I think this is the reason. ❤ If you cannot be you, you are a zombie. No need for a zombie apocalypse. Just be you. ❤ Slay the zombie. Reinterpret what you are feeling. ❤ It’s not easy. But I think you would not feel suicidal without seeing a big misalignment. Don’t be confused by tricky symbolic things. You are not the roles you are forced into by the approval of others. ❤ Don’t let these fake personas eat your real brain. ❤ Literally doesn’t matter how old you are ❤. Your real self is a divine, magical being. ❤

Human Beings used to live in small hunting sized tribes. Everyone was fed via the work of the males, females, eunuchs, the disabled, those with above average sight and those who stood in the field picking herbs and spices, some for the sick, some for the hunters, some for the children and especially, the nursing and nurturing women and others. Inalienable rights include feeding all the people via cooperation with minimal differentiation, caring for the sick, the weak, the dying, the dead and the women who were carrying the next generations. Some hunting sized tribes recognized that women took care of the village, the children and the stability of the tribe were thought of as the matriarchy. Matriarchy or the gifts of women to the trip were honored and stable. Women such as Miriam danced to the glory of the gods of the day. So even the dance of women brought joy and centrality to the tribe.
