@ddevvnull198, I admire you a lot for being able to love and respect the wise Rabbi. I myself owe the Jewish world an apology: When I was released from prison in 2014, my German gf left me for my younger brother. She had her superficial reasons, and I used the pain that I felt from that to justify saying the most ruthless, cold blooded things about not just Jewish people, but just about everyone, including myself. The other day, in a WM food centre, I dropped my wallet. It did not have much in it, but it had my bank card in it, and some twenties. A young man, maybe no more than twelve, approached me rather jovially, and asked for my name. He pronounced my name with impressive accuracy, and when I steeped forth to see why he was so interested in me, he had his arm extended, and my wallet in his hand. Everything was just like it was before I dropped it. His mother, a beautiful woman, then mentioned the fact that she knew I was struggling financially, and offered to pay for all of my groceries with her card. I did not decline the offer, but when I made it back to my truck I cried more then than I ever have in my life. I do not know who's responsible for the worlds atrocities; 911, The Holocaust, The Com Revolution, Vietnam, Iraq, etc, but I do now know that no matter what, I will see people with a open, loving heart & mind, and embrace them unconditionally if they are kind. Israel is not the worlds most honest nation, and we all know that, but Ultra Orthodox Jewish people who value the concept of man vs woman, right vs wrong, honesty vs deceit, life & death of us all, should not be forsaken because of something that the bad guys are pushing! I sat down, and I accumulated a list of "anti-Israel" people, and the list would shock you. Some of these people are pure scum, and will say and do anything for a fashion statement. The list includes, shock rockers (who brag about animal cruelty and child molestation), pornographers, prostitutes, and other left-wing degenerates. Why would these so called Anti Zionist people, be so sick and twisted? It may not be approved by the late, Adolf Hitler, but Israel is doing something right, for so many crooks and criminals to be advocating against it (Israel). Know what I mean. Sorry for rambling. L/R

I was raised by father who was a self hating Jew, and my mother (her memory be a blessing) taught me to stand up to anti-Semites, whereas my father said, "Never say you're a Jew!" My father escaped Germany with my Zaidie and my Aunt and Uncle. My father was always bitter. My Mother, on the other hand, would tell me, "If a goy calls you a Jew, be proud. If that same goy calls you a dirty Jew, knock him to the ground, Michael." This caused much disturbance between my parents and suffice to say there was no Shalom in the home! I grew to manhood still trying to be that little peacemaker (my mother called me her "Little Aharon"). I won't go on and on but your words have illumined some things for me, and I shall address them.

I also realized that my happiness matters and that nothing outside of me will change. I must change my perception of what is going on around me or keep suffering needlessly.

ITS A STORY ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! The story of David and Goliath, as depicted in the Bible, is often interpreted as a metaphorical battle between good and evil, with David representing the underdog ANTI HERO... HUMANITY NOT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE...fighting against a formidable opponent. When exploring this story through a Kabbalistic perspective and incorporating Neville Goddard's teachings, we can delve into a deeper understanding of its spiritual significance. In Kabbalah, the concept of God is often portrayed as an infinite and transcendent force, encompassing all of creation. The false gods mentioned in this context refer to any limited or distorted beliefs or concepts that humans may idolize or worship instead of recognizing the true divine essence within themselves and all of creation. These false gods can take various forms, such as material possessions, ego-driven desires, or societal constructs that promote separation and illusion. David, in this interpretation, symbolizes the Christ consciousness or the divine essence within every individual. He represents the recognition of one's inherent divinity and the willingness to align with and express that divinity in the world. Goliath, on the other hand, represents the false gods or illusions that obstruct the realization of one's true spiritual nature. Neville Goddard, a prominent teacher of New Thought philosophy, emphasized the power of imagination and the creative capacity of the human mind. According to his teachings, our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality, and by consciously directing our thoughts towards the realization of our desires, we can manifest them in our lives. In the context of David and Goliath, Neville Goddard's teachings can be seen as a reminder of the transformative power of our inner consciousness. David's victory over Goliath can be understood as the triumph of divine consciousness over the illusions of the world. By aligning with the truth of their divine nature and using the power of imagination, individuals can overcome their personal Goliaths, the false gods that inhibit their spiritual growth and fulfillment. This interpretation suggests that the battle between David and Goliath is not an external conflict between two individuals, but an internal struggle within each person's consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and challenging the false gods or limiting beliefs that hinder one's spiritual evolution and the realization of their true potential. In summary, when examining the story of David and Goliath through a Kabbalistic lens and incorporating Neville Goddard's teachings, we can perceive it as a metaphorical representation of the eternal battle between the Christ consciousness within us and the false gods or illusions that separate us from our divine nature. By cultivating a deep understanding of our inherent divinity and harnessing the power of our thoughts and imagination, we can transcend limitations and manifest a life aligned with our true spiritual essence.

Or is it always about them even within their own jobs? Where do you draw the line of selflessness when there's no barrier to someone taking advantage of that?

I was raised with Catholicism, I don’t consider myself a “religious“ person, but I have studied and practiced many spiritual paths. Including Zen, Buddhism Hindu practices (through yoga and meditation), and I also enjoy listening to preachers such as Joel Osteen, or even law of attraction teachers like Abraham Hicks, or gurus like Sadhguru. For some reason, I have always had many Jewish friends and I’ve always found myself living in so-called Jewish district, I currently do in Los Angeles, California. My landlord is Jewish, my best friends are Jewish and I also lived in Jewish areas in London so I’ve always been curious about Jewish culture, however but it’s my first time listening to a Rabbi and really deriving so much presence and value. Thank you so much for your words, your mission, and for sharing your wisdom. I am really appreciating it a lot. 🙏

Useful conversation. I was extremely empathetic as a child, feeling and caring for everyone, my parents especially, myself not at all. And then when I needed to take care of myself, my parents turned on me. I’d always been bullied in our neighborhood, at school, for being quiet and kind. But I was bullied and emotionally manipulated more by my parents - and I had no other adults to defend me. My dad had no friends and my moms friends were in fear of saying anything and upsetting her. My family was back east or in Europe - I saw them only 2x in my life growing up. It was deeply gratifying to hear my uncles scold their baby siblings to get off my back, leave me be, be nice and behave appropriately towards me. Five days in a life. Eventually, because I cared about them but could not live a minute of my own life (criticized gir my looks, my weight, which chair I say in, how I sat, how I walked, every single thing imaginable - with contradictions between the two and fights between them over it. One mocking me for reading and not having any friends, the other mocking me for not reading enough and not reading the right books. Mocked for wanting king hair, so I agreed to get it cut. The other kicking me for looking even fatter in the new hair cut. Yeah - seriously. That was my dad towards me at age 13. My mom got mad bc she’d didn’t good money on that haircut. ) By 13, I was seriously suicidal. I graduated at 17, ripped up a $25000 check from MIT and an invite to attend the school (they were looking to increase the # of female students & reached out to me bc of my SAT scores) and threw it at my arguing parents, agreeing to not pursue college, my life’s ambition. I’d stay home and work as a store clerk and keep my mom company-she needed me around all the time. I really tried to care for their emotional needs. I left upon graduation to kill myself in LA so she wouldn’t be called in to identify the body. Empathy. I got hooked into another needy relationship with someone I later married and had children with. I went to college, despite his efforts to prevent it, and I began seeing a psychotherapist, because I wasn’t out of the woods. I stills cared too much about his feelings and my moms. My dad was the first one I booted from my life. The therapist worked in developing an emotional connection with my Own heart and soul. I practiced saying “I “ statements. “I feel.” I practiced this a lot. Eventually my mom and then my husband got notice. They needed to treat me with respect. Thing is - as you begin to move situational narcissists out of your center primary concern and out yourself there, they retaliate. My mom got sick. Big event in my life, she’s got a bigger one - sometimes even hospitalization. Sounds crazy by a narcissistic friend would do the same thing - ramp things up ridiculously until she can get admitted. Daughter giving birth? Mom/friend has developed some condition she swears is breast cancer - so stop taking care of yourself and take care of me. My mom did that. But I had stopped feeling her pain. I’d lost my empathy. And it was lost for my husband, who had become increasingly abusive, trying to prevent me from holding a job where I could support myself. I finally got the pattern. I had the surreal experience of watching him flip like a slideshow through each tactic designed to spark empathy - one after another. I just watched him morph, until he’d played all his hands and knew he was kaput. They he flipped out, and next day he threatens ti kill me with an ax. I took our two babies and fled. So I’ve raised my kids alone, working in the tech industry - land of Aspies. I’m on the autism spectrum myself, as is my youngest son. He’s been lecturing me tonight on being too emotional. I’ve been working with counselors/therapists when time/money iermitted - and the focus is on being self- centered. I’ve really been working on it - ti be able to react from my authentic self. It’s a survival mechanism. But my employer values empathy. We have weekly empathy training. And it’s really lovely working with kind, emotionally caring people. Im out of tech, into banking. People helping people is our company motto. But my manager got offended by me last year for -kid you not - knowing more about software design (15 years as a database admin/designer will do that). I couldn’t believe it, but 10 other women have left his team in 5 years due to bullying and sexism. He’s a little man with issues. I unwittingly stepped on his toes when I was trying to do my job, and he’s been threatening me for a year. The stress and harassment resulted in me developing a fast-growing tumor in my abdomen that my doctors think is due to his behavior. I’m upset - I don’t want to lose thousands of $$ in retirement benefits by quitting, and I love the company. So I’m angry, and feeling violent towards this mean little man. My son says my emotions need to be mastered. And do this video .. which is a blessing. It reminds me that I’ve grown up and I’m able to return to my empathetic skills. It may have been necessary for me to grow down - down into the self-centered emotional immaturity of childhood that I was denied. But I’m able to true back up into the emotional maturity of empathy and generosity of an adult now. I’ve been attending some of those empathy classes, but I’m still caught up in survival mode. I’m going to more actively get back to who I was. I liked my self back then. I just know now to care first about my needs and then I can care about others. I’m looking forward to practicing that old mindset. I used to ponder the bullies in the neighborhood-what was driving their behavior. They were Aden beaten by their parents and felt jealous, imagining I had a perfect life and must be punished for it. Some have told me as much, as they grew up and were now friends. About my little manager m, there’s nothing I can do to fix his little inferiority complex. I got him to test his new system model with 50 employees - (measure twice, cut once), and it earned a zero passing score. So I got transferred off the design team. When he delivers this thing and no one can use it, he’ll have some people to answer to. And I’ve decided to take care of my emotional health by finding another job in the company rather that get bullied and driven out. I’ll try to be better than the inevitable schadenfreude. I know that’s not every empathetic, but I’m only human.

There are few crosses deeper than highly intelligent and caring at the same time. Add to that an deep understanding of what is taking place and being alone is kinda horrible. As for narcissists, hell yeah, they are world cup at that stuff. They will own you in a minute. They have perfected the game. I think you are an empath and I think you have never been taught how to discipline yourself in how to control it - pretty common stuff as it's what we live by. I have found that the outside world can not be your brace - as much as we wish it could be. Very few people have the courage to step outside that box, stand up and be counted. Very few. That they can't support you when all you need is a gd hug is a horrible thing. but here we are. As for the boss that you are letting kill you - that is what is happening - go over his head and demand this be dealt with or else. My sweet soul, I can promise you that if you do not stick up for yourself, very few others will either. Humans are weak. People expect you to stand up and defend a line - what are they supposed to do if you do not? Draw it for you? You can and must. As for liking ourselves back then - not so much, but we had hope. We had a dream. We lacked the mental discipline to shape it into a reality and if we had that the fear would fix it anyway. You may find a good job lacking in asshats, you may not, that's why trying to deal with this asshat is important. Companies get old and tired - and their profit margin starts to show it. But sometimes there is a bright and willing young exec who sees a future and will work to take that guy's ass out in order to save the company. If you are willing to quit anyway you have nothing to lose by going over his head. If you choose to stay you have to in order to survive. Choose wisely. There will always be bullshi* - I don't care what you do, but it can be mitigated or ignored. Your heart is what needs to heal and you have to stop letting people like him near it while letting it find peace and solice. The light will come on that lets you know that in fact you are the adult in the room and that is fine. There is a spirit there and you are safe. When that happens - I don't know. If it is constant, probably not but it is a moment you can hang on to. You are not alone. In fact, I'll bet most the people here walk with you down this path. Hang onto our arms. :)

Oay-Yay! Noob, Honored. I miss having Shabbat lunch at the Rabbis House, Hebrew lessons with Rabbi's "Moreh" Wife. I was fortunate enough to have a special appreciation impressed on me very early. So when it comes to engaging in any argument, I am always a gentleman, respectful, considerate, kind, honest, objective and modestly humble. Our Rabbi and Moreh always took their audience down to the lowest common denominator and then like divided that by two. And by that I mean the way we were explained words that were in other languages (whatever language that would be,, the more the better, never know from whose country's delegation would be represented at lunch this was the mid 1970's-mid 1980s) Or big SAT words described by pictures or scenes to also define words that way but it was always the repetition of it that also taught us the real power of words. The way he would sing each Torah verse in Hebrew then and with the finest command of our English language translate so eloquently. I remember 1st. understanding him at age 5-6. When he interviewed this then toddler now 55 year old 40 Something. תודה

True, but there's a serious side-effect in that it seems to attract absolutely vile people who think they have the right to trample all over you and you let it happen because maybe they had a rotten childhood or whatever excuse your empathetic nature creates as an explanation for their behavior. Believe me, I have had a lifetime with a narcissist until I managed to salvage my self-esteem and walk away. Empathy has to be for those who have empathy too. Anyone who can slap you when you are sobbing and then threaten you if you dare tell anyone else about what happened deserves no empathy. By the way, he was a spoilt brat as a child. His parents were narcissistic too but they were in it together and then they found a punching bag in silly empathetic me. Never again.

I am a born empath, with the ability to deeply analyze and reflect from a younger age than 2. I am now 60. I heard that it was rare to have memories from infancy but I've met others who remember being in the womb. I had a very high fever with pneumonia at 6 months old. My memories started when I was brought home from the hospital. No trauma, just many beautiful memories before 4 years of age, like crawling around on a quilt, to my first steps at 8 months old to my Dad, learning to eat, how to put clothes on, and observant of every beautiful sense I experienced. Being held and loved by a big family, my senses were very in tune and clear of my surroundings and the feeling of love and safety that surrounded me. I remember what I felt, how I felt and how others felt to me. This can be a blessing or a curse that can heal or kill you emotionally, depending on the life you choose. That said... Helping others and /or self sacrificing too much and too often for others, can and will drain you, especially if they are individuals who are not in touch with their emotions or aligned with their highest best self and are selfish in nature. There's So much more about our minds, bodies and spirits to rediscover, to realign with, and to restore. The Balance that will be world changing; Emotional balance. Without it, we will never grow out of destruction because we will never get out of our egos. Until we collectively reach that level of emotional maturity, we won't be able to reach the emotional frequency that we need to feel in order to Grow forward and therefore, we just continue make things worse, daily.

I am tremendously grateful for your wisdom, Rabbi. Twenty or so years ago, I partnered with a PhD in biology, to give a freshman (1st year) seminar course. at a very prestigious Engineering University in Colorado. Dr. Paul D Ogg, (blessed be his memory) and I developed a behavioral/consequential theory. I believe that our theory aligns positively with you, Rabbi. Our University only admitted the best/brightest, per the Admissions gate. What I, and Dr. Ogg, experienced was the admission's focus on intelligence, versus the real world view of the need to assess a few other dimensions: e. g. inclusion, diversity on all levels of human-ness... Paul D Ogg, or as I called him, "PDogg," which our students loved, and, consequentially, was the name of a porter beer, brewed in his honor, by many craft brewers in the USA after his death. We weren't as succinct, and we could have been more embracing of any theology, but you are spot on. PDogg and I witnessed great IQ freshman engaging in really low EQ behaviors, resulting in harm to themselves and ohers. Thank you, Rabbi.

Wisdom transcends boundaries. I am deeply interested in the work of Ian McGilchrist. He is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist and philosopher. His insights into the world are very similar to the Rabbi’s, yet his path to his views come from different wells of knowledge. He looks at the latest findings in brain lateralisation, explores the philosophy of folk such as Alfred North Whitehead, he is deeply in cognitive psychology yet see the universe as coming into being as we live our lives (that last one is badly explained). He sees four paths to wisdom; reason, intuition, science and imagination. I offer this thought for anyone who is drawn to the Rabbi’s wisdom yet may be grounded in other ‘traditions’. Deep thanks to Rabbi Jacobson for offer his wisdom to the world.

I almost skipped the video due to the click-baity "one neat trick"-style of title but I'm glad I took the time. Thank you, Rabbi. I did have to look up "bittul" though, which you described as "a combination of modesty and humility." If I heard that word in a random sentence I'd most likely be thinking more like "renounce", "reject", "nullify", or even "contempt" or similar. That didn't sound right to me so I looked it up and found that in this context it's more like self-nullification or self-effacement which does indeed fit with your description. I learnt something new today which is always good. Thanks again.

I´ve got lebanese,english,irish and jewish ancestry(it comes from safardit Portugal),but since I´m 14 years,I turned atheist,but whenever I listen to a wise man sharing his wisdom,I´m ´´full´´ thankful what you say quite comes into the mind and into the heart Rabbi.Whatever religion´s someone is,it doesn´t matter or neither religion,what really matters are the the ´´matters´´ of the human beings lives that live ´´alive´´...

Your explanation of this reminds me of an interview where Alex Friedman demonstrated EI outstanding well with his reactions and responses to Kayne West. I’ve rarely seen anything like this interview that Lex gave - he is, as you said, “brilliant in their minds but even more brilliant in their feelings”.

So interesting. Got one huge take away "Suspend yourself while facing others." Cheers, Rabbi Jacobson . Thanks for sharing and all the best.

Dear Rabboni, Thank you for your blessing and blessings in the lecture. Forgive my lack of humility but what you so beautifully describe in emotional intelligence eventually can lead to seeing the Divinity in everyone and everything, bringing emotional intelligence to absolute freedom or submission to God's Will.

I always feel uplifted after listening to you.Raised Catholic; consider myself spiritual but not religious. I look forward to tuning in again some time.

It's great listening to you. When we achieve more emotional intelligence, it will reflect through our daily routine & when it will become our basic instinct, it will guide effortlessly through wrong temptations & trying times.

Thank you Rabbi Shimon! Just spent this past month (Pesach included) in a trip to Sfat and time with family in Seattle - and now about to go home in the Philippines. At this time, your recent Pesach video (among a few others including this one) and Rabbi Nachum Ish Gamzu inspires me with a rejuvenated and renewed consciousness. Grateful for your straightforward and practical exposition of thoughts.

MUST review and rewatch this in order to put it into practice. A few can watch one time and get it. Now on my calendar to review at least 1 time every 3 months. I’ve already heard and understood more by rewatching. Lord, give me patience and emotional intelligence/strength to be empathetic and understanding of others, whatever their walk of life.

When i realize that everyone is at a different level of spiritual development, i have understanding, patience and empathy for the stupid things others do, they havent learned, some are dead inside and dont see the world through the eyes of spirit. I dont need anything but this spiritual understanding to walk this earth with patients, tolerance and understanding.

Yep. I seen the title and being at my end of line for my sanity because of narcissistic abuse for 12 years I can’t even not be provoked to the point if I don’t get a few weeks totally alone with the Lord I’m going to lose it and snap. So I was looking for information about Abraham and ran across this. I will be eagerly listening. I hope it helps me. 🙏 in Jesus name
