Thank you Rabbi, again reminding me that the promise of light will be revealed to me some day of These dark times. Gratitude in these things. I will listen more than once this teaching. Blessings
Thankyou for reminding me today that "As small children do not understand their father's actions, yet they trust him - you should yourselves act likewise". I had to deny my experiences of life from when I was 18mths to 8 years, and split off my character in order to survive. I lived most of my life split off from reality of the present because I did not trust my given father due to him abusing his role as my protector, like the pagans using sex, emotional and physical abuse for his own sense of power and control. After decades of experiencing my non Jewish upbringing, Near Death and Out of body experiences, not knowing my Mom was Jewish and c.30 years of shame and quick fix advice from others about my recovery, I presume that recovery can only come from Hashem alone. "Professionals", religious and otherwise, could not help me. Odd individuals, Jewish and not, and personal meditation davening on my own have given sparks of light so that I can day by day see more and more of the pure light of truth from Torah and Tanach for my daily life, into my personal darkness from childhood. I keep Torah according my child selves who split off to survive each trauma. I now learn to care for others, not to rescue them to prove I am a good man anymore, but with the same measure I can care for all parts of myself.
Thank you Rabbi, May God of Avraham Yitzhak and Ya'aqov Bless you and Your Family B'Shem Yeshua Ha'Mashiakh. Amen 🙏
Deep gratitude! Shabbat Shalom!

agreed.
Just letting you know, out of all of your lessons that I have heard (though, far from all of them) this is my favorite.
