11:59 "Birth is God saying you matter." ~Rabbi Simone Jacobson
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.
@@romb1818 From the perspective of G0D it's all part of the evolution of conciousness. Law of attraction is real btw. All occult schools teach it. It's even in the Kabbalah.
@@Cegorachthelaughinggod What do I say has something to do with what you say? 🤦
@@romb1818 Everything. Even slavery has a meaning. The experience of slavery. Then next life you get to experience freedom.
Being born was the hand of God in my case, cuz I was supposed to be an abortion ! ❤
I hate myself. So I’m very much looking forward to watching this today. Thank 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
My hope for everything good for everyone is a raging fire and never will go dark
Its fills my heart with happiness that you have found the love in your heart to continue to live, and that you have hope for others, have a great day you are loved.
@Daniel Reed Thank you that's very sweet of you❤
Thanks
Sending a Big hug and lots of love.🤗💫💜🌌
Every single video of Rabbi Simon Jacobson is special. Thank you a trillion times!
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.
“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!
I went completely opposite, I valued everyone else's life more than my own
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.
As a very (spiritually) poorly educated and extremely lapsed Protestant, I can only thank you Rabbi Simon, for sharing your wisdom in these podcasts.
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.
we are all born equal, no more or no less, no better, no worse
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.
@@romb1818 equal does not mean same… we are all no more or no less worthy of existence
@@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?
@@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.
@@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!
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.
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
Honey iam very sorry for your loss giving you a virtual love iam very proud of you love from Paris France

This sounds hokey, but it works… look in the mirror every day and tell your best friend how you feel!! I’ve had to overcome decades of living with a narcissist , soul crushing chaos, YESSSS to loving yourself
Dear rabbi thank you so much for sharing God message.
At age 62, nearing 63 really fast...I don't let others pay rent in my head. I am so happy because of this simple thought....in 10 minutes your out of my head and I HAVE GOTTEN it off my chest...WORKs every time....live your life my friends...
This is helpful for trauma survivors! Thank you Rabbi! Thank you Father for my life! May many more be blessed with the messages from Rabbi Simon Jacobson and the MLC! ✨♥️
That’s why when anyone asks me what I’m about I would feel the need to say that I was trying to be a reflection of Gods love on earth because it’s the change I want to see in the world!
Such an important concept for parents to teach
You are a beautiful Soul, so much appreciation for your wonderful work
Thank you, again, Rabbi! 😊
Malleable, is the word, Rabbi.
It feels good to be heard, thank you, Rabbi.
Thank you, rabbi.
I never considered not loving my self as an act of arrogance, it’s a strange pill to swallow. ❤
You make our religion look so beautiful and deep...
Thank you very much for this talk. By far one of the best talk I listened in this channel. A lot of wisdom in 1hour. It doesn't matter if you are a religious person or not, this is for everybody whom is curious about spirituality, different aspect of life and human psyche.
What Rabbi Jacobson says is very true
best rabbi
Appreciate u Rabbi Simon for the self-love sermon. Being a familyless survivor of an absentee holocaust survivor, your sermons & lectures are quite meaningful to me ! 💓
I am so blessed by your wonderful, encouraging words! Thank you and your beautiful wife.😍
Thank you Rabbi Jacobson
✡️🙏♥️🔥
Wish you and everybody here a beautiful day and a great week!! Shavua Tov!!
💪😉👍🎶
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.
... and I love my Rabbi Jacobson!
Thank you. ❤
Condesending is the word..Sometimes its not what you say but how you say it.
Thankyou Rabbi for this message ❤
We're to praise God for our tastebuds!!! So, we don't ever forget WHO FEEDS US!!! AMEN 😅
A soul within a body, thank you so much!
I am not Jewish but I do so enjoy these podcasts. Thank you!
Thank you, Rabbi, for this beautiful and loving talk!
I love my daughter and pray she realizes it amen
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.
You bring me laughter, Rabbi ❤
Your teaching has changed the way I look at myself. I am going to read the Bible... the book of Genesis. I am made in the image of Almighty God. You explained it so well. Thank you Rabbi Simon Jacob.
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you so much Rabbi for all your work. Each talk is like therapy for me.
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.
Thank you. Amazing teaching. 🙏🏻

Thank you Rabbi Simon , I love your way of transmitting so much truthfull information in such a loving simplistic way. I am not of a particular religion. I am looking for God in every place I can. I am soo blessed that I was guided to your podcast. Following you from Toronto. Much love from one Italian born follower
💜🙏💜
Thank you, Rabbi.
I needed to hear this today! Thank you, Rabbi! From the bottom of my heart thank you. May God forever shine upon you and everything you do! May it bring glory to our God!
I've taken my issues with your arguments. But this is beautiful. I comment and delete all of the time. Probably out of some place that you describe. Thank you Rabbi for putting yourself out here. If I may add. We are teaching young people that guns solve problems. They don't an never will
I enjoy listening to this before going to sleep. Thank you.
Vinaka! Greetings from Fiji! God bless!
השם, ריבונו של עלם, ברך אותך בנפש יפה. ָאתה מכבד השם בכך שפותח את נשמתךבענווה ותשוקה, בפני אחרים שימצאו את שלהם ויבינו שגם הם בצלם אלוהים.
בעל ערך, ואהיב. פעם ניסיתי לעזיב את העום הזה. אתה פתחת לי דרך. תודה ראבה. יהי רצין שחייך יהיו מלאים בברכות.

Thankyou so much, you are a hard bastard, but fair & honest, its a good mix really. Love for now.
I love you all!
If your opponent is stronger, strike back at their heart, by flooding their mind with more love.
A moment to be mindful, making good use of matter!
You may still be their enemy, but they are not yours.
The greatest threat became themselves!

If you opponent is equally matched, strike back at their heart, by flooding their mind with more love.

The best offense is to stop fighting, therefore there is no winning or losing, there simply is what needs to be.
Time to let go, friction and stress are not how it was supposed to be!
Vengeance is not ours; what remains is our willingness to start fighting the true enemy!
Shalom
Thank you for your expression of wisdom, wishing for you a lovely day !
Getting there, but not there yet
Loving myself and loving others, is not the problem, it's the not receiving love.
Rabbi Jacobsen,
Thank you for your humility and positive perspective. When my soul craves nourishment I come here. 🙏🌈🩷💫💥
Beautiful words 🤍
I love this man 🤍
Awsome Thank you for all you do. Greetings from Poland.
Thank you for this message.
Love your videos. ❤
The thing I regret the most is, having pain and not knowing what to do with it other than hide and drown it with alcohol. I didn't feel like anyone was competent enough to understand and of course because of that, I bonded with other hurt ppl who also had a poor method of bonding but it was familiar. I always wished I could will into existence an understanding that would break everyone free but I didn't have the capacity. I also didn't know what was out there. I didn't know if one thing worked better for others or if it should even be my choice. But at some point I accepted defeat as a matter of necessity, and accepted that regardless of how I perceived myself, no one would perceive me that way so it didn't matter what identity was attached to me. I liked making ppl laugh but I wasnt a comedian and in all honesty had no desire to be one. It was more personal to me than that. But also not at the expense of humiliating myself which I also did often due to lack of knowledge. I don't think anyone knew what to do and initially I was ok with that. It wasn't until a sense of superimposed disgust came down the line that I began returning the favor up the line
Rabbi you make so much sense.
Thank you very much, Rabbi Simon.
אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי, מִי לִי. וּכְשֶׁאֲנִי לְעַצְמִי, מָה אֲנִי.

Thank you Rabbi
Brilliant! Deep gratitude.
🔯Thank You Rabbi Simon✡️
It varies for me. Sometimes I am pulled down by past treatment as a child. I was told over and over again that I didn't matter. That I was nothing and would always be nothing. 73 and still fall into that tar pit periodically. I know I'm a good decent person but at times I forget this part of me.
Amen. So good to hear thank you.
Great stuff. ❤
Thank you so much for your help and time!
Shalom thank you for your words
Thank You for re-explaining, reminding us of who we are....Be Well

Love your teaching Rabbi. Thank you Sir!
I probably love myself too much,a lot of times God knocks me down a notch😁
Excellent. Perfect and to the point.

Humans survive, thrive and grow in health, mental, spiritual and physical tangible reality by cooperating, collaborating, coordinating, basically sharing and working together.
Thanks
Keep up the good work!! Showing u are searching for the right words only makes u relatable!! You are making a difference.
Beautiful topic.
Thank you, this teaching has been a tremendous blessing to my Soul.
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. ❤
Yr a good guy rabbi
Simon thank you. This was extremely excellent and helpful. God bless you. ❤
