The Spirit of Prophecy at the End of Times

 HH

Scripture says (see e.g. Joel 3:1) that at the end of days HY will culture a spirit of prophecy in the world so that even the children will prophesize. It seems to me that this began at the same time as the advent of tv and movies, all the venues of the make believe, of the imagination and fantasy, settings of day dreaming, these are all parallels corelating to putting one's mind in the spiritual realms. And now with the advent of the meta world, and idea which really became strong with the movie of the matrix, and is now becoming more of a (false) reality, this is a sure sign that such a thing can now readily be achieved in holiness, the portal is now becoming accessible to actually live in a spiritual reality of absolute rapture.

May we be saved from what we need to be saved from, and merit to what we can merit.

24

HH

You might have heard that there's a tv show called 24 which as its name suggests non stop intensive imagination and day dreaming for 24 hours. The Rosh Yeshiva of the show is Harav Hagoan JB. So the big question is how can such a great rosh yeshiva go 24 hours without praying or learning a word of Torah?! So some people are quick to assert that obviously JB is a goy. But this is hard to accept, that the safe fantasy of the entire world is dependent on a goy?! So the real answer is that the halacha is that one who is "oasaik bitzurchay tzeeboor," (involved in attending to the needs of the public), and all the more so if he's involved in "peekuach nefesh" (saving life), is exempt from all prayer and learning! Now even still it is almost not possible for any Jew, and most certainly a great rosh yeshiva to go completely without prayer and Torah for a full 24 hours, no matter what they are involved in, but here we see the great mesiras nefesh (-self sacrifice) of hagoan hurav JB!!!

The producers  however, took this into consideration, that there would be in the future binge watchers who might get so pulled into extending themselves into the make believe that they would also deem themselves exempt from all prayer and Torah, so they condensed each episode which portrays an entire hour -  to 43 minutes, affording the watcher 17 minutes to grab some Torah and prayer. Unfortunately many have paskenned (ruled) for themselves that just watching the holy JB is like learning Torah (G"f), and their prayers for him as they are caught in the drama of the fantasy pass for real prayers.

If one merits to use those 17 minutes in the most productive way - that is - to sing Na Nach Nahcma Nachman MayUman he may break out of the whole seduction of the emptiness of the make believe and never watch any tv again his whole life, amen.

Whimsical Fantasy of a Guy Beating Temptation

HH

Imagine

A guy is tested, so he turns to the Evil Side and says, if I am going to sin G-d forbid, let it at least be with someone beautiful, so the Evil Side obliges, leaving him alone for a bit until shortly thereafter he proceeds to challenge the guy by means of an extremely beautiful woman. So the guy turns to HY and says, such a test with such a beautiful woman is worthy of a true Torah sage, how can a simple person like me stand a chance? So HY acknowledges his argument, and holds of the temptations of the Evil Side for a bit, while he super expedites the guys total mastery of the entire Torah, where upon the guy is again faced with the challenge of the Evil Side. So the guy turns to himself and says, such a Torah scholar and such a successful escapee, certainly it does not become me to fall now. And the guy prevails.

End of Story.

Gain perspective

HH

In Proverbs it says “In all your ways know Him,” Ruvuh said (Brachos) this refers even to endeavors of sin. Many commentaries have elaborated on this. Here I will present one practical approach. Even when a person is convinced that he needs to do something wrong he should approach it with the intent to do good. For example, a person might feel that he needs to watch a movie or television, even though he knows that this is the epitome of the sitra-achra (-evil realm), for Rabbainu has revealed that today the main affair of the sitra-achra is imagination and fantasy. The actual world we live in, our holy sages have already made clear that it is all a façade, and they tried to share with us how to live the true reality of the Torah. However television and movies further enshrouds the world in layers of void and emptiness that subject a person to live in wishy-washy paradigms of delusion. All of this a person knows, and yet he might still need his fix, he might not be able to just break out cold turkey. So the aitzuh (-recourse, advice) is that before he sits down in capitulation, he should make a little disclaimer, and say a few words to his Creator. Let him turn to HY and express his intent, that even though he knows that he shouldn’t be watching this, even still in order to give himself a well needed break from the stresses of the day and all the responsibilities weighing upon him, he feels that this is what he needs, and by watching this he will be able to unwind and regain his breath and strength to get back in their etc..” With this little rejoinder a person will gain eternally, for just the fact that he spoke honest heartfelt words to HY is precious beyond measure, and also now he has steered himself to actually strive to accomplish good objectives, and maybe even he will come to conclude that to reach this clear objective he is better off watching a different show, something more educational and softer on the soul, and in the future he will definitely slowly aim to achieve his stated objective in a better, holier fashion. He will avoid watching shows that are just frivolous and licentious, and he will avoid shows that have vulgar language which completely destroys all holy boundaries and brings death and destruction, may the holy Merciful One save us. He will start to only watch shows that he can find in them some justification and purpose. Eventually he may merit to wean himself off the tube completely B”H.

Watching TV and movies is like playing dolls

This I heard in the name of my late uncle R. Noach Weinberg of Aish Hatorah.

This seems to me very attributable to rabbis.... Personally I would say that it is like daydreaming, and we need Na Nach to fix our imagination and fantasy - as revealed in Likutay Moharan volume 2 Torah 8.

Hypocrisy outside from inside

HH
Many are astounded at the sheer ludicrous conduct of the haters of Israel. Like the U.N. deciding that the Western Wall isn't Jewish, their support of an education which is full of hatred and incitement, and putting Suadia Arabia at the head of women's rights!?.

And similarly so many other things, like the leftists strong advocacy for Islam, when according to Islam they would be slaughtered.

How do such crazy policies have any standing whatsoever?!

The answer is that it is empowered by everyone on their own personal paradigm. When people do not live the truth they invite the world to run in a similar hypocritical fashion.

Among many ultra right they sing the final words of Samson - I will avenge my eyes from the Pilishtim/palistinians - with so much fervor and excitement, even as they are falling in the very mistake which was the downfall of Samson - he went after his eyes (as revealed in the Talmud). This highlights the point of this post. The entire fantasy and flimsy imagination of the tv, movies, media is this power which is bringing down Israel, and to combat it Israel needs to get out of its bondage, and strengthen in truth and reality, real reality of Torah. But as long as people are still slaves to the aforementioned fantasies, they empower the world to follow suit on the global level. Even as the people are astounded and amazed at falsehood and hypocrisy, it is being fueled internally by they themselves.

The ward for the insane

HH Rabbainu said that now we have to call the yetehr hurah (evil inclination) something else, that it "dimyoan" (imagination/fantasy), at that moment the root of the modern day acquittal of pleading insanity was planted. Previously there was no such thing, someone who committed a crime especially an atrocity would be summarily executed, all of the sudden today we are making differentiations - that is what Rabbainu introduced.

Many if not most of the rabbis today, I think it would be rash to simply call them evil, Rabbainu revealed that they have an enormous inclination to rule, they almost don't have a choice in the matter, in other words they are deluded to the extent that they would be sooner sentenced to a crazy ward than being convicted of purely evil intent.

What are they even thinking, putting their stomachs into the equation? When we have true tzaddikim, especially Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me'Uman who transcended any paradigm familiar to us, we have absolutely no inkling of an idea of their greatness, what they achieved, what they comprehended, what they revealed, the suffering they endured continuously, etc. etc.... And then along comes some bright rabbi and takes the masses under his delusions...

These rabbis are not just the cause of the exile, they are the exile! The exile of the daas (holy realization of knowledge).

Overcoming fantasy

HH

This guy would fantasize that a certain someone would do certain forbidden things with him. Then he confronted this fantasy: How would he allow and empower this certain someone to bring him down? The object of his fantasy is in reality so puny, and he is letting it rule over him!
