The Protective Power of Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN MAyUMaN

HH

There is a guarantee that Rabbi Nachman of Breslov protects people, especially those who wear Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN MAyUMaN in a kamaya - amulet, or on their clothing and so forth, and by saying this, his special name Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN MAyUMaN.

So how is it that there are people who have suffered and even were killed despite wearing the holy kamaya.

One strong answer can be found in Likutay Moharan 143, Rabbainu reveals there a special benefit of gaining the advice of the tzadik, see there at length. Rabbainu explains once a person received and fulfilled the holy advice - then, if something goes wrong he will no for certain, that was HY's will! It wasn't his error or fault, it was Divine Providence. 

Similarly with the saving power of Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN MAyUMaN, a person can be wearing and invoking this incredible power, and then he will see what HY desired to do with him, it can be his time has come to leave the world, his real time, and since he was under the wings of NaNaCh it will be known and certain, that it was his time. But without Nanach, who knows why he was struck GF, was it his sins, was it the enemies power, was it a fluke accident or who knows what else.

Understand the difference, it is the profound difference between good and evil, faith and abandon, truth and falsehood, security and wantonness.

תורה קמג

גם אם מקבל עצת הצדיק, אף שאחר כך לא עלתה לו יפה מעצתו, אזי יודע שהיה רק מהשם יתברך. אך אם לא היה מקבל עצת הצדיק, היה אפשר שתגיע לו רעה בלי גזר דין של מעלה, רק שהוא בעצמו משך על עצמו, כמו שכתוב (משלי י"ט): "אולת אדם תסלף דרכו ועל ה' יזעף לבו". אך אם קבל עצת הצדיק, יודע שהוא רק על פי משפט שלמעלה, עכ"ל.

בזה יישבתי הענין שלפעמים אנשים שהולכים עם הקמיע של נ נח וכדומה, ואף על פי כן ניזוקים ואפילו נהרגים ר"ל, וכן לענין כח השמירה של ספרי רבינו כמבואר בחיי מוהר"ן שנה, שכמה פעמים שמענו על נסים שכל הבית או רכב נשרף חוץ מספרי רבינו, אבל איך לא שמר הספר את כל הבית. וק"ל.

וע"ע חיי מוהר"ן שטו ז"ל ואפלו אם הוא גרוע יותר מבתחלה, אם הוא מקרב לצדיק האמתי ההתקרבות בעצמו הוא טוב בלי שעור וערך (ואם לא היה מקרב להצדיק היה גרוע עוד יותר ויותר), ע"כ וכעי"ז בין אדם לעצמו בספר המידות ערך צדיק קצח.

Miracle of the holy books in Adumim - the terrorist is neutralized before she can harm anyone!

HH

Two days ago I learned of a "book swap" that is going to take place in Maaleh Adumim tomorrow (Wednesday 11-7-2018). So I contacted the organizer and told her that the Nanach would like to contribute the English Breslov books we have and bring them to her in Adumim - even though I knew that it was Maaleh Adumim but I didn't know how to spell Maaleh in English and I didn't want to even think about it so I just wrote: Adumim, and she was like, "Why would you want to give book away for free?" So I told her that B"H after she reads them she'll be on the same page as us. Anyhow she called them up, and yesterday she wrote back to me that one guy said he couldn't deliver, and gave her the number to someone else who didn't speak English, so it wasn't going to happen. So I wrote back that there is no despair in the world whatsoever and maybe I can get her the books, but it looked pretty bleak. So this morning I went on the whatsapp group and wrote to the Nanach that they should raise 50-100 shekel to deliver the books. And they responded that B"H one of them had already made the special trip to deliver them!

Shortly thereafter we learned in the news that an arab woman terrorist had brought a knife to Adumim to attempt to stab people, may the Holy One Merciful Gd save us, and miraculously the soldiers detected it before she could do any damage and shot her.

Who knows perhaps this was in the merit of the holy awesome books of Rabbainu Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman that we delivered to Maaleh Adumim, and we considered it simply as Adumim, so the Almighty also extended their protection to all of Adumim.

[All of this I wrote extremely succinctly to our new friend in M.A. and she replied that it is in fact a miracle that the books were delivered to her]

Cover up – dress modestly

HH

There are many good reasons why a person must dress modestly cover up their whole body, but today one of them really hit home, as I found myself in a dressing room with a very large flying cockroach, quiet disgusting, I seriously did not want that thing to touch me. Now imagine you were able to see all the demonic entities that surround us (this is actually even in the Talmud not just the Kabballa), and all these beings are parasitical, wishing to draw energy and power from us (if I recall correctly, in the movie the Matrix the people are actually imprisoned in their fantasies so that their energy can be harvested, there’s a lot of truth to that). The clothes form as a barrier which prevent and deny them access, and these things actually wear out the clothes. Previously on this blog (maybe just in Hebrew) I brought from Rabbi Moshe Dovid Walli, a senior Sage in the Study Hall of the Ramchal who authored a commentary to most of the Scriptures, and on the verse which says that during the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple the people were told not to change out of their clothes at night, and RMDW explains that this was so that the evil realm would not be able to suck and draw nourishment from the briefly unprotected bodies. Clothes are the vessels for the highest levels of our souls and spirituality which are too lofty to be confined in our bodies and remain as makifim – periphery surrounding presence which guard us and protect us.

This is with regard to men, if a woman even needs to think at all about covering up then she is probably exempt from the Torah with the plea of insanity....

Undressing

HH
In the book of Nehemiah we are told that when they rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem they did not change their clothing at night. Rabbi Moshe Dovid Valli explains that the clothing are ohr makifim encompassing sheilds and therefore at times of danger, like at war, one should not forgo their protection even momentarily to change into other clothing. He proceeds to ask if that is the case, why do we ever change it night into pajamas and leave ourselves vulnerable? He answers that it is similar to the concept of mayim achronim (water at the end of the meal to clean the hands) which gives residual sustenance to the realm of evil thereby pacifying it with a tiny tribute.

It is a segula (propitious) to read this Torah portion to chase away the impure spirit (Sefer Hamidos - Character - Klipa 10).

7:1 בֹּא אַתָּה וְכָל בֵּיתְךָ אֶל הַתֵּבָה: Go, you and all your household to the ark.
