welcome to episode two of our balvi
0:10
series the Bas Ali tells us in his
0:14
second unit that like we mentioned
0:18
previously the lack of beon is a sin and
0:22
therefore he says this sin causes one
0:25
Shalom to fall like the
0:28
says
0:32
a person's fear creates a
0:35
trap one that relies on
0:37
hemav will be fortified that means fear
0:42
is a sin and that sin causes a person to
0:46
fool that's a little scary that's a
0:48
little scary that means every time I'm
0:49
nervous about something I'm afraid
0:51
something's going to happen now it's
0:53
going to happen so the
0:56
S calms us down a little bit and says
0:58
we're not referring to the natural
1:01
anxiety the immediate reaction the
1:04
person has but once you overcome that
1:06
initial reaction now your job is to work
1:09
on your bet and that's where you're held
1:11
responsible you hear that siren of
1:15
course your pulse is going to go up and
1:17
you're going to start sweating but now
1:19
what do you do now you're supposed to
1:21
turn your eyes up to Hashem and say
1:22
Hashem you're in charge it was decided
1:24
on R sh and even if it was decided
1:27
negatively I could change the decree by
1:28
relying on you yeah have to work on
1:30
strengthening yourself so this is an
1:32
important concept that worrying is
1:35
really a waste of time we know that but
1:37
the B is adding an incentive and telling
1:39
us that worrying is actually negative
1:41
the fear is going to cause a downfall
1:45
now we can explain this spiritually like
1:47
the BET said the sin of not having be
1:51
causes problems but the maral explains a
1:55
very interesting simple psychological
1:57
approach he says let's say I take a 2X 4
2:00
and I put it on the flooor from one end
2:02
of the room to the other end of the room
2:03
and I say please walk from one end to
2:04
the other room on this 2x4 everyone here
2:07
is capable of walking on a 2x4 from one
2:09
end of the room to the other now I
2:11
decide to extend the same 2x4 from
2:14
outside this building to the building
2:15
across and ask you to walk across and
2:18
most people will start trembling in the
2:20
middle and probably fall off what's the
2:22
difference it's the same 2x4 and the
2:25
answer is when you start getting nervous
2:27
you start worrying and you start
2:31
fumbling and you don't do things as well
2:34
when you're worried so the fear itself
2:36
causes you to fall logically you should
2:38
be able to walk across that 2x4 but the
2:41
fact that you're scared that creates
2:43
problems you want to add a little
2:45
physiology to it we have an amygdala in
2:48
our brain and when we're anxious it
2:50
shuts off your thinking process there's
2:53
a reason for that when you're nervous we
2:55
don't want you to think when a bus is
2:56
coming want you to make a decision
2:58
should I run or shouldn't I run run it's
3:00
called flight or fight it shuts off your
3:02
brain but if we're in a constant state
3:05
of worry and our brain shut off we can't
3:07
make the right decisions and we can
3:09
function
3:11
so man's
3:14
fear will create the problem but when
3:19
you rely on you that creates a fortress
3:22
have a wonderful
3:26
day
