“What is hell? The adjustment. The change. Going from being in a body to being without a body is a drastic change, and there’s a lot of embarrassment. That’s hell. We say ‘you burn in hell’ What burns in hell? Your body? No! The body doesn’t feel anything. Your soul burns? How do you burn a soul? The soul can only burn from shame. (…) There is no burning with fire, with being sliced up and chopped up- that is so not Jewish. Every soul is godly, and a godly soul that did things that were not godly is embarrassed, of course it’s embarrassed. But, you get over it. You move past it. So nobody goes to hell. Everybody goes through hell. (…) It’s not a place at all, it’s an experience.”
I like this discussion here where Manis works up the fact that the Jewish ppl, as prophesied by Moses, would undergo constant genocide by their enemies, which only GOD could protect them from extinction but while they are being kicked from pillar to post the effect is shifting their perspective away from living to accumulate or benefit only themselves. But if you read the article clippings from 1920's you see a clear narrative of how their neighbours were envious over how much GOD had already blessed them with, kind of like when they left Egypt with the family heirlooms of their slave masters. If we pay attention to the chatter after Oct.7, the reason they were so taken aback is bc they were living in relative peace for the last 50 yrs.

RE: Freedom in Relationships | Timothy J. Keller [Galatians 5:13-15,25-6:5]
I get confused as to where Manis gets the word "vina/veena" for beauty is this aramaic rather than Hebrew?
[28:19] Things are what they are bc of their qualities/properties they possess: Chokmah is chokmah bc it is a discovery of an idea. Binah is binah (understanding) bc it is the development of the idea, that's what they are. And the more they are what they are, the more they conflict with each other..
What allows them to get along with each other? [28:50]
When they start to behave not like themselves, but like their source from which they come. When they start to show the intangible truth that preceded them, now they are starting to get along. Now they are blending & melding, which means beauty is not what a thing is, beauty is the result of what it's not. [29:24]
the ethical quality associated with Binah is complete repentance and rectification of flaws: "Just as Binah sweetens all severities and neutralizes their bitterness, one should repent and rectify all flaws." This process involves deep introspection, acknowledging one's errors, and making sincere efforts to improve. By doing so, one can emulate Binah’s nurturing and transformative qualities, bringing wisdom and understanding into every aspect of life.

3302 yaphah: To be beautiful, to become beautiful
Original Word: יָפָה
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: yaphah
Pronunciation: yah-fah'
Phonetic Spelling: (yaw-faw')
Definition: To be beautiful, to become beautiful
Meaning: to be bright, beautiful
Word Origin: A primitive root
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5611 (horaios): Beautiful, belonging to the right hour or season (Acts 3:10).
Usage: The Hebrew verb "yaphah" primarily conveys the idea of beauty or becoming beautiful. It is often used in the context of physical appearance, but it can also refer to the beauty of character or actions. The term is used to describe both people and objects, emphasizing an aesthetic or pleasing quality.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, beauty was often seen as a reflection of divine favor and blessing. Physical beauty was appreciated, but inner beauty, characterized by wisdom and righteousness, was highly valued. The concept of beauty in the Hebrew Bible is not merely superficial but is often linked to moral and spiritual qualities.
[5:27] There was a dream that was Rome's & it shall be realized, as he falls to the ground, Maximus grabs ahold of some dirt. I believe this is his usual act of victory over a new land they have conquered, and it could just be a ritual he repeats like any athlete who believes their lucky shorts gives them the victory.
But then we see flashback after flashback of all the times he has done this same grasping of soil, and suddenly it clicks with what Manis said is man's origin from dust & constant prerogative that drives men to subjugate themselves to objects of the earth rather than to the personal, which is subjective & why it is women who are the ones who are given to developing an idea made through inter-connections, as the help-mate.
This whole idea of men's need to conquer/discover, makes sense of people like Elon Musk & Christopher Columbus who try to go where no man has gone before. Some even have hobbies of climbing Mount Everest which has claimed many a man, but still they risk life & limb to go where many have gone before to their death, which is like the definition of Hell & why adultery also is one of those analogies for Hell as well. And so much about this subject ties in with the concept of walking around with our eyes wide shut, as Stanley Kubrick picked-up on from Isaiah 6:10; Jeremiah 5:21; Ezekiel 12:2; Matthew 13:15; Acts 28:27; Romans 11:8
Isaiah 6:10 [NKJV] “Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return and be healed.”
Jeremiah 5:21 [NKJV] ‘Hear this now, O foolish people, without understanding/heart, who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not:
Ezekiel 12:2 [NKJV] “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
Matthew 13:15 [NKJV] For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I [w]should heal them.’
Romans 11:8 [NKJV] Just as it is written: “GOD has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see & ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
If You Hear THIS…They Will Break Your Heart | Matthew Hussey
Matthew Hussey connotes the excitement of life purpose be it work & connecting it back to dream partnership, sounds an awful lot like a resume/interview pre-rehersed answer, whatever though..
maybe your mad vibes are killing their interest or creeping them out & so they—rather than give you their honest self—will in turn creep you out, not on purpose, but accidentally on purpose. How about that?? But I get it, this is high stakes, so knock-em out early & often.
I find this funny, how anxiety ridden this entire process is, when the focal point should be about getting yourself in the right head space.
I stress the fact that not everyone needs to be attached at the hip to someone else, you can be perfectly happy on your own, so do not start with how they think of you: Start with getting inside your own head & extracting the right conclusion by confronting your past
This is my fav song from this album, and if Abel is consistent with his lyrics & models, then I have to add that I keep getting the sense that he is heartbroken over Selena not necessarily with the one he keeps going back to.. Save Your Tears For Another Day | The Weeknd
The one you first fall in love with makes everything before seem like nothing, as though you woke from a deep sleep, so in the case of Bella Hadid even though they had dated prior to Selena & Abel—it remains as if Selena is the start of every encounter there after. . . logically it makes no sense but to the one who is in tune with the way the heart works it does.
I wonder how all the other women started dating Abel, just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? life of convenience, but I only say wrong bc they weren't the ones who stole his heart.
He is also in a slump around the time Selena Gomez gets engaged or is it just coincidence? Can't tell, I'm not a superfan like the following..
save your tears for another [person] bc this model looks like Bella, if you want to dispute this, I'm up for it bc as I said I am not a superfan who follows his every move.
na-na, yeah
I saw you dancing in a crowded room, uh
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away
You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care
I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
So
I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
And now you won't love me for a second time
I don't know why I run away
Oh, girl
Said, I'll make you cry when I run away
Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another (uh)
I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (oh, yeah)
Save your tears for another day (yeah)
I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away
Save your tears for another day, ooh, girl (ah)
I said, save your tears for another day (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)
This is a supreme superfan, this young man has topped the most detailed breakdown analysis of any single topic thus far & impressed me to the point of reconsidering the relevance of the Weeknd beyond the emotions & lyrics of the music he makes.
