God leaves just enough uncertainty for free choice to exist, and just enough truth to guide your next step.

The speaker emphasizes that excessive probing and seeking perfect certainty can sabotage success, using the biblical story of the spies who doubted God's promise about Israel. They argue that people often focus on minor details or "hinges" when doors of opportunity are already open, leading to missed chances and self-sabotage. The key lesson is to act with faith—"believe it to see it"—rather than demanding proof first. Unresolved trauma must be cleared before major decisions, otherwise individuals will project insecurities and find problems where none exist. God deliberately leaves room for doubt to test faith, but one's focus determines outcomes: seeking doubts brings more doubts, while seeking truth reveals it. Courage is acting despite fear, and without faith, even religious traditions become hollow. The speaker warns against over-calculating decisions, as this leads to indecision and regret. Movement and effort are signs of genuine belief; laziness and hesitation reflect a lack of trust. Ultimately, clarity comes after commitment, not before, and one must plow forward with courage to experience growth and divine assistance.

Good morning, welcome to today's class. Today's class is in the success of Hanna, Bassisraub and also for Esther, Bassara, that you have success and everything they do. I mean also the Qutay, also the success of Gadi Al-Nushev, and the Sheph-Sheph-Sheph-Sheph-Sheph-Sheph-Sheph- and the Luñshma Yohmiyad-Yahin-Diyanyu-Ping-Dagisraub. Please share it with the podcast, obviously also the book Surrenders out. We have to take it off and on, whoever also wants the book sessions, I might have some abilities next week and it's www.giddal-francester.com. Long story. Long story. Today's class is an incredible, incredible concept and this is something that we're all dealing with practically today. We had to make a decision. How do you know when you get the inner doubts and excited. It's such an important important message and it's exactly what happened with the spies. Exactly with the pies. I'm going to take a lesson from Partial Shalakh, and it says, "Since how long. " the Post says, "how long will they not believe me?" The thing comes. It says, "how long will they not believe me?" "Since the spies are desire to probe too much, God gave them an ample opportunity for error. OK?" You're in a relationship, you're in a business, if you probe too much, you're going to get a chance to error. Sometimes in life you have to just go. You have to see it to believe it, instead of believe it to see it. I'm sorry, you have to believe it to see it, instead of see it to believe it. As Shem says, "I told them the land is good, but still they didn't want to believe me. They wanted to check out for themselves." And it's almost like, you know, God opens up the doors in our lives and you're looking at the hinges. Yeah. The door's open. What are you looking at the hinges for? You understand? Yeah. This is the perfect business for you. What are you looking at the details for? And you see so many times things. Doors are open and people are. maybe the hinges are going to fall off. Open the door. Get the hell out of here. Open the door. Make a decision. But if you probe too much, if you go too much into the details, you're going to find out. That means your level of certainty is so, so important. And this is exactly what happened. The essence of the land of Israel is nothing more per the moon. There's no logic in the land of the earth's Israel. Everything about earth's Israel is nothing but a moon. But yet the spies they wanted to see it, they wanted to see it. Seeing is believed. They wanted to see it for themselves before they go. And this is exactly where they're erred. Because they set themselves up for the failure. Instead of believing in the land going all in and what happens if not, they ended up seeing the opposite. Said men before. They wanted to see to understand the truth immediately according to them. God gave them plenty of permission to error. And what happens is they ended up because of the low self esteem. They said that we're grasshoppers before them. So we could see it's hard and important. You have to be careful. The most important thing before you get into relationships, before you get into business, before you get into, you must clear out trauma. You have to clear out trauma. If you don't clear out trouble, you're going to have open doors and you're going to look for hinges. You understand? You're going to look for sabotage 101. I see this 101 sabotage. The inner work before you get into another relationship, before you jump into any business, make sure you clear your trauma. Go take mushrooms if you have to. Go jump and go go go go do with how you got to do. Just clear out the trauma. Get rid of the garbage. Get rid of all the stuff. Get rid of all of this because otherwise you're going to find problems when there's no problems. And that's the problem. And that's the problem it's help. And this is what I've seen this so many times. Clear out all the time. Spend disappear for a month. Get out for Instagram. Get off a TikTok. Do what you have to do. Disappear. Spend some time alone and clear out all these traumas that you have to and turn them into wisdom. And how do you clear out trauma? Very believe, believing that everything you have to go through to the best. But the main thing is you can't look at the future from the lens of the past. So they were insecure. They were insecure. Even though God made 100 miracles for them. And instead they fell straight into the trap of the doubt. And this is something that we all go through. If you look for doubt, you're going to find that. If you look for the truth, you're going to find the truth. That's the question. This is however look what he's saying here. We have to understand this is the way God runs his affairs with great mercy. He constantly involved the bringing people closer to him with all kinds of methods. Yet at the same time God has to give you. He has to give you some room for doubt. In order to test you and to elevate you for a very short. So at the same time he gives you the clear path, but he can't give it to you 100%. He's got to give to you 60%. But your job is to overcome the other 40% and say I have certainty this is for the good. And this is where the splitting of the sea, going to the land, going when we over probe too much, when you overlook too much, when you become too much into the details, you lose the whole concept of a moon out. However, if a person is looking for excuses to free himself from responsibilities, God's going to give you plenty of room for that also. If you want to get out of the relationship, he's going to help you get out of the relationship. If you want to get into the relationship, he's going to get into it. It's wherever you want to go, you are helped. That's the bottom line. Wherever you want to go, you want to go to a to recovery to rehab center. God's going to help you. You want to go to the casino? He's also going to help you. He's going to help you whatever you want to go. That's the problem. But if you're looking for too much details and too much evidence, you're going to fail 100 times. This is where sometimes you have to, you have to just go all in. You have to just go all in so liberating. Who cares? It's about the details. At the end of the day, who cares about the air? You're going to learn on the way. That's why I tell people all the time. Don't be too calculated. Make a calculatorist, but don't be too, too, too calculated because you're going to find plenty of that. This is exactly what he's saying here. If a person is looking for excuses, he will find excuses. But if he, and this is exactly where they failed. Not only did they fail, but they ended up failing the mission of lacking growth and they cried for no reason. This is what Tishaba represents. You cried for no reason. I told you to go into it. But what happens? You overproved. You looked too much into the details. You became insecure. This is almost the reverse concept today of the "This Missed The Messenger." You understand? The messenger was, you have plenty of chance to go through. But what happens? They didn't believe it was for the best. They didn't think they're creator. They became victims. They cried for no reason. And God doesn't like, He doesn't like, He doesn't like self-pity. When a person is sitting, you're crying over not taking growth in life, you can't enable them. You have to get the hell out of this state. What are you doing? If you act like a grasshopper, I understand, you're a grasshopper, I follow the grasshopper. Get the hell out of the house, stop being a grasshopper. You can't enable people when they're acting like grasshoppers. You have to tell them, you have a sink or swim in life. This is exactly what Hashem wants. He wants you to jump in. Every single time you jump in with faith, that's a solution. That is a solution. But if you're too careful, I need to see it to believe it. You see it or not. How much do you need to see? You have to be able to take calculated risks. The spies didn't lack the evidence. They lacked the courage. Courage is the ability to be able to do something even though you're still afraid. This is where God leaves just enough room for uncertainty. But when you focus on the doubts, He's going to give you plenty of room for the doubts. But when you focus on the truth, He will give you the truth. The question is not, is not, do you have enough proof? Do you have enough truth? Remember that line. It's not, do you have enough proof? Do you have enough truth in this situation? That is a message that we have to go through all day longs because we know what the reverse of this is. You're going to cry for no reason. I'm crying because I never got married. I'm crying because I never opened up the business. He gave you plenty of evidence to do it. You should have gone in. So what if you failed? You do it again. You learn again. You get a PhD and you go again. At least you keep on moving. But he gave you enough and plenty of evidence to open up the business. You're looking for doubts. You're looking for the hinges instead of the doors open. And that's something that has nothing to do with God. God wants to give. He wants to give. And you need to understand that if you don't have this attitude of, I'm going to believe it. And then I will see it afterwards. This could be the biggest cause of trauma. This is why when you teach just tradition. And you don't have a moona in a person's life. It's worthless. I'm talking to traditional Judaism's worthless. If there's no moona, what's the big? So okay, the pe apple. How do you blow the shop bar? You show up here. You show up there to one event. You have that at the end of the day. So this traditional or even with no emunah, this that's it. There's nothing, nothing insists. Religion without emunah is worthless. It will not go anywhere. And you see many miserable people. Unfortunately, they lack emunah. They lack emunah. Because when you have emunah, you can, you can be resilient. You could plow through challenges. You have courage. When you don't have a moona, you have it. And this is exactly what David Hawkins says. First, you have to get from fear to courage. Courage is an old is the ego. There's no longer engage. After courage, you get to trust. So we start from fear. Then you got to get to courage. After courage, then you get to trust. But you have to pass through that courage. Courage means I'm going to do it, even though I'm still afraid. Even though I'm going to still be afraid. And this message I'm telling you right now. It is over and over your life. It's going to be over and over the same message over and over again. And I think the differences between people who are there, they're willing to take that plowage and not care what people think and live for themselves instead of living for other people. Who cares if you live with people? You need self pity or you need straight. And this is such an important message. So again, God gives us enough. He created the way that He creates the world as He created it. They're not over Simpson. We've created a contraction of light. So we have the ability to have free choice. But at the same time, it can't reveal to you the answer. You're the answer comes and success comes based on your action. And again, when you don't take chances, when you're not growing, you're automatically going backwards. If you look at the whole issues with the spies, their main issue is they don't want to lose their position. They didn't want to lose their position. They didn't want there was insecurities there. So if you could see also, when you're insecure, you don't want to take these positions because you don't want to get hurt again. This whole thing is a major psychological movement if we have to go forwards. And this is where the land was entered through Amuna, not through reassurance. Also, how much reassurance do you need? The answers come when you go forwards. And if you're not going forwards, you automatically going backwards. And this is where the proof of Amuna, if you look at Rodas Rubinachman, says Amuna is faith is, there is a result, movement, movement, not agreement, movement. If you're taking movement in life, right? Abraham Avina, who woke up in the morning, saddled his donkey, right? For a person believes that he's going to get a great shape. He shows up to the gem, not like a tourist, like a whale after. You understand? Movement is a sign of waking up in the morning early. That's a sign that you believe that they can change. You can create today. Over sleeping is a sign of laziness. Laziness is a lack of Amuna. So anytime there's low effort, anytime there's laziness, this is a sign of lack of faith. A lack of faith after lack of faith comes earth. What comes after earth? Depression. Depression. So either we're swimming or we're sinking. It's not set up the other way. And this is exactly what Tisha Bav is all about. It's about morning. You had enough details, but you're looking at them. You're overlooking the hinges on the door. Those are wide open. This is where 80% of the people, instead of leaving Egypt, they went right back. But again, you need to have the courage to take the next step. It's such an important thing. Enough. You have enough evidence. You have enough details. You already called the attorney. You already did this. It's enough. And I tell people all the time. You have enough evidence to go forward. But how about this? This can go wrong. Again, you have enough evidence to go forward. You're never going to get 100% certainty. What you're asking for is to remove free choice from your life. Then what do you need your creator for? What do you need your creator for? The uncertainties where magic happens. That's where you actually are actually making muscle. You're grinding the moon a muscle in the uncertainty. So this was a perfect example. How people would rather find excuses than make adjustments. This is the way our brain can't stand anything new. Our brain hates anything new. Our brain can't stand anything uncomfortable. And you need to understand that your brain is not there to make you happy. It's a survival mechanism. But that's not supposed to be used for every day. It's supposed to be used when you get somebody's running a rocket running after you. You get me? Or a tiger or whatever. But it's not to be used on a daily basis of making decisions. It's used to be used danger. But if you say everything's danger, then that's you're going to over stimulate your mind and et cetera. So when you want to understand first, when you want to feel first, and when you want to see results first, then to commit, you're going to lose. We commit first, then we understand. That's why you first need to make effort, you need to take a chance. Listen before I got into Roman Athens teachings. There was no revelation. There was no commitment. Commitment, commitment, learning, learning, learning, no light, his bodhidu. The first time I did his bodhidu, six months of no, I couldn't, it was like talking to the wall. It was like talking to the wall. And I got after six months, it all came. I'm trying to explain to you, there's just going to be this test period where you're going to do everything. You get nothing out of it. You're going to get absolutely nothing out of it. And that's exactly the test to see, are you doing it to the right reason, or are you doing it just to receive? And once you plow through that, then you get everything. Then you get everything. And this is where only afterwards you will go to understanding. This is exactly what the Quran is playing. The Quran is playing the spires, they wanted to see the land. But God is telling them, Israel is a Mona. Israel is a Mona. The whole war in Israel is a Mona. Everything is a Mona. There's no certainty, there's no logic, there's no guarantees. There's nothing. You can go to Israel, you're even if you're going to make it there. Right now, you want to go to the gate, you're going to go to the close, the airport, open up the airport, open up the port, close the port. Nothing is guaranteed today. But you can't also live too much safety, because then you're not going to go anywhere either. So that's not an option. So the other option is courage. But if you live in safety, you're automatically, you're not going to grow, and you're going to have nothing but depression. So we have to go forwards, and you have to stop looking for too many details. And this is something about the Scorpio Stankad, that Shema gives us resilience. We just, we've got, we plow. Boom, let's go. And then we'll figure it out afterwards. Right Sagittarius also. But earth signs are very calculated, right? Are too much calculated. Sometimes the Libras need too much calculation in decision-making. Okay, long, you're going to be an indecision. Remember, the clarity comes after the decision. So stop looking for, stop looking for details. Look for the truth. Okay, Shema, give me the truth in this situation. I don't need to ever, I need the truth. And this is where the more one gives, the more one sees. What is giving? Faith. Giving is faith. Giving is faith. You have to first take, you have to plow first. So, you know, a business. I want to guarantee income. Many people tell you, you have a business that's low risk, 25% return. Yeah, that's what people sell businesses for. TenX multiples. What do you think it started? That means the reward of you taking a business and making it profitable. And creating sell, that's where you get 10 times on a price earnings ratio. That's how you sell a business. You don't start a business like that. You start a business that's complete nothingness. And then once you get it to that model, then the reward is, you get to sell it 10X. You understand? You don't get it like that. You have a perfect person. No, we built. You build a business for that. So, but people are looking for already the built business at one time multiple. And it's just a delusional thing. It's a delusional mindset and thinking and et cetera. And I think this is definitely a situation and dating today. You know, you got 70-80% certainty. That's good. That's enough. You're going for 90-100% in 95% certainty. You know, when you're spending like a dreidel itself, how much inner work did you get even to get you to know what you want in life? It's too much fear. And this is where you could see people are lacking courage. They're lacking the courage. And this is why they're not. And then they're going to cry for no reason. How many times do you hear people here? I should have gotten married. I should have gotten this. They're crying for no reason. You're going to cry. And I'm going to give you a reason to cry about. You hear that here? I'm going to give you a reason to care about. So I want you to start thinking about things that you have held onto. That you're not going forward. That you've had enough evidence. I'm telling you, writing my first book was a complete mind confusion. Any time I left room for confusion, that's it. I'm not a care at all of the time. Bad minds wherever you go is your mind will focus there. You want to go buy a red car? You will see red cars there. You will see tons of red cars everywhere before you haven't seen a red car in months. Right? You want to see a green car? It's the way your mind focuses on. I'm looking for the truth. God will show you the truth. Right? He will show you tons of doubts. So it's not that the other person, because remember, the other person in life is reflecting what you have. You have fear. They're reflecting also the fear. It's amazing. It's amazing how they're reflecting the exactly. That's why people, men specifically, must lead. Must lead and create a path of certainty. If the man is confused, then what do you think the woman is going to be? She's just going to be. She's a reflector of him. Men have to lead with that clarity of clarity. There's nothing greater than having clarity in life and having the confidence and resilience. I mean, clarity that I have enough evidence. I'm going to go forward, et cetera. This is where you don't need more proof. You don't need anything. You need to ask us for the truth. And if he gives you, if you ask for the truth, he'll give you the truth. But if you're looking for fear of what are people going to say, what are people going to say about me? Then you're going to get plenty of that also. You're going to get plenty of that also. And this is where all they, what did they see? They saw monsters. They see giants, right? That's what was purposely creating the giants. So they were able to see the land. They had a funeral. But they saw, wow, these places full of giants. And they also, what did they see? Big ribs. So they saw exactly the projection of their own fears. It's exactly what happened. If you look at my 10 steps that I do, they didn't believe it was for the best. They didn't think I shan't for it. They did the exact opposite of the 10 steps. Instead of getting rid of the fears, they created bigger fears, right? They didn't like the form of it. The way it was happening. They didn't like the timing of it. And they didn't walk around like they were deserving of the land. They walked around completely, completely fearful. So this is where you can learn the whole purpose of learning and learning Torah. And we think that ourselves, and ask for the truth. Because why God is close to a person, is close to him in truth. But the question is, do you really have the truth? A lot of us are holding two different things. We want to hear it. We want this, but we also don't want it. Right? We want to be married, but we want to be single-to. We want to be in great shape, but we don't want to have the work ethic of a calorie to deficit diets. We don't want it. We want to eat twinkies and pump the fire at the same time. That's called the vessel with no rats on. That's called the vessel with no desire. The desire is a confused desire. And when you have a confused desire, Then you're gonna end up looking for the excuses. You're gonna find evidence for it not to work How many people tell you I'm dying for a job. Give me a job. Okay, come. I have a doctor's appointment You have three you're unemployed for three months. You couldn't go to the doctor three months You don't want to you don't want to work and the story you make the doctor's appointment the first day So you can get fired so what are you doing? You don't want a job? You need to see a psychologist not a doctor So why you ask me for a job in the first place if you're not going to willing to work So this isn't this is something where Runaqun says It's got nothing to do with God God remember You need to understand two things The pusset says I God do not change I God do not change number one I God do not change Number two got creates the world in order to give He's creating the world in order to reveal his abundance and through give And he gets pleasure from giving as long as there's an appetite So if he doesn't change and he's constantly wants to give as long as you have an appetite When people I'm angry at God Be angry the dynamic in decisions What do you angry at God for? For God I God do not change God reveals to us the way we reveal to him if we live in a Mona he's your king of K if he's not he's a little king What is it? What is it? What is it with anything? What are you angry at God for? I'm angry at God. I'm the God that got abandoned you abandoned yourself He gave you a free choice you look for too many details and you didn't you didn't go forward What it's what I mean? I'm angry at God It's your view of God. This is the problem. It's your view of God that that's the problem God is nothing more but ains off There's no there's no nothing else but ains off Ruf Kuk says God is ains off But he will always wants to give us the highest level good as possible So this is where stagnation is not a concept of life when you stagnate when you're when you have stagnation Just like an infection grows when blood is not moving if nothing is moving if blood is not moving is there is no flow It's going to end up becoming toxic if there's no movement in your life. You're automatically going down Even today if a person if a person loses he loses a muscle mass every year So if you're not working out and putting a muscle you're losing it automatically every year you're losing it You're losing it a certain age you start losing it. I mean see it's not that's not you don't just guarantee to get it If you're not getting pulling that muscle faith and pulling that muscle of I have enough I have enough truth proof I have enough evidence I'm going to go forward and I had this situation the other day work I had a little bit of a doubt which is very unlikely me to have a little bit of a doubt next thing You know 100 problems just I loud the door in I allowed the door in and as soon as I allowed that door in here's the evidence and that could have been One little thing I could have knocked it out. I could have had a good good his bow to do it I would knock that down in a minute. I let it I let it hang out there and all of a sudden the imagination came and Next thing you know here's meetings and next thing you know it could have been an email I'm eating that could have been an email, but I Opened up the doubt I opened up the Suffolk as long as you cause the doubt to the doubt you have certainty over logic You're faith above reason. There's no doubt Because remember guys is one element in life. It's called It's called negativity needs energy to live Negativity does not live on its own it needs fuel It needs fuel and how does fuel live negativity negativity gives gives imagination to details As long as faith above reason there's no there's no imagination. There's manifestation So it's almost like if we're not manifesting we're automatically going to be catastrophizing in life. That's the way it works That's how you know what what have you manifested in the past week or two? What have you what have you visioned lately if you're not using the mind to visualize your automatically guarantee to go It's that that's the way it works in life. There's no one way there because the energy goes either one way or the energy is going the other way But I stay in myself one little doubt boom boy it opened up the whole world of of things because I opened it up if I didn't have the doubt That's it. I would have the questions. I never would have the questions And this is where our whole inner work is to have faith above reason is to not not live a life of begging for certainty begging for control we have to have courage Core rich core and Latin core means from the heart Core the core your core right? It is his work on the core core is courage core is the heart Right? That's the courage. This is where Runaqan tells us this is where so again God leaves just enough uncertainty for free choice to exist but at the same time you focus on the dog He'll give you the room for the does you focus on the truth He'll give you the green light but at the same time the question is not whether you have enough proof It's whether you have enough truth That isn't that's what you ask is the evidence for that I think Byron Katie has you know when you have negative thoughts asking Is this true? Is this true 100% right when you question the the doubt and? And where's the evidence for this doubt? right Where's the evidence to this doubt? But again without clearing the trauma first It's almost like working on you know You have to clear the trauma first before you do any of these exercises don't go into anything Because everything's going to be in decision First clear the trauma first clear the trauma clear the trauma relationship clear the find out where you lost your self-esteem first Do the inner child work before because if you're gonna go into things With almost looking for doubt you're gonna find and why would I be looking for doubt in the first place? Because my self-esteem was completely taken away from me Where I lost myself a Steve I lost if I'm losing myself a Steve I'm not investing in the future I'm avoiding failure. I don't want to look bad again. So I will avoid any attempt to look bad again. Therefore I will not make a decision Because I don't need more evidence of failure if I already have it. I will avoid evidence failure and this is exactly what they did They'd rather stay small not go to the land get free fish free food, right? But have the ability to grow in responsibility and this is what what this is exactly what? Cause the burning of the temple the burning of the temple is unfortunately the burning of temple was the mindset How did how did Yeshua and Calab do they went to the Tadiqim before they prayed they prayed in the merit of the Tadiqim and Because they visited the Marit of the Tadiqim they were saved so sometimes also we need to We can't eat we ourselves can't aren't there in the merit of Ramnaxman can connect to something greater than you Connected with Babat Sherebi, you know imagine how many people had doubts Imagine people going to the rubab at Sherebi and say you know I have a Habad has a Nicaragua here. I think I want to close it It's not an option. What are you talking about? What do you wish to tell you if other people made it the other in the same situation you can make it Figure it out somehow they've all figured it out because closure is not an option It's not an option. It's not an option. Closure is not an option. It's almost like burning the boat kind of thing Right where Cortus came to America. Where did he tell them guys were burning the boat? Either you win or you die Sometimes you have to put yourself in that position of burning the boat Burning the boat means there's no room to go backwards. You've abandoned you've deserted the opposite by the possibility I've gone backwards and that itself is what's gonna give you the success It's not the details. It's the attitude The understand the land was good The business is good. This is good. The relationship this soulmate is good for you It's not it's because you're not going forward There's nothing to do with the person has to do with you You will see the same issue in every area unless you clear the doubt in that area And this is what we're here to do we're here to do this So when you're investing too much in traditional Judaism Without this faith component if you're if you're trying to learn a Torah that's not healing you and empowering you Then you need to switch channels You need to get out of the cooking channel and learn something more empowering the Torah that you learn should be empowering And it should tell you I need to move forward. I mean, you should have psychology You should have therapy and you should have the mental strength in these teachings of the Torah This is exactly where I'm not when created just learning history channels and history What do you need to learn is to you want to learn from history to get stronger? Wonderful But the main thing is we have to get do we have to see the truth and have courage Have courage to go forward and it doesn't mean you have a hundred percent sure it means you have a little doubt But you're still going forward regardless And if you look at every single situation of of of Numbing pain and numb what do you there's what are you numbing you should be going forward What is what do you want to numb you understand why numbing pain is such a problem Because you should be going forward. What are you numbing? It's not that there's nothing to numb go forward Let's go for what are you numbing? It's not the time to put the pause you need to go forward. That's exactly what a shabby does How many times does he put us in the situation go to the lab split to see Move I don't remember being a go to the lab you're not gonna know about The same it's the same message move you'll figure out the detail Trust you'll figure out the details afterwards. How many times is the whole of the whole Torah is like this That where we're we made a mistake Panic attacks every single time you had a panic attack Where's the meek gonna come lack of trust where most Revenu? He's not coming down golden calf Every single time this is a prime example of a panic attack instead of going to learn the panic the The spies the grasshoppers loves of a state destroyed example panic attacks and heaven didn't love them. It should be called excitement. We're excited to go to the lab. We're excited to wait for Moushair. We love the unknown. We love the uncertainty. I love uncertainty. Creation is made an answer. Imagine you went to a movie that you would-- imagine you went to a relationship with too much certainty. What would that look like? If you knew every single thing about the person and you knew exactly what happens going to happen and what thing was going to happen. Imagine what that would look like. You would be bored to death. You wouldn't want to get out of it. So you need certainty, but you also need uncertainty. You can also have a roller coaster, because your nervous system is not that. So you can't have that either. So we need the balance of safety, but at the same time, we want uncertainty, one excitement. You want to be able to look for something-- if I knew exactly where you're going to go on vacation, exactly the place, exactly the situation. Why do you travel to different countries? Why do you travel to travel to-- you need uncertainty. Uncertainty is what keeps you alive, right? Not toxic uncertainty. Excitement. Not uncertainty, whether I want to marry you or not marry you every five minutes, like a yo-yo. That's not-- that's indecision. Talking about uncertainty realizes it's OK to have a little uncertainty. It's OK. It's fun. It's normal. And it's fun. Because if you don't have uncertainty, then the certainty becomes boring. So we need the uncertainty. So you have to put yourself in a position to receive uncertainty. That means if there's no uncertainty in your life, you're not pressing forward enough. You're not pressing enough. That means it's good to have a little bit of uncomfortable. That means you're getting out of your comfort zone. Too much comfort? There's no excitement. So this concept of uncertainty and having the courage is exactly what Hashem wants. May Hashem bless us all, that we should all stop looking at the hinges and see that the doors have been opened. At the same time, they've been open for days. They've been open. But we're looking at the details too much. Look at the essence of this situation. Also, same thing. We're going through tests. All of us are going through tests. Are you looking at the essence of the test? The truth in the test? Are you focusing on the details of the test? Sometimes you're looking at too much of the details, and not the essence. Like, what does God want for me? Where's the truth in this? What does He want for me? Versus, who's doing it? How it's happening? When it's happening? Why it's happening? How long it's happening? That's the hinges. That's the hinges. Look at the essence of the test. Look at the Nikuda, the point, the Hachman the Test. Not the details of the test. Have a good day. [INAUDIBLE]

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. Over-analyzing and probing for excessive certainty leads to failure, as illustrated by the biblical spies who doubted God's promise about the land of Israel.
  2. Faith requires action before full understanding; one must "believe it to see it" rather than "see it to believe it."
  3. Clearing personal trauma is essential before entering relationships or businesses, as unresolved issues cause people to focus on doubts and flaws.
  4. God leaves room for uncertainty to test and elevate individuals, but focusing on doubts amplifies them, while focusing on truth reveals it.
  5. Courage means acting despite fear; without faith, even religious practice becomes meaningless, leading to stagnation and depression.
  6. Movement and effort are signs of faith; laziness and over-caution indicate a lack of trust in divine guidance.

Summary:

The speaker emphasizes that excessive probing and seeking perfect certainty can sabotage success, using the biblical story of the spies who doubted God's promise about Israel. They argue that people often focus on minor details or "hinges" when doors of opportunity are already open, leading to missed chances and self-sabotage. The key lesson is to act with faith—"believe it to see it"—rather than demanding proof first.

Unresolved trauma must be cleared before major decisions, otherwise individuals will project insecurities and find problems where none exist. God deliberately leaves room for doubt to test faith, but one's focus determines outcomes: seeking doubts brings more doubts, while seeking truth reveals it. Courage is acting despite fear, and without faith, even religious traditions become hollow.

The speaker warns against over-calculating decisions, as this leads to indecision and regret. Movement and effort are signs of genuine belief; laziness and hesitation reflect a lack of trust. Ultimately, clarity comes after commitment, not before, and one must plow forward with courage to experience growth and divine assistance.
