Thank you kind sir, even though I’m Muslim, I have needed this discussion in my life. My parents where very good to me, too good. My father was very involved in my life, he planned everything, I feel like I have been living a program. My life consisted of studying, studying, and studying, after school, I’ll come home, eat, and then study with private teachers until, 10 or 11 at night, then sleep, wake up at 6, and do it all over again. I was not allowed to go on school trips, or to be in situations where I have to depend on myself, because my dad was too concerned about my safety, to allow me, to go out by myself. Now as a 20 year old, I have very little belief in myself, and my abilities to do something by myself, I fear sudden changes, where I am not in control, or I am not mentally prepared. I tend to come up with excuses to not deal with change. I have to find a way to gain trust in myself, I have to find tools as you said, to be confident. Again thank you for this video, and I hope for me, and anyone that is facing a similar situation as me to be able to find happiness, and be content with themselves.
Our Lord is the constant in our lives He's faithful the same yesterday today and forever He never changes We don't have to fear change or look outside of ourselves to be comforted The Holy Spirit speaks through us so we don't have to prepare what we need to say as long as we stay in the spirit we're always going to be good Mark 13:9 But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Thank you Rabbi Simon you have so much insight and kind words of safety. struggling many years with a soulless being in long term dv marriage that trapped me for over 20 years coercive control which has destroyed a once valiant, nurturing and capable of much and confident and trained in many practical skills and mostly understanding peacemaker, solution finder with humanistic kindness. In trauma to long and still to this day. It's nice to know someone understands.
Im a Muslim but I like your videos , I’m in a stage of life now struggling to stay away from toxic relatives who don’t have good intention towards me , the only think stop me is fear of how they would think or say .
Thank you so much! I stumbled on your channel because I’m interested in astrology and I clicked on your Aquarius video… but I really am struggling with a fear of change and a life that has a lot of toxicity that I’ve become accustomed to. This video has given me some inspiration and food for thought. Many thanks and best wishes to you 😊🙏
Thank you. You’ve described most of my life. With my training/education, I’ve intuitively done most of the SPA work alone. Now, at 64, I fear fear after changing too many things right before lockdowns and experiencing several losses. Where can I find the best community and mentor for me? Any suggestions? Sometimes, I feel like I’d like to start such a supportive group and be a mentor but I want first to rebuild confidence and feel settled/rooted in the right place for me.
Sorry Rabbi, I have "sinned"....I am making this comment even BEFORE watching your video. Yes, I fear change (In many regards I admit to being a "reactionary" or "conservative", and by nature, we are not the biggest embraces of change.) I will take this opportunity though to quote Don Draper of "Madmen".... "Change is neither good nor bad, it just IS". Not very comforting.** But hopefully after watching YOUR talk on change, I will either embrace it lovingly and with enthusiasm, or at best, just shrug my shoulders and say "Meh, whatever" whenever a change occurs that I would otherwise lament over or try to fight. **I will admit a character like "Don Draper" is probably NOT someone who should be quoted like he was some sort of guru. But he had said something interesting about "nostalgia" though.
Thank you rabbi! Could you please discuss what's happening to the soul in the case Of brain injury or dementia? How does this relate to free will and the souls journey? To me this is often seems proof of no free will or a lack of God.
I have found myself in a relationship with a Lutheran. I recently found God through very personal experiences with what I call the Divine. My girlfriend says Mysticism is not real / distraction from God. Being someone with personal experience brushing up against the Divine, makes me so confused why all these branches of Mysticism would exist within official religious structures if there wasn’t importance behind certain practices. What ammunition could one provide to explain to another, that not all mysticism is new age psuedo-science? Since my experiences I feel the world is magical and alive, but not being firmly rooted in Church or Synagogue, I don’t have the right viewpoint reaching my significant other.
I have been in front of loved ones, having heartfelt conversation and the environment around morphs and I could feel and see winds rushing around us locked in conversation. I had lost my ability to make decisions for certain lengths of time, feeling like my free will was extinguished. Very mythological and spiritual narratives were standing out to my mind. I felt guided by higher sources. The world takes on a water like appearance and most objects flume. Let god into my body and let him walk about the garden. Feeling empowered in my actions as I observed myself experiencing / doing things I felt I could not do.
Wow, a Lutheran? I grew up as one of them. (Of the ELCA I believe. The Missouri Synod might be a little more "fire-n-brimstone"**). One step below the Episcopalians to learn the mysteries of high "WASPYNESS"...You might even learn to enjoy stepping out of the shower to pee🤣🤣
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO THAT I CAN SEND TO SOMEBODY WHO'S HAVING DEPRESSION THEY NEED HELP RIGHT NOW! THEIR UNCLE COMMITTED SUICIDE LAST YEAR THEY ARE ALONE AND LIVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO SO I CAN SEND IT TO HIM

Thanks Rabbi....God bless you and your loved ones.
Shalom Rabbi

@@coleman318 thank you for sharing. When you felt wind rushing around you, did you men you felt and saw the air moving and it felt euphoric?
euphoric, gripping, winds appeared full of emotional connection.

Look up "Melancholy and Depression Simon Jacobson". Watch video first to see if it will help when you share it.
Don't fear change, but do change your underwear.
Life is a cage .
