[Music] so man welcome to practical spirituality here at Asia tour in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the Temple Mount now I'm speaking of the Temple Mount now I'm speaking of the Temple Mount the Temple Mount is where this great service took place and this service is a it's a international style kind of a universal thing what does that mean it's a universal thing there's offerings I think no matter what culture you go to unless it's a atheist Western nihilistic culture there's offerings although even the Western atheist nihilist still has offerings you understand cuz let's say they want to go to Jim but their their spouse says you to Jim but their their spouse says you know can you please come home that's a sacrifice in the sacrifices that there should be a better relationship with someone and that's all we're doing with God the same thing as we're letting goes we're gonna release something we're gonna let go of something might be our money might be an animal if you're a farmer it might be spices that you've grown for incense offerings we understand then every decision you make is a sacrificial moment because a decision it comes from or decide the word side means to eliminate like homicide suicide right genocide means to homicide suicide right genocide means to eliminate so every decision you make there's certain things you're letting go of there there's things you're eliminating in that process of elimination to make that decision that's your sacrifice and in that sacrifice is the power of what you did meaning things are only powerful in as much as you made a sacrifice one example that I like to give which is brings back to surfing years is let me just make a buff on this bowl Todd I know I know hey no man I mean I'm shocked whenever whoa
