What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dov Ber Weisman’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

so we're talking about thinking we're talking about thinking and we said last time a few things first thing we said was that it's not something that people think about very rarely do people think about thinking in school you learn geography maths History Science did you learn thinking arent Shanghai no thinking class you thinking class why didn't we learn thinking why aren't we learning thinking in school my children are learning thinking school my children are learning thinking they're identifying what are good thoughts what are bad thoughts what do I do when I got bad thoughts how do I deal with those bad thoughts should I block them should I let them go should I increase them how do thoughts relate to emotions thoughts I gave a an analogy the other day let's say you have a fire you have a fire of emotions thoughts are like putting wood on the fire they just keep the fire going so if you have Ang if you feel angry but then you keep thinking about angry but then you keep thinking about what that person said to you to make you angry you're just feeding the anger and it's not fair so the thoughts feed the fire of the emotion you stop thinking about the emotion and just experience the emotion feel the fire then it gradually dies down because you're not feeding it but if you have a positive emotion it's the same so if you feel grateful for something or if you feel some kind of Godly moment of spirituality then it thought also helps that so start thinking about that think as much as you can about all the good
