Yoga Leads to Idolatry & Possession
yoga leads to idolatry and being possessed by the Dark Side
This brings into question the larger issue of how much of what we do to get closer to God is actually resulting in the the opposite and from the Dark Side?
The problem of the Sitra Achra [the Dark Side] is greater than usually understood.
Powers from the Dark Side are what usually produces the kinds of supposed miracles that people think show that a person is holy man. This is a great problem when dealing with groups that think because their leader did some miracle that shows he is holy. The Devil give people the power to do miracles in order to be able to draw them to the Dark Side.

Western Civilization
One comment of Vox Populi said: "European Christendom has a right to exist and to defend itself and promote it's interests." This seems self evident to me.
For some reason there are people that disagree with this. And it is a puzzle to me, "why?" To me it seems clear Western Civilization is a result of Judaic-Christian values aligned with the ideals of Ancient Athens and the political structure of Rome.
I see nothing to debate here. When other cultures can do something like this then give me a call:

unapologetically anti religious teachers. Religious teachers are the swore enemies of the Alpha Male. They are deluding themselves that they are self supporting when in fact they produce nothing of any economic value and depend solely on donations.
The unapologetically anti religious teachers element of my thinking connects me with many people that have been terrorized by religious teachers
Policies and principles don’t matter, nor do obsolete ideological divisions like Reform or observant , because the system itself is a sham.
What we are seeing here is a convergence of two phenomena: Authentic Torah thought, popular discontent with phony religious teachers .
I demand revolutionary change. But in order to make an impact on the system , I need quantity. We need lots of people to recognize that know that religious teachers are frauds,
and predators. Their idea is to keep everyone working, so they can sit around all day relaxing with their friends in their so called yeshivas and kollel's. Real authentic Torah learning is the last thing they want.
There are of course a few authentic yeshivas but they are only about three in NY (Chaim Berlin, Torah VeDaat, Mir) and few others based on the Ponovitch approach in Israel.

There is a good reason why the Rambam said not to give any money to any religious teachers. The reason w are seeing today when religious teachers are abusers and predators. And to top it all off they claim they malicious lies are from the Torah and Talmud.
All these problems would not exist if Torah and money were kept separate

Introduction to Talmud- Rav Shach's the Avi Ezri
If you need a simple introduction to Talmud I recommend the book of Rav Shach's the Avi Ezri which combines simple, straight logic with depth
When I was in yeshiva there were two kinds of books around "Deep Lumdus" Deep learning and "Easy Lumdus." The easy learning. The easy learning one were things you could learn and understand without having to have gone through the whole subject in depth. These were things that I would pick up and learn on Friday nights. [But it still gave you a good idea of the depths of the subject.]
The hard Lumdus is what it sounds like "hard." That is Reb Chaim [Soloveitchik], Baruch Ber, Shimon Shkop. Rav Shach combines these two things. Easy to understand without having to know all the sugia in depth while at the same time introducing you to the depth. [Yaakov Abuchatzeira also wrote a very good book of what you could call "easy Lumdus." An excellent book.]
Idea in Talmud Bava Metzia 98a

What it looks like to me is that it all depends on what Rashi held by כפירה. Tosphot understands that Rashi holds כפירה takes an oath. If so then in fact there is a question on Rashi. The question is there is no migo. But the way I see it, Rashi holds the שבועת השומרים is when he says נאנס but if he had said כפירה then he would have been believed.

בבא מציעא צ''ח ע''א
What it looks like to me is that it all depends on what רש''י held by כפירה. The way תוספות understands that רש''י is that if the שומר said כפירה then he takes an oath. If so, then in fact there is a question on רש''י. The question is there is no מיגו. But the way I see it, רש''י holds the שבועת השומרים is when he says נאנס but if he had said כפירה then he would have been believed.
מה שנראה לי הוא שכל זה תלוי במה רש''י מחזיק בכפירה. הדרך שהתוספות מבינים את רש''י היא שאם השומר אמר כפירה, אז הוא לוקח שבועה. אם כן, אז למעשה יש שאלה על רש''י. השאלה היא שאין מיגו. אבל כפי שאני רואה את זה, רש''י מחזיק שבועת השומרים היא כאשר הוא אומר נאנס, אבל אם הוא אמר הכפירה אז הוא היה אמין

Idea in Talmud Bava Metzia 98a
I was just thinking over the sugia [Subject in the Talmud] in Bava Metzia 98 and Shavuot and the Tosphot. The first time I learned it Rashi made sense to me. Then my learning partner explained what the question of Tosphot on Rashi is. And thus Tosphot brings Rabbainu Tam. And then there is a question on Rabbainu Tam and so Tosphot then brings the Riva.
As I was thinking it over again as I was out doing shopping it occurred to me again that Rashi makes sense. With no access to a Gemara bear with me as I write down what I remember. But my memory might be playing tricks and I have no way to check. I looked at my own notes so I am not saying I remember this all from scratch. Still I might have forgotten something
At any rate here is what I remember. The Mishna in Shavuot says שכיר נשבע ונוטל. A worker takes an oath and gets paid. Rav and Shmuel said that is when there are witnesses. If there are no witnesses then the employer has a Migo. He could have said "who are you? I never saw you before." But instead he says "I paid you already." Rava [I think] asked if so then there can never be שבועת השומרים an oath for a guard. Now we know Rashi holds שבועת השומרים is even when there is no מודה מקצת
Now full stop. Does this make sense? To me it makes perfect sense. The normal case of שבועת השומרים is when there is a migo. So if you believe a person because he has a migo then there could never be שבועת השומרים. Crystal clear. What in the world could Tosphot ask on this?
That is all I really have to say right now. But just for completeness let me add what I recall Tosphot says after this. That is that rabbainu Tam says the only time there is שבועת השומרים is when there is מודה מקצת that is כפירה והודאה

The משנה in שבועות says שכיר נשבע ונוטל. A worker takes an oath and gets paid. רב and שמואל said that is when there are witnesses. If there are no witnesses, then the employer has a מיגו. He could have said who are you? I never saw you before. But instead he says I paid you already. רבא asked if so then there can never be שבועת השומרים an oath for a guard. Now we know רש''י holds שבועת השומרים is even when there is no מודה מקצת
To me it makes perfect sense. The normal case of שבועת השומרים is when there is a מיגו. So if you believe a person because he has a מיגו then there could never be שבועת השומרים. Crystal clear. What in the world could תוספות ask on this?
המשנה בשבועות אומרת שכיר נשבע ונוטל. עובד לוקח שבועה ומקבל תשלום. רב ושמואל אמרו כי זה כאשר יש עדים. אם אין עדים, אז למעסיק יש מיגו. הוא היה יכול לומר מי אתה? מעולם לא ראיתי אותך. אבל במקום זה הוא אומר שילמתי לך כבר. רבא שאל, "אם כן אז לא יכולה להיות שבועת השומרים (שבועה לשומר). עכשיו אנחנו יודעים שרש''י מחזיק שבועת השומרים אפילו כשאינו מודה מקצת. לי זה נשמע הגיוני לחלוטין. המקרה הרגיל של שבועת השומרים היא כאשר יש מיגו. אז אם אתה מאמין אדם כי יש לו מיגו, אז יש לא יכול להיות שבועת השומרים. ברור כשמש. מה קורה בעולם של תוספותשהם שואלים על זה?
