Who was Reb Nosson, and why without him would we have no Rebbe Nachman?

Are our addictions and cravings real, or are they a fabrication of the mind?

Rav Shlomo Katz continues with Sichos Haran #51, exploring the radical idea that "A lust on its own is not real." We learn that essential needs (like eating) are not evil; it is the mind that blows them up into "Lusts".

Rav Shlomo discusses how to dismantle the power of temptation by realizing it is an illusion we have empowered.

This episode is a deep dive into the psychology of desire, teaching us that we have the power to "deflate" our cravings by recognizing that they are merely necessities dressed up in the costume of addiction.

What is the ultimate truth about this world?

Rav Shlomo Katz explores Sichos Haran #51, where Rebbe Nachman states bluntly: "This world is nothing." We learn that the world is a place of illusion (Mateh - misleading), where we chase things that don't last, particularly wealth.

Rav Shlomo explains the axiom that "Money is either taken from the man, or the man is taken from the money."

This episode challenges us to reevaluate our pursuits, urging us to attach ourselves to the eternal connection with Hashem, which is the only thing that remains when the illusion of the world fades away.
