  66. <p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Why is Sexual purity so important in Judaism? Our sages called <i>Shmiras Habris</i>  &#8220;Yesod&#8221;, meaning &#8220;Foundation&#8221;. The foundation of a building is &#8220;underground&#8221; and no one sees it, yet it holds up the entire building! <i>Shmiras Habris</i> is the hidden part of a Jew, it&#8217;s the real you. If the foundation of a Jew is weak, his whole spiritual structure is fragile and in grave danger of collapse. At guardureyes.com we are finally joining together, for ourselves and for all future generations, to strengthen the foundations of our people!</b></p>
  67. <p style="text-align:justify;"><i>There is a lot of material out there on the subject of guarding the eyes and the Bris, but sometimes &#8220;too much&#8221; is overwhelming.<br />
  68. A little bit each day is just right, to be able to read, digest and apply it to our lives.</i></p>
  69. <p style="text-align:justify;">The booklet &#8220;<a href="https://shomerhabris.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/windows-of-the-soul.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Windows of the Soul</b></a>&#8221; by R&#8217; <i>Zvi Miller</i> of the Salant foundation, is a <b>MAN’S PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MASTERING HIS EYES</b>.  (Right click the link and choose &#8220;Save Target/Link As&#8221; to save the PDF booklet to your computer).  To subscribe to eMussar, the daily lessons of the Salant Foundation, send email to <a href="mailto:salant@netvision.net.il">salant@netvision.net.il</a></p>
  70. <p style="text-align:justify;">The Zohar compares this world to a churning ocean and the body of a man to a ship in the sea. Therefore, man requires knowledge in order to guide himself on a straight course, avoiding mishap and losing his way. The ocean of life roars fearfully and continuously. The winds of challenge blow and the negative impulse rips about like a tornado with unimaginable force.  All of life comprises great and endless tests, which can easily capsize the ship and sink it into the murky, nethermost depths.</p>
  71. <p style="text-align:justify;">Yirat Shamayim and the study of Mussar will prevent the body from sinking into the miry depths of desire and corrupt character traits.<br />(Rabbi Yitzchak Blazer, Ohr Yisrael)</p>

  73. <p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#000000"><b>Control my eyes</b></font></p>
  74. <blockquote>
  75. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">If you find it hard to stop gazing at things you shouldn&#8217;t, keep this in mind. From the smallest baby to the prettiest woman, to the old fat man down the street, human beings are all made out of the same stuff; blood, veins, muscle tissue, guts and fat&#8211;all covered over with a <b>thin layer of skin</b>. Keep that in mind and it will help you turn away from looking at what you shouldn&#8217;t.</font></p>
  76. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">It will also help you to be humble before G-d, for that is really all we are.</font></p>
  77. <p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</font></p>
  78. <p style="text-align:justify;"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">The above reminded me of something someone posted recently on our <a href="http://bit.ly/NmhyO" target="_blank">forum</a>:</font></b></p>
  79. <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#00008B">When in the street, I have a number of different methods to help me control my eyes depending on the situation, but 3 of the most common thoughts that I&#8217;ve been working on making &#8220;second nature&#8221; are:</font></p>
  80. <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#00008B">1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember that what you see is the outermost layer only. Just a bit deeper is a bunch of gory blood and bones that you&#8217;d run from in horror.</font></p>
  81. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#00008B">2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Try to link the pleasurable sensation of inappropriate gazing and fantasies to the emotional pain that always comes after looking, i.e. the inevitable depressing feelings that always follows (since I know I can&#8217;t have it anyway, and gazing just takes me far from Hashem). Although it&#8217;s still a 2 step process (pleasure followed by memory of pain), I&#8217;d like to get to the point where the only sensation is the memory of pain.</font></p>
  82. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#00008B">3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I tell myself: &#8220;Just get through the day without a slip.  I can do it just for today&#8221;.</font></p>

  359. <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><i>The main rectification of the mind, is by breaking the desire for Niuf. The mind is like a burning candle, it feeds of the fluids in the body. The fluids travel to the brain becoming the fatty substance that feeds the brain. It comes out that the main power of the mind comes from these fatty fluids. Therefore when a person breaks the desire for Niuf, and stops excreting the fluids from the body, they then travel up to the brain giving him more mind power.</i></font></p>

The foundation of a building is &#8220;underground&#8221; and no one sees it, yet it holds up the entire building! <i>Shmiras Habris</i> is the hidden part of a Jew, it&#8217;s the real you. If the foundation of a Jew is weak, his whole spiritual structure is fragile and in grave danger of collapse. At guardureyes.com we are finally joining together, for ourselves and for all future generations, to strengthen the foundations of our people!</b></p>

  454. <p style="text-align:justify;">The Zohar compares this world to a churning ocean and the body of a man to a ship in the sea. Therefore, man requires knowledge in order to guide himself on a straight course, avoiding mishap and losing his way. The ocean of life roars fearfully and continuously. The winds of challenge blow and the negative impulse rips about like a tornado with unimaginable force.  All of life comprises great and endless tests, which can easily capsize the ship and sink it into the murky, nethermost depths.</p>
  455. <p style="text-align:justify;">Yirat Shamayim and the study of Mussar will prevent the body from sinking into the miry depths of desire and corrupt character traits.<br />(Rabbi Yitzchak Blazer, Ohr Yisrael)</p>

  457. <p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#000000"><b>Looking at improper things</b></font></p>
  458. <blockquote>
  459. <p style="text-align:left;"><b>Taken From Tzvi Fishman&#8217;s    <a href="http://bit.ly/3qBJuu" target="_blank">Arutz Sheva Blog</a></b>.</p>
  460. <p style="text-align:justify;">There are many unfortunate consequences for a Jew who follows after his eyes. Since many people look upon this lightly, let me share a Kabbalistic secret to help impress the gravity of this transgression in your minds. In the &#8220;Sefer Haredim,&#8221; in the Gate of Reincarnation, it is written that a person who habitually gazes at women to enjoy their beauty will be reincarnated as an impure bird called the &#8220;Roah,&#8221; which means &#8220;he saw.&#8221;</p>
  461. <p style="text-align:justify;">Regarding this, the holy Torah giant and Kabbalist, Rabbi Aharon Rota, writes: &#8220;If you think to say, my brother, what is so bad about this? That if you will be reincarnated in a bird, you can fly around freely to this place and that, what&#8217;s so terrible in that? But you should know, my brother, that to be reincarnated in an impure thing, G-d forbid, is worse than the terrible fires of Gehinom. Furthermore, unlike a reincarnation in human form, when the person is unaware of his previous life, when a person is reincarnated in an impure bird, he is conscious all of the time that he was once a Jew with a pure and exalted soul, and that now he is doomed to the life of an impure and foul-smelling bird &#8211; how shameful and ignominious is his hell. All because he did not safeguard his eyes from looking at improper things&#8221; (&#8220;Taharat HaKodesh,&#8221; Chapter on Guarding One&#8217;s Eyes, Section 18).</p>
  462. <p style="text-align:justify;">But this isn&#8217;t all, my friends. The next time that you are tempted to take a second glance at an immodestly dressed woman, or to click on an erotic site on the Internet, remember that after the reincarnation in an impure bird, another reincarnation is needed in a less impure beast, then another reincarnation in a pure animal, each time experiencing the pain of death and mental suffering involved, until the cycle is completed, and only then does the person begin the time in Gehinom that has been apportioned to him for his sins.</p>
  463. <p style="text-align:left;">Is it worth it?</p>

  626. <p style="text-align:justify;">We all believe in &#8220;S&#8217;char Ve&#8217;onesh&#8221; (divine reward and punishment). So here&#8217;s a tip for staying strong and guarding your eyes. Sometimes we tell a child that if he does a Mitzvah he will get as much candy as he wants in the next world. This isn&#8217;t a lie because the reward will be much greater than this, but the child can&#8217;t relate to understanding the true pleasures of the world to come. When we struggle with looking at things we shouldn&#8217;t, we are also acting like children. The only difference is that our desires have matured into different &#8220;candies&#8221;. Sometimes it can help to talk to the Yetzer Hara in his own language so he will understand. Next time you see something that pulls you to stray after your eyes, tell yourself that as a reward for not looking, G-d will allow you to have this very woman that you desire in the next world. Now obviously, the reward in the next world will be much greater than this. Chaza&#8221;l say that one minute in Olam Haba is greater than all the pleasures of this world put together! But sometimes this idea is too abstract for the Yetzer Hara to hear, and that can make it hard to relate to. Instead, when you see a beautiful woman or a picture of one, tell your Yetzer Hara; &#8220;you know you won&#8217;t get her anyway, you just crave to gaze at her beauty, so I&#8217;ll make a deal with you. Turn away now, and as a reward for turning away just this once, you&#8217;ll have her in the next world as much as you want!&#8221;. This truly isn&#8217;t a lie here either. You are only talking to the Yetzer Hara in his own language so he can relate to the incredible reward that you WILL receive in the next world&#8230;</p>
  627. <p style="text-align:justify;">Besides, in the <i>Kabbalistic</i> sources, the holy Shchina <b>is</b> sometimes <i>nimshal</i> (a parable to) a beautiful woman, and the <i>zivug</i> (intercourse) of the <i>neshamos</i> (souls) in the next world is a pleasure we can&#8217;t even begin to imagine. Everything on this world is a branch of the &#8220;root&#8221; in the upper worlds. If sexual desire is the strongest of the pleasures of this world, then the spiritual counterpart of this desire (it&#8217;s divine root) will also be the highest form of pleasure in the world to come. But only those who repent and stay pure in this world will merit these divine pleasures.</p>

The foundation of a building is &#8220;underground&#8221; and no one sees it, yet it holds up the entire building! <i>Shmiras Habris</i> is the hidden part of a Jew, it&#8217;s the real you. If the foundation of a Jew is weak, his whole spiritual structure is fragile and in grave danger of collapse. At guardureyes.com we are finally joining together, for ourselves and for all future generations, to strengthen the foundations of our people!</b></p>

  832. A little bit each day is just right, to be able to read, digest and apply it to our lives.</i></p>
  833. <p style="text-align:justify;">The booklet &#8220;<a href="https://shomerhabris.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/windows-of-the-soul.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Windows of the Soul</b></a>&#8221; by R&#8217; <i>Zvi Miller</i> of the Salant foundation, is a <b>MAN’S PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MASTERING HIS EYES</b>.  (Right click the link and choose &#8220;Save Target/Link As&#8221; to save the PDF booklet to your computer).  To subscribe to eMussar, the daily lessons of the Salant Foundation, send email to <a href="mailto:salant@netvision.net.il">salant@netvision.net.il</a></p>
  834. <p style="text-align:justify;">The Zohar compares this world to a churning ocean and the body of a man to a ship in the sea. Therefore, man requires knowledge in order to guide himself on a straight course, avoiding mishap and losing his way. The ocean of life roars fearfully and continuously. The winds of challenge blow and the negative impulse rips about like a tornado with unimaginable force.  All of life comprises great and endless tests, which can easily capsize the ship and sink it into the murky, nethermost depths.</p>
  835. <p style="text-align:justify;">Yirat Shamayim and the study of Mussar will prevent the body from sinking into the miry depths of desire and corrupt character traits.<br />(Rabbi Yitzchak Blazer, Ohr Yisrael)</p>

  838. <blockquote>
  839. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Vision possesses such lofty importance because the eyes are the windows to the &#8220;soul of the soul.&#8221; A blemish to the sense of vision, when the eyes gaze upon something forbidden, is grave indeed, as stressed by the verse in the Book of Eichah, &#8220;My eye affects my soul because of all the daughters of the city&#8221; (Eichah, 3:51).  This means that what a man sees can cause him to lose a portion of his holiness.</font></p>
  840. <p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</font></p>
  841. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Rebbe Nachman writes that sexual temptation is the main test in life. It is sent as a challenge to refine us. When you are subjected to this test it puts you in a type of &#8220;exile&#8221;. You should cry out to G-d: scream and cry out to Him over and over again, like a woman in labor who cries out from the pain of her contractions. Seventy times she cries out (Zohar III, 249b). You must do likewise and cry out to G-d again and again until He takes pity and helps you to strengthen yourself and break your desire. New ideas and new perceptions will be born within you. The secrets of Torah, which before were hidden, will now be unveiled for you. The greater the determination with which you stand up to the trial, the greater the revelation you will receive in Torah and devotion to G-d. You will merit to see the seventy faces of the Torah.</font></p>

I was in the hospital for a week on antibiotics and I wouldn&#8217;t wish the pain on my worst enemies. I knew it came as a Divine punishment for my watching p-rn and for doing things with my wife that I shouldn&#8217;t have just to satisfy my lust.

The foundation of a building is &#8220;underground&#8221; and no one sees it, yet it holds up the entire building! <i>Shmiras Habris</i> is the hidden part of a Jew, it&#8217;s the real you. If the foundation of a Jew is weak, his whole spiritual structure is fragile and in grave danger of collapse. At guardureyes.com we are finally joining together, for ourselves and for all future generations, to strengthen the foundations of our people!</b></p>
  1211. <p style="text-align:justify;"><i>There is a lot of material out there on the subject of guarding the eyes and the Bris, but sometimes &#8220;too much&#8221; is overwhelming.<br />
  1212. A little bit each day is just right, to be able to read, digest and apply it to our lives.</i></p>
  1213. <p style="text-align:justify;">The booklet &#8220;<a href="https://shomerhabris.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/windows-of-the-soul.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Windows of the Soul</b></a>&#8221; by R&#8217; <i>Zvi Miller</i> of the Salant foundation, is a <b>MAN’S PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MASTERING HIS EYES</b>.  (Right click the link and choose &#8220;Save Target/Link As&#8221; to save the PDF booklet to your computer).  To subscribe to eMussar, the daily lessons of the Salant Foundation, send email to <a href="mailto:salant@netvision.net.il">salant@netvision.net.il</a></p>
  1214. <p style="text-align:justify;">The Zohar compares this world to a churning ocean and the body of a man to a ship in the sea. Therefore, man requires knowledge in order to guide himself on a straight course, avoiding mishap and losing his way. The ocean of life roars fearfully and continuously. The winds of challenge blow and the negative impulse rips about like a tornado with unimaginable force.  All of life comprises great and endless tests, which can easily capsize the ship and sink it into the murky, nethermost depths.</p>
  1215. <p style="text-align:justify;">Yirat Shamayim and the study of Mussar will prevent the body from sinking into the miry depths of desire and corrupt character traits.<br />(Rabbi Yitzchak Blazer, Ohr Yisrael)</p>

Basically, you&#8217;re damned if you do and you&#8217;re damned if you don&#8217;t. G-d has us between a rock and a hard place.</i></font></p>
  1220. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Courier New, Courier" size="+3" color="#8B0000"><b>A.</b></font> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">You ask a very good question, but there is one important distinction that can help clarify this dilemma. There are two types of looking at women, &#8220;gazing &#8211; with lust&#8221; and &#8220;seeing &#8211; without lust&#8221;. Your Chavrusah was probably brought up his whole life in a holy environment and he didn&#8217;t have issues with lust. In his case, making a big deal out of &#8220;not looking at women&#8221; as if they were some secret hidden treasure that we have to hide from ourselves &#8211; would be counterproductive. Why? Because in the times when he would have to look, like when he needed to talk to a woman, his subconscious would consider it as if he was now opening a hidden &#8220;treasure&#8221; and this could trigger lust, which he otherwise wouldn&#8217;t have had.</font></p>
  1221. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Now I don&#8217;t know about your particular case, but for most people who were raised in today&#8217;s promiscuous Western society, every good looking woman is &#8211; by default &#8211; an object of lust. Most normal guys raised in today&#8217;s immoral environment can&#8217;t help but look at a pretty woman with lust. Your Chavrusah was on a higher level, he probably wasn&#8217;t just a &#8220;normal&#8221; guy. When he saw women in the street that were not relevant to him, it didn&#8217;t trigger anything in his mind. For HIM, making too much of a big deal out of it would be counterproductive.</font></p>
  1222. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Chaza&#8221;l say that the Yetzer Hara has no power over someone who guards his eyes (Yalkut Shimoni, Vayechi). And conversely, Chaza&#8221;l also say that one who does not guard his eyes is destined to fall into sin (Yalkut Shimoni, Bamidbar). But Chaza&#8221;l only mean someone who looks at women with lust. Otherwise, believe it or not, there isn&#8217;t even a prohibition to look at women. The Rambam in <a href="http://bit.ly/kH6RJ" target="_blank">Hilchus Issurei Biyah</a> 21:2 writes that someone who gazes even at the small finger of a woman with the intention to enjoy it, is considered as if he looked at her &#8220;place of filth&#8221;. But in 21:3 he writes, that one could &#8211; and SHOULD &#8211; look at a woman to see if she may be fit to be his wife, but only if he does so in a non-promiscuous way. We see here clearly the difference between looking <b>with lust</b>, or <b>without</b>.</font></p>
  1223. <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Everyone needs to know themselves. Your Chavrusah could probably see pretty women in the street and not feel lust. To make a big deal out of it for him, would cause a reverse effect. But for most people, looking at women is more like &#8220;gazing&#8221; and &#8220;lusting&#8221; and therefore <i><u>not</u> looking</i> is their only hope of success in the struggle with the Yetzer Hara.</font></p>
  1224. <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">The reason why the Yetzer Hara has no power over one who guards is eyes is extremely obvious: You don&#8217;t lust after that which you don&#8217;t see. Plain and simple.</font></p>
  1225. <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Here&#8217;s a parable: Imagine you are about to have a wrestling match with someone much stronger than you. You take a sponge, dip it in oil and smear your body with it before the match. In the end you win because your opponent simply couldn&#8217;t get a grip on you at all; you just slid out of his grasp every time.</font></p>
  1226. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">The Yetzer Hara is indeed much too strong for us. But that is only if we try and fight him face to face. If however, we guard our eyes, he can&#8217;t get a grip on us and we will emerge victorious.</font></p>
  1227. <p style="text-align:justify;"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">So Hashem doesn&#8217;t have us between a rock and a hard place, but more like between a rock and a oil sponge :-)</font></p>
