What if your soul's survival depended on split-second reflexes? The Ramchal teaches that true z'hirus isn't only thinking before you act—it's training your instincts so that when temptation strikes, you respond correctly without hesitation. Just as a commando drills for crisis, we must forge spiritual "muscles" to look away from forbidden scenes and seize fleeting opportunities for mitzvah. How do you reprogram reflexes that betray your higher purpose? This episode will show you how to lay the groundwork today through targeted mental rehearsals and deliberate habit-building, so when the next nisayon arrives, your instinctive response steers you toward holiness.
