Okay, I want to thank our host and
hostess, the Gamman family. Thank you so
much for your gracious hospitality and
and the spread every week and also for
the video
and the other
Gilbert for the video Silber for uh the
streaming and I want to thank Shimshin
and Rifki Versashonsski for sponsoring
this series.
her father and his father-in-law
whose dedication to learning the was
extraordinary. So this is in his memory.
Thank you very much.
Okay. So what did we learn? You remember
you want to give a summation.
Okay,
I should learn from you.
I should learn from you how to summarize
in one word,
right?
I once introduced Rabbi Marlo
to a dinner and he would speak very very
short like if he spoke for more than 20
30 seconds it was a his name was Marlo
so how do I introduce him
so I said that we say in the
so the world asks what's his he took 10
mckas and he turned it into acronyms
have you dumped
So the kadesh is that he taught people
how to take 10 words and turn them into
three. The says that was
he was the main speaker. Why? Because
when you know how to do this, you know
how to condense the message, they make
you the So I said here's somebody I'm
introducing who knows how to do this. So
that was good.
So there's a V from the MG just as an as
the summation there's a V from the Misha
Mag it's a very powerful V it says
there's a PK in Malim in Malim B speaks
about the king wanting Alicia to give
prophecy
but he wasn't in the position he wasn't
in the mood so to speak he wasn't in the
zone so Alicia says
I need you should bring me a to sing to
play music.
Yeah. When the hagggin when the was in
other words when the musician began to
play the music so the hand of Hashem the
spirit of Hashem rested on Alicia. So
the mag of m once said what's
right could say
it's an interesting expression. So the
mag says as follows
that there's a deeper message here.
There's a difference between a person
singing and an instrument playing a
song. An instrument playing a song has
no ego. The violin, a guitar, a cello, a
piano has no ego. It's uh its entire
identity, so to speak, is that it's a
channel for the music. Yeah. The violin
doesn't get arrogant if it does a good
job. Doesn't get depressed, if it does a
bad job. The mitus of the of the clay ne
of the instrument is that it's a channel
for the song. A person singing is not
like that. You can ask people who sing.
It's not that people, right? I'm
self-conscious. We have our fears, our
insecurities, our shame.
Hagen
when the men
became the niggan when the men became
completely one with the niggan. In other
words, it's not the menagan is singing
the song. It's that the managan is just
the he's like an instrument like a
musical instrument through which the
song goes through
yadashem. That's when the yadashem
dwelled on him. In other words,
the concept of aikagana is
when there's no self-consciousness.
When the manag is just is just like the
instrument like the like the niggan
itself or like the nag like the the clay
there's no ego there's no there's no
separateness. So then the energy of the
niggan flows through him. There's no
separation. I think this is one uh very
relevant application of what we were
learning about what means
but let's summarize let's summarize the
but very very big because uh we had Shia
2 and Shia 3. So those who want to
review can review it and it's intense
it's elaborate it's intricate but just
to summarize the point there's aim
there's a big of the when you say which
means the infinite one if it's kesser or
atmos now it sounds like a strange like
but in kabal it's a very serious
argument if the word anif refers to
kesser which means the crown or hashem's
will or it refers to hashem's essence
according to cord Deo the Ramach who was
one of the greatest cabalists in Jewish
history passed away 1570 Shin lamemed of
Gimlamos buried in he says is atmospher
himself the infinite one a disciple of
the ra who lived a generation later
known as the rabbaru
who lived in Italy one generation later
in his pelar
Ilam he has many cababala he was from
the city fuo in Italy he argues and he
says that a is not hashem himself a
refers to hashem's name hashem's crown
hashem's rutson hashem's desire and his
tina is that if a was referring to
hashem himself then title should have
been he has no beginning not that he has
no end because you can have something
that has a beginning but it doesn't have
an endem wants something to extend uh
everywhere and to exist every through
every time eternally. You can have it
can be
is a much bigger kesh. In other words,
you can have no end but you have a
beginning. You have a source. You have a
progenitor. You have a creator. Yeah. A
name has the master of the name. He says
you should have a different name is much
deeper because
right everything that's eternal
everything that's everything that is
everything that has no beginning it
existence is from itself nobody created
it automatically it's eternal nothing is
going to stop it but you could be
eternal and still have a beginning
as he brought earlier in the m so
therefore the rama argues with the
ramach and he says is not referring to
atmos is referring to hashem's name
hashem's ratson it's called kesser this
is the raz
opinion
to put the argument in a little bit in
different words the way he says it in
the mimer according to the ra means the
of the according to the means the is
according to the ra means when it says
in the of The it's the that comes from
the source which is the says no no the
source is not
means the itself is the
because the atmos the source of the is
which is much deeper than than this is a
big argument in between
and
now
has a big sob and
the famous
there's
and which is from this par
and over there
he goes on and then there's
which is which is of course a comp
so in the explains the view of the view
of the I mean the didn't understand that
is
It's not like these questions I
understand them and the ramak didn't
understand them. Yeah. Obviously you had
a different view. So the explains at
length that there's two ways how you can
describe
a means it has no and it has no gather
usually means it's infinite. So you mean
it extends everywhere every place every
time. In other words there's no time
that's devoid of it. You'll say there's
no place devoid of him. In every place
you'll say he's
means whether in time or in space
there's no limit to it. There's no
there's no end. It's not like this place
is not going to be there. In English
it's called omniresent, right? Present
everywhere. Omnisient knows everything.
Eternal, limitless, timeless.
That's the raz
the ra is a different the
not that it doesn't have a scythe. It
doesn't have a limit in terms of
expansion
means
it has no definition.
When you say a cy it has no scythe it
doesn't only mean in space or time. It
means
there's no way of describing it. There's
no way of defining it. There's no way
not even in terms of expression of
manifestation.
So the rama is talking about a different
talking about a different not really
it's not a fundamental agreement where
the two can't meet. It's that there's a
different definition of that. This is a
long
is now
why is this so relevant here in
basilani?
So as I told you last week generally
especially beginning with
reconciles
the many of the big arguments in
right
we spoke about
showing that each perspective
there's an argument because each view
brings out a different but ultimately
there is reconciliation.
What does say what does the say about
this
says that is right
is the means the itself is doesn't mean
that is wrong
sometimes means the of but it's true at
least here at least in many places means
the itself is
no the itself is a
question is answered because you don't
say you say you're talking about you're
talking about however
the reason is
includes that
the iss but the iss
of is and Here we're just using the word
since
the definition of is that it's a
continuum. It's a revelation. It's a
transmission of the Mer. It's called
it's one with the Mer and its definition
is that it projects it brings out the
Mer. So therefore,
the an of is not just the of on its own.
That's not what is the that comes out in
is the of the source.
It's a carrier.
It's a carrier. It's a transmitter.
Yeah.
In other words, without that
explanation,
that doesn't have that
iss
of the
which means
Yeah. So the the is what you would call
light. It's meal. What is it? Megala. It
reveals what is revealed. What could
come into revelation? That which could
come into revelation. That which lends
itself to the term Gili and Gili by
definition means something that's
experienced, it's perceived, it's
manifested, which that's what means when
we describe physically. When we think
about light, what is it? It allows us to
see, right? Things are here with light
or without light. Without light, I can't
see it. I can't perceive it. It's not
known. It's not experienced. It is it is
in and of itself.
That's the metaphor. What does dor
allows someone outside to be able to
look at it to be able to enjoy to be
able to experience to be able to
perceive it okay that itself there's you
know so many different levels of how
much I perceive and how much I
experience but that's the concept of
so means by definition that which can be
perceived can be experienced can be seen
that is that's its function it brings it
out brings it out to where yeah to a
place where it wasn't there before the
brings out the light of the on allows me
access to it or whatever else emits
light. Everything emits light. The
question is if I could see it or not. We
spoke about most of the universe is
invisible. But everything emits light.
But the light of the sun or the light of
the moon and the light of a candle.
These are types of objects that our eye
perceives the light and therefore we
perceive the source.
Here we're saying something deeper and
that is
and this is the the real and the of this
explained about is that the ain't means
the ain't but what do you mean that the
ain't safe not that the a of the
but the the power of the is that it
captures the a of atmos which is beyond
the g of now what does this mean
Where does this come out? Where does it
express itself?
To put it in different words, we said
right is
because has a source. But since is
really
so embodies in it transmits even
that so even though does have a
beginning this is where this is the even
though doesn't and
that that even though has a be has a
beginning but because
so the captures the
even that doesn't have a beginning even
that comes out in
and And the ramifications of this are
expressed throughout the whole mimer
from the highest place all the way to
the lowest space. Each sif he continues
to explain the ramifications.
Now first we have to understand what
this means. Second of all we have to
understand
like where does it express itself?
What you know what pushed to say this?
So theuda that we brought out earlier is
that it is a paradox. On one hand
is nothing. What do I mean it's nothing?
It doesn't have its own identity, its
own substance. To give the example of
the mirror, when I'm looking in the
mirror, right? What did I give the
mirror? I gave the mirror something
substantial of me. No, nothing. There's
nothing in the mirror. You can go to the
mirror. There's nothing there, right?
And the moment I walk away, there's
nothing left in the mirror. It's not
like the reflection is going to is going
to remain there because there was
nothing there. It was just my
reflection. I didn't give the mirror
something. It's not like we spoke the
difference of right. I gave you
something substantial. It's like
I poured water into your cup. I gave you
something substantial.
I didn't give you anything substantial.
Sheffa is like a teacher giving a
student something. It's a t targeted.
It's designated to him. It's tailor
made. It's custom made even when the
teacher is gone. Could be even after his
passing. The student holds on to
something forever. It's not like the
mirror. You gave nothing to the mirror.
That's on the other hand. The mirror
captures everything that's in the
source. The mirror is an accurate. If if
I'm looking in the mirror and you're
looking at my reflection in the mirror,
what do you see? You see the perfect
truth. You see the per on one end you
saw nothing. There's nothing there.
There's no substance here. There's no
shea. Yeah. That's the my you actually
gave something substantial.
I gave you a cup of water and it's
missing from the source. I pour water
from a picture into a cup. That water
was depleted from the source. Oh, it's
not depleted.
It's not like I'm diminished because of
my reflection in the mirror. Like you
have less of me. It's like, oh, it's too
much. This is a copy of me. It's not a
copy. It's fine. A teacher is teaching
it occupies him. If the mirror is in
front of me, not in front of me, doesn't
make a difference. I may not even know
there's a mirror. Yeah. Somebody takes a
picture of me. The same I don't know. I
may not even know. It's not taking up
anything from the source. It's not
depleting the source.
Why? Because there's no substance in it.
On the other hand, because of the the
the my love of chaffos as a
captures a certain dimension which is
condensed, which is filtered, which is
restricted, the mirror have everything.
This is a mush. It's only a mush. is a
physical mash to bring out the in of
that
that gives us access to everything in
the source. That's the of But what do
you mean it gives access?
What what do you mean it gives access?
Atmos, Hashem's essence
has no definition, has no description.
We don't even use on it the word
existence. We don't use on it the word
finite. We don't use on it the word
infinite. As the says there,
we don't say it's finite. So say it's
infinite, you don't say it's infinite.
Say it is. You don't say it is. Say it's
not. You don't say it's not. You don't
even say it's not. Not not yes or not.
Not not not. In other words, I have no
words. I have no description. All terms
of experience and existence is already
aish of this is all experience
existence. It's tangible. Yeah. We say
something exists. Even spirituality it
exists. It's transcendent. These are all
that don't apply to atmos. What do you
mean they don't apply in is a source for
it but it can't be described by it?
Can't be defined by it. Theam calls
hashemus built
a nonexistential state of existence.
that says
I'm calling it an existence because what
should I call it? Non-existence. You're
going to get the wrong impression.
You'll think I'm an atheist. But really,
the word existence is as good as the
word non non-existence. Is that mitas?
It's a mitsus. But the only reason we're
calling it a mitsus is because what else
should I say? Yeah. What what else
should I say? I say it doesn't exist.
Okay. In fact, it may be more accurate
because the way I tea doesn't exist the
way I describe existence. Yeah. So it's
it's but it's built
it's not defined by any properties of
mits including the idea that we say yeah
it the word it right. What does it mean?
Everything is it. Yeah. This is an it
and I'm an it and everything is it.
Existence. What's included in the word
existence? What's not? What's included
in the world reality? Is my shirt
included in reality? Yeah. Is the coffee
bean included in reality? Is this house?
Yeah. And the mic also. What's not
included in the word reality? My
thoughts and my feelings and my emotions
and my fantasies and my hallucinations
and my fears and my love everything is
included in the word reality
and we call it real but that's all mits
is physical not physical tangible
intangible very spiritual extremely
transcendent here we're saying
can capture this
what's
because what's means light what does
light mean light means there's
perception something is seen something
is perceived There's some form of you're
being experienced. You're being seen.
That's what light does.
Says comes down to that. This is what
explains this of the that because of the
B of the because the definition of is
what's the definition of the is the only
mitsus in the world that says I'm not a
mitz.
The definition of the mitsus of is I
have no definition.
My identity is I have no identity. He
doesn't say I don't have an identity
because then you don't need you have
says my identity is that I'm just you're
light. I I don't exist. In other words,
the moment you talk about me, you're not
in you're in a different place. You're
in Sheffa. You're in different places.
As I told you the first time, has no
identity crisis. Why doesn't have
identity crisis? To have an identity
crisis, you have to have an identity,
right? People who don't have an identity
in a good way. This is why I said,
"Right, the violin doesn't have an
identity crisis in the middle of a
concert, they like me. They don't like
me. They're gonna hire me. They're not
gonna hire me."
I think I said once that I once met
somebody, he was a big artist. He was a
musician. He played in Carnegie Hall.
And I asked him, "How do you know you're
successful in the middle of a concert?
What's called success?"
So he told me, "If I'm playing and I'm
not present, if I'm not present, that's
success. My fingers are just a channel
for the music. That's a
hamag. Sometimes artists perform. It
could be in the middle of playing
basketball, could be painting, could be
communicating, could be writing, could
be speaking, could be singing.
And you're full of self-consciousness.
What are they thinking? What are they
not thinking? Anybody relates to this?
Huh? You relate to this? Yeah. You don't
even have to be an artist for this,
right? You don't have to be an artist to
have self-consciousness. Yeah. This is
this is what this is what happens. The
but the violin doesn't have this
problem. Why not not because he's
stupid,
right? Not because he's stupid because
he transcends it. Because okay so violin
is not a he's a
he can get when the that's that's a
that's a muscle for
I have no identity. So what who am I?
But I'm I am is something. Is it
something or is it nothing? The answer
is this is the answer is the
somethingness of is that it's nothing.
That's the of it's something but what's
the definition of it? That it's nothing.
That is its definition. The mitas of is
that it has no mitas. That is its
definition. In other words, it's mitas
is that I am here just to bring out to
transmit to carry that which I come from
the source. That's complete B of because
of that
has the ability to carry so to speak not
just the source which is reflected in
which is captured through revelation but
what's the reason that there's the
reason there's he says later in the
because essence
it has the capacity to express itself it
also has the capacity not to express
itself there was no need for if Hashem
didn't want there wouldn't have What
would the world look like without? There
would be no relationship.
Is the beginning of all relationship is
the beginning of all connection.
It is the beginning of the eye being
perceived by the other. That's the
beginning of it in the ultimate source.
Then it comes down many levels.
Hashem has a capacity for he has
capacity for no. So when the comes out
because of the bal to the source and the
definition of is that it's
so therefore the
doesn't just capture the the of the
captures something deeper the explain to
use the shness in the m later the shows
that the reason I'm here is because
because hashem has the capacity to
reveal himself the fact that he has the
capacity to reveal himself comes from
the same capacity not to reveal himself.
It's the same capacity
has to express not to express. So the
fact that I'm expressing myself is not
because I have to express myself. It's
because of my capacity to express myself
which is one with my capacity not to
express myself. So is capturing the if
it's capturing the it's also capturing
the fact that I could not express
myself. So that also comes out in
so could also express
his ability to not
yeah to be
so expresses the truth what's the truth
the truth is he doesn't have to express
himself SO NEVER GETS STUCK IN because
he's real never takes himself seriously
because is real so what does he
expresses the truth I don't have to be
expressed so why am I expressed because
I can be expressed AND I CAN BE NOT
EXPRESSED IN THE SAME WAY EXPRESSION IS
no more real than lack of expression but
it's also no more FALSE AND IT EXPRESSES
THAT. So me expresses also the
expressionless dimension ofos. It
expresses also the darkness of
atmosition.
You hear you understand
okay good
choice.
Huh?
Is it a choice?
You know, I come into the room, I don't
have a choice that you shouldn't see me
because everything comes with already.
It's package deal. Yeah. You don't want
I should see you stay home. If you're
going to come out, we're going to see
you, you know, right? We don't say, "Oh,
you're here and your is here." We don't
distinguish anymore between the two.
But in the Yeah. In the ish is a it has
a source. What's the kdesh? The kdesh is
that atmos allows it wants that reality
or that which is beyond reality should
be experienced. Now what does it mean
that which is beyond reality should be
experienced? That's called reality.
The of the word reality is
what's reality? Reality is some form of
of talking about existence. That's the
beginning of that is atmos I can't talk
about. I can't even talk about the fact
that I can't talk about it because I
have nothing to say.
It precedes any definition including the
definition that it precedes definitions.
So I'm trying to say something but I'm
not saying it because I don't know what
to say. Right? Is already a beginning of
conversation. Translates built into
because that's what means means a form
of revelation. What's revelation?
Revelation means there's a form I can
perceive it. I can grasp it. I can see
it.
Does R have recognition
because
definition is that it's nothing but
pointing to its source.
So it doesn't have recognition of atsmos
but in its in its bit to atmos it
captures not just that which lends
itself to expression which is a very
limited form and very limited reality
but rather this is the of that
is it's the of atmos that comes out in
in other words even the even the fact of
that it has no beginning because it has
no definition and therefore it has no
beginning it's completely different type
of mits even that can be brought out in
that's the of the
captures how is there because hashem has
a capacity it's called he has a capacity
right to reveal himself he has a
capacity to be you don't say reveal
himself he has a capacity to be that's
already the word a cap hashem has the
capacity to be to exist That's a
that capacity to be is not forced. It's
not essential. It's not it has to be
that way. It's part of his infinite. He
could be law, he could be, he could be
not, he could not be, he could be not.
He could be all three things be, be not,
not be.
Because of this there's also the
capacity of so which is completely loyal
and dedicated to the source substance is
that it has no substance outside of the
source. So says this the reason I'm here
is not that I'm essentially have to be
here. I'm expressing his capacity to be
to be expressed which is the same as his
capacity not to be expressed. So
expresses also that which can't be
expressed the expressionless.
trying to ask the capacity to express
comes from the same fact that
of course
how does but I but I don't understand
how it could express
um the capacity to not express itself I
understand that it could express its
capacity to express but
oh good
be
very good very good is good is good
the rabbi that with darkness
huh
rabbi equates that with darkness I'm
using the word darkness that captures
also the darkness of the the absence
I'm using the word darkness
in other words since the and is one
thing it's not two separate things it's
one thing inmos
and what's the definition of the
definition of is yeah that I'm I'm I'm
manifesting I'm transmitting
of so in comes out not just is to
express himself
because the expression is coming from
where from the same place where there's
an ability not to express himself
so brings out also the fact that I don't
exist even else
that's also that's also given out in
remains feel the same way. Still remain
still feels
because never becomes something.
When you become something, you have this
crisis. It never becomes something. When
you become something, now you have to
ask yourself, who am I? Who I'm not? I
told you in earth there's no identity
crisis. So you differentiate between.
So why are you differentiating between?
You differentiate between because
I'm smiling because it's a good
question. I'm not smiling because it's a
bad question.
You differentiate between andmos because
we we're having a shar about it. That's
the differentiation.
You understood what I just said.
So the Reb brought out that this is what
brought wrote in his last letter in Gak
that our world our world
comes from directly that's the reason
why Haza is the only world that feels
that it has no source even if we
understand that we have a source but we
feel we have no source in our experience
We are completely autonomous, completely
independent. I don't feel I have a
progenitor. Even though the emmesis
everything has a source, we call this
world yes. Why something from nothing?
It's nothing. Hashem is nothing. We call
it nothing because in our world it's not
a mitus. God is not a mitsus in our
world. Put him in every laboratory,
under every telescope, and every
microscope. You won't find him.
It took thousands of years to discover
viruses, fungi, atoms, electrons, all
these things. We didn't have the tools,
right? What about Hashem? Somebody once
said, uh, it was a famous philosopher in
France. So, he once said an astronomer,
sorry, an astronomer. So, he had the
biggest telescope, most sophisticated
telescope. He says, "I looked
everywhere. I looked throughout the
whole cosmos and I didn't find God." I
didn't find God.
So there was a violinist who responded
and he said, "The other day I wanted to
see what's inside my violin. So I broke
it apart into small particles
and it was completely splintered and
then I put every piece under a
microscope and I couldn't find music."
Right? I couldn't find music. That was
that was his response.
In the world of the telescope or the
microscope, there's no music.
Or to put it differently, the eye never
saw itself. I don't think anybody's eye
ever saw itself. It's the source of
everything else you see. But my eye
never saw it. I could see your eye, but
I never saw my eye unless I'm looking in
a mirror.
We call it Yeshin because in our world
it it's not a mitz. It does. It's not a
mitz. I don't see it. I don't touch it.
I don't feel it. Not with my five and
not even with my deeper. Love I could
say is a mitsus.
So we call it not that it doesn't exist
in my world. I call it so it's me.
That's what I call I could talk about
it. I can prove it. I could try to prove
it. We can explain this. We but
intuitively it's not a
you see acknowledges everything that
happens substitute. So that's so says
where does that come from? Where does
that mitas come from that we should call
a doesn't exist in any other world not
in ganadel no world calls alusion
nothing only here
why so he says because this world comes
taka from atmos and hashem in his
essence tak has no source so we feel the
same way we feel we have no source
where's my source I am sorry not
registered I never got the memo no
yesesh ever got a memo that it comes
comes from anywhere. Why? Cuz you embody
doesn't come from anywhere. Hashem is
the only thing in the world that doesn't
have a source.
There's no there's no source. It's taken
in a real sense. Where does it come
from? Doesn't come from anywhere.
And got that gift because you can't
every every product reflects its
creator, right? I give I create that
which I have. That which I don't have I
can't create. So all the divine energies
when they bring things into existence
they give them what they have. They feel
they have a source. SO THEIR PRODUCTS
feel they have a source. Everything
feels they have a source. But Haza has
this direct link that it embodies atmos
but it doesn't feel like it has a source
because that comes from a place that
doesn't have a source.
That's the of that's what says in
but says that the bri happened through
the happened through the went into kale
as he explained so gives the
structure of the universe the
but the atmos the bria happened through
question is what do you mean the bria
happened through
it has a source
has a source had to feel it ah but if
you say that because of the B of it
captures the of
that's also an
gives the I have no beginning I have no
source
there is there a reason why you have to
go through
off topic
it's not off topic
you're saying so skip everything just Go
straight from atmos. Yeah. Straight to
Laza and Gandic. Boom.
It's the same. Ask a deeper question.
Skip two. Let's create.
These simple questions are the best
questions, right? What do you we need
all these
question?
Huh?
Oh,
so this is where where the where yeah,
you're answering. Well,
the whole point of sashulus is that the
relationship should be on our terms.
Huh?
Yeah. The whole idea of as a
relationship, Hashem could do whatever
he wants. He could create, he could not
create, he can create whatever he wants.
There's no rules. We just said in
there's no rules. There's not even the
rule of right. You're right. That's
true. He could have done whatever he
wanted.
But somewhere in the deepest place,
Hashem wanted a relationship that's
real. And a relationship that's real
means not only that you can do whatever
you want with me, but that we have a
real connection. A real real and a real
connection means a connection on my
terms and on your terms. That means that
I should be able to experience you and
you should be able to experience me.
Every element of is responsible for a
different part of the human brain, for a
different part of the human
consciousness. Every part of is
responsible for another aspect of
reality. Every aspect of is the way is
manifested in a particular form in a
particular gad in a particular in a
particular spir in a particular
consciousness that gives rise to a
particular experience in the world and
to a particular experience within our
psyche. So the whole sedanalus is really
a mirror. It's a mirror of all the
dynamics that happen in a person.
There's
literally every
every
is a mirror of a certain dimension
within the human soul within the human
psyche. Literally everything and every
and the world everything in the world
you could point to this aspect. It's a
reflection of this element of this
element. There's the in the world and
there's the mali in the world and
there's the malus in the world and
there's in the world and there's this
world there's this element this
dimension what's the what's the tus of
it the tlus of it is that this way the
connection with hashem is not just a
connection one way it's a connection
where there's fusion where there's
complete adus where I can actually get
you I can experience you I can become
one with you in an internalized way not
just in a superficial way
so
is what allows the human being's
identity to connect to Hashem's
identity, so to speak.
Do you understand what I'm saying or not
really? Huh?
Think about it.
Now, that's the concept of Tim. What was
Timum? Timsum is Hashem, so to speak,
compressed himself into a world of
identity,
right? into a world of where there is
finitness where there's so that we can
have a connection we can have a
relationship I impact you you impact me
for example you speak about spheris
what does all this mean it means inab
it's called hashem has a personality he
has a persona
if you wouldn't have a personality I
wouldn't have a personal how we how do
we connect to each other
we connect to each other because we
reflect each other we mirror each other
we relate to each other. We celebrate
each other. You have love. I have love.
You have fear. I have fear. Right? You
have perception. I have perception.
So that's where we connect. We can we
can merge. There's
allows there to be
that a person should be able to
experience within his within his or her
individual personality.
So for this you have
sous is the way divinity comes into a
structure so that my structured life
should be able to have godliness as a
backdrop. That's what I am is really our
world. It's what our world looks like in
an ideal in an ideal fashion.
What does it look like to create a world
that reflects the truth of the world? So
that's what is like a backdrop you know
like a architect a contractor uses the
blueprint to be able to design a house.
Soilus bria these are different levels
of designing the house is like the
blueprint of this world. So you say our
world evolved from
it says in that the 10 of a personal
they come from the 10 spheres they could
reflect the 10 spheres. What does that
mean really? That the 10 spheres are a
backdrop right
how a person's
becomes aligned with with Hashem. So
that's the whole is that way for this
went into all of these ca into all of
these filtered and condensed into all of
these features
without it if there would be no hashem
could do whatever he wants but that
there should be an internalized
relationship that a person should be
able to refine themselves and uh tune in
that every feature of my personality
could become a a reflection of that
wouldn't be shak Again, Hashem could
make a miracle, do whatever he wants.
But I'm talking from an internalized
way. That's why is so important because
there's a lot going on in people's
lives, right? That's your
that is your morning, your afternoon,
your evening. You have happy days, you
have difficult days, you have days that
you're up, you have days that you're
down, you have thrilling days,
exhilarating days, stressful days.
There's a dynamic. A person is not
static. A person is not lifeless, numb,
and dead. There's a rhythm. There's
there's a rhythm, right? What's the
power of a niggan? The power of a niggan
is it's not the same note.
There's a ballad
that once wrote to somebody in a letter
doesn't only mean I sing to Hashem
during my life.
I sing to Hashem with my life. Life is a
song. And like a song, it has ups and
downs. And there's sad moments in a
song. And there's beautiful and and
lively moments. There's high notes and
there's low notes. It's a niggan. You
don't have to amputate any part of your
life. You just have to align it, right?
It's like chords of a violin. What does
say an
about
I am I am a harp for your uh for your
melodies. later it was taken for but it
comes from in his what is it called um
so
it means my soul is a harp for your
niggan but there's different chords that
produce different every in a person is
just another aspect of
you have to fine-tune it that it
reflects
so that there's complete aas there's
complete fusion So you don't have to run
away from any part every that's why
you'll see this of
and this part of a person and that part
of a person and every
you hear it's all another
you don't have to get afraid of it you
just have to find how it's aligned the
big shila is yeah is there a
relationship with Hashem himself or it's
just you know God's playing monopoly
with me so he sits down on the law and
he makes believe that he takes Monopoly
game seriously.
That's really the of
So you could say two ways. You could say
that no is his own thing and there's
nothing to say over there and you know
whatever. It's just completely removed
that we have no sh over there.
There's no get there's no you he doesn't
need anything. You can't do anything for
him. You can't even say love or he loves
you.
question.
There was a rashiva and a particularly
yeshiva last a few years ago before a
mother called me. That's why I know he
asked his students in high school if uh
if if they think that God loves them.
They all said yeah. So he explained to
them that it's aus
because basic whole philosophy is well
he loves you so now he has need so he's
missing something right without the love
he's missing something. So it's aus
philosophy itself there was this whole
problem Hashem is completely removed
with emotions what is needed needy yeah
but what does that do with it basically
says there's no relationship it's just
for you he gave you he gave you a good
idea you should be able to have a good
life and have so as I gave a mush
imagine
I don't mean to give anybody ideas but
imagine you're getting married right but
before you get engaged you turn to your
wife and you say would you like to marry
me but before you do I just want to tell
you that I don't need this.
Maybe some people do it.
I don't need this. I'm perfect. But you
know what? It's good for you because
you won't you won't be able to damage
the relationship. Whatever you do, it
doesn't matter. It's just for your sake.
If you behave well, you'll have a good
life. If not, you're going to have a bad
life. But in terms of me, you can't
touch me. You can't affect me. You know,
what type of relationship is it? So
that's why in cabala there's the idea of
elus theum right there is a relationship
the there's mid all that
but what about
so this is where comes in this is where
comes in yeah I'm sorry
you can ask
sounds like
good Good, good, good question.
Good question. Good question.
Good question.
So, we're going to get to that.
So, so what's the summation of all of
this? It's clear a little bit what I'm
saying, huh?
Or not so clear?
Oh, very clear.
It's clear.
That's what means means I want to live
in you, in your identity.
people think means Hashem wants you
should build a house in your basement
and he's going to hang out there. A girl
wrote me an email a few weeks ago.
She's in a school and she said that she
always learns that the purpose of life
is and she finds it to be very selfish.
God wanted to build a home somewhere.
Let him go build it. I have to dedicate
my life to build him a home in the
basement somewhere.
It's very in her words it's completely
narcissistic.
And my whole life has to be for that.
She missed that one point.
She thinks is somebody's house means in
you.
Means in me, right? Imagine somebody
comes to you and says, "Listen, I have
everything, but somehow I'm not
satisfied. All I want for the rest of my
life is I want to be with you." That
doesn't sound selfish.
That's what I want to be with you. But
what does with you mean? With you
doesn't just mean I want to live in your
kitchen.
Means your identity.
Every feature of your identity, your
personality, including your struggles.
Including your struggles. That's
doesn't your struggles.
I just want to be with you.
So that's where comes in.
Without that, a relationship on that
level would maybe be a miracle. God
could do whatever he wants. Again, he
also could create me and do whatever he
wants and he could create a robot and
and make a we're talking here about a
relationship that is genuine that I have
to work out just like with two people
who have a relationship. It has to be on
my terms and on your terms, right?
If you don't exist in a relationship,
it's not a relationship. Without
sashulus, you couldn't exist in a
relationship. You heard what I said?
You understand
with
you exist in the relationship.
You exist in the relationship. But the
question is, yeah, it's on your terms.
Now, is it on his terms? Is it really on
his terms or God just says, you know,
let's let this be a fake relationship?
And that's the ultimate shila. How real
is this relationship?
Or to put it differently, how real
isite?
Now, this is the deepest. This is the
most important one. How real is your I
don't mean real externally. It's real to
happen. How real is it in reality?
How real is it in reality?
For the soldiers to be able to fight the
war, they have to have the they have to
have the treasure. What's the
is that everything is at stake. Not that
it's just real in fact. It's not a
madeup story on on on the news media.
It's not fake news. Here real I mean how
real is it? How negay is it? How
relevant is it? How much is creation a
joke? And how real is it? Or is it
really a joke? Because you know, real
philosophers get very cynical and very
very pessimistic about life.
Huh? I have I have I'm already on my
second. That's why I'm not sleeping.
How real is it? In other words, in real
atsmos, in atmos itself, how real is my
life? How real is your life? How real is
your headache?
You'll say, "Okay, don't exaggerate."
You know, don't take yourself so
seriously,
right? There's an expression from the
showed how small a person is, but how
great he or she can become.
And it's
when you realize how small you are, you
also realize how great you can become.
You know, one is dependent on the other.
So it's all part of the same.
So because
so because
captures everything
and the reason it captures everything is
because it's nothing. Because if it
would be something it wouldn't capture
anything, would capture very little
because it's nothing. It captures
everything. So therefore the atmos could
be given over through.
So that
is what creates which feels like a which
comes from
and was
she uses that the creation happened and
is
that which reflects its source. It it
projects its source is an energy that
doesn't project its source is usually
the source of it is
called niv when something is separate
from its source. If I throw a football,
the football flies. It comes from me,
but my energy is now detached from me.
You may know that I have thrown it, but
you're not going to see it in the
football. You may know that it was
somebody who who's athletic, somebody
who knows how to throw a football, but
you don't see the connection in
because
has the ability theos.
So therefore captures not just the
ability of giloy it also captures the
ability to create
in other words the ability for atmos to
be dark to be nonreflected which is what
our world is our world doesn't reflect
you have to philosophize you have to dig
but intuitively
we relate to
how does do that because captures also
the ayion of atmos captures the ability
of atmos to be not a mitus
to be not to be not reflected. That's
the comes out through
it all in one word.
Huh?
We see it in this world. Allows us to
understand darkness. Simple.
Explain.
Without we wouldn't understand darkness.
Okay. Your words are a little dark. So
maybe you can uh illuminate what you're
saying. You're saying light allows us to
understand and appreciate darkness.
You can understand it.
Without light, you couldn't understand
darkness.
Understand darkness.
She's saying in the it's the same thing
that it allows you to perceive not just
that
but why why because the is the same like
so if is telling you the truth it's
telling you that God's capacity to
project is the same capacity like not to
project so the fact that he's projecting
is coming from the same place that can
also nonproject other the projection is
trapped by the need to project
right it's not trapped by so says the
whole story says yes I'm meal you what
am I meala your ability to be MEALA AND
ALSO NOT to be meala that I'm also mala
and in that moment comes the connection
between atmos and mitsus through
seems like it that only happens once the
earth is perceived
Oh, now what what what now? Now what's
this O? Now what's this O?
This is O as is so to speak of it's
called
the capacity of Hashem which is actually
inside of him. The capacity of Hashem to
be known to be to be shown to to to to
be it to be is. The word is is. We're
going to make up a word. Isness. It's a
new word. I sen nes. Is it a new word? I
think so. Isness. Isness. Is
huh? Beeness.
By n. That's all. O. Isness.
What is isness?
Yeah, we isness is really Hashem, but
it's not atmos. It's
it's
right where the name of Hashem
which is it's called
is is
existence. That's why somebody says I
deny God. I don't believe in God. No
problem. But the Jew those words don't
make sense. They also deny existence.
That's it. You're calling it God because
people look at God like some being
existent. Do you deny existence?
Anybody denies existence?
Do you deny isness? Do you deny reality?
It's a reflection of that.
That's the truth.
So isness is
but but it's not atmos. Atmos is not
isness. Now what happens with this
isness? What is isness?
This is part of isness, right?
But the highest highest spiritual
transcendent reality is also part of
isness.
So this is where begins the journey
begins the journey. So I said last week
it says in is the first
is the first of what is a relationship
is I'm sending somebody to go somewhere
to do something where I can't be or I
don't want to be or whatever it is. So
what's is you're transporting you're
carrying
through the the first
so to speak outside of is the union of
but what is in essence it's ability to
be translated into isness is that really
atmos it's a joke that's why is nothing
atmos is isness that's as much atmos as
atmos is not isness
you understand that's that's why on one
hand is a harder it's just a ray it's
not what it mean just a ray doesn't
doesn't capture the essence. It's just a
ray of the essence. It's the way atmos
comes out in isness.
Am I being clear or you think I'm crazy?
Okay.
Crystal is crystal.
Is that why puts me because the is
realizing that I can't be optimist I
have to
that's the last the way the end of this
is that it all comes out
it all comes out it's not
that he's going to get to that what
shabas is
so so
is already existence isness beingness
yeah now the atheist
[Laughter]
because the atheist is living in Alam
Haza and he's also a product of atmos
right so he could come and say yeah
no business
no business even though of course he's
contradicting himself because if you'll
take away from him his career
huh
if you take away his isness I don't know
you know if you take away the Nobel
prize
how deep it's going to go okay but
that's a separate chila
But the is that this ability of that
comes from that's beyond anything
doesn't have any source and that comes
out in but it comes out through
this was supposed to be my introduction
my summation my summation
learn from me
to one word you got it down to one word.
Okay. But let's let's can't let
Huh. Okay.
It's it's it's like it's it's it's a
whole puzzle. It's like a building a
building, you know. There's a lot of
details and a lot of nikudas. You could
sit here.
So if you take a look at page at pageud
gimmel
page gimmel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
lines from the bottom
gimmel. This is
[Music]
battle.
Now we understand what this means when
it says
it doesn't only mean that through I can
have some glimpse some appreciation of
the source that too it means further
something else because it's it captur
captures the aspect THAT THE MER HAS NO
SOURCE THAT ALSO CAPTURES EVEN THOUGH
IT'S A PARADOX OR IT DOES HAVE A SOURCE.
So if YOU LOOK AT ME, I HAVE A SOURCE.
HOW CAN I EMBODY THAT WHICH has no
source when I do have a source? That's
the
if you look at me, I have a source. So
how can I give you a feeling that you
don't have no source when when I have a
source?
That's the of the
of
that of it captures it embodies
it embodies it transmits that inmos that
in the
it doesn't have a
that comes out of and that's what has
what we that's what we that's what we
have
we don't reflect atmos we embody atmos
how could we embody atmos
that's the that's the power of that is
even that which is beyond
even of which is not because is a
reflect is a continuum
is all about a source that is doesn't
have a source what's THAT'S THE WHOLE
IS not its own thing.
Yeah. The comes out. Yeah.
She said before,
are we looking into the art to discover
or we looking to discover or are they
both so inter that the art helps us
discover
that our is
you'll see in a moment.
This is the
we said
and here's a you don't have in other
places. I think this is I don't know if
I I don't know if I I don't think I ever
saw it anywhere else that is usually
understood that the goes down
everywhere. It has no limits. He's
saying not not the not that the is just
endless. It's a much deeper
means that it's
to the point that it creates the whole
until the lowest levels that completely
feel detached that also comes from
because can create the
goes everywhere.
Something much deeper than that. the the
is of which is
and therefore IT CAN CREATE A
CAN CREATE something that's completely
detached in its own PERCEPTION
I is the opposite of when you have it's
all about a source but because of the of
it captures even the independence of
atmos so because is completely nothing
it's everything it has even the complete
independence of the the the the
come out in there and that could come
out and create
that's the
now
I want you to be typhus here how this
develops now cuz it's it's this is
something that's absolutely stunning.
We'll go another another 15 minutes.
He continues in the
original
from this that we're talking about came
worlds and
Without end, without limit.
Here's
a bombshell.
If this is the about
where does this lead us? We we fine. So
there's this concept in whether we as
much as we understand it and relate to
it.
Here goes the next step.
Life didn't stop at
it didn't. If life would have stopped
right there, right?
What would reality look like?
Huh?
Yeah. We know that it came all the way
down all the way to Maza. So now the
rest of the mime till the till the last
piece which is an
goes through the evolution from this
original moment of till we got to this
table here on for dogwood place in
pomona or anywhere else in the world
that's what the go and here's the if
this is true
about
that what that the
It captures the true he calls it.
Not just that the is infinite because it
extends everywhere because it's like the
light of the sun a powerful sun right
the light is going to go everywhere.
Hashem is so powerful and infinite so
the light is going to go everywhere but
the light is only that which can be
expressed. Well, here we're saying that
also captures the
that's the of that doesn't have any
has no beginning that's also
communicated in.
So if this is the case,
we come now to this great great
revolutionary idea
that everything in the world ultimately
is everything is
everything is. So you say one one second
you spoke about shea we speak about
simpum we speak about spherus we speak
about me identity
the here is going to be this
if
would have been limited to meaning if
the definition of is what to see the
source that's it then if I see the
source
it's if I don't see the source it's not
right well you don't see the source it's
not but he explains explained in the
previous
that is not just that I could see the
source also transmits
and embodies the source which CAN'T BE
SEEN IN I SEE NO source I see nothing I
see me and then also comes out through
the says based on this we understand
that every creation that came from Even
that which exists in the lowest level of
reality that is completely so to speak
severed from its source really what is
it
really it's
so all the distinctions that we make
inulus
shea and this level and that level that
mga it's just how we access it and
process it ma from our perception
because we have to work it through cuz
as I said before it's about a
relationship that you have to work
through it has you have to own it
but when you get to the pimus of it what
is it it's just articulating itself in
endless different levels and if that's
the case then life gives us the
opportunity of ultimate aus of ultimate
fusion every moment of life becomes the
deepest celebration in which you're
dancing with atmos
Huh?
So that even the
is
because captures the ayion.
So since all of comes from so the goes
through a huge process
and this is basically what happens in
the m in theb talks about in its
original form.
What it is is atmos has the ability to
be.
Then there is yeah this expressing
itself
its capacity to create infinite
creations.
The the capacity of isness to express
itself in infinite ways. I ask you a
question. How many ways can I express
itself in?
what's happen be another million things
introduced a concept called spherus
doesn't exist in kab
said
wrote it down he introduced a mus called
spherus an kates and kabal is usually
10b said no there's a mus called spherus
an kates the says here because because
in this
What's its capacity to express itself in
HOW MANY WAY IS not spherous is light?
Light is no structure. Spher is
structure. But if
in the isness of God, yeah, what can
come from it? Huh?
In the in this isness, I'm I'm using the
word isness. I don't have a better word.
I can use the wordh.
So I'm being he said beingness. I said
isness. Whatever you want to say.
It's the capacity of isness to create
whatever could have been infinite or
there is infinite levels.
It's the same thing.
You want to know if it could be or it
is. If it could be, it is. But is over
there is on a different level
by you. Could be and is is different
because we all have dreams that we never
fulfill. Right? But in a level of
reality where are the same could be and
is is
you understand what I'm saying?
If it could be, it is. It's just not is
by us. Is means, you know, I need the
money in the bank. That's is till it's
in the bank, it doesn't exist, right?
But that's just because our tools
could be is a mity is just like is.
Well, why is it less?
You get what I'm saying? If I could put
could be in under an X-ray. It is. It is
in a different realm. It is in a
different realm. There's the famous, you
know, the mess. There was once a yid
measure bush. He got into a fight with a
guy in shul and he said I'm going to
tear you like a fish. The bos was there
and he put he said that should put their
hands on each other and close their
eyes. They sang a niggan right and they
saw that the guy is tearing him like a
fish.
You know the ma. So what did the bos
say? The bos said words are reality.
It's just a reality on a different
level.
Yeah, that's why it's brought says in
that affects three people badly. The one
who speaks it, the one who hears it, and
the one you're talking about.
I'm I'm talking about real. I'm not
talking about saving people from a
murderer just for clarity
talking real
not it's not an
right. So the bash said I understand the
speaker I'm not supposed to and the
listener but why the guy who he says
when you talk about something you bring
it out. So the debi used to say when you
speak positively about somebody you also
bring it out it's a reality what's what
the reality it comes out into
so this is already spherious
introduced
yeahb
says but there was aum why is there aum
why do you need aum
because
you're not going to get from a cat to
can without
symptoms allows there to be tense and
they go into where everyone is
structured and that's whereas begins.
So here we're not talking anymore
right the there's 10 spheres and they
have and all that and without it
couldn't happen because what's simp
means that the whole had to be suspended
because if would be present
you couldn't have the mitas of the
mitsus of finitness why
because it would scream my Finitness is
all infinity.
What allows me and you to have our
structured identities.
It's allum. You had to suspend the whole
feeling of infinity. The whole
experience of blev
the whole experience. Remember is all
God. It's all hashem. The word God is
actually
isness, existence, source, everything,
reality
eliminates all of that. It creates this
void and allows there to be a mitas of
finitness.
So the Reb says even that's
also
it's just the way is expressing itself
in in in finite structures and again
it's all part of this. If was defined by
revelation,
it wouldn't work.
It got stopped at some point. God can do
that. But if is not defined by
revelation
created
which is
in other words can embody
which is not revealed. I call him
nothing because he's not revealed. So
then even inul is the same just
articulated in a certain way. I
experience it as
in cifh the says what about our world in
our world it's not just this god finite
THERE'S NO NO PRESENCE OF ANY we just
seem
so he says when you study the diversity
of creation and the system of creation
you'll see
you have to study it but it's all there
in other words it's articulated in every
single madreg of existence
So it's interesting he started off with
to explain what is then he goes to
spheres
which is the way
is manifested yeah if god's being
creates what could it create what comes
from it anything and anything without
kates that he explains from the
postsum
or it comes into kale and this tense
spirit this but it's still bleak that he
explains from the the way it comes in
still ain't that he explains from the
which brings him back to the of what
really is and why it can do all this and
that's from the
and that's this way he went through all
the and then in he says what does this
all mean in a
and he brings the mag to explain it in a
that's how the Mahes. So it starts off
with atmos
the way would be expressed
in that which comes from all before
postsum butilis and then
which is our world and then how it's
expressed in a and it brings all the to
this it brings us to back to this one of
which is that there's there could the
ultimate ultimate fusion.
You still need because without
again you could skip all these steps but
then you have to cut out parts of
yourself and inad everything is pimus.
You don't cut out anything. It's all
integrated.
That's why there's
we don't and every mga is is a
reflection of a certain experience in
life.
That's why it says always that every has
a so people learning orum or spirus
where's the well what's negate to my
life breakfast is going to be different
my boss is going to be in a better mood
because of it but it's a
misunderstanding if you can't translate
it to a particular experience in life
you didn't understand it
you hear what I'm saying there's no such
a thing you're learning exodus a madrega
and it's a madrea it's a pilp in in elus
That's that's not it. You're missing the
point.
Yes.
Huh?
Kabala. Yes.
Uh you say what about Kabala? So Ashab
once said that the world thinks that is
a beard on Kabala.
The em is
the
so what's
so I heard from Khan once
once had a and he explained to the bakar
he said and it's very powerful
I'm going to give a dugma from a secular
branch of wisdom but it's a good dugma
there's mathematics and there's physics
they're two separate things. But physics
today employs the language of
mathematics to describe anything in
physics. Any equation in physics, they
use mathematics. But mathematics is not
physics.
Completely not.
The alterba decided to employ the
language of kabala to explain
but it's not the same.
Kabala is the language of spiritual
mathematics. The spiritual science of
the universe is conveyed through
cababalistic language. Butidis brings
out the of.
So when so Kabala is a beard onus
because Kabala shows how the is
reflected in
and in this world and in that world and
in this relationship and
But then of
the of it that's expressed in so there's
no such thing as doesn't have a it
always has an application to life or in
the words of the blood of which is the
so means that it's close it's relevant
doesn't mean it's it's within a foot
means it's close to me it's applicable
it's relevant
If it's not relevant,
you're missing the point. The once said
in the because the whole was created for
the relationship.
So if you don't explain
Yeah. to say the thing was was created
in vain.
You understand? The whole purpose is you
should explain it in a because
so if you don't explain it in avoid it's
missing its tas
in other words if doesn't come into so
then is like why do I exist I exist for
you
said unbelievable
you understand in other words we have to
be adal about it when
needs me to explain it in my avoid Yeah,
you shouldn't say it in an egotistical
way. It's anishkite. But the point is
based on the doesn't mean he's standing
above you and watching you. He's
standing on you. You're holding him up.
Not standing over you to watch you. You
know, like Google, you know, Google
Google maps to watch you. of a love. He
stands on the person. You hold him up.
It's a medish over there.
However you touch it, it's not for now.
Hashem is but the is that it's all. So
if you skip,
yeah, he Hashem could have left it by
and that was it. He didn't leave it by
came down all the way to our reality. So
that in our reality, in our world, in
our identity, in our psyche, in our
neurons, in our selves,
you should be able to climb that ladder
and trace it all back to the aus of
atmos, but in a way that's integrated,
not that eliminates you. That's why is
not is not segregation. And ultimately,
it boils down to this question. Do we
have to run away from life or do we
engage in life?
Without
this
ultimately
you have to enga disengage because
because this is only a playground it's a
fake playground
right
but with this of
so then both ultimate transcendence and
ultim intimate engagement become one and
they're they're not they're not separate
and
is expressed also the
so that's the he of this how it goes so
first he explains the kates in other
words how would be translated right
before what does this look like how
would it be translated if something
comes from it.
So if Hashem decides to be, what does
that look like,
what comes from that being? And the
answer is everything and everybody. But
that's not that's not that's already but
the are endless. How can they work
together? They can work together because
because has the so
of because
the depth of therefore was that there's
a cat it's
because some form of structure it's
things that are coming from why is there
anything coming from what I became now a
mocker I became a teacher
Why is there anything coming from me?
That's not
because captures the
so but there ain't.
So that's the of this that this paradox
that carries now is manifested in every
level of reality all the way down to the
smallest reptile and lizard in our
world.
the smallest egg laid by a chicken,
right? and everything in between it
captures this paradox and therefore
there can ultimately be the between
atmos and the world that's the that's
the of this the goes through but from
this perspective of
you see in the original you don't see
all this he says it all but he doesn't
he doesn't he doesn't mention he doesn't
mention all this it's the way that
learned the inbat
he brings it out you read read the
original yud base he says yeah the ble
comes out in all the worlds but this how
the brings it out and that you don't see
in the original mime you see how the reb
learned the mime he's saying it all as a
beard in the mime but it's all the beard
in the mime with with a tremendous with
tremendous that come out on the way
where everything gets transformed
within M
yeah you're saying something very deep
very deep
you're saying that
the way translates in a person's life is
that embodies even that that can't come
into
right
embodies that which can't come into
so therefore saying something very deep
in all science today. There's a paradox
that nobody knows how to deal with.
It's and it's coming out in every level.
There's things
that we get, we grasp, and then there's
things that are coming out. Yeah.
But we're not grasping them. We're
wondering how it works together. We call
it paradoxes.
It's like strange like this follows a
certain trajectory but creation itself
shows that it's frustrated with itself
and that's where is mgala
that I'm not telling you the full
picture. Gilu is not the full picture.
There is that which I can't express
which I'm also going to express. So the
world is expressing that there's a
certain that it can't express. How is
that expressed?
It's expressed by showing you that even
that which is being expressed is not
telling you the full picture.
It's pointing to something. It's
pointing to something that can't be
expressed. But it's also being
expressed. So it's creating this crazy
paradox that you can only make peace
with if you understand the paradox of
I know that nothing I said made sense,
right?
But you see it constantly in every in
you see there is this frustration that
comes from the fact that we're capturing
something
that somehow is not working. It's it's
expressing something that can't be
expressed and therefore it's undermining
that which is being expressed and
somehow it's working together. In every
nikud man and
he talk about physics, quantum quantum
physics, quantum mechanics. So there was
like these paradoxes that undermine and
yet they're all working they're all
working together because the light also
captures the darkness which can't be
expressed in light but that's also
expressed in and that that makes for the
ultimate relationship.
Now in a person's life what that means
is that means that there's things I
could do. That's what you're saying. And
there's things I can't do,
right? The things I can do are also part
of what I can do. We often get upset,
right? That's what you meant. There's
things I can't do, right? We all get
upset. That's also part of what you
could do. That's also part of what you
can do because if it's all
captures also that which which can't be
captured in
the Gmorra says,
Right.
Just like
says is is of that you could capture
says that which you can't capture. You
can only capture it by not doing
but the is yet what I can do is also
part of my reality.
It's very this is a very important my
darkness is also part of my light.
Not everything is light. It is real. If
it's real it's dark also. It captures
also that which can't be expressed. That
also is going to be expressed. Now it
frustrates the living daylights out of
light.
That's why light gets frustrated. That's
why light doesn't know if it's light is
flying 186,000 miles per second. You're
like where should I put myself? The
answer is without ble. You don't have
where to put yourself. Once this bit,
you don't have to put yourself anywhere.
Where does have to be? Wherever the
wants today I'm here. Tomorrow I'm
there. That's an avoid.
Yeah. I don't have agendas. I don't have
agendas. Today I'm here. Tomorrow I'm
there. Now you want me to speak. Now you
don't want me to speak. It's fine.
Right.
Your your capacity, your lack of
capacity is also part of your capacity.
Huh? To make a person comfortable with
their limitations, not just because
you're a loser.
It's much deeper than that because your
limitations
is an expression of atmos that's what
you mean your limitations are expression
of it's expression of
and that's that's that's an essential of
that's also an expression it's a
different type of expression
the reb once told the story that when
the rebay was in prison
in 1927 in the spaler in lengrad
So the the investigator, these were
brutal, brutal communist Jews. The
investigator was asking him questions
and he was he was in his own zone. You
know the deb was responding to what he
wanted to. So the person asked him the
investigator asked him,
"Do you know where you are?"
So he said, "Yeah, I'm in a place that's
put from a muza just like a bathroom and
a and a stal an animal stable.
That's where I am.
So the Reb asked what's the what was
what was the point? Okay. He compared it
to what was so the said
muza creates
muza says
creates the needed then he needed
security. Yeah. So he mentioned hilis
muza part of hilis muza is that there's
certain places that are put for muza
that's a dinner in hilis muza
so he so to speak he was makaya muza he
brought muza because he said this is a
place where tus says is for muza so so
there's an INDIAN OF MUZA HERE ALSO SAYS
HERE YOU DON'T NEED A muza
huh
I've never heard that it's really good
at you Thomas once I forget which here
dancing also once in jail
with that there was that from
because
the same god who wants you to d wants
you here not to d this is all the is
also an you have to work it through you
have to find in it it's all it's his
ability not to express it's also him
don't think it's not him you were not
thrown out of the you you weren't thrown
away and uh left hanging, you know, like
like like wet laundry. What's the
expression?
Huh?
Thrown under the bus.
I'm just trying to explain what you
said. What did you want to say?
Ask
you want to know if it's
logical
or there's a logical element.
Now, of course, logic is all a creation.
Right. Logic is also a creation. In
other words, atmos is not defined by
logic at all. Logic itself is a
creation.
That's my question. Does it work with
today's logic that we in our world or
does it not?
You talk about logic. We we try to
operate on some level of logic. That's
you understand
is a structure that has a rhythm that we
call logic.
Huh?
That's the idea.
from a certain place. Logic is as much
logical as the opposite of logic. What
the you know who who made logic boss,
right? Hashem made a mitas. Why mitsas?
Could have been not a mitsus could be a
mishug and it would be more normal than
a normal person. It's anyway happening
these days.
Yeah, it's anyway happening these days.
Huh?
So that you have to understand but
the is
you could say on everything.
In other words, it's just a paradox and
we don't understand it.
But the vert here is
that
should be able to become part of your
identity. That's the
I'm answering your question in a strange
way.
Both of your are right that no which is
atmos should be able to become part of
your identity. That's the of so you want
to know if it makes sense. The of is
that it makes sense. What does sense
mean? Every level sense means something
else. Their sense of Haza, the sense of
the sense of bria, the sense, right?
Every has its world where it's what avar
is in that world.
Yeah. Real come from all the way where
begins.
But but that's the of your question is
your answer.
Bring bring your two sides together.
That's
your typhus. What I'm saying?
I asked my brother if he thinks you know
in in in physics there's a whole thing
the last generation that light is full
of paradoxes. They used to think light
works like a wave which is akto cohesive
like a wave of water you know it goes
together. Then they found out when they
did measurements that light acts like
particles. Every particle is isolated.
So they thought they made a mistake but
then they saw that it acts like a wave.
But it's a paradox because a wave moves
cohesively a whole wave together.
Particles, every particle is isolated.
And then they realize that when they're
observing the light, it becomes a
particle. When they don't observe it, it
becomes a wave. And then they made
experiments and they realize that it
acts like a wave and it acts like a
particle simultaneously. So it drives
everybody crazy.
So I thought
that in physics in gashm is this is a
reflection of two
the
it's megala gilo
is a wave
which is unity cohesion and the of that
it's megala
the
ability ofos
that it's atmos
including not the definition that it has
to be. It could not be iron. I don't
exist. I'm also fine. Atmos doesn't have
to exist.
You could think you're everything. You
have no muker. That that's where it
becomes a particle.
And and and in both and they're really
one. When you observe it, you're only
going to see one because our eyes don't
like that. You know, we like to to put
everything in. We don't like
But that's really what it is. So has no
problem with that. It was just a ma. My
brother told me he also had such a
whatever. I don't know. I don't know
that it's true. I'm just saying it's
interesting because the biggest
paradoxes in this world are in light.
Everything is full of paradoxes. But
nothing like light
which is big mush for it's of course
only a mushel but it's a mush that comes
from the niml like everything right. I
don't mean that physical light is what I
mean is that physical light is the
and the once said that's why you see in
certain properties that are unique and
they're reflective of the source even
though it's gashm so ultimately you're
not going to have the the
physical because it is a thing but
within gashm itself light is the most
spiritual yeah you can't see it you
can't touch it you can't define it and
even measuring it is very problematic
and its speed. In other words, is
something that even in it points to it's
like this fusion of it is and it's not
right. Where's the in this room? I could
point to the light bulb, but where's the
exactly? It's everything and it's
nothing. Right? The cup I could point to
the cup.
So the truth is that the cup is also
that's the whole of the but the cup is
the way it becomes a cup a particle.
A represents the of this of of uh so in
a in a this has become so critical
because it's the ultimate of everything
where life is is real. Life is real and
meaningful and absolute and and every
nuda of life is real.
Life is serious. I don't mean serious as
depressing. I mean serious as it's
authentic. Atsimus is invested. It's not
a monopoly game. Post Simpson, we think
we have a reality.
There was something you wanted to say
something
that the
memory the ISIS are so abstract but it's
like redefining reality on so many
different levels. So like give us it's
it's hard for me in our head to
translate.
I know this is very very abstract. It's
very abstract and when you read it and
you don't not familiar with the
language, right? People could read it
and they're just talking about and and
spirates and and kayak and atmos but
it's really redefining reality.
The most non-abstract m also
it's the most non-abstract m there is.
Yeah. But you have to you have to be
familiar with the language. If you're
not familiar with the language and that
it's relevant, you could just think it's
a big pill pull and and that have no,
you know, fine.
And that's why people learn these things
and they don't get excited
because at best even at best they're
understanding it maybe but completely
abstract.
So it's a pill in understanding how we
feel,
right? But really it's all brings out
the ultimate aus the ultimate unity and
in a way that you should be able to feel
it in your gut in your bones because if
you're not feeling it in your bones then
we don't have we don't need
is one the whole is the connection right
all the way down to the yesesh
is that the
yeah
meaning the
has no relevance to me I can
from that but on a level of of
connection to that.
I had a a that has yesesh but there is
no but it's not connected to my yesesh
it's connected to the yesesh but I don't
understand that that is
that's the mitzvah in gashm explains in
that letter of garesh that why the
mitzvah are in gashmi
because this is the kdesh of gashmi
yes yash exists on many levels there's
the lulv and the right there's the
physical material world there's There's
the physical body and then there's the
experience of a person's identity in the
body and that's all part of it and a
hashem relates to each in its own way
but the kdesh of mitzvah that it's
physical world is connected to this nuda
the
of
ultimately is the embodiment of the
deepest core of the deepest truth
now if atmos
then there would be no connection ction.
You understand? Let's say Atmos would
skip. Sorry guys, no oil. I could do
what I want. I'm creating a gashmi. Then
what would happen?
No answer. There would be no
connection.
Huh?
It's not relatable. It wouldn't be
relatable. Everything would be there.
Just like a room without light.
Everything is there, right?
Let's say you're married to somebody but
you never see them. The Gomorra says
the second,
yeah, you're married to somebody, you
never see them. The once said,
he spoke about the he said doesn't only
mean Hashem wants to live in you. The
it should be a bright you're married to
somebody. You never see them your whole
life. What type of You're married.
You never see them. Yeah. So what's the
what what is it? You're married. You're
actually one. But what's missing?
There's no rel. You're not relatable.
You see us. You're married. So Atimus
could do what he wants. Of course he
could do what he wants. He didn't need
he didn't need anything. He could also
not. But the V is he wanted a real a
real connection. Real connection means
that it's a worked out connection that I
own it and you own it. That's you own
it. You own it and you own it in your
real self in in your identity.
So that's where is that there should be
a home where the atmos but that the
atsmos should be
not just atmos is here. Atmus should be
seen, perceived, experienced. I should
experience you, not just I should be
with you in a dark room. That's what
does light. The said then that the what
was their mistake? They said we don't
want to go into because we have in the
midbar. What was the mistake? The
mistake was that the is
the
like we're talking here.
So saw this. It says in that after
so ah so is
then not better than me
[Laughter]
actually doesn't think
I think
better is better than
yeah I'm as good as Mosha I'm better
than
what was the terrorist the correct
that's always
biker. So what's the biker?
So says
right you can't distinguish between you
can't differentiate between morning and
evening in other words because the is
not just to have the shill
and for gillu you need
for gillu you need because because
elevates the people elevates inspires
the people. So in you yourself also with
the same in your concealment hashem is
as much as in in your revelation but to
be able to appreciate that you need gilo
a person says dvening and learning is
not better than going to work.
Yeah, you should be in Gashm all the day
what you have to learn for
right that's
because it's not that way
in order to be able to be in your work
it's because you have to the and because
you have that connection on the other
hand if you only run away then that's
the mistake of the
so this is a subtle paradox that comes
together that's that means that should
be light for t out there would be could
do whatever he wants the
Okay, we'll take a break here. The next
So, uh, the next sh is going to be
online tomorrow morning 7:30. We're
going to continue.
I'm going to do it in my house because
tomorrow night because other nights I
have events, so I can't continue the
Shir live, but the next year we'll do
tomorrow morning 7:30. You can also
watch a replay.
This tomorrow morning. this tomorrow
morning. We're going to go further.
We're going to go further. So, you have
a whole night to think about what we
learned and then we're going there's no
summation tomorrow. There's no summation
tomorrow because if I do a summation
tomorrow, then this mime doesn't get
finished.
My summation,
huh? I'll use your summation tomorrow.
But it's going to be 7:30 tomorrow. You
could either come onto our Zoom or on
the yeshiva.net. And then we're going to
have it also Tuesday morning. Tuesday
morning is 7:30. I hope to finish the m
so it's going to be online. I want to
thank very much Rabuda Zaltzman for uh
arranging it and again to to David
Gaerman and his Rebbitson and his wife
for opening their home so graciously
[Applause]
and thank you everybody for coming.
Thank you Rabbi
