Maamer Siddur Shaar Chag Hamatzos #2, Emunah For The Non Jew - RabbYY Jacobson, 5781

good morning everybody good morning good morning give me a thumbs up you could see it here wonderful welcome everybody thank you very much for gracing us with your presence last night we had a wonderful session on dating for parents guidance for parents whose children are in the dating environment together with was yours truly together with our resident therapist here at moisha zevlam and uh god willing will load it up probably later today on the yeshiva.net so we had a lot a lot of people a lot of interesting questions and part two is going to be for boys boys who are either dating or post-dating or pre-dating but in that you know parsha of their life and that's going to be the 22nd the 22nd of uh of march which is testness in the 9th of nissin monday evening at 10 o'clock on the zoo i have a similar in the family my sister is making a wedding next week in florida so we're not going to have the monday or tuesday morning class but we're going to resume thursday morning so please take note of that that next monday and tuesday the the morning class of monday and the women's tuesday class is going to be cancelled next week we are going to have the class on thursday and then the next week we're going to resume so if you didn't hear the first class on this mimer please try to review it because it's really the halogenic and talmudic basis of everything that we're going to be discussing in this mimer and the main point that was made in one sentence is that the terrorist says in parish israel you should only eat matzos on six days for six days even though elsewhere it says seven days and the ghazal deduced from this the eighth principle in the methodologies and formulas of tyra learning so that the seventh day redefines our understanding of the first six days mashvirus just as the seventh day it's clearly a voluntary option to eat mutton not an obligation that hence the terrorist singles out six days this re defines our relationship to the fourth first six days that it's also voluntary as explained at length in our first class monday morning and this mymer said on sri 1804. in order to understand this what's the the deeper meaning of this why is it that the seventh day is voluntary and why does the terror first say seven days and then six days which means that it's the seventh day that teaches us about the first six days he says what is this concept of eating matzah and he quotes desire which calls matzah the bread of faith but why don't we be called the bread of faith does it mean that it represents the faith of your so it's just a symbolic commemoration of the amuna that the jews once had he says no for this we have to understand the passage which means that there are the shepherds says shepherd faith there are shepherds who feed who give who help reveal a muna because really the jewish people are called the moon every jew has a muna in his or her essence it's part of our genetic spiritual genetic inheritance so to speak but in order to make it more alive more revealed this is where we need the isro or somebody to to shepherd like your shepherd the flock make sure they have all their food all the sustenance all the nutrients they need somebody to make sure that the nutrients are going to help us accentuate and actualize and be able to breathe and live with this gift of faith and that's what the matzah does it strengthens a moon in the heart of the jewish people this is now where he goes on to the next paragraph if you have not downloaded your source streets or opened your source sheets from last week's class you can do it now i'm not sure they loaded the source sheets in today's class but if you go to monday's class if you go to the yeshiva.net on the homepage you scroll down you'll see monday class and over there you can view the source sheet or or download it or print it out hola tam the second paragraph in hatam to understand the reason the reason for what why is it that matzah strengthens him what does it even mean yes not surprisingly in the balcony's vintage style we got to go back to the basics we got to go back to the beginning of everything to be racist every minute he always goes back to the beginning to the beginning what is the source of a muna what is a muna what does it mean to believe why do we call it a moon of faith there is a conception and it's often used the term is used blind faith which means faith requires a certain component of blindness if my eyes are open how can i have faith if my eyes are open i want to discern truth from falsehood i want to discriminate i want to dissect i want to analyze i want to categorize why am i believing so faith they say it's blind faith or people say i'm not ready for the leap of faith in other words faith is a leap is that why it's called faith because it's irrational something that's rational something that i can explain i don't have to believe i don't have to believe that now is daytime nor do i have to believe that the earth is round i mean i may believe you if i never did the research myself but you could look at pictures that were that were taken from outer space that were taken from uh from outside from those who will who have left the environment of the earth and you could see that it's round i mean unless you believe it was all made in photoshop so then you do have to believe it but i'm saying the point is you don't have to believe certain things you don't have to believe that i'm speaking to you now right so what is this concept of a mana why do we call it why do we call it faith does it mean it's not rational what exactly does it mean so some would say and this is brother smart i believe in the sephirah ikrim by rabbi yosef albo one of the greatest jewish philosophers who lived in the 14th century and he argued with the ramen rambam hell that there are there are the 13 principles of faith and he said no there are three principles of faith only three but the ikrim writes and it's also another safari the reason we call it a muna is because ultimately if i could see something with my eyes then i don't have to call that belief faith the fact that i'm speaking to you the fact that this is a a little shmatto that this is a tie or this is a mouse or this is a pad right i could see it with my eyes i mean yes i can be suffering from optical illusions and some of us have optical illusions but generally speaking if your eyesight is working borrow hashem you don't have to believe it you see it you see it what do they say seeing is the best form of believing since some of the fundamentals of judaism even if they can be proven and explained rationally at least to a significant degree but since it's something that i don't see with my eyes i i can't remember standing at mount sinai i don't see god with my physical eyes or in the laboratory so it's called the munna because there's a certain a certain maybe maturity or sophistication or courage or or commitment that's necessary in the development of this process so that's obviously true but here in this mind me the balatini is going to take it one step deeper what is a munna what is the shiva moon he makes eve the passage says all the famous passing the opening of the ten commandments right hashem opens up the series of revelation at sinai in parishes yesterday exodus chapter exodus chapter 20 verse 2 i am the lord your god who has taken you out of egypt this is the opening of the revelation at maharsina at sinai i am your god who took you out of egypt on this is the famous question of the commentators why does hashem not specify a miracle that is even greater than the miracle of ethios namely that he created heaven and earth in other words this moment when hashem was introducing himself to the jewish people giving them so to speak his resume if you will his curriculum vitae i am your lord the god who has taken you out of egypt from a house of bondage and he continues have any other gods etc according to the rambam in the beginning of mishnah terra hill saudi arabia the fundamental chapter 1 he says that the knowledge and the awareness of god's existence is a mitzvah that's how the rambam begins his entire magnum opus mishna torah you say this is the foundation of foundations and the pillar of wisdom is to know that there is a primary being and this being is the source who brings into existence every existence and every existence from heaven and earth and everything in between has not emerged only from the truth of his existence and the rambam continues developing this and in halakhah 6 videos knowing this he doesn't say believing this knowing this is a positive mitzvah it's a mitzvah it's one of the six hundred and thirty minutes was the point of the rambam because it says this is his first commandment the first of us here said just like respect your father and mother don't kill don't steal keep shabbos don't testify falsely don't covet don't commit adultery the first one of the ten commandments is what hashem i want you to know that i'm god so hashem is introducing himself so to speak shouldn't he go back to the basics i'm the one who created heaven and earth that's even more impressive than going out of mitzram and he explains why should i benefit from the not to underestimate or minimize the miracles of the exodus of egypt but it was basically a development from one state of being into another state of being the first plague is certainly supernatural for all the waters in egypt to be transformed into blood so water was transformed into blood or frog suddenly emerged over all of egypt or lice and so so on and so forth the continuation of the plagues the very fact that egypt was brought to its knees and this tyranny was subj this tyranny was ultimately weakened to the point that the same pharaoh would let the people go from no no no i will not let you go it's like get out of my country certainly extraordinary miraculous supernatural but it's changing one state into another state it's called the ancient orbis have us but you can't compare this to the creation of the cosmos this is something from nothing to you how do you compare the two so when hashem is introducing himself to the jewish people i am god do you want to know what god is yes i have taken you out of egypt but even greater than that is a shabba rasa shamayim varus i created heaven and earth taking you out of egypt is certainly a wonderful thing an extraordinary thing jews were very grateful for it we're still grateful for it as we say in the beginning of the day because in the opening of that god if he wouldn't have taken us out he may have still been there or been slaves in some form or fashion but you still can't compare it to the very creation from nothing came something literally from nothing came as something think about that this is the question of the mufasa mask now this happens to be a very ancient question among the commentators the evan ezra rabbenu avram ibn ezra who was the great 12th century spanish linguist astronomer scientist commentator sage poet asks this question in parishes israel the kuzari rabbi yehuda levy in this famous philosophical timeless classic sephir hakuzari asks this question in fact evan ezra quotes it in the name of rabiuhuda halevi because the kuzari asks this question it's quoted by the ramban the question is discussed in terms of maharal in footnote number 12 if you look at footnote number 12 he gives the wonderful all the references in the footnote to all the commentators who asked this question different answers have been given here is the altarebus here is the answer of the balatani the explanation is that the ms some say some say the basic answer that the exodus of egypt was personal and it's what they just experienced of course creation of heaven and earth may be greater but this was personal it was their personal moment with god so to speak that's a great answer others talk about the fact that creation of the world could still put god in the category of something impersonal you know he created this amazing amazing world does he care about it you'd see as messiah it means he didn't only create the world but he takes personal if i could use the word personal he takes intimate and individual interest in the fears of mankind that when one nation is oppressing another nation when one nation is subjugating and torturing and trying to commit genocide in another nation the creator of the world takes that as a as a deeply disturbing and horrific offense and he gets involved and makes that statement that's what god is i care about the fears of mankind these are all classic answers that were given by mephirsh and here dr rebecca takes it again one step deeper ah the explanation is the emma's creation of the world no question trump's every other miracle that happens in history the only reason it does not is because in our mind we take it for granted we are so used to existence that we cannot imagine what it means not to exist right so we take it for granted but if you really take the time and the mental space to reflect on what on the miracle of bria on the very act of creation ju on every single level the cosmos the planet the details of the planet an individual organism an individual plant a tree bush insect reptile mammal fish bird animal homo sapien human being an individual cell the act of creation both if you talk about it in a general sense or an individual sense a particular creation is is is the greatest miracle ever hands down and the interesting thing of course is and i should mention this you know for many generations there was at least there were at least many many philosophers begins with already aristotle who maintained that the world was always here the world didn't need a creator because it was always here it's particularly in our generation where the theory of the big bang has been embraced by most scientists and that revolutionized our understanding of cosmology first and foremost in the fact that the universe has a beginning that timeless word with which the title begins be racist to something called a beginning beratious barolo comes ours there's a beginning there's a beginning for matter there's a beginning for space there's a beginning for time the big bang explosion which ultimately develops into the universe that we know the galaxies and the planets and our planet there is a beginning a moment of voracious that's extraordinary something happened and the question is what caused that how did that beginning happen how did that seminal point prebiotic soup or challenge it exploded where did that come from that point where's operations come on you say well that was always there so why did the explosion happen supposedly 13.8 billion years ago if it was always here well it was too much pressure but if it's here infinitely so it was too much pressure so then it should have exploded billions of years before besides time was created stephen hawkins proved many signed this time was created with the big bang there was no before so what happened suddenly so even in modern science these are troubling questions that many people like to ignore we know how it all science explains everything really science today only creates much deeper and larger questions about the genesis of it all if there's a voracious where did that beratious come from why suddenly how how out of nothing comes something what triggered that that's a serious question how out of nothing comes something never mind if you analyze what happens a moment after the big bang how from this explosion a unifor a universe is formed how fine-tuned that explosion had to be because if it would expand a little faster we would be reduced into dust and if it would expand a little slower we would experience what they call the great crunch and become toast and that fine tuning is not a little small fine tuning by a few seconds you're talking about fine tuning that is so exact and so improbable mathematically that it staggers their imagination to believe that such a thing can happen randomly especially didn't have to happen once there are so many constants so many constants to allow for an existence of a universe and for life on the planet that the fine tuning here is beyond incredible that's not our topic today but it's important to emphasize this that when you speak about breeze it's you're looking for a miracle look in the mirror look at an ant the fact that and then our planet this is the cosmos the fact that our planet supports life what has to happen for that despite all of this despite all of this dalton rebel now goes one step further and he says that the creation of heaven and earth from nothing to something aims in hebrew is the emanator or the source of attilas which means the one who is responsible for all the emanation of his light of his energy to create the worlds so he says ultimately it's not so wondrous relative to him what do we mean the entire evolution of all of the nat solemn that solemn is all of the manifestations of divine energy and of all the created beings are essentially a manifestation of what we call divine speech kamisha kosov as the pasuk says in tehillim to hillary gimmo bidvar hashem shamayim nasser heavens were created through god's utterance god's words called swam or as the mishnah says hashem created the world through ten utterances in other words it's identified as divine speech for you it's knowing to the next page we know the concept of speech down here below when we use the word speech it's metaphoric it's allegorical evie speech words represent a certain revelation and manifestation of a person's personality wisdom inner thoughts inner emotions right i communicate my ideas i communicate my feelings i communicate what is going on inside of me but you're not going to say that your word captures your full essence it's a certain revelation and a manifestation of a certain aspect of what the person has experienced the same is true when it comes to the dibura alien the divine speech of hashem as a creator so this is only a gili it's a certain revelation of something that was previously concealed in god's essence vahinu this is called indian midas what we sometimes call the attribute of his mouthfuls malchus is defined in zaihar as the quality of speech of communication which is the source of the entire life force of all the worlds all the worlds are basically an embodiment and are vivified and animated by the divine words by the divine speech from the kingship of a human being a human king of flesh and blood the subject of the king what they're experiencing is an expression of the royalty of the of the monarch but not his essence many of them may have never even seen him many of them don't have a personal relationship with him don't know who he is at his core but his malhouse rules the country his kingship rules the country this is a metaphor yeah that's what he means it's the word of the king that rules that's how the king rules through his words through his deeper ability as we say in ashrae every morning god is great he's excessively extolled his greatness has no which literally means has no inquiry what does it mean has no inquiry there's no way to investigate it and acquire it and capture it and explain it commercial the way it is in his essence everything that we see in creation is certainly a manifestation of hashem but it's only a drop in the bucket imagine if you ask me to show you the atlantic ocean you have heard of the atlantic ocean so i go and i fill up a cup of water from the atlantic and i show you this cup of water and i say here this is the atlantic ocean it's humorous right i didn't show you the atlantic ocean no i did this water comes from the atlantic ocean it certainly does but it doesn't capture anything of the magnitude the grandness the beauty the largeness the depth the width the length and the massiveness of the ocean when you come to see and you see the atlantic ocean i remember i was once on a cruise in the midst of the atlantic it was the middle of the night and the boat was going very fast and i was like two in the morning and i went out to the deck you know and you're like and you look at the ocean i'm like mmm i mean my my mind right away went to the scenes of the titanic a night to remember 19 1912 april after pesach but you know you see the magnitude of it and even then what did i see i just saw that which i was able to see in that particular region where we were that night you see the whole ocean but when i take one cup of water i showed you what's called the tipo it's true it comes from the ocean no question and you know what one cup of water is incredible one droplet of water is incredible how many molecules how many atoms are necessary in order to be able to create any tiny piece of matter even one drop of water that's all part of the of the miracle of creation but certainly you can say that this captures the essence of the ocean or like the ray of the sun doesn't capture the solar core right the ray of the sun is now coming into my home baruch hashem is beautiful but thank god the sun itself is not coming into my home because that would be the end of this class so similarly these are the examples he's giving that god al hashem the whole world is a divine word it's divine speech it's divine energy but what is expressed here what is expressed is a certain limited harnessed mitigated filtered condensed and contracted energy that creates the whole world it's true so therefore even the light that he emanates the rays so to speak are also infinite killifiers because your emanation is always a reflection of who you are somebody's inner power is going to be expressed in their work even if their work doesn't capture all of their capabilities and all of their creative powers but whatever they're expressing is going to be a certain reflection of who they are on the inside valcain so even the revealed ray which you call divine speech which true thank you you could say hi you can say hi to everybody so even the revealed ray which is hashem hashem speech history we know from the writings of the great kabbalist that rizal adonai who lived in egypt and came to tsvas for two years and passed away on the fifth of of of the year 1572. hey i love from shinlam at base and it's buried in swash and the writings of the arizona we know that even just the energy is nispas extended odd infinitive that reason talks about the duration of existence as being fifty thousand jubilees fifty thousand jaivorus we often speak about the six thousand years followed by a seventh millennium that rizal then speaks about fifty thousand jubilees because the cosmos and the planet ascends and then further ascends the states of consciousness are infinite but it's all an expression of that one media that one word of malforce is [Music] which is the finite number you're asking first he says it's aden kate it's infinite and then he gives the the nun allah from yes that's what you say that's an interesting question i have to think about it it could be what he means is what diaries what he's trying to say is he's not here focused on the number he's focused on the fact that even if you look at the wisdom in creation it may be a drop of the atlantic that's true but that drop has infinite wisdom in it in other words that drop you can analyze and analyze and analyze and further more because there is so much there and there's so much infinite growth that's available there because as the sun is infinite even an individual ray also has infinity because it's ultimately expressing the sun nonetheless despite that so he gives an example of that result i don't think he's focused so much on the number he's just giving an example you know we look at the world right how much is the span of our lives so you live 100 years 120 years they say soon they're going to double the life span so you live 160 years that means you're out of a job for a hundred years right if you retire at 65 so think about that but in any case so what do we know about life you know we know our 50 years 100 years we read a little history so we know a little back we speculate about the future but then you go back a hundred years a thousand years right fifty thousand years noon i love him and then fifty thousand years times fifty in other words that the span of existence even existence the way we define it and know it is so beyond our imagination it's so mind staggering i believe that's his point so what so so to conclude the theme of this of this chapter of this period based this chapter is that creation of heaven and earth is amazing it's the most amazing thing we can imagine i think it was mark twain who said when god created the grand canyon he did not create the adjectives with which to describe it so if i may use that that phrase and say when god created the world he didn't give us the adjectives with which to describe it but if you take the time and you focus on it it is the singular greatest miracle much greater than the splitting of the sea much greater than any other miracle again we take it for granted because we wake up in the morning we're breathing we expect the earth to be solid ground that we could step on it but nothing should be expected nothing of it makes sense rationally with the laws of nature as though that explains something it's the laws of nature gravity of course it's supposed to be that way we have to appreciate fact of how much we don't appreciate anything you know we look at our system it's working i'm speaking now i just lifted my hands oh that's simple really it's simple it's simple that 70 trillion cells are functioning in your body in perfect harmony and symmetry and everyone exactly knows exactly what to do and it's perfect of how that two-three pound brain is governing everything and making millions of decisions every millisecond and you have a hundred billion neural neural neurons each interconnected again we take all of these things for granted but but there's not a moment of life that should not be experienced as a miracle if i can quote albert einstein who once said either nothing is a miracle or everything is a miracle or as the medra says it says at the end of tehillim 150 we say it every morning every soul should praise god so the madrid says in the summer comes the word neshima every breath for every breath one ought to celebrate to start dancing every breath you take deserves a song you're byron you're here you want to dance i hope yeah every breath you take deserves a song so despite all of this dr ebba says but let's go one step deeper if we may and when i i'm giving these disclaimers because as we go the one step deeper don't forget the basics sometimes you go deeper and deeper you forget the basics that this miracle trumps every other miracle but he says but then think about it from the divine perspective from divine perspective the whole world is a speech it's a few words that hashem utters comes from him it expresses something of him but it does not reflect the core again it's like the the ray of the sun relative to the solar core it's like a few words that you say they capture something of you no question but how much do i know of you from listening to a few words of yours so the altered says and this is the beginning of the explanation why focuses on bethias mitraim not creation as we will see it's known which means the pious ones from among the nations they believe and they comprehend because what words they appreciate the kayak which means the power that activates everything that exists within every reality means the power of the activator benefalum is in all of those things that are existing and being activated in other words the pious ones from among the nations of the world this is not a gift that only jews have even gentiles good ones who are good people the byron you were discussing yesterday uh two a few days ago your relationships growing up good people khasilyo masala means pious fine mentioned who are not jewish and many of them have a real appreciation this is albert ebba's words they have a real appreciation and a saga a comprehension that there is divine energy that creates the world show me i it made the world from nothing into something this is a real or real understanding a real understanding of the clear happier electro that the world is a manifestation and an embodiment of hashem's energy of divine life and vitality that brought everything into existence from nothingness into somethingness ex-nihilo in the latin furthermore and some of them are affected by this emotionally the ishmael and it causes them to live a life in which they're careful not to do something immoral not to ah interesting huh what what do you say it's so beautiful yeah yeah and we and yet and yet we we need to remember very strongly that we have the 613 mitzvahs they have seven we have a special relationship with hashem it's sort of like if there's a big family there's one favorite song we're the favorite son it doesn't mean that we're more special we are in a sense more special but every son is special we have a special relationship with more possibilities it's not that we're better or they're better or we're worse they're worse because we have a certain special relationship and therefore we were given more responsibilities they also have responsibilities and relationships yeah it's a different type yeah yeah it's very beautiful you're saying that this is messianic every person has their place in the world as you say and every person has their mission and it's not about being better or being worse it's about being faithful to your unique vocation it's within people themselves every person has their unique role to play look at a body look at an organism every limb has a unique contribution to make and in its own way it's indispensable to the divine cosmic symphony so the jew needs to be a jew we have no obligation in judaism to proselytize a non-jew and force him to become jewish judaism never had that slogan there was no salvation outside the church as another religion maintained the rambam the pious ones from among the nations have a portion of the world to come they have their gun aid and they have their alamo i saw there's one of the kabbalists avoided israel by mayor ben gabay 14th century capitalist says the same is true with the mashiach world he says even even the resurrection he applies to hasidiom the divine energy and power that lives within every being creating it and furthermore for some of them it's not just philosophy it's not just a nice idea i maybe read about it or heard about it he says some of them are affected by it means they're moved by it and not just moved emotionally but it affects their behavior they will not do something wrong they may hide a jew during the holocaust they may hide an innocent person from the horror is being inflicted on this person this may give them red lines in life in terms of loyalty and honesty and integrity fidelity commitment to a relationship commitment to a marriage commitment to truth to integrity to kindness dr ebba says yeah true we wish that this would be the universal choice of every person that we're waiting for the googler to come in but he says it's a phenomenon that we see now you do have to understand that the person saying this my mirror in 1804 suffered an enormous amount from people living in his area he suffered also from jews but he was arrested and persecuted quite mercilessly even though he was exonerated at the end but alternebus says and he has met you know in prison he has had in numerous conversations with some of the great philosophers and thinkers in petersburg especially connected to the czarist regime that was designated uniquely for the jewish people what is it it comes back to the question of a moon if a moon is about believing that there is a god this is the property this is the right this is the inheritance of all mankind beautiful words and moon is not a jewish thing in fact it's one of the severances not a not a jewish thing you don't have to be a jew to be a mind that's his point if you're real if you're open if you don't allow confirmation bias to dictate your life if you are inquisitive if you try to emancipate yourself from preconceived notions if you're not here to justify instincts every instinct and craving and proclivity and if i really have the ability to be curious and to help myself immense and help emancipate myself from preconceived notions and indoctrinations he says many people jews and non-jews can develop a profound ammuna a profound awareness of the divine and one that will move their mind stir their heart and direct their actions what then is the muna that was designated for knesset's sister all what is it oh now we'll understand why when god introduces himself to the jews he doesn't say hashem you know why that's not only mount sinai for the jews that's for every person i am your god who created heaven and earth that's a relationship with every single person here he's speaking about hashem i am your god the relationship with knesset's israel what is this [Music] foreign if one is moved merely by contemplating on meditating on creation something from nothing not for this purpose was the divine soul humbled and because again this is something that the pious ones among the gentiles can recognize the miracle of creation something from nothing not for this did god dispatch the nephesh ali kiss the godly consciousness and soul that vibrates within every jew not for this purpose this is a munda that even a good guy a solid guy a gentile muslim could have varying emma the terrorist says investigation tells the jewish people hashem who ali kim ain't comes down into the world to create the reality of a jew is what moisha says you have shown us to know that hashem who i like our incredible words is basically it's everything we talk about so often that in every niffle in every created being there's a kaye kappa i once read an article from a professor a neuroscientist professor of neurology in mcgill university dr jacob brower and uh he spoke about his first exposure to a hasid it was in boston i believe he was a harvard medical student and he came into a school and he saw a chabad khasit who was davenink and he would darwin for many long hours it was shabbos morning and he had his talos over his shoulders thinking he was thinking he said this when davening was over he left shul and he saw the husset in the same position same posture tallest over his shoulder still thinking to this so he had to get to know him so in their first conversation this hassan looks at him and says what are you searching for what are you searching for in life he was stumped how do you answer that question so this has tells him i know what you're searching for you're searching to see the kayak that's what you're searching for you're trying to look and find the kayak and this began a transformative journey for him you want to find the divine energy that vibrates through everything through every flake of snow and every drop of rain every blade of grass and every neuron and heartbeat and molecule and atom and cell you want to find the kayak the divine activating force that is that constitutes the dna of all creation that kaye kapoor beniful says the alterabi here is not only a jewish thing it's universal on many levels it defines creation and you want to know something he says we wouldn't even call this because even the eyes of flesh which means the mind's eye and the physical person if he or she is ruthlessly honest and committed to truth and nothing but the truth and only the truth you will be able to discover that there's a kayechapal beniful you don't need faith for this you don't need to believe if you really analyze the world and you really want to understand you will be compelled to reach the conclusion that there is that our world is spiritual energy that matter is a derivative of consciousness since the divine soul is enclothed in sackcloth you remember what marduk he puts on sackcloth which eclipses you when you're wearing a sack nobody could see you this is the divine soul is dressed up in sackcloth of clippers neighbor which means there are shells there are husks that eclipse vision so we have to meditate we have to think about it we have to learn about it in order to remove the blindness of our physical eyes which often look at the secondary and turn it into the primary we look at the symptom and we turn it into the cause we look at the outer layer and we make that the inner most important layer and as a result of that our blindness does not allow us to see how the yesh is completely subsumed and completely nullified to the iron what is iron iron means nothingness what does iron really mean no thingness you hear that of daniel no thingness what does it mean no thingness godliness is not called a thing it's not something i grasp with my hand or with my nose with my ears with my eyes with my taste my mouth it's an iron it's no thing-ness but i don't see it i don't touch it it's not tangible the table i touch so the age i can relate to the iron i can't relate to so i say it doesn't exist it's nothing because it's no thingness so it becomes nothing but really it's the core source of everything imagine somebody says viruses don't exist because i never saw them what would you tell them how intelligent is that statement viruses don't exist i never saw them the table exists this exists a virus doesn't exist germs don't exist bacteria don't doesn't exist uh electricity for sure doesn't exist electrons exist you're crazy and what are we gonna tell them these things that you don't see are much more powerful than anything else that you do see the matter is a derivative of consciousness is this not the problem that's plaguing the medical establishment today that with all its sophistication with corona everything that knows it's measuring it's measuring everything from the from the goof and the structural perspective and misses out on the mind body connection long covered this long cover doesn't exist it's a mind body disorder there's so many ailments i'm not saying that if a person obviously falls off it falls from a cliff that's a straight and they break their leg that's a structural problem but aren't many of the problems with before today perpetuated by the medical establishment not truly acknowledging you get some of the facility doctors who will say something like we understand that your condition is exacerbated by stress without actually stress and the way one perceives the world is like you always say the body holds the absolutely what you're what you're pointing out is brilliantly accurate and that is that this is missing in the scientific community where everything is perceived as just plain dumb matter when really all of matter is a derivative of consciousness you talk about stress so you talk about anxiety you talk about the inner state of the mind it affects the body in ways that are indescribable the impact is so powerful even when you talk about covert you often see the shallowness of scientists how impoverished they are because they may have brilliant brilliant data and they may be brilliant people and analyzing the data and allo analytics analyzing the facts but completely divorcing the yes from the iron besides those few doctors the hasidis who see the kayak pile beniful so dalton is telling us here that even to reach the first place the first state which is gaiusha munna how do you like that bonifa you have to work on yourself it's far from simple because we are blinded by the anxiety by stress by pressure by the veneer by the veneer of a world that eclipses the ion so imagine again somebody says electricity doesn't exist atoms don't exist cells don't exist i don't see them sorry we know today that what we don't see is much more powerful than what we see in fact here is the deal the fact that you see it already means that it doesn't exist in such a real way that's the truth if i could see it which means my retinas sensors absorbed it and interpreted by my brain to be this picture it already is a level of reality that is much more externalized and concretized to the point that my eye can grasp it and my brain can interpret it much deeper realities more fundamental realities you're actually not going to see not because they don't exist because their existence is far profounder and far more impactful nobody ever say i never saw an adam but we know that they exist but if you would have microscopic eyes you would be living in a different world so even within the scientific world we understand that things that are invisible are often much more consequential you think genes are important for life you think dna is important you think chromosomes are important none of this is visible in fact till the 50s we did not know that dna exists we lived thousands of years just like until 150 years ago the 1860s we did not know about germs until the 1890s we did not know about viruses we blamed it on the devil or on some wells the jews poisoning wells of the black plague the jews poisoned the wells but it doesn't mean they don't exist it just means we're not sensitive we don't have the tools to dissect reality so dalton is saying what happens in our world is we can often be blind and what does the blindness consist of it consists of the fact that we don't see a massive bitter we don't see that the yesh is tough it's subservient to the iron the yesh is toefl to the ikker which is the iron we don't see that we get lost in the yacht rather than searching and seeing the iron in the ish the iron in the ashes the spirituality of matter the consciousness of matter the divinity of matter for shakol dover nivra that one understands that every single physical existing being is bottle it's aligned and it's subservient and it's nullified relative to the spiritual divine power that brings it into existence now these are amazing words what does it mean it means if my eyes would be able to perceive reality it would be exactly the other way around i wouldn't even get i wouldn't even i wouldn't even i wouldn't even get i wouldn't even take note of the gash me the physical expression of it is such a minute fraction of what is really going on it's just like again in science i'm pounding on this table and for me this is just a solid piece of wood but if my eyes would be more developed i would see a whole universe inside this table millions billions trillions trillions trillions sections of atoms even in one tiny little piece of matter with electrons revolving around the nucleus of the atom and such speed and perfect perfect symmetry and harmony is a whole world going on but i don't see that world so what do i see i see the externality i see the external aspect of the world that is concrete that is tangible so even within the scientific world itself we know that there are levels of yiesh that we completely don't relate to and that the outer level of yash is completely bottle it's completely subsumed and it's just one aspect of the manifestation of the inner world that my eyes can pick up based on my limitations that's it i can see things that are so small do you know that 99.9 of an atom is empty space which means basically that all of the matter of our planet you could fit in to a carry-on suitcase do you know that and that's the truth of reality but my eyes can't make peace with that truth so therefore i see everything as being matter when really most of it is empty space it's just too small for me to perceive so my vision turns it into a solid piece of matter when it's really empty space that's what i do what is the truth however and you go to a deeper level the truth is that that is just one way of it being expressed and manifested based on your tools of perception if you go deeper what is the 99 percent of empty space of the atom what is it it's dvara hashem it's divine energy and the yesh is only a manifestation of that i that's what it is but for this you need training you need to cultivate this consciousness and for this amazing words for this they instituted the whole system of davine people wonder why do we say it again and again every day we do all this to everyone praising god excessively creating the world and being a master of all the creations of the world we start off you said it yesterday how many times are you going to say hallelujah you created this and you created dan and you created that what is this says you can't say it enough the reason is because we naturally live in a world in a life that eclipses our vision intuitively we're not living in the real world we're living in a bubble we're living in a fake world every day once again i need to battle for transcendence i need to wage battle for truth i need to excavate ms i need to remove that veil that masak model that veil that blocks that eclipses i need to cleanse my doors of perception and free my brain from toxicity from confusion from uncertainty from darkness until even your animal consciousness which means your biological mind can experience and appreciate extra tougher bottle of gaba that the yesh is only toefl it's subservient to the iron which is the essence that no thing-ness is real the thing-ness is just a manifestation a poor limited manifestation of that ikea of sharshu the kulu almond to understand that the iron is the essence and the root of all existence vikula kameh khuli the zayer says based on aposicon denial everything in his presence doesn't have separate significance this is the focus of davening in order to be able to get in touch with the guy munna of kaya kapoor bonifa it's still not the reason the nephew shall a kiss came down into the world that's my israel we'll get to that soon yes you wanted to ask something [Music] these are phrases in the tanya a lot but i i didn't know it was based on the possibility yes if you'll open up they actually they didn't they didn't uh footnote it so there's this expression kula kameh kaloy khashev which is from zohar khalid alof your aleph footnote 28 but that expression itself comes from daniel you're daniel you should know daniel you want me to know daniel that's your job you have to know the prophets of your namesake i don't remember you can look it up easily it's uh it's easily accessible but i'm glad that you're uh i'm glad that you're uh you're you're eager to know the source of all these phrases because many people just uh many people just you know gloss over them question first of all if you look in today's comments on the yeshiva.net somebody wrote a very very moving comment about last last year without smart alumni called about youth who leave yiddish those who were in the cloud and then they leave the clown beautiful amazing amazing comment it's a must read okay some would say that a munna is beyond rationality you have to take a giant blind leap of faith i say on the contrary it's the epitome of rationality to know not believe that our logical rational brains can only go so far each according to his ability and moreover that there are matters concepts and realities that are beyond the limits of our logic and rationality it's quite rational and logical to know and realize as a matter of fact that the realms beyond our logical capabilities contain truths such as the existence of australia the existence of hashem etc for me that is rational is creation really the biggest miracle if the only difference between nature and miracle is frequency if man came down every day until now if ma if mana came down every day until now and wheat grew only infrequently the former would be called natural and the latter miraculous and hashem perhaps created creation once though the madrid says that he created many worlds and then he destroyed them so then creation is a miracle because it was only infrequent from our perspective but occurred just once but perhaps from the perspective above and beyond creation that symptom to enable a space a void in order to allow for creation is a greater miracle than creation for god to create creation is huge a one-time occurrence and therefore miraculous from our point of view but for god to create anything is no big deal for the omnipotent perhaps a bigger miracle is that he withdrew himself and created an empty space devoid of his infinity where he could create the world that's maybe even a bigger miracle than the creation of the world well said what does it mean that did you get to the point that emunah is beyond logic if each person possesses varying levels of amounts of logic and rationality that which is a muna for one person because it's above his rationality maybe logic for another person if so it behooves each and every person to exercise his logic and expand it not to body build and jim and develop huge muscles but to mind building the yeshiva and develop a huge mind the more the mind is built up the less reason there is to rely on anything being believed because it's in the realm of a muna if so part of our vaid is to build up our logical minds lessen the turf for a muna until the point when the knowledge will cover the earth so i believe that a moon is relative and you could build up the muscles of your mind so that what was yesterday's emunah becomes today's logic very very good the inner world of the seemingly inactive inanimate world is extremely active if so even the dried up bones of those buried in the ground have atoms racing around each other otherwise even those seemingly inanimate bones wouldn't exist so these bones are alive just like a rock is alive so even the deceased whose bones remain in the ground are alive to a limited extent and going to the grave can attach us to the person buried there is that why we go to the grave that's one component but also the soul some a part of the soul is connected to the place where the body is buried so so it's true what you're saying but it goes even one step deeper beautiful ideas thank you everybody for sharing i wish you a meaningful and inspiring day a beautiful shabbos of renewal please remember i'm away next week so monday and tuesday there's no class we will resume this class by azer hashem next thursday monday march 22nd we'll have our second zoom session on dating particularly for boys i wish you all a beautiful day and send you love light and blessing yes ask ask you can ask ask how far can you go in knowing your consciousness can you have consciousness yeah how far can you go with consciousness you can go very very far with consciousness it says it said the balatanya writes that in ashama the soul of myshirabainu the soul of sherman by these were in the shamans of atsilas which means their daily natural state of consciousness was the perspective of vacillus oh thank you so much yeah some souls are from attila some souls are brilliant some souls are you serious some souls are asia what does this mean we all come from the same source but the way the soul is manifested in this world some souls operate with a consciousness of attilas on a regular basis and some souls operate with a more diminished form of consciousness and they have to work more on opening themselves themselves up to deeper layers of consciousness so what's the basics of davening what's the basis of davine what did we learn what's the exercise that we learned today the basis of davening we talk about the snow and the fire and the vapor and the animals and the trees and the insects why do we talk about this constantly in all of sukada zimmer i'd read through the hololucas what we're trying to help ourselves it's not just saying words it's cleansing my doors of perception it's opening myself up every single day to remembering that i'm living in a spiritually organic holistic divine world i'm not living in a brute ruthless course external material world i am living in a material world but that very material world is pulsating with divine infinite energy and that means first and foremost you first and foremost me the ability to be able to cleanse my own perceptions of how i see myself i'm not just a piece of meat and potato i'm not just a traumatized victim i'm not just an angry impulsive impatient petty jealous predator you like my adjectives i'm not just that person i may be i may have all these stuff inside of me but who am i what am i really i am an ambassador of infinity in the world infinity vibrates through me that's what i am that's who i am that's who you are so every person i come in contact with my spouse my child my loved ones strangers people i see in the street people i see on the subway people i meet in the supermarket it's the ability to be able to connect to the soul to the soul of people to the soul of matter even when i look at a bird even when i look at a tree even when i look at a squirrel or a groundhog or the beautiful deer roaming in my backyard right here what am i looking at i'm looking at god's world tsuki de zimmer is there to s davening is there to sensitize us to the world we're living in and therefore once we do that in the morning our whole day is different our paradigms are different our reference point is different so those of you who got to go darvin go david have a wonderful day my dear friends you understand rabbits and shulman yeah hazal that says seeing is believing is that a hazard i don't remember i have to research it the source of seeing is believing i don't know if this a saying you know in the world but i wonder if it's from pizza ruby mentioned that mentioned earlier speaking about scientists that they have um troubling questions about the creation and other things i guess just made me think that like a yid really doesn't have any troubling questions because because they know because they know that there's answers to every question well we're soon going to see what yiddish muna is today we really dealt with goya shermona which is pretty deep [Music] by yeah and the idea that if the uh if even if the the identity of the of the murderer of the higher eight is known even if even if you can't even if you don't know where the murder is just the fact that it's known that is that connected to this idea that consciousness itself changes the changes yeah so that's a halal inciter that if the identity of the one who killed the victim is known even if he was not obtained it already changes it already changes it so expressed in words right even if even if there was no legal testimony yet in the court nonetheless it already changes the status and you're asking if that's a a manifestation of the idea that consciousness already changes the reality i i think there is a truth to that hold on one second i i certainly think there's a truth to that and you see it in different halachus how consciousness itself changes already the reality of things in fact a girl who's raped unbelievable yeah there's a second other it affects her virginity right well kel gomer of the base stand so powerfully that it can actually change that uh girl right right right i think that's what we're speaking about right yeah yeah at the end he's discusses a lot this point the consciousness okay cover that thank you very much have a beautiful beautiful day everybody
