okay so uh good day to everyone we are
on
page
page 83.
yesterday we learned the
the addition of the khasit of hasidis's
explanation of knee as it impacts
remiss and rush
and today
we will learn how it impacts kabbalah
sold
which is the fourth dimension of
exploring the title
so let's get right to the text
no i'm sorry i'm sorry i joke
yeah i'm sorry page 79 no 79 right 79
tesla
the hasidic illumination of kabbalah
okay
how
if you recall we learned
that the kabbalistic understanding
and interpretation of malachi vikayam is
that melech is the level the sphere
known as malchus
and the chivakayam is the sphere known
as yasod
so this interpretation commission
the way melech
[Music]
this level
that the restoration of the soul comes
forth from this experience and level
iso
in addition to the fact that
explains this
has made him sickly with intellectual
arguments and positions
and as hasidis does
to all other aspects of kabbalah of
mysticism jewish mysticism
shibuyun
and this is an important rule
if you're looking
for a rational explanation
to the mystical esoteric dimension of
kabbalah
you must study citizens
and this is not because the rebels said
this in 1964.
let's 65
this is true going back hundreds of
years
that people who wanted to understand
better
kabbalah learned citizens
those that were trained in a tradition
for example sfardim
north african jews
that it's not necessary to understand
kabbalah so they continue reading
kabbalah as they do till today
and i might tell you that i might i will
tell you that this includes great
capitalists
i had the chance
and the privilege of meeting
the i think the great nephew or a nephew
of the baba sally's name was mach luff
lassri
he lived at the time in demona
and i went to see him
someone brought me there
and
at nine at night i forgot my then we
went on to twas
and i forgot my hat
that's right
that's the story and when i came back to
get my hat
it was dark and it was sitting outside
it was very hot
and he was just saying mumbling the
words of the tsar
akaddish
and here is someone who
was plugged in capitalistically
because until today
i see some of the things she told me to
be
100 true
and i actually live with them and i
don't disclose them often
but
those things i'm not going to say
everything
but some of those things that are very
useful
have been very useful in my life
he told me
but when you you know now i'm not saying
he didn't know the translation of the
words that i was reading in the zoa i'm
not saying that
but the havana the hasbara
the understanding the elaboration
when you talk about this sphere on that
sphere and this one within this one and
this
and this in this yearhood
that requires
an understanding if you wish to
understand it and that because this
provides
and kabbalah doesn't provide provided
because kabbalah is about
the what i call the pipe system
of judaism
because a with a is b with a a and c you
know positive and negative
with
the technicalities
but if you want to understand the
technicalities and you want to live with
the technicalities
you need siddhis and that's what the
balchemta vacations did
when he introduced hasidic teachings it
wasn't just about running around and
dancing
and singing it's a big mistake
that
some academics
many years ago
led people to believe
and unfortunately tainted citizen
as a radical
mystical group in the sense of
you know
wild type of behavior because everything
anything and everything goes
etc and that's what the bashanta was
about which is the furthest thing from
the truth
but that was done by these you know
academics many years ago and they're
still on the shelves and quoted
all over
and uh to break through this
fallacy of the academic world has been a
very very big struggle
although i must say we've made a great
stride in in in in in doing that
but that was a fallacy the balchemtev
came to explain the tata
in an intellectual way through hasidism
together with
an emotional simcha like novaday
and akova taivo
and everything is equal you know
everything is is is from hashem and
everything is correct and everything
else
let's continue so that's what he says
over here the parentheses
that
not only in this matter of maidani does
kassidism
give us clarity
to the way kabbalah understands maidani
but it's true for every aspect of
kabbalah
canal seif aleph as we said at the end
of chapter one of this
essay
the inner
intent
of the of modal knee is near gosh is
regesh is felt
and no danny lives
in a totally different way within the
jew and that will see now we'll see what
that means top of 81. so he gets right
he gets right now to the heart of the
matter
now there's going to be some heavy stuff
going on here so please pay attention
and of course review it
peanut peter zell piece
to exp the explanation
of modern according to citizens
uh is if you don't mind muting i hear
some background noise
sweetest
mouth abrupt maybe you too afro
he bring
when we talk about the meda and sphera
the sphere called malchus
it's one that has a association
the whole concept of time and place
begins where with spheres amalgams
why usfenas are your sight because when
you look at the knight sphere known as
isaiah the foundation
that's an experience of godliness that
transcends
any association whatsoever with the
world
as we know it
the world as we know it
of time and space begins
with malchus not yes
therefore
the
all middles of it
in heaven meaning in the spiritual realm
doesn't mean just in heaven in the
spiritual
realm wherever that may be
sorry i read it wrong
said all
middles
as possible for there to be any concept
of time of space and time
in the parenthesis um
and from the perspective of these
middles
miss batman nazman vamokham it's using
the comedy the concept of time and space
are annulled completely
the whole idea that things have to be in
a certain place in the certain time
is just from the perspective of malchus
and downward
if from the perspective of your site
and upward it's not that way
when we talk about the unity of mahouse
with your site who this means
is the revelation of the infinite god
light of god that transcends that's
greater than the worlds
holy course
into the level of godliness
islam that invest itself in the world
in other words
we're talking about
an investment
of pure godliness that's transcendental
okay let's use the word in english
transcendental it transcends time and
space
is now
communicated in time and space
and that's an oxymoron on one hand how
could that be
but that's the way god made it
god made within time and space an energy
that shatters time and space
and if you think that this is some
far-off
uh mystical concept guess what
it's in the torah
yes sir could you figure out where in
the territory that we find this
anyone
you look at
it says exactly the dimensions of the
ark of the aron in the mishkan
and guess what and then you figure out
the measurements of the room
and according to those measurements
there should be no room for the ark
because the room is full from corner to
corner
so cause i'll know this
and gazelle says
the space the physical space
of the ark aina minamida
it was there
with its dimensions
and yet it was beyond
dimensions
that's a miracle but it guess what it
existed
so what do we see
that there was a physical place in the
world
that held within itself
something that transcended
physicality and material and material
limitations and dimensions
so this is proof cover
that this concept that ever says here
that which is what josephus explains
yogi
that you could be within time of space
and experience timelessness
and spacelessness
is real
now it's up to us to work on that
but in in in in musa in idea
okay
avrom
the concept
existed in reality
in
which tells us
that it exists in the world you see if
it wouldn't exist in the world it would
be impossible for it to be in the
mishkan
but because hashem as we're learning
here
took his infinite energy his
transcendental energy and he inserted it
in time and space
that means that within time and space
you can experience timelessness and
spacelessness
so the next time
you say to yourself and i'm sure it will
be in a few hours from now
i can't do it
remember this yes you can
yes you can
you know why you can
because if you relate to the
transcendental
experience of godliness
and you live with that you can do
anything
now it doesn't mean doing it and
offending people and all that
in other words
the fact is my ship other people might
not be experiencing what you're
experiencing
so if you go off
on your
holy trip
and and and and go into a place that's
not experiencing that there's going to
be a crash
and then we have this every day as well
when we get so excited about something
and we're so animated and we want to
live with the truth
and we want to transcend
and our wife and our kids and our
community
are not ready yet
they're not there yet so if you
superimpose your
yearning and longing and and and
give valdic
experience
very very nice but you're hurting
someone else so there's a balance
either
do it outside of their place time and
space so they don't
get offended or take them along for the
ride
have transformed them as well share with
them this
idea
and have them raise
rise to the occasion that's even greater
but this is what happens when people and
this is not just with bali chuva this is
any one of us yesterday
i've been you know wanting to open a
similar type of kylo in florida
for the last you know six months i've
been asking here and going here talking
to him and this rabbi this place and
this once again that the board said no
you know
all the typical stuff
and finally yesterday contacted sir one
of the chabad rabbis who has a beautiful
brand new shoe
large and they're into learning it's a
it's a good location and all that
and first he gave me you know um
yeah questions
i've answered all your questions now you
want to do it good you don't want to do
it just tell me you don't want to do it
let's go on there's nothing here to you
know we need a chairs and tables
and a teacher so what else i'm the
teacher we got chairs tables and light
and air conditioning your building's
open
why can't we learn there you know what
no problem we won't learn there he's a
he he gets back to me in the evening
probably spoke to some of his word
people or people whatever i have no idea
yes we will do it but you'll be
responsible for publicity
here's an example
i can have the greatest ideas
but if i don't have a kaylee that's
along with me we have a clash or it
doesn't work
you understand
so
this idea that we're learning right now
is not just some
hasidic idea that's deep and profound in
context
it's very real
and this is what we're learning and
we're continuing on to the text
that we have to
unite maujus with your site
if you want to impact the world malhus
which is limited you need to
energize it with the assigned experience
which is the
in which is the transcendental
aspect of god
you can't in other words
this world here's the point
this world
will not be transformed if you go about
it in a limited way
because limitations means
weakness
limitations means
um control
and that's
it's good
it's good but it gives room for the
worldliness to creep in
so the world really says
come on
it's not nice
you're not ishmael nasheem
look at your front your friends say
about you
look at what la the say and all of
that
a rabbi just passed away yesterday
is 92 i'm going to make a tribute to him
his name was rabbi pinchus
weberman he was a rabbi
in miami from
from 1960.
a lot to say and i'll leave that for the
tribute
it was a very special year
in talking to my brother my brother
lives down in miami
and who knew him well
you know
and i knew him when i came and listened
to sheer and dived into the shoe
it was a man who
stood up for yiddish kite
for tayden
against everybody
in other words he fought muhammad he was
a fighter
my brother says you know he wasn't he he
was a bucky shasta i believe
he was like become a genius he was very
knowledgeable
but that wasn't his strength the
strength was he was a fighter
a fighter
win some
and lose a self even if they win the the
what's the expression of the battle lost
the war
because
people don't accept you
only hashem knows the truth that you
fought for the emmys of tata and you
stood up
what we're learning here is
to know that we have
a aspect of the lycose of godliness
in us because god inserted in the world
through the nine spheros and
particularly his fetus
to unite with malchus
so that mountains is no longer
an energy that's compromised
because it accepts the ways of the world
but malus now is
uh a a a
a dual reality on one end its mouth was
made creating the world giving place for
time and space and at the very same time
in malcolm's there is godliness let's
continue transcendental godliness
next paragraph page 81
second paragraph
that's why
we learn according that the restoration
of the soul comes from the level of
called
melech
restoration of the soul each morning
it's a new creation as we said yesterday
in
the novelty
of ex nilo something from nothing known
in hebrews yes
that i'm the first one i believe who
quotes this in the text of the of his
commentary embarasses
although in actuality
[Music]
filtered through malhus
skip the parenthesis
the holes are nevertheless
what gives
the kayak the energy
the battery
in
to create something from nothing
who does may osmos eat himself
shall a myeloma
it specifically comes from a place of
essence known as osmos
the infinite aspect of god but
transcendental
that transcends any and all association
with worldliness and the concept of
world over male and therefore
and they have done in their inv
in order to create something you need to
be above one moment
my ship you need to be above
nothing and something
now i think you hear this especially
as the
says it
is creation
yes
something from nothing
comes along citizen this is what he
alludes to over the year dr liberty says
in the getters chapter 20
that in order to make i in it yes from
iron
it needs to come from even a greater
place a higher place
a place of transcendence why
because afrom i in
which we call nothingness let's but
meaning the this energy of god that
creates is already limited to creation
it's forced to create
the purpose yaini of
is creation
so as soon as you say
that something is ready
kind of has a message an image
that is a limitation
so how can it create
how can you make something from nothing
if the if from something from an energy
called nothing if that energy's already
associated with what it's going to
create
comes along delta and says you're right
real creation come from
essence
well okay look at the next two lines
i'll get back to you much in a few
minutes
yesterday beautiful that's why atomos
can make
nothing to be
yes
ma king conversely
when you talk about an energy that is
already associated with the world
mugder you're going to say remember
those devil's words very important
khan
spent a lot of time explaining this to
us in yeshiva
mukd
that light is already
relative
and
confined
to
the limitations of the world
so basically
education
you want to be an educator and we do
parents grandparents teachers
you need to be above
the student and teacher relationship you
have to be
greater
in order because already a teacher is
already these are the rules
these are the rules in a classroom
students listen to the rules teacher
present the rules properly
so both teacher and student are already
confined
there needs to be something greater than
the rules the whole
idea
of a relationship between a student and
a teacher the notion of student and
teacher
transcends
teaching methods
and and and and learning methods by
students
it's greater the notion
needs to be created that's the same
thing over here in order for there to be
a world
in order for that to be yeshmia in
it needs to come from a place from
experience
that's what we call essence octopus yes
maisha what you want to say
yeah i just i just it's last for the
last few minutes
just i mean i didn't not going to say
any kiddish but just to
the message scene i'm trying to think of
the practical examples and then it just
basically comes to basically kind of
what you're saying
is that the jew i wrote i wrote the the
jew must live
in the physical world
and he has to be able to deal with it
right like we can't go up and live on
specific mountain we have to deal with
day in day out bills and right
our wives and whatever yeah
taking out garbage
right everything yeah but the jew had to
carry himself
always above
the world here the jew has to he has to
bind himself and live and live himself
live his life
that he's beholden to a higher authority
obviously which is a british right
and and that that's his that's his guide
that is his guy good let me finish the
last paragraph
and this recognition comes to man
again we see that ebba goes back to his
concept of yakida
now this is going to get a little
technical but we we will get through it
one
how caught him
saying himself the recognition of the
essence of god absurdist is only
possible next page
page 83
when you relate to that aspect of your
soul
which is transcendent abraham what
aspect is that
is the transcendental
aspect of soul
look in the parenthesis machine king
conversely are
they're already associated with the
level of godliness that has an
association to the world so that's
limited
base
even
the true recognition in the novelty of
yash me i in creation ex nilo shayakir
in that in bold that you should
recognize follow raksha yogan
you're innocent not only you should
understand
recognize hakora
there's understanding and there's a
recognition
i want you to think about this over
sharp is the difference between
understanding and recognizing something
i don't want to hear about it now but
this is important
i understand something
versus i recognize something
okay
very the word
the word
in hebrew even modern day hebrew
means to get to know
okay that that that is correct that is
you're on the right track you that's
siddha says that so think more about it
yes
my from the perspective
of osmus of essence
the recognition is there is no room
aimless
for existence on its own independent
and all of its independence is
considered
so where does this come from
it must come may actually save himself
from the essence of god
in other words
that aspect of our the shaman
where everything is god only god
and therefore even
the
the idea
of the yesh
from the perspective of yakida is no big
deal
it's already it's already
formed it has a message
we we're looking for a place and an
experience that is beyond form and
message which is
tonight
so um
it's the
greatest opportunity for
godly revelation of yehida
is the month of of
because we're taught in ghazal
that when there's the
greatest depression and melancholy and
destruction god forbid by the way that
devil was careful
not to say destruction and hear hebrew
sometimes you he wouldn't say corbin you
know
we have to know that the the tachless
hyurita is for the aliyah
does that mean you don't have to keep
the halal cause of the nine days i'm
sure you do but nevertheless
we have to know that there is
a purpose to this madness
and the purpose to this madness is
to come to the highest point
and that's why sometimes we fall very
low
and it's very difficult when you're
stuck in the mud
quicksand and in the mud to get out
and what's that but you have to stop and
think why am i here it's give me a good
kick in my pants and get up and bounce
back greater than ever before
that's right
that's the message
however i have a great shabbos and a
great hiders will talk to everyone share
mondays
thank you
