is so far away. Oh,
>> anyways.
>> That's our introductory.
>> You all right?
>> We're rolling.
>> Okay. Sed. Anyways, so here we go. The
we mentioned that there are four
different types. I want to give a recap
of a tiny bit. Just a two-minute recap.
We mentioned that there were four
different types of people that get
different. If you remember what we spoke
about, we said there are people who are
bonim
which could be the majority of us.
That's the majority of us that people go
to ganam. You get burnt a little bit,
stoked up a little bit here and there
and then you go to you go to the next
world. That's one type. We mentioned
there are people who are who are that
they might even walk through Gan. We
mentioned they said something like that
they walk in but they don't stoke the
fires. It stays all nice and and cool
and relaxed and you can sit there
comfortable walk through until you get
to a it's obviously not uncomfortable.
So you warm your hands a little bit.
Exactly. on your way on your way you can
just [laughter]
he goes through a few minimal people are
I don't know if you have to be moshenu
to reach this level but you have to be
from the big people that go straight to
without any interruptions without any
ganam in the middle without any type of
thing like that and we did mention that
there's a number of people according to
the paleoa it's a lot of people are
doing this but not everybody that are
that they made a lot of they did a lot
of and therefore they have to be
purified and before even going to gem
because going to gamm itself is a it's a
benefit because through gueam you get
purified and then you get to go so some
people have to go to kafaka they go to
something or you have gilgulim which we
did not speak about yet we're going to
speak about that separately or besides
gilgulim there's an idea of kafella
kafaka we spoke about is literally being
flung from one end of the world to the
next they play the two angels play pitch
with you they pitch you from one end to
the other person gets thrown from one
end. We spoke about a little bit the
pain is over 33% more than ganim. It's
an incredibly painful experience. We
quoted from the go and I don't want to
go through it all again but basically we
said it was not a comfortable thing.
It's even worse than ganam. People in
kafakella are trying to run for geanum.
They try to slip themselves into ganam
in order to get in there and all the
people in geanum make sure they kick him
out and say no way. There's no room for
you and everybody stay where you need to
be because you don't deserve to be here.
Okay. Basically that's what we spoke
about. Like I said even worse sometimes
is gilgulim but that we're going to
speak about on a separate basis. Those
are the different things. Then we also
spoke about the Ramban who asks what
kind of pain are we referring to over
here? It's a strange little pain over
here because the body is in the ground.
So if the body's in the ground where can
the physical body get hurt in Ganam. So
obviously he spoke about a spiritual
aspect. We've already spoke about the
nephesh and the we're made up of five
different and we spoke about the idea of
maybe a them is the image of a person.
There's a certain mirror image that a
person has up in shim. We mentioned that
it applies in many places. Those are
usually the ghosts that you see in this
world. The you might be able to see has
to do with his everybody has an image of
himself. That's what a person sees when
he goes up to shim. his relatives and
he's able to recognize them because
there's a certain salm and that sal is a
certain connecting device the ru the ru
that connects between the nef and the
for spoke about I'm not I'm not getting
into I'm just giving a quick recap here
so I don't want to get into it and that
is what the pain that a person goes
through that is being experienced
through a metaphysical fire a
metaphysical being with a metaphysical
fire the fire is not a literal fire it's
a fire of gam which I do want to explain
today we're going to explain how works
but basically it's a fire to a part of
your body and that's what the person uh
the person ends up uh going going
through. Okay, we also mentioned there
are seven different names to ganam.
There's seven different names to ganam
that all have to do with a lack of
something which again is going to
connect to what we're speaking about
today.
is the depths. Is destruction
the
borit
usually obviously have to do things with
death things like that. The Ramban as
the words ganam which we spoke at if you
remember gay benhim we mentioned gay
benhim that's we spoke about last time
is a place by a guy who owned benhim
it's somewhere near which I'm going to
speak about also today about it was a
gay is an open uh open courtyard. Okay.
And that's where gehennam lies. No
coincidence. It starts with the word
gay. But anyways, that uh that that's
that's the idea. People will pick that
up. But anyways, that's the uh that's
the idea of ganim of gay benm and that's
where it comes from. We mentioned about
that's where they used to sacrifice
their children to certain gods, the
mole, etc. And that's where this name
this name came from. Okay. Now a couple
quick points before we describe in
detail what Ganam looks like. First of
all, when was ganam? Just based on what
we're saying now. When was create ganam
created? When was this creation created?
You know, we know when everything was
created on the seven days of brash. It's
all written in the Torah. You open up
for we all know we all know when it was
created. But the answer is an
interesting one. The says in it says
there's two different types of fires
which like I said is connecting to what
we're speaking about until now is
there's two different types of fires.
There's the esh of that is the words of
the Yeah. There's a of this world which
of course who knows the fire that we're
familiar with which is also very dak
very subtle right fire is a very subtle
thing it's it's something that you can't
even touch not that you can't touch cuz
it's hot but it's not something physical
it's something metaphysical it's
something that you can it's not
something real again I'm going to
discuss this later
our light was created on Shabbat
but the oran which like we said from the
is a fire was created
on the second day of creation. Now we
have a you saw know the is everything
that was created earlier in brait in the
creation
is more more spiritual. That's why the
organ the highest thing that we have is
the or
which was created on the first day. We
know that's not the light that we have.
That's the organ. That's a only the sun
and the moon were only created on the
fourth days. Those are physical objects.
That was on the fourth day. The super
metaphysical light that was created of
the ora
right was created on the first day
because that light was a is the light of
the light we're going to see in the time
of mashia that's why it was created on
the first day
>> what was the source that
>> what was the source of that light was
definitely not the sun they say some
people say I remember in some people
want to say that that that's the
question mash do you go after do you go
after the light or do you go after the
sun because bes mash you don't have a
sun But you still have light. So that
time period is how much during that time
period when the sun goes behind the
mountains and you don't see it anymore.
So there's room to say oh the day is
over but there's still light. So there's
room to say oh there's still day. So the
question is do you go after the light or
do you go after the sun? That's the
question. That's one of the ways that
there idea of mash which is what you
call twilight in English. Anyways so
that's the idea that the or of ganam was
created on the shi. I said this on
purpose to show that there's a strong
distinction between our fire and the
fire of ganam. [clears throat] One was
created on Monday
and one was created on Shabbat and one
was created on
Shabbat. Okay, that's what brings in the
pirate of
says that it was created and this is
what he says over there.
What else was created on the second day
and this very significant is also the
the angels were created on the second
day even though we've mentioned this in
the past a few sh ago that the the we
have our soul or spirit was created on
the first day. So you see how because
that's a that's an extension of
right you follow me then is a part of
and that was created on day one because
it was much more spiritual the which is
a step down which is step down we spoke
about this also is the nama higher is
the malim are the angels higher who's
higher our nishama is incredibly high
level it's just in a bad state of being
right now it's in our bodies
unfortunately and he has to suffer
inside of our bodies but the nama is
very high and it was created on the
first day. Okay, that's what comes out
from many the
it was created on a later day on the
fifth day but
we hold that it was created
on the second day the malik okay that's
that's what comes out okay so so that's
a that's the seder
okay now one other important is that
some people ask that the gar
also says there's that
that say that there were seven things
that were created before the world was
created. Seven things that Hashem made
before the world was created. Seven
things. What are those things? The
Torah, as we all know, chuva,
repentance, the Torah that we have to
the Torah is the blueprints of the
world. So, of course, Hashem created the
Torah before it was created. the bet
midash mikdash the place whereabe sits
okay that's all was created before the
name of msiach because hashem will not
make a creation that has a problem
before you see the future to it the
msiach was already set in a already set
there before the creation right he set
the he set the end point before he even
did the beginning point you understand
so that's why the name of mashia is also
that's five and what are the last two
gam and ganed two of the things that
were created Before the world was
created is also gem and also ganim. So
this is a little bit of contradiction
because we just finished saying that gem
was created on the second on the second
day and here we are that we're saying
that ganam was created on the on the uh
before before the world was created.
That's first of all second of all ganed
when was ganen created so over there
also the p of he says that ganed was
created on the third day. Okay is all
significant. The third day we know was
when the trees and the grass and the
land started sprouting, right? So of
course we know that also appropriate
time for Ganeden to come about.
Appropriate for Ghana to come about.
That's when things start getting plush
and nice. If that's what Ganaden looks
like, I'm not sure. You can go to
Switzerland Gaden there if you want.
Obviously Gan is a little bit more than
that. But the idea is that when the
world started producing
beauty, so Ganed was also created. Okay,
Gan was also created. Ghanam which I'll
tell you I'll explain soon I don't want
to explain it yet it was created on
purpose on the second day that was on
the second day so here we have a double
contradiction ganed's on the third day
and ganam's on the second day so the
answer and and here we have it that the
garra says it was created before the
creation happened so what's the answer
so the answer that's given by the per
basically is that aiden was created
before but the pet the opening to get in
was open. It was created on the third
day. There was no access until the act
of the third day. And gem, the esh of
geanum, the esh of ganam was created on
the second day. But ganam itself was
created before. Meaning the actual
fires, the fires itself, that itself was
created on the second day. Okay? Meaning
there's difference between the creation
of Ganam and the fire of Ganim. It was
created at different at different um um
uh different time periods. Okay? They
created a different time
>> at different time periods. It's a good
question. I'm not sure. I don't I have a
good answer for that. I was kind of
thinking that also I don't know but I'm
sure there's some significance.
>> And Shouba had to be created before.
>> Say again.
>> Chuba. Yeah, that's that's always in L
they speak about this all the Bali
Muslim
before because before any can come
Hashem already gave us the opportunity
for repentance before the Mak before the
Makkah. Similar to what I'm saying now
with Gan and Ghanam and also with
Mashiach. We don't we won't have a whole
2,000 years of galut without a mashia
already on on our doorsteps.
>> So far so good. Okay, that's what comes
out. So if I can be a sake in a nutshell
on the first day of creation then
without the stuff that you know already
from the pukim right the nama was
there's nama was created and also the
oreganos was created okay very high
levels the nama and also the oregon on
the second day you have ganam with its
fire was created and a few other things
the malim were also created the angels
and a few other things which I didn't
speak about yet thirdly
was created on the third day on the
sixth day. Then we have the physical
body, right? Then was on the first day,
but the physical body is on the sixth
day, which of course we know. And on M
Shabbat, we have of course the physical
fire that we all know and love. Okay,
that's basically what's um
uh that's what happened. And therefore,
from all this, I'm trying to show that
everyone agrees that it's nothing to do
with our fire. Our fire is Shabbat. This
is incredibly metaphysical fire which
was created on the second. Now in
thearim the ramban calls this in the
beginning of brachit. If you want to
look over there, he talks a lot about
this long long run buns in the beginning
of Brchid. He calls this fire to home or
it's known as it's a different type of
fire. Even though our fire gives light,
this fire gives darkness, right? which
it does also fire can give darkness to
he says
says that's what it means when we say
is the fire the fire of okay in the
morning which is the he says
when you heard the call within the is
referring to the of okay that's what he
brings he brings how all the elements
work the the surrounds the ar the land
surrounds the water the water surrounds
the ruach, the wind, if you will, and
the ru and then ash and ish is always on
the highest um uh level. Okay, that's
basically that's basically what it is.
And there's more details to this because
we'll see later. I hope I'll be able to
get to it before we finish here. Is that
we din the the source of all of the nar
is the river that's known as dinor as
dinor and is dinor comes what they say
is from the sweat of the highest angels.
The sweat of the highest angels called
the kayot the kayesh are the highest
angels and it comes from their sweat
which means that they even get hot here
right let's get really hot over there
right but what it means is the kayot are
the highest angels and sweat is itself
something distinct very subtle from a
person's body you have your physical
body right you have something physical
and then you have your sweat that comes
out of you is even less physical it's
something that's an extraction of your
body so the fire that people get burnt
in is from
of I'm just trying to show you more that
it's an incredibly d very subtle thin uh
fire painful type of experience. Okay.
And that's this idea of of of what it
is. Okay. And that's the struggle here
of how gem of how geanum works. Okay. Of
how geanom works. That's comes out
approximately how the chronology works.
[snorts]
Okay. Now again I want to speak out why
it happened on the second day. So I
guess I I'm going to speak that out now
in order that you get a clear but it's
very interesting idea. Okay. And then
we're going to get into how um how it
looks like over there in Yanim. Okay.
Basically it's like this and this is
based on the Maharal in a couple places
in the Barago
and Israel. That's first of all and and
second of all it's based on the writings
of Mosha Shapiro who is the he's the
address these days for for the all these
types of things. He was nifar just a few
years ago. Everybody knows any that's
expressed these days comes from him. And
basically it's like this. I have a
number of additions here. Like I
mentioned before is a place of the the
is called a place of now when I talk
about the darkness is what we call
meaning it is a lack of something. It's
not something positive. Follow me
because this is a somewhat slightly deep
idea. Okay is something that's lacking
something. It's not a something. It's a
lack of something. It is missing
something. Okay? It's a lack of
something. If you look at all the names
that we quoted that is called,
it's all lack of something. It's
something missing. It's something not.
It's not this. And that is
it's not being anywhere. It's not being
anywhere. If I could say in Yiddish,
it's right. You know what I'm saying?
You know the expression you're nowhere.
You want to be here. and want to be
there. A person only finds his
existence. I'm not just talking about
being happy. Your existence is only in
as much as you are in a m in a place.
When you find yourself in a place, so
then you have a a per you have a place
you have or if you want to say a sim but
even without a you have a certain
feeling of being or everybody wants to
be. You want to exist.
That guy said I think therefore I am.
But you don't have to go that that's why
it's just the fact that I am through the
fact that I exist to be in a certain in
a certain place. And that's why it's
always referred to as a lack of place is
not here and it's not there. It's a lack
of place. You're not in the world and
you're not in the you're nowhere. You're
you're not in a place that's here and
there. Now listen to this. You saw a
very important idea which I remember
many times about the idea of ganam being
on the second day which I meant to you
which I said to you is very significant
because the second day was the beginning
of something after the first day. The
first day is only first. Okay. If you
notice
when we say what do we say on the first
day? When we say yom
we say we say
what what do we say? We say
but what's right I'm talking about at
the end of right before for us before
them after we say
and say
what's the difference what's saying and
because
means first you can only be first to
something when something else exists you
have to have a second and third to be
first I can't be first in a race if I'm
the only guy who ran right if I'm the
only guy who ran you're going to win you
can't say I came in first, you also came
in last, right? It doesn't work so well,
right? To be first, you need to have
other things that are there. You
understand? That's why we say on the
first day, even though all the other
days we say
because in the first day, there's no
sheni yet or noi. You're just starting.
You're just here in the beginning. So
that's why you say, okay,
it's [clears throat] let's say it's
more. It's more it's more accurate. It's
more accurate, right? I think everybody
here is Friday, so I'm pretty safe. But
it's a much more accurate way of
speaking. Okay, you say. So also with
creation when the first day was there
there was only hem al if we know Elohim
alf is always connected. Hashem is one
on the first day there's only the
existence of hashem. The second meaning
the second the rega the
second day came along.
The second they came along, you already
have a separation. Something else kilu
exists
>> apart
>> from one.
>> Apart from one, which is impossible.
There's no way you can have something
besides. We all know there is only one
and there's nothing else besides that
one. That creation was a catastrophe. If
I could say it was necessary, but it was
a necessary catastrophe. What was
created on the second day, the raikia
and and the and the and the and the yam,
the separation. First everything was all
one water and Hashem created a raia to
separate between the higher waters the
higher waters and the lower waters.
Suddenly there was separation. Suddenly
there was something suddenly there was
dissidence. There was differences
between two sides. There was something
else besides
which you follow me. Hashem on purpose
created the world this way. We all know
that Hashem created the world to make it
as if there is something else even
though we all know there's nothing else.
For a person who really knows there's
only and nothing else really exists but
he made this if I could say a bluff or
this facade or this deion this idea that
it looks like there's something else
besides
it looks like there might be something
else that exists besides Hashem's
existence but it really doesn't exist.
And that's what happened on the second
day. And that's why on the second day it
does not say keto. It doesn't say keto
on the second day. All the other days it
does. On the second day it does not say.
Why not? Because there was a lack of to
on that day because that was the
beginning of separation of differences
of something else being in the world
besides.
That's why like I said the higher waters
and lower waters. What do we speak
about? What what do we say on the second
day? What do we say masher?
We [snorts and clears throat] talk about
ben we this is the day we speak about
the epitome of Mr. gets brought up on
the second day. Why? Because this is the
day that was created. Everything started
on the second day. And that's why also
the malim were created on this day. The
malu
there's some other you know people used
to there's a certain extent people they
can you can dab into a malik people you
know they might
they might think of a malik as a godly
figure. You understand? There might
there's many different things that a
person can be end up falling to the
wayside because of the second day. And
that of course is why gem was also
created on the second day. Gehennam was
created on the second day. The fire of
Gan was created on the second day. Why?
Because it was the beginning of Ku
showing there's something else besides
Hashem in the world. There's something
that exists. There's Hashem and Kuan.
even though it's not true and it doesn't
really exist but the idea that I could
think that way and I could maybe you
know maybe there's an idea that the
world exists without a hashem right like
unfortunately many of our our young
youth are falling to the wayside to this
absolute stupidity without thinking
twice oh maybe there is no Hashem right
because they don't think very much but
it started from this yami that is able
to able to happen that's why it's a
deadly day as they say it's a day of
it's a day of nothing of lack of missing
because a person thinks he's doing
something and he's really not. And that
is the description of gem. That is the
description of what is gamm is that you
are nowhere. You think you're somewhere.
I thought I was here and I thought I'm
going somewhere but you really end up
being nowhere. Gam is I don't have a
place. I don't have a mum to to to
anchor myself. I'm nowhere there. And
when a person's not here and not there,
it is the most painful experience that a
person can have. A person needs to be
somewhere. I need to be grounded
somewhere. I need to know that I am
somewhere. If I don't have any
connection with anyone else, if I'm
nowhere, if I'm not here, not there. So,
it's why why you understand what I'm
saying? Yeah. Why is this called
nowhere? Because it's called nowhere
because it comes from thinking that I
was somewhere. The whole time I was in
this world, I thought that there was
Hashem and I said, I I don't need this
Hashem thing and I'll do my own thing.
the the world lives without him. So the
punishment is exactly what you said. You
are nowhere. You understand? Because
this thing doesn't exist. Hashem, I told
you it's a little bit of a deep concept.
Do you follow what I'm saying? No. Or
not. I'm creating a void. I create the
with my action. My action itself creates
the ganam. When I do something that
makes it as if there's no Hashem. So I
end up creating an empty space. I end up
creating something that doesn't exist
because there is no such a thing as
doing something against Hashem. But I
made it as if I can do something against
Hashem and I put myself in this place
that we call Ganim, which is not a real
existent place. You follow what I'm
saying? It's a it's a very important
it's a very important uh a very
important to to understand. And if
you're able to do that, you'll realize
how painful can be because in some ways
I could speak about ganam and say, "Oh,
there's fire and you go into a burning
thing and it hurts and these types of
things." But you know what? When you
think about it, at least you say, "Okay,
within 3 seconds you're dead." Okay, but
if if I think about it the way I'm
talking about now that I'm nowhere, the
best way I could think about it is even
if a person is a person always wants to
have a family, you don't have a family.
I want to be married. At least have
someone to make. You're not married. At
least I want to have a friend. You don't
have any friends. Okay. At least I'll go
to the bar and hang out with some guys.
You can't do that either. Okay. So, what
happened? The guy's put in jail. Okay.
At least in jail there's the couple guys
that you're in the jail cell with that
you leave. Okay. that also that I'm
going to take away from you. I'm going
to put you in solitary confinement. Wow,
that's really difficult. I put you in
solitary confinement. You're in your own
jail cell with no interaction with
anyone. A person go crazy. And here's
the worst of the worst. And this I can't
even fathom to be able to ever have such
a thing. Japanese torture here. They put
you into solitary confinement in a dark
black room. Right? Whenever you get your
food, they just open a little window and
throw it in through some tin that comes
in and the person goes to sleep and
wakes up in darkness. Goes to sleep and
wakes up in darkness. You'll go bananas,
right? You'll go mishuga. There's only
so many days, months, and for sure years
that you can go before you just start
kicking the walls or kill yourself or
try to do something together. You
there's only so long that you can handle
such a situation. You understand?
Because it makes you go a little crazy.
They didn't do this exactly, but with
with Pard when they put him in
solidarity and confinement for a while
because they wanted him to go a little
bit crazy. They wanted to forget all the
secrets that he knew. So, they put him
in solitary confinement there for a
thing. I don't think they put him in
black, but to sit in one of these black
that in in if you want to really kind of
think about what Ghana might be like,
it's kind of like that cuz I'm nowhere.
I'm not here. I'm not there. I'm
nowhere. I'm just in darkness. I'm I'm
not anywhere. I'm not connected to
anyone. I'm not connected to anything. I
I I don't have a place. I don't have a
I'm a in in the world. I don't have a
place in life. And it's an incredibly
painful experience because you need to
be somewhere with someone with
something. You need to know that I exist
in somewhere. And that is why it's a
very painful experience that we call
ganam. Yeah. You want to test
>> there's something some connection with
we know are days of
[snorts]
>> is there any connection?
>> So you're saying that yeah we turn them
into days of because when you're on the
lowest that's the day to be able to make
it then which is interesting because
those are the two days of the question
of when the malim were created. There's
a question the malik was created on the
fifth day or the third the second day.
But you're right those those days are
days of that's right.
So why is that concept
that's also that's also a separation
>> it wasn't a separation in place maybe a
little bit in time if you will because
creation needed time but I'm talking
about now a higher level in place that
there was differences but everything was
one there was no there was no
differences he just created the
existence of an existence we always say
the first day was the day of kilo was
the day that he ko was limit limited
himself I don't know what the good word
himself in order to leave room for
creation.
Okay. I I think that was a a very
important um important idea but that's
why all the names of gehennam are always
referring to uh something negative or
not negative but nothing a lack of
something. And some second of all it's
referred to as that's why we said it's
called the fire of Adam is called
because it's not here not there. It's
like like I told you, you're not really
anywhere.
So, it's a very um so it's a very
painful type of experience. Also, the
miktiel speaks about this in page 296 if
someone wants to look it up. Um okay,
that's uh that's this idea. Okay.
Especially when a person was focused on
himself for so long and I was focused on
my interests and suddenly everything
that I have is not here and everything I
wanted doesn't exist. So that's where
the pain of Ganam. So this I think is a
good explanation of we spoke about this
phys metaphysical fire. We spoke about
the time that it was created and through
the time of creation you now get a
better understanding of what ganam is
all about of what type of painful
experience it is. It's the fact that I
am absolutely nowhere. I stand not here
and not there. Okay, that's a little bit
of this um this concept. Okay, so now
let's get just a little bit in a few
details here. We have about 10 minutes.
So let's just get a little bit details
about what ganum a little bit of a
structure of this uh thing that we call
okay
says
uh it's a
soar says what does it means
a very narrow spot says is made up of a
place that's very narrow
it's like a beaker it's like a beaker
it's it's it's a it's it's uh
>> narrow on top and wide on the bottom.
It's like a beaker. You understand? Or
it's like some people you might know,
right?
It's wide on the bottom, but why don't
it's a beaker and the why the it says
that is because it wants the ashan to be
in order that the
fire of the the
smoke of the fire doesn't go outside.
That way they get also tumulted by the
fire and also by the smoke of the fire.
It's not enough just to be burnt by the
fire but even the smoke of the fire does
them in. Okay, that's what he brings the
Hashem was when deepened and then spread
it out because over here it's thin and
then only afterwards it ends up being a
little bit more uh spread out. Okay. So
the Ramban and this is a very important
point which I want to bring out the
Ramban in he has a long piece in Shar
about Gehennam and over there he busies
himself and the Raman doesn't waste
words he's a man who doesn't mince words
he busies himself coming to point out
that gehennam is a place
on earth it's a place here okay it's
something that exists it has
measurements and it's a phys not
physical it's a metaphysical place. It's
spiritual, but it has boundaries. And
I'll explain to you how it works soon,
but he basically says it's a mit. It's a
mit of something that exists, and it
even exists on this world. There's going
to be a lot of riot to this. So, just
follow me until the end. Okay? It's a
mash. First of all, you find the gum in
says the world is a 60th of the 60th of
Aiden and Aiden is a 60th of Gan.
Meaning the gem is incredibly large and
the am is almost like a kis there. The
the world is almost like a lid to a lid
on top of geanum. It's a very large
place. It's got to be large cuz it seems
to need to contain a lot a lot a lot of
people unfortunately I don't know how
many ganed gets only we're going there
right but people there's a lot of people
that need to go in there. Now what's
interesting is I want to point out
>> what the trans Yeah. Yeah. mostly. Yeah.
If you remember we said there's two two
st there's some for for some people it's
transient let's say for hopefully not us
but probably us yeah but it's also for
some people it stays stagnant for the
rashim sometimes they keep getting burnt
and they never they never get a kapara
from there okay but I do want to point
out one thing which is similar to what
we were saying before it says that it
gets bigger as much as people are added
to it meaning it's not that there's this
much room and we keep sticking people
there it's this much or this many people
it's full and it gets bigger as long as
there's more people that need entry You
understand? It's always it's always like
a like
right it has as much room as is required
in order to do that. It's not just for
convenience purpose because that is that
is based on what I said before. What did
I say before that you create your own
GAM there's no Gam that ex exists
intrinsically. You make your ganam.
Every action that you do creates a
ganam. It creates something because I
put myself in a place saying ku there's
no heashem ka put him aside k I'm
ignoring him ka I'm saying I don't live
you're putting yourself away from
existence and you yourself are creating
that place where you're going to be put
in you understand so is getting bigger
automatically I'm saying you create the
gam as long as you're doing it if I
could say it's your fault don't blame it
on it's your fault you did it it
wouldn't be there if you didn't do it
it's only as much as you're there it's
also the other way around with your
every action I do good action I do
creates me more Aiden. I'm going to get
there. It's going to be uh it's not just
like you do it and you get a prize.
Tada. You know the booby prize. Yeah,
very nice. Thank you. No, it's not it it
is what you made. What you did is is you
do it. It's a direct consequence of your
action. You understand? A guy who smokes
didn't get punished by getting lung
cancer. He gave himself lung cancer.
That is lung cancer. You didn't you did
it. It's not a punishment. Don't don't
be stupid. Right. You gave it to
yourself the smoking. Yeah, for sure.
too much. You understand? It's it's the
same it's the same type of idea. Okay,
you follow what I'm saying? So anyways,
the Ramban brings from all this that we
see that gehenn actually exists in this
world. It's a fiery place and it's very
large. Okay. However, it's so large when
you read the statistic, it's not
understood how does it fit in this
world. Now I'm going to mention to you
an explanation for it. But let me start
with one thing. We all know and they did
not know this in the past. Okay, this is
a new phenomenon which they've learned
in the past I don't know 100 or 100ish
years or something like that. We all
know that we live on an extremely thin
crust of the earth. Okay, the earth as
big as it is is extremely thin and
minimal. Right? I would call it a kisoga
if you would ask me. Right? Which is
exactly the words I just read you from
the zor the same idea. It's called the
kisa is a lid on a pot. A lid on a pot.
So he says the world is like a pot on
top of gam. It's a world of a pot. So
I'm just telling you that the crust of
the earth is a very thin. We we were
familiar with this. I'm sure we've
learned most of geology most of us
somewhere. Right? It's a very thin crust
around the earth which is very thin.
Inside you have a mandible which is a
very thick part. And then you have the
core of the earth. Right? Now the core
of the earth is piping hot. It's super
crazy hot, which they don't have fully
explanations why it's like that. And
they also don't know B, besides the heat
that's inside of it, which they did not
know existed beforehand. Besides that,
right, so all those cartoons where you
said the guy goes down to China, it's
not possible because you go down, you
get burnt into the thing, right? It's
not possible. You go get burnt by the
it's incredibly hot in the middle of the
in the core of the in the core of the
earth. But um that's that's the heat
that's contained inside of it. Also, the
thing I've saw a few documentaries about
volcanoes. Now, volcanoes also, they
don't have a perfect explanation about
where it happened. They never know when
it's going to happen or this. They're
trying to figure it out because it's
wiped out many cities in the past, etc.
But it obviously has some connection to
the incredible heat that's contained
within the crust of the earth, of
course, from billions of years ago, and
that created the whole world through all
these volcanic eruptions and billions of
years ago. But there's some type of heat
that's that's within the core of the
earth that is keeping everything
incredibly hot down there which is not
fully explained for which is not fully
explained for where that heat is coming
from and incredible heat
>> as well like as as what we see we got
heat from the sun at night time still
cold the ground's cold the sea's cold
>> okay so I I I I would agree with you but
I feel like too much of an amar to say
if I agree with you you're right you're
saying is it necessary not you're right
they don't know what it's or needed or
where it came from or how it happens.
>> It's not there's no obvious purpose to
it for
>> right I I would like to say to you right
oh I'm going to get to kame in a minute
that's what I'm going to speak about I
>> I want to say right to you but just like
I don't like when a professor starts
saying what you know what we should be
thinking is raanim what the raanim
should be thinking I'm not going to say
what the professor should be thinking
either you say I'm not going to get into
their field over much because I don't
know of course you can ask Mr. Google
and I if he's going to give me the
answers but we'll leave that right now.
>> All the magnetic forces as well cause
>> there's a lot of magnetic forces that
also cause that's true also because of
the heat. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, so
this heat that's contained, let me tell
you aal that we have from the and it's
the freeler has a whole piece on this if
you want to look in amuna. He has a
whole piece a lot of things that you see
in the which describe things.
He says like this science tells you what
meaning observations what we see. The
Torah or the Gar the Gar tell you why.
We say the llama and they say ma we say
what we see. The the scientists say what
they see. All they could do is say
observations. They can't say why it's
really like that or how it happened or
where where the sources are. They can
give all their stupid theories that they
give out about a million trillion years
ago and all that stuff.
They can't say and we the Torah comes
and tells you the why behind it. What's
interesting over here is we're talking
about heat that was stated is in the
earth from a few thousand years ago. I'm
already saying from Gumar and Zor that
already talks about the heat that was
within the earth and nobody ever thought
that there was such a strong heat inside
of the earth that was not necessarily
believed. You understand? So, this heat
is uh is what?
It's not mine. [music]
>> Not me.
>> Huh?
>> Oh, it's in your jacket. It's in your
jacket.
>> Not mine. Not mine.
>> Not my fault.
>> Okay. Anyways. All right. It's okay. You
shut up anyways.
>> Um anyways, so that's uh that's it. That
that that is contained uh within it.
That's what contained within it. Okay.
So that so what I'm saying is okay I'll
be honest with you this is my own theory
to a certain extent
>> okay this is my own theory
>> talk
>> okay so this is my own theory to a
certain extent but the heat that we see
contained in the earth is very much
interconnected with gehennam now I don't
say that everyone's going to dig a hole
and go straight down to ganam and you're
going to be burning everyone's if you go
dig in the core of the universe you'll
see a bunch of nama's going ah I'm not
talking about that right
>> just right just right that's to regard,
right? But it's like this.
There's [clears throat] such a thing as
a spiritual and a physical connection.
In our body, we see that we have a
physical body, and we all know we have
an ashama that's contained inside of it.
It's very hard to explain, but it's it's
evidence. There's nothing to deny. Some
days I'm depressed, some days I'm happy,
some days you're angry, sometimes where
do you get all these types of emotional
feelings? Or why are we all so
different? You can have 100 people in
the same room and 100 totally totally
different personalities, right? And or
600,000, right? We have a tremendous
amount of different personalities all
coming from different things. We're all
made of the same nose and eyes and this
and ears. Everybody looks the same,
right? The feature, okay, features
from a different we all know that are
all different. We come we have a
spiritual stature. This is what in my
opinion even though people don't speak
about this is like the biggest question
on on uh on what's on on the big bang or
having things that just happen by
accident. If the world is created with a
bunch of big bangs even with all the
the problems statistically but in the
end of the day we should all be robots
or we should all be computers. Okay, we
should all just all be similar. You want
to look different, fine, but how can we
all different personality? Where does
that come from? There's nothing physical
that can point to say, "Oh, you're going
to be an angry person. and you're going
to be upset person. There's nothing
physical that can be done. The answer is
it comes from a point of view that's
within you. So we see there's some
connection between an ashama and a goof.
The nama and a goof have some type of
relationship and one affects the other.
Right? A person who has this type of
nishama, this type of spirit, this type
of soul, his body will act differently.
He can even in pain sometimes even more
and things like that. But there's an
interconnected we mentioned. That's why
we say
we all know the
We say at the end what's the so the says
doesn't make any sense but somehow the
and the goof seem to have a relationship
they seem to have a they seem to affect
one another it's a pelle it's it's it's
weird it's strange it's unbel it's
wondrous I don't know how it works but
somehow it works they have this
connection
>> the mood affects the health
>> the mood can affect your health also
also yeah besides your health and also
who you are that's for sure your mood
can very much affect your health that's
very much books they talk about it.
Okay. So if that's true so I'm just
saying it's the same thing with
gehennam. Geanum is the same type of
thing. Of course what we see physical
fire underneath the the world is a
physical fire but it has a spiritual
fire. Where's the source of that fire? A
spiritual fire that's behind it which is
the esh of gam which is much bigger much
more. You're not limited. The nishama is
very big inside of our little goof. My
goof is this big. I have a big nishama
inside of there. How's that possible? So
to gem is very vast and you're not going
to see it. You can't see it with a naked
eye, but it's pinpointed as the Ramban
says in this world. It's pinpointed in a
limited world of a physical world that
we're contained inside of it. You follow
what I'm saying? It's a very it's a very
important thing. You can have a smaller
world that's connected inside of a
thing. It just doesn't take any space.
I'll give you an example of something
doesn't take space. It's spiritual. Even
though it's connected in the physical
world, the GMAR says we all should be
many people are familiar with this
Gumar. The Gumar says theim the holy of
holies in the beta mikdash was 20 by 20.
Correct? But the in the middle was the
aresh the the altar, the ark, whatever
you call, right? The ark, right? The
ark. It was in the middle. And when you
would measure from the wall to the ark,
you would measure 10. And when you
measure from this wall to the you
measure 10. When you measure from here
to here, you would measure 10. And
remember we here 10 that you know ask
any you don't need to be an architect to
know that doesn't figure out that
doesn't work. How does it go 10 10? It
shouldn't work that way because the arc
takes space
>> with
[laughter]
this Israeli contractor. Huh? Very good.
So how is that possible? The answer is
because the ark even though it looks
like it's there physically but we say
it's nice of it's it it doesn't take any
space. It's something metaphysical
doesn't take any space. It's above it's
above space. It's something that's not
limited to physical.
>> There was a physical. I have not denying
it was a physical existed. But the Gumar
says that when they would measure it,
you wouldn't see anything. It didn't it
didn't match. Okay? Just like your nama
also has incredible features, incredible
how large it is. But somehow it fits in
here. I don't know how it fits. Where is
it? Open up your body. You're not going
to see Mr. Nishama over here and over
here. You're not going to see it. But
it's metaphysical. But all I'm saying is
like this. And with this I'm finishing.
Okay. The spiritual part of you, your
nashama
is not seen is incredibly vast and it
pushes things to do things. It can it
gives you it makes you do things. So too
the the fire of gehenn you can't see but
it's the lama. It's the why that can
give the heat into the world. It can
actually express heat into the world.
And that's why we'll end up seeing
different heat inside of the world. And
this is like you were mentioning this.
I'm finishing basically is the Gumar and
Shabbat and this is the Ramban brings
his and it's a bombay I mean if as long
as you believe in a garra then it's a
there's nothing to do the gummor brings
of course the famous raiosi
holds that you're allowed to heat things
up and do which is insulating on Shabbat
if it's heated by fire it's not allowed
but you are allowed to insulate
something that's heated by sun by the
sun okay meaning if it's thermal like
our um our our our thingies
the solar energy that we have so that
you are allowed to do it. That's why
opening hot water on Shabbat initial is
better than in America.
>> Okay? Because since you're not well
for some people hold you are allowed to
but it's a lot more lenient. We have
more lenences because it's solar energy
as opposed to fire. Okay, that's what
that's how that's how we hold. So the
Gumar says one second but we know that
they insulated something in Kame Taria
in the waters of Tavarius. What do they
call the baths the hot baths of Tavaria,
right? The hot baths of Tibarius.
>> The springs. The hot springs of
Tibarius. And then and they did it and
it was assur and the rabbis got upset at
them doing them. And that's told of the
that's from the heat of the sun. That's
only heated from the heat of the sun. So
you see, you're wrong. You see, even
when something is heated by the heat of
the sun, it's also a sort to do on
Shabbat.
>> Yeah.
>> Say again. He's not knowing from the
>> So he answers that's what they asked in
the Gmorrah. What does Rio answer? He
says and this his words no you're wrong
over there it's
that's the words of no those waters get
hot because it passes by the opening of
it goes by the of the opening of that's
where he gets it heat and not only is he
saying that there's a real fire here of
of of ganam that exists but he's also
saying it's not called to it's not
called the solar energy that's called
fire that's called real fire that's the
real thing that's called fire like you
have in your stove that you're going
home to It's incredible. And that's why
it's a tob.
You can't use the tavaria waters because
it's coming from the fire of that's like
a gar black and white that's basically
saying there's a real fire of ganam in
this world that exists somewhere and
it's being burnt. Now you'll tell me so
where is this fire? How can that be?
That's that's strange. It can't be like
that. But it's like I'm telling you the
spiritual fire is affecting the world
that as we know it. So we can see heat
or like I said in the core of the uni of
the core of the earth there is heat and
it comes from the source of that heat is
from the spiritual fire of gem. So I'm
pointing out to you is gam can be
enormous and it's a spiritual fire but
it actually affects a physical world
just like our nama can affect a physical
body. There's an incredible phenomenon
here that we're pointing out that one is
able to affect um one is able to affect
the other. Okay. And that's what he
brings a number of different fires like
that. One last one we'll end with this
is the suka we know
when he was learning and a bird would
fly over his head. A bird would burn up.
You heard that right? Bird would burn
up. Where's this where the fire come
from? So that that fire was a spiritual
fire which is connected [music] to this
fire of geanum. So this is a very
important idea that I wanted to bring
out about the about the sort of gem.
Okay. So this at least was a very I
think this is a great introduction at
least not introduction but this is an
understanding of the spiritual fire how
it affects where it's located when it
was created and now we have a much
better understanding into what ganim is
next week we'll speak about the seven
levels of ganam a little bit and see how
severe it is and we'll probably get a
little bit more into the nitty-gritty we
only have two shirum left and they're
8:00 by the way okay
>> when you is
