so we're coming close to the end of the
mimer page 91
the second paragraph it starts
however
everything we spoke about
what's everything we spoke about
everything said above
about the difference between living
a real life an authentic life
a life in which you are one with
one a life in which you are completely
aligned with your truest self
a life in which you are a conduit
for the flow of the energy for the
source of life
because you become one with it in
contrast
to what you might call
more of a fake life there are those who
are alive
and there are those who make believe
they are alive
so everything we spoke about about what
he called
khiyus atzmi and kim atsumi
intrinsic existence and intrinsic life
hudaf this is all
a reflection of kedush this is what
kedusha means
because kedusha has the crucial is
defined
and it has by the these two components
bitl
of course means shedding all of the
external layers
that impose or interfere and become the
static and the barrier
between you and your truest essence
which is the infinite
manifestation of divine light and even
though we're not infinite at least on
some level
we're infinite too but we're also on
some level not infinite
it's because the uh of hashem goes into
achilles
which structures it and defines it but
even there there is absolute unity with
the infinity
that's the bittle i shed the layers
the static the thoughts
the feelings the anxiety
the stress the fears the insecurity
that arise from all types of
experiences or perspectives
and what they all do as we discussed in
previous classes the same thing
they uh
they create a they become an
interference they create a partition
between my truest self which is a
conduit
of the divine eye of the divine infinity
and this is the real authentic
definition
of kedusha this is what the person who's
living
in a realm of kadusa is living with
you're living with that oneness
one is in yourself one is of course with
hashem and
therefore one is with the world and one
is with every person you come in contact
with and one is with every experience in
every encounter
you're tuning in to the heartbeat of
oneness
that's the word tuning into the
heartbeat of oneness
so there's bittel and there's yehud
bittaliz
mavatal nullify shedding the layers that
interfere
and yehud is the oneness the unity that
comes as a result because you
are in a state of bitter
kedush is just removing the static
and the externalities and the
superficiality which could be not so
superficial it could
it could seem very deep than interferes
now let's go to the other side and we
call it the other side
like the passage says
everything has about everything has a
counter force in this world
zelu umaza things
[Music]
they also have divine energy what do you
mean
clippos has divine energy
because if not they couldn't exist even
the perception
that the world is completely divorced of
god and the perception
that we're not a manifestation of
infinity and the perception
that i am completely lonely and on my
own and the perception that this is
about survival
of the fittest and the perception that
my trauma
defines me even after all of that
everything that exists is because
there's a divine
life in it he says that's true but
mikhail mukhem nonetheless
means despite all of this mikhail mukhem
which means
from any place
like despite his shayna
because the definition of clippers that
it's not bottle telecos
it does not shed the layers
that cover up the truth of reality
if it would shed the layers would we
call it clip
clipper means that it has layers that's
what a clip what's a clipper
a clipper means there's a layer a shell
a husk
a cover-up it has the layers so in other
words
that in the world of clip itself even
though it also lives off divine energy
which means that ultimately you can
excavate
sometimes you can excavate i say
sometimes because you have to be
you have to know your limits with this
as well you don't want to get stuck
but sometimes you can excavate and find
the divine purpose ultimately in the
clipper also for example
it may be teaching you something
extraordinary about yourself
it may be pointing what your mission is
it may be
bringing you to a very deep place of
awareness to a very deep place of
empathy of compassion
but in a revealed conscious way what's
the message of clipper
it covers up it's not bottle alicus what
means
it does not align itself it's not the
refrigerator i'm going to go back to my
refrigerator
it's not the refrigerator plugged in
and therefore becoming a conduit in a
very conscious revealed way of divine
electricity
now the truth is it is plugged this is
where the metaphor falls short
the refrigerator i can unplug here if
you unplug the refrigerator you don't
only not have cold food
or fresh food you don't have a
refrigerator
you don't have a refrigerator the only
source of life is
hashem ella kim emes like we learned
yesterday in rambam
the amazing first chapter of the rambam
and mishnah
said they are tied up aleph where he
describes over there that the navi says
hashem allah kim
emes like we learned earlier in the
mimer hashema kim
there's no ms in the world outside of
russia there could be a lot of things in
the world but the only
emes that exists in the world is the ms
of reality is only hashem
there's no ms in the world that's
outside of the divine
i what do you mean there's so many stuff
in the world the ms of it
the truth of it is always the lacus of
it that's the emphasis of it
you have parts of it that are not ms the
delusions
and the truth is the fact that there are
delusions also comes from hashem's emas
because every nukuda needs an ms to it
the famous expression of ghazal leg
sheker enlightened even rashi brings in
that even the greatest lie
it needs a kernel of truth in it to
sustain it
we all know the great lawyers no you
have to throw an episode
ms rashid says that's why the spa is the
miraculous
they have to put in some truth rashi
says this empire
because a lie on its own can't stand
where does this come from where does
this come from
there was the big terror hyehudum the
arch enemy one of the greatest
or the greatest evil man in history said
i don't want to quote him now in the
morning so early in the morning
but he said that uh you tell people a
small lie
they won't believe you you tell them a
big lie
a crazy lie they'll believe you they'll
believe you because
how could you say such a lie that could
come
from tachelos a clipper because it's
it's the biggest lie in the world
and still and still episode
ms that has to be there some truth
distorted manipulated exaggerated
dramatized used in your own
for your own benefits and your own lies
but something is there
what's the nakuda of this the nakuda of
this is
spiritually speaking because everything
has to have a clear select key
in other words everything has to have an
ms
if there's no ms in it it couldn't be
even the delusion couldn't be
this is a very very important idea so
therefore
it comes out in our world that even the
greatest lie
it needs some truth and that's the truth
that's actually responsible for it
that's the truth that gives legitimacy
and life
and authenticity so-called authenticity
to the rest of the lie so
even clipper has achieved but what's
missing what's missing is the beetle of
elect the bitter telecast
in a person my own life when i'm
experiencing all that pressure all that
anxiety all that stress all that fear
all that trauma all that insecurity all
that greed all that selfishness all that
envy
all that frustration all that depression
and melancholy
whatever the message is it's early in
the mornings i don't want to put in so
many messages into your head
alternate has a my mind that early in
the morning naturally a person is happy
because you're in touch with your
essence and then later the ego starts
growing
he says but in early in the morning a
person wakes up without any other
khabarines
you're naturally happy that's the maya
from the balatanya we have to learn it
one day
this is all before in lyajna where he
lived without there were no iphones
for whatever reason the iphones didn't
arrive there so he by him waking up in
the morning was you wake up in the
morning you say my da'ani
wash your hands you get out of bed today
waking up in the morning means checking
your emails
and your texts and your what's up i
don't know if that principle of the
rebel is so applicable but when a person
is in touch with this bit lifts a whole
different life but clip
is not in touch with this bittle clip it
doesn't shed all these layers clipper
stays its remains and anxiety remains in
the stress it remains in the negativity
remains in the toxicity
i the toxicity itself is coming from
somewhere
and by the way here you see the
principles that later would become so
popular in psychoanalysis
that every thought has a source
and when you go down to the ultimate
source you may find
gems of wisdom and you may also find
beautiful gems spiritually speaking
we're learning here that e
every clipper has a key but the clipper
doesn't identify with it on the contrary
it's alienated from it so my stress and
anxiety itself are being animated
by the energy of the ribonucleolum
however the tragic thing is
instead of opening myself up to that
energy
and allowing myself to become a conduit
what happens
i use that energy itself to block that
energy for myself
so now i am just in a very different
space
in a space of separateness in a space of
complete control
in a space of anxious of of anxio
of anxiety of anxious of being anxious
so therefore what happens
so he says
not only are they not bottle melee
you're not
so therefore they could never be
intrinsically alive
the divine energy which divine energy is
alive it's the source of life
it cannot affect them that they should
assume
this state of reality where they become
intrinsically alive they're always
ultimately consciously or subconsciously
experiencing the void of life
they're experiencing the pain of not
being alive
they need the numbness in order to avoid
this deep cavity this deep emptiness
that comes from the fact
that i think i exist i
crave to exist but i don't really exist
my existence is always a borrowed
existence it's always a
show it's always fake it's always
theat theater it's theatrical
it's not real it's not authentic the
clothes
have no emperor and if you remove the
clothes which is called clipper
what are you gonna be left with
nothingness
if you take the needle and you puncture
me all the way to the quarry what are
you gonna find
you're gonna find death that's the
greatest fear of clipper that's the
greatest anxiety of clipper
and this anxiety does not leave it it's
incessant
and because of that it will do anything
to get a drink
it's like that alcoholic who will do
anything to get a drink
or it's like the heroin addict who will
do anything
to shoot himself to take a shot
sadly anything he'll sell his car he'll
sell his house
he'll sell his clothes he'll sell his
family he'll sell himself
he'll sell his god why in this moment
there's nothing else
there's just the need for this stimuli
for this stimulus
for this stimulator who will help me
survive who will give me the
the oxygen i need there's absolutely
nothing else it's like when a person is
angry you know when you're overtaken by
anger there's nothing else at this
moment
everything else shuts down so the whole
system shuts down
because i am now abducted by this very
powerful force and there's literally
nothing else
clipper therefore has this experience
this obsession that it needs frius
and it will do anything like we learned
before why they ate sahara so obsessed
to make a person's sin you remember
earlier in the mimer a few classes ago
it's all one kuda it's not there's no
kim
atsumi there's no essential life when
you shed all the layers there's no
essential life i am not the one with the
source of life
and that's why it's also a source of
misery it's a source of agony
and i always need another distraction in
order to be able to take me away from
that pain
and from that agony and be able to feel
that i am alive
anything to make me feel that i'm alive
like i read yesterday the letter from
one of the participants in our class
even if it's short-lived
even though i know it's short-lived but
so what for 10 minutes my taste buds
will feel that they're alive for 10
minutes
my heart will supposedly be smiling for
10 minutes the chemicals in my brain
will be unleash those chemicals that can
give me some
feeling of joy what is it all based on
there's no kim atsumi there's no
essential life
there's no intrinsic existence
but you're telling me that god is
animating them so they are alive
he says but because they're not bottle
they have no relationship with godly
energy that's the difference of course
they have godly energy but they have no
relationship with it
and the language of the mimer the he is
what does makeup mean mark if we learn
many times literally means there is
market and there's ponemy right makif is
it encompasses
the the word literally means it
surrounds and pinemi means it goes
inside
penemius it's internalized what is but
this is code language what does makif
mean makkaf doesn't mean that the godly
energy is going around and around making
a cuff is around you
the sun rotating around the earth
or the earth rotating around the sun
different perspectives
but makif means that something could be
inside of you
but you're not aware of it you don't
have a relationship with it
it's impacting you but you're not aware
of the impact and therefore you're not
open to it
you're not aligned with it there's
here's a key in clipper but it's a mark
of the quest
means it does not have a relationship
with the substance
with the self-conscious awareness of the
clipper
in terms of you would ask if you would
interview the clipper and you would ask
him who are you
his answer is not or her answer clip is
lash naked her answer is not
who am i i'm a conduit for divine
infinity
who am i i'm an ambassador of love
light hope healing truth
truth wisdom compassion authenticity
redemption that's who i am who
am i everything my whole energy my brain
my nerve cells my neurons all of my
cells my entire organism my mind my body
my soul my brain are all
conduits for the divine energy that
flows through it every single moment
and i am in a manifestation of god's
light and every one of us is a unique
manifestation
of their unique divine light which is
filtered through their unique vessel
you have your uh and your kali which is
all cayenne baking
atme but clipper doesn't identify itself
that way
it looks therefore for substitutes it
lives in a different place
that place could be anxiety that place
could be pleasure that place could be
arrogance that place could be in
security that place could be
greed envy depression or whatever it is
everyone according to their
space and their their challenges and
their issues at that moment
and the common denominator is there is a
lacuse but it's market
market again remember with the word
machif market means
it's inside of you but it's above you
above you means
it doesn't become part of who i am it
doesn't become part of the description
of my resume
when you ask kedusha to write a resume
a c via curriculum with hey what's the
cv of kadusha
see the cv of clip is
aniva observed i'm alone in the world if
i'm alone in the world it's a survival
battle
if it's a survival battle you got to
fight hard or you got to surrender heart
you got to
live you got to die hard so therefore it
could do
even though there's a salaki it's market
it doesn't describe it in terms of its
own definition
and therefore
you'll say what do you mean they have a
consciousness clip has a consciousness
and has a way of describing itself
that's also animated by god so that is
plymouth he says that's true but it's an
exile
the divine energy that is revealed is
market
it's above their consciousness and the
divine energy that is manifested in them
and fueling them
it constitutes the battery the engine of
their chemistry that's in dollars that's
an exile meaning
it's completely suppressed and exiled
and subjugated like when somebody's in
exile
they don't have the freedom to flex
their muscles they can't say what they
want they can't do what they want
they can't express themselves the way
they wish they can't go where they want
they're in exile meaning they are
at the mercy of the captors of those who
abducted them
so this is the tragedy of clipper it's
whole life is really godliness
and yet it's whole life it's busy
denying who it really is
you know that tragedy my whole life this
is really who i am and my whole life i'm
busy
running away from that and because i'm
running away from that i'm running away
from my ultimate
truth my ultimate destiny my ultimate
core and my ultimate source of life
i'm living in this strange identity
but somehow it makes sense in the world
of clip it makes sense because this is
what it is
so the shi is the key is there one is
makif which means it's completely not
conscious and that which is manifested
in the conscience of a clip is
completely in exile which means it's
divine energy being manipu allowing
itself to be manipulated
and abducted by the clipper to do its
own thing
mashem can be douche what's the
definition of kedusha
we usually translate as a holiness but
as i said yesterday which is not just
holiness versus unholiness we have to
tell what holiness means
we learn i say if it is holy yes sid is
holy our school is holy shabbos is only
holy what makes it holy holiness means
you're in touch with a certain dimension
of life
and a certain dimension of yourself
is the divine energy of not in exile
allah
furthermore it's not even bread of shame
there's an expression in your xiaomi
arla called
nama means bread kesufa means shame
bread of shame is the metaphor
that our sages used when describing free
lunch
when i give you something that you
completely did not deserve or earn
at some point it becomes humiliating and
embarrassing
as the missionary says in baba matsuya i
think adam writes
a fascinating mishna let's say
you give me a deposit of grain
a certain quantity of grain you're going
away
and you want me to keep it in my silo or
my storage house my cellar
so i take your grain the problem is
after a while
there is the elements of decomposition
which
causes the grain to diminish so the
question is do you sell it
and buy new and and give the person the
money
so the commissioner says adam writes
because
a person wants his own he wants
his one pound of grain more than nine
pounds of his friend because it's his
own
since he's the farmer he planted the
grain
and he nurtured it and he harvested it
and he winnowed it and he threshed it
etc it's his and even though
it's going to end up to be much less in
quantity
than what he buys by his friend but adam
writes it because
it's his it's your own and there's
something called your own that's just
your own
it's what socialism didn't know what
socialists and communists didn't
understand
this is not a bad thing it's part of the
fabric of human nature that the creator
embedded into our into our genetic code
adam wrote to because there's something
about nama the
silva bread of shame that i loathe i'm
ashamed about it
when i'm in touch with myself i'm
ashamed about it of course we all like
getting you know many of us like getting
gifts and it's one of the five languages
of love
and you should give your loved ones
gifts it's an amazing thing and a great
way of attachment
especially for certain individuals for
whom this is their
love language in the vocabulary of
recent years
but as a lifestyle something called
bread of shame bread of shame means
everything i have is free
i did not do anything for it so the
rabbit says not only is kedusha
not only is kedusha the the shio selaki
is not an exile
it's not even with bread of shame which
is irish and i'm sure
the gods light with god without work yes
because there's avoid involved kedusa
did something to generate this
consciousness gudusha did something
to be in touch with it there is a void
it's not even bread of shame it's not
like
kedusha in our world is just you know
god reveals himself and you're holy
that's not how it works
i have to dig i have to work through
this stuff
i got to excavate the anxiety and i have
to excavate the stress and i have to
excavate the fear and all the
issues and i have to find the depth
and i have to shed those layers and
there's avoid every single day
because at any point of the day i know
with myself and probably some of you can
relate to this
all these thoughts come right back in
and you need avoider once again
and sometimes it's not easy sometimes
you struggle and you struggle and you
struggle and it's not easy it
doesn't stop the clipper wants to take
over it wants you to be in its
own remember for it it's oxygen if it
has a person
always looking for your blood always
looking for your energy
for your mental space this is avoider so
not only does kadusha have the uh
it's also through avoider through the
void of beetle
when it comes to the other side clipper
represents that which is antithetical to
his will
he could clipper be is
to his will when it's being animated by
his will
because the energy is in exile and when
i'm in exile i may be serving my captor
against my will.
my demise so this sums up the question
why the ate sahara
is so obsessed to make you sin because
their entire energy
they receive through your through my
mistakes through my sins
when a jew
i go over from one domain to another
domain
i take my fields which is a lacus
and i bring it over to the realm of
clipper
shayfik madam i spill the blood of the
adam of kadusa
this is where klippe suddenly feels that
it's alive
and that's why by the way as it says in
tanya igera satchuva
paydick what is it i think pedagogue he
says and that's why
nautil khalid beresh the sinner is going
to get the
first portion of the birthday cake
he's going to get the first steak that
comes off the barbecue
the clipper knows that you are the chief
provider
and therefore for the time being you're
going to be treated amazingly
you're going to be treated amazingly
because he knows he wants you know like
in las vegas
when you go to gamble and they identify
that here is a good guy
to invest in right they have limousines
bringing you to your hotel suddenly
they're paying for your hotel room
suddenly there's wine coming to your
room
suddenly in the middle of the year you
get a free ticket
to come to nevada why and you suddenly
feel like
you know that they do this
their experience i lure you in
it's only one reason because you're a
smarter
because you don't own yourself because
they own you of course if they treat you
nicely
you'll be coming there and giving them
their money what happens when you lose
all your money and you go broke
no limousines will show up in your home
anymore no free tickets to las vegas now
they don't need you anymore
they're bloodsuckers they're piafkas
a blood sucker i suck and suck and suck
your blood that's the nakuda of this
mimer
mother i want your blood i'm not alive i
need you for my life
now you're you think that clip is giving
you life you're giving clip a life this
is the very fascinating paradox
we think clip is giving us life because
it's a fast
you know it's a fast high we're giving
it life
they want us more than we as much as we
want it
i want the clipper why do i want the
clipper because there's something very
tempting about it there's something very
easy about it
there's something very fast about it
there's something very superficial about
it it doesn't need avoid
it doesn't need bittle there's something
very
smack superficially about it so i run to
it
really it runs to me and that
becomes lethal i think i want it because
it's easy it wants me and it'll do
anything to get me and therefore it
makes it so tempting and so
schmuck and so delicious because i
myself would not find it so delicious
but the clipper makes it
what do they say it makes you an offer
that you can't refuse
and then before i know it i'm giving
them all my money and my blood and my
mental space and my energy and when i
say them i don't mean them
out there in las vegas i'm just giving a
metaphor that them could be inside of me
but clip is the reality it's the
substitute for the real reality of
kedush of animal
so therefore the my sachet is what feeds
them this is their blood
the more i sinned the more blood they
have the more energy they have that's
very exciting
but at some point you're left cold and
dry
as they say you left out they leave you
out to hang
dry why i took you
once i take the blood i don't need you
anymore now you're a shema
i never needed you i never liked you i
needed you i needed you for what you
have for the cash
the moment i depleted you hey
we don't need you we go to the next
once your poverty's stricken once you've
got nothing left clip is not excited
anymore that's what you see also with
addicts constantly
in the beginning you know there's this
uh this drive this addiction
you're even using your imagination your
creativity and then at some point
they took everything out of you now your
brain is fried you're a dead man walking
there's nothing left
your blood was spilled but i don't want
to make this only about these you know
grand addicts
because most of us say that's not me
even though we have some of those too
but let's not divorce this from the
regular human experience even those of
us who don't
gamble in las vegas and those of us who
are not alcoholics but hashem and those
of us who are not
other types of addicts but we all have
our addictions
we all have our obsessions we all have
our fears we all have our sources of
anxiety and we all have our clippism
which we run away to
and i have to be able to identify it and
know
how much the clipper wants that aveda
because the moment i go there
he could feel that he's alive now i want
to point out one very important thing
if you notice that this mimer talks a
lot about avedas
it talks a lot about clipper right
not no kidding right it talks a lot
about schwitz is dumb
it talks a lot about going from the
domain of kadusha into the domain of
opposite of
talks a lot about the eight zohara but
you see the language
in which it talks about all these things
and this is important to identify the
distinction between the language of
musa classic musa and the language of
siddhis of teresa
when you learn this mimer you you
appreciate
at least somewhat the difference of a
mitzvah
the difference of kadusha and but look
how the messages are being conveyed
one directive conveying it which was a
derek yiddish guy
and they had great daily israel
that taught this way there's a lot of
a lot of rebuke that's the word muslim
muslim means rebuke
and there's a big focus on punishments
and a big focus on the
evil and the negativity and the
consequences
that's the derek of musser and a
tremendous focus
on the disgusting elements and muster
itself
there's a lot of different branches and
different
bhatte medrussim different balamus and
how they communicate and how they spoke
but there's a certain common denominator
in all the branches of musser
which makes them musa in siddhis
you have this mimer it also brings out
very strongly
maybe stronger than any other source
the toxicity of an aveda
but look at the context of how it's
brought out
the big focus of the bolshemitiv and her
students and the balatanya and his
students etc
all the way to our generation was always
to bring out the anoid mulvader of the
world
in other words we don't focus on the
clipper we focus on
that clip is concealing the truth of
ain't moving
so the focus is not you're so bad
and you have degraded yourself and
you're like a behemoth and you're worse
like a
than a bahama you're irresponsible
you're
lazy you have become a hefca young
you allowed your brute-based instincts
to take you over and the results of that
are catastrophic
not even another approach there was
another approach in musser
to talk about the potential of man
you have different branches of muslims
ultimately rabisol salanta was the
founder of muslim but i'm talking about
even muslims from previous generations
from the number from russian you have
suffered moser many of you learned
sharia truth
of course masilla susharim from the ram
who passed away in the 1740s from a
pandemic
in tiberius and tavaria he and his whole
family
wrote many song called
you have of course the classic one of
the oldest
so generally and many other muslim
smarter especially in later generations
to be so solant and the students are
israel and all of his students
so some of them focused a lot on the
negativity of the ra
on the shri the fight durban kai the
corruption of bad middles and so forth
others focused on
god was adam you're a mensch you have a
tsurus adam
ramirez shapiros mighty soul would
always talk about
suras adam
he once told me
he was sitting by my lover malcolm's a
few months before he passed away
here in muncie came for treatments to
new york
it's right before rosh hashanah he
passed away that year great motion
shapiro
for me to show one of the daily ballet
in the literature world
he was a big isaac and kabbalah
and it was a big gone so uh
so somebody mentioned that someone
mentioned the altar
so maisha said a bishop said i was there
i heard this in his mouth
he said ah if he was only alive
yeah so he said
i would strip all my clothes in the
market or knuckle off in them
and i would run after them in other
words whatever it would take even if i
would
be denigrated and embarrassed
sai said favors so he looked at me with
two eyes like perplexed by the question
says favors
build take a look at the picture of the
balatanya the painting it's not a
picture of the painting of the balatanya
by the way that painting was made when
he was in prison
so i played dumb i said what's that
build
what do you see what do you see in the
picture
like that's that's you know inspiring
such a uh
sense of surrender and selflessness and
and
my shabir wasn't a husset he wasn't
he wasn't he came from the aristocracy
of the
of the lithuanian world he was a talmud
of
eliyahu desola the myth of melio he was
a student of rabits
from slobodkin his father
he told me then learned by the alta from
slobodkin the chevron yeshiva in the
1920s
he wasn't from the school of siddhas
so he i said what do you see in the
painting i wanted nobody
it's not like you know this is your
culture this is the party line this is
what your father taught
so he says he gives a scream he says
exactly the suit of a person
exactly it's a very beautiful way of
saying it
in other words this
is spilling the blood of an adam into
another adam
into a behemoth
so that's a big focus suras adam you
know be an adam be
be a full adam
in siddhis
we have very strong messages here about
the contrast of cliff pangdusha but what
what is it in a context of
the context is always anointed
the context the context is
that the divine is oneness and
one every moment can live in oneness
because that's where they're really
living
so an avery clipper is not just a
betrayal
of what god wants obviously that it's
not just
the consequences are going to be
horrible and the punishments are
horrible and
it's it's uh it's uh it's false and it's
a lie
and it's not even you're betraying your
potential
all that is true
the focus here is the achtus hashem
the oneness of velukus the ms of
infinity
that vibrates through every single cell
and every single molecule and every
single
atom and every single subatomic particle
what vibrates through it is enorde the
harmony of oneness
through the smallest thing in the world
and the biggest and they're all
ultimately one
and kedusha means being aligned with
that
and clipper means going out of that uni
unity extricating myself from that unity
going into a world that doesn't really
exist
and when you go into a world that
doesn't really exist it's very painful
because you have to make believe it
exists
because i want to live and when i have
to make believe that something exists
when it doesn't exist
it's very painful first of all it takes
so much energy
i have to exert myself so much it takes
so much mental space
because when i'm living in a world that
doesn't exist but i have to convince
myself that it exists
you know how much binging that takes
that's the secret of all addiction
that's the secret of typhus
i'm trying to make a world that doesn't
really exist exist
that's very tough that's very hard
and somehow the game works and then they
see the jew
the non-jew the anti-semite sees the jew
and the jew exposes that game just by
the nature of him being a jew
so there's a lot of hatred there this
goes back to what we discussed yesterday
about mitsi use museum half liver fellow
kedusha i don't have to make believe
anything i don't have to go live in a
world that doesn't really exist and make
believe it exists
i don't have to make belief it exists i
just have to become part of the flow
now it's so funny it sounds so easy and
yet klippe makes it hard
really kadush is the easiest thing
bitter is natural bittle is the
bittle is hard no yeshua's heart
yeshua's is carrying the unbearable
burden that i have to exist
oh yeah you have to exist oh my god
that's hard
you have to make your own existence
existentialism
version 2.0 of clip existentialism
i have to turn my existence into
something
in kedusha i don't have that burden i
don't have to exist
i can let god exist and become part of
his existence
paradoxically then i could exist then i
exist kiyomatsumi
then i can exist that's the one of the
big tradition here of this moment is
when i let go of my existence i can
start existing
when i cease to exist meaning when i
allow myself to be a conduit for the
infinity of hashem
then paradoxically my existence becomes
as real and as authentic and as
deep and as eternal and as timeless and
as substantial
as can be as hashem himself
my existence comes from my own reality
which klippe can never say that
your existence comes from your own
reality we only say that about hashem
himself
his mathias comes from his atsumos
everything else in the world
comes because someone wanted it to be
here
i'm here today because my mother and
father chose to bring me to the world
they are here today because their
parents chose and their parents chose
etc
whether it was a choice whether it just
happens that way but the point is
somebody has to be the cause the apple
tree is here because of the seed
that came from a previous apple tree
everything in our world has an
antecedent it has an
e-law cause and that cause also has a
cause and also has a cause and also
until you go back to the first ultimate
cause
your reality doesn't come from yourself
you're not justified by your own
existence you're justified by another
existence and therefore there's always a
vulnerability here
the kiddish of this mimer is that iris
and caleb and the shamas israel because
of the bittle
and because of the yikko to the anxiety
uh as he put it earlier in the previous
paragraph
that met the bittle of the jewish soul
to hashems
because of it because it sheds and it
removes from itself the burden of
existence
paradoxically it becomes the most real
existence
its um now comes from its own atmos
which is the strongest form of existence
that the i
becomes truly truly alive it's not
living in a world which doesn't really
exist
it's living in a place that really
exists because it really really exists
so bittel makes life not just
easier but also powerful it gives it a
potency
that is rooted in eternity and
timelessness
they tell em isa that happened in the
city of lubavich in belarus
in the times of the rebel ashab the
fifth labacher reber of shalom dave bear
we learned
my movie a diet of his last year or two
years ago were last year
via died to moscow you remember this
it's now his hundredth anniversary of
the yard site 1920 2020 tough rich
payton shin pay
passed away bayes nissan and stuff i was
actually supposed to go there we sent
out an email some cover were coming but
then karona karona emerged and that was
the end of that
so in any case there was one sarcasm
and after the after the the higher the
high the holy days
he asked the rebel chief of the fifth of
july but how he enjoyed
his cantorial melodies
so the devil says to him
it's fine but it wasn't like the other
bald filler
it wasn't like the other baltimore the
other person or david's another year
i don't know that person was uh passed
away or went somewhere else
so he says
we could feel his his structures his
connection his
his emotion at gevint he cried
so he tells the ability i also wept
so the never said that's true you also
wept but it's interesting
the two of you wept in different places
now this is going to be very deep
i'm telling you you wept
by the words adam yes
remember those words that's the end of
an asana taketh
a person comes from the earth he goes
back to the earth
he'll sacrifice his life to make another
buck and get some bread
he's like a clay vessel that is broken
a withering blade of grass
fleeting dust and
a fleeting dream that's where you wept
adam you say them ever say for love he
says the other one
he wept by the words
that's where he wept may you
reign alone over the whole world
and he was telling him something the way
i understand it very profound
adam he said the for a lot
for it is true
a person comes from the earth and
returns to the earth after out of allah
for
but what do we say after that in the
next paragraph
you know the moderates in march
this is the march of inkitsville the
emergency river
so most people read it a person goes to
the earth
you're a fleeting dream china
you god you're melancholic you're the
living king you don't die in kids
you're not going to die we're mortal and
you're not immortal
but the last words of that period are
ushmenu
our name you called out with your name
adam you say they may offer versailles
for if the
adam is on his own
you are eternal and i'm part of you
if i'm part of you and it's a whole
different adam
other madame yeon if
atom killed him and you're part of the
mele
you're not separate evid the gomorrah
says in schwarz
the servant of the king is the king.
the shliyak represents the one who sends
him so you're part of the melaka
kayam so you're also alive bikium at me
you have an intrinsic life
let me take some questions let's take
some questions
and uh 10 o'clock we have a sheer rambam
hill
toyota chapter two yesterday we started
chapter one if you haven't had a chance
try to do the replay um
and today we're going to continually
nether with chapter two of you say the
atari
10 o'clock am that's very soon that's an
hour and a half
that's number one number two the next
year in
siddhas will be uh
sunday morning sunday morning eight
o'clock
sunday morning eight o'clock not 7 30 8
o'clock and then 10 o'clock sunday
morning we'll also have our rambam class
we're gonna learn the next chapter
let's uh let's go to some questions the
first question
what's the connection of all of this to
the parsha the
older the parasha is you remember
running away
you have to the first shade of the miami
running away to the cities of refuge
when you murder somebody and the major
says
hashem said you're going to die but
instead of dying what happened
he expelled him from ganaden and he went
to the city of refuge
so the question of the miami was what's
the connection eating from the fruit is
not killing somebody
and besides the fact he ate from the
fruit willingly not unwillingly
and you only get gullus if you did it
unwillingly there willingly
so we already have the first answer now
that eating from the eight zadas
is the source of all shedding blood to
shedding blood physically and
is shedding the cosmic blood that was
the first explanation we still have to
get to the other explanation blinder
we'll see soon at the end of the mimer
the next year the mimer
you don't want to miss if i may say so
because the next part of the mimer is
going to watch the wires the next part
of the mimer
is going to get down to the core of
clipper
since we haven't had enough in the
siddhis
especially in the khabar there's always
a layer and a deeper layer and a deeper
and deeper layer
there's ultimately the great paradox how
can clipper live where does it live from
ultimately we explain god is in gallows
and it's market and it's not ponemian
alzgotenge schmuck but
what is really clipper about the real
core of it that's going to be the next
part of the miami
half liver fella has beer about the
essence of klippe
it's based on uh on a sister from
terrorist shalom from the rabbit
shop okay that's going to be beijing
hashem sunday morning at 8 o'clock
so again before i take questions today
at 10 we have our share rambam
sunday morning at eight we're going to
continue the mimer sunday morning at 10
we will have our rambam class and monday
regular schedule 7 30
and 10. let's go to uh
let's start with the chats
okay the chat says good morning and i
say to you back good morning
let's now go to the yeshiva.net and take
the questions
[Music]
in today's world in modern psychology
there's a lot of talk about staying
positive
and how to do it positive self-talk has
become a popular way to help people stay
positive people are told that when
negative events or mistakes happen
because they're bound to happen you
should have an internal dialogue
positive self-talk isn't necessarily
about knowing all the answers or
thinking that you're amazing and great
it's about reframing how you view things
removing negative bias
approaching life with the idea that you
can tackle things
god gave us free choice and the ability
to tackle things he's with us all the
time
and even if the positive self-talk
doesn't go perfectly
we can learn from it for next time
it's interesting to me that these ideas
and insights were around many years ago
before modern psychology
specifically in these writings of the
hasidic works
and the tanya daltraba writes about them
he shows us tools to rid ourselves of
negative emotions
not only in a spiritual way but in a
very practical way the saying that comes
to mind is think good and it will be
good such a great example of positive
self
talk so we do have the tools of the
jewish tradition
to transcend our fears anxieties and get
to a state of bitter
we have to use them we have to use them
but it's easier said
easier said and done to experience bitla
have to discard fears anxiety stresses
addictions be aligned with god to live a
true and meaningful life
beautiful remember internalize that each
of us is part of god he is part of us
this is the ultimate goal it's easier to
do
if we can learn how to get there for
others it's so difficult and challenging
somebody recommended yesterday staying
positive
but it's easier for some than others
iron suggested jumping in the lake good
idea i'm thinking of doing that
byron you see i'm thinking of doing that
um somebody else suggested
in one of the in one of the comments
asking god what he wants me to do
today this is a great beginning for
every single day
beautiful beautiful okay yup shalom
what we're learning here is that clip is
a double-edged sword
it can bring you up to the highest
places we can't even imagine how high
yes and god forbid it can bring you down
to the lowest of the abyss
are we understanding that this is the
good life and the ultimate work
of kadusa is the pain in this work well
worth it
well the point is that when we live in
the world of clipper it will give us a
high
because it it wants to suck my blood i'm
telling you it's the las vegas gambler i
will give you free tickets
i will give you a private plane and
bring you from your house in muncie
to las vegas direct why pause it
it's worth it for me to spend the 35
thousand dollars of the 40
000 on the private journey knowing that
i'm going to get from you five hundred
thousand dollars was atmer
this is what investors do all the time
so i will
give you a life of luxury and highs i'll
give you highs non-end
and that's where i get your blood but at
the end i'm really a smarter because
there's no
caring for you it's just the clipper
wants to feed itself it's the ultimate
narcissism
and that's what the person has to know
that living a life of kadusha means
living in a place of truth
of compassion for yourself and for
others it's a place of ms of
authenticity
i understand you spoke about two streams
in judaism
muslim versus siddhis
are they in disagreement does each
perspective thinks that they got it
right
and i'm upset about this everybody
thinks they're 100
right i get upset with fear and
punishment
approach and yet those there are those
who truly believe it
and they get upset with me for the love
approach how can we reconcile we're all
jews aren't we
and these differences continue to cause
major rifts
it's a it's it's it's a very good point
but there's really no rift here
a louis vuitton
is very diversified and there's a lot of
approaches in different areas
and there were great early israel holy
jews who practiced and and taught this
way of moosa
the baal shem tov felt that in our
generations
the approach of siddhis will be far more
effective
and i think we can all attest to that
that if i could speak to a group of
teenagers or young adults
girls or boys whatever it is and i could
give them a message and tell them
that if they don't do this they don't do
this they don't do this there's going to
be a lot of punishment
or i can give them a message of how
divine
they are and how holy they are which one
do you think is going to be more
effective
so from my experience over the years and
i think i've had some
level of some significant experience in
terms of communicating with people
individually and collectively
i see at least in our generations it's a
completely different world
in the sense of this approach and that
approach is a completely different
universe
in one i maybe will get a few people but
i think i would lose the majority of
people
and even those that i get it could be
very superficial
and others the other approach i think
the approach of the ball shemtiv is far
more penetrating and far more effective
it's also far more positive and
i think it also touches a deeper layer
of reality
because it doesn't only talk about you
do this and there's a consequence it
really talks about the essential picture
of yiddish
so that's why i think in terms of
communication it's far more effective
but there is another approach
and for some people perhaps it's very
very powerful
and there's no need to disrespect it's
one god and one tata
there's different streams
and that's fine i think that siddhis
reveals the premieres of moosa also so
not only don't i see it as a competition
i see it really ultimately not even as
two streams
it may be two streams in the
manifestation but ultimately it's one
torah
in other words if you want to get down
to the core core core of moosa
you'll have to go to siddhas to teresa
of
that's how i see it
and uh have a beautiful beautiful day
and an inspiring day we'll see you soon
10 o'clock zeitgeist
