Kabbalistic Concepts Ups & Downs Means It's ALIVE!

Uh okay we were discussing the partsim we mentioned a little bit of the idea behind the partsim and before we got into over detail about them I just gave an overview of what they are meaning that there was a kaleim there was a breaking of the spirat that broke because of the abundance of light as a result of that there needed to be a repair by making a new assessment of the situation and that was that they took the spirat And they put it into a matka which is a perfect setting of a of a right, left and center where it was all set up very uh nicely. I don't did I bring it this time somewhat. Yeah, this is this is the madala. Yeah, this is the madula over here where it's set up very nicely. There's a top, right, and bottom similar to the human body. When you have it like this, then it's able together when they all work together to be able to hold up all the ore. That's what we mentioned in the past shar the past two three shar we mentioned wide stafa five we spoke about the number five a b we mentioned the arv of what we call the golin that one transfers to the next one gives and takes back and forth to the next the importance of that feature and when you do that instead of taking all the light to yourself you also give over to the one next to you and by doing that you become an and that's how you're able to hold up the light. That's how the tikun works and that's how it really should be before. So we asked already in the last year we mentioned it's a little bit contradictory because in our we live in the most hedonistic society that's walked the planet. All we care about is ourselves. We're very selfish people and as I work but the answer is on the contrary because of the power of the global village that we live in the power of technology has made the world very small very oneness and therefore everything is kind of connected it's m like the matka it's very similar to a where everybody lives in their own country you have over here on the opposite end of the world but they're connected everything is not far away no matter how far we are we're actually very close one to the next. We never feel a distance because there's so many ways to be in touch with people and through zoom and through WhatsApps and besides that all the other different ways. So it really is the beginning to the process of doing it. Let's say another nuca that we mentioned also is that the parts have a smaller and then a bigger perspective meaning you could see an eyeball as part of a face or you could see the eyeball as having a retina cornea optic nerve in this you could see it in both directions as a prat as an individual or as part of a hole it's just a little piece and a bigger thing that's really what the partsim are they take which looked as individuals they looked they we thought that they Like we looked at one individual like that's it. There's nothing else. And now we see it as one part of a big as part of a big uh picture. We see it as part of a big uh one big uh field together. One what system? One big system together. And that's how it works. That's it. Now there was one last harv which I wanted to mention. We mentioned these in during the winter shar and in the summer shar I just wanted to mention we didn't mention on camera and I'm going to expand on this because this has a lot of meaning. It's actually connected to the para so far. I think every time we've connected it to the para and this one's also very connected and that is the biggest of everything that we get from this is a tikun for the meaning there was a breaking of the utensils of the vessels and don't think shocks wow what a shame it broke oh what a there was a war a holocaust what a kaval there was on October 7th by accident it just would happens no it's all part of the stages of the bri and we'll explain why but the part of reaching perfection occurs dapka specifically when it comes from a break and a recap a break and we're fixing it up that's how the system works it comes from such a place everyone is familiar with the mid that actually says that is before created the world he created and destroyed created, exploded, created, exploded. Something that we're somewhat familiar with. Hashem created the world in such a fashion. And that seems to be part of the system. Meaning having a mistake, having a fall, having a disappointment is not something that happens. Now we have to fix it up. No, part of the system is you know like the lines that you see by a earthquake or when you see in a hospital, right? You'll see the up ups and down lines. Is there a name for that machine? No. No. The something dialysis. No, no, it has a name >> system EKG also. That's also true, right? For the heart cuz the heart also pumps, right? Okay. Okay. That graph thing that goes up and down is all part of the system. The monitoring, right? The monitor that you have in the hospital. So, that thing automatically goes up and down when it's a straight line. That's not a good sign, right? That's not something that we're looking for. We're looking at for it to go up and down, up and down, up and down because it's part of the system and part of the world the way it was made with is that type of thing. There is a building and there's a destruction and that destruction is the beginning of the rebuilding. That's what happened by the kaleim. There was a tremendous amount of ore light which sounds great but the caim the utensils weren't able to handle it. It came too easy. It came for free. So it needs to break and we need to rebuild it by making the partsim which we were discussing the partsim are the reconstruction of that destruction and we are the ones to do it that's why we are we are the ones who become part of say that we are the ones who go ahead and reconstruct it with our capabilities of fixing things up. So the destruction is part of what it's supposed to be about. It has a purpose. It's not halfhazard. Everything that gets destroyed is there to reach rock bottom to fall in order to pick ourselves up. You should know that is alis many of the behind the safer of that's the meaning of the safer of which was the man who was very successful and a big sadic and at the same time he had a massive fall losing his kids almost losing his life and everything around him all his pornasa all of that is aim where it was meant to be only so that afterwards as the as the safer ends he ended up getting much more than he had before you end up getting much more than before. That's the meaning behind the um the idea of the a very simple example and I'm going to give you a bunch of examples now but a very simple example of this idea which we should be familiar with is of course the midl themed says that a child learns everything when he's in the embryo when he's in in when he's when a woman is pregnant. So he is learning the whole entire Torah. He knows the whole entire Torah. This embryo is [clears throat] capable of understanding everything. Very nice. And then what happens? He comes out. He gets smacked and suddenly forgets everything. Like what did that do for me? That's only disappointment. No, that's only frustrating. That's only irritating. What? I didn't need that. Just leave him not to have anything in the first place and finished. Why are you giving him this whole shebang? But the same thing it's known as the he has light. It came for free. It came as what we call or it came without any type of earning. He had it. Wow. What a power. And then in the end of the day there was a shira. There was a breakage. It was a destruction that removed it from him. In order that for the next 80 90 years of his life he has to reconstruct what got lost. When you had the light and you lost it, as we understand, it's much easier to come back to it or you feel a drive to come back to it because I had it and I want it back as opposed to never having it. And that really is the seminal this idea of the kaleim that happens also by this embryo by this child of what occurs. You got it? That's this uh I'm going to give you now four or five examples of this concept. >> [clears throat] >> Okay. Everything works always by needing a perfect balance. Okay. If you have too much of anything to the side of it's too much. It's not going to last. You always have to have a tera to the middle. You always have to have the balance that gets you in the middle in order that everything should stay contained inside of it. Uh what [clears throat] happens is if a person receives too much light and you are very fragile so to speak. Why you fragile? Because you receiving something you don't deserve. Maybe you didn't deserve to get to such a level. You got it and it was above you. So the fact it was above you makes you not able to hold on to it and you can lose it. What we know is the sh that's what the is. But your job is to bring it back afterwards. What's the purpose of this? Now, this is a very important point. Listen to this. The important point is is yes, there was a breaking of the utensils. It broke and you're bringing it back. But by you bringing it back, you are making it custommade. You follow what I'm saying? Instead of just it giving to you like I give you something, I don't know what you need, right? You need a present. So, I go and I buy you something. I never know exactly what you need or how much you need and I just give it to you. Sometimes it fits, sometimes it doesn't. People give us presents and they give us some nice big crystal thing. Now, I know my wife never used it. She doesn't know where to put it. She doesn't know what to happen. So, whatever we try to say, we take it as a nice present, but the people don't really know. So, by accident, I remember it happened with a with a flower vase. We don't even have flowers. We already have one or two vases and and we don't do flowers. We do like the uh fake flowers, not the real ones cuz her husband's cheap. But anyways, no, that's not why she doesn't like it. But anyways, so so we got it and my wife didn't know cuz it's one of these like fat things that takes up so much space. I remember one of the kids opened the thing and it was and broke and they were like [clears throat] and my wife was like, "Oh, she was so happy it broke." Like she would never throw it away. But now that it broke, she was so happy that it happened. When people give you things, they don't always know what you want. If if you want to give me something, just say call. We'll tell you what we need when you Right. They don't. It was very funny cuz my two daughter-in-laws uh recently gave us something. I can't remember. I think it was for my anniversary or something. They were doing and they gave us big juke what we needed cuz they know they're there all the time. So they knew what we're missing. We're missing this. Very. So when you reconstruct the wreckage, when you bring back the falteration that what occurred, suddenly you know how much light, how much you can handle, what you can do. And it becomes custommade. It becomes to what you need. That is the behind this breaks them. So we have to break and come back and fix and fix and fix come back and do it until it's mim for us. You don't realize how this theme takes us everywhere. It could teach you so many things. I'll give you a few examples. The most obvious one is the of Aahav. Okay. When did that happen? No coincidence. The media is very disappointing. But right after matanra, everyone's like, "Oh, you couldn't find a better time. You just received the Torah. We're on the highest like you can't be serious. What happened over here? How did you egg? Come on. I would never have done it. I would I would be clean. How could you do such a thing?" But the answer is it's da because of the first that we received were in such a high level. the amount of ore we were kim we were vessels that were not befitting we weren't holding on the level of holding on to such a Torah it was written by it was directly a type of Torah which we'll never forget everything was written completely straight from so that high extreme level that we were on we weren't holding there we the glass was too thin and therefore it exploded it was too much for for us to handle. And that's why that's what that's what occurred afterwards um with that it happened that it happened afterwards and our job afterwards was to go ahead and rebuild it to rebuild it that same status to get it back to where we can get back to that original stage. We have to go ahead and as we know Rashi brings down every generation still is being slowly slowly slowly I'm sorry of slowly slowly slowly because that's our job that's our it was too much for us it was a and here we are bringing back together in the formation of part of course this goes tentamount with the idea of the loot the First were broken. Okay, you did an ago, but raenu noim, you had to start throwing things. What's all the melo melodramatic uh episode here? Makes for a good movie. Mama, I don't know if you put one up on that. I'm saying it's good, but like why did he have to go ahead and start throwing them? But the answer is a he realized that the ore was too great for us. It wasn't capable. These loot are not going to make it by us. We weren't holding on the level. Moshe was holding on the level. for Moshe would have been perfect. Mashia would be here. He'd be in a perfect place. He got himself to the stage of we not knew we were not there. And therefore the had to be broken. They had to be broken. It goes tentamental to the idea. The second were custommade for us. How do I know that they're custom made? Cuz they were made by man. They were man-made in order for it to be okay. Okay. Yeah. It was man-made in order to be to be able to take care of the the situation. That is a very important uh point. Yeah. Okay. Let me give you another example. Those were two points. I mean I gave you so far I spoke about the embryo in the stomach. I spoke of the egg and I spoke about the bre. Okay. Let me try one more that's brought in the leash. The leash is an unbelievable safer, the grandfather of the uh revel. I wouldn't mind doing it once together. It's a beautiful safer because he takes beautiful ideas from Kabala and he brings it down to earth. And anyways, one of the things he says is something you've never heard before. Listen to this. He talks about the doorbar, the da midbar, the the door of the the generation of of the what? >> Exodus of Yeah. Okay, fine. Dor midbar. If we'll leave it. Okay. the midbar and he says that they passed 10 tests. We're all familiar they went not that they they didn't pass they went they they tested Hashem 10 times that there were we're familiar with with all the issues that they did at the time of the maleim may Mariva I think we're quite familiar there are 10 different events that occurred during the this encompass a big amount of the kumsh what does it mean how could they do that now the dora were on a very high level there's a big dispute about how bad they were they were good not good there's about it I'm not going into that but basically we know more or less that the say that the door were in a very high level there were say checked all the nations all the world and he didn't find a more befitting fit that should deserve to receive the Torah more than the dorham the door midbar is deserve to have the Torah meaning we're good. We're good. They're good people. Stop being so tough on us. We're good. So why are they testing Hashem 10 times or what's wrong? I thought you had sadikim. What were you doing? Listen to this incredible. The answer is that they weren't testing Hashem. They were testing themselves. They thought that we don't deserve to have all the ore and shea they were receiving, which is kind of true. They were getting mud falling from the sky. They were getting clouds all over the place. They were having water flying from here. They were having no, you know, all no mountains of the thing. A tremendous amount of miracles that they were surrounded by for 40 years. And they weren't sure. They kept wondering, do we really deserve this? Is this a freebie? This seems to be something that we're not holding on. The ore is much more than the cle can handle. We are not able to handle all of these all of this or we see the they were with of course but they were able to see the I can't imagine that we're holding over here they tested and they kept testing to say are we really deserving to have this you can't bring water out of Iraq for us Moshe can do it I know you can do it you're big man and and obviously Hashem can do it but us the way I don't believe that it's going to It can't be. And most of the tests that they had with when they complained they had buser, they wanted meat instead of man because they said we're humans. We're not mal we're not able to do it. We're not holding there yet. They believed can do it. They believe Mosher Rabenu deserved it, but us as Shnooks, we don't deserve it. We're not holding on such levels. You're putting us in the highest of levels. How am I ever going to be able to get to such a such a level? We're not holding there. That's the healing. They kept testing and testing if they're able to do it. And he says that's the listen to a you would have never thought about this. They kept testing Hashem. Is he Hashem within us or not? Is he amongst us or is he not? So we understand they're testing Hashem. Is he really with us? No. They wanted to know is V with us? Is it the name of Hashem? The name of Hashem which is in the world in the tea in nature is Hashem working with us in a natural way meaning we only deserve to live in a natural world but maybe we live in the world of maybe we really live in the world of you know what is the highest of all the that's like a really above over there you do miracles over there you're living in the highest of worlds Mosha Rabenu was living in the world He didn't need to eat and drink for 40 days. In the world of there, it's it's just the rat of Hashem. It's just the will of Hashem. It's above the world. You can go ahead and change and do miraculousness. So, their question was, are we but maybe we're in a stage of So, they kept testing to see maybe we're not deservant, maybe we're not deservant of this, which is actually very accurate because they did get it as somewhat of a freebie because of Moshe Rabenu. And as a result of that, that's why they had such a fall. They ended up having such a shira. They all died. They did not survive. They were not able to go there to Israel because there was a sharim because of what happened because they didn't believe that they actually can get there. Now, one more example. Let's go another example. The ba mdash. You heard of that before? The B mikdash on which we commemorate every year. The mikdesh was full of miracles. It was the you could see it with your vivid eyes. It was real. It was tangible. That was the power of the or that came down and rained inside of the ba mdash. But what happened as a result of our as we sayim right what they didn't do anything the the cle was already broken. The utensil was already chevy. It was already fragile. It was very fragile. It wasn't It wasn't there. They made the whole place. I mean, there's not a place that can handle anymore. When we're not holding there, then it all breaks down. No coincidence that the problem was um or connection, right? We mentioned the whole reason why the and the parts come together is because there's a connection between them all. Everything connects together. And when you disconnect, so there's no room for a beta mikdash. So that's how the beta mikdash also occurred from the same from the same idea. Okay. And lastly, and this is just the most important. This is really what the Bali Mousar always tell us. We always think that when the Bali Musar is telling us that we have to work on ourselves and they always say when you're going up, go in small steps. We always talk about this before. Shah go in small steps and go because okay we're losers basically you can't handle the whole thing so okay do small steps no that's the way it works if you take on too much too much and too fast a pace so there's going to be too much ore you'll get the ore it'll come and it'll come it'll come but the vessel can't hold it and it'll go kap it won't last we ever seen people that have tried to become too from too fast tried to take on becoming too much at once and they toppled to the ground. They fill and they became worse than they were before. That's because that you have to be able to be a cle that can handle the amount of ore that is coming and spilling into the clay. That's the only way that it can that it can survive. If not, then it's just going to shatter. It's going to disappear unfortunately. And that's what happens that a person can fall into depression or upsetness. He could be broken as the expression in English goes nbar. He can reach a status of ye of giving up, of not being able to hold him up, of being disappointed, etc., etc., etc. All these things come when a person takes on too much or at once. But you should know that down is always a point of up. The falling is always an accuda of aliyah, even though it looks disappointed, but like we said, the monitor has to go up and down. If it's a flat line, you're dead. There's nothing doing anymore. That's what it is. Someone one time went to the Kaz and he said to him, um, I wish I can get rid of my Yates. It's just too strong for I can't stand my Yates. It's too much for me. He said, I don't have a problem. I can help you get rid of your I know a lot of people that got rid of their Yates. Here he goes and he walked him to the cemetery. He took him to the bet here. All of these people don't have anymore. Here you want to go enjoy. I don't think he was trying to tell him to commit suicide, but he was trying to tell them that uh if you really want it, then that's the way to go ahead and do it. What is it going with the dar is and what's something positive having a fall is something we look for. Now, we don't look for it. I shouldn't say that. Having a fall is the point of aliyah. As we know, poor people are involved in right le you going to tell me when someone reaches rock bottom now we know he's on his way up and sometimes you need them to reach rock bottom in order for them to pull themselves up and get to the right place that they're supposed to go. It's a system and it's part of a system but it's in the system in the higher worlds already. That's the I'm not just coming here to give you a course. This is unbelievable. In the cabalistic worlds that's how it works. There needs to be aim. We have to have a breaking of the vessels in order. We need to have partsim the partsim developed from the from the breakage from the wreckage. That's where we get the cleaning up and it's needed to be part of the system. It's a beautiful idea. You see encompass the whole entire Torah. Everything we just spoke about all the examples that we just did and we see it is so real was something that always bothered me. Chuva was created was one of the 10 things that was created before the world was created. Chuva, what do you mean? No one did a sin yet. What are you a great Jew about? That's like that's like you know asking for trouble like what is this I think I mentioned once didn't like when they wrote in the calendars at the end of the year in the calendar they have it says he said the whole year it's a calendar with a new calendar and he's already writing in the next by the next year that the this year should finish with it as a why you giving he told him to get rid of it and if you look in the calendars they get rid of it he took it out he used to write in the last year. So he'll only write it on this year's right in the beginning of the calendar but the end you won't write over there cuz it's a what are you opening your mouth. So why do we have chuva even though it doesn't exist yet? The answer is the same thing because we know we know that in the end of the day everyone falls and it's part of the system and it's okay and we're meant to fall and whether it comes through a sin you're not supposed to look for it. You don't ask for it but we know it's part of the system and the idea behind falling become the biggest sadikim were the ones that fell and they were able to pull themselves up from it. So that's the beauty of learning about the parts which will start picking up next time because you start appreciating the way then hug of the system works that we live in that yes there are dips but those dips are the biggest place for the place of aliyah of only growth. Understand?
