[Music]

Good morning everybody.
I apologize for my long delay today.
Ah,

Huh.
>> Very good. Okay. Thank you.
Today's class is dedicated by Helen Dim
Kaplan in loving memory of Dr. Anita
Khana Leia Batisti
Moalam.
Thank you very much to Helen de Kaplan
and thank you very much for the
dedication and uh
may the memory of Dr. Anita Kalea Pastor
Bis Alam be a source of blessing and
inspiration to you and to all of us and
to all of the Jewish people to
and may she continue to
be a channel of blessings for all of you
and for many long and happy and healthy
years with only abundant and revealed
manifested blessings and flow. And thank
you very very much. Amen.
Okay. So the first pedic you remember
speaks about what the posture of unity
looks like when all the souls can be
connected to their source to the
alignment and there's no essential
hierarchy of higher and lower even
though you have so many different
categories and there are leaders and
there are students and there are
disciples and there are wood choppers
and water carriers but whenever anything
he says the great principle in holiness
versus unholiness is that in holiness
there's always a dimension where you not
recognize the beginning and the end, the
head and the toe because it's rooted in
what he calls and of kalman. So even the
way it comes down into categories and
you need these different positions just
like a body the head has to do its thing
and the heart does its thing and the leg
does its thing but everyone has a unique
contribution to make and an
indispensable contribution and in that
sense the leg can sometimes be
considered the head etc. That was the
big the big the big focus of
all of you and it says in when it says
it's referring to the day
which is
more specifically said the purpose is
to enter into a covenant and he
explained at length what a covenant is
that there is love where you fall in
love and then you fall out of love and
the reason you fall out of love is
because the original factors and reasons
that created and motivated and inspired
the love are weakened.
It may they may be gone. They may be
weakened or there may be other aspects
that come into play that undermine that
relationship. And the bris is a
recognition that our relationship is
essential. Obviously, you have to be
ready to go into such a covenant. I'm
not going to make the covenant with a
tissue box or with a person that you
have to be ready because it's really
recognizing that for me to be true to my
deepest reality, you're part of it.
That's that's a very deep uh that's a
very deep uh evolution. That's a very
it's a quantum leap. And it's basically
saying whatever happens as much as water
comes under the bridge so to speak what
may be the connection is non-negotiable.
It's absolute just like the connection
with yourself.
People go through a lot of changes but
one non-negotiable thing in order to
live is that your connection with
yourself is not compromised. It's very
important idea.
It would seem simple but it's not so
simple. There's no such a thing you cut
off connections with yourself. If you're
not on speaking terms with you, you may
not like certain things. Okay? So just
because I don't like certain things I
don't talk to them, talk to them, listen
to them, negotiate,
fight with them, whatever. I mean,
better not to fight. But uh the point is
it's you. It's you. You don't say today
I I woke up late. I have this problem. I
hate myself. That's it. I hate myself.
And when we do say that and we live that
way, we all can understand the
destruction of that because that's like
the foundation. That's the foundation.
When a relationship with the other
reaches that space, that's what the idea
of Chris's brises. And he explained this
was David and Yenison. David and Yenison
rationally there were a thousand reasons
that their friendship should have break
fallen apart. Not only that, David
should have been Yenison's archeneemy.
Forget about best friends. You don't
have to be my best friend. you know,
they're my arch enemy. could say good
chabas and good morning and habit and
tug and then then I'm inviting you for
the kdesh but atkan
best you know there's there's a big
spectrum there's a between friendship
that is you know above the charts best
best best best friends confidants in the
deepest to the deepest degree to an arch
enemy you know I just want you dead and
I want to kill you that's what you would
have expected
that's where all the arrows were
pointing in reality They were not just
friends but their loyalty was so that at
the eulogy David says
of it's a stupendous love and zooms in
on the word
means
it's a it's what it's what tells Moshe
after the sin of the calf
after the betrayal After the sin, there
was all the reasons to say this marriage
is not going to last. Obviously,
in the honeymoon, there was already
betrayal. They didn't wait 5 years, 6
years, 7 years, you know, stress,
raising kids, they bought a house,
a point in life where people fall apart
because a lot of stress and sometimes
they do stupid things. But here's the
honeymoon. What's you're on vacation,
you're in front of you're sitting at an
ocean beautiful five-star hotel,
six-star hotel va vu
the is paying everything for a couple of
years for 40 years the is paying so
the answer is there's something
right what the what the therapist would
say your husband is in crazy trauma he
just doesn't know how to be in a
relationship your wife is in Crazy
trauma doesn't have to be in a religion.
Okay. So fine. So when you heal will you
let me know. So there was something very
very deep here very deep that fell apart
and Mosha brought out the bris which is
not denying the things that have to be
fixed.
But it's realizing that there is a there
is an essential connection here that if
God is real, our relationship is real.
In other words, if there's truth in the
world and the soul has a this this the
soul has the soul is connected to truth,
there's a truth in this relationship. I
can't just say it's over because there's
a lot of good reasons for it to be over.
That is a skin deep perspective and it's
undermining the deeper truth of reality.
And that's the idea of bris where you
cut the body of the animal into two and
you pass it. Alter says what it
represents is it's two parts of one
animal.
It's a friendship that's two halves of
one soul. It's two parts of one mats.
It's a gof. Even though it's split into
two.
That's what a bris bris represents.
From here he goes into piml. He's still
going to come back to this in a big way.
And piml starts off with and this was
the whole that hashem says the says
hashem says I want you to coronate me
every single year.
And he starts explaining is the day when
was created and he coronated Hashem. He
said hashemish
which is what we say every single Friday
in the shy because the first was on a
Friday because it was the sixth day of
creation when were created
and but then Hashem
revealed his malos. He created it from
the arousal from above. Now it's done
through
the arousal from below.
And this is represented by which is an
outcry that's deeper than words. Deeper
than words to the point that there's
literally no words that could contain
it. Not because you have nothing to say
because it's deeper than any word. And
he explained that's what is. And then
from here went to explain the
which we say of course during this time
of the year my heart is telling you
search for my face which means search
for my pies my inside and this became
the whole is that there's two layers of
the heart. The heart can beat in two
ways two dimensions.
Yeah, you remember is so to speak the
outer layer of the heart which doesn't
mean it's inauthentic. It just means
it's the outer layer of life but it's as
authentic as it gets. And then this
which is the internal the innermost core
of the heart and became that the first
of comes from and is of appreciating and
tuning in going away from the
superficial from the superficial
shelter. fact that everything is divine
energy
and therefore a relationship with life
means a relationship with the internal
dynamic of life with the energy of life.
A relationship with another person is
not just a relationship with their watch
and their glasses and what type of hat
they're wearing, but it's with their
soul. It's with their energy. It's with
their internal space, which is a very
profound shift, right? And it's going
away from judgment, from superficiality,
from pleasing, from impressing, from
flattering, from uh from avoiding. It's
it's it's I want a relationship with the
inner truth of life, which is the divine
flow. As we spoke about being in flow,
you know, going away from the from the
ego, whatever that ego represents,
it represents hortiness or it represents
insecurity and and and the need to run.
Whatever that that ego is, it's the
separateness that
opens itself up to the
I want to be I want to be with you. I
want to be I want to be real. I want to
be real. That's the word. I like that. I
want to be real. There's a thirst in the
person when you get sick and tired from
being sick and tired and when you get
sick and tired from being fake. It's
it's sickening. It's nauseating. Leave
me alone already. enough years
or at least part of the day I have to be
fake or in certain relationships I have
to be fake or at work I have to be fake
or here I have to be like leave me alone
I just want to be connected I want to be
I want to be that's the word I want to
be I don't want to be something else I
don't want to ma wear masks and and and
and and it's very deep we all understand
this is deep aid it's very deep right
and says this is
the says in they follow God who roars
like a lion is we the person roars like
a lion when you experience the
it's a roar it's an outcry of the lion
representing the which is love that I
want to be connected and this comes from
an understanding that there's only one
way of life and that is to be in the
flow of God's energy right now
the moment I go out of that. What does
it look like going out of it? I don't
probably don't have to explain, but it's
basically I have to be in control. I
have to control. I have to figure
everything out. I own the world. I owe
my wife. I own my kids. I own
everything. So, there's right away
stress and anxiety and overwhelmed and
and and and what it's going to do to my
reput all these types of thoughts.
Everybody in their own way, whatever
that looks like, you know, that's going
out. I'm not in flow
to be aware. No, God is creating me
right now. So, I'm a channel. I'm just
I'm a channel of energy. show up as your
channel of energy that he wants you to
be. Of course, be responsible doesn't
mean not to be responsible. I'm a
partner. I'm I'm the channel. He wants
me to be the channel with my mind, my
heart, my love, my presence, my arms, my
legs, and my consciousness. But that's
that's what it is.
You relate? Do you relate to this? This
is I mean, I would think it's pretty
prim, but okay, fine. As I told you last
time, it doesn't mean that it's that you
know it's cheap
means it's operating in the spiritual
structure of a spiritual universe.
Somebody said Margaret said, "I wish I
can only I could have five minutes of
this. It would be good." Anakami
this itself is a very very it's it's
it's constantly leaning into this
because intuitively we we drift away. We
go back to the nephew Bahamas to the
animal soul which is about survival and
I have to see what's survival. Okay, now
I survive by lying to you, by
exaggerating to you, by by making up a
story, by squirrel, squirreling, by
being dishonest, by covering up, by not,
you know, everybody in their own way,
you know, fight, flight, freeze, fawn,
however we respond to to difficult and
dangerous situations. And even just in
regular day, you know, I'm shut down,
I'm
have to escape here, escape here, escape
here. Every form of escapism, whether
it's to my phone, to food, to Netflix,
to cover, to attention, every form of
escapism is the pain of not being in
flow. And I'm looking for something to
compensate. That's it. It could be my
phone. I'm going to watch now some news
for the next hour. It's going to be
everybody who hates Israel. And I'm
going to get upset at them. I'm going to
put it on my family WhatsApp so they
could see the new anti-semites that have
been born since Charlie Kirk was killed.
and uh and fine and for the next hour
I'm good until we go to the next one.
Then I'll go to the pantry and hopefully
my wife bought a danish for Shabas and
we can eat at Shabas or two days before
Shabas
and if it's really desperate you always
have Netflix or whatever else you have.
I don't know what everybody is familiar
with in the room, but different forms of
escape.
>> Huh? What?
Oh, that's a that's a good sha. So,
since I'm bias since I'm bias of me, I
can't I can't state an opinion.
So, this is so important, right?
Means am I in that am I in that state of
Now, sometimes it's hard when we're not
there. I'm angry. You triggered me. I'm
overwhelmed. I'm worried. I just got a
big bill, right? The principal called
you up about your son Yeshiva. Whatever.
It's not so simple. We all understand
how easy it is to drift away. Not
because people are malicious, because
life is full of blockages and
concealments.
So that's the idea of bringing it back.
Bringing it back. That is all. And
alterp says why is it called?
Because it's basically
tuning in to the manifestation of
divinity that is flowing through the
universe in each creature according to
its capacity. That's what it is. He puts
it very beautifully.
Every every created being has a capacity
to comprehend to retain. Right? Just
like there's a cup it could contain a
certain amount of water. Every brain,
every consciousness has a certain
capacity
>> to and that that is its existence. Yeah.
And if if we wouldn't have those kalin,
we wouldn't be who we are, right? So the
flow of God that I can experience and
you can experience is basically that
which is measured to your capacity. I
can't expect a 7 cup to contain the
Niagara Falls.
We're we it just doesn't work. I can't
even expect a gallon to come into this
cup unless the cup gets destroyed,
right? Unless there's no cup anymore,
that's no problem. But the definition of
a cup is exactly to be 7 ounces. Niagara
Falls I don't need a cup for. But I
can't drink from Niagara Falls. And I
can't drink 100 gallons of water or from
the Atlantic Ocean. I can't drink up the
Atlantic Ocean. The whole idea of a cup
is exactly to give me a very limited
amount that I could put it in my mouth
and enjoy it. Yeah. That it could fit
me. And that's exactly what divine
energy is. It's exactly that. It it goes
into every cup. Pun intended.
Cup as cup. That was your uh comment.
Cup as a head. Every brain according to
its capacity. If the ants, if the ant
would get human the human brain power,
what would the ant look like? Yeah. The
ant would also be in therapy all day
like always. Thank God the ant is an
ant. And he doesn't question himself. He
doesn't wake up in the morning. Why am I
not a dog? And why am I not a whale? And
why am I not an elephant? And maybe I
should change my career. You think my
marriage is a good marriage. And why
does this one drive me crazy?
For that you have to be human or a dog
to spend time around humans. Los
Angeles, New York.
So every animal has its it it's it's its
capacity and that's what it is. The same
is true spiritually. Every soul and
every creation
and always captures that flow that's
manifested through it. I can only
channel the energy that God is sending
through me through my heart, through my
brain, through my soul power,
>> what I'm allowing in
>> what I'm allowing in and also what what
what he what he's allowing in by
creating me to be me and not somebody
else. Just like you have your IQ and you
have just like you have your physical
physical there's the DNA for your
physical features, there's the DNA for
your spiritual features. And by the way,
they're all connected. The DN the
physical DNA comes from a spiritual DNA.
The Misha says that no two people's
minds are alike. No two people's faces
are alike. Even twins, right? Identical
twins, so to speak. We call them
identical, but they know they're not
identical. There is a little tiny
sequence in the DNA that is that is
changed from one to another. I mean,
it's, you know, obviously so tiny, but
that that tiny alteration, that's God's
imprint
called you.
That's his signature called you.
You'reim,
but you're also and it's not the same
because you manifest the unique energy
that's called because it's capturing.
Again, it's a little interesting to use
because it's really it's really the
pimus of the world, but that's the whole
point. It's capturing the energy that is
limited to the capacity of every single
creation.
And that's what the heart is tuned into.
Now, that creates a reservoir of endless
inspiration and flow because you're in
touch with that energy. There's a lot of
gratitude there and a lot of humility
there and a tremendous authenticity
there
and an internal Yeah. very deep support
system because you don't operate from
fear and from uh anxiety and from uh
from desperation,
right? That's how you right away know
when I'm operating from anxiety, fear,
desperation, urgency, like right that's
all taking control, you know, trying to
become my own god. That's a descoming my
own god.
This is where you show up.
[Music]
No. So what's pier? You remember what
premise?
What's pier?
So the truth is you have to
because
that's much of the posture of of of of
of a person, right? It's important to
understand that
that's that's to operate in that space
is extremely extremely important.
You know that's
that's the path of life. That's the path
of life. That's what gives all
relationships
luster and meaning. And it's the gift of
love. It's the gift of coherence. It's
the gift of being a channel.
It's where humility,
it's where humility and self-confidence
become one.
That's the way to describe it.
Mameish.
It's like self-confidence that breeds
humility and humility that breeds
self-confidence.
The moment humility and self-confidence
are divergent and certainly opposite. It
has nothing to do with this.
They say am I heard this from my brother
once that the students of the mag of
Mizri was sitting and talking about what
do you do with the ego? What do you do
with the arrogance? You know this this
inner sense of people I have to be
better and judgmental and superior. So
everybody gave a different and they came
to the alter. He was one of the students
and he said what are you talking about?
That was his answer.
If you want real ga it belongs to
lovage. The word gaos is the word ga.
You know that gaos means ga exaltedness.
If you're looking for a gya, no problem.
It's there. Go to love. You'll have all
the gy in the world. You understand what
he was saying? He was saying B doesn't
mean you're you're a loser. Everybody
steps on you. B means to understand that
belongs.
There's there's a source of life. And if
you go into that flow, then you're part
of it.
Right? That's why I gave you the mush
last time of the wave and the ocean.
When the wave decides that I have to be
separate from the ocean because I want
everybody to respect me and and see that
I'm something, right? How torturous it
is cuz after 10 seconds you crash
and to get your turn again could take a
lot a lot of time.
So imagine those 10 seconds you'll do
anything. So you know what we do? I just
realized we have the 10 seconds of the
wave there. take a picture of it. We
freeze the picture and we start deluding
ourselves that the the the wave is still
there and we know it's a lie. So we have
to delude ourselves and numb ourselves
from the lie. Oh, so look at my wave.
Look at my wave. And we hold it up for
90 some of us for 90 years. We hold up
the wave like this.
It crashed already. You know, it crashed
95 years ago. But I took a picture. I
freeze it. So that's why of course I'm
frozen. If if I would to be frozen, my
wave would would be down. Of course I'm
frozen. When I'm frozen, the wave could
be up.
It just came into me and I think it's so
real. You know, of course you have to
freeze. You can't be in the flow. What's
the truth? The truth is
the you're part of the ocean.
You're good. You're fine.
>> You're the ocean. Not only that, even if
you could keep your wave up,
what is the wave in comparison to the
ocean? Even if you could keep your wave
up,
but it takes surrender. This takes
surrender because it's letting go of the
wave as a separate reality. And that's
why waves don't go into depression
because they have no problem. They they
never detach from the ocean. They're
part of the rhythm. Now is my time to
shine and now is my time to go back.
It's fine. And when the next wave
shines, it's also me. It's also me. It's
the ocean. The ocean is not competing
with the wave. The wave is not competing
with the ocean. But emotionally to
experience all of this is not simple. It
takes a lot of work. Right? So that's
the whole idea of the first state, the
first posture of tuning into flow.
But when you do this, when you live like
this, you'll see it's a different.
It's really letting go. It's re really
really letting go. You don't have to
control. You don't have to control
people. You don't have to control your
loved ones. You don't have to control
and it's not irresponsibility. People
think when you say you let go, you
become an irresponsible lazy couch
potato. It's exactly opposite.
You actually don't have to invest any
energy and defensiveness and free state
so that all your energy could actually
go to do what you're supposed to do. So
your responsibilities are actually
executed with far more efficiency.
That's what I have found in my life. You
understand what I'm saying? When half of
my mental space has to go into
defensiveness,
I can't even do my responsibilities. I'm
working with a half a brain or 10% of my
brain or or 0.2% of my brain.
When you actually let go. So now okay he
okay so this is what my job do it.
You'll do it with your heart, with your
soul, with your presence.
You know, like people who exercise Yeah.
like they they'll sometimes do in three
hours what another person who's eating
pizza whole day will take 12 hours
because you're present. You're alive.
Your body is is in flow. Your soul is in
flow. You're aligned. You're connected.
You're integrated. You're coherent.
If not, I'm anxious now. I have to eat
again and eat again. So, I may sit at
the computer like a hippopotamus a whole
day 12 hours. You know they sit till
3:00 in the morning and make websites
and sell things and you know the you
know you know that character we've some
of us have been there been there done
that. Yeah. It's not the 3:00 in the
morning much like a hippopotamus.
There's potato chips all over and a
black and white and then there's a pizza
here and then the seven up and whatever
it is. It's like a you know what I mean?
Completely completely fragmented.
Completely fragmented. The person is
producing. They're producing. They're
making money. But there's like a certain
internal disintegration that is going
on. There's no real self-respect.
There's no real self-respect. I'm just
escaping and I'm doing things and I get
things done. You're talented. You're
skilled. You're brilliant. You know how
to play the market. You know how to
whatever it is. You're good with your
websites. You're good with your
programming. you're good with all the it
should be within
just send a little commission and a
little but internally there is a
torturous there's a torturous place over
there and we don't want to go there
in this space though when you could let
go of everything else you know being
present for 20 minutes for an hour two
hours
outweighs all of this and it's here
where confidence and humility mamish
converge they become the same thing
because the ultimate confidence
confidence is Hashem's confidence and
you're a channel. So you know exactly
who you are and you don't let you don't
let anybody tinker with that. Not
because you're arrogant. Not because you
have a point to prove. Not because I'll
show you that I'm the boss and you don't
start up with me and I'll take revenge.
You don't have to go there. It comes
from an internal fact that it's almost
protecting the light that God wants to
shine through you. You understand the
difference? Arrogance is I'm trying to
substitute for God and make turn myself
into a
means I'm protecting the light that
Hashem has to shine through me. And you
have to protect it. Yeah. You can't let
it be stolen or abused or manipulated
because it's not your light. It's not
even your light. It's like somebody
entrusts with you a child, right? Yeah.
You have to protect that child because
it's a it's a vulnerable world. We each
have a child to protect. We each have
the light to protect. That's a child.
It's a beautiful angelic child. You need
to protect it. That's very very humble
experience without it's without
judgmentalism.
So now that we're so enamored by
we have to open ourselves up to PMI.
PMI is
a deeper layer of our truth,
right? Somebody asked, I think uh Rabbi
Margaret asked last time, why should you
go why should you move on? like it's
good here like you know you have a
beautiful house and a vacation spot like
why should you go somewhere else good
though right and the the ultimate answer
is I think I told this to you yesterday
but right the the moment it's about
benefits like I don't need a you're
right you don't have to go anywhere else
you don't have to go anywhere else the
saliv is not describing a utilitarian
benefit you know you're going to get
move to this company and you'll get a
bigger salary
quit this job get a new job and I'll
show you the benefits. Like I'll show
you the benefits of salv
is reaching a place where there's no
benefits but it's reaching a place of
reality and that's really so there's
nothing that can move you like when you
go to a place where you're not being
moved because of any benefit. Did you
understand what I just said? Huh?
I also didn't understand but I know it's
true.
Right? The value of salv is not it's
going to upgrade your life. You're going
to lose weight. You're you're going to
make more money even you're going to
have more shalom bayas which are all
amazing things. You should have more
shalom bayas and lose weight and make
money and all amazing.
Yeah. It's it its value is the em it's
the truth. It's the truth of reality.
It's the truth that's that's not
transactional. It's essential.
puts what's pim really he says
everything is the flow of the creator
that is condensed into creation but what
about the creator himself
in other words the essence of all
that's what touches like precation that
was the whole
yeah you have the ray of the sun that's
chneled you have the ray that's
restricted and filtered it's the may the
may that comes down but
And the which experiences the creator in
its essence
when it's opened when that layer is
opened I just want you. So you say, "But
you're in flow. You have a beautiful
life. You're you're you exercise. You
eat well. You have a nice marriage. It's
galdic. It's all true and it's all
amazing." In the salv there's the
heartbeat of oneness in which it's the
literally the same oneness like
pre-creation. So the way puts it here is
what we say in Ding. Remember
and therefore even and therefore even
every flow by definition is it's descent
and every descent by definition includes
myriads and myriads of tsum of
restrictions of filters of condensing
until the goes in to that particular
mold to that particular reaction. ity
going through veils and curtains
more and more and more and each one
eclipses the gill of
why because if that would be revealed
all the would be
I as precreation it would be pure pure
pure ah
that's kale ele we call right it's
always higher higher like the fire, it's
not the water, it's the fire. It's going
higher. It's always something higher.
Kale Elliot.
And when the soul experiences
this and the soul does experience it,
why does a soul experience it? He says,
because
we're rooted in that. How can I
experience it if my whole identity comes
from the so I only know what I know?
The answer is that the soul is rooted in
that space.
So the moment the soul hears that music
checkmate game is over.
So you say and what do I gain from it in
that space?
>> Right? the whole element of
transactional even the most spiritual
reward becomes insignificant.
So you can't explain it in terms of
you'll do this and your life will be
enhanced. That's not what pis needs
is oneness
without a cause because that's what it
is. That's what it is. When said I don't
want ganed I don't want I want I want
you. It wasn't because if I come to you,
you know, you have all the money. Like I
don't want the bank. I want the banker.
That wasn't his heart. I want,
you know, I
want the guy who owns the vending
machine. I don't want the vending
machine.
That's like a whole that's that's it's
completely opposite. It's completely
opposite. This is a place where the
relationship itself is the deepest
thing. Now even in the first level it's
really it's not transactional. First
level is not ego
but in the first level it's the with
that which I am experiencing is being
channeled through me. Here it's a veas
that is completely transcendent where
there's absolutely no I
because everything is completely one.
>> Of course. Yeah. You're the ocean
itself. You're not the wave.
You're the ocean itself.
So that was the main and that's the idea
of
why
because I'm looking for your
is looking for the for the hind part for
the for
why
the moment you search for
it's right away it brings out your
That's not and that's the idea of idea
of
I call out from you something deeper
from the depth
I call out something deeper
and He says one more that this is also
connected to chuva because what propels
such a type of relationship is usually
distance. Distance creates the tension
that creates the thirst that's
unprecedented. You know like when you
pull back when you pull back the bow
right it's the tension that creates the
momentum. It's pulling back all other
weapons explains in a mimer. all other
weapons till the bow. It's power is
direct force. Whether it's the sword,
the spear, right? It's it's it's the
it's the axe, it's it's the weapon
itself.
The bow is you're pulling it away from
the enemy. Why are you pulling it away?
Go there. No, no, no. You pull it back.
And the more you pull it back, it
unleashes a much deeper force forward.
So the distance is what propels the
thirst of I want you
right that's
and he says that's where comes in
because zikarin is always on something
that's distant you don't have to
remember I don't have to remember that
I'm sitting here something that's
distant it's a memory I have to remember
and the idea
that there could be such distance is
what the zikurin is
And the is the there's no words. So
that's the because there's no words over
there because it's deeper than any word
in structure. It's the outcry of the
with the pius.
So he says now
hallelujah
right you remember this we say this into
in inra
every day it's the last chapter of kufon
150 so we have all these halalucas so
halaluca praise hashem
And then we start praise God in his
holiness. Praise God in the firmament
the heaven which represents his might.
Yeah. Praise God in his strength. Praise
God in the abundance of his greatness.
Praise God with blowing the chaur. And
then bene is a and a is a harp and a and
a is a drum and a tambourine.
Right? All these types of instruments
and then symbols.
And finally,
hallelujah. Every soul should praise
God.
Says it's so it looks like you know just
a bunch of halalos
this this this he says no no this is
this is the last chapter of so it's like
the summation of so he's actually
constructing a very intricate uh
presentation here.
>> Yeah the grand finale exactly. So listen
now he touches
what's called means the ultimate
holiness the supernal holiness
[Music]
the wordadesh means exalted sublime so
means in his ultimate kadusha that he's
exalted and holy and mud completely
aloof in a state of lad beyond any realm
of ashbah
The moment you talk about as he said
earlier and this is already relational
and therefore it's
restricted it's eclipsed layers and
layers and layers and it has to be that
way because that's what hashbah means.
Hashbah means it's a flow to a reality
that is in a completely different realm
and from here can ultimately come all
the worlds including our world. Right?
Right? As he spoke before that's the
idea of the water that comes down into
the lowest place because every single
is a form of which is a form of so that
there could be a mitas of if not it's
and it reverts to is a pure
insmos
he says you can't talk about not even
malion
deeper deeper so there's no words to
describe it there's no words and that's
why The chaer can't be in words.
Every word imposes definition,
description. That's the power of words.
Words capture things, right? There's an
expression in English called a
wordssmith. What's a word smith? A
wordssmith is somebody literally who
knows how to build something with words.
You know, you could read two articles
and one you read is like, you know, this
guy should go back first grade English.
A lot of our magazines and newspapers.
It's like pretty embarrassing.
And then sometimes you read, you know,
an article or a book, the person is
using the same alphabet, but wow, that's
a sentence.
They built something. It's a there's a
house and there's a house. You know,
there's a house after 3 years you have
to fix everything. And then there's a
house. It was built. It was built.
So every words basically words have that
ability to be able to structure to
present.
And by definition, that is capturing it.
It's not pure and safe. So allah
requires
what's
the
pre pre any concealment which we said no
thought can grasp it and on that we said
it's precation and procreation
after creation because creation doesn't
compromise that
right
and over there everything is in perfect
coherence and oneness in a perfect
transcendent way that is beyond logic
and beyond any thought that can grasp it
because thoughts themselves are a
product of a certain flow that is
limited
and that's why when I try to grasp
things with thought I end up by a brick
wall in the first level. No, it's all
about it's it's opening it's it's
allowing your thought your thoughts are
part of flow and my thoughts my thoughts
are part of flow. But here it's a place
where I surrender my thoughts. So is
this
is in contrast to water which looks for
the lowest place. This is the fire which
is always going upward and you can't
grasp it. You can't contain it. Right?
The water I could contain in a cup.
Water can also go crazy. I mean we have
tsunamis and and storms and hurricanes
of course but water at least can
sometimes be contained. You know have a
cup of water. Aish good luck. Try to
contain fire. Put the fire in the cup
and say just stay here. Stay here.
There's no such a thing. It doesn't
happen that way.
And if you try to contain it,
and by the way, this is very good
marriage advice, too. Alter says in that
women and men is fire and water. I'm not
going to tell you who's who. You'll
figure that out. The worst mistake you
can make in life is think you could
contain fire and control it and just
stay here and and and just be there. By
definition,
it's going to be different. That's what
fire is. So with fire, you don't try to
make it into water. Rather,
you build chairs and you enjoy the fire.
That's what you do. You enjoy say, "Wow,
look at this." And it gets hot. Yeah, of
course. But that that Yeah, in cold days
it's very important. So the idea of a is
always higher and higher and higher. In
other words, wherever you are, it shocks
the system.
It trans why? It transcends the system.
It eats up. It eats up. It destroys in a
good way. In other words, it doesn't
conform.
Everything has to be consumed in the
fire. The fire does not reduce itself to
become limited. There's there's there's
that's
why there's always a deeper level of bit
and a deeper level of surrender, right?
A person has surrendered, but then
there's a deeper they're called to go
deeper and deeper and deeper. You may
have Yeah. Because it's the
incomprehensible and it's not a
punishment. It's an invitation.
You know, once you passed a certain
milestone, now you you're called on to
go deeper, deeper, surrender, deeper,
surrender. Sometimes people are are
hurt, they're pained because, you know,
they did so much inner work and then
like things started to come together
like the puzzle is coming together. Life
is normal and healthy and blissful in
many ways at least, you know, to a
certain degree. I mean, no life is
perfect and then suddenly boom, you
know, that curveball that upends
everything.
But it's really it's really a
compliment. It's really an invitation to
a much deeper space of the self. Deeper
surrender means deeper flow, deeper
connection, deeper oneness. You can now
channel deeper truths. It's a very
intense. Anybody relates to what I'm
saying? I mean, if you've been there,
you know what I'm talking about. If not,
huh?
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's a right. So, it's not
because I'm punishing you. On the
contrary, it's like an invitation to be
a partner. you know with much deeper
stakes you know like you know to take
over the company I'm like giving you
over the company but to give you over
the company you have to be ready if you
just want to be a janitor and an
employee and go to your lunch break you
know from 12 till 6 etc it's a different
it's a different magnet it's a different
level so it's not about a judgment of
any level it's really going into from
says the first is
in his what happens Now
from this state this rally we call which
means higher and higher
from this place there's a flow of light
and energy through
means a firmament like the heavens means
his might his strength
they represent multitudes of veils that
eclipse and hide the revelation of his
godliness, concealment after
concealment,
etc., etc., etc. So, Rakia is like the
the veil. It's the curtain. It's the
firmament through which the energy
hides.
Concealment is one raiki and another
rakia and another rake and another rake.
Just like the heaven is like the border
that we could see when we look up. You
know what are we looking at? We're
looking at heaven metaphorically and
also physically. It's completely beyond
us but it's something we could look at.
We could marvel our horizon our heaven
and everybody's heaven is something
else. And if we may say poetically you
know
one person's purgatory is another
person's heaven. So there's so many
different layers depends where where
where I am.
One person's ganed is another person's
gan.
So as a result of that is it takes a lot
of strength to conceal then you goal
which is the intense and conceal. Next
is
after the original concealment there's
more
the is dressing up in so many different
garments and levels and each one takes
itself seriously.
In other words, we don't see it from the
original. We just see the product. You
understand? Our relationship is to the
garment. But here we're going back to
the beginning
because is basically holding back. It's
>> the
>> Yeah. If if even
Now the flight flows one line to another
line a little bit here a little bit
there.
So now all the world's highest and
lowest could receive their energy. Next
is
after all these veils and concealments
there have emerged and emanated and
created myriads and myriads of many
worlds endless worlds.
It says
so
there's no number to the worlds
and in each world itself there's no
number to the legions
and in one legion says you have myriads
and myriads of angels
which we actually learned
not long ago that it doesn't say good
but good mean the abundance of his
greatness because his greatness
represents the greatness the
manifestation of the vine and it's
there's so many different diverse ways
in which it's expressed every world in
its own way and every creature in that
world in its own way and that's all good
which comes after
you wouldn't have and you can't have
good there would be no flow but now you
have good what's
Abdulum. It's the way
that the diversity of the kay is
expressed in so many myriads endless
types of worlds. Every world is a
different reality a different light
that's being manifested but all through
the which was holding back.
So originally you have
and then you have even after that the
big and everybody gets their little
trickle of light.
So what's this all for? You went down
and down and down and down and down.
What's the next one?
If you really think about it, there's
something like strange about this mism.
First he starts talking about praise him
for this, praise him for that, praise
him for that, praise him for that. And
then he starts talking about
instruments.
Like first he's talking
like all these things and then halal I'm
expecting something else he did. Now use
a sche
and what should have I used the first
times like but it's almost like you
don't know what to say anymore. So now
like he you hear we the poem changes its
theme and rhythm. Praise him for this.
Praise him for that. Praise him for
that. Okay finish. Okay. Now I'll give
you a few instruments you could use. But
it's like it's a little bit it seems
inconsistent like not so honest.
You don't know what to say anymore. So
okay. Hallelu with a scheer with a harp
with a lear
says no this is the you went down all
the way from
good she says
halleluah
all of this is hallelu
is to praise hallelu to access
but through the blowing of the is
It's all to be able to have the outcry
back to the of don't get stuck in the
because from our perspective we could
stay there and it's very very powerful
because it's still it's still very
powerful but aloo it's all
to be able to see in every space of the
reality the truth of item
that it's all
and that's what the is the cry the
protest against all the conceivable
layers that block the true reality of
oneness of
like before creation. So the is the
outcry of the sal which jumps over all
of the barriers because it doesn't see
in them barriers that block because
remember all these layers of concealment
is only from one perspective. It's not
from the other perspective
doesn't mean he's somewhere in a hidden
somewhere where he didn't change. It
means the whole reality hasn't changed
anything. Even change doesn't change
anything. You heard that? We're not
afraid of change.
That's the answer to all your questions
with
it's not like the static Greek
philosophical deadness where God doesn't
change. He's somewhere in Antarctica
with the penguins and he doesn't change.
And don't think that your life is going
to mess him up because he's not messed
up. Okay, great. Thank God. But I'm
messed up
means you're not messed up.
So that's the
without
But the outcry that comes from which is
based on awareness
of course it comes into words of course
it's divided by letters
letters are chiseled out from
it's the father that gives that is the
foundation of the daughter which
represents
and is malus
beyond.
>> So, no words.
It's completely primal. It's completely
primal. It's so primal. We're not even
using the human sound. You could just
say to shash blow, scream.
There is an exercise where people
scream. I don't know if you ever did it.
Huh? You could do it in a private place.
It's it's it's a good release. It's not
a bad release.
I was once in Prospect Park. It was late
at night. This is a while ago. Uh and I
I just screamed. I let it out. I was
happy the police didn't come,
right? In breast, it's a big thing,
right? You go to 3:00 in the morning.
That's also pretty primal without words.
Just ah
sometimes in male they do sometimes
these retreats for men and they want
people to get in touch with their
masculinity. They have them scream
scream you know like gorillas like
liars.
But you go deeper than that too. You're
actually using an animals an animals
horn to to to to to let the curl go. So
of course it comes from your mouth. It's
going almost to like the most primal
primal primal place in the person that's
beyond any sophistication
even beyond the human brain figuring out
the sound. So that's what's represented
the halal
and then it's
>> the
express
paradigm at least
because that's the
>> in the in
everything is coherent
means the animal soul too there's
absolute coherence
>> that's the actuality of gold
>> yeah there's nothing outside of it it's
the oneness of precation so everything
is in a state of ayion which means in
perfect coherence it's like it's
pregnant inside out of cy just we're
we're looking at it the way it from the
simpum perspective it left and therefore
it has its own identity and in this
world you can even be an atheist right
you don't have to be connected to
anything but even in higher worlds every
mrega becomes its own reality its own
spiritual identity and you could get
stuck there I mean spiritually stuck
it's not ego ego stuck but it's
spiritually stuck
is says at the end of the whole I didn't
I'm not getting stuck
>> they are stuck
>> huh yeah so to speak so you have to
respect the process because he made this
process
is not a mistake but what's the is
to be able to pierce through everything
and say every m for me is just another
channel of that
there's a gald there's a called ben pis
y
it's was written by the bump student
ravakayen
Kats of Pulno the told the Ysef he wrote
a lot of he wrote told the sak of yim
he was the rabbi the of the city of
pulno in Ukraine and he was one of the
great students of the bos and the
himself didn't write his teachings so we
only know it from his students and he's
one of the greatest sources because he
writes a lot I heard this from my
teacher and it's direct so you know that
this is exactly what he heard from the
bash he was a huge huge gone it was from
the great students of the bos so uh
there's a safe in a safer ben I think
it's in par told us he says I heard from
my teacher
before that means that the balm spoke
before blowing of the which is
interesting because you know that he
spoke before the blowing of the whether
it means before or after it doesn't say
but before blowing he spoke and he gave
a mshel say I heard this from my teacher
he gave a parable so it's fascinating
that
the BMP decided to speak and he didn't
give up he gave him he told a story and
what's the story that he told he brings
us in a few places that he heard it from
the in one place he says it was before
is that he said it before
so he says like this and by the way I'm
just in parenthesis I'm going to say
there's
so here you have a classic example for
What I'm going to say now, we just
learned this in the M. You'll see the
continuation of it afterwards, but this
is what he says. Basham said as follows.
There was a king who was very
benevolent, beloved, and loving and
wise, a wonderful, wonderful person. And
one day he invited all of the subjects
of his empire to come visit him. He
wants to be with them. He says this king
was a was a aim. He was very very
skilled and perceptive and he had a
special kush to create simulations
to create a matrix called matrix
simulations in other words things to
appear in a certain way as very real. He
had that you know people who when I mean
today you would use programming right AI
to create a simulation of reality
>> huh
>> games
>> yeah like the games uh virtual realities
you have threedimensional and it's very
real it's very real but it's only a
simulation what's called in other words
for your eyes it's real
yeah an illusion of skin
and you like wonder where's the bivv
going with this as the people came they
hit a brick walla a brick wall and it
was very very difficult to get through.
You had to find a gate like a maze to
get through and climbing a lot of
exhaustion in order to get through. You
had to be very ambitious and when you
got through you found a huge treasure.
There was a huge treasure.
So many people they worked hard. They
wanted to get to the king and then they
came they said ah this is the trophy and
they went home. You know you come you
find $500,000. Okay you go home. And
then there were those who said no but we
didn't meet the king yet. They went to
the second wall and the second wall was
more complex to get through and they
went through it and there was even a
bigger treasure. They said, "Oh, wow.
It's trophy number two. You know, you
won your Olympics. Go home." And then
there were those who went to a third
wall. And each one had an amazing id, an
amazing treasure that awaited you when
you went there. And he said that most
people took the treasure and they went
home.
He said the king had a child who decided
he has to get through and he went and
went and he penetrated all the walls and
he met the melik and the bashandu says
and when he came to the other side he
turned around and he saw there were no
walls
there were no walls there were no
barriers there were no gates there was
no concealment the king was always there
right there and there was absolutely no
blockage
that's the marshall he gave before the
>> yeah
in many ways this this captures the
whole of what the BMP taught I mean in
one mshel
>> but there is today there's materials
that you can see in one way you cannot
see or another
>> yeah
today we have good examples for this in
the physical world what was he trying to
say and this is so so uh relevant and
especially if you can experience this
because what happens is, you know, life
is filled with walls. Walls that block
us from ourselves, from our soul, from
our energy, from our self-love,
self-actualization, from our deepest,
deepest truths. You know, we live behind
walls. So many blockages. I need to
impress my society. I need to live up to
people's expectations. I need to live up
to these expectations. Even Yiddish and
God could be another pressure and source
of anxiety, especially this time of the
year.
And there's so many walls and blockages
and pain and anxiety on so many levels,
you know, physical, emotional,
psychological, financial, spiritual. And
those walls are real, so to speak. And
the BM and and and and people work hard
and they get through the wall. And the
biggest mistake is they actually find a
treasure and they go home. There is a
treasure. Every time you go through a
wall, there's a trophy awaiting you. And
it's nice and you can say, "Okay, good.
That's it. We're done. We go back home."
And you have something. It's nice. It's
a beautiful he says money, silver, gold,
diamonds. It's really nice treasures.
But one thing you didn't reach. You
didn't reach you didn't reach your
essence. You never met You never met the
king. You never met the essence. You
never met your own essence. What he
calls.
So you go another wall, another wall.
You know, you work harder. You work
harder. You work harder. And people who
are struggling have to work harder. And
there's a big treasures awaiting you.
That's a very intricate part of the
metaphor. It's very hard to it's easy to
miss that point. And then there is that
child who can't stop. He would also like
to stop but he can't. It's not even a
choice.
You would like to stop. I can't stop.
Why can't I stop? Because there's an
inner knowing. There's an inner knowing.
There is reality. Of course, I can deny
that. But it's like denying again like
like like hating like denying that I am
me, right?
So he goes further. He goes further.
What happens when you when you touch
that point is you realize all the
barriers were just from your
perspective. He was never distant from
you even for a moment.
You were there. He was there. You were
completely one. It was just I was
literally like I'm under a rock and in
my perspective that is reality. And I'm
you know I'm jumping. I'm I'm I'm I'm
like the the bug trying to get out of
the of of of the You never see a bug
trying to get out of a cup, you know?
Banging banging banging banging banging.
And then you say, "Ah." And it's like,
"Wow, I was always there. You were
always there."
And then you look back and you're like,
"Oh, wow."
And the BMP was saying, "This is
so essentially what did Alb just say?
There's there's there's there's good
and it's all for there to be
which is to go to the space where
there's no
and what does that look like in that
space? You see, there was always the
absolute intimate oneness, the complete
perfection and coherence.
And it couldn't have been better. Even
though in your my own experience, there
was so much pain.
And this is what the Bumpa was trying to
teach people how to be able to live in
that state of reality, to live in this
frequency.
You say, "But you're crazy. You know
what my life looks like. What are you
talking about?" Yeah, these are the
walls. They're real walls. They're real
walls.
And you have to acknowledge that. You
have to acknowledge that they are real
walls.
I have to acknowledge that. And there's
a reason they're real walls cuz he wants
you to work through through those walls
so that you own the relationship. If I
don't work through those walls, I don't
own the relationship. It's just like a,
you know, free lunch. So, I have to have
those walls. So, I work through them.
And then when I get on the other side, I
see they weren't ex they were
non-existent.
People who some people who did some very
profound emotional healing work can
testify that uh
they're sometimes estranged from their
nishama for so many years. Really
estranged
and just like hitting against a brick
wall. It's like literally the best
metaphor. It's literally another brick
wall. It's like I'm just not touching
myself. I'm just not in flow. There's
just a brick wall, another brick wall,
another brick wall. It's living behind
anger and trauma and resentment. That's
how you know judgmentalism. Every
relationship is is torturous and
expectations and disappointments. You're
disappointing me. You're frustrating me.
We have a good day, but it just invites
another miserable day. Then you have a
good day and another miserable day. It's
like marriages that fluctuate back. It's
so hard. Like you never reach a space of
openness. like can we just get rid of
these stupid walls? We can't.
>> It's not that they're not existent.
They exist. It's like you know some
people when they see problem they say I
have a lot of
>> excellent
>> excellent solution.
>> So that's the truth. It's not that the
walls don't exist in the mushel. That's
how we say it. It's a simulation you
know it's just a matrix in the nimshell.
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It means
that the walls are also him.
>> The walls are the solution that problem.
>> Yeah. The walls are also him. Like it
says in Tanya
says
like the turtle that the the shell of
the turtle is part of the turtle. It's
not like there's a turtle and there's a
shell. The wall is oim.
>> Yeah.
And it's transformative.
So there may be a space sometimes where
there's no wall
like you see while there was no wall. It
was just my own delusion. And then you
go deeper and you say and even that
which was a wall was also him.
We could learn another few minutes.
Yeah.
>> Tomorrow. Huh? Yeah. Please. Please.
>> Huh?
>> Very good. Zuck's good. Zuck's good.
>> The Zuck is good. The Zuck is good.
It's very deep. This is deep emotional
stuff. If you're hearing this as
intellectual ideas, you're not listening
to this. This is not intellectual stuff.
You know, people learn these my another
madrega madrega this madrega that madre.
If you're hearing madregas,
this is about the ultimate the ultimate
experience of everything without denying
anything. without denying pain or the
need to amputate something. This is the
ultimate ultimate coherence.
It's respect for the process because
there's there's there's good there's a
real process. It's not like okay you
understand it's very important because
there's such a temptation to do what's
called spiritual bypassing. Oh, the BMT
says there's no walls. So, let's trust
the BMP. He knew
says with the you go back to so fine.
Let's just trust that. They know what
they're talking about. And you bypass
your walls. You understand?
And and you you remain disconnected. And
when you open yourself up to what's
happening, you resent. You become very
resentful actually because you feel that
your emotions have been stolen from you.
You weren't allowed to grieve. You
weren't allowed to validate. You weren't
allowed to acknowledge. So it's a very
very subtle distinctions here
which is why it's so easy to
intellectualize this because if you
intellectualize it you could just stay
detached from it in the emotional
experience of it. This is very very
serious serious work. It's blissful work
but it's also very serious work.
>> Right? It's not reading the manual. It's
experiencing the journey. And I went
through one wall and I got a I got a
trophy. Nice trophy. And there's another
one and another one and another one and
there's always another one
and then you cross it and you're like,
"Wow, wow." It's just like, "Wow." Oh.
And you're like, "Oh my god." So all
these layers were just my experience to
be able to literally It's like lifting
weights to be able to to build muscle.
And the moment you you reached that
point where he wanted you to reach, it
was like you were not even distant for a
second. Like I wasn't just holding you.
You were inside of me. You are me. You
you you're pure infinity. I'm infinity.
You're crazy. You know what I was
dealing with? This crazy
self-consciousness, this crazy anxiety,
depression,
insane thoughts. Am I a lover? Am I a
hater? Am I open? Am I closed? Am I
normal? Am I insane? Anybody deals with
these questions? Am I normal? Am I not
normal? Can you give me a certificate
that I'm normal?
>> Huh?
>> So, it's it's so so deep. It's so deep.
>> You could continue listening in the car.
Looks like it's this whole
is
designed in a way to to realize that you
can start by passing to the highest
level but the ultimate goal is to get
>> of course
>> so imagine exactly and this is the last
chapter of so after the whole he's
almost like describing it's so moving
sees that he's like describing the whole
journey why does he start with because
it's a reference point when you start
off with bkacho you know this is where
it began this is we're going to get to
like clal prat or cl you know you start
with the clal and then you go into the
granular details and you can get lost
and then you bring it all back to
coherence but the second level of
coherence is much deeper than the first
one because the first one avoided the
granular details the second one brings
it all back into the oneness
it's the harmony that comes from the
diversity diversity rather in lie of
diversity. So tells you that there's a
safety that you begin with.
There's always a safety you begin with.
You have to have a reference point.
There's a safety that's completely one
and transcendent. And then from there
came
from there camea. From there camel.
And then you could surrender everything.
But say you could surrender everything
and let go of everything and touch that
pmus which is the beyond words.
[Music]
It's very it's intense.
I watched the Reb below Shaifa for many
years
and uh I always felt there was no
experience like that that I ever felt
like it was I never there was something
out of this world but it like like like
what everything is describing here on
some level like I felt it or you felt it
like without words you just felt that
it's literally a moment of
It's like tune. It's it's
like I don't have the words because it's
about schyer. So I'm a man of words, but
I'm struggling with words.
It was like a moment of going back to
the beginning of everything. It's like
tuning into the deepest frequency of
oneness
where creation is happening once again.
It's like almost taking everything back
to the ultimate source and and starting
that relationship again.
So there was such an intensity there.
Not not fetchkite but such an intensity
an infinite intensity.
Now I'm just thinking back now at it.
It's like uh very very very profound
experience.
the way he said theukim and the the
blowing you know usually takes two three
minutes if the guy knows what he's doing
and could take such a long time
would struggle with with sound he he
knew how to blow it wasn't like there
was once they said there was once that
took 45 minutes you could see that it
was a spiritual it was a spiritual
struggle it was not a physical struggle
the next guy came there was a guy rabbi
tan bam and he would take the shy dude
it took a
You remember
I used to wonder as a kid but you
literally saw there was like a the would
struggle with a with a for such a long
time
and then change a and then go back and
change and change and his face was like
I'm fine and it's like as a child I felt
I felt it but I didn't like I mean I
still don't know but but it was it's
literally you're you're you're you're
being mashem all the way from the
If you want to use scientific terms,
it's like, you know, there's the big
bang, right?
And any scientist and physicist, they
can go pre- Big Bang because pre- Big
Bang,
how am I supposed to talk about it? So,
whenever you ask the atheists, you know,
how did the Big Bang happen? He's like,
we don't know. We're fine. That's their
excuse of not dealing with reality.
We're fine with not knowing. And in 50
years, maybe we'll know more. But
essentially, you're hitting a brick wall
because that's the beginning of
everything. Time, space, matter. So pre-
Big Bang, what am I supposed to do with
that?
And in many ways, what's big bang? Big
bang is you have a tiny tiny seinal
point, right?
Which basically is so to speak in
physical in in in in a physical
simulation.
So everything that we know about the
universe was condensed in a tiny tiny
little point that's like one mak it's
one ice it's literally it's audience
trillions constellations galaxies
planets 28 billion light years of the
observable universe
and it's what it's really one
>> point
>> 28 billion I think light was a mistake
>> how much
>> okay sorry
>> but fine I hear you whatever whatever
whatever the number is
>> and it's all one right which represents
and from there comes everything
and kifer
kiaer is an echo of the big bang
in 19 in the 1960s they heard the echo
of the Big bang, right? They can hear
it. They can hear it. So
is the echo
of of of that experience and therefore
going back to the source. Pre pre
going back to the source and that
requires complete surrender and there's
no words.
>> Yeah. It's following the sound and
that's
represents that expansion.
>> Yeah.
Oh no,
that's exactly it.
>> Yeah, it looks like a yud and it starts
mates which is a tiny point
and and you're going to and in that it's
infinite. So you say no but we are post
big bang creations. Why are we going
there? The answer is it's not a why. Why
was also a product of the big bang.
It's because the soul hears the echo.
The soul experiences the reality pre
and the whole big bang is all in that.
It's all in that yud which is submer
subsumed in the
and that's the
and over there it's completely coherent.
So there's
this good you know the expansiveness of
theum and look what it made.
And the shaifur is going back to the
core. And that's where everything
everything is taken for granted.
Everything has to start over again.
>> Huh?
>> Literally. That's why it's the beginning
of everything.
All other holidays are already post
creation, post big bang. There's mit
there's there's mat there's kanakur
amazing they're all experiences within
reality the only yum
that is about the genesis of reality
pre-reality prebi prebiotic soup as it's
called
>> prebiotic
>> before prebiotic soup
is rashashana
it's interesting madik the only rash the
only yumpt if we have at the beginning
of the month is rashasha
Everything else in the middle of the
month, right? The moon is complete or
whole or at least later in the month.
Of course, even it's later. The Gomorrah
says this in
it doesn't say which month. It doesn't
say which day.
which is the only holiday that the new
moon is covered is
you don't see the moon. It's the
beginning of the month.
The holiday that the
it's covered. It's eclipsed.
So what so has to make it so
complicated? Can't you just say
the first day of the seventh month? I
mean what was
[Music]
with gymnastics
the answer is the med says on the
I think it's test
says like this
the honor of God is to hide the reality
The honor of the king is to investigate
the reality.
So the med says like this from berious
but from the beginning of till Adam is
created
the whole process till
it's the glory of God concealed. Nobody
knows
nobody knows how it happened. What
happened? We weren't there.
>> How the first cell came into being
formed. What? When? Wow. It's just wow.
Wow. Wow. Fine-tuning. The finetuning
that had to happen in the milly milly
millisecond after the big bang is beyond
what you could talk about for a billion
years.
the fine-tuning, the crazy finetuning.
It would be much more logical for me to
say that you should a person is born
blind and over 90 years every day they
do the Rubik's cube.
You know the Rubik's cube and they get
it all even 90 years straight 100 times
a day is more statistically possible
than the universe coming into being. And
if anybody says that, you're going to
say he's a freaking mishuga. Unless
there was some person cheating when it
comes to the universe, it just happened.
So you're more of a freaking mishuga.
But fine, it's host
from here from the story of Adam and
Shabas. Now investigate.
That's what the That's what the Maj
says.
All the other holidays are Shabas and
post Shabas. There's only one yum that
goes back to
which is rish.
So of course it's besa it's the yumpt of
bakessa. It's the yumptive where you're
going into the concealment. You're going
into the place where you say it's off
limits.
Where do you even where do you even come
there? Where do you even come there? A
little humility.
Celebrate the exodus of Egypt. No
problem. Celebrate an celebrate kaneka.
Celebrate puddin bakessa. This is the
bakasa.
So the next piece in the mimer
is going to address this.
What's the what's the the space of
convergence from where I am today
to that nikuda where everything
everything begins everything is rooted
in
which is the only only ultimate source
for the ultimate trust okay will
continue p
tomorrow Friday 8 o'clock
and everybody have a beautiful and
inspiring and meaningful and uplifting
day with your and with
Yes. Yes.
Huh? Masletov. Maztovald.
Amen.
A grace of maza.
His son became a
maztoaldic.
Okay. A room full of simus. Gavaldic
change.
>> What?
>> My change. Okay.
