Mamer D"h Pasach Rab Shimon 5734 Mugga, Class One , Rabbi Yossi Paltiel - 5784

[Music] Friday first don't forget say and of course like used to bang on the 770 and so don't forget to say the and don't think don't forget to think about the says to say that the is not forever but the that means he who teach us T is forever now um this year we're learning from 50 years ago then as you've seen we've done a lot of extra in our desire to expedite the completion of allm of the sort of this is a challenge that we've given ourselves to complete it in 10 years although we really need 20 years to do it 12 years so we're doing a lot more my mod so I've done from different places right a little from here mostly and um so I'm way ahead this is from which is from the calendar perspective 40 days ahead um so I'm going to be learning uh through the sh and I'm going to go back and do some and that's why I plan to do this and it came which means it's it's a very it's a very very lofty M it's a very very lofty M and if you and I I copied from the from the not the but that's where I took this from um I didn't take it from my M because my is all scribbled I didn't take it from my old T I decided to take it from here and if you're going to follow with me so you're going to have my pages and my scribble so if you look at my scribble you'll see that I wrote and then and then in other words before I st teach mind have to say one thing and then a second thing and then a third thing but the third thing is real to the so the second thing comes before the and the first thing comes before the thing that comes before the in case you're confused I guess I intended to confuse you but I now please get unconfused and pay attention this is a very very deep MIM it's a very deep MIM and it's a about who you just say that name it's all you have to speak about is describing his own he's telling us he's telling his he's telling his andalus especially so the M goes on for nine pages right can I count the M goes on for nine pages eight and a half pages in this version I think in the Mal that's a bit shorter the old look at and the end of the m is going to be that the highest thing of all higher than the both the and the both the and the higher than higher than higher than higher than higher is the highest the deepest thing that could possibly be is the connection between and that in the day of Theus of was revealed by and the of course goes on to say that every a to this and when you when you learn the of and you see this theme repeat itself Time After Time After Time After Time it eventually sticks you know thatas is nine Generations old starting for the is seven generations old beginning with the Al and what you come away with and the end is that it's about I say this all the time that what did accomplish in this world what change the B shifted the center of gravity away from Judaism to the Jew instead of the the gravity of yish being was the gravity of Y is a y and there's innumerable forms for that assertion in numerable many different ways this is said including the classic T of Before Time this but even higher than that one and it's really true that's what is about came back the first time and he was what did he bring back with him he brought back a because he brought back the deepest is the preciousness of which is the and that's where this m is going the m is going to take a long time to get there and along the way we're going to be talking about a lot of things about and about and about about but in the end the m is going to end we're so many that the deepest and the highest is the so I wanted to tell you this at the outset that this is where this m is going and like I said it's typical of the Reb it's typical and classic to the Reb to do this to lead everything back and of course therefore the greatest thing we can do is love a because when we love a we're loving he whom hasem loves and therefore is the key so after all the that's where it all ends up so that's now what's the look at the begins and he says this is right this is in and it's part of the hisus right there's twois the two sections in there that are particularly cabalistic one is and when passed away from like in we through the and of course right away asks was considered how come not and there's an answer whatever the answer is but there is an answer and calls together the remaining seven of the 10 cuz three had passed away and says now it's my turn I'm going to say I'm going to pass away and they all showed up and he said amongst the many things he said was this and this am my beloved has a thirst for me which says thatst for so I took out the and I looked how many times in that begins with the words it's only twice there's many other and but there twice a there's the one that we all know which means that when we reach the responds with the priority that we reach first and then you have says my life is live for the and has a has a thirst has a CH has a desire for me imagine a human being should say has a thirst for me that's the so um to say that or any something like that is foolish and therefore when say it's true says I am telling you is thirsday for me wants and desires me and of course it brings out the incredible of so to all of us where results and then there's a much much higher which is even doesn't tell you was so the second introduction is just to point out that you have and this is in in many places we have a that starts one way and goes off in different directions and there's on it and to contrast the different the beginnings versus the ends gives you an insight into what the is the end of another case where atic starts one way and goes in two different directions which gives you an insight into the the of these so that's the second thing I wanted to say introduction that our is going to be based on the in contrast to which we all know and to which we all connected it's on now let me give you the which is really what needs to be talked about this m is going to talk about three levels the lowest level isus the second level is is and the highest level is thisas as you will see there's going to be several levels in vas and several levels in isas so it's going to be more complicated than just three but in general it's going to be three levels vus is the lowest level isas is going to be the second level and sakas is going to be the highest level now my recollection is that there are other places where his Casas is considered lower andus is considered higher and my recollection further is that there's a note from the someplace about this but I was never able to track it down I asked people about it and they didn't know what I'm talking about but in this mind there's three levels vas that's the lowest level his kasas which is the second level and um his which is the highest level but there's a depth to this and the depth to this is very very very important it's very very important to understand the MIM correctly and it's also very very important in giving to an insight into was he was a physical human being on the physical Earth and the nature of his attached to is in such a high that it literally boggles the mind it P is mind-blowing what kind of and he's describing them in the and the in this mind which is based of course on the mym of the earlier is Flushing it out is developing it's explaining it let me explain to you the foundational idea of the conversation that we need to have about these three levels when we talk about relationships with so the moment you say a relationship with you're dealing with to use the abish does not have a relationship with himself so it's only in the scheme of creation and in the the scheme of creation's purpose that you could speak of there's no more than one in so in this scheme of conversation about the bringing together of more than one there are two very very big Ideas one big idea is bringing together two separate things me and his creation that are initially two and they're being brought together when you're talking about Creations really at least are because the creation means that it's separated from the its own perception is first they aware themselves and only afterwards they know their cause meaning they have a self identity first and then a second so they're called creations and Creations are separate from in their own perception when you speak about creations and Creations relationship with you can talk about different levels a relationship with AB based on a relationship with abish based on feeling a relationship with abish based on the senses a relationship with abish based on the mind but it's the relationship between and a being which is categorically removed and separate from him in its own experience in his or her own own Consciousness and there's different levels and the word that I would like to use to represent those relationships is ble there's a being which is a yesh whether it's a physical person or it's a physical animal it's a physical plant or physical mineral or a metaphysical angel or a metaphysical Spirit Ru of some other sort that their very essence is themselves and have a Rel ship with him so it's a relationship that begins with a separateness a true separateness so the word that I would like to use to denote those relationships is B and as I've told you in classes that I've given earlier the idea of B that's important to appreciate this b means first I'm separate and then I'm surrendering that separateness first I'm myself and then I'm joining my myself sness with the abish and like I said before there's various level and B but then there's another category another category isus godliness which of course you don't have it at all so the gets off the bus at this point although it say of himself was a big is that the beginning of with the words he was he was a philosopher and not a Mystic so the idea of godliness which is something which is not a creation yet and not God anymore it's so speak the light of the expression of hasem doesn't exist but it's the foundation of and there is a whole another set of relationships and a whole another set of rules of relationships when you're talking about the relationship between in one sentence when you talk about things that are separ from the to the there's two categories which is not at all but because has a relationship with the based on the fact that it has a so if I had to use words which I don't want to use I would say we're the two basic concepts are the B of and the B of but I don't like to use the word b Fus I like to use the word v Fus because the basic definition of ble means first I'm myself first I'm separate from you and then I submit to you elus doesn't have an eye doesn't have a self elus is simply an expression of hem where I like to say it godliness is uh an expression of God if you would meet godliness whatever you would ask he would answer meet my source there's no there's no so when you learn you'll have many they will delve into the B and the different levels of b as it relates to I'm separate from and I'm joining then have many my other my which to talk on different levels aboutus and we may use the same language but we don't mean the same things when you're talking aboutus is always BT has no to start with nevertheless so we have a that is talking about himself and he's telling his m m connection to and he starts with the words desires me and like I said before it's impossible to say there's a possibility of is going to describe his relationship with the in describing himself and in the our based on of the earlier if you see he's to from and then there's also a reference to from and a little bit of this is in and from the he brings this might has many sources in order to explain is describing the nature of his connection we're going to be discussing the three levels of but you must understand vus is the lowest level esas is the middle level sakas is the highest level and there's going to be several levels of vus several levels of esas until you get it's all nothing in this is desb desing yes at all nothing in this mind is describing in other words the lowest idea in this MIM is what you and I would call lus and it goes Higher and Higher and deeper and deeper so to learn this MIM correctly you must appreciate the foundation the foundation is talking a physical human being but he was so connected to Hashem that you can't even call him B you cannot say about you know like he WR by the Holiness a human being and nobody epitomizes this nobody is higher in this regard than himself and in order to explain the nature of the godliness that was the human being rash how connected was in this world and it's it begins Beyond B the lowest is way higher than the whole idea of being if B begins with yeses if first I'm separate and I'm connected which we're calling this doesn't even appear this is going to speak about levels of levels of of connection to the lowest level in this m which is going to be called isus it's godliness and godliness means I have no self-identity godliness has no eye or alternatively the eye of God L is God there has no self-identifying whole is reflection and representation of the so when you understand that is and then you understand in the next sentence that is the lowest level that is going to be talking about and you're going to be several levels in and above be and there's be several levels in his and above his be you should get a headache you should get you should get a headache who was and as I love to point out it's so interesting this incredibly holy who was so far removed from everybody else around them there's no language has this incredibly broad appeal everybody feels connected to that's how it is the biggest beyond the whole have any real relationship with them everybody knows everybody values everybody cares about everybody learn so anybody benefits from so there you have it this is the uh beginning of the third introduction to understand that this is speak about different M but in this the lowest M on the table is not lower not in other words in no way are we describing anything which has any or any whatsoever dealing only with but the itself we're going to speak about three levels of so let's talk about this let's talk about these three levels ofas andas but first let's talk about the difference between the word and the word the word and the word NRA means a creation a creation has to have borders a minimum of time and space and some kind of a form and an aspect of separateness from hasem alus godliness which as I tell you in all of my classes is an idea that's nonexist right in Jewish philosophy in and in there's no such concept as godliness godliness is not God anymore and not a creation yet or as I like to call it nowadays God interactive the difference between God and godliness is that God has his existence is entirely by himself to himself in himself with himself and alone elus godliness which you can call the face of God the light of God sh is the idea that there's there's an expression from the which can touch and be touched by the creation but godliness is no yeses godliness has no self-identity whatsoever there's no eye to Godliness or the eye of godliness is God himself if you would meet I like to say that godliness is something that its whole identity is that's representative of a creation is I am and I serve godliness doesn't have an I am it doesn't even have an I serve godliness is I represent I'm representative of and in language of it's right we use the language of O all use different language the word speak about shame they speak about different things but the word and and in so many before and after they explain why we prefer the form of oil to represent this incredibly important and very very elusive very a a concept called godliness alus very hard to explain very important explain because all of and Caba revolves around this one idea so godliness means that there's something that emerges from God and when you say emerges you don't mean specially emerges you mean emerges in terms of availability the abish himself is not knowable and not known is what comes from the that allows us to know him and it comes the in a way that allows us to know him in such a way that there is no separate of this medium by which we know from him who we are knowing that's Aus godliness so I like to say that alus is more btle than b even though in there's we use the word for right you can't use for because it has no yeses but there's a lot of words of B that you use forus um I did earlier this winter in my glass ofic term series I think 12 Parts on b and a significant number of them were about and each one of these you have in both models in the creation model and in the godliness model so godliness has no matus of itself other than that it represents the A and yet there levels why because there is God right there's godliness which is one with God which is called there's godliness which is very close to God which is called this godliness which reflects God which is called the and this godliness that comes close to worldliness which we call the of so although godliness always means have no self identity other than that I represent hasem you can't even say I'm Bott there's no I and there's no B there's my the M of God is is simply to bring forward what the aish is to touch and be touched right godliness touches worldliness World we're able to touch godliness but there m and because there different M you have the M of connection the lowest M the second m in this is and the highest in a different use different there's there's hel there's there right A lot of these ideas are the same and the difference is only in language but to align them to align the language of our which is the lowest level esas the middle level andas the highest level to it's very difficult to do um because they may not align in very very even shelves so to speak but in general often times the ideas are the same the form is different so let's start from the lowest level what does theas meanus means godliness that's revealed to the world its function is to reveal the that's its function theas means godliness whose purpose is to reveal the abish to the world so what's its connection to hasem it's connection to Hashem is it's in revealing Hashem now revealing Hashem to the world is a relationship with the world but it's revealing hasem to the world in the kind of way where it's not a thing that's separate from hasem and separate from the world that's introducing the aish to the world it's the face of God it's the light of God light of God which is revealing to the world but its connection to the is its service is its purpose its connection to the is it you take away from it's not anymore it's more than it's so although we're dealing with the fact that the M of is whose is it's considered the lower level what's above is a funny concept CU his cases means tying two things together like a n which is why in some places I believe his cashes is lower than vas but there's one thing about a KN which is mentioned in t than one place that when you make a there double than redoubled so for the purpose of this conversation let's call his casasus times deusas on top of multiplied by itself so means my bit is in so if my is in I have no other than but I have so what's times that I can't even reveal the that because of the attached of the to its source it's so that you can't even be meaning to sayas means the nature of the B ofus is that I reveal hasem to the world and in revealing the world I'm so to speak representing and I have no of myself other than that representation and that's my b in is not even a but in his like in there's to use the but the over here not God and godliness there's which is so connected to the that it can't even show itself to the world but at least you're identifying as they being attached to Hashem and then above his is means a point at which godliness and God are literally one and this MIM is going to present us a thesis onus on levels of godliness and levels of yish that are all about revealing the to the world and then his that means levels of yish the level of revealing the the world if you will that're all about being so deep and so high that there isn't even a Gil and ultimately levels of levels of really not but which are and this fancy schmancy philosophy is going to be just opposed against the life of and what we're going to find is that the lowest Madre is lowest level beginning is higher than in the beginning of his life is starting point from the bottom up is above M which is mindblowing but as he lived his life he grew Higher and Higher and the culmination of his life as you know by is the day his his and that day he says that's my whole life emph so the m is going to develop for us what is and a number of levels inas the is then going to move on to explain to us what is is in various level of hisas leading to a full comprehension of what was during his lifetime and the idea that he reached and then the was gude by saying every year because we're this is to the m I'm ready to teach the M itself now okay it's out of PES in a Jewish house which is why there's a a change of scenery but the my m is the same here we go began to speak and remember is having this conversation in the on the day of hisus as describes in that he called together the remaining seven people including himself and his son in the seven and he told them explicitly that the purpose for this meeting is to speak and in the O of is going to be actually goes through the whole that he revealed and it finishes with the as we all know the story is talking to the people closest to him on the day of his and he says reach out to my friend my beloved thirsts for me how many people could say so he was his just for a few years from the time until he went to which may have been a year or two from but he continued being the which is 10 more years after that and during the time was he was originally but by the time he was I think he was living in and Al would visit him there and um there was a Tish on a Friday night and the AL who has place was in the corner of the table was still where is the AL the so they told him so they get up from the table and he went to the sh and he slipped off his shoes and he stepped over to the AL was standing and listen to the and he came back in and he said he's rejoicing with his creator and his creator is rejoicing with him that's the of and then he added and when he comes back to the table don't give him any more covered treat him just the way he wants to be treated like one of the people as they say in English his time will come soim so now explains how explained what it means that every day that I was connected to this world in other words tied down to this world I was in a position to attach myself to with one KN one KN would bring me to the and you have to say the not only could become connected but he was becoming connected because of this on the day of his when all the things that are written about it's like aab it's like of a whole life now goes on to explain Asim was explaining to his his own all of my life I've examined the G my my desires to be in a which means a praise but you know the is translate from the word the word be included in and it's reminiscent of his said call the entire is being fulfilled in me because today is in a condition of becoming one with becoming inflamed with and becoming de with the now all of these three Expressions deserve meaning but in this just regards the which are lower levels and he speaks only and as I explained you my introduction that is higher than the lowest level isas as you'll see in the M the middle level is his which is the one that the Z said that theim defined himself throughout his life and the which he achieved the day of for the duration of his life all the days of my life the word is the word not because in Aramaic the test and the shin are interchanged like it says the the tied on the son of who put out his hand first and then the second came out of first but the older son has put his hand out and he's called it says that she the the uh Midwife tied on his hand a right a red string if you look at footnote bring one and that the second is hard and the first because it's connected to so brings here only the higher of the two says a not two things now understand you listen to my introduction which I didn't make up it was if it was made up that is already is already that godliness comes on into the world for the purposes of Gil so the fact that it's Gil makes it into a it's about revealing to the world but it's entire reality is it's expression of the abish that has no eye that's vas his kasas is even higher than that that's like double vas but still there's some kind of as you'll see in the so when it says over here it doesn't mean or a sh or a world in it means even is which is godliness and the Mad which is equal to higher than which is the Baseline Madre lived in so to speak his connection to was which is equivalent to the godl and the god are one but it's still because even though higher than is there some kind of which is noted ever to reach and again notice that the does not discuss in this all we all understand that during his lifetime he served you have understand what that means you're dealing about a physical human being a of whose reality was spoke about a tape was and he knew and he knew and according to this that's what his means but even the in some way there's something outside of and the day of his he reaches even high becomes even though when you learn that the level of becoming one withus which our m is going to flush out by going deeper and deeper and deeper only passed away his whole life he was his whole life he wished that he had a connection to one other words the should make him one with the and you have to save on a Which is higher than and he wasn't able to reach it only till that's when he reach still says it's Pro in that even being W with which he only achieved he had a to every day of his life moreover he touched it and he reached it called also during his lifetime it is only Hess in the area of being was not fulfilled till this day which is so although the basine level he want toet as well and a footnote eight he brings the since he wants to be he's already there and N he says to say that should be tried and failed so you have to say that although he says he did not reach somehow during his lifetime he already had it and he brings two the first is from the moving Des learning learn and this was his vocation of course means it's all you do you learn day and night that's some people that they have and if you have a you don't need a you don't need their whole life is T but when it speaks about it's a real the real you don't do anything and the comes by itself not from not even from it comes directly from and because it comes from it comes and it comes correctly the first time like the explain the other words he didn't only he was Behavior because he learned day and night he was because T was his key not just to but to his physical living so explains the highest levels which is you learn and without any means as if you're higher than the and you're bringing the down just like you have in from that there areay that their is to bring the into the world not to bring themselves close to the because they already they're called but to bring the a into the world which is the m so that's here it's int specifically when they learn T if they're higher than the t and they're not learning T to connect themselves to and I guess on some level they're not even learning T to connect the to they're learning T to bring the into the world evener learning was in such a way a lost they're learning to go up and become connected to the and so on and when explaining that he connects to being one with a flame of fire with achiev he passed away that was his life and connected I don't know why he puts out of the I don't know you have to probably look up the but the is saying although which is quoting says right I wish and I didn't reach it here the saying that that was where he lived he lived in which is the T from Heaven to Earth the top down which is the it's like most people the way you learn T first first you don't understand and then you understand so it's not first you don't understand then you do understand it's the and through the through the of the which is the which is the which is called and a second proof even his whole life not just he passed away they bring the words other words a lot of don't make the distinction that the is making here in and they automatically connect although was his Baseline level was the level reached only but the seem to ignore that and they put the two together even the level which was the Baseline level which is which as see in the next p is higher than but it is only we have two proofs first and second from an attitude of the not to be particular about separating the from this and putting them both together so his whole life had a to the of being one with IDE that was not revealed until the day day that a person passes away there's a culmination there's an ascent and including in the source of everything the person did during the course of his whole life whatever you do during your come and the going to come back are going to commemorate their yard because their yard is did during that year then it was fully revealed the idea of that the isn't only which is only which called in the previous paragraph even though you're talking about and even though you're talking about the above the but there still some kind of a concept of of two so establishes and he tells us that the is the whole life of even though the fullest go of that idea was only day P Bas and I guess you can say the goes backwards right we we establish who before we continue explaining is we talk about the three and then his and then so is going to be and then gim and and a and at some point we're going to move on from and what's going to be the second she which is in and we're going to move on from and as you'll see there's more than one in each let's in order to explain the difference between only reaches the M of but his whole life is defined by that because of that hunger and that Pursuit like it says in footnote 8 and because of what says in the and so forth so let's first go back to even lower than and before I gave you a long introduction to the m and what I did was what I did in that introduction was explain to you that all of these are Level there's no B here there's no being which is separate from the abish which is joining with it's only beings that are already with and the sh is only how one with is is one in a way of Gil his is one in a way where there could be a Gil but the Gil isn't there because of the and means literally one is there can't even be a possibility of as I explained you at length of my introduction pref for in order to explain his let's talk about is the term is used in to denote the connection between superficial things external things that means things are really separated like the used in the previous page as a girdle as a belt is attached to the thighs of a person so the term that to denote the fastening of the belt around the person's is vas so the joining together of the belt and the is called vas which on the one hand CHS how close they are on the other hand it CHS that V is a limited connectedness now I would argue that when it says over here it doesn't mean a it means with because you're dealing with you're not dealing with but next to his and certainly next to his it's called between which means a girdle G and the thighs of a person the loins of a person is is the secondary level of the person and accordingly is is deeper is used in the context of is used in in the context that there was a connection between the of yank and doesn't say it says the connection not it's not the another words so although is also relatively speaking it's relatively speaking it's now is every is explained twice as it is an and it is an the whole which are for which I already did in my GL of term series I went over them and each one I explained in two ways as they are in and as they are Inus we're talking aboutus so means godliness and God but godliness and God means that although godliness has no other than that it's revealing Hashem has no mat besides for the fact that's expressing what what is but because the idea of attached to its source and not having it own means that there's there's a form of separateness that the form of separate is not because representing the so that external form makes it way I don't know how his becomes hard but this how this goes so the way I explain this cases to you and this of course I said that is like it's like on top of which means that you have such a strong that they can't even be you have and and the purpose of but because there's a higher his so the in a lot of places but relatively speaking V Inus shows how the godliness is revealed and therefore it connection to its source although it's a connection that I have no mat other than my source it's called and is above now of course the part that's so overwhelming about this entire is we're talking about a person and we're saying that his level of existence was and he continues and he says it's what separates soab is going to be andus is going to be his now you'll see later on page is going to connect it to and he's going to say that a which is also which is before we continue I want to make one statement about carbas when you talk about carbas there's two ideas one IDE of a carbon sacrifice and sacrific is you're burning it up you're destroying it the of what is being sacrific is broken down and but the way explain it is that first you have to destroy the animal you have to burn up the animal and after you burn of the animal you bring the person close every human being is a combination of a person and an animal and every carbon in 100 places all the carbon is being brought from ourselves and there's basically two steps in the carbon the first step in the carbon is to get the animal out of the way by destroying it and the second step in the carbon is that after the animal is destroyed theam comes near when he's talking and and from destroying the carbon this is beer this is this is lower than this is M the idea that it says here that carbon is Vas and is higher than vac is the second step of after you destroy the and the only thing that's left over is the coming close is is higher than that so in other words the M of which is representing something quote unquote so low as is the higher the Jewish people have a relationship with like it says in the this is why represents the outer heart andbon is the approach of the outer y to the outer B it's an outer and meaning it's not the outer year that's struggling to have a relationship with the it's the outer year that's approaching the in a very deep way in a very Peaceable way but in a way that's connected to the struggle of the before this it's lower than this after you sacrifice the animal the men the human being the emerges and comes close but it's an approach of not of higher than that turn to and is the same as the word because we know that in in Aramaic test replaces a sh that is K which is why in the in the soul of the human being is the inner heart what's a difference between the outer heart and the inner heart the answer is simple the outer heart is connected to the mind and the inner heart is connected to the soul like it says in many places including you look in footnote 25 he bring several and doesn't bring the and he say the difference between the work with the outer heart and the work with the inner heart is the work with the outer heart is a reasonable type of a and since I'm serving the in a reasonable way it's a p connection but it's a limited connection and relative to higher than it's considered and then he makes a statement which is very disturbing since the love is based on reason there could be changes in it now of course what does bother some about this if we're talking about the m and evening about how could he say she knew him is it's a big on this other words if is also is just a higher also so I wrote on the margin like it say that there's no time because time has do which has do with there's no and something called it changes over time not because deteri because they decided that it should change over time the same is true when it says over here doesn't mean deterior it doesn't have to mean that it deteriorates it doesn't have to mean that it breaks down slowly it could be that it's growing but the mere fact that the sh in it is as opposed to serving with the inner heart which is a connection which is not based on the Mind reason therefore serves on a level of loving him and the love was not coming from his mind but the love is coming from his soul that that love will never change it's always the same and that's the difference we turn carbon isus is higher than because me they come close and I'm already tied approaching shows that I'm separate and have to approach it's only closer to could be farther away he certainly could also be closer and means a which never is broken which shows a connection to which always exists and never changes this a which is in the of a person which is a real that's what makes it there's no there's no changes what makes a which you're not allow to make is because it's a never changing so means that it goes away and me no I don't think you could say that that's the over here means that it stops and it doesn't stop I think means grow but the fact that limited allows for growth which is a bond between and B his never changes me better because it's number one beginning to this distinction between a connection to as called that although the is also but it's relationship with is called and it's also but a deeper so we described in serves that carbus is approaching the with the mind and the heart after you've quiet the is approaching they're both and they are different stages in ascent and there's a stage where the is fighting with which is before what's being described in the and then after that fight is one then there's a peace approach which is and after that there's idea in a way which has do with the not with the mind and if it never changes that's a third but just like we explained the three levels of if you will which is not in the mind and the connection and the more p connection as relates to says there's also the difference between connecting to level of and connecting to the the level of but you're still connected can be explained by the difference of that is going to be and are going to be as you'll see to develop over time so way it breaks down is that andbon are and in the would be andus would be his and he continues and he say in terms of the giving us from Heaven to Earth the godly power to connect him with empowerment from him just to represent the lower level vas and the higher level is it's t and t is going to be his and which is is going to be now you know from that MIT are are the limb are the so first of all the C ofos are alsoas they just called theas built in now as the M unfolds and the argues that there's a Madre of to which is also on page so you're going to be able able to say once you get to that that when it says over here that it means like and when it says about but in the meantime which is above and so you have to say the MIT doesn't only mean the means the and the which goes into the K which means the Mitzvah and the to of the mitzvah how precious are with or said backwards gives us a that we should have AAC with him why why your me with only now remember what doas mean representing you're one with the except that you're one with the is in a way of what he called You're revealing the so he explains the connection because the godliness brought down through I like to translate as indirect and called are in embrace the light which brings forth HS it Embraces the person doing the Embraces from the outside which is the now I don't know how to explain the connection between and and because is about which is and Mak means hel so theas the way to bring together these three ideas mitz and is to say that mitz are Cale and C is is built in just like Mak is hel but in the meantime that is so included in MIT has to be not just the but also the equivalent of the or the to of the Mitzvah so how was that Mak and how is that I'm not sure but which is the is a deeper kind of said earlier on page that and and also brings the so means that we ingest it and ingesting it means that it's revealed that we experience it which is right written by the [Music] interconnection the connection like it say as will be explained later in this now according to our understanding that es means connection to which is all together above so he connects here he's saying that it's not is higher which is what means in other words it's a level of connection between the person and godliness which is above Gil woman to some extent and that's the idea of so I guess you have a question on both right by mitzvas he calls it and he calls it for to has to include also and calls his is and we're explaining it above the now when the is going to explain later that there's which is these uncertainty are going to resolve themselves because Reb is going to break it up into details but in the meantime if we're looking for trouble we have it and then he begins P he begins to change his mind right so far he said that MIT which is the C ofus and it's called cus because the is separate from and their is pus which is his which is which is des spite of all other questions but now in p and he's going to develop in the kind of way that is also going to include to and again once you say that includes to you'll say that mitz are like the which explains the word very well and is which is that's how I would explain it so he connected means two thing but like but their bond is like the bond of that we're representing him and nothing more to Connected not in the sense of sacrifice but the sense of coming close the the human being comes close to in a way says specifically as you see moment commanded the Jewish people to BR in a state which is the that have been brought earlier on page however which makes carban like in other words the problem is says something different the Jewish people Merit addresses the fact that the says that is through and lookn speaking SP called but you don't see are form onto themselves and the UN between and it's not a oness on a level where they're absolutely one in other words you're bringing it together two things that although when they come together they become one but they're not one of the kind of way that they were never separated which of course is very difficult to explain Inus but the is the very fact that and and specifically makes it somehow philosophically although actually not which is why it brings which is which means the girdle connect entity onto itself which is when speaks about being because they're called and they bring bring the and means reveals the to the world in the kind of way has no except reveal the union of on the it's one in a level of of course you can question this also because in a way of is not right it's not one with it's one level of but I guess next to is considered which is why he brings instead of bringing the brings so although before we said that and is now we're saying that both the reason why not only look at the words even a there no other than represent but represents the way of representing the ofil makes you makes makes so we're changing we're not saying that only or saying also is so we turn to page read respect remember the so the now changes his mind and he says when learns that before was called and was we're now changing our mind even the level of which is Manifest and revealed and in Foote 45 he says the fact it's included in the level of like I said earli is going to be explained at Great length in the next year which is so regular is also so we're changing first except which is called say to explain how although before we said that t isas and and the lower level but now we're saying that which I'm using the language from the other which called before and is which is but it's only and not and goes on order to explain this say now I want to say something before we read and it's based on the thean here at the bottom of the next page which goes on P footnote 49 which is connected to our the end of P um there's a and uh there is a discussion about something called the and there's also the concept of which is brought in and then as a mush for the idea of mut mut means an intermediate uh something that facilitates the bridging together from one and another now the reason you need the bridge is because the two cannot get together directly so you need a so the difference between the word and would be means to say there's a and there's B they cannot get together C is going to bring a and b together but the way C is going to bring a and b together it's going to compromise what a is to bring it to B and compromise what B is to bring it in in other words interrupts what one is to bring him to the second interrupts what the second is to bring him to the first because they can't get together by themselves which makes sense right if and the can't get together and you need a translator that translator has to stop what the is to bring something of the to he has to stop what the tal is to bring something of the tal to the which is the concept of a is a funny concept because means that there's an entity which is bringing together let's say the example of and talid in the kind of way where all of the is reaching the talid and all of the tal is connecting to the so then you scratch your head and say so why if there is an entity which can bring the two together without compromise why do you have to have a mut as I'll explain to you what mut means you'll understand so the way I see it from the is there three M there's a normal there's the M we use the mush of the and then there's the which is a third M I'm seeing m in three steps and I'm speaking about it here because what the Reb is explaining here about the difference between which we're calling and in the footnote he says that that's a concept of as opposed to comes into which is vas which is the so I'm using this as an excuse to delve into the discussion of in other words when you learn the of the there's no o this just he States a fact this is his is like this and is like this there's no but in this you have so before we read the discussion in tied to explain that is no longer MIT but at this point is and but there's two types of which comes into which is quote only end of quote and there which is quote his and the difference would be so how would you explain the difference the answer is the normal mut is you have two beings let's say a teacher and a student who are who are separated from each other in a finite way the distance between the teacher and the student is not infinite the teacher is obviously more knowledgeable the student is less knowledgeable but they live more or less in the same world and for whatever reason the teacher can not speak to the student directly it could be something as simple as language and the teacher doesn't speak the language of the student or because the teacher has a tendency to speak in abstractions and you need somebody to translate those abstractions to more manifest or applied forms which is easier for the student to grasp or alternatively the teacher may speak in very applied forms very slap forms and the student has a more refined mind so he needs a translator that's going to repeat what the teacher is saying to him in a way which strips away the Manifest form so you should see the so to speak the the spirit of the idea so the typical mut is really facilitating the bringing together of two things that are in the same world you need an intermediary or an intermediate because there's a technical thing that prevents the two from meeting directly that's the the first m obvious because the teacher can't reach the student the student can't reach the teacher even though when they're in the same world and this intermediate is finding the language or the form that allows him to bring what the teacher is saying to the student and to bridge the separation the second which also is on a higher level and this is we have the you have it in it's either and then it the some place more but in both places are the same and in both those instances is still but a higher level and that is what for example the sees and the T can only hear the has a which is so unified that it's like a picture like a lattice work like a panorama all the different aspects of t fit together into the beautiful picture and each aspect of T is in bringing forward of one detail from that unity and the student has no capacity to see the unity and TI he learns one idea at a time and as a result the way the teacher speaks things that reflect the unity that there is in his TOA is too abstract for the student to be able to understand because the teacher is maybe discussing one detail but he's discussing one detail as it's emerging from the unity the actus the picture the visual level of to and the student therefore doesn't understand what the teacher is saying because he doesn't have the context that the teacher has so there's a translator this translator doesn't see pictures he's not to the level of RAV he's far lower than the level of RAV but he's able to hear what the raav says and leave the's words alone in other words he has that unusual where when he hear something that's spoke to him that's above his level he doesn't immediately ruin it by the classic I in other words he's able to hear what the teacher is saying the words of the teacher and the words of the teacher are reflecting a manifestation an idea which is a reflection of a Unity of which he's only giving him a part this this transl has the capacity to hear what the teacher says and to leave the teacher's words intact and by leaving the teacher's words intact he may not see what the teacher sees but he's not adulterating what the teacher is saying he's not perverting he's not messing up what the teacher is trying to say so he hears he leaves the as they are leaves the teacher's words as they are and he tries to create if you want to call it a mini picture of the words of the teacher that reflect the particular aspect so in other words if the3 and the's teacher which is in a unified way it's a part of a picture like speaking about one one he leaves those words of the as they are he doesn't change them and he's able to go back to them so he's able to create so to speak a mini picture he's able to see not that what the sees but he's able to see in what the is saying the part of the picture that the is describing to him this gives him the ability to explain it to the students in a way that it'll reflect the truth of the teacher teachings because the teacher is saying something that's describing what he sees but his words are not communicating the image they're just communicating the description of one aspect of what he sees because this has that unusual gift that he can leave the words of the as they are and the words of the teacher as they are and he can revisit them time after time he creates a sense not of what the teacher sees but of what the teacher ising describing the part of the picture that's being described and he's able to explain it to the student in the kind of way that at least it's consistent to that aspect this is considered a higher level of mut because he's not an intermediate between a teacher and a student because there's a technical division between them he's intermediate teach and student because they're in Two Worlds and he he doesn't straddle Both Worlds he he lives in the student's world he doesn't live in the teacher's world but he has the gift to go back to the words of the teacher without needing to change them and therefore he's able to take something for the words of the teacher in a way that's consistent with the teacher's intent without fully understanding what the teacher is describing and share it with a student and this is the you have in he uses it to explain the idea is behind the and although he's explaining not a safe because the a safe is behind the and he's able to leave thefe alone in his he's revealing something of thefe but then there's this the second time has different rules really means where the intermediary is communicating from the teacher to the student exactly what the teacher says as the teacher says it without any adulteration and therefore the student getting what it is that the teacher is saying without any modification whatsoever the philosophy of is represented by the in other words the the way to explain a relationship between an intermediate between a teacher and a student the mush is to understand we're not usually in the habit of using a safe as a mus and a teacher and a student and a translator as a but that's the case here o brings Hashem to the world and there's three levels there's o that brings hem to the world in a way that it changes to suit the world that's called which I guess would be represented by the first Madre of brings to the world without changing that much but without adapting to the world so the world is able to get from it what it gets but the is not really give it on a worldly level and of course that would be sa of so the first level where the light is changed to accommodate the student would be which is called simps the second level is where the aid is not really changing to accommodate the world it's just being brought into the world as it is and we take from it what we can we be of and then which is called it's godliness on such a deep level that it comes from him to the world without any change and the world gets it just as it is it's the deepest level of godliness and yet it's the simplest level of godliness in other words it's not godliness trying to reveal anything it's godl is just trying to be present and because it's godliness just trying to be present when it comes into the world it remains exactly what it is and somehow the world get it gets it as it is the closest thing that I have as a mush for this is made get up in the morning the hands are unclean your mouth is to say because it has whatever it is say because all theas in the world do not contaminate the why because in its maximum Simplicity doesn't even have the's name it has the essence in it what is the Divine parallel of a what is the parallel on side of the and of course the answer is the idea of if you've studied you talked about so you know the whole question of and then of course when you talk about himself you say not that he's above the Hashem himself has nothing to do with tum he doesn't disturb the world the world doesn't disturb him and he's present in the world in a revealed way Justice he is and we sense him like it says in that's why because we have a sense of in other words there a relation with which is so simple that everybody has it and it's not simplistic it's the deepest relationship and it's the simplest relationship it's the closest thing to a mus from that I have it's godliness reaching worldliness like the Kana candles you know what Fe say you have to be quiet to hear what the candles are saying what are the candles saying the candles aren't saying anything so what do you hear you hear what is hearable when there's no noise when there's no noise you have just the simple truth which is the ab himself means the meeting between God and worldless on a level of That's So the godliness comes into the world just as it is no adap no adaptation no change it's pure it's perfect now it doesn't make any noise doesn't announce itself if you're listening you're not going to hear it but if you're quiet it'll reach you and that's the ti so the is gonna argue that that comes that is it's light and it's also we learn it and we're illuminated by it so although it's godliness coming into worldliness and earlier we called it isas now we're calling it because it adapts as it comes from a higher level to a lower level whether it's on the first level which is like or even on the second level which is like where they it's only there is still a degree of change as the godliness comes from the higher level to the lower level but the third which is called it means godliness connects Hashem in the world in the kind of way where it's presenting what Hashem is to the world as it is and accordingly it's allowing a yid to approach Hashem as he is and he is has the without any adulteration change it's very quiet and peaceful still it's before P so I'll give you this story I I i' I have have just a few stories that I use to illustrate this idea even though it's very adal and I'll be the first to concede that uh if you don't understand it I understand that you don't understand it so I it's hard to explain but one of the stories that I read is about rabie Simpson that he he was the secretary but he wasn't a secretary he went in with people to translate the's words during because people didn't understand what the was saying he was a very very ptic person told me that because if was saying a he would look at R Simpson Simpson was enjoying himself so much it would be he P like a kand so there's a video from where you could see Rabbi Simpson with his hands in his G like this here and you could see the he's p delighting in it his concentration was extraordinary and was was very deep and the man never said a word anyway so this is the story it's printed in his biography that his children gave out about 10 years ago 15 years ago that when the passed away the his wife 1971 the Reb discontinued the custom of eating the meals of Y upstairs in the's apartment with and the minion has had been done until that point the of course Very Much wanted that that tradition should continue he got to and the same is the and so on so he so he asked the and the told him alone with so he pressed he asked again and again in different occasions and also sent different to ask the to possibly continue making the one of the he sent was RAB Simpson himself r Simpson RAB Simpson had a problem to tell the no he couldn't to ask the he couldn't again so he walked into the re stood and walked out didn't say a word after put him was by the meeting of what's I already told you we're going be by ourselves I sent AB Simpson to ask so the re said these words yeah [Music] is which means he came and didn't say anything but it was a deep silence other words the silence spoke sometimes in silence you give out more than words could carry you give out what you are that's really the concept of what are relating and that's the mush to help understand what it means himself and then now the difference is andil are not at all the same when it comes to himself you say there's no at all right when it comes doesn't touch the and I'm not fully in comprehension of what's a difference between saying but it's not the same and is where you say this is godliness that just doesn't interface with the world it comes into the world it's present in the world and if you're very quiet so to speak you have a to it but it doesn't make any adaptation doesn't change it doesn't change on a level ofum which would be on the first level it doesn't change in a level of which the second level it comes in just as it is either you don't get it at all you get it exactly as it is that's a mus from there's an intermediate you need godliness to bring the abish and the world together but it's such a deep level of godliness that when it brings the abish and the world together it doesn't have to change for the world it doesn't have to change for so to speak it comes into the world just as it is and my last story that I always tell in the conjunction with this is the with the shoe maker in t Aviv that I read once in magazine that there was a that everybody knew was which I find very ironic and this was he had a wife and a daughter and during the independence War 48 there were snipers they were shooting across the streets other words if a Jew went out into the street an Arab sh if an Arab in the street of Jew sham and there was no food so he told his wife he's going to go to the baker his wife tells him if you're going to go to the bakery you're not going to come home so he tells his wife I won't see them and they won't see me he went to the bakery got the bread came home no bullet holes he didn't see them and they didn't see him now was aad and he was able to be as the expression is invisible but there's a way to explain this psychologically spiritually when you walk into a street where bullets are flying the sniper behind the viewfinder doesn't see you he sees your fear he sees them Fon the chemicals of fear that you send out what if you're not afraid like the M with the heart wasn't beating You're simply unseen not that you're not there you're just not noticed because where there's a zone of War and the stakes are simple death or life everybody is on very very very sharp uh level of their sensitivity so you sense motion you sense change you sense dynamism and if somebody walks through that space and is completely unaware what's going on and acts as if there's no tension and there's no stress and there's no hyper circumstance he goes unseen because he's he's he's not a part of the scene and that's why why of explaining what he said to his wife I won't see them I'm not going to be afraid of them so they won't see me it's a marshall for it means that comes into the world doesn't change at all it's not the way it is and on the one hand you don't see it on the other if you do see it you see it precisely as it is and in Madre has two levels like I said which is which is not which is which isall to so the here argu that a relative to mitz relative to but T also has t also has Revelation and in as much as T has even though before we call it thisas we're now calling it vas because if the T in any state of it's changed from how it is by the and it is therefore and it's relationship but is one with the one exception is the m that comes into the world without any adaptation any change from how it is so to speak in the essence and that becomes the M now let's learn to explain why we're now saying the is not just and only the the way it's not in talk about the knots that tie and notice the word but now we're going to say this two and the lower should not truly be called they should truly be called into the chain reaction of levels within the framewor of even though you're talking about Talk and of course is certainly but there are still steps somehow in the and and and because there are steps OU level of what's higher higher level OU level the deest LEL of to the pereral level of level of is connected to the lowest level of so there's a series of steps in the chain and although this is not a chain of ciper where one level is from the other level it's a chain of with the higher levels revealed in the lower level it's still safe call Safe a chain and in as much as a chain is a difference between one level another level making the lower level outside and connecting to the from an outer M which makes it as explained on the previous page this framework even though we're talking about the meeting of but it's the way there the meeting of the revealed level of with the hidden level of which is is the hid the real level of the Hidden level of the revealed level of the Hidden level of theal level the whole series of steps he lists the intermediate steps between and all of those steps reveal could dealing with but they reveal in the kind of way that you can call them a revelation in other words an adaptation whether a direct adaptation which we call the first type of or an indirect level of revelation which we call but in either case it's a because it's a and it's considered exist and it comes into without any changes the does not change but what that o is comes from the highest level the lowest level that you have to just be quiet enough to be able to hear it so the connection the lowest thing and the highest thing is although there is connection connected to the Deep one learns Ral on a level of in other words you're understanding t on your intellectual level now in terms of what your understanding is very limited in terms of how your understanding is can't get to the even more limited but in terms that in that understanding there is a on a level of it's just as present in a simple idea of as it is in the deepest idea of because there's no as far as the m is concerned says you learn on revealed level one level of understanding the lowest level of his is TI even the way he understands it to so although there's a series of steps between one level of and another level of and one level of another level of one level of and a second and that's cool that's and that's just Cas so think about this is any kind of meeting between two things where a change being affected to affected vas because as I explained you there's two levels in there's a lower level which M changes because it's all in the Realms of there's a higher level which doesn't change but it it leaves the source the way it is and it communicates some of it to the best of its ability so the change is partial or the source is hidden but that's also it's also a change and as long as there any kind of change direct or indirect it's only that's what means even though we're talking about godliness and all godliness does is represent representing and is godliness higher than higher right that level it brings together on Earth without any adaptation without any change so that is any kind of bringing together two things of godliness not just in Gil but even in hel where there's any kind of change so if before meant so is an what could possibly be if the middle mad of the three which is the Ming the course of his life before the last day of his life when he reached the madga of come down into this and it's revealed it's present the level of which connects comes into even though we're dealing with and maybe even dealing with still is still part of the scheme of godliness coming into worldliness in a way on the one hand all it's doing is representing godliness but on the other hand there's a concept of change gilu which isev even the deepest dimension of this the way godliness which is so to speak above comes from into or above comes into in order to bond which is like the like still it's still only in the notion that there's a level of connection with which is called comes so he's changing that if I have to use my is not only a is higher than a every kind of so now you scratch your head and say if his is the of which is called where there's no comes from Heaven into Earth what could possibly be his but the shear stops now the she must be an hour and 40 minutes or longer so far and what's left which is three pages approximately three pages in a couple of lines is going to be the next class and then we're going to transition from theas to his from to from his to his and the final point of course is going to be that gives this to all of us as you'll see [Music]
