to expand on and I'm not really sure I
have okay so well it's talking on page
three forty nine in the memoriam of
cotton vol 3 of the of the my mahram
that they collected of the previous
rabbit and we're about to go into the
details of the nefesh obamas what it
wants so before that he says and that's
what we're discussing now that the
nefesh eye balm is is a is - who - it's
the rationalization and and Coach K
needless to say the eight Sahara the
eight Sahara is an inclination Amida
annum either is already an emotion it's
some form there is you know palpable
enlarged immersion write a fairy meadows
were you feeling your heart love fear
guilt you feel it and as an actual and
as an actual body temperature difference
when you become anxious I mean you know
anxiety you start shaking you start
sweating you start breathing harder all
kinds of feelings are literally created
when there is a Yates ER there's an
inclination there's an emotional that is
that's that's already a a further step
and in this case a further step of you
know stuff
i-i'll of this dose I cry for this dose
I dance I'm happy for this does it sir
I'm Aiman Ayman a messed in in the
emotion there's a step before that that
we call that nefesh huh Bonnie's you
don't yet have the love you don't have
yet to fear you're not sweating you're
not you know you don't have any heart
palpitation
so you're not jumping up and down and
you're not crying the night laughing
you're thinking you're thinking how can
I justify it
how can i how can I explain to myself
the the desire that I have to drink lots
of alcohol giving you an example if I
drink lots of alcohol I'll feel terrible
I'll feel initially good but then I'll
have a hangover on this school I'll miss
work
I'll miss davenic I'll out you know I'll
be a mess I'll smell from the booze
people will know that I drank right all
of those issues through your mind so you
have to find now a rationale and the
justification to do that that's nefesh
obamas that's that that's that
intellectual drive that seeks to justify
the ugly and unhealthy emotion so if
someone asks can the nefesh obamas do
the emphasis is under nefesh obamas then
officially kiss the tanya is not a book
of mirrors
it's a big mistake Tanya's not Musa Musa
is a book of moral ethics and behavior
miss Alicia Sharon and such swaram are
all about leaders and very important for
them they should be learned and used and
all that but it's already a later stage
casitas Chabad as the Alta never you
know encapsulated in the Tanya and the
first 53 chapters is primarily dealing
with the drive the nefesh the the
rationale and justification and that is
why it's a very different type of
alerting a very different type of a book
and why it has made and can can make and
makes a change in a person even if a
person's a
the courts by the eighth Sahara's you
might say if I'm already caught by the
eighth Sahara and I'm already a mess but
in the web of the eighth Sahara how
could I change what's the answer
yoni your hands down please what what
what's what's how can that be the answer
is because emotions are emotions now I'm
gonna tell you for a second
I want you to think about what you're
doing and I want your justify and you
challenge yourself or you challenge
someone else's a good friend and they
won't be able to justify they think they
will but if you show them that their
argument is so excuse the expression
cockeyed it's so warped it's so
ridiculous so then they say wait a
minute you know I'm behaving in such a
emotional way when I don't have to
behave that way so this is why fasteners
spends more time on Habad on the brain
on the rationale then the actual emotion
because once you're already in the
emotional stage you're already a mess
it's so much harder to dear OBE yourself
from the emotion then to invest yourself
in healthy positive thinking and it may
be in modern psychology we recall this
you know cognitive thinking which I
personally am a big fan of and my book
your better self goes on that sheet that
follows that approach and I was in touch
with a prominent cognitive therapist who
wrote the new mood therapy book years
ago I think his name was Aaron Beck I
don't know if he'll that name rings a
bell to you I actually sent my
manuscript to Aaron Beck he was out in
Pennsylvania Philadelphia I think and I
asked the
ask them for his opinion and he told me
wrote he wrote back to me that he is
unaware of you know considers and Cibola
but he knows that it it deals with a lot
of the same issues that psychology deals
with and he was very glad to see in here
that that the Tonya that I'm writing
about in my book your better self takes
that approach so this is the in here in
one line and just in a very few words to
free the caliber by adding in the
parentheses should who harm open birth
when you see that you don't read further
you say the hello stop what and why does
the rabbit add these words and then if
you really wanted to go further why are
they in parentheses why they're not what
why parentheses that's that's called
real learning
you just don't read words and mimic
words that's the first step but to
really understand get to stop and not
rush and start dialoguing a poking each
of you questioning the other talking out
loud and you listen gives his input and
that's how you you can get a better
understanding when you learn vassilis
that's a parenthetical remark for all
learning of Castilla's now let's go
further because yesterday we spoke about
our Melinda woods siffredi LaRocca and I
was in touch with people from his
community his president and others and
I'm gonna post some things and if you
guys get anything for me or posted and
by the way you know where you're sitting
in September of 2017 rabbit Melanie
woods was the first guess I don't know
if he'll of you there no I don't think
so I think was anyone here there if
smooth was there I don't think any of
you was there baroque were you there not
sure
and it was Thursday September 17th mm I
think September 7th what a 2017 it was
it was
hi it was a test Zion the 16th of hello

invite every so often every few weeks a
guest lecture he was our first and he
agreed right away and I told him rebel
religions we don't have a big crowd he
says what crowd and he came and the
lecture was was was on was made a video
by Akiva Kent and I really acknowledge
him for those that remember he was
thinking of moving terraces row there
might be chairman she's never moved not
yet anyway
but he you know he's a photographer or
videographer and he was kind enough to
video it and it's on a website you know
the kollel has a website called colo
beth shemesh so if you go there you'll
see different videos that and and and we
captured his lecture and who would know
that that you know two years later two

end i was i was standing next to him and

illiterate so I got up I said give the
Kohler the brush up and he gave us a
brother so it's all along there you know
I think it's was his his his the Sherman

great lecture he spoke about you high
yellow and you know he he has a sense of
humor so you know that after every
birthday the Baal Shem Tov's and and and
then he brought the Halawa would pray
for his honor again ok the bottom in the
middle of the look there has to be
what's going on what's going on here

you were talking about whether the
monoliths came here and he gave us a
brothel yes I know I just finished and I

listen to you okay anyway so we're
learning here about where I'm page 349
let's continue so he says he brings the
Gomorrah that when the eights of her a
grab grabs on to a person must stay on
the face I meant to schlep in mind slap
him into the study hall have him do it
like let him try doing his dissing in
the study or let's see if he's such a
happy man if he's such a macho guy he
ate Sahara say okay come into the krail
oh and I'll do it here in the clay lo oh
wait a minute here in the clay little I
have all these wonderful tummy then
learning wait a minute I can't I'm a
little uncomfortable let me go into the
hallway that's lying to you Siva where
did we do all of our our bug me things
in the bathroom or the hallways or the
back of the building you know I remember
in Lubavitch East even Ocean Parkway
between H and I and in the winter when I
was 17 I was in base Madras it was very
cold so I would stay actually all week
and he she was even though I live 10
minutes away in Borough Park so I'm go
up that Street
forget what it's cool part Phil whatever
that Street goes straight up on the
nothing it wasn't parked was another
Street today they have that casa whole
what poster no not foster walk to the
left between our enforcer what way
doesn't fit me no not in this down down
towards every why there's one Street
where they have what mmm with so and ll
Elmwood Albert Street is when we had the
flights with the Italians the Italians
and us that we do sometimes they took
out knives there was a tray there was
trade the train tracks over there before
they built the big hall and the Lakewood
and and they say they're the hater bit
the building too big hey there you know
his over there so it's cover over today
the tracks but in my time in the 70s it
was tracks so so yes I remember stuff
but during the week I wouldn't go home
was very cold or snowing and I wasn't
you see with the whole time I loved it
then they fed us and so I went through
the dormitory the fourth floor of these
she was a dorm so I remember coming in
11 and 11 at night to going to sleep and
I saw some guys who I knew were on the
phone now what do you think they were
doing on the phone everyone's asleep
they were talking to girls everyone's
doing it but I remember like you're here
I am I'm this you know front boy and I'm
going to sleep and thank God I have a
bed to sleep in and and I have to hear a
guy who's you know goofing off over the
other phone but what's my point
my point is that the eights are harder
and you know he tries to hide this way
that way so let's see what there ever
says in the minor so he says here the he
neared the hanger that Asia stovic sort
of Muhammad as I maneuver labate some
ethics look at his language very very
powerful the first thing you have to do
is you have to slip Laham chip you Jeff
the drool and some maneuver he calls it
disgusting Novell is disgust disgusting
like Novell does show cetera she says
get this disgusting ugly beast into the
base Metris that's the first thing you
got to do but I'm shuffling he'd be
brought in and had
you do that you say it with words like
my lad I cannot see through the guys may
you tell him you tell it and and you
tell look it's better for you to be in
the shul in the basement that you know
why you got free coffee free t3 jokes
free combatted e it's don't worry don't
worry so much that it's a Schuler base
mattress you pick up a table in the back
you pretend you're learning and then
you'll gossip and then you put on your
internet and then you'll play poker and
then you check out the NFL scores from
yesterday you know but no one's gonna
know you'll hide it under your hat with
the receiver comp you make believe but
you get into the basement
so initially he comes to the basement
dish with shillelagh small it's not for
the sake of learning because I'll say
potentially with small Polish month
that's from not from from coming for an
external superficial reason because it's
warm and it's like an I can I can really
get a waste time over there and I get
said you know bow is smart you come to
the schmuck and he says that would mean
again potato this is I giving it a toe
so that one might keep yeah tell Sal
Ahmad he says he ain't you do sure look
remember were discussing here lays the
three levels of tater yogya Jerusha and
my tunnel so he refers now to the first
level of Title II that it's not a you do
sir why should probably tell you for
your gear you do comes without it
expert and an exertion but oculi to you
much so see time in this level of theta
is if you will toyou you will find and
you can be believed if you work hard you
succeed you sit on your loins you get
nothing you think you get something but
you get bupkis nothing
you work hard you succeed or shame is
the second level of pain is you do such
a potato this is the level of
inheritance with hesitate behind will
deceive it says made our sake he lost
Youkilis Plato is
tends to the communities of the
congregation of Jacob the Hokie he lost
Jakov and altar congregations of Yaakov
yes for him Dean betrayed Azusa potato
they have add-in and they are the laws
of inheritance from the tourist
perspective applies to them very
important point if it's a a a a Yakko
sanctioned tehila it has the the Euro
sir laws and guess what every year is a
Yaakov sanction tehila because he's a
Jew or she's a Jew that's why the trader
belongs to everybody
last night at the kiddo such looks on
David Friedman your ambassador right was
speaking he was the guest of honor
speaker and he said in middle of
everything he said it is speaking to
5600 sluicin he's saying that our boys
my dear friends if you want to really
make a difference in a balla bus learn
turner with them that's what rabid wall
away coos did about rabbi and the five
pounds the Cedars
he was started to learn cannot not see
this with Nakamura tonight and he said I
learned about Yeshua and saved him and
them I love him and everything else and
he says it helped me an understanding
leadership that's what he said yesterday
so my point is that traitor belongs to
every single year and never minimize the
fact that every year is Shia is
something able and and very much in the
realm of learning cater let's go further
and he says the image the tendency of a
lot of my show that Shiva lotion is
fabulous even though it says the traitor
see fellow new moisture that moisture
commanded us what is this word Seva so
in addition to literally meaning a
commandment
it also means of binding he bore his ha
Bruce there's a there's a word soft
SAFTA with he board shafts of the he
bore so the mid the word mitzvah meant
Sahdev of hey it's at
is also survey which means Tivoli
connection through a mitzvah right admit
sir that we do because the
commander-in-chief commands us to do it
we connect ourselves faculties vertical
via know the moistures repeaters - moshe
rabbeinu
it says is the level of das what is that
who I'm a cashier - rummages through
doctora just for a moment rabinal in oh
it's Oliver Sullivan in his memory I'll
claim something they shared with me no
one knows this I asked him because he
told me that he was a student at IPL
Khan was my rep because it is - and
that's one of the reasons he let me in -
sure and he was you know very happy that
to have me speak because I was up yours
Talmud so I asked them did you ever
really have any personal conversation
with him besides learning tanya in rabba
in the Muncie Julius Eve over there he
said one time he wrote him a letter and
he asked him what is the source for a
rebel what is the source you have a road
you have a rabbi you have a leader but
what's this idea of a rebel
so the bureau set the admitster chapter
two and Tanya without that bespeaks
about of nuh see a leader that's all he
said why do I say this because moisture
nabe no mention of a no is Micajah in
the show mercy throwback later he
connects and binds all the summons to
Plato without a mention I've been oh you
know and this is a very long discussion
but just very briefly that needs a host
here for itself both out of moshe
rabbeinu
my should i bei know is not just an a
good a big cuddle my pain is not just a
big grab my cherub a no is my
celebrating what does that mean he is
the individual that connects every
single soul in that generation - akagi's
burn a hole through what through tater
and this is the understanding of what a
wrapper is of mention obey no mention of
Boehner says - to Boas Boas listen I

there's a good opportunity for you for a
job and to do what you want to do as a
rabbi somehow and he was another babitch
ER and he wasn't a faucet he decided to
listen 2530 years later he retires and
he tells over how he saw the rep is
suggestion helped him so much in his
life
Alicia a banal a mission a beggar
doesn't have to tell you every two
moments do this because and you just as
an expression about filing from Spain
you know that means you have to get it
yourself you know you have to pick up on
it yourself
yeah we want we want to be spoon-fed my
friends we're all adults
we're midlife we have children and
grandchildren you don't I mean it's
enough already enough the pampering you
know and that's why I say to my
colleagues you know after that ever
passed away 1990
25 years ago and that ever said in in
1991 he said do whatever you can to
bring Messiah I've done everything and
it hasn't happened and everyone that
gets very very antsy about that you sing
something very simple
grow up I've carried you for 42 years
but this I've carried you grow up
it's time to stand on your own you know
you can't live in perpetual a you know
diapers excuse the expression perpetual
diapers you remain a baby good look take
your diapers or take a pacifier out and
go out there and the end but Hashem last
night with 5600 people you see
I the DEP is not alive and it hurts of
us it okay
cry left dance Bango hate jump on the
moon jump on this table do whatever you
have to do to get yourself balanced but
one thing's for sure that that you have
to understand that the moisture at bay
no in every generation and by the way
I'm not telling you who you might Sara
banal is but that there needs to be a my
celibate on every generation who is the
gas Hillel he says the word bath you
know what that says maturity charisma
and and and focus you have creativity
come up with a genius idea
you have beena you develop that idea but
if you don't focus and concentrate on
the create creative idea that you
created and developed Rubina nothing
comes from it and that's why what does
the gutters say to Gomorrah the kimono
says ain't kiss you yellow dots there is
no erection
she's the expression but there is no
erection unless you have does you can
you can you can understand and a person
you can develop the person you can you
could love the person but if you can't
focus on them which comes out in the
physical body and according to the
murder in the erection process if you
can't do that
your physical your physical limb doesn't
have what it takes to impregnate your
your wife and you have no and you have
no offspring from that that's a good
murder ain't kiss you yellow dots
casitas takes this come mother considers
doesn't run away like others you know
the Habad considers they cover their
eyes on the good mother of a well he
can't talk about the good mother
the hasidic says take the skin murder
and understand that in addition to its
physical meaning which is a world which
is necessary when you get married right
okay in addition to that there's a
spiritual counterpart and that is that
unless you have das unless you have
focus and conscience
there is no pecially there is no
everlasting result from your thoughts
it's it's it's unbelievable he's an
Einstein his Spinoza
he's whatever a great mind not that we
hold of Spinoza circles who's not the
greatest but I'm saying
you know and and nevertheless in
Hungarian they say yep you get that you
get no it's not that in Spanish nothing
FS God least goodness nothing so many
people is so bright and the sixteen uses
and you look at their lives and it's
it's I don't want to say what it's it's
messed up right it's goofed up it's it's
nothing it's garnished why because they
didn't they're missing the dice who
gives a ye Gus mr. Abady no mention of a
no because he was chosen on high for
Michaelis particle to be the rebbe reb a
new the river of Claudius Royal he
instills and opens up for a person the
ability of das and that's what they go
back to the moment that's whatever says
you for hanging of the motion should be
this - who are mccoshen - armistice roba
torah he who is thus he binds a connects
the jewish souls to torah he brings
together the soul and the torah the in
United Association Masada tuxes and the
idea that we are inheritance of this is
that we inherit the sparks the Sheva
next page 350 McCoy in the Seven Kings
to tell you of the world of boy said no
foolish reader that were that fell in
the in the street and the shattering the
vessels let's learn a little more than
talk the explanation assertion hey MA
mama love him these parts their source
are the Kings a Shamu will be added said
to him that rain
in the land of ether a dream with named
Ella with neigh malloy Mela when they
slow before they were Kings for the Jews
okay do that seven me there is the seven
emotional traits of love fear
compassionate section sure some machetes
sailesh to shame sag their source is
from the seven lower aspects of Hashem's
name known as 63 briefly the name you'd
cave of take which is called the
tetragrammaton have Sam you cave of game
can be spelled let's say you're right
you're a Berber i reviewed to be spelled
with two units or you can be spelled you
observe valid now depending on how you
spell out the four letters you cave of k
you get four different numerical
equivalence forty five fifty to sixty
three or 72 it's called my bang sock so
here he's talking about sock 63 then
there's a certain way of spelling you
cave of k will do the miracle agamotto
of that of that you can vote clearly 63
should tell you the cloths are cut them
out thick this is the world avoid the
world of chaos that precedes the world
of thicket why was there a marvel Berle
why was there a marble before we had a
from Aveeno cuz the world had to
experience bubble chaos why does someone
have to go to the drape that the
Grateful Dead
before he becomes a grateful year
because first he has to go through chaos
and so when he goes through the Grateful
Dead
he's be totally with sugar and death and
all the sudden he wakes up and he says
that's for dead people imma eat say it
becomes a grateful eat
so another ones you have to first go
through dead chaos Touhou
favo who write and our life is also that
way before you make it bacon business
you go through it down you lose money
you have headaches
okay you know here the sky from we we we
we works whatever his name
you know an Israeli out al Alex allowed
for Newman right make billions his
company went public went bust
he lost his pants they threw him out
they found that what marijuana on the
plane you know that's like that's the
worst sin of the world that he has a
little marijuana not that I'm a
proponent of marijuana I'm just saying
that you know anyway he was a whack job
they fired him he took one point seven
billion dollars with him off the table
and Softbank is keeping them on as a
consultant it's really great you know
okay they fired him but he just walked
away 1.7 billion not bad right what's
the point but he went through a chaos if
you and and other people they go through
chaos and so and and you know it's it
you have to have relapse luffa and see
after the schemata especially in
business especially in business not to
go not to lose your pants because it
says some picky others that Bob and the
hustle might but I get one line and
pinky others to me is a testament of a
reality that the more real estate you
have the more worries now does that mean
should have real estate yes you suit if
you're able to but create a situation in
which you're not invest in it you have
to be your as a famous vert that laser
from the previous Olympics hasn't
impeded in in tehilim mm love says I
think it's cook base I forget which
exact a bit we says and you gear capital
Quito hell I strap of the table off from
the effort of your hands you shall reap
and eat fortunate to tight lockers good
to you sense defeated could ever your
dear cup here so it doesn't say your
Guillermo mahesha
it doesn't say that your efforts should
be with your brains and cup cup offer
but then motion the cup that's leaking
and tighter that who that's linking the
guard has to be immersed in God and in
Torah only your hands have to do the
physical and and the investing and the
slipping and but the cop has to always
be free unobstructed
from the Garcias now doesn't mean to say
cuz laughter you doing investor than
after you buy real estate and how can
you invest in the market and how can you
have a job if you don't put your mind
into it we of course you have to put
your mind but not have your mind become
a slave to the fussing to the real
estate to the investment when if it
becomes a slave
that's a picture of assets Marvin the
house in Malibu Tiger what does it say
the answer to that beauty of us is the
word Marvin why our new hussam a vigor
if you're doing it with Marvin that's
what this might be the first of my
better what's my BIM multiplicity
meaning you totally go you like totally
involved where your entire brain is
occupied by than the fussing if your
entire brain is occupied you're gonna
have Tiger you can have worries and
anxiety if you can sort of pick up so we
learned wrong the fact we think pickup
is saying don't do business that's not
what it's saying it's saying do business
but remember that your cup your brain
your head should be always introducing
power let's continue another few lines
it says so he says L should know who'll
be srida what happened with this energy
it fell and it broke value days s I mean
it's a slap show before them before them
got from you and the sparks we're
talking here about the holy sparks they
fell into the physical world sit says it
said nagashi me since you have with
physical wool drilling the cloud gosh be
trilling with physical parchment fire

man the four kinds of the lulav the silk
