Good morning everybody.
Thank you for gracing us with your
beautiful delicious presence this
morning. Bad tin
vodder
25786.
So we began yesterday the
purim 1960 and we are up to
gimmel. Yeah. Chapter 3 in the in the
copies it's page 410. It's taken from a
cafer. So it's page 410
gimmel on the top of the page.
The series is dedicated by a dear friend
from Toronto in honor of
fulfilling the promise, the words of
Mashiach.
Thank you very very much.
[cough]
Okay, so we're holding right. So now
let's recall the main thrust after the
whole introduction of
the says that's when the raises his
voice because that's when the core of
the miracle happens
the whole thing is a miracle but that's
when the the core story really takes off
and theb asked a question from the
from the
that was that was a
It was a beautiful piece of the puzzle.
But that is not
>> Yeah, it was it was it was part of part
part of the story and it was very
helpful. But that's not in other that
itself he couldn't sleep and Morai was
taken around Shushan on the royal horse
and being honored would not really shift
anything.
Right? 12 months later the Jewish people
would be annihilated. It would have just
been a nice graceful thing that a Jew is
getting a nice reward for a day. Yeah.
What's really tric is when Esther put
down the case and told her husband that
me and my nation are about to be
slaughtered and she accused Hmon and he
had Hmon be executed. That was the
pivotal moment that changed everything.
And then after even that not then Esther
comes because that's Hmon is dead. It's
nice but uh you know a man is dead. It's
a good thing but the gay is still there.
Then came the second thing that Esther
actually asked him to change the and he
said he can't. He's just going to send
out a second letter that Jews could
defend themselves. That's
not only that
let's say the whole story of that would
have not happened. It wouldn't have
changed the story. In other words, it
added a very icing on the cake. But
let's say he would not sleep. He would
be awake. He would be able to sleep that
night and they wouldn't read and they
wouldn't reward makai. Esther already
arranged one party, two party. Esther
didn't imagine that is not going to
sleep that night and her and he's going
to decide to reward makai. It wasn't
part it was a very beautiful thing was a
gishmaka maybe you know it showed her
they know that Hashem is on her side so
to speak but that's not really the whole
story would have happened without it.
And yet the says this is this is this is
it. This is the this is the core
miracle. So this the explains based on
the
is not just referring to the physical
king but it's referring to the king of
kings that that nightm
could not sleep. Oh that's
that's he could not sleep. This only
brings another question. What does that
mean? He can't sleep. Every night he
does sleep. The night he doesn't sleep.
This the mind went into the whole idea
of the hashem. Hashem is your shadow.
Just like the shadow responds to the
human beings movements and gestures and
behaviors and positions and postures.
The divine energy is always responding
to us.
The face you show to the water, the
water shows back to you. The heart that
you display to a person is mirrored back
to you. It's reflected back to you by
the other person.
The same is true
between the and
representing and representing the person
here like the says
that the
lower world mirrors the higher world.
I'm sorry. The higher world mirrors the
lower world and reflects it back. So the
energy that we initiate, we create comes
back. The divine energy is always
responding. Hashem silk. So the person
is not just a passive recipient like I'm
here and I'm just a nothing and I'm just
waiting, you know, for some good masle,
but rather we are co-artners in the
story of creation.
In in many ways we can be the author of
our own biography if you know what I
mean. I don't mean writing your
biography. I mean creating your
biography. Then you can also write your
biography if you get a good deal. If a
publisher is really interested,
the has an expression in
a person is auterfore
the prophet is a different prophet. So
this is the idea the desire says when a
person Yeah. goes into works of
themselves to go into a place of deeper
optimism and joy and presence that's the
face that they experience.
So they're
sobb says based on this we can
understand the whole here over the
sleeping that it's
like it says wake up why you going to
sleep
even though he says
and yet that's in but he says
it's like a few chapters in between this
is 44 this is 121 but it's the same form
thehat is it depends on the posture and
the position and the state of the person
down here. From this he went on to
explain what is the whole union of
sleep. Yeah, that was the main point
that we spoke about that in sleeping the
whole body is intact. Not only that our
faculties are functioning
but you can't compare it to the way they
function during the day because when a
person is functioning during the day the
kas are functioning full force there's
an organ there there's organ there
there's they're organized there's
structure it doesn't tolerate lack of
truths there can be paradoxes that
coexist our mind simply won't be able to
tolerate it mashain in asleep in shena
the the kus even if they're functioning
but they're not functioning fully
things are mixed up there's no control
there's no order there's no structure
and the main thing is a person could
live completely in delusions opposites
work lies converge the the truth
truthfulness doesn't have to be there
>> yeah as you see it in the dreams of a
person even though you have wisdom there
and will and desire and hate and love
and everything is in the dreams the
whole personal ity comes out in the
dreams but it's not mud. It could be two
opposites together. It's not it's not
committed to the truth to the MS.
The first thing you see when a person
falls asleep is that they close their
eyes. That means that that's the symbol
of sleep because what does that mean?
The ability to be able to see things is
the ability of a human being to be able
to perceive reality to perceive truth.
Whether your physical eyes or even
deeper
it means being guided by a vision, by
eyes. Perspective. It's called
perspective. When a person can't see,
they can easily trip unless they have
somebody supporting them. You know, you
have a walking dog or a stick, whatever.
Because the eyes are what a person needs
in order to be able to follow a path.
not to get stuck, not to fall, not to
stumble, not to trip, not to go the
wrong way, not to go in opposite
direction, etc. Not to go into dangerous
places. The same is true spiritually.
It's the vision of what what is reality,
who I am, where I want to go, where I
need to go. When a person lacks that,
the eyes are closed. It represents that
they don't have that awareness. They
don't have the awareness, they don't
have the discipline, they don't have the
discernment. And that's the concept of
seeing and hearing. seeing and then
hearing discernment.
lift up your eyes to heaven and see who
created and then here
and in sleep both either don't exist or
a much more a lower a much lower sense
of consciousness
and that's why he says that collectively
the state of gulos it's called yeah the
collective consciousness of gulos that's
called a state of shina the world is
asleep just like you have individually I
fell asleep and when I'm asleep things
are very different than I'm awake
because I'm in a different state of
consciousness. I'm not even there.
Things are happening to me, but I'm not
in control. I'm not present. I can't see
it. The same is true collectively.
There's a state of the world is asleep.
A community is asleep. A family is
asleep. A home is asleep. Right? A city
is asleep. A country is asleep. A whole
world is asleep. That's what gullis
looks like. Cuz what is gullis? Gullis
means exile. So there's physical exile
and then there's emotional exile. I'm
exiled from myself. I'm in exile from my
own self. In other words, I'm not
present with myself. There's a deep deep
alienation over there. And he says
that's the difference of the bamed and
gullik was a time of gile. What does it
mean gileus? Gileus means that it was
easier or at least available for a
person to be able to experience the
reality of hashem in the world in an
embodied way awake. And gullis is a
state of sleep. We could all be here.
Everything is here. But I say
the ISIS are there, the miracles are
there, the reality is there, but I
simply don't have contact. I don't see
it because I'm asleep.
And that's the idea that the sha mata
the sleep l creates the shina as he
explains
and as a result of that you have a world
which is completely receiving its divine
flow from hashem and yet could end up in
paradoxical places.
Not only that instead of
instead of that reality should be seen.
The opposite is seen because I can
sleep. It's realities but the realities
you look at it and it doesn't it's not
true.
That's that that's what that's what
could happen.
How does waking up happen? So that's
what he said. There's always an that's
never asleep. Like it says in
I am asleep but my heart is awake. So
the zya says
so what does it mean my heart is awake
that even when the the sense of I is
sleeping there's al there's the
never never fell asleep it always had an
inner knowing an inner hearing an inner
clarity an inner discernment it can't be
manipulated exploited deceived
it can be obliterated it can't be
crushed it can't even be repressed it
could be hidden that the person does not
aware of it but the libby is always it
was always awake it's like that part
that never went into slumber, never went
into sleep, never had calm, never put
things that are not true together. In
sleep, I could put things that are not
true together and that's how I survive.
And it could even be exciting for a few
minutes or scary and it could work that
way. And what this represents in life is
that sometimes a person, what do they
call it in English? You could sleepwalk
your whole life. You're walking here
sleeping doesn't he's not talking here
so much the physical sleep. He's talking
the concept of sleep. I could be
walking, I can be talking, I can be
working, I can be making money, but
essentially I'm sleepwalking.
My consciousness is in a state of sleep.
So I'm not necessarily aligned with my
truth. Things that [clears throat] are
inconsistent work together. I don't know
how to discern.
I fall into potholes. I don't have a
vision of who I am, what's happening
around me, what's happening inside of
me. That an of is missing. My eyes are
closed. Even if my eyes are open, but
essentially my eyes are closed. I'm
blinded. I'm blinded by things. I'm
blinded by toxicity. I'm blinded by
addictions. I'm blinded by blinded by by
by bias. I'm blinded by whatever it is.
Anxiety, fear, guilt, shame,
all types of cravings, distortions. I'm
blinded
and therefore oblivious. Yeah.
So
ani could be buti there's something in
the heart that's a that's always awake
as he calls it that by every single
person there's the
which is always in its full potency and
its full perfection
and that's the from where neph comes
what's neph is the where you're
completely one and aligned with hashem
and nothing can take that away even if
there's so many blockages
when when you Find that nuda. That's
when you wake up. That's Ura cuz that
place was never asleep. So you don't
even have to wake up over there. That
thing you have complete clarity. There's
no distortions. There's no blindness.
There's no there's no there's there's no
hak anymore. Everything is very clear.
You could see reality as is. You see who
you are in your deepest place. You see
what the world is in its deepest place.
And therefore, you know what you want in
its deepest place.
How often do you have that moment? You
know who you are in your deepest core.
Yeah. You know what the world is in its
deepest core. And therefore, you know
what you want in your deepest core.
That's the nuda. But it's there. It's
there.
But there could be so many clippers in
which in which I'm asleep. So I don't I
don't I don't know about that.
That that's that that was the main the
main.
I was listening.
>> I tried not to sleep. Yeah.
It's not so easy not to fall asleep in
life. You know, it's it's sometimes
tempting to fall asleep because, you
know, it's you go into a dream world.
Yeah. You go into a dream world.
>> Huh? Yeah. Even the person who says the
sh Yeah. Sometimes he could sleep more
than everybody else.
>> Huh?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah,
you know, and everybody relates to it in
their own way, but we all know, we all
understand, you know, a person could
sometimes live our whole life and they c
they certain don't see reality. There's
a certain reality or sometimes very deep
reality that's just it's covered over.
It's literally the blind spots. My
brother once told me that somebody came
to him to consult him about something or
maybe I heard him say it in the class,
whatever. So the guy says to him, so he
says to my brother says to him, "Is it
possible that you have blind spots? Like
maybe you're not seeing something, you
know." So he says, "It's true. It's
true, but I don't." So he says, "Well,
everybody understand that people have
blind spots." He says, "Yeah, I have
blind spots, but I know what they are."
[laughter]
Right? But then we have blind spots and
we don't know what they are. That's why
they're called blind blind spots. Right?
So, so today's cars, even when there's a
blind spot, right, it starts shining a
light to tell you that there's a car
even though you have a blind spot. When
it comes to the psyche, you don't always
have that light that goes on. Blind
spot, blind spot, blind spot. The real
blind spots don't tell you that they're
blind spots. They tell you this is
vision. This is reality. And we could
deceive ourselves. And it's not they a
person's fault, but sometime I could
walk around my whole life and really not
see myself. Yeah. Somebody told me
yesterday that it's possible of they
they they felt it possible that a person
could look walk around their entire life
not see themselves because nobody ever
mirrored back to them their greatness.
Right? Sometimes people's impression of
themselves is completely different than
who they really are. The way other
people perceive them. Other people
sometimes perceive tremendous light in
them but they never they never saw it.
They just see themselves as a burden, as
a undesirable burden consciously or
unconsciously. They may not even
acknowledge it because nobody ever
mirrored back to them. Nobody ever
mirrored back to them their awesomeness,
their greatness, their light. So
important to do this for children.
Sometimes parents don't know how to do
it for children because nobody did it to
them. It's not it's not fake
compliments,
but uh it's it's really mirroring to
somebody their real real greatness in a
very deep way in a way that they can
absorb it. But sometimes people can't
even absorb it if you say it a certain
age. It's like
why you sign
you relate to this huh? Yeah. A lot of
us relate to this.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
What?
>> Just to tell them that they have
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's more
than words are important, but it's
really like believing it like seeing it.
Like I'm seeing something and I'm
showing it to you. Here, look. Look at
this in a very very deep way. And not
because I'm trying to flatter or feel
good about myself or because I heard in
a class that I should do this even
though I don't mean it. it because that
because the nervous system knows right
away like right there's a part of us
that always knows the truth. That's the
point. There's a part in you that knows
everything. It's just how it is. It's
it's channeling truth. That's the
prophet inside every one of us. The says
that when Mashia is going to come
every little boy and every little girl
is going to be a prophet. So it's a
miracle. Everybody's going to become
another you're a you're everybody's
going to walk around saying nava right?
We are we going to hide
>> deflation of
>> deflation of nua right thehat is thehat
is when the antennas are cleared up from
static the antennas are there when
they're cleared up suddenly this starts
channeling you start channeling so
there's a very deep seeing a very deep
knowing a very deep experiencing but yet
I could walk around my entire life and
I'm sleepwalking I don't see I simply
don't see I don't see my reality and
therefore I can't see other people's
reality And not only that, I substitute
it with other realities in order to make
it work. And I could completely be
living in that space and maybe nobody
even challenges it. So I continue
sleepwalking and that's how I live. And
if I'm feeling a little tension and
anxiety, I have my distractions to get
me back on track walking towards the
abyss. Yeah. They say uh
they say that there was a politician in
a certain country who said I have great
news for the country. Yesterday we were
standing at the edge of the abyss and
today we took a giant step forward.
Yeah. So take taking giant steps forward
is beautiful if you're going in the
right direction. If not maybe it's time
to go backwards. I'll call upon him.
This is of when the person wakes up and
as he says because
so therefore Hashem is
Hashem is the heart of the Jewish
people.
It says you're the rack of my heart
forever.
That's Hashem. So when it creates that
same trigger, that same response
that there's that flow, that connection,
that that intimacy.
Now,
can I just trouble you for one of the
blue?
So Tiliv Gimmel he was basically
explaining the deeper meaning of balah
that night the king the king of the
world as it says in alki couldn't sleep
and explained what that dynamic means
what does it mean that he is asleep is
asleep some nights he sleeps some nights
he doesn't sleep and how it's reflected
as a result of the person's avoid that
was the main and that's why the last
piece he got into the
I am asleep and my heart is awake
because this represents the path from
being asleep to waking up. Now
here
the mime takes a turn a big big turn
and goes into the story of
so I want to remind you howim works is
the story of two people
ani
a young man and a young young woman it
takes time it's it takes place in
it takes place in the spring season
when uh this this the trees come out of
hibernation,
the botanic world wakes up, animal life
wakes up.
The the sound of the dove is heard all
over the land. So there's a time of
freshness, you know, a is is spring.
It's like nature wakes up from a long
long slumber from a long like after this
winter after this winter it's like wow
we could walk outside you that's the
feeling so there's a freshness
everywhere the deer are celebrating the
beers are celebrating even the squirrels
are celebrating the chickens are
celebrating the doves are celebrating
and of course the trees are all singing
and of course the young man and woman
also get very excited and that's where
they meet and there's a very very deep
chemistry as we say in English that's
created and the rest of is basically how
they connect and they separate and they
connect and they separate and they
connect and they separate five times and
each time it's a whole other drama
what happens exactly
and it's very very emotional very very
emotional there's a very very deep love
but there's tremendous blockages you
could see it constantly if you ever
learn shashidim shashidim is really
something that is uh you You know it's
it's the
says
there's a kesh it's notes
is it called does it belong in the
because the only book doesn't have
hashem's name and there's no word about
morality nothing about mitzvah nothing
even migillas s doesn't have hashem's
name but it's a story of it's a story of
divine providence you can't help but see
that all the other of this this his
instructions come this is how you should
live this is good this is not say for
mish whatever
it's just it's a love story it's just a
love story and doesn't even say that
it's a mush so they said doesn't belong
was excited he wrote a book say
the other books of are holy
is the holy of holies.
The world was not a worthy place until
the day that was given to the Jewish
people. Very interesting. Rashi brings
this right in the opening of
Rashi says
the world was not a worthy place like
the day that was given like the day was
given changed the world. Very
interesting
right?
Why?
So not only did not agree that this
shouldn't be in the he said this is the
essence of everything. THIS IS KADESH.
ALL THE OTHERS ARE kadeshim [laughter]
and of course all the
so you're talking about
right you talking about
>> uh you say they didn't execute. You say
well the Romans did but not for this.
Yeah.
>> Yeah.
And of course what is saying is that the
whole story of it's a story of kadesh.
Not only that. Yeah. You can ask a
question. Why did other not feel that
way? And the answer is because you don't
see it in.
So is really saying that it's a mush. Is
a metaphor. But could have written the
nimshell, not the mushel.
What's the big deal? And even if he
wanted to write also the mushel to make
it more interesting, we learned in
basilani about parables and stories. So
write at least afterwards the niml mayor
gave his but he would explain the mush
or at least people wanted on that. We
hear there's no n it ends with no nim.
The maf go into the nim.
>> Huh. So thehat is thehat is that the
mushel itself has an what was revealing
is
that like what we learned in basilani
that in the mushel you have the more
than if you would say the niml
and if I tell you the nimshell I'm
already limiting it the mushel here's a
story do with it go take it take the
ball and run it has in it the essence of
the story more than what you can
articulate if you would articular ate
the essence of the story because then
it's limited to that certain form of how
much you can explain.
>> Yeah. Right.
>> Yeah.
>> Or maybe it was done in a special way
that we can interpret it ourselves.
>> Yeah.
It's you interpret it for yourself and
it's an endless interpretation based on
where you are in life and it's not
limited and it has in it from the
essence of the relationship and that's
that's one point. Another point here is
what is saying is that what is really
teaching you is this is the key. The
relationship
between the man and the woman down here
in the world is kadesh kadash. In other
words, the deepest relationships here in
the world are the relationships that
reflect
the kesh kadash relationship between
Hashem and the person. It's not two
worlds. I'm not giving a mush and I'm
really referring TO HASHEM. THAT'S NOT
HIS POINT. I could have spoken about
Hashem. He's not afraid to speak about
Hashem. He wants to say something much
deeper. Earthy love. Earthly love which
some people see as impure and not nice
and not holy and this all that.
That's
why why of course there could be
dysfunctional things and painful things
and sometimes things that are not clean
because in its essence the only real
love the mo most deepest enduring love
down here between the male and the
female is an embodiment of divine love.
That's what it really is.
>> Yeah. That's what it really is. It's an
embodiment and that's when it's going to
be real and powerful. When it's an
embodiment of divine love, then it's
going to be real love down here also.
So, it's not two worlds, it's not two
realities. That is the essence of love
down here. If it's detached from that,
you're not just detaching it from
divinity, from religion. That's not the
point. You're detaching it from itself.
>> So, you might not experience love unless
you experience
>> Yeah.
or both ways.
>> Why is both ways?
>> The the the real relationship the real
relationship with Hashem
used to say that a hashem and a are
really one.
>> Yeah. It works this way and it works
that way.
If you love God, you love Jews. And if
you love Jews, you love God. Not
everybody likes to hear that. I love
God. I hate Jews. [laughter]
I scream.
But in the office, business is business.
You got to backstab. You got to
backstab.
So it's like somebody telling me,
"Rabbi, why I love you and I hate your
children.
You keep your love to yourself. I love
you. I hate your kids. I love you with
all my heart, with all my soul. Your
kids, I hate their guts. I'm not looking
at them.
So how much do you love me? you I like
my nose. What do you like,
but I hate your kids?
They once asked, "What's deeper? What's
a bigger?"
And I think it doesn't say, but I think
it was a trick question. They wanted to
like they think he would say which means
you understand like
>> huh like a trap question. What's what's
a bigger mitzvah? Because he was so into
but he like Hashem comes first, right?
started said classic he said
is aasha
what's bigger gammor or rashi rashi
there's a competition there rashi is
explaining the gammor
is bigger than gamar is bigger than
rashi rashi is explaining the gamarra
they're not in a fight exactly not
exactly in a fight who's who's more
important you or your wife [laughter]
your son or your daughter who's more
important
said
it's
a push of a
hear what he answered.
It seems simple but it's a that's
I'm going to tell you something. I'm
going to explain it to you. Avis is what
I'm telling. I'm going to explain it to
you. What is a hashem?
That's
[snorts]
and then he said
you love what your beloved one loves.
In other words, in a real relationship,
I cherish what you cherish. It matters
to me even if that itself [snorts] is
not something I even know about. But the
love means that I cherish that. I
cherish it.
So if you know that God is crazy about
this, so you're also crazy about it.
>> The only way you can love
is
>> of course otherwise
>> otherwise.
>> You're right. And that's the it's really
the you see that's why it's a what are
you really loving? You're loving God.
I told you when somebody asked me I
mentioned self- loveve in a so he said
this is a new religion no nowhere does
it say in the whole to love yourself
doesn't say anywhere
>> huh [laughter]
>> very good that's good
very good
but I told him you say it three times a
day he says I don't say three times a
day which religion do you do
you don't think you're part of What?
That's your problem. [laughter]
Says not you. That's not you. You're not
part of him. Says
not you besides you. What do you think
self- loveve means? Self love means
what? I love my ego. I love my watch.
Well, I love I'm in love with my tie.
What I'm That's what self- loveve means.
I love a pimple that I have. I love my
hairo. Fine. You have a nice I love my
What? What do you think self- loveve
means? What's self? What's the self that
I'm loving? What's the self? My shirt.
My is my bank account. What am I? My
car. The tires on my car cuz I put it in
a in a in in
we went through a car wash place. So,
they're sparkling. Self- loveve means
the real self. The real self is the
divine energy. You are divine energy.
So, so, so here we come to this what is
saying. And so that's why to experience
real love with Hashem
it's through the person and especially
in a relationship of of love of the man
and the woman and the opposite
that in the real love between the man
and the woman brings you to
you can it allows you to experience a
hashem even in a deeper way.
>> Yeah. The bos even says somewhere talk
about michal it's very classic the bashv
the bashv says what's this whole
phenomenon of love in the world this
like vintage what's this phenomena
remember in the bash's times that's when
romanticism started to uh blossom
the world started to wake up from the
slumber of oppression I mean relatively
speaking we're still waiting for
redemption but you know enlightenment
and all that and there's a whole
literature of romance and love it's a
It's later it became even more intense.
So what's this whole phenomenon of love
in the world and very often you know
love can be very messy. I don't have to
tell you
uh could be very very messy and a lot of
murder in the name of love and a lot of
violence in the name of love and a lot
of brokenness in the name of love and a
lot of jealousy and hatred and
intoxication and dysfunction. I mean
love is an intense reality. You fall in
love and you fall out and you fall. I
say don't fall in love. Climb in love.
Don't fall into anything. Climb in love.
Don't fall in love. You fall in, you
fall out. You fall in, you fall out.
Shut. It's also intoxicating, you know,
especially if you're wounded and you're
in a delicate situation, place in your
life. It's it can get very promising and
it shles you into something and then you
know you're sleeping, you're
blindfolded. So bash said like this.
Bash said that uh there was a king was
always a mashalam of the king and he was
a very special person. He was really a
lover. He loved and he wanted to connect
to somebody and it was somebody that he
push was crazy about. But he knew that
if he walks into this guy's a pasha to
mench he lives in a little little faka
hut somewhere in a forest. If the king
walks in it's going to be sakum. The
guy's going to have a heart attack and
die. He's going to be overwhelmed. He's
going to go crazy. So what did he do? He
wants a relationship with them
>> as a friend or as a
>> as a friend. As a friend, he loved this
person. So he sent a he sent a messenger
dressed up a very simple person with a
letter and saying here [laughter]
this is a letter from the king to
prepare him to be able to open him up to
this relationship. So the bos says and
now you have to figure out the nimil and
that's the whole phenomenon of love in
the world between men and women and
everybody else. That's what he says. You
understand what he's saying? He's saying
that God is crazy about you. But the
problem is if infinity lands into my
heart, I'm like, "Oh, I'm done." So God
sends messengers. What's the messengers?
Every time you experience love in the
world, it's Hashem saying,
>> "I love you. I want you to feel love. I
want you to feel my love."
>> Emoji.
>> It's his emoji. Yeah. It's his emoji. So
you're walking in the street. Suddenly
you had a of a Right.
What's the biggest tragedy? The biggest
tragedy is the guy falls in love with
the messenger. [laughter]
Falls in love with the messenger. You
understand? They tear up the letter.
They tear up the letter and that's it.
So, he was about to have the gift of of
royal infinite love and he settled on
what? Yeah. On a halfbaked potato that's
going to be rotten in a day. That's the
tragedy.
He doesn't realize this was a hakana.
So the only way you can really suck the
marrow out of love on earth is if you
know that it's a manifestation of the
divine love.
That's the of
and that's why it's called
says in kesh is mdal right kesh is
kadesh means aloof sublime exalted
kadesh kadesh what's kadesh kadashim
kaidesh kadash means it's exalted from
being exalted it's above being above so
it could be down here too kadesh is
above holy kesh kadasha means it's even
holier than being holy. So it doesn't
have to be aloof. It could be down here.
So the real kadesh kadashim is not
platonic, heavenly, sublime. It's in the
earthly love between two people on
earth.
So if we extrapolate
so maybe our classic misinterpretation
of is also wrong because men is
maybe men and women are both messengers.
Good. Beautiful.
>> So it is not it's not it's very
is completely different interpretation.
>> It's true the is taking it a step
deeper. It's not just is the man is
hashem and the woman is and they're
they're looking to connect and there's a
lot of challenges but then there's
ultimate connection but even the man in
is also a messenger
>> and they're both and and that's the
point the point is that that
relationship is a manifestation
of the divine reaching out to the
person.
Why is this so powerful? Because
imagine, okay, in marriage, right, a
husband and a wife
searching for each other,
>> searching for each other, right?
Connecting to each other. If they could
be in tune with this truth that the
Basham is saying,
my search for you is my search for the
divine. Your search for me is the search
for the divine. That is where love
remains as pure as it gets. It remains
pure. There's it's not transactional.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Not for a third party for the divine.
>> Right. For the divine in you. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I'm searching for the divine in
you and that's what I really I'm looking
for and that's what you're looking for.
Right. Right? So that's what the bos is
revealing and that's what is saying the
of kadosh and that's what says the world
was not a worthy place until the day
that was given to the Jewish people. Why
so dramatic? The world wasn't a worthy
place
comes later in history.
He made the world a worthy placeh
it's all before
you have great people. You have no you
have you have great great people the
world is nothing the world is off THE
PLACE REALLY CHOPPED LIVER you see
chopped liver not nothing
to him garnished it's worthless the is
not a place
I told you
bad bad mistake right avoid
Bad mistake. God, let's move on. Let's
do some other things. This was really
This was like a real investment. I I
don't know what you were thinking that
day. You must have been sleeping.
[laughter]
Pun intended, right?
>> You were daydreaming and you created a
world in your daydream. And we're still
busy trying to figure out if it's a
dream or not, which is going to be the
he of this mimer. [laughter]
The whole world is mug trying to figure
out if it exists, if it doesn't exist.
>> Yeah, it's a simulation, a matrix or
not. I'll cop him. So,
but this now we understand the why
there's really two realities.
There's the divine reality and there's
the world. Helm the world comes from the
word concealment because the definition
of the world is concealment. It's
interesting in Kesh words are very
precise. The word captures the energy.
You have no better way to describe
reality than concealment. It's such an
insult. World is a beautiful word. The
world, the universe, the cosmos is even
a nicer word if you want to sound
sophisticated.
Ontology, pesmology, whatever it is,
the world cosmos. No, we call it ilm.
What's ilm amum? Concealment,
right? But that nails it. That nails it.
You want to know the reality of the
world? Concealment. That's what it is.
That's the reality. Now you'll
understand the universe. If you don't
know helm, you don't know the amm.
You're living in a fake world. You're
sleeping. You're sleepwalking. The
definition of ism. The moment you know
that, now you can start appreciating the
world.
So say
that is the best name for it because
that is describing reality. You're
confronting concealment.
What you see is not what you get. You
have to go deeper. You have to go
deeper. You must go deeper. So this
if it's so concealment,
who wants to live in darkness? Who wants
to live in concealment? When when gave
to the world, he redeemed the world
because what did he say? He said that
earth is a mushel for heaven.
The helm of is a metaphor. It's a
parable for the divine connection.
Even that most basic feature that seems
so secular,
seems so unholy,
right?
The the experience of romance and love
is not something that belongs to
religion or atheists.
It it lives in the animal world. It
lives in the tree world. It's the quest
it's the quest for attachment. It's the
quest for intimacy. It's the quest for
romance. It's the quest for fun, for
enjoyment. Right? That quest, it's not a
religious thing.
Secular people would claim we have much
more fun. Whatever, however you want to
describe that, we don't have any
inhibitions. comes and says
is the day when the became kadai. The
helm of the world is not a helm anymore.
The concealment was busted. You know,
the code was busted. The bloom was
popped because in all the love you see
it's a it's really a mushel. It's just a
mushel. The body is a mushel for the
soul. Earth is a mushel for heaven.
Physicality is a metaphor for
spirituality. So just look a little
deeper and you'll see the metaphor.
>> I understood why only
time somebody could say
>> say why
>> because after was the influence of
Greeks
>> very good
>> Greeks are what did they say
have their own life you know here is our
you know folk about
it right and the Jews not any different
there's God out there you hear it's the
same thing just the difference is
>> we have many you have one
>> so But Arabic says no no it's not one
that is aloof.
>> Yes.
>> Exactly. Embodiment.
>> Yeah.
>> So yeah only after Greek somebody could
>> we spoke Kanek my Kaneka that one of the
the you know we don't realize we say
Kaneka was our victory on the Greeks but
it's not so simple. In many ways the
Greeks were victorious over us. That's
what people have to understand.
What does that mean? Not I don't mean
politically. I mean there was a there
was a besamed Judaism still survived.
But there was something that the Greeks
were victorious and that is they
redefined Judaism even for the Jews.
Yeah. There's a contamination in
Judaism.
It became logic a logical system of
gymnastics at least for many people.
Instead of Hashem being an embodied
energy
like the word God doesn't exist in
Tanakh. There's no such a word. It can't
exist in Tanakh. [laughter]
The verb there's no such a word. God
they turned even if you believe in God
it's God you believe in. You understand?
There's an object called a tissue box a
cup of coffee and God. Okay. God is big.
He's infinite. He's strong. He but don't
start up with him. I got it.
>> He exists and I exist. That's going to
be the of the here and that contaminated
the of Yiddish
even if I'm religious I learn but my
learning also it's an intellectual idea
and I can philosophize and explain more
philosophy
philosophy kills elus
not because it's wrong you can have
great philosophy you could be right
still kills it
of wisdom
>> it's wisdom it's wisdom it's not
embodied it's not reality.
>> Hashem was an experience. You understand
the difference? Today we people don't
even know what Hashem is an experience.
He's not experience. He's something that
I don't know about and I have to serve
him. Even the word serve him.
>> Him. Her. And then the feminists get
crazy. Not him. Her. Brilliant. Wow.
You're really progressive. You turned
God into a woman. Everybody's now happy.
So now the men are completely allergic,
[laughter]
right? And they used to say that to tell
ways that you shouldn't they shouldn't
have women telling the guys what to do
in the car cuz men are allergic to
listening to instructions from their
wives. So when the ways is a female
voice he does the opposite.
>> Especially directions.
>> Directions. Exactly. The worst thing
give directions.
>> It's not just learning.
>> It's experience living. Yeah.
>> When you see speak about Hashem, right,
it's hard for us. Hashem is angry.
What's really happening? What is So we
say he's not really angry. doesn't get
angry. Doesn't have emotions. We don't
even KNOW WHAT IT'S JUST HE WANTED. But
really, what's the
he wants to say God is embodied. It's
it's it's it's an embodied experience.
So, it it can be embodied in you. So
that's why is coming back and saying
is that paradigm shift that it's the
it's an experience of earthy love that
you're actually embodying divine love.
That's what it is that made the
we always have to make a disclaimer.
This doesn't mean there's no I could
take earthy love and completely sever it
from the source and it could become a
source of tremendous contamination and
uh and dirt and filth and agony and
violence and very immoral and impure and
dysfunction. We all understand that too
because every great power can be
distorted in the world. You know atomic
energy can destroy a world and can also
light up a world. That's everything like
that. Nuclear energy can go both ways
and love is nucle is nuclear energy. Why
is it nuclear energy? Because it's the
in you that's nuclear. That's what it
is. The power of love. What does the I
want you to understand the what the BMP
is saying. It looks like a cute verse
from the BMT. The BM is saying is the
power of love in this world is a divine
power. That's what it is. It's coming
from one place. It's coming because God
loves you. That's where every all love
is coming from. There's no other love in
the world. Blind cells didn't evolve
after 25 billion years into a
consciousness of love. They don't do
that.
You could leave this tissue here for
another 25 billion years plus another
100,000 years just for a little change.
Where's the consciousness of love going
to emerge from? Where? From where? So we
say we DON'T KNOW. WE WE HAVE to know
this. This is important because if not
we don't appreciate what love is. We
don't appreciate consciousness. And the
answer is every of love in the world is
gleaning its entire from
That's what it all is. Now the question
is, can I see it? Can I align with it?
Can I allow this love to bring me there
and connect from the bottom up and
bottom and the top bottom?
That's what the Ramban says that the
bedroom the bedroom is.
Where did get that shul is not
is not the dining room where you eat
chabas meals and you say is not is not
keshakadashim the bedroom is kadesh
that's what writes
the answer is he looked at the mishk
what was in the kadeshakadashim
two kurim [laughter] and hashem told ma
I'm going to speak to you from between
the two kurim you can't find a better
place [laughter]
from between the two kuv
Where's the communication between Hashem
and Mosha? There's a little boy here
made of gold. A little girl made looking
at each other and hugging each other,
which is
on a good day.
>> There's the wings. They cover [laughter]
the eyes. Don't worry.
>> At least there's [clears throat] a mita
so nobody sees a
creation. Huh?
>> This is where Yeah. Yeah. And
this is where the world started.
Yeah.
The the world started from there and
that's where every child is created.
That's the the evac.
So why did Hashem do it that way? You
know in the Christian theology and
unfortunately it's seeped in also to
Orthodox Judaism by many people is like
that world is a is an unholy world.
Now, it has to be treated with
tremendous sensitivity, but not because
it's unholy, because it's kadashim.
That's why it has to be treated with
sensitivity. You don't treat it with
sensitivity because it's dirty. And we
don't speak about animalistic stuff only
in secrecy. No, you treat it with
sensitivity like you treated with
sensitivity. Nobody went in there not
because it was dirty. [laughter]
You didn't open the not because it was
filthy, not because we're embarrassed
with kadeshim, because it's sacred. It's
a secret because it's a secret.
If you take it out of its secrecy,
you're desecrating it.
So says, I'm speaking to you from where
in the space between him and her theim
that's where is the gillus.
That's essentially the whole of course
it's of course it's kaidesh that's
because it's all the it's all in the
it's all like we spoke in basilani what
is it's all the relational field that's
what it is
so any experience of love in this world
is one that's hashem sending you a and
saying
>> I love you
you're the best thing that ever happened
to me in my life.
I know that if I just show it in a safe,
you're going to have a heart attack and
die [laughter]
and I would love to have a relationship
with you alive.
So, I sent you a woman.
That's it. I sent you a letter
>> or I sent you a man
>> or a child or whatever it is. The
mistake I make is right, I take the
lollipop and I forget the one who sent
the lollipop. That's what we all do. So
we eat the lollipop.
We eat the lollipop. Tastes good for how
long? 6 minutes. The problem is we don't
even know who sent it.
Instead of looking at the lollipop,
there was an address there. There was a
telephone number. There was an email.
Shait, [laughter]
don't invest in the egg. Invest in the
chicken.
You invest in the egg. It's nice. You
decorate. Yeah. You have a chicken. The
chicken lays you an egg every day. What
are you investing in an egg for?
The egg is going to be the player. Egg
is nice. I'm not knocking an egg. We all
we all love eggs. Good omelettes are
good. Very good protein. But there's a
chicken. You want to invest in a chicken
the same that's the mush that's the
whole ver of the mag with pifar. You
remember I told you the Chernobyl writes
that he had heard from the I think in
paras I think it's also in a few places
that was the of
the mag of mis it's mish like this whole
it says that when's wife was very very
seductive
and one day she him and she said
he ran away so the garra says in rashi
brings it that according to one actually
surrendered
does not mean he came home to do work.
It means he came home to do work with
her. He fell pregnant
and then he saw the vis of his father in
the window.
He ran away. What did he see exactly?
What is it? So everybody learns shot he
was about to sin with a married woman in
Egypt
and then he saw the image of Yakov and
he woke up so to speak from his sleep
like I'm not doing this that's yeah but
here you see the of just like the says
that all love is really a metaphor so
the mag says it's much deeper he changes
the story completely
And here you see it's like it's it's
like a shift of consciousness in the
whole Judaism. And this is the secret of
all healing today. It's not he wanted to
be with Pifer's wife, BUT HE SAW YAKOV
IN THE WINDOW and he's like, I'm out of
here. NO. IN PIFER'S WIFE, HE SAW THE
IMAGE OF Yakov
the Hu. He asked himself, what am I
looking for? What is this woman giving
me? What what is she giving me? She's a
married woman. I'm not I can't get I
can't get married to her. So I'm going
to be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes,
30 minutes, whatever it is, 3 MINUTES.
WHAT WHAT IS she giving me? There's
something I want. What is it that I
want?
>> Message from that still.
>> And the answer is she's giving me
something I'm looking for. There's a
void.
And what what is he really looking for?
He was looking for he realized he was
looking for beauty. He was looking for
he was looking for harmony. He was
looking for connection.
Who was Midas Satifer in the world? Who
was the embodiment of Midasiferas?
Yakov.
So as he's looking in Pifar, he didn't
get carried away by the lollipop. He
went in. He went in deeper. What do I
really? What do I what do I see in her?
And suddenly he saw he's looking for
Yakavino. In simple English, what I'm
looking for is I'm looking for a father.
I'm looking for a father.
Right? How often
I was talking to somebody about uh
homosexual they were struggling with
homosexual things. Yeah. What's the
biggest tragedy? The biggest tragedy
here is you know the whole liberal
political world hijacked this. So
there's no real science about this. But
in so many cases the person is not
looking for that man. He's looking for
the man in himself that he never
discovered. He's looking for
masculinity. Nobody showed him what
masculinity is. So now he sees this
powerful, strong, handsome figure and he
wants that connection to fill the void
inside of himself because of terrible
self-shame, self-loathing, self-hate.
It's not true in all cases, but it's
true in very very many cases. You're not
allowed to say this shalom, but this is
the truth. Nothing is going to take away
from this truth. [snorts]
>> Huh?
>> Yeah.
You understand? And the same is true in
every relationship. Yeah. I want you,
but what do you really want?
And it's true in every addiction. I want
this. What do I really want? Yeah, that
piece of cake. Do I need a piece of cake
for my health? No. What do there's
something in the cake that's telling me
something?
And the answer is there's something in
you. There's something you want to fill.
And Yseph's beauty and blessing was he
nailed it. So I'm really looking for
Teresa.
>> [laughter]
>> She's a married woman
in in in the search for her. He saw
he saw it as a marshall. She was a
messenger.
He says when you go outside it's
uninhibited. He got uninhibited love in
there would be confined love for five
minutes with her. He escaped the trap
and he went into an expanse of
consciousness because he got mid he was
looking for. And that's Jakeno. He got
the message.
>> He got the message. And once you get the
message, it's much deeper. There's a
pain there because the mush likes to
hijack. So that's
now
I got carried away here a little bit
with uh but this is now the setup.
>> Huh?
Yeah. For everybody who needs to get
married or everybody who's married and
wants to become a again and wants to go
on a honeymoon and remarry, you know,
there's inivition also. It's a very good
idea to have zivuki in it's very good.
>> Very good.
I'll call upon it.
So this whole setup of shiridim is this
very intense relationship that connects
and disconnects connects and disconnects
and it goes through different processes
in chapter five of
yeah and that's the the whole he of the
mimer is now going to go in to the fifth
chapter of hashidim we are it becomes
extremely intense and he's
this incredible is going to go through
all theim and show what they mean in in
life in aid
So chapter five begins with the famous
words.
I came to my garden to be with my sister
and my kala.
And then the next is
but I'm sleeping.
Now you have to know in who says what.
It's not always clear because it's all
like metaphoric. So who said is the
groom Hashem
I'm asleep but my heart is awake.
Right.
My heart is awake. And
that's the PK B of chapter. I'm asleep.
My heart is awake. And because my heart
is awake, I can hear a sound. And what's
the sound? The sound of doi of my lover,
my beloved. is from the word yidus you
did like a friend the best friend
you did nephesh of nephesh the the best
friend of my soul right the one who
wrote you did nephesh he his way how he
describes tom is you did nephesh
my soul's best friend now that I like a
little better than god no
>> my soul's best friend right you did
nephesh
But by us did is another niggan. You
know what I mean? You did
pastoring.
There's no more. They ate it up at the
new
heading is

I'll pay for it.
[laughter]
Right? By that time you did is over.
Okay.
Huh.
[snorts]
Or he put something in the coffee. Does
>> Oh, you made the coffee.
So
co I can hear the coil of
means pounding knocking knocking
open up for me my sister
my spouse or my shepherdi my my dove and
tamasi my my twin my completion like to

second
Why?
I'm outside and my head is filled with
dewy.
My here uh
is my here u locksa
are saturated with the droplets of
night. You know outside is a mist of the
spring and I'm outside here and my head
is wet and please open up the door. I'm
sleeping but my heart is awake. So I can
hear in my heart not with my ears in my
heart I can hear

and he says there's a reason I need to
come in my head is filled with dew and
my hair is filled with the droplets of
night.
Open up the door. Please open up for me.
>> And she in the sleep.
>> She's saying I'm asleep, but my heart is
awake to detect that there's a coiled.
That's B. What'sant?
Sorry, I took off my shirt already. I
can't put it back on. I washed my feet.
I can't get them dirty.
What does this mean? I'm in bed. I
already did took a bath. I'm already in
bed.
It's a thick down blanket and I'm very
comfortable. I have two pillows. I took
off my shirt. I can't put it on again. I
washed my feet. You want me to get off
my bed, get dirty? I'm not doing that
>> because not getting my feet dirty and
not taking off my shirt and not putting
back on my shirt is more important than
love.
And what happens next?
So is trapped. I'm not opening the door.
I told him I can't.
I'm in bed. Sorry. I'm sleeping.
>> It's bedtime.
So my takes his hand and there's a
little you know a little hole.
He sticks his hand in
and what happens?
And then suddenly I realized that all my
kishkas are stirred from excitement.
In other words, I didn't realize I
didn't allow myself to feel. I didn't
allow myself to feel. I had excuses.
It's a but once I saw his hand in the
whole mayi my intestines hum they got
stirred up from from excitement
>> butterflies in my stomach
>> the butterflies in the stomach it's like
wow I always dreamt for this but I
couldn't tell that to myself because the
pain
>> so he breaks it in
>> he doesn't break in he sticks his hand
and when she sees that her may her her
kishkas her intestines go crazy from
excitement
and what happens and
>> one.
>> Huh?
>> Yeah.
So, she jumped up to open the door.
>> Ah,
>> yes. And when I opened it up
and was not there,
see you. I'm searching and I can't find
him. And that's when she goes looking
for him. And the guards all tell her,
"You're a crazy cuckoo woman.
you need to be in a psych wart
and they hit her and they wound her and
they take off her shawl from her and
then she says
and that's chapter chapter five what is
happening here so you could see this is
intense you could see it's intense says
this is the of the
so this
does this whole this whole per all the
so that's the after of a libier in the
beginning of per hey what happens this
libby is detecting something
so let's learn another few minutes I
want to go through this this paragraph
we'll go a little faster
says
I listened to the tape last night of the
mime the beginnings of it so I can't
tell you the t the way the rebel
with such emotion.
The word
is the ethmology of the word is love
connection.
And so what's
represents the the word is a means
excessive infinite love which comes from
the de la it's not coming from a level a
frequency in other words something
addition to reality what's our real real
concern what I want is I want to know
that the love is coming from your
essence it's not like tomorrow you're
going to mature Sure. And it throw me
off the cliff. That's what he's saying.
Where does the love come from? It
doesn't come from a world, a frequency
which is more temporary or more
external. It's coming from the etsm
doesn't change. The core is etsum. It's
atmos doesn't change. Not it doesn't
change because it's boring. It doesn't
change because it's the core
authenticity. That's why it doesn't not.
It doesn't change because it's stiff.
It's not stiff. It's it's it's
renewable. It's it's it's infinite. It
doesn't change because it's touching a
truth that's beyond change.
It's it's a truth that's beyond change.
It there the whole Yiddish guide is
based and this is it. This is it. This
is the key that there's there's a truth.
There's a tr there's a truth that
everything begins from. And that's real.
That's very real. You could you can hold
on to that. You know, you could take it
all the way to the end of time and to
the end of love and it's going to be
there.
You're falling back on something. That's
Knowing feeling that the love comes from
there changes the entire equation. If
the love comes, you know, I'm having a
bad day. Say I fell in love. How many
people fall in love because they're
desperate,
right? They're in somewhere, they need
company. This person happened to be
there. Boom.
You're 19year-old, you're 19, whatever
it is, people, you know, you understand
all these things. Was your etim present
when you fell in love? How much of your
etsum was there? Were your eyes open?
Were your ears open? Was your soul open?
Did you know yourself? This aa means an
ava from the place of not from some
level or some energy which is also true
but nonetheless it's not
and therefore it could be dependent on
different things but this comes from the
and what is it directed to to the part
in you that's never going to change. So
it's both ways that's why you could
trust it. If I knew that my my your love
to me is coming from a mood, uh you have
money, you don't have money, you're
desperate, you need me, yeah, you like
me CUZ YOUR WHATEVER IT IS, I can't
really trust it.
>> And in fact, I'll tell you if you want
to know the real secret, okay, 90, it's
just coming out. I don't know if it's
true, you have a marriage therapist.
Maybe they'll argue with me, but 90% of
coup's therapy is one and the other
really asking one question. Is the ava
connected to the etsim or not? That's
really what it is.
>> Is it true? Yeah. Is there a caring? In
other words, if if your etsum came out
and my etsum came out, are we connected?
The moment the answer is yeah, you're
done with therapy. I mean, maybe you
need a few technical things.
therapist.
>> Yeah. Support the therapist. Whatever.
>> But this is really it.
Now I I know if you do this in the first
session, they're going to run away like
this guy is voodoo. I don't know what
you're talking about. So how do you
feel? How do you feel? What do you say?
What do you say? What do you feel? What
do you feel? You feel But hopefully
after a few months, this is what you
want to do. You take out this mime and
say, "Come, we're going to learn four
lines here."
That's what it is. If it's anything but
myim yours, it's it's it's flaky. Even
if it's deep, I'm not saying it's not
always deep, but it's not that. You
can't you can't what do they say? I
can't go to the bank with it. You can't
go all the way to with it.
So the says what's
that comes from?
Which means it's the beyond everything
and therefore the source of everything
and therefore not changeable because
it's the core of all reality. So it's as
authentic as it gets. If there is a
truth in the world, this is the truth.
That's what whenever it says, what does
it mean? It means if there is a truth in
the world, this is it.
That's what it means.
Doesn't add the word if. I'm just saying
that for uh for the cynics and skeptic
skeptics among us. Doesn't add the word
if, right? Huh?
is
hashem is
but that's what it is. If there's a
truth in the world this is it. So in
this deepest deepest truth there's love
and it's because it's him it's and what
is it directed to?
It's not directed to my moods to my
behavior today which will change
tomorrow. It's directed to my so it's
your deepest truth
>> unshakable.
So it's not like today I'm sleeping, I'm
not in the mood, you're not really
filling my needs anymore. In the past
the relationship, but it's a place that
goes beyond a need, this need or that
need. It's my to your and therefore
here you have black and white everything
I'm teaching you for eight years
not looking at the fact that this person
sinned and blemished and violated the
path
today's English means he went off the
derek OTD
there's a Derek and he bypassed the der
he has his own off the beaten track of
God
and it's not just he sinned he blemished
he's missing all the madregas he's
missing all the in other words he's
absent he's he's bl it's a blank he's
missing all the levels
not only he's not in a state of
not only is he not in a state
He's not even in a state of
he's not even my sister
as will be explained. I just see I'm
getting a call from my house. I just
want to see. Hello.
I'm in sh
and I'm going to come in a few minutes.
Why? What do you need?
>> [clears throat]
>> I'm giving a shear. What?
>> You ready? Oh. Oh, no. I'm going to come
and do it. Yeah.
I'm going to come home and do it. Yeah.
Yeah. You don't have to worry. You could
go. Huh? What?
Yeah. Mommy. Yeah. Okay. Bye.
Sorry.
So, he's not Tamasi. He's not Yosi. He's
not. He's not even
the continuation of the is going to
explain what it means. What'si?
It's it's it's stages. This person is
not. He's not even which is lower. He's
not even he's not even he's not even.
So there's no relationship
blemished. You did sin. You did left.
You did. You're missing
for sure you're missing. So for all
practical purposes,
our relationship is dead.
So So the Reb said in Yiddish despite
all of this because it's coming from the
and it's to your So he said in Yiddish,
in other words, pounding means a he's
screaming. There's an outcry. [snorts]
Open the door for me.
This comes from an
Hashem says, "I love you."
And this is an so it's unconditional.
The person will say, "But I don't I
don't have any connection. There's no
conscious connection. I don't care about
you. You don't care about me.
And then what's not that I'm naive, I'm
stupid, I'm blind, I don't know who you
are.
Is a brother of what does that mean?
If I look at you and you're TWIN
BROTHERS, YOU'RE LIKE MISH LIKE ASOV.
That's what we're talking about. Yakov
looks like as the says of
the he says they tell Hashem says I have
to ask. So they TELL GOD IT'S NOT true
because Jacob is a brother of Asov.
So why are you so obsessed? You don't
love me. In other words, we don't
believe in the love. We don't believe
it. That's the key. You could be loved
infinitely. But if you look at yourself
as damaged goods essentially,
I don't believe it. In fact, I think
either you're lying to me or YOU'RE
CRAZY. AND BOTH I'm not going to trust.
If you're crazy, for sure I'm not going
to trust you. And if you're lying TO ME,
FOR SURE I'm not going to trust you.
So you can have the most infinite
experience of someone loving you. In
this case, it's atmos. It can get deeper
better. But I'm like, God, you got the
wrong guy. Unless you're mashuga and if
you're mash any don't want a
relationship with you but to love me
let's face it or you must be so wounded
if you want a crackp pot like me. This
is what's happening constantly
subconsciously the self-hate the
self-lame the self-loathing that lives
in the templates of our animal soul
denies this.
IT'S not Hashem saying the Jew is saying
I'm like Asov. I'm Asov. YOU DON'T KNOW
ME. WHY don't you get to know me better
and then you'll run away.
In fact, a lot of people undermine their
love. They they undermine it because
it's too good to be true.
I can't trust it.
>> Yeah. If at least I put a wall,
I go to sleep. At least I will. There's
no betrayal. If I open up my heart all
the way, I could be betrayed all the
way.
I'm going to open up my heart and
there's nobody there. Or even worse,
there's a knife waiting for me. A2
brute.
Then Caesar falls. That's it. you don't
trust you're good. So deep down
they're identical and he says two things
either this moment or in this position.
In other words, this moment I could say
me and as are identical
in this state of life me and as are
identical
continues
of
nonetheless I love Yakov
not because he's not a brother of Asov.
He is a brother of Asaf. What does a
brother mean? A brother means that
they're actually identical. They're like
brothers. They're they're the same.
They're twins. Still, IN OTHER WORDS, MY
LOVE IS NOT coming because I'm naive.
Cuz you're going to do tomorrow
because I see that n it's not really
this. No, it's
true. There's no
and I see it. And you're telling me it
can't be. And I'm telling you,
Yeah.
How can that come from? That's called
for this you need to know your
and
is a different
>> Mats.
the part of you that sees
>> he is special because he's there. So you
would think that
>> you know what the villagon says on this.
Yeah. You don't know very
what's S.
So I don't hate as I hate the S of
the Gmorra says whenever it says the
word S. Huh?
S is for example
what's
put your flesh is
that which is subservient to your flesh
what is that the hear that's how we know
you have to put the here in the mikvah
why should I put my here in the mikvah
my here is not my body the answer is
because it says espec
>> that which attached itself to as
>> I the clip all the clippers that
attached like says always that as in its
source is and it's even higher than
that's why but the way the problem is
fell in as himself doesn't know who he
is so wanted to bring as back to his
core but he wasn't ready for that and
that's why the bra had to go to Jacob
and one day yakov will be able to give
it to as so the s asov the tuffle of
asov son
that which became of Asov which is even
alien to himself.
>> Right. So in a way there is a job here.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. But the word we see in very
negative terms because in our world the
world hatred is like evil,
>> right? But the truth is
those who are really in love with
goodness must hate evil. And if you
don't know how to hate evil, you don't
know how to love goodness. The reason
our world doesn't hate evil is not
because they're lovers. It's because
they don't know what love is.
They don't love. They just want to be
comfortable and they want to be moral
relativists and they don't want anybody
to mix into their life. So they don't
want to say that there's good and wrong.
There's good and evil. There's no good,
there's no evil, there's no truth,
there's no falsehood. It's all
perspective. That's why they don't hate
because they don't know what love is.
>> Yeah.
The greatest lovers have the most sin.
Not sin. They're not haters. They're
lovers because they're lovers. They
hate.
Yeah. When they see a child being
tortured, they hate they hate it. They
hate that evil. They hate the evil. They
really hate it. And to be a person, you
want to be a person, hate evil. Don't be
afraid of the word hate.
We're so afraid of any emotion because
we're not allowed to have emotions to
anything because the world has to be a
dead place. So it could be godless. So
everybody could be mis with every
mistress in the world and feel good
about themselves. And then of the
universe
what love is. Those who love God hate
real. They hate they hate evil. But
they're not haters. They're lovers. But
their love is not wishy-washy. Their
love is real. Because the love is real.
The hate is also very real. But it's not
a hate because I'm a hater because
they're jealous, narcissistic, because
of their selflessness. Those who have
real love have much deeper s.
But it's not there's no
>> because it's antithetic to love.
>> It's antithetical to the love. It's
destroying all the goodness in the
world. It's the love. It's real hate.
Real hate. Authentic hate. I'm talking
about real hate meaning divine hate, so
to speak. I don't know if I could use
that word. Is really love. It's all
love.
It's all love.
If you see a beautiful child and you
love this child and somebody comes Yeah.
with with with a knife to slice the
throat of this child,
what what's what's the most loving thing
to do?
>> Destroy him.
And if you stop and say he has a
perspective
and his mother didn't nurture him and
I'm going to send him to California for
anger management
>> and then maybe to Peru for a couple of
journeys
>> and he's human and he didn't have what
to eat last night and he has grievances
and nobody ever paid for his therapy.
Beautiful, beautiful emotions.
If he's not slicing a throat of a child
this is where people become they become
sick they become crazy
so a so now so this what's this the is
this aa that is beyond you can't say but
I sinned see the words of the
I want you all to understand this
he's missing all the madas and he's tak
missing it's not that he's not missing
We're not naive. He's mish like Asov.
So you deserve to be hated. So what's
the So he says, but this is the
from
which is to your
and that's what that's what the heart
hears. That's that's that's the that's
tugging on the heart in the in the plym.
That's
the guys. You guys feel this? You feel
this?
This is the key for everything.
All self-respect, all self-love, all
living as a channel with real love, with
real humility is based on this
and [snorts] and and and we have to
realize how deeply this is damaged in so
many of us. Not consciously. If it's
conscious, you could work with it much
easier. It's much more unconscious.
Of course, everybody says yes. God loves
you. Thank you, Hashem. Thank you,
Hashem.
But I'm talking in the experiential deep
deep belief system in our mind and
nervous system in our body.
It's much easier to say
You ask me say of course I'm worthy and
love me and I want of course we all want
to be loved but remember I want to tell
you this to young people don't know it's
scary to be loved okay [laughter]
to really be loved is scary you know why
because to really be loved in your
essence means that you really matter
and it creates the deepest forms of
responsibility in life because it means
that your energy is significant what
happens if you experience even for one
second that
is crazy about you what do you think
happens to you
what do you think you could never you
could never ever see yourself as again
the word I don't matter what I does what
I do doesn't matter
that's that's gone from your vocabulary
that's pretty hard
isn't there a comfort in saying
nothing matters
I sleep in. I don't sleep in. I show up.
I don't show up. Big deal. I'm just a
little guy for three weeks. I want to be
depressed. I want to eat potato chips on
my couch with Coca-Cola,
right? For three weeks. Watching clips.
Watching clips. I don't mean Rabbi Y
clips. That would be good. But other
clips with a couch with potato chips.
And you know that feeling you say
officially you have the flu for three
weeks. You have the flu.
What does it mean atmos loves you?
Atsmos loves you MEANS YOU'RE AT THE
CENTER OF THE WORLD. [laughter]
[gasps] It means the whole system is is
is invested in you.
That's heavy. It's it's not so simple to
say love me.
>> It's very heavy.
>> It's heavy. And if you're not feeling
the bliss
now, really it's not heavy. Really, it's
infinity. It's it's not heavy. It's
bliss. But but I want you to understand
the resistance.
The resistance is heavy.
>> The resistance is heavy
>> based on where we're coming from.
>> It's like Marishia when he was created
it wasn't like OKAY AND IF I DON'T GO IF
I DON'T SHOW UP FOR DAVIN YANKER WILL
SHOW UP FOR DAVIN. THERE'S A BIG MINION
IN Muny without me. Lakewood will
survive without me including Mayor Shar
and Benre and Kira Safer and Kiry Belza.
Everybody will be fine. I could stay
home. It's fine. I could watch TV today.
We're done. We're good.
When Donald Trump wakes up in the
morning, yeah, he doesn't say to himself
whenever, I don't know when he wakes up,
two, he starts tweeting 2 in the
morning, 3:00 in the morning from the
basis, whatever it is, when he starts
sending off his boscals after,
right?
President of United States of America,
you know, from the gatkas to the whole
world and the whole world because
and everybody has to hear about it,
right?
You'll forgive me.
Early put him this year. Yeah. The one
thing one thing Trump does not think is
right. I could just lock myself in a
room and read a novel by Toltoy or
Dstfki and the whole world will just he
knows.
>> Huh?
>> He matters.
And all the newspapers in the morning
are waiting for his mood to see what his
mood is 6:00 in the morning. What's
happening in Iran and what's happening
in China and what's happening in Israel
and what's happening here? What's
happening here?
>> Yeah. Trump from Trump you could learn
what's and every person has to say
sometimes maybe too much.
>> [snorts]
>> But that's really the what's
but come on we we say you're a little
little guy go to therapy and put your
ego in place cuz by us is narcissism.
This is a different nikuda. If you can
experience the love of atsmos in you,
there's no bliss like that. But it's a
level of responsibility. It's not
responsibility because of pressure
because you're a sick person cuz I hate
you cuz I want to put you in gehenna.
IT'S RESPONSIBILITY LIKE GOD IS
responsible
because it's your love. It's your
godless. Suddenly you realize who you
are. Love expands you. It doesn't limit
you. Love tells you you matter in the
deepest core of existence. And that's
what everybody needs and everybody
wants, but we run away from it because
it's too good to be true. And it's
intense. Intense it is.
>> Yeah.
>> Self-conident, but only to support our
ego.
>> Yeah. We want self-confidence
as long as self-confidence can support
our smallalness.
TELL ME I'M IMPORTANT, BUT ALSO add but
not that important.
You're important, but you can go on
vacation for 60 years. It's fine. YOU'RE
IMPORTANT. GOD loves you, but you're an
idiot.
You're important only as big as your ego
allows you to be important. Confidence
to support my ego, not confidence to
support my insight. That's that's too
much. Leave me alone.
So that's the
that's at the core of everything. And
this is not I sinned, I didn't sin, I
blemished, I'm I messed up. Those are
all important things that he's going to
address. Once you register this, it's
going to be fixed. We're not worried
about that. But this of
not because you're not a brother to you
are a brother to and you're identical to
Asov. It's not naive. It's not naive.
It's not because I don't know certain
secrets about you. If you would know
these secrets, what happened when I was
24 years old Tuesday night when I went
to Hawaii, you wouldn't look at me ever
again.
So God says, "I know and I was there and
I look at you and I see you and it's tak
but there's the that comes from
to your
and the moment I see that the love is is
infinite. It's a love from atmos
and that's I'm asleep but my heart
subconsciously detects coi
this is all the of the word doi that's
what he was explaining doi and because
it's doi it's a it's not a little tiny
knock like h you know you know when you
knock and you're afraid of the person
answers no no this is dikite
where did he get the word doesn't
That's what means. Means, you know, the
pounding on the door,
>> huh?
>> Search war.
>> Yeah.
>> It's not It's not hesitant. You knock a
little bit. If there's no answer that
you go away, you run away. So, you're
not caught, you know.
>> Yeah. Doik is I'm here because I'm here.
>> Open the door.
That's what the is saying. It's not even
two separate words. The ava says, how
does love, if you could put words to
ava, what are the words?
It's not two separate things. Now, he
comes and SAYS
THE DOIC is
if you put words to the bang, if you put
if you put words to the knocking, what
are the words? If you put words to the
what's the
is
allow me to love you. Allow me in. Allow
me into that place. Allow me to come in.
>> No, you're wrong. The big banglazi
is the doi. Why is it called a big bang?
Because the whole creation IS DOIC.
THAT'S WHY IT'S BIG BANG. WE JUST NAILED
IT. THEY think they called IT THE BIG
BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG.
REALLY? They were maven. It's the do.
IT'S THE BIGGEST BANG in the world.
There's never going to be a bigger bang.
And it's continuing till today. The big
bang. Everybody knows that. But you have
to hear it. It's not easy to hear the
big bang.
The heart still hears the bang.
>> The original.
>> The original bang. The whole creation is
what do you think creation is?
The whole creation is one big.
>> Huh? Now he had because I cuz I
mentioned the big bank. [laughter]
>> Huh?
>> Yeah.
>> This is it. This is it.
If you can internalize this,
remember I once told you I once
with one mimer you can become you could
be created big bang you just need one
big bang
he says to understand one mime you have
to learn a THOUSAND BUT IT'S
IN ONE MIME FIVE LINES is you know what
I mean four five lines.
But the challenge is not to not to
believe it in my brain. It's nice.
That's still nice. It's a hexa mitzvah.
The challenge the embodiment of it,
experience of it,
because without the experience of it,
it's still detached. It's just fine.
It's a beautiful idea and I like it and
I'll repeat it and it's even inspiring
and give me a few kas. But the
embodiment of it is a whole different
>> of course you have to understand it. Of
course,
but the main thing is midas, not
saying this from a perspective.
[laughter]
The main thing is
yeah you need you need a foundation the
belief system the understanding the
discernment
but people who think is about
intellectualism
have made and are making a horrible
horrible mistake.
It's nothing to do with that. Of course,
I told you.
Okay, we're going to take a break here,
my dear friends. Have an amazing day.
I'm going to be away. I'm going to
Chicago. So, we're going to learn next
week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 8:00
a.m.
Does Shabas not? No, I'm in Chicago.
I'm coming back Monday. So, Monday we
want to have a class. Tuesday have a
woman's class. So, we'll resume this
mimer Wednesday and then Thursday and
Friday and uh finish either Friday or
Tinus Esther.
We're going to finish before put
[laughter]
>> you see that I don't make up everything
I said. You see, I got it from
somewhere. Don't blame me. You can blame
the deb. Yeah.
Very nice.
Good.
him. Wow.
[laughter]
>> Very nice.
very
Asov wants Jacob to go with him
>> and he says I can't because if I have so
many children and they're young with
if I push them they're going to die
if if they rush. So Rashi says
like you're banging on the door like I'm
banging the kids it's not going to work.
So he's if he can't go with as so it's
galdi because
this is what saves from as the co
is
why he brings
>> no he was telling as that he can't push
them to go with him because they have to
go it was his way of separating from
asam it's just interesting
