Hod of Hod – “Simple belief” | Counting the Omer - Rabbi Alon Anava | #sefirathaomer

And we spoke about that Hod, the term Hod in Kabbalah and Hassidut, it means Hodaa, to admit. And to admit the terminology to that is called Lemala Mesekhel, it's above my common sense. Cuz most people, for them, it's not so easy to come and just admit they did something. Now, when I admit something, this is the simplest and easiest way to express my simple belief. And most people they have Emunah, everybody has Emunah, but Emunah Pshuta, simple belief, it's not so uh not so common. Sometimes when people have that, they people call them naive or gullible, but this is not naive or gullible, rather some people are very their their Emunah is simple. They see things as they is and and they as they are and then they believe in it. And when you're looking at the topic of Emunah, of belief in general, is above any type of reason. Emunah means belief that I believe in something, it means I don't understand it in my mind. I so I believe in it. Like we believe in God. I don't understand anything about God, but I believe in God. So when I believe in God, it means that I have some type of uh Akhiza, a hook. I I kind of under- something about Godliness. This is called the Emunah Pshuta, simple belief. Now, what do I believe in God? I believe that God is created the world and that God created me. If if a person didn't come to this realization, that's already a problem. Most people who are somewhat observant or believers they believe that God created the world and that God created me. This is the basic belief in God. What other things what he did, that's already that's already uh a questionable to some people. But the simple belief is that I believe that God not only created the world, he also created me. Here, if you're looking at this world, so you see the godly light of the godly revelation in a stone compared to a human is different. The stone is inanimate and the human is developed and has his own mind and can speak and so forth. This is relating to open me, personal light, and each one gets a certain level. It's almost like when I relate with my kids, if I'm sitting with my 3-year-old, then you'll see me on my on my knees on the floor and doing all sorts of funny noises. I sit with my 15-year-old, already talking to like an adult. So, how come here I'm a goofy and here I'm mature? Because the 3-year-old needs to understand He only understands goofiness or talking in a slower way. Same thing with Hashem, how he relates with us, the more capacity to place his godly light, then the revelation will be greater. This is referring to open me. Or makeef or surrounding light or all sovev, this is the same for everything. Same quality of light. And this is the level that we cannot relate with Hashem. How can it be that God will enliven the greatest thing in the world and at the smallest thing in the world in the same level?
