we're on page uh
in the in the text that we're using uh
adam the mimer that that ever said 1940
and um we're in the last paragraph
chapter four
we're continuing to talk about
the official case the network obamas and
nephews
and i think today you'll have more
verbiage and ideas
to
help clarify
what we've been talking about so let's
let's just go right to the text and from
there we'll go
dalit
through the intermediary
so called the intellectual soul
it gives the ability to the godly soul
to explain
is to the animal soul hasageli keys a
godly concept
could you imagine
you're in university
you're
out there and someone comes to you and
says
there's a god there's tito there's
mitzvahs
hey you're a jew you look at him and you
say i know i was born a jew
but um
you know it means nothing to me this
doesn't talk to me
how is the nephesh obama able to hear
the message of the nephili kiss this is
a this is a basic question
that every one of us
asks needs to ask ourselves
and it's not only you know when i wasn't
religious or in
in my in my difficult parts of life even
in good parts
when you come to a person the sun's
shining outside it's a tuesday
it's it's the middle of the spring
what god who who's thinking about god
i've got to make nausea today
but no this is also godliness
i have to i have to cure patients
i i you know it's like
you know like i always say one of my
friends would always say when's the last
time
i heard from my nephew shelley kiss i
don't remember
the calling of the soul of the of the
neshama
that ever says here
that
without the nephesha sichlis
there would be a barrier and and there
would be an impossibility
in
for the normal average person
to be able to bring the message of the
nephesh of the kiss to them
it's completely foreign
and and different
than the nephew obama's experience and
interests
that's why we need an efficient service
we need someone
a a soul that takes
the necessary kisses message
filters it
packages right and
and and communicates it you know i get
all these clips i'm sure you do
and
it's amazing how
you know yiddish kite has been marketed
and packaged on one hand
it's so
different than the the messiah of the
past
for example when the art scroll gemara
came out
there was such an uproar about using it
and i'm not talking about khasid
in fact i would say hasidim had an
easier time using it
than the the lit the lit fox the
literature world
it was the literature world who
said this is a
abhorrent because it's a deviance from
messiah from tradition
yes rabbi you know that the the art
scroll
talmud was printed
in response to steinsalt's talmud
i i i am aware that i wrote about it in
one of my books
not just from what you hear here on the
street i spoke to a uh a couple casual
i shouldn't say that i spoke to a uh an
insider
who was
you know
like rubbish steins else's inside man an
israeli you know no beard from guy but
keep us regard you know as no kid i mean
he became more chabad because rubbish
dies but
and and and um i questioned him heavily
and i put it into
my book
uh in which i wrote about rubbish
stein's health and and uh the gemara
so
and there were other reasons by the way
i don't want to go into now got to state
a topic but there were other reasons not
only that reason uh and in fact i would
say that wasn't the main reason
uh that wasn't the main reason that was
just an excuse there were many there
were other reasons i'll let you figure
it out
but anyway that's what i want to talk
about what i'll say is
from their perspective
you know and i understand it i learned
kamada as a bucket right and what am i
used to until today
to take out a good murder and we would
say like break your head
russian tasters no hearts grow no
stein's elves just
and and to to me and to my genera you
know to the way we were raised if you
can't do that you don't know how to
learn a piece of gemara
and i i just want to share with you that
when you come into a
a straight laced you know
talmud
and you tell them you're using uh steins
out or an art scroll or this or that
they might not tell you but they laugh
at you they they're basically saying
you're ignorant
you're nothing
you don't want to learn
i don't care if you know shas through
stein's else or or art scroll but if you
can't figure out a piece of gemara on
your own that means you don't know how
to learn schneizel knows how to learn
and our school knows how to learn but
kai and dolphin doesn't know how to
learn i found i found the shots of uh
stein's shots in mayor sharm in a
dumpster i took it out i have it
all i'm saying is you know we don't like
talking about it but
you know you know sometimes you wonder
why isn't this rabbi accepting of me why
isn't this community accepting of me so
you have to you have to go back and
understand
we i'm not saying it's right i'm just
telling you where are they coming from
that's one of my basic
uh tenants in in my writing is i always
go back to the beginning i try to at
least and that's why it's it's hard it's
it's hard work of discovery to find so
if i want to understand issue i don't
look at israel today israel today is
gevalding and he's it was devolved you
know 30 40 years ago but i look at him
in his college years in his youth years
with his parents with his friends then i
understand the person and from there
i i i built the the building now of
course chuva and toyota and mitzvahs and
and it wipes everything away and you're
a new person it's all true
but when it comes to character traits
and personality
almost always you could trace it back to
youth
i mean it's it's
it's crystal clear
this i've been doing this for 25 years
i'm telling you it's crystal clear and i
don't care who the rabbi is and who the
topic is it all has to do with youth and
parents and and community and that's
what the frida kadabra writes in the
countries
that we learned which i can't emphasize
how important it is to relearn it those
that didn't learn it yet
what does he say he says the same that
could if you want to have success with a
student
success with a parent a success with a
student and a child you need to
understand them in their youth
from their youth perspective so people
like the person who just passed away
rabbi wallace was an expert in this and
that's why the loss is so great is
because how many educators
give the students
the the privilege to understand what
they went through
in their young years and what made them
and what difficulties come along and
therefore
to work with them so the same is over
here
the nefer shabbam is is is hardcore
animalistic and and and
natural in his desires the godly soul is
hardcore godliness
you can't talk to it
there are extremes there's no there's no
room for
comes the longer the fish are sicklies
which has a kind of an element of both
on one hand it's seiko
say intellect already is in the realm of
humanity
and at the same time it's leaning
towards understanding what's greater
than seijo i.e godliness so this type of
position
is able to open up
the the the head the cup
of the neferta bamas and i want to make
i want to point out something else
this is why the the type of
teaching that khabar is
very very important
because
we learned if you're if you're
emotionally involved with something you
can talk to your face as blue and bring
the best arguments and it's nothing i
told you
about 25 years ago in marin county
we had a guest
who was a professor at one of the
universities in in in michigan
uh and he was uh he became about to
shuver and he was very bright
and he got smikha
and he was a and and he became a bucky
in the uh an expert in the new testament
and i asked him why he said because
he wanted to schlep out his own
sister from
jews for joshua
so so so
and so he asked him and he spent shabbos
with us because he had a lecture that
was giving in the bay area
so i asked him no were you were you
successful
and he said to me
with with uh with a saddened heart no
and this is a man that slept out of many
people from cults
but his own sister he couldn't that i
asked him why not
he said because she was emotionally
involved
she was married to a guy to a non-jew
who's a yoshika person and that's how
she was caught and
and so her emotion wasn't going to
divorce him and leave him
and he said to me when that's the
hardest type of um
quote
revoking you know breaking up the cult
and slapping out of a cult is when
they're emotionally involved
i remind myself because what are we
saying here
that if you go about the nefesh obama is
trying to to touch its emotions you're
gonna lose
the emotions of fire and passion you're
gonna lose
what you need to do is touch the mind of
the nephesh obama's that's siddhis
if you can touch the mind in other words
you know hey
you you this is what you say to them
you said
that you want this and this
because this and this is its rationale
let me show you that your rationale is
erroneous
and you present a strong intellectual
argument
that makes them think
that's the beginning of the opening and
that's what we're learning here look at
the words let's go back to the text
the nephilim kiss explains
elaborately to the neferja bombings
hassoga kiss a godly concept
a concept that's
really full of god
and way beyond really the the the uh
the environment of the nephilim bombings
but because it goes through the the
tenets of sacral of logic
that nefesh obama says hmm
maybe i did make a mistake in my
thinking why i should drink my life away
and kill my liver and die like you're
like a you know
maybe that's not smart maybe there's
another way i can indulge without
killing myself right
so once you you get a little opening
intellectually for the nefesh obamas to
say maybe i made a mistake then you go
further well
maybe even drinking and not killing
yourself isn't where it's at because
maybe you can you know become a ceo of a
company make lots of money and you know
and be a
you know conglomerate and be great in
that way and so the arguments go in
other words the seiko
slowly infiltrates
the circle of the nephew of bombings
lifting it away and separating it away
from the emotions you got to get it away
from the emotions
and that's why
in a situation where it's a wife and a
husband that are married or boyfriend or
girlfriend and in relationships it's the
hardest the hardest type of
key role for thoughts or outreach is in
those situations
because they're emotionally attached
when you're emotionally attached you can
talk and argue till you you know the
best arguments you're talking to a wall
it's an addiction or like you only said
yes to someone said an infatuation talk
to someone who's infatuated
you're wasting your time
so how do you break the
i infatuation i had a case look at a
marine county i mean my wife and i when
we reminisce and think about it it's
like
i know this couple young child children
and i know he's a doctor and he was
successful they lived in this mansion
this fancy house and
and all of a sudden uh
he he comes to me and he says
my wife is uh rat was running ran away
running around with another man
now obviously you know something was
going on there
obviously but
from what i could tell he was like he
was doing his stuff he was working and
he was providing wasn't religious jewish
she became infatuated with with this guy
you know go talk it's like you're gonna
you're ruining your whole work life
what are you doing
but
saying that when you're emotionally
involved is very difficult and that's
what we're going through here when we
talk about the nephesh obama's and
nefertiti kiss
the nephili kiss needs to find a way
to communicate its message of god of
traitor of mitzvos
to the nephesh obama's and the only way
it can do it in
generally speaking like i said yesterday
there's always an exception to a rule
where a person could be walking down the
street totally
far
far from yiddish kite and boom he gets
what we call he said is true
and he says i want to be from i want to
be religious i'm leaving all the nourish
guide and he becomes about the shriver
yeah or someone has thrown besides you
know
enough for this you know
cheating and beating and hacking and and
enough of this i just want to
just want to be pure you know
it happens but seldom
more so it's through
you know through a friend explaining and
sitting and talking
or hearing a a good cheer and thinking
about it you know things like that
give you an example a friend of mine
tells me yesterday he's you know he's a
classmate and he's a tom hawk i'm a
rabbi
he says he read my book arabiyo khan
and he saw that i wrote there that if
you told me that the rebels my mauryan
the way rabbi yo wrote them down in 1950
50 51 52 53 when he was still
not married and and and a booker and
excited and
is is the better
is more authentic in the wording that in
the rebbe's words than the versions we
have today which is already polished
it's written in better hebrew
but it's not the it's not as authentic
in the actual words that the rebels said
and i felt that for the last 30 years
and that's pretty much what i learned
i'm not i don't care you can present me
the best hebrew i'm not interested
because it's not i want to i want to
know those words that came out of his
mouth
and and then i'll decide how to
share it and and and you know write it
so
my friend you know
was
for years teaching hasidis but teaching
the version that's more polished
when he read it
when i asked him
if i'm correct in my assumption
that the way the the the the copy the
volume
that we have
without the polished hebrew is more
authentic he told me yes
i wasn't a person too he's talking about
himself
but he wasn't a person to pray but i
asked him so he said yes and i wrote
this in my books my friend said you
should be
you'll be glad to hear that when i read
it i decided i'm teaching the uh a my
merlot believer to women
i'm going to teach him the version as it
is in the unedited version
because it's more of the of the rebbe's
words
so
here's an example here's a person who is
a talmud
and a teacher and everything else
but
you know until now he never heard this
personal testimony that i shared
so he he picks it up and he says you
know what i'm going to change the way
the text that i used to teach
at least for now because i want them to
get i want to teach more of the rebber's
words what he said not what someone else
wrote in in modern hebrew or in even
traditional hebrew
so what i'm showing you is that seijo
seiju
has a great impact
on the
feelings and the emotions and the
expressions
even in in every situation that's what
we're learning let's continue
that it's natural
yes located
it has a closeness
to the nepheshabamis
you see
right yes
yes sir
what does he mean that
it's sevillas yes it is it's natural
what does that mean okay what what it
means is
let me ask you is intellect right it's
an english word what does intellect mean
is intellect to you
uh
more on the side of godliness or more on
the side of
of natural phenomenon that we experience
in the
i world hear the question because you
faded out uh again
logic
logic you would put in what category
godliness or worldliness
i would put it in both
but but the different logic there's a
dif god has a different logic than we do
then we have to go back
let's go back let's go back how can we
i'm going to counter our argument
god
god is not just
an elevated
humanity
god is the creator
wait god is the creator
so anything that is not creator but his
creation
is
is completely
completely distant from god
is there a logic in the gemara
is there a logic
yeah but that
is that and okay wait wait
th the gemara itself
is beyond logic
it uses logic
and if you don't believe that then you
really don't believe that then you can
argue with the concern
no i don't i don't mean you i don't mean
you don't get personal i mean to say
the conservative movement that was their
position
their position was that the words of the
rabbis and they could mutter the sages
is logical it's human
and therefore
what they wrote two thousand years ago
and about about a situation that doesn't
apply today
or if i can find a better argument than
what they argued and just said and prove
that they're wrong where we're getting
stuck is i'm thinking you use a term
like a gemara cup right what is a gemara
cup means it means that you have
internalized the logical system of
thought
in the gomara and the gemara is an
expression of
will
i see gamora cup a little a little more
that my cup has become gamoratized
and gemara is holy
and gemara is holy not because of its
logic
gomorrah is holy because it's titus
about that
that's why gemara is holy and if you
don't believe again if we don't believe
that gomorrah is holy because of because
it's god it's traders about there we
could then the conservative movement is
right
100 they're right
so now the mother cup means
this by the way
the the colloquial usage of the word
gemara cup means
someone who was able to you know to go
back and forth and find like a lawyer
you know
but the true meaning of gemara cup the
way
hasidis would see it for sure
is that the cup has become
permeated by
tomorrow which is which is godliness
so so
so in that case
it's the godliness the nephilim kiss
that's that's
permeating
the seiko that the seiko is no longer
cycle tv
hello
segu tv
natural logic it's godly logic
and that's why we believe it and that's
why we follow it
so logically you asked was is logic
that you just said there's godly logic
right god but it begins with god and
ends with god
of course of course no
so so if you don't have the element of
god in the logic then the logic is only
natural
and what he's saying here is
that's fine
because
this way
the nefeshabamis
can benefit
from godliness ultimately
because again the premise is that the
godly soul and the lot and the animal
soul are two worlds two opposites they
can't talk to each other you need
something between so the rebbe says here
the nephilis
the the aspect of seiko
of intellect logic
as it's displayed in this particular
drive this particular nephesh
is
on the natural side it's created by god
god inserts
in a yet
a position
where logic is
it's the it's logic it's cycle it's not
godly
it's not godly
godly is a key
it's the it's the it's the process of
the mind
that that that that it is pure in the
sense that it's not emotional so so
let's see so so what the rabbit says
although
nefer shabbam is primarily emotional and
nefer cyclist is primarily intellectual
nevertheless
since it's a product given to the person
in the natural world
to be natural and that's what it means
leo tv is natural
it has a k roof it has a closeness
automatically to the membership bombings
they both share something in common so
that's why i when you said
that
seijo
is
godly no segal is not godly
seijo is part of the human experience
the human experience is creation not
creator
nevertheless
it's able
to hear
creator
why because it's the sensitive part
of the being it's the refined part of
the being it's it's
okay
rabbi yitzhak ginsburg
you all know
how does he i was told how does he start
his return to yiddish guide he was a
very sensitive person he's walking i
think was in st louis
and he walked by a steeple or something
and he heard nigunim
and it like
right right so so you have to be
seijo
has a sensitive part to it
we we do know that it it can also be
used for very bad ways as the nazis
maximum used it in justifying to kill
jews and gypsies
but the the essence sacral the seiko
itself
has
a
a a a sensitivity but it's a it's a
worldly sensitivity it's what i'm
calling creative sensitivity versus
versus creator
sensitivity
creator is god
creation is everything else
[Applause]
in the anaphylaxis the intellectual soul
paella's boy impacts it
to separate it from its emotional part
i.e the eight sahara
and it absorbs havana sickly's an
intellectual idea
like or what i've been saying an
intellectual argument
it's able to hear the position of
intellect
because remember they they're both in
the category of nature one is emotional
and one is intellectual
in other words let me put it this way
a who is who
a person
a person who's
who's about seijo
is closer to a person who's a godly
person
or an or an animal or a or a nephesh
obama's person
the answer is never
not godliness
godliness is
completely different
completely
never shabbat
and sage will share a commonality that
are both creation
and that's that's the hidden if you want
yes sir think about it now and later
of dalto rebel he says in chapter 2 and
tanya the nephew
means god inserts in us a part of god
which is completely different than
anything else
and that's a kiddish it's it's it's it's
a
it's it's a novelty how can a human
being who's already a creation
not a creator
accept and receive creator and that's
the verdict that's what god wanted and
that's what he did he put up a part of
himself nephew
in us
so in other words we're walking around
here and it was creator
not just creation
but that's all godliness that's not
officially kiss
so when you talk about nephews of the
kiss versus netflix and cyclists
it's not
if i understood you correctly that
nephesha cyclist is closer enough to
show the kids no
it's closer than enough which are
bombings
because it's already a creation
shall you with us as soon as you say
creation
as soon as you say creation
you've put a category in a limitation
and a condition on the experience and
and and also a commonality between the
two
what is that creation
it has to be a certain way so either you
use your mind or you use your heart and
if you use your heart you're gonna go
from left field use your mind you're
gonna elevate yourself and be more
refined and not get yourself into
trouble as much right fine
but they're both creation already
they're both they're both already formed
they're pre they have a condition they
have a script to themselves
godliness has no script to itself it's
the creator
how do you know doesn't have a script
because it created the world
how can a cr how can there be a creation
of a world
from a create from a created being right
one plus one equals two
you can never you can never remove the
one plus one the one is always there
it's either plus times the
or like i say can you out jump your own
head
jump up
your head jumps higher why
why can't your jumping make you jump
over your head you can't jump over the
air because as soon as you jump up your
head goes with you in other words
creation
is is is it it creates it's always there
and that's the hidden
saying in chapter two and tanya that
hashem gave a yiddhan
he gave him a part of creator
there's a part of there's a creator
in the jew
so when a jew says
i can't do it or the doctors tell me
this and this is my condition
cetera et cetera
what does little bobby should ever say
look at all of his videos
you're a jew
you're having the sherman since when is
in the shrimp are limited by what a
doctor says or by what the bank says
about what wife says or the rabbi or the
or the principal
all that's creation yeah so from a
created perspective
you're limited
and science is science and rabbi is
rabbi and conditions are conditions
but then there is creation
so if you tap into the neshama you break
out
you break out in a way that
can't explain it you could explain it
it's neshama
i heard a clip yesterday maybe you heard
it's fantastic i'll make it short
he was invited to a bar mitzvah of one
of his students years ago
he comes to the bar mitzvah he sees a
harley davidson outside
comes in
the guy is six six feet tall six five
240 pounds he's like a football player
there's not a part of his body that's
not tattooed
and whilst he looks at him and he looks
at him and he says rabbi you remember me
he says yeah i i some says you were my
eighth grade rebbe in yeshiva in crown
heights yeshiva
and wallerstein is like
you know so he's a rabbit let me tell
you a story you're wondering why i came
i'll tell you why i came
i came to the ship because it's a friend
of mine that is getting married
but i i came up to you i have a story
for you it says you see when i got all
tattooed you know my friends were it was
a big party and and then what to put on
i and um
and i'm sitting there and they're about
to
every part every finger it's like
the way wallace
says it i can't i can't i can't imagine
it i'm not
i'm not in that world part of the ship i
don't know what it means but whatever it
means he says it came to my left arm
and he pulls his arm on these
there's no tattoos
i told him not to put a tattoo on my
left arm
because my rebbe gave me
a pair of twillion
so he says
therefore
i'm not gonna let them put tattoos on my
left arm
i put tune on there
that is
creator
not creation
creation this
young man is elsewhere
islam
but he realizes that the parrot film his
he gave him
for his left arm
he knee oh and he and he said i forgot
he said you have to hear it from
wallerstein he said
he said
i'm i'm i'm not going to put on phil in
on top of a tattoo
no
what does that tell you
they
tattoos his whole body every part of his
body
is wearing the chains with the leather
is mamish you know
far
but he instilled in him a creator on the
summer
and that neshama has
has no rules
it it it's transcendent
that's seijo that's ellie kus
and when we talk about sega liliki it's
a different type of cycle it's not just
we can argue well and
and so when we say
if you have a mother cup you're like a
lawyer it's it's you know it's something
that we hear
it's not just argumentation it's godly
argumentation
and that's why we accept the arguments
of basharma in basilo because we believe
that baysharma and basil
are creators
and if they weren't creators we wouldn't
give a damn excuse me about what they
say
and the only reason we care about what
they say is because we know that they
are
living the creator within themselves and
guess what we all have that same peace
of creator in ourselves and we can live
with it and should live with it
and that's why when that ever says here
and we'll continue tomorrow with hashem
and whatever says here that the nephesh
has
has a key roof to the nephesh obama's
meaning it's more on the spectrum that
you know they use the word today on the
spectrum it's on the spectrum of bahamas
more than it is on the spectrum of the
kiss
okay
deep sheer but very very important
very important and there's more coming
you know so
it's a very important mimer and think
about it think about it you know
these are things you have to think and
try to understand and issue what you're
doing is excellent you know
you have to understand it in from your
cup from
where you're coming from other you know
what i'm saying
