Faith 2 Levels. השמים כסאי, ואל זה אביט אל עני גו A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're GNA be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb the name of the discourse is called said this discourse on it was the second day of in the year 48 years ago de went on to certify and edit discourse in honor of the second day in the month of in the year me 30 years ago so again the discourse is based on the verse in the prophets where the Prophet says says the heaven is my Throne the and the Earth is my place where my my my my foot stol is a what house can you build for me but the the prophet says this is what I look for I look for the poor person and the broken person says it's known the question that's brought down the fact that we know hasem doesn't have an image of a body so what are you going to say Hashem the the the heaven is his cheer and the Earth is his his foot stol what does hasm have to do with the body also we have to understand what what does the verse say what house can can you build for me and what do I look for I look for someone that's poor and and broken spirit so the question is what is this powerful quality of someone that's poor and a broken spirit and know even though that what house can you build for me but no you know I'm going to look for someone that's poor and a broken Spirit what's that all about the point of the explanation is that when we say heaven and we say Earth We're referring to to and MIT say explained at length in the discourse of to that generally um Heaven is connected to toy we receive the to from Heaven MIT given us down on this world and that is our spiritual work with our but specifically with the lower three levels of our NE R and of our soul what is bias spiritually that's the work of with all the whole might which is without any limits and that comes from the level of the soul of and so therefore what does it mean as what house she you buil from what does that mean that even the work of bias which means Without Limits which is referring to the our spiritual work of our of our soul very high level and through that you actually bring down ma very very high high level stuff in this world and know eight what what house what house could you be could you build for me because even the most powerful lofty spiritual service of Mak of it's only aay so again there's no question about it that yes and which is very very powerful but they're only aray but what is look at what someone that's poor and broken what does that mean practically that is referring to the level of B acceptance on someone that's poor someone that's a broken Spirit has real B and then when you have B then you draw down the essence of hem you want to want to connect to the essence of hem that comes through b and acceptance you can say that this is the connection between the of a sh which normally is read on why because what happens Ines that's when the moon gets born again and what happens when when the moon is born it's only a small Dot and what does a DOT resemble like the a bit Acceptance in other words there's nothing to it it's only a small Dot and not only that a drop before the Moon is actually born it's totally in a level of B no there not even a DOT and specifically from and it's not even a DOT that's how you have the birth of of something new in other words when you have total B total acceptance total nullification then you receive a brown new light it's called the a new light from the sun in other words and to draw down this light not only it's not it's from the Sun itself because we know there's nothing new Under the Sun but actually it comes from higher than the Sun and that's why in is the idea bit acceptance they read the and where it says what does look for we learned before which is the level of B acceptance that because what happens when the person in the level of B acceptance you draw in a very very high new light just likees when through the B when there's no moon that creates a new a new light higher than the sun the same thing also through the B we draw in very very powerful energy say he'd like to say you like to add and to to explain the verse that says what do I look at someone that's poor in other words what is he referring to not only the idea till now we learned un means someone that's poor bital acceptance but there is no even someone that's literally poor spiritually what is what is what does it mean spiritually poor poor Bas in the level of intellect what does that mean the person is poor they don't have D they don't have an understanding and godliness so if that's the case they how have they don't have an understanding of God how do they connect to God they serve God through a moon or through faith which is lower than logic understanding a person thinks and comprehends Etc so from this perspective a moon is lower but nevertheless since this idea of being poor in other words the level of a moon of Faith which is lower than logic we also have the the upgrade of it which basically means the level of Bal acceptance so that's why hasem says yeah I look to that so in other words this the idea of being b a person Works himself to be Bal here we saying even deeper even when you don't have anything but you have Mo you have faith Hashem looks at that moo which is even lower than logic and just like we find by the Moon that even though when the when when you have the birth of the moon it's only a little Dot and how much more so before the Little Dot it's totally concealed and it doesn't shine but nevertheless because why is it not there because it's coming from a place of V it's not ification you're able to draw in a powerful new light which is even higher than the light of the sun he like to connect this with the explanation of the the fourth and he we celebrating his birthday on the second day of the month of So based on the verse that says in the heads of the months so the question he asks is why you say Russi means plural multiple heads why are you saying multiple heads and he explains because month is the month on spiritual is referring to which sphere is referring to the sphere of malus and and and and and so Rashi is referring to the idea of the faith and in faith there's two dots the two points that's why he say rash there two levels of faith and know what does that mean it's two levels of phe because he says when you have the the in the in the Hebrew alphabet you have the alphabet of the vowels one of the vowels is called a seal which basically is two dots and one dot dot in the bottom that's a seal so what happens on the SLE you have the the the two on top which are lined up then you have the middle one so where's the middle one it's not under the right or the left it's actually centered between the two so that's a SE then there's something which is called a s which is just the opposite so you have the two dots which are on the bottom and you have the dot which is on top so know you have a segle again you have the dot in the bottom two on top so is just the opposite you have the two and the one is on top so you have two types of dots one is either on below regular SE and one is on top a the same thing also when it comes to Faith there's two dots in other words in the revealed Sate you have the the dot on the bottom and then there's also a high dot because we know there's a concept Caba that no it's the beginning is wedge in the end and the end is wedge in the beginning in other words so what just introduced that you have the idea of auna Faith but you have two different levels of Faith you have the faith on the bottom and faith on the top and he's going to explain so he says like this the spiritual work of being poor and broken a spirit like we explained before is referring to the love of ma you don't comprehend but you have faith in other words so that has to be even before the spiritual work of a and what we just learned sh referring to T and AR is referring to MIT even before you learn T even before you do the you have to have a faith and how much more so before the spiritual work of what asab which we learned before is referring to without any limits um so even before that you have to have faith why is that because the fact is that Faith acceptance is the foundation for everything so before you start learning T doing MIT going off the charts you have to come with a perspective of amuna Faith Bal Acceptance Now however in the beginning so you're coming from a level of Faith acceptance which which is which is described in the verse as poor that's literally you need to have faith in hem know even though you have to comprehend certain things but the fact is because you you you faith is coming from a place of your PO knowledge after you you introduce the the relation with faith then you start working with your internal Powers which is a which means learning and doing and then with the external Powers the which the house um and and and and and and you the porness beforehand is like it says so what that's the case if that's the case what's the idea what's what's the idea of the poor beforehand why is it poor because it says that um P that means a Fool Believes everything and who was that referring to know even though understood he was he's the one that went to and got us Tor but nevertheless everything that he had he hadn't a level of Faith why because if he understood why where's Faith come in so the second level of placei comes from the perspective of that even after you understand everything even after you learn and you do MIT but then you think for one one second hasem is infinite we're finite and the I'll say in calistic terms less BL Cloud we can't comprehend God so because we can't comprehend God so we're all like like like like um like nothing front of hasem and therefore that creates a higher level of Faith so in other words in generally you have the being poor which is in the beginning of the of the of the service of hem which is the acceptance lower than understanding and then you have being poor afterwards which is actually a much deeper level of acceptance which is called BAS above understanding in other words before we go for this what's saying he's saying it's like this it's almost like a sandwich you start off serving hem faith I know nothing I'm ready to accept everything that's the introduction then you learn then you do the mitz then you comprehend you're doing the mitz actions and then you even go above board Without You Without Limits but then you come to the realization after all said and done my big wisdom and understanding of my and again it's amazing but guess what compared to hasm it's not nothing and that brings you to the higher level of acceptance which is called and you can say that's why the verse says what do I look at someone that's poor and someone that's that's broken and where does it say it it says after in other words even though the faith that is in the beginning of the service it reaches so to speak hasem and like we we know that the expression is that that someone that's simple always says bar Etc because obviously they they're connecting to Hashem but the fact is that what does Hashem really look at what's the ultimate Revelation and what is what what is it like the greatest connection and the the revelation of the essence of hasem that actually comes from the faith after the knowledge so in other words what they saying is like this the faith before which is huge that's the introduction but after you learned after you did the MIT after you're so connected you're able to stop and say you know what me compared toh as nothing and I'm totally accepting much harder but that gets you to the essence of hasem and said you can say that these three ideas which basically means the poor Faith before we don't start doing our work and then the work of learning which is learning tah doing MIT and then being poor afterwards the ultimate acceptance is just like the three divisions in the in the fruit of the tree like in our paral in other words in our parha it speaks about the three years of ARA where you can't touch you plant a new tree you can't touch it and then the fourth year you have to bring it to to to Israel and the the fifth year you can do whatever you want those are the three stages and they're going to tie that concept into the same idea and he says like this when you have a tree and you plant a tree so what what is what so you plant it in the Earth Earth and the sphere says which sphere the sphere of malus what is the tree the tree is refer to which the six so you so you plant a tree in the earth spiritually you're taking Z the six the six you're putting into like the verse says you come to land taking putting into Mal now when you draw in Z into Mal that's the spiritual concept of planting a tree there's three levels in the first three years so what happens is which is which was the earth that received a tree so where did it receive it from only from the last three spheres of Z even though you're planting a tree which is the six mid but it's only the last three sper which is called so the first three years is connecting to now but since the main idea of these three of what are they they're all about functional they're all about action so therefore the the emotions of is is similar to Mal why because what's Mal that's the source of the of of of the what's created afterwards and cre it makes room for someone that TR her exist and because it because it's all about making room for an existence you can have in Hebrew it's called unfortunately it can draw out to to wrong places and that's the connection of the of the of the of the of the explanation that says the first three years is connected to the three um SP of with the with the with the explanation that says the first three years of the tree is is is connected to the three impure cipot why because when Mal the Earth receives only from where which are functional unfortunately it's going to Le out to the three impure cot and therefore the fruit of those three years is ear and it's forbidden to have any benefit benefit from it so that's the first three years and is going to and because it's only functional kich and that's why you can't use it what happens in the fourth year so now malus receives from a higher level it Rel it receives from ties which is the and and the the the bottom half of Tes or the two bottom halv of FZ but not the top part and because it receives in the bottom part of the ferz that's why the fruit of the of the fourth year it's called it's holy praising to hasem because praising is it goes into the concept of of like it says you praise so that's the fourth year so the fourth year again is connected to the lower level either the bottom third or the bottom two3 of theis and that's why it's holy forem what happens in the fifth year so malus the Earth receives from the higher the highest level of Tes and that that's why it says when reference to the fifth year to add into the in other words at the four levels of of the fourth year of the first three years are connected to the four names of Y but in the fifth year you bring in from the top of the yud which is Con connected to the idea of K now so that's on a spiritual level but now there is going to explain this idea of the the the the three years the fourth year and the fifth year the way on a practical level you can use to serve AEM andever says you can say like this what is Mal Earth is Mal is referring to when a person learns T and does the mitv and actuality in your thought in your speech and in your action now when you fulfill the you're learning in action how does that happen and because by you drawing in into your thought and your speech and your action now that can happen says in three different ways in other words it can happen in the first level corresponding to the three years where you're drawing into Mal which means learning to doing M thought spe in action but you're drawing in from where which emotions and we said these three mid the last three before Mal is all about action you're like a a robot you're a machine you're doing it now even though is connected to the idea of our feet which take us to we have to go which means and going in the way of hem but nevertheless because it's only it's great it's amazing keep on doing it but because it's only functional what are you lacking the higher mid the higher emotions so you have no passion and you have no compassion doing learning to cuz where does compassion come from where does energy come from it comes from Love and Orem so what happens is if you're only serving hasem from as a functional human being so what can happen is and you're lacking the fire of of love for ourem you're going to lose you're you're going to at some point you're going to you're going to you're going to conun out you're going you're going to become weak in serving Hashem and especially in areas you have to like go above and beyond you have to sanctify yourself even in things that are permissible and and you're not going to go that extra mile and up to the point you're going to start at first you're not going to do things that like extra things but but then you're going to come to the point unfortunately or tragically that you're going to do things which are forbidden and even things are forbidden that you can't even have any benefits from it and therefore what happens you're just like you're just doing practicing a scaia and again it's a very high level as long as you're doing and thought PE and action the problem is it's only unfortunately it's going to dry up so you just push yourself and cabalistic terms is called the scaf you you practice restrained you really want to you know you're torn and you practice restraint and you do supposed to and know you can say that this is like the level of the faith before intellect understanding why because it's it's like the being poor before you understand know and even though in this level of Fai yeah you reach the essence of hem but it's not the reveal part like we learned before and like it's explained in in reference to to the three years of AR literally that this that a person so to speak the first three years you literally have to break your your your your your your your desire and you wait literally patiently or impatiently for three years and you fulfill the biblical negative precept that for the first three years you shouldn't touch it like for example we we we we accept whatever hasm wants and we literally connect to hm with doing whatever Hashem wants but the problem is you're not doing in a way where I'm so happy to do what Hashem wants because happy that's Revelation and like he explains in the that praising hem comes from be like the lights are on but but you're doing adjusting the level of what of acceptance okay so the first three years this recap is Mal which means you're doing everything you're learning you're praying you're studying you're doing mitv but you just you just a human you're just a function and and and again it's great it's amazing it's better than nothing obviously it's huge it's scaia but you're lacking the fire and when you're lacking the fire unfortunately you're not reaching the ultimate hasem and and and and and it's hard and you're practicing your scof you're practicing your strength but what happens after you come to the fourth year that what happens in the fourth year in Mal in again the learning ter doing MIT you're also bringing in from what does that mean practically that in your thought and in your speech and in your action you're actually bringing in the emotion which emotions love and all for hasem and and joy um and and Beauty ex and then when you have the love and or for hem and then you're able to so to speak be you're able to connect to hem and then what happens when you when you have passion when you love hem you're in all of hem you're happy about it you don't have to push away scof you push away to bad because what happens is when a person loves hem something which is bad something which is evil it's disgusting actually and you don't have to push it away you you just want to busy with the light when a person is on fire when you have the love for hasem the joy for hasem you don't you don't have to deal with negativity it's not in your world it's not not in your radar and that's why when it comes to the fourth year what does it say all the fruit are holy and it says what does mean like like explains in based in the verse a beautiful Insight you holy what causes you to sit down to he when the Jewish people praise you as why is hasem sitting and getting involved in the world even though he's totally disconnected when we we are happy and we praise Hashem from Joy and love that's what causes hasem to be drawn down to this world and that's said that's similar like the spiritual work of which is again which is referring to learning and doing and also from which is the house which is basically going the extra mile and through that you bring down um into the internal powers and into the you bring it down all to this world but what happens is even though it's huge the fourth year again you're learning you're doing Mitzvah thought speech and action and you love and you're an you have happiness and you're connecting but the fact is it's only coming from a revealed place and like the auor explains in based on the verse where it says we're accepting to We Praise that that the the the ackowledgement is which means but the praising is the name to the name of a beauty which is again a a revelation part but it's not over then you come to the fifth year and the fifth year is to add Tu which means to add light what does that mean you're drawing in like we said before from the dot on top of the yud because we said before the four years connected y k of K and the 50 is connected to Dot and top so there what does that mean practically what does that mean our service hem that that's referring to the faith that comes after the knowledge in other words when you the faith comes from the recognition and I'll say it in Aramaic that as much as you learn and as much as you study and as much as you're happy with hm and everything you realize guess what we can't really comprehend Hashem and that's when you connect to the essence of Hashem in other words in this level of Faith which comes after learning after doing the MIT after the meditation you have both qualities one is you're reaching the essence of hem and B the essence gets revealed and other this level of faith we realize how great hasem is we can't comprehend him and all the prayers is only just just like to name hem and the fact is when you reach the essence of Shem there's no praying it's just the level of what faith and acknowledgement that's the highest level you can say that this that the fruit of the fourth Fe you only eat in Jerusalem it's holy fruit you can only eat in Jerusalem and we said that's not the highest level but when you come to the highest level the fruit of the fifth year you can eat it all over it's seeming to just the opposite ands no no because the revelation of the fourth year as great as it is you're happy and you're connect to hem it's still finite and therefore the the praising of this fruit you have to bring it to to you have to bring it to to Jerusalem to praise hem and to thank hem but however when it comes to the revelation of the fifth year that's already Without Limits acceptance is Without Limits and therefore when you're accepting Hashem it's actually you're adding in in in in in into the into the wheat and that's all over and even things that don't have Holiness and not only you can even eat it in in impurity in impurity but when a person basically is accepting hasem on the level with there's no Holiness then what happens is you're actually drawing in from the essence of the infinite light Which is higher than having any connection with the SP so you're connecting to the highest level but then you're bringing it down to the lowest level and by connecting to the highest level and bringing it down to the lowest level you're actually fulfilling and completing the tremendous dream desire that hm had to have a de a dwelling down in the materialistic world and to the lowest place where hasm has not recognize we literally make a dwelling place for the essence of the infinite part of hem he like to add that when a when person does the spiritual work of the fourth year because the fact is on its own it's go it's it's it's a it's a finite process but but it comes after the spiritual work of the three years before so what happens then is you create a jumping even in the fourth year and because the fact that the first three years it's all about is scaia you're jumping and you and you create that energy in the fourth year as well and that's one of the reasons why that the spiritual of the fourth year we come through we from there we come to the tremendous level you can't just go to the fifth you have to have the first three years of restraint and then enjoyment and then to the ultimate acceptance and then we come to the highest level of the fifth year so the purpose thing is it's not like you can go straight to the fifth you first you go for three years esaia acceptance then you have the year of where it's praising Hashem Etc and then you go to the ultimate acceptance you connect to the essence of and bring it down into this world says you like to connect this with um the teaching of the the the the the the uh birthday boy of the of the which is the beauty of beauty and he says that what you have to be to begin with you have to go off off the charts says it should be the will of hem by doing our actions and our work and especially going straight to the top total acceptance the essence of hem bringing down hasm here we're going to have the the the voice of of of of hem is jumping on on the mountains on on on on and coming to take us out of gas and like the med says in the verse and the med explains it's referring to the king Messiah that he's going to come and redeem us and he's going to take us standing upright to ER and finish off happen very very soon and very very quickly so you have a beautiful beautiful discourse explains two levels of faith and again it's a process you start with the first level of Faith then and then the joy and happiness but then the ultimate level of faith that the fact is how can we compare to the infinite of hem and by by by going to that level will all Merit to to hasem coming and jumping and taking us out of gullas and God willing our next class will bees have a great and blessed week sh
