Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz - Chapter 1 - A Journey into your Animal Soul

so we're gonna start this week with the first chapter in Tanya and the opening part of Tanya the author begins to say that when we're born so they from heaven they give us an oath and they make us make an oath and the oath is that we are going to be atomic and we're not going to be a Russia so it's a double oath one is what you are gonna be namely at Sadiq and B you're not gonna be a Russia and we'll soon see why they're both important so it's not enough just to be it's a vague but it's also important to know that we don't want you to be a Russia Russia is a wicked man Russia wicked person but then they tell you even out so case we got the perspective you're gonna be atomic and you're not gonna be a Russia so you got your marching orders right we're Siddiqui and we're not rushing right it's clear you can't get more clear than that but then they say even now if the whole world comes to you that means anyone tells you hey you're a topic in your eyes used to be like a Russia and that is confusing oh because I'm one hand you tell me I should be outside like neither of us I got myself organized I got myself straightened out I got myself focused I'm gonna be a topic I'm not gonna be a Russia so I know where Who I am who I'm supposed to be and there's no greater gift than having clarity but then if someone says to me oh hi nice Sabich know your eyes you're like a russia I mean now what's the problem with that what's the problem first problem the altro says that if you think you're exotic how you gonna feel great empowered right we're doing wonderful the attitude you know success bring success but what happens if Godspeed you to think of Marussia see I'm sorry oMG write down what does that mean practically what energy joy now since that's gonna kill the joy break the joy downgrade the joy we know as a given as a given just like you have hands and your feet in your body some huh joy is a given in other words in order to serve God in order to be a functioning human being in this world according to Tanja and mysticism joy is not negotiable a person has to always be happy that's one of the foundations of mysticism and that's one of the reasons actually most people are attracted to Judaism and specifically mysticism is understand some joy because who doesn't wanna be happy but but not only happy happiness from within not caused from an external substance and there's many out there so could you imagine if you had a internal infusion of happiness we're having to come on to anything external so that isn't that is a given in mysticism so this ideal to think that you are Russia will downgrade and compromise the idea of being with someone and that's not negotiable so on the other hand you can say well maybe I'll it won't bother me did I think of him set myself like a Russia welcome maybe you won't bother me welcome so what does it mean it's not gonna bother you the fact is the fact that he's supposed to be exotic he's supposed to be a righteous person he's supposed to be Itard think you supposed to be a righteous person and here you're thinking of yourself that you're not righteous you're Russia and you're saying it doesn't bother me what does that mean because they also ask the question so you're gonna be callous you're not gonna be sensitive to the fact that you're the way you feel what will happen then is you're gonna train yourself not going not to be in touch with your feelings and not to feel your feelings and that's not a good thing because we're human beings we're live people and you have to feel how you're feeling good bad or indifferent to know how to deal with yourself so based on these strong issues of what what does it mean I've mostly italic I supposed to think that I'm a Raja on the other hand that might affect my joy or it's gonna make me numb we need to have a good comprehension of what does it really mean when we say to be italic and in your mind you think that maybe you're a Russia so the Altima comes along and it creates a revolutionary breakthrough in the definition of what exotic means what a Russian means and what I've been learning is and this is the foundation of the big part of mysticism of describing what it's either gosh may need and the purpose is to really to get to know who we really are I know there was like this the alter egos now into a journey an in-depth journey to analyze the terms by explaining as follows every single thing that exists in the world whether it's a human being I think a place there's something which is called and he ruled and I'll translate exome what is the essence of the thing so for example taking human being he choose the Hebrew term what's the human being called we just had at the beginning of Genesis I don't Adam that is the essence of unity he's not dumb he's a person everyone is an atom of human being take for example a thing a table what's the essence of a table to table so the essence of a table the table doesn't change functions as a table whether it has legs or it has you know other columns supporting it it's something you put things on but that sort of table is cheer anything for that for that matter there's the essence of it then there's the way you describe something attributes of a person or a thing so for example you have a human being and you can describe the person he's told he's short he's smart he's funny and so on and so forth the table it's this size this shape this color it's a description of the table and then there's something which is called in Hebrew it's called a shame Hamas al which means a borrowed name a borrowed name well means a borrow the name a borrowed name means that it's nothing essence of the thing it's not a real description but it's borrowed from somewhere else that means it has a certain attribute of something else so let's see something else this is what something else is let's see this human being is really this that's not his essence it's not really how you would describe him but he has a certain aspect like another thing or another place or another idea and you're giving him a borrowed name but it's not really the person in other words let's see for example you get dressed up in the costume of a clown are you in essence a clown is that your attribute you put on the clown costume people are gonna call you a clown doesn't mean you're really a clown you might be might not be but the point of our custom is it creates a borrowed name you're acting right now funny it doesn't mean that's who your essence is and it doesn't mean that's your really a funny person so the algebra explains like this that when you describe the term Sadiq righteous Russia wicked or Beynon II intermediate what are you referring to the essence of the human being his behavior or like a borrowed name okay okay everything is possible we're moving targets we're not angels angels you can put them in this is who he is we're moving targets so if we would be one thing the whole time you don't we would be an angel but we're not angels we said where you of a human beings are moving targets okay but the question is what's moving is our essence moving is our description moving or is the borrowed name moving okay so comes along the outer V and he says like this there's different places that describes the different types of young people so for example the something which is called Holika Holika is what jewish law just like you have secular law your second day of Jewish law now what is we're going to talk her locker Jewish law for that matter paralyze the secular law someone goes ahead a human being and behaves in a certain way which is not appropriate whatever the case may be you can think of anything you want in your imagination and as witnesses to testify the person behaved inappropriately whatever the behavior was and you brought to court and the witnesses testify and let's even say the verdict is yeah the person that a terrible thing and they give them let's say a fine whether you give them a punishment whatever the retribution is or the punishment is now is that the person no maybe by there maybe yes maybe not but chances are it's fine not the person now is it the behavior the person maybe yes maybe not but it doesn't mean that's his real behavior that's his real attribute it's a borrowed name because he did this sin because he did this crime so the punishment is X and therefore he's labeled whatever the label they give him a convict right convicted is he is he a person that's a convict by nature is his essence a convict no is this behavior one that goes around all day is convicted no it's a borrowed name that's used for a scenario for an experience that took place so in other words and let's say they'll give him a definition a bad person are we describing his essence no or not necessarily are we describing his attributes no and not necessarily are we describing him so to speak for what happened for that experience yes but doesn't help it doesn't tell us who the person is it doesn't tell us anything about the behavior of the person so Jewish law secular law deals what specifically with experiences that happen in a set time in a set place but again the key point is that has no validity year to the truth of the essence of who the person is or his real behavior could you describe them as a whole day walking around doing these type of things though it happened so you see that a point out Jewish law and secular law the description of what happened is limited to the borrowed name for that moment or for that experience so therefore when we use a term over there sadiq well we use a term Russia we use it during Beynon II there we don't know we have no idea of how much the person really is or not for a description of the person following that one act you're late being a tonic act a Russia act a bein in the act and a lot of people unfortunately because they're limited to the view of halal kind they use that name to label the person people get labelled and scarred for life with a wrong title which is not really them and obviously this book is not about describing a human being based on an external circumstance in a isolated case we're trying to figure out who are we as human beings so in other words so we're saying the word Sadiq and we're saying the word Russia or we're saying the word being to me we're looking in two areas well how locker doesn't touch at all that is the essence of the human being on a soul level and behavior those are the two areas that we deal with essence soul level behavior not experience leave that to Jewish law secular law let them deal with that we're dealing with two issues and that is namely the essence and the consistent behavior of the unique so comes along the outer Bernice's like this so what does it mean the essence of the human being being named namely being at sound across or abandoning or the behavior being one called a Sadiq Russia or Abinadi okay so in order to explain this algebra starts off by saying as follows that each and every one of us have two souls two souls now what's interesting is let's talk about the two souls the two souls in general you have the godly soul and you have the animal soul nefesh allocate nefesh a Bahamut another name would be never subdue sure or clipper holiness or the opposite of holiness or the shell of holiness the soul itself which ii are going to in depth today but the soul itself we need know the class for that is five levels to the soul nefesh Rakesh Sharma fine you know five levels but again we'll have a separate class to go into the take a journey into there may be several classes to take a journey into the soul world but every single human being has two souls two souls now what does it mean two souls soul basically is the source of energy that fuels your whole spiritual psyche it's it's fuels a turn that you're probably more familiar with the Yeats are told which is the good side that we have and the ate Sahara the evil side that we have now role here we'll get to in a minute okay okay in other words like this knowing this we each function from an internal way on three levels intellect which is comprised of three spheroids emotions which is complies mainly of 3-sphere wrote and then the functional emotions which is another four so that package of emotions of seven generally speaking we first in the Yeats are told we refer to the ambassador of emotions and the eighths are around the basket of emotions knows from the age of twelve Sardinia to our side or we hear the optimist says that we're referring to not only the emotions but even the intellect that means that the godly soul has full set of intellect and emotions that it fuels and the animal soul has a full set of intellect and emotions are the fuels and that's why it's fair play because it's fear it's a it's a balanced war between the godly soul and the animal soul and they say workers it's a real war now that's all in the intellect and the emotions just fueled by the soul and then you have which we'll get back to and going to in dev telling you have where it plays out in other words it knows where plays out the playing field where is it play out it plays out in the world of thought speech and action ok so now like this so the answer explained as follows that each and every one of us have a godly soul which means our intellect our emotions are all fired up to what Gazi it wants god it's connected to god it's whole mission of life is to cleave to god it Cleaves to God intellectually by studying and meditating and prayer it's the--it's Cleese to God emotionally by having a love and a passion for God in a very very strong way and that's all it's like you know mono not stereo mono just one connection God God God almost like an axe is an expression that's used he's drunk with infatuated with God intoxicated with God that's the godly soul the animal saw on the other hand is intoxicated with work with Self Self Self Self anything intellectually Talib I feed myself I don't take care of myself kind of myself what's in it for me and so on and so forth emotionally what makes me feel good what am I gonna have from it how am I gonna feel better because of it - power - powerful forces and their opposites what is it about God and what is about me - opposite forces now when you have these two powerful forces that are basically in the background we'll go further and we'll come back where does it ultimately play out it plays out very simple it plays out in the world of action speech and thought in other words like this you can have two people arguing how to build a building or how to paint a wall what color right - people argue one says white the one says black now at the end of the day is the wall can only have one color and theory you can have a mix but the reality is the choice is it's white or black that's the it's going to be one color white or black right and one person animal II wants white and the other one hat one's black so as long as the wall is still clean and eat you can put on one color so you can argue even take tomorrow and something you'll do that and we'll give it never gets painted but the reality is at some point the walls to get painted and one person has to win now what does that mean practically it means very simple we have where those just like the wall has to be painted as to be painted a certain color we have a thought our thoughts and our speech and our action is like the wall there could only be one thought you're only in one speech and Holy One action now there's war what the thoughts are gonna be is it gonna be godly it's gonna be animalistic selfish sailing with speech and sitting with action now the altar which says very clear that when it comes to thought speech and action so if we're dealing with the Russia it's not a questioner we know what they are and we don't forget into it he does whatever he wants he thinks what he wants he says what he wants he does what he wants there's no filter there's no control or loose cannon now the reality is we don't deal with that because it is what it is we all know where the Russia is and we don't want to spend really too much time dealing with it because that's not sort of speak our mission in life and that's not who we are waste of time exactly so in other words the Russia basically the war gets painted whatever he wants today for it is not to talk about that sadek on the other hand what colors will get painted very simple whatever God wants there's no struggle whatever God wants so therefore what sits in his thought whatever God wants what sits in his speech whatever God wants what comes out whatever God wants what does he do whatever God wants now here comes the BAE Nene and that's the tanya is written about the Boehner knee because again the Russia we don't deal with it it is what it is until he wakes up he's gonna do whatever he wants the tonic it's almost like an angel he just does whatever God wants the Boehner Nia what's the Boehner knee the Bailey knee is one that internally there's a fiery struggle which we're going to go back to in a minute then analyze and talk about I want you to see where it plays out and then we'll understand with where the struggle is the Boehner Nia in thought at the end of the day he will think exactly what what God wants he will speak what God wants he will do what God wants no question asked not easy to get there but but and this is what this is where this is what we're gonna learn this whole book of Tonya but - but in order for him to get here it's a war fire and brimstone the struggle why why because as we said before and now we're gonna go back to what we said before that the person has two souls because he has two active souls the godly soul in the animal soul each one have full control of a set of brains and instead of a set of emotions so the godly soul has control of a set of brains has all the logic and all the reason why he's served God and God exclusively but in the other hand the animal soul has a full set of logic and has every reason every logic why should do it at what feels good for himself how you gonna get hate on a piece out of this before we get to the end we're talking about the struggle the war let's look at the war right let's first understand what's get into the war the godly soul has full control of the emotions and means it wants to do whatever God wants it loves God it's a law of God but in the real way in a passionate way on the other hand the animals soul it loves taking care of itself it's like it's like mesmerizer itself well do anything to feel good anything to feel good has a step inside doesn't cure now but here's the difference but either rushed as we said there's no struggle the animal souls in control in control the SAVAK the godly souls in control but not only the godly saw in control here's the key point by the sadiq the animal soul he killed him it doesn't exist so there is no struggle see by the Russia there's no struggle because he totally is not is desensitizes godly soul because as you've seen you desensitize you out in your godly soul that God is all sleeping half dead and the Russia that's whether he wants whatever he wants there's no there's no guilt there's no shame there's no conflict just wherever he wants we think with its avec he killed his animal Souls he has no problem he's going you know he's cruising on the highway 65 miles per hour with no no issues no bumps in the road and he's peaceful the bane of the year is struggling with this godly Solon's animal soul and it's a real war it's a real fight now what's what's the real issue here the issue is that the Boehner knee has an urge a strong urge based on the animal soul to express itself let me think for a minute about this but the vainly doesn't allow it who knows he the buck stops here yeah how you want to fight me no problem but we're gonna be always neck to neck you'll never enter into my thought I'm not gonna harp on it in other words let's use a simple analogy something happens in your life something struggle takes place you're challenged when your faith lies whether that's he someone gets the god forbid let's he's sick whatever maybe so the godly soul says Oh God has a reason he's trying to elevate me through this he's trying to you know pull out for my insides the animal soul says huh you believe in this God forget about it and he tries to knock you down so it's and the other one argues no but the reality is it could only it's only an argument an urge an urge but not where it starts going into the mind you actually start thinking that you don't ever start thinking negative stuff in other words practically speaking practically speaking there is no difference you know it sounded conveniently in thought speech and action in thought speech and action there's no difference where is the difference where is a difference on a soul level it means there's an active animal soul there that's fighting with the godly soul he can reach higher places because he's fluxes he's working his muscle nut absolutely yes in a certain yes a nicer prospective okay so in other words that's where the real struggle is the real struggle is are we gonna allow it to penetrate the thought speech and action obviously it doesn't allow it but it's a constant battle it's more alert he's more alive he's more awake there's a fight there's an excitement now yes it's choose correct so here the author explains so who is really the essence of the human being the essence of the human being so the author explains like this the essence of the human being there's a clear distinction between a sadiq AB a nanny and a Russia at Sadiq the essence of that human being is what what's the essence godly the essence of a Russia is what animal self how do you want to describe it's clear what's the essence of a bein mean life that's a good term life the struggle the essence of the beanie is the struggle the minute he kills the animal soul he's not abating anymore because atomic the minute he gives in he becomes a Russia but the point so so then he gets it changed as time but the definition of a baneling is the one his life is the struggle that is a definition of vainly dan is the absent Ronald mainly is life and the struggle correct life and the struggle now so it's clear the essence is very very clear as long as you're struggling you're alive and you're the veining of Chania and that's really life because with life you can actually grow now what is the description of its addict very simple description of exotic is he basically lives a godly life what is the description of mainly same description he also has a godly life in inaction Raika the description is really had the person behaves like a god when you describe it sounding you describe a need there is no difference because you not describing the essence the description right there is a description and there are so you're describing someone that lives basically a selfish life now so we know what the description is and we know what the essence is but now we're going to take a journey into into the soul of the Boehner name which in the soul the bane leaders two parts there's the godly soul and there's the animal soul now why is it important to know the the description because you have to know what you dealing with you got to know what the war is all about and then by knowing the war not that you're gonna get rid of your animal soul even though it's a great you know gold to have but it's not necessarily realistic one for most people it's you'll know at least how to deal with it and handle out smarter than how to keep it ain't as much as possible so about the godly soul that we start studying in depth in the second chapter time yeah and that will be next week or next class about the animal soul that we're going to talk about today and that's the doubt that it talks about in this chapter the second half the second half of the chapter about the animal soul what it is what absolutely no one thinks your killer yeah it's part of the part of life we said it's part of life absolutely absolutely yes yes if it doesn't kill you makes it stronger that's the that's the terminology okay okay so let's talk about the animal soul we ever know what it is so in order to understand what it is the author explains like this everything that God made in this world is made up of four elements H fire Ruach wind my in water and up for Earth those are the four elements everything is made up of that you know and God made many great took the four elements that's he made he made the physical part and also the spiritual part but what is the spiritual part of these four elements so again we're not dealing with now the godly soul remember godly soul next week we're talking that the animal soul this week so let's remember we're talking about we're getting--we're government you will be taking a journey a spiritual journey we're putting on our masks right we're taking a dive I'm going in to see what our animal soul looks like what does it look like why you gotta know Yetta me yeah we gotta know the enemy you know the enemy you know how to deal with it so the so we're gonna take a dive into the animal soul you ever do this before taking an exploration into the animal soul so what do we say it's made up of four parts part number one is what physically fire the fire is fire what is firing resemble spiritually so if you look at fire well that was fire it burns and wants to go higher changes change but what it wants to go higher right he the fire probably wants to go higher and the more fire were saying the more fire keeps annoying now keep some consumer creates it so according to Kabbalah what's fiery resemble again let's say focus animal soul not godly soul that's all next week what is the animal souls fire two things one is anger and arrogance so when you get angry never happens anywhere around here but we're talking in theory if someone got angry right and you want to know where it's coming from so you could because then you can deal with it it's coming from the fire physical spiritual fire of the animals soul and second we'll talk about both of them and deal with the package when a person get what's a second component that comes from fire arrogance when you're acting arrogant that is coming from where we'll talk about that fire comes from where the component of I mean arrogance comes from if I'm from fire so you have two powerful animalistic traits which is anger and arrogance come from fire let's take one at a time you're gonna talk to say one thing at a time first thing is what arrogance what is arrogance was arrogance arrogance by definition is you better than other people correct arrogance ISM yes correct so why does I do it fire because fire what's fire it's going up arrogance is great let's see that's see you are who you are that's who you are right whatever you are it's irrelevant what arrogance is really convincing yourself or telling yourself or telling other people that you're more than who you are so it's not real it's not the truth it's like you know for example we have you know never seen comments and matza right what's in common tomato bread and matzah bread and matches mates in the same ingredients the difference is that bread Rises and monsters flat it is what it is it's flour water you see flour water here you see this whole blown-up thing taking crushed down you have the same thing as matzah squeeze up the air squeeze out you know you'll have matzah it's a process but the point is you take all the extras out all the fluff you'll have matzah so what is really arrogance Aaron's is creating a fire on yourself which doesn't really exist why don't when you create this fire out of yourself and people don't agree with you you get angry you get angry and how could he be so stupid exactly anger come from hurt hurt that what that you think that you're more than anything you know hurt is anger repressed what are you waiting from hurt you hurt why your why your what do you hold on so do you believe God runs the world so if God runs the world whatever the person said to you is supposed to hear it I'm not saying giving a justification of other people to say things but if you heard something that rubbed you the wrong way you were supposed to hear it so accept the fact accept a fact that God runs the world God runs the world and exactly exactly so in other words let's go back so anger and arrogance come from what part of the I am solar fire now once you know that once you know that then you know how to get some water no I can put out the fire I'm talking to hold it holy water holy water holding water to put out the negative fire correct you want holy water to put out the fire or you put out fire with fire with the pool or you want to keep with and where the point is you want to keep the fire of the animals soul down no let's keep it simple when you're arrogant and you're angry no it's coming from the negative side no it's coming from the fire the negative side and the worst thing a person could do is be arrogant and angry my friend pointed Kabbalah mysticism someone that's angry it's as if you worship idols so you want to be a heart absolutely your own Idol but stone Idol ion you created okay so in other words so if you want to take you want to know who you are you want you want to lower it you gonna lure it if you want to know who you are when you're angry and when you're arrogant know what's coming from the fire okay and this way don't think is from the godly soul godly soul doesn't get angry by definition godly Souls not arrogant godly Souls the antithesis of being angry arrogant because I would never get angry think of f God runs the world what's it again angry for and God wants the world why not being arrogant what I think I'm better than someone else or better than supposed to be peace correct okay the next aspect of the animal soul is something which is called having intense pleasure comes from the accident of water who knows why but between you take water what happens it creates grows and things grow and you're able to have pleasure from it now huh Healing true but the point is like this from the godly soul where's get olds pleasure from from God the animal soul wants to get pleasure from physical things and things that will feed him and make him more enjoyable everything comes from God but if it's about self it's no good so no no in other words like this no no in other words like this another was like this let's say for example you want to your your you're hungry right now you want to eat right why do you want to eat because obviously point about sometimes there's a spark of holiness in that food that you need to elevate so another so therefore simply going to elevate something you go to elevate a spark you make a blessing first the purpose of a blessing is calm down it's not about you going to enjoy that whatever you're gonna be eating its remember you're on a mission to elevate it so you when you eat something there could be two ways you're going to eat something one way is okay you know what time you know three times a day whatever it is I elevate the physical world I make a blessing first benefit that's why for example it's a holiday of kosher that's what we sold the meat and to take out the all the path the energy there so you shouldn't be totally consumed in the physical taste of it but more in the purpose of elevation so when you're eating you can eating to elevate and if you're eating to elevate so you just elevate what your instructor to if you're eating cause it tastes good when do you stop never why should you stop if the whole reason why you're eating so to taste went was because it tastes good so why should you stop you should and people that's why people don't stop however view eating us to elevate we don't elevate through the whole day there's certain times of a that we meant to elevate to did we make a blessing beforehand we elevated and then we're done we make a blessing we close that whole experience and those eating is a spiritual experience now eating is supposed to be a spiritual experience if you it's kosher food and you make the blessing beforehand and you have proper meditation beforehand and you make the blessing afterwards that's called a holy spiritual experience in relation to food that feels the spirit but what happens if you're eating because oh there's something that really tastes good and you don't check of its culture and you'll make a blessing before or after even if you do make the blessing but it's all about the taste how it tastes and how it looks guess what happens now exactly so in other words I'm not saying that when you eat you shouldn't enjoy the food that's not my point what I'm saying is that if the whole reason you're doing it is it starts and ends with the enjoyment that's not for the holy site if it starts in the end with the elevation how much do you enjoy - great absolutely we're not saying you shouldn't enjoy the food that you eat you shouldn't enjoy a holy experience but in fact it's more enjoyable if it's a holy experience and it's just a physical experience because you're having a holy dimension to it correct okay so that is where water creates these pleasures that are unsafe evil because what happens is if you're just going after pleasure you can ever really satiate pleasure because there's no end to it more and more and more and winding you're never gonna be satisfied first if it's a spiritual experience man what are we saying the grace after meals I ate and I'm satisfied done experienced over okay then there's something which is called the attribute of raw wind what does that produce that produces this sitting around and talking empty words or making jokes I don't you know we're making fun of people and so on and so forth laughter right gossip right exactly all that type of stuff comes from where it winds what's wind when it's just hot here now is that what's godly about that nothing and I'm not saying whether it's as bad don't get me wrong it's not a terrible sin but it's not godly the point over here is that there's a difference between godly bad and the opposite of godly now by definition of it's the opposite of godly it's not godly it doesn't show you mean it's bad you're sitting around this idle chat comes from the spirit of wind and obviously it's not coming from the godly soul the godly soul has to keep it simple wants to pray once the study wants doom its load once the create a connection with God and other human beings that are connected to God the animal soul as we said it's all about me arrogance anger pleasure sitting around and talking even if it's about other people what's the fourth element earth what's earth very simple huh earth is the component of spiritual run of Earth is laziness and sadness laziness and sadness in godliness is ocean it's laziness there's a lack REE you're running we're doing we're gonna do a little slow we're gonna pray we're gonna study we're gonna make the world a better place there's energy right sittin on the couch now with all the experience if you're sitting on the couch and studying it's in a godly experience but sittin on the couch and it's flipping channels that's not godly that's a potato potato a closed absolutes being sad it's also not godly in godliness is happiness as we said before in the class joy godliness is joy and happiness flip the channels Kanna be happy and see you said it kind of be happy you know be happy gotta be half channel your watch okay now so when we spoke about we took a journey into the animal soul into the animal soul we spoke about fire which is basically arrogance and anger water which is basically just seeking pleasure pleasure wind which is basically gossip talk to Chad nothing right and then earth which is basically being laziness and being sad those are four areas but now we're gonna go even deeper it was a fine line and that is as follows there are certain things that we naturally do there's three components to the Jewish people which we naturally have what is that in Hebrew it's called by Seanan rock morning and going the cassava which means we're shy we're compassionate and we're charitable we do acts of kindness now that is part of our nature it's part of a DNA matter of fact the way to test if someone's really Jewish see how he acts as he compassionate people is he kind to people does he practice charity is he humble right is he shy then you know he's Jewish in in his nature now so the Altima comes with an idea and he says like this when a Jew behaves so to speak in a in these three areas which you should because and that's what you have but it's coming to some your nature it's not something that you're fired with and fire with that's also coming from your animals soul what do you mean to say something if the animal soul again is not bad it's survival it's an engine but if the only reason why you like it all sigh right is because you sigh and your Compassion's because it's just your nature and your kind because your nature you haven't really worked on yourself and you're not inspired because hey you know it's God's world how can I be well what right do I have to be arrogant no sir I'm sorry this God's world I'm only a guest here or I'm compassionate because hey you know God's people need help but I'm compassionate so you see the fire is there and I want to help God in God's world and make the world a better place thanks coming from a godly son but you're just doing it naturally it's like almost like you're a robot in other words it's not bad but it's not great it's neutral so in other words the animal soul to get a clear picture is not a bad thing it's a survival thing but on the other hand on the other hand correct on the other hand if we just allow the animal soul to rule us we're gonna be stagnant we need a fire of the godly soul which we're gonna talk about next we can take a journey into the godly right now we talk at the animals soul let's stay focus on the animal soul for sure obvious but let's look at the animals all this week okay one second now one more point which shelter makes in this chapters as follows in the prophet the classical he explains he talks about strong winds clouds fire which are very very fierce and it's brought down in kabbalah those three forces that he's referring to it's something which is called shalash people touch me out three impure shells which referring to the other side of holiness that means that they have and it knows God gave the power to clipper or Sitra Achra which is the other side of holiness or the shell which is not the with holiness itself extra line is not the power what does that mean God needed power God gave a power that means it's it's so to speak it's entrapped in there now let's go try to fight a hurricane it's not easy to love you'll get killed or a fierce fire right or earthquake whatever may be right so those when it comes to shallow sleepers its Mayo something which is extremely we know for sure more the Tori tells don't need don't need a pig forget about it you can make 20 blessings and you can pour water on yourself and on the pig you're never gonna be elevated it's not happening because it's part of the shallow sleep that's mailed and they many things like that anything that's in that world it's tied down to the shallow scriptum as the three empirically boat we cannot elevate again that's not for the point here however in your the profit your Haskell he says that something Cleveland something which is touching it referring to there is a shell which is not from the three you cannot elevate but it's something which is from the three that sort of speak neutral and here at the key point it's it's not holy it's a clip up its seat Rockets on the other side but it's neutral what does it mean it's neutral neutral means that you could you can basically spice it up and I'll be spiced up or you can leave it and I'll be neutral in other words in other words like this the animal soul is not bad the animal soul is in a neutral state and if you're able to fire it up guess what the animal soul could be on fire for God to and when that's on fire for God now you really got something going so in other words like this the fire from the animal soul is it bad no it's neutral but if you're arrogant and if you're angry that means that you allow the fire to penetrate unfortunately and take over in a negative way but the goal is to capture that fire and bring that fire for a fire for God in firing for Judaism that's fire that the animal soul has the godly soul doesn't have the type of fire it has its own fire but the goal is to capture that fire and transform it into holiness the water same thing also if you're just pleasure of pleasure so basically taking this this water this pleasure thing but if you're taking the pleasure for God and you're using that energy to transform a beautiful experience for God now you've transformed it you took something which is neutral and it's transfer for holiness and the fainting what Ruach right which is which is wind which is power but use it for something powerful for godly and the same thing also would offer to use it and transform it for godliness so in other words like this the point without service making is that the NEFAs of Mohammed it's not bad it thinks about self but it could be transformed it could be it could be it could be two things which we'll learn later in depth it could be basically restrained and it can also be transformed but in order to restrain it in order to transform it yes know what it is so the goal of today's class was to identify at least the second half of the class what the animal soul is and therefore once you know what the animal soul is now it's very easy you know what you're going to either restrain from allowing it to take over and cause you to be angry and angry or arrogant to just indulge in the materialistic things or to just to talk gossip or just to be lazy but more importantly now you know what it is and that goal is to take out the good in it and bring it into the world of holiness and now you've created so to speak of profit which it sounded can't do because atonic has no animal soul sound like bottom line is he's wonderful godly but he can't profit he doesn't he doesn't an animal's soul to do business with we have an animal soul to do business with that means when you're doing business you can lose money when you do business and you can create a profit or you can stay flight our goal is to create a product take that animal soul and and profit from it and take all that powerful energy and bring it into the world of God and godliness so that's more or less the journey into the world of the animal soul and this gives us really now bringing back full circle a glimpse of the life of the baby the life of the bandoneon one hand has his powerful godly soul that wants to express itself in thought speech and action and does but also has the urghhh from the animal soul but never actually actualize it and thought speech and action but here comes the main thing once you know what the animal souls could we go in first is restraint it and then most importantly transforming that it should want God and godliness and now you created a real profit
