so we'll begin today beijing hashem
on my manpages kaira from the balatanya
avadha levi who that's uh page 109
the second column or daf nun hey column
ii
if you go to noon hey column 2 or 109 on
top you should say kaira
for avadhale vihu
[Music]
so just a little context in parshas
kardak of course
you have the story of the mutiny the
revolution the map
that kaira
and 250 leaders made against moishanar
following that
comes the parachute known as martin is
kahuna
hashem tells moshe no
that
he says
says he told moshe to tell aaron
he tells them the responsibilities of
the cayden and the levia in protecting
the mishkan and serving in the michigan
and taking care of the michigan and all
of its details
and then he enumerates the madness
corner the various gifts that the kyanim
received
in perikit kass passage of
he speaks about
the fact after the curtain received
trumus
and the levine received mysterious
what's known as truman my situation
and then the passage says an interesting
light loss and that's the mind begins
the levy should serve
and do the work in the oil in the tent
in the mishkan
and
they should not they would not inherit
among the other jewish people the land
they were given places to live they
weren't given real estate that they
owned
but the language is
who
now obviously when you read this in los
angeles
right away your ears perk up because
the sentence is very difficult
you could say
alleviate this
the lady should do that void
who's the who
they say the lady should serve he
the void of the almighty
the the the structure is very difficult
to understand
now obviously the traitor it's it's a
detroit is safe
the lady should serve who he but it's
completely superfluous you said
this
all right
so this is it's one of these you see
that this is a message here
and it's beyond the shot because the
word who is completely uh
apparently unnecessary superfluous and
furthermore it just it would disturb the
sentence vavadalevi survived the
solomide
so the sawyer asks the question
[Music]
and the sawyer says
takadavanezerosa asks if another says
who batsman
he should do it himself over the levy
don't don't censor him
you use the levy who
it's still difficult because it says
that the israel shouldn't do it they
shouldn't come close and the lady should
do it so obviously levy's not sending
shlokhim from israel but that's the
point is that the the word who is
difficult
so
desire asks the question
what does who mean
[Music]
who is not
repeating the word he should do it the
lady is he
levy
what does this mean
so that's going to be the focus
says in the passion
the whole work of the livium was to
access
or to draw forth to be mamshak
means to draw forth to access
from the state of who
the
levy the whole aveda of the levy is
who
to bring out the who
how did he do it
of the almighty the who is not only not
an extra word it defines the avoid of
the levy
what does this mean what does it mean
muhammad is who what's who
who means he
who in in english is
h e is he who he
she says
represent something
it means bringing out
alma discarsia the concealed world into
alma desgali into the revealed world
that's
who
generally we know that
in la shinkai dish like in other
languages there's different ways of
communicating
depends if the person is here the person
is absent
atta when i say you
ato
right it's a second person you're right
in front of me and i can say you
if you say who he
it means you're not here right i'm not
going to
it's called los angeles like you speak
in third person the person is not
present
so you say he told me yesterday
right or he's in australia or he's in uh
london
in other words he's not right here it's
something that is more concealed that's
the word who versus atta
so that's
the grammar of hebrew how it works
when it's heaven of allah if it's
masculine and when it's hey you'd allah
if it's feminine
right
israel he named saatberg
it's different it's prosciutto spelling
that's over totally different you know
what i mean what
but it's who i don't know
at least in the lit
of aleph hey versus hey you the aleph
because he is feminine it's a woman and
who is masculine it's a zucker it's
masculine
so over the levy who the zoya says is
that avoid of the lady was to bring from
the concealed from who that which is not
present it's
kasia it's the concealed world and ahmad
is question to the revealed world into
ahmadis galion to the revealed world
and he says that's bina
that's what desire says now what does
this mean
first of all what does it mean to bring
for mohammed this question is god
second of all what's the connection to
being a third of all what's the
connection to the levine
and why does the toyota say it here
suddenly valve delay view
for indian to explain this
so for this we have to understand
the fundamental difference between
what's called in swarm of kabbalah
and in cities
literally
means the mind the maya is the mind
right the mind is the house
the the
brain
but the brain of course is the house it
houses the mind
the consciousness of the mind so mayfin
is the word that's used when you want to
describe
the brain the mind
awareness
a person's consciousness a person's
cognitive abilities it's called michen
you say
it means somebody who's intellectual
somebody who's cerebral
the mayak generally mayak is the brain
the mind
but in kabbalah it says
that there's merch in the abba
this is the level of the the merchant is
the awareness of the father and this
michael and is the mind of the imam of
the mother
in other words it's also called
is called
bin are both intellectual faculties
they're both abilities of the brain
right you have the three the first three
spheres
so these three are all parts of the
brain and of the mind but it's different
dimensions it's different faculties it's
also partially physically different
parts of the brain the right hemisphere
of the brain the left hemisphere of the
brain
is considered the right muscle is
considered the left it says this and so
yeah
today we also know it you know with the
cat scans and neuroscience so it's you
could see it
different parts of the brain that are
responsible
for different experiences in the body
and for different functional abilities
in the person including in cognition
so you have
what's the difference
has
so say three lines but
there's a lot a lot here in these lines
now these terms some of us are probably
familiar from different my modem because
these terms are not uncommon
but he puts it together
what is the balatani saying here
he says in the abba the first thing he
says is
and then he says it's
two words
if you reconfigure the letters
what are we
what are we that you're that you're
attacking us
and he says that's an element of
criticism means coldness
it's strange what does he mean it's cold
it's cold it's not hot
and then he connects it to eerie law
ireland means there's a higher level of
there's a urethra there's a lower level
of year it says in zaya it's in the
introduction there's different levels of
here so the zirita lower level
a higher level of view and he says that
that's yirabyshas
it's a year it's an or that's connected
to bishops positions is usually
translated as shame what's the
connection to shame and then he connects
it to apostle
which means
found
literally
means we're gonna find
me where you're gonna find you're not
gonna walk in the street and find wisdom
right where you're gonna find a smart
man where you gonna find them
in the street you could find in the
street a diamond you could find in the
street a hundred dollars
in the positive
[Music]
the awareness of the mother it's been
what's
310 worlds shy olympus 310
the pasek says
yes
i'm going to bequeath to my beloved ones
to my friends yes
310 yes also means something yes
i'll fill their
treasure treasure chest they're
outstressed i'll fill them
so he says mahendim
[Music]
because this
is the state in which a
ray
or a glimmer or a radiance
of his greatness
comes to a place where it can be
comprehended and grasped mamish in a
real way
havana is understanding and asaga's
grasp mamash
saba mela that's my
that's the description here
making the abba versus
now let's try to understand this what is
the balance saying what's the difference
between the two
[Music]
and then afterwards he's going to
explain
why the two are so essential
and necessary and not only that it says
in zoya that
they're two inseparable friends
which is my tati married mommy and mommy
married tati
as the kids used to say
this video
so he associates it immediately with
rachman bina
what's the difference between bina
so when many my modern already beginning
in tanya in chapter 3 and chapter 18 in
other places and the many my modem of
the balatanya
based on many explanations in the world
of kabbalah the world of siddhis
what's the difference between
the terms are used a lot you already
have in hummus
you have the concept of
the concept of bin about salo
it says
there's an indian of khakim there's an
indian of
bina
there's an enormous
maven
then there's a third indian das but here
the focus is
so it's called the father and the mother
the masculine and the feminine what's
the what's the difference
the key difference
he defines here is ayan and yash
and therefore it's connected to
you get it you understand it because
it's
a lawsuit
and that's the concept of yash
to try to bring this down what does this
mean
a very common metaphor
that's brought for hachman is if
somebody is struggling with an idea you
don't understand something
you read it and you read it again or you
read it again it's not that you don't
understand the language then it won't
help you're reading a hundred times you
understand the language you may even
understand the words but it's getting
started
you're learning a piece of gemara it's a
hard piece of gemara you read it you
read it again you know you're missing
something
or whatever else whatever you're reading
or you have a dilemma in life
it could be your reading positive
difficult text you have a dilemma in
life
and you're trying to figure things out
it could be a dilemma in business could
be a dilemma in a person's life whatever
it may be and the person is struggling
and they don't see a way out they don't
see a way out and you think about it
again and maybe you ask me but you just
don't have an understanding of this
this thing that you're reading this
thing you're trying to figure out this
thing you're learning
and then some of you know the feeling
very well maybe some more than others
you have what they call an english an
epiphany
an epiphany is you're walking in the
street
right and you thought you were
daydreaming really you were thinking
about your problem you didn't even
realize you were thinking about the
problem and suddenly boom
there's like uh
what is it called the light bulb mom
what do they call it the
a brainstorm
a light bulb goes off you know
like literally a light bulb goes out
alternatively calls it in the borough
maverick
it's like a pit yeah in the wilderness
and pitch dark i don't know if you ever
had the experience
and so ah a blitz a blitz yeah
a blitz and there's a buttock buttock is
lightning a maverick and it sheds it
casts such a powerful light you know the
intensity of the light of the lightning
and the electricity it's incredibly
powerful
half liver fellow what there is in that
electricity and one lightening
and suddenly there's a light that goes
off literally like a light goes off in
your brain
you're like reading and or reading
you're reading the text you're walking
maybe you're sitting on the couch on a
monday morning or wednesday afternoon
and there's a lightning that goes off i
was like ah
you just feel you got it
you got it you got the idea or you're
trying to figure something out and
suddenly something pops into your brain
where did it come from
out of nowhere
where did it come from can we identify
where it came from no
it just came in but where did attacker
come from ups delivered it amazon
amazon made a delivery prime delivery
straight to your brain
it's a very powerful feeling when it
happens
what is that what is that that's called
generally that's called
then there is bina
bin is very different
wow you fill it somebody says what i
said i got it tell me what do you get no
i can't talk i can't tell you anything
why can't you tell me if you got it i
can't say it if you say you're going to
ruin it
you have to sit with it it's not yet
ready
it's not yet uh
it's a akhla paga you know when you eat
the fig that's unripe it's called pagan
mishnais it's not ready to be eaten it's
not ready to be digested
tell me tell me i can't tell you
anything
you have to sit with it you have to
develop it literally you have to develop
it you got this seminal idea you got the
point you got the core you got the atmos
but it has no uh
it has no caleb it has no it has to be
fleshed out it needs flesh fleshed out
ah
no structure
no bones no sinews
no expression it needs to be expanded
needs to be developed
if not
if it stays at that point the lightening
doesn't stay forever the lightening
comes and goes it's all over
similar to the seed of the father
the seed of the father the tipper
has tremendous kayak we know that
it pollinates the egg
and through that
with its combination with the egg of the
mother the half a cell and the half of
so you create the first cell
which develops being hashem into the
embryo that grows into a fetus that will
grow into a child that can be born
but at that seminal point
at that seminal point before the nine
months of development right if somebody
says oh we have a child here
child won't be able to be viable nothing
will remain
and that sometimes happens you know
miscarriage etcetera or there's no
there's no
the conception doesn't happen or even
the conception happens the later stages
of development don't happen for whatever
reason
so you need the mother
that's my that's why bina is connected
to the mother
and is connected to the father
because the mother is the one who takes
it
and she develops it in her womb not in
the father's womb but the biological
structure of how hashem created the
birth of a child represents like
everything
[Music]
everything in a person's life represents
it's a mirror of the way things are
kevayakal in the spiritual structure of
the universe and the divine structure
that's the inside of of teresa mister me
sorry
like always quotes
from my flesh i can perceive
hashem
so from your own mechanisms from your
own soul you can exel
you could see a lacus you can appreciate
the lacus
so those are the two stages
now very often it doesn't happen with us
because if i'm just reading material
that's not difficult i don't need
if you're just reading cereal boxes or
you know the sports section in the
newspaper
right over hello magazine and somebody
once told me
that he stopped reading magazines years
ago i said why he said because he
realized that every week it says the
same thing it's just the letters are
configured in a different
different order but it basically says
the same thing it's not challenging him
so then you're not going to need an
epiphany right okay it's the same you
know same old
is is a process where there's a
difficulty with something and there has
to be a breakthrough
now the sheila is
why does it work this way you see that's
how it works
is is there a cycle behind this
what's the what's
the um
what's the reasoning
what's the what is it called a
a rhythm to the
what's the meaning behind us
the meaning behind this is quite
profound
so this explains that latanya explains
that
in every relationship
whenever there's a relationship
between two things or two people
there's always a question
the question is
who yields to whom when two cars
are coming into the same row to have a
sign yield or stop
either you take the right you have the
right away or eye of the right away
whenever you have a relationship
who dominates the relationship is it one
person or is it the other person do they
both have to compromise
that's a question you have relationships
whereas they say one person wears the
pants and the other person becomes
completely subservient to you
i lose my identity in you
you have a relationship the opposite you
lose your identity in me
obviously
there's something challenging in those
relationships why because it's not an
ultimate relationship
because one of the people can't be there
with their full presence right there's a
t-shirt i once told you i'm very easy to
get along with once you learn to worship
me
but if you don't learn to worship me i'm
not easy to get along with so whenever
there's a relationship there is always
this challenge yeah who is the one who
defines the relationship
is it you who defines it and i'm just
subservient to you or is it the other
way around
and sometimes there's a lot of learning
curves creating space
compromising opening yourself up to the
other
meeting each other halfway right take a
marriage if there's people don't learn
how to compromise they don't learn how
to see the other person's perspective
it's impossible it's not
unless it's going to be very difficult
or somebody's just going to lose their
identity
you have to learn it works both ways i
have to learn your perspective i have to
listen i have to open myself up to your
mindset it's not so easy for people
especially if you're a very defensive
person not because of yourself because
of your wounds you can't really let
other people into your life it's very
very hard
right people who suffer from different
conditions based of amazingness
it's a big challenge you know what i'm
talking about you're looking at me like
i'm saying something strange you never
heard about these issues huh it's a very
common thing it's a very difficult thing
sometimes people not even they're they
would like to the person maybe bush
doesn't know how to it doesn't know how
to for him it's a form of suicide to let
somebody else in
if he gives up space if he gives up any
stockhim of his territory it's going to
be he's afraid you know hamas is going
to take over because that's where he's
been living for many years now i'm not
going to describe the neuroscience of it
the trauma of it et cetera that megadill
all these all these titus but it's it's
real stuff okay so let's now go back to
a more a deeper place
is about a relationship
there's a relationship between people
but everything there's a relationship
between me and an idea
when an idea comes into my mind it's a
relationship it's a relationship between
me and the idea it's a marriage
in kabbalah it's called zivugim
everything is a zevo again kabbalah
there's nothing about this not a ziva if
you're familiar a little bit
more bin it's called zevo means marriage
intimacy
everything is
everything is relationships why is
everything relationships because
i'll pick ebola everything is a
relationship the dna of the world is a
relationship
the first thing is hashem wanted a
relationship
it's not good for man to be alone that's
the beginning the first thing light
taught this
he says
before creation hashem
felt it's not good for me to be alone
sloazer
i want to create a help connect through
that position
[Music]
so the whole fabric of creation is a
relationship
it's not like relationships are some
mistake in the world you know at some
point you got to get married your
parents want to get rid of you we
already want knackers from your kids so
we throw you out of the house get
married
right it's what often we don't
understand
right people think that the world of
yiddish is the world of relationships
and somehow rabbi waiwa uses too much
time too many times the word
relationships why are you somebody come
to the word relationships
saga shavats an ish and chain of art
right so you want to use a different
word you can use a different word you
could use the word from kiss foreign
[Laughter]
i'm not invested in the english word
relationships but the point is
that relationships is not just a detail
in the world it's the essence of it's
the essence of creation
it's the essence of matantora the matter
says
when i
want to absorb an idea that idea coming
into me is a form of a marriage there's
a relationship between me and the idea
and many great things could come of it
like in any relationship or nothing
could come of it that depends on the
situation
whenever there's a relationship the
question is who dominates
is it me or is it the idea who dominates
do i wear the pants the relationship or
does the idea wear the pants in the
relationship
what i'm saying sounds abstract but
you'll see how this develops
huh
or they could become equal and how does
that happen is it like 50 50.
so you have two stages you have two
stages
stage number one is hakama stage number
one two is bina
what's the what's the reason that a
certain idea couldn't come into my head
i couldn't understand it you understood
it right away i couldn't we're learning
the same text
i read it you read it you read it again
you read it again
doesn't go in
so there could be many different
explanations but then it could in all of
them is
that there's something that's not
letting it come in
there's a blockage whatever the blockage
is
if i want to use a very physical
metaphor even though it's inappropriate
maybe it's not too technical but if i
have a cup and the cup is 7 ounces so 7
ounces could fit into the cup
if you want to give me 20 ounces you
want to give me a gallon you need to
give me a different cup so there's a cup
and there's a cup
right a cup has certain barometers at
least those that i'm used to i have
certain walls i have seven ounces you
give me something that's seven ounces my
cup contains it if you give me something
that's 20 ounces 30 ounces yeah 50
ounces you start giving me gallons and
100 gallons i'm sorry
i'm like you got the wrong guy go find
another cup
you can almost feel it sometimes it's
like your head is resisting like
don't go my head is not a kaley for this
my cup doesn't go there i need things
that i could contain
this this idea is too deep for me it's
too challenging for me it's beyond
the walls of my cup
it's beyond the parameters of my brain
it's not really beyond the parameters of
my brain because how much percent of our
brain do we use throughout our life but
it's beyond huh
five com five
huh
if you're einstein five percent and if
you're not einstein we won't even give
the number but it's a very small percent
but my perceived parameters of my brain
i'm like sorry my cup is too small for
this
leave me alone
what has to happen
the first thing that has to happen is
what does it mean what are we what is he
saying what are we
much has explained to the jewish people
you don't understand me
you think
that i'm
hungry for power i'm trying to control
you
i'm trying to manipulate you i'm trying
to exploit you
trying to use you
trying to exercise
my power over you so you're attacking me
you're criticizing me you're judging me
you're getting want to stone me
maishrabena says you have to learn who i
am
what am i what are we
and that's the
basically what maishrabenu is saying is
i'm not looking to be powerful over you
i'm your servant
i'm a conduit
there's no eye present who's trying to
control situations i'm a messenger of
hashem
i don't have an identity
that is separate
that's trying to overpower you
what's the word
it's the kayak
to say what
it's the power to say what ma curiosity
inquisitiveness it's also the kayak of
ma
it's the kayak
that it doesn't have an identity doesn't
have an ego the definition of the kayak
is ma what is it
if you ask me who are you
i don't have a name
why because definition of
openness to something that's beyond me
to something that's transcendent to
something that's higher than my
perceived brain what happens you look
whenever you have an epiphany whenever
something pops into your brain whenever
you have that blitz that lightening
moment the light bulb well what happened
a few seconds before most people don't
realize this
but next time you have an epiphany ask
yourself what happened a few seconds
before a few minutes before a few hours
before and you'll see i'll tell you what
happened
what happened was
you read it once you read it twice you
read it three times
you couldn't understand it
you tried again and again and again
maybe for days maybe for weeks
it wasn't going you know what happened
you got frustrated with yourself
frustrated in a good way it's the
recognition that i really don't get it
i really don't get it in other words as
long as i'm i i am i i don't get it
that's humility that's the beginning of
kayak
it's the beginning of
what happened right before the epiphany
was you were walking in the street
and you were completely focused on that
idea
you were so focused on that you didn't
realize how focused you were on it you
know when you're thinking about
something and you don't realize you're
thinking about it
right and then when the shear is over
he's like oh
wow for five minutes i was thinking
about this i didn't even realize you
were so immersed in you know those
daydreams right the good daydreams
you were so immersed in it
you were so immersed in it that you
didn't realize you were immersed in it
you were so immersed in the idea that
your consciousness was completely there
you weren't conscious about the fact
that you're being conscious you were
completely focused
what happens at that moment
your eye
surrenders
or is trying to surrender to the truth
and because your eye was mavatal itself
how was it with itself not through
hammers and not through stones and not
through axes
and not through uh
swords it was without itself from from
an internal space
where you just become frustrated annoyed
with your intellectual ego and you
realize there's something much deeper
and you were completely immersed on the
idea so what happened was
you literally
like by irikai the walls of my cup
came down
and it created space for ayan
it created space what's ayan
what's ayan
we always say it's not nothingness it's
no thing-ness
it's an idea that comes from a place
that's beyond
a thing
it's beyond that which i could have
grasped a moment ago for me it was iron
why was it iron because i had no fish in
it
my cup couldn't grab it it didn't fit
into my vessels it transcended my
vessels it was something deeper
but when i put down my ego when i laid
down the walls i created space
right i expanded the cup so the iron
says oh
now i could come in
now i could come in you know the kotzker
famously asked his talmidam who is god
where is hashem they said everywhere he
said name allah will you let him in
the qatar didn't know that
he didn't say it in chakras
in poland they didn't have uncle
meishi's song
hashem is there hashem is truly
everywhere who is god
and i a question of who is god
for nate says
there's no space devoid of him
yeah god is everywhere but the question
is too
where are you
he's here but where are you
he says
i have to i have to let you in
letting you in is a very very heavy step
he calls it a tactless habitual
tackle
there's a mission in pakistan
closer than the peridot elisha benava
the only time alicia benavoya is quoted
and mishnai is the only time elisha navi
if i'm not mistaken is quoted by his
name
khazal didn't even like to refer to him
by his name they called him
because he was from the old from
hundreds of tanoyman
is the only one who was otd
he went over there
but there was a big sensation because
alicia benavoya wasn't the bizarre
ayosh of chronos and he was the web of
rabbi akiva he was he told me one of the
hadar so the fact that he left yiddish
kite obviously you understand it made
the whatsapps were busy for a few months
the whatsapps if you remember you
remember the whatsapps everybody was
busy with alicia they stopped calling
about the fact that they changed his
name you could see it was a trauma
would they change his name for they
called him
they didn't even want to say his name
ramayana continued to learn by him so
he's not quoted
but in pre-k of his
pedigree decided to quote him
benavoi and what did he quote him it's a
very interesting thing what did he quote
him
to a child
it's like ink
transcribed on fresh paper fresh papirus
fresh parchment
it's fresh it's new
and the ink gets absorbed beautifully
into the
into the paper
you teach toilet to osaka into an old
person
it's like writing on your machoque if
you have a piece of paper you wrote and
then you erase and you write again and
you race
so the ink is not easily absorbed that's
what a leadership says
the obvious question is my commercial
what's the hidden of the mishna
everybody knows you need alicia benavide
to tell you that when children learn
something
it goes in much deeper and it stays
there you know children are like wet
sponges they absorb everything if you
want to teach a language
to an adult good luck
right children their brains are so
are so pliable and so impressionable
right you remember your children
remember everything
they remember what you said they
remember what you did
my kid sometimes reminds me what i said
to him 10 years ago i don't remember
what i said yesterday
what's the hidden of the mishna
that children absorb much better i mean
it's a it's a well-known fact
to say it but there's also another
question
prickly of this is not stump statements
about life pricky obviously the gummy
says
it helps people develop medicine
if he's trying to teach you
that you should teach toyota to your
child you shouldn't wait till he becomes
an adult
if he's just saying that it's a good
thing to teach a child he wants to
encourage you even more and explain it
to you fine so he could say don't lose
the childhood the years to learn and
don't lose the childhood is you teach
your child but the second half is a
little disturbing because let's say
there's a jew who didn't learn tight as
a child take it
was a litigious
student and friend he didn't learn to
until he was 40. he comes to such a
mishna what are you telling him
whatever yeah whatever you learn it's
going to be
even if you want to bring out the point
say it in the positive encourage people
to teach toyota to little children when
they're young because it's going to be
absorbed like never before you really
have to say the negative what's going to
be the message
an older person who never learned what
is he taking out of this mishna
if a fallen a lost case it's it's old
nayamak nothing is going to go in let's
say you have yiddin balichuva yeah they
didn't learn toyota until they were 30
40 50 60. i know what you do became
about true at 79.
79 started to become baltruva
i know a person in their 80s they're
thinking about becoming bolshevik
huh
right
now imagine starting to learn gemara you
might just start even reading hebrew so
you open up a mishra prakayo is one of
the first things you learned right
djokes
gets erased
what's the havana
it was once a fabregan shabbos afternoon
in the summer days prikayovas
would teach a mission and he would
explain it so he asked these questions
and he said that shouting the mission is
much deeper
the mission is not only talking about
biology the mission is only talking
about a child and an old person in years
he says years don't always go by the
passport
years go by the attitude the mission is
talking about a way of learning
alicia benavoya is teaching how to learn
you could be an old person but you learn
as a child and you can be a young person
but you learn as an old person what's up
he says i could be
[Music]
a young person but i'm learning like a
zakin what's what i'm learning like
he says it's an approach
i'm not really ready for anything new
i'm not
i'm not i already have
my way my mahalak my structure
i'm ready to listen but it has to fit in
to the filing cabinets i have a filing
cabinet i'll take out a file i'll put
you into the file for cart and then it's
a nice vart
so ups another vert i could say it over
sharpens by the table say it over
shallow should i say it over by military
say it over to mccarus you understand
you know you guys know that
huh
and if attacker doesn't fit in if it
doesn't fit in what do i do
either i fall asleep
or i dismiss it i dismiss it or i make
it fit in i make it fit in i don't i
only hear that which i'm capable of
hearing so alicia benavilla says that's
not how you're supposed to learn
you have to always be a yelled
a child how does a child learn you see
it in children's faces that's why
it's so painful to see when we use
children
and we give them information
that is sometimes destructive
because they're so innocent you know
when you speak to young goliath the
moment you are it's a tremendous hazard
it could be a tremendous on the contrary
however
that child he says is completely open
there's no cynicism
child didn't shut down yet
the child takes it in child is ready to
hear new things
and that's why children have such good
memories why do your children remember
almost everything and adults don't and
the answer is you'll forgive me i hope
present company excluded most adults
when they listen they're not listening
they're developing opinions
you can ask when you listen to something
are you really listening or you're
actually thinking that was good
that was good i like it i don't agree he
said that already oh that i know this
i'm gonna use right you know what i mean
anybody knows what i'm talking about
adults fit with opinions even if your
opinion is good
even if your opinion is wow it's amazing
you're not listening you're
complimenting
[Laughter]
there's a time to cop the time to listen
wow
i'm going to say it over i'm not
listening
i'm having an opinion
children listen
so elizabeth is saying you have to learn
like a child it's not about years
how should you learn
it can really go in how can it really go
in only through
bitter and i should tell you it's not
easy because these are subconscious
things
it's not like i tell myself i'm not
really going to listen to a new thing no
of course i would listen to new things
subconsciously i'm not ready to step
away
i'm not ready to step away i have a
mahalak and sometimes the more developed
you are the more dangerous you are
because if you were ashaykitz
right you understand what i'm saying ah
there's an expression in gemara and
this is and i was a little sensitive
caleb martin littara srikimtvila the
kaidish you know what that means some of
you looked mr khagigigan not long ago
caleb and the gemarium littara srikham
thriller kaidos it means it's follows
kali until it's complete until it's
usable can't get tame
when you're building a vessel a caglio
it doesn't get tommy until it's enigma
until it's finished so let's say
somebody's tummy is fashioning the kelly
i don't care because as long as it's not
complete
it can't get tommy but caleb
when the kaylee is you're doing the
final touches and you make sure that
only a pure person did it so the caylee
was completed
you could use it for anything
if you want to use it for kirbanis let's
say you want to put a carbon katas in it
right
a holy food you have to put it in the
mikvah again it's a special humra that
khazal made for carbonus
and i'm complete and i'm complete in my
purity
the same letters like habitual because
going to the mikvet phil is bitter
habitual hey beiji tesla
what does it mean to go under the water
under the water you can't live so why do
we go under the water because under the
water means you're going to a place
where essentially it's a form where if i
would stay there you can't live
and then you become pure because the
only way you could become pure is if you
completely step out
of the identity the way you know it you
go into the mikka which is a place that
you can't live so it's really a form of
transformation of metamorphosis it's
to be able to experience kadusa if i'm
not a kaili hanigma batara right so then
i'm actually more open i'm like a child
that's why and i say this with a lot of
sensitivity and respect sometimes it's
much easier to speak to secular jews
than it is to religious jews
you understand why
because the secular jew has an advantage
he often doesn't think that he knows
anything about judaism
he never grew up with it
but the from jew
and chris alts
what in the world are you going to tell
me
i know everything
i you and me know he knows nothing
he knows nothing he knows a lot of
information but he knows nothing
because the entire brain was molded by a
certain conception of judaism that is
extremely extremely
extremely extremely narrow extremely
limited and sometimes even
ridiculous and sometimes even abusive
but even if not abusive it's sometimes
very very narrow and limited
right but how do you tell that to
somebody
so you understand the level of bitter
you need so caleb
they need much more bitter
because i know it already i should
become a yelled i'm not a child i'm a
zakim
so alisha benavuya says no
i don't care if you're 90 years old be a
child i love my toilet
remain a child
open completely
open that takes a lot of inner
confidence a lot of security because
sometimes there's a lot of voices in me
that say things are settled don't shake
them up
right
you're tough is what i'm saying
everybody
ah you have no opinion
you have no opinion
why did
and and the represent said that's why he
quotes elizabeth
because the gemara says about alishan
that uh
at his bris
his f
his buddhist
the tanoyam were all sitting
and the father saw they were learning
they were waiting for the bridge so they
were learning
and the father saw he had the hatanayama
there and the father saw
the fire
coming out of their mouths and he says
i the words were full of simcha like
when it was given from sinai he felt the
crush of our sinai so the father said if
this is the kayak of toyota i want to
dedicate my child to torah
and he dedicated alicia benavoya to
torah that's what the urushami says
so alicia benavuya even though later he
left but as a child
he was absorbed with torah
so in many ways this mission in
prikeyavas
brings out something very special that
haloima thoroughly yelled at the mahou
diamond goes in deep and deep and alicia
even though later he left it but as a
child
he was completely absorbed with it
and that means that it became part of
his essence part of his core
so many ways it's like a certain apidian
hanashama redemption of the soul
because the gemara is a whole story in
new york probably how they you know
his talmudim wanted to get him out of
gehenna
so the mission here is bringing out
something very special in the name of
alicia benavoya which also applies to
alicia benavoya
so
all of this
all of this okay we'll finish in three
minutes it's very late but what does
this all bring out this is the first
step
the first step in the marriage is the
first step in a relationship is i have
to be completely open
to the other
[Music]
really open
and that takes kayechma
and that's where always there's an
epiphany there will never be a barakah
maverick
if i'm in a state of yesh
if you're trying to control it it's
never going to happen you say i'm going
to understand the idea you better go
into me it will run away
the epiphany always happens
in a moment when you're not in control
[Music]
why
why why couldn't you i better get it i'd
better get it because if i better get it
you're not gonna get it
it always has to happen from the person
opening themselves up to something
deeper
then there's stage two
what's the problem with
the problem with khakim is it's amazing
but i'm not there
the eye clarity but it forest but it was
a real forest it was like wilderness so
when it became dark it became dark it's
not like in the city where it becomes
dark but it's never really dark you know
there's always a light here and a light
there there you really saw what pitch
dark is i mean pressure couldn't see
anything
and
i'm laughing it was pretty dangerous and
then i remember there was a lightning
but the house was pitch dark and then
there was a lightning so we managed to
see where there was a candle and a match
the lightning was gone it was pitch dark
but we now knew
to walk to that place and light a candle
when we lit a candle it was light so
there was nothing got me
is i got it
bin there you resurface
back into your reality and with your
identity you take apart that light
and you flesh it out and you assimilate
it into the structures of your mind
that's called bina
after been
i got it
but you'll notice something
in bina you will never have the clarity
that you had in karma
and people always crave to go back
that moment i got it
why
because the clarity of chakra came
because i wasn't present
and in bina i'm present
so it never has that same clarity also
you'll see
never comes in many words it's always a
few words
been it comes in a lot of words
because
it doesn't come with many isis it's
usually six words five words four words
seven words
the epiphany doesn't come with big words
because it's it's pre-ocean it's beyond
verbal
there's different levels of
etsam is pre-verbal
it's like almost like a picture
[Music]
bina is all about words because bin is
names and structures and stories and
definitions and descriptions so bin is
issues
so that's the first thing he explains
in the abba is bitter
is yes
the state
in which i transcend my eyes i'm open to
a completely new concept
that's transcendent
is the opposite
is
[Music]
it
fits into my structure because if it
stays in the world of
it's amazing but i wasn't there
i lost myself in khachama
now you need to lose yourself in order
to find yourself because if you don't
lose yourself what are you going to find
right immediately
so you have to lose yourself to find
yourself because if you don't lose
yourself
if you lose yourself there's something
to find i'm such a client
so in
that stage of the relationship i'm
completely open
it's very very deep bitter and then bin
is
bring it back
into your kalem into your vessels it
says in zohar
is
in many ways bin is more than because
you could talk about it you can give it
russia you can write it down you could
buy the paper you could write a safer
me can't write anything
but bina li
is darkness
because the
will never be replicated in bina
and the reason i'll never be replicated
in business because bina imposes
structure
on something that's really beyond
structure
you're feeling what i'm saying you have
experienced this if if you deal with
ideas you know the difference of
you have that light
it it doesn't repeat itself it's like a
lightening it goes away it's too elusive
because you can't grab it because if you
grab it
it's not it
say and i iron by definition doesn't let
you grab it
because if you grab it it's not iron
it's a thing i can grab a tissue box
right
but how do you grab light grab light
now if light was only a particle maybe
you can grab it if light is a wave how
do you grab it
so whenever something is yash
you can grab it when something is iron
if you try to grab it you'll grab
everything you won't grab the iron so
whenever we try to grab god or grab
yiddish guy to grab truth what happens
you don't get it
right
the definition of
that i don't get it i don't get it
you're right
it gets me
that's the nakuda of iron that's kayak
says that's who i am
that's who i moshe's identity was
he says it a few times in hamish that is
his identity martial
that is his kayak it's the kayak i don't
have a name
is a child
in the most beautiful sense of the word
and therefore absorbs new things
that be on its own won't absorb it
now
really work together they're best
friends
they could also not work together they
can get divorced
but ultimately
have to get married
because they're an amazing marriage but
an amazing marriage is only when bina
really respects
and really respects bina
and makes it concrete you know how
husbands come home and they tell their
wives i have an idea
i have a dream
and she's like relax
let's analyze this you know when
husbands say i have an unbelievable
kalamaya trip for the family
really and who's making the food and how
we're getting there and what happens
when the kids have to go to the bathroom
right and what happens you forgot
there's a dentist appointment a doctor's
appointment
right oh i didn't realize
[Laughter]
so many need a very good marriage as we
will see
have a wonderful day based hashem will
continue tomorrow
7 45 a.m
huh
i'll tell a lot of stuff
it's even says over there in gemara one
of the opinions is that because his
father dedicated him to tyra only
because he saw the fire with shalila
shema so therefore it affected his
learning
that's one thing in the story we saw
a kid die by sheila khan and
you know this story a father sent his
son
to do the midst of shiloh khan and a
snake bit him
he did the mitzvahs
only two mitzvahs the toyota promises
so he saw a lot he saw different things
in his life
you know he saw the hurban of bayershini
there were different things that
happened it caused them to uh
to leave the gemara says
he was one of the four who went into the
orchard
no you know he's a big minder the mayor
continued to learn by him but he himself
was kittens beneteaus yeah
kevalde
waves particles yeah they're not they
thought it was a particle and they
realized it's a wave they thought it's a
wave and then they realize it's both and
the paradox coexist
that's true
let's assume that even matter is what if
you see or is it
so
nice
that's true that's true even matter even
matter we know is not structure matter
is also light
and einstein showed that energy and
matter right
that's true
but as we're going to see bin is the way
that the earth gets gras what makes
matter matter
our perception of it our perception of
it makes it matter
right max planck said that
we used to think consciousness is a
derivative of matter today we know
matter is a derivative of consciousness
what makes matter matter is
consciousness my perception of it the
tools i use and that's exactly what bin
is the tools i use
to define it in a certain way that work
for my system that's what makes matter
matter and that's why it's called yes
but it's really all art
of course of course it sounds like a
little illusion of course
i wouldn't call it an illusion because
it's part of the reality that god
created the tools are part of the
reality so it's not an illusion of the
sense that we're that it's
a diminion
that it's you know just not based in
reality but it's it's it's based on the
certain tools
which are based on perception which are
part of reality it's also part of
reality
and if there is no observer
the fact that even in light
the fact that even in light right when
we observe it right we can observe the
paradox when we observe light it
collapses into one model one modality
means
one or another because the observer
imposes
his or her limits on the reality and
that becomes the reality for them it's
not it's not a joke it's not like a
cynical uh you know magical trick
i really impose my reality when there's
no observer
the reality can remain in its
paradoxical uh dualities
scientifically measure something in the
lab the measurements of the probes yes
interferes with the measurements yes
that's unbelievable
in a lab we know when we measure things
the measurements the the measuring
interferes
with what you're measuring so the moment
you're measuring it
you're you're not measuring it
that that's the nucleus in the moment
you're measuring it
it's beautiful but you're not measuring
it anymore
to not measure it you actually have to
close your eyes
not measure it
because because it's not measurable
measuring is already an imposition but
by the way this is a physical this is
why all of science today is all based on
humility it's based on transcendence and
humility if not
you're uh you're completely distorting
reality
you have to be a child you have to
completely be a child if you're a
physicist today you know that in order
for something to exist it needs to be an
observer to observe it so this world
right not exist without observing
if there is no one that's incredible
if there's nobody to observe it you're
saying it doesn't exist the matter
doesn't exist do you exist
so so so we have a fascinating idea it's
almost
like hashem wanted to create a world in
order to do that
he had to create an observer
we become observers and that's what
makes the world the world and that's why
you actually and if we and if we
transcend
if we transcend ourselves as being
observers we go what's called the
observatory you know when they have
these places we observe if we transcend
that position
and we we become aligned with the source
so the whole world becomes part of
infinity
is a wave not a particle
by the way by the way the wave matter
and energy it's all the same
comes from
and einstein wave matter and energy
einstein made the yeah
yeah equation between energy and matter
right and the planck made the equation
wave energy manner
[Music]
