bud is the glorious from the word covered and hanoi is the awesome one and the Rambam uses these two terms not randomly of course no expression in the Rambam is random he was precise and meticulous with every word because it's these two terms that elicit the two emotions that he describes this God who was glorious and Austin there's a mitzvah to love him to develop a love to cultivate a Nava and

allaha base very he had eres la vas Julie Rousseau what is the path to love Hashem and to experience all of our shell the Rambam here presents his classic extraordinary answer how one achieves this halacha this is a hollow sets a mitzvah the Mitzvah of love and there's a mitzvah of or avesta' seminaries and masters are similar texts are similar cafeteria what's the derrick what's the path to achieve this says they're Amish or she is born inaudible mass of and I flew in Oaxaca Doyle when a person contemplates and meditates on God's actions and on his creations which are absolutely glorious and wonderous stupendous and extraordinary Veera mayhem hawk Messiah Amla Aerith Malloy cakes and he will see from them and in them the divine wisdom the divine energy which has no error and no Cates no Cates means it's limitless and it surpasses any type of comparison and the person comes in contact with infinity the person studying the world a person studying Hashem is creation says the Rambam comes in contact with divine infinity with divine reality with the divine energy with the divine wisdom me add immediately who are you he loves OMA shabbiha extols OMA fire glorifies Oh miss avert ivic de la ley de abogado and experiences an extraordinary powerful yearning aspiration pining craving to know to come in contact with with with Hashem truth with her Smith with the Great God Hashem megundal miss a Vltava girdle is his words he has this tremendous desire to know this the great name literally a megundal is the great name come on I made of it this is expressed in the words of Devon I'm Ellison tehilim chapter 42 love it says summer naff she'll a lake in Lakai Lakai my soul thirsts for Hashem for the living for the Living God some are now a liquid ok shemitah' shave what is the ramen telling us here the ramen is saying that when somebody contemplates delves into analyzes they sects Hashem is creation and every single creation all of his acts and every every liver every one of brew of and each one is wondrous it sniffler its intricacies the system the collective system the individual nuances and details all the aspects of it every Nivea is is an if Allah it's it's it's stupendous it's extraordinary it's gigantic its major and a person perceives in it the divine the divine wisdom and a person perceives in it infinity the program says UCI shams wisdom which has no comparison there's no comparison to it and aim locates this evokes a sense of of deep deep praise deep appreciation deep gratitude and deep yearning and deep love to come in contact with it to know it that we have a relationship with it to be to be close to it and the Rambam says Fukushima Hashem but very milliwatts mo and when you think about these very things themselves there's also a very different emotion Miya drew near to la jolla of this expresses itself in a sensation with a person recoils near to laughs right of me like I recoil the year of you if not with a sense of deep or deep reverence the idea the person becomes aware show who be react Daanish Fela Fela amid Buddhist kalamu Goethe the phenytoin Deus the person becomes aware that he is a tiny lowly and dark small creature standing with this flimsy limited wisdom before the one who is of perfect knowledge of wholesome perception tomash armored of it here - mm Allah in the same book in the same safer tehilim chapter eight gives expression when he says quieres Emeka my seeds bisetta yo ray of the cover ma chere koi nante mou NOS kisses Keanu who've an autumn kiss if Kedah know the venom Allah says when I see their heavens the work of your fingers he continues the moon the stars that you have established I wonder what is the human being that you should recall him the ma energy sis Kadena what doesn't even mean they recall the person feels humble the person feels small the person gets overwhelmed with a sense of of a reverence reverence and awe in the presence of an this is what the Rambam calls URIs Hashem the or of divinity all the Fiat var remain and thus based on these words that I just told you this is a book of halacha this to howl office there's two laws a versus Remini recession and this is the safer that is the ultimate guide the Rambam said for halakhah so therefore I have to do something right now the Fiat very mellow very unusual for a halakhah quark but this is what I have to do now what do I have to do and the Maverick law limiting them in my serie buying high Lama I'm going to explain great principles from the work about the work of the creator of the world kadesha EU PASOK la maven la vie session so they should serve as a Vista as an opening for the discerning person to be able to experience the love of Hashem it's interesting he doesn't say in here he doesn't say the word year he just says average should be a Vista for a visesa Kadesh kumara car come and be in your Nava because it could be because the ramen is saying that the war is always a result of the love because it's coming from the very same awareness that brought out the love which is very fascinating that according to the ramen here is Hashem is a direct offspring it's a derivative of a possession he says crime of fashion but vara Morello aunts mom when I contemplate these very ideas and truths that that Brill brought out such a love that itself these truths itself produce in the healthy functional human being the sense of awe and the sense of reverence so he says I have to explain I have to explain great principles about creation so it should be a door for this discerning person to be able to love commercial broker come and Binion a ver as the sages said about love me to cast at the maki resubmission of oil on their arm on coats and say from its wrists one of the teachings of our sages that when a person learns delves into and studies Hashem is creation from this sakamaki from this you recognize the one who spoke and the world came into being I recognized divinity I reckon something about godliness and this sensation is one of deep love and profound or it reminds me they tell a story a beautiful story about the bow hetalia the alte Rebbe Rabbi Schneider's almond of Lee Adi who's the founder of Kabaddi was born 1745 passed away 1812 and he once went to SH glove glove was as is a city in Luther a Nia and it was a city filled with uranium to media coming been a tailor and he went into the shul and he went on to the BIM and the ball Tania gave a clap on the BIM and he used to speak used to communicate with a famous Ligon with a melody he would always communicate even regular conversation with a migit and actually this n-- of this statement it was shared by one of the people who was there to be of Cobre was his name and he shared it with subsequent generations of disciples and it came down all the way to our generation the in with which the ballot Anya said these words he stood up on the beam he gave a clap and he said Tom Uruk Ito Vava far Zook veteran as the a bridge there is goat Tama again from tehilim till allah muhammad ahmad some of us say travis morning Camus taste tom tom MUFAs ooh-ooh-ooh and you will see kitto hashem as gateless kite is good that that godliness is good it's it's delicious it's desirable the rama me says when you when you come in contact with infinity when you touch when you touch infinity when you sense the truth of divinity of the divine reality it results in a tremendous sense of Thai Ngoc he says you glorify you love you your and you point you want more and more and more this is the Rambam definition and path to Ava's Hashem when somebody looks at the world anything big picture or the small picture you get in touch with Adel kite and when you get an amusing a Yiddish word Adel kite is refinement the ultimate transcendent truth the core simplicity of reality and there are mom says you can't resist that when you observe it because Perlman is somebody once said I don't know what he's talking about there if you get in touch with it you can't resist it you want it more and more it's too lovable it's to give smack Tomoyuki Teversham it's worthwhile to mention a beautiful teaching of the malbim the malbim was one of the great rabbinic scholars and leaders of the 19th century he passed away Rosh Hashanah to fresh men that would be 18 1879 his name was Rebbe mayor libel Ben Reb you feel Mikkel Malbin mayor lie bridge beneath heel missile Ramaiya lie bush wiser was his last name he was born in Ukraine he was the rabbi of Bucharest Romania he was a very influential figure also suffered a lot of persecution and rode brilliant commentary commentary on the Tanakh as well as many other works so the malbim writes on the pasta connacher a der leader you Shabbat moussaka what does that mean from generation to generation your works are praised says the Malbin we know that the word Shiva also means it becomes better it becomes increased in game Arya have a lot Shiv a spade astrak-- asada the field increases it's promoted it is benefit to it it becomes better and superior it's mokuba so there malbim says der leader you Shabazz Messiah in each generation we learn more to appreciate your work because in each generation as we develop new tools in science new scientific technological tools to be able to see the world to be able to see the person to be able to see any part of the world you shall become a second your work becomes better and better meaning we perceive so much more of the incredible infinite wisdom that is embedded in every tiny detail of nature and how true was the Marylebone writing in the 1800s how true we can apply this today what the ramen is saying the more you learn the more you study the more you explore what do you see you see the more oneness you see the more infinity you see the incredible you see the holistic oneness and harmony of creation you see the infinite potentiality and incredible holiness and depth that exists in every single being individually and in all of us collectively you know you study whether it's neuroscience whether it's cosmology whether it's astronomy whether it's biology whether it's geology all fields of science physics with each year literally humanity gets to see more and more of these words of their album the taka Masha Allah arithmetic eights the imprint of absolute infinity in every cell and every molecule and every atom and every subatomic particle from this tiniest flee to the greatest black hole never mind when we start studying the DNA the genetic code of every living organism so the Rambam says whenever you study the world and you find out about hashem you find that about hashem what hashem something about hashem his wisdom his expression is infinity it results in however the lira love and awe so if their album vitae and here he begins his presentation called Masha Barak others borrow who by love my neck Lucretia halakhah anything that a sham created in his world is divided into three categories mayhem one category is briam creatures Seamus hibari me Gollum viscera they are comprised of a Gollum Gollum is matter and surah is a form and what the Rama means here bite sir as he will explain later in their coming in the subsequent chapters is the spiritual content of that matter so you have a what we would call like the body and you have the electricity of the body the life force which gives it functionality which gives it meaning which gives it purpose it's like the essence of it the soul of it that's called the surah of it that's what the Rama means by the surah of it the form of it that which gives it its ultimate substance and the derivative Pfizer's it vivifies it it allows it to be animated to be alive so you have the climber the golem the golem is like the raw material the physical matter and the surah is the electricity the currents the the soul the soul that animates the matter the Haim Harvin if southern comment and these are creatures that come into existence and then they die they perish come I go for some of them like the body of a human being bodies of human beings the Hebei Hamer or all the bodies of animals they have their time they live and then they die and they decompose VAT smoker and all of the plants the whole world of botany waha mattress and all over the metals and if you realize their album here mentioned four categories he mentioned the famous four categories of diamonds and may ask Kai madaba in the opposite order diamond would be inanimate matter inorganic matter like metals and then he mentioned smoking which is so may at the world of produce and vegetation he mentioned the bodies of animals all mammals and all living creatures outside of the human being that's Chi and then he mentioned madaba that was actually his first one you see he went in the in the order from in the hierarchy he went from human to animal to plant two metals that's one form of creation whoo mayhem there's also something else other form that God created briam Seamus Roberto Miguel Matsuura creations that are also comprised of raw matter translating dilemmas raw matter matter yeah they're they're also made up of matter and Matsuura and form and and a soul and an energy I will a damaged on amigo for the goofy Mitsuru the so de cámara shine but they don't change from body to another body or from form to form like the first type of creations the human the the animal body of the human body at some point it dies the body decomposes nutrients of it become part of the earth the same is true with vegetation and produce the vegetation and produce suddenly is digested by an animal from an animal that becomes the bloodstream of an animal so it goes through all types of changes the goof goes through changes that sewer goes through changes but now we're talking about creations they also have matter and energy matter and energy but it doesn't it remains fixed it remains - Russell kuiba Gulman Milam their soul their energy remains fixed in their matter permanently the aina mist fandom Camilla they don't go through these constant commutation and changes wear him out gal galumbeck a Gotham shivoham' I'm referring to the Rambam says the spheres and their stars the stars inside of them the ramen is now talking about what we would call the heavenly bodies the heavenly constellations where you talk about for example the Sun and the moon it doesn't there's also the matter and there's the energy and all the other galaxies and all the other stars and all the other planets but it doesn't go through that process that we observe here in the ecosystem on earth and in the very delicate balance of the ecosystem where everything gives and takes and it's constantly changing and fluctuating from one form into another form one body in another body one energy and another energy constant so it goes around in the food chain and the food web that's how the earth works then the Sun has been the Sun that's been the Sun for thousands and thousands of years has been the Sun it has its body and its own the same is true with the heavenly bodies vayne go memcache shard lemon will let your awesome cache Arcturus their body their matter is not like the matter that we observe here and it's not the same form either or mayhem and then you have a third category briam creations which are suitable a golem claw its form without matter energy soul but no matter where Haim this is what we call him al awesome angels Shama welcome AM goof agree L at service no fraud is Umezu angels are not made up of goof and Adria goof is a body and Adria is a corporal being with a corporal physique rather they are energies they are spiritual energy spiritual electricity if you wish and nefra is Umezu and they're distinct from each other they're separated from each other but they're not separate each other by the physical manner and the physical body that distinguishes say one end from another and one flee from another flee one table from another table one piece of metal from another piece of metal or mouths down with the mauser shine of ammonium shadow i'm alice aja balkan afire didn't you grow up learning angel has a bunch of wings right and this is not just you know children's took child childlike stories didn't Envy him the Prophet speak about the fact that they observed an angel Amala as fire or somebody who has wings Nicole but mara Hannah vu there our mom says this is a vision this was a prophetic vision of the way a certain energy was manifested in the vision of the prophecy of the Prophet vedera Freda there a fee that means it's like code like it's it's like a parable it's like when you give a parable so the parable allows you to understand the theme that is behind the parable but the theme is not to be equated with the parable so wings fiery angels all this there are mom says is a feeder it's a parable either they often use as a as a riddle in this case it's a riddle meaning you see a physical image and its really a riddle it's trying to serve as a parable as a metaphor for an idea for a spiritual idea Lima what we mean to say is shame a goof because then my left is not a body and because the the mouth is not a body so therefore obviously these are all visions and parables Shana goofer inner cover could go for sack Rayden he is not heavy and vena covered and doesn't exert that heaviness could Gophers have a them as other physical physical bodies doesn't these properties which we call you know today we would say that which is subjected to the laws of gravity and it has this heaviness this mass this volume it doesn't apply to this commission Emma the peasant deposit motion Boehner says hashem elokenu a flute vari vari impairing Daleth God your God is a consuming fire variations of blazing fire Ella Marshall again it's a parable commercial Emma we have a per second to hilum Cavell isa Malakhov ruthless hashem makes his angels as winds here again it is a parable hey Obama apart Watsa resume is ooh very a nun goofin since they possess no body what separates the form of the Angels one from each other if they would possess a body I can understand their distinct from each other because each one has its own space its own physical identity what separates one angel one malwa from another why do we say these different creations so the Rambam says what separates from one another is lateesha a nun shovels be Mitzi yousa because their existence is not alike elico echoed ma'am LaMotta me my worcester schalke very vomits una cosa gsella my Lamesa each one is below the level of the other and exists by virtue of the influence of the higher one in other words there is a progression of levels one above the other waha : m saw in McKoy fish locket is morocco Vltava all of them exist from the energy and the goodness of hashem gazelles Aramis Lima because massive amar this is intimated in the wisdom of SH Lima hemella in K holistically ciasses Chapter five who says ki Guevara may alga voya Shimer and he concludes vol Eliab slay my mother says because above the one who is high there is a watcher and there are others higher than them so what distinguishes one angel from another angel the Rambam says not physical distinctions because they don't have physical manner the differences one is lower in quality than his colleague and on the contrary he emerges he evolves from the flow of the one who is above him and all of them ultimately come from the divine flow of energy from the divine energy from the vine goodness Guevara may alga VII Shimer VII Malayan says the Rambam remember verbs eschel minor the motto me molasses of Havana when I just told you that one angel is below the other angel below the level of the other a non eyeless muckin we're not referring to height in a spatial sense to my other my uvula my Lamech Aveda like you'll say one person is sitting higher than his friend his colleague so you have physical space one person is sitting on the top row the next person is sitting on the next row on the bottom we're not talking about that because we're foot referring her again to the third type of creatures which is surah belief heimer sura belief dimer means a form without raw matter that's what the Rahman says surah Billy Gollum that's what we call my loss them again not them I love them with wings Elohim here is spiritual electricity spiritual energy which receives from a higher form of energy which receives from a higher form of energy from a higher for energy but higher doesn't mean here spatially you know this one is a hundred light years up and this one is nine hundred light years away l the comission omission ex-amish ever gotta make available cosmo rather it would be like you're talking about two sages and you say one is greater than the other one in wisdom it doesn't mean that means great he's bigger than him what does it mean he's bigger than it means he's physically bigger than him when you say he's greater than him in wisdom Sholem i love me Milazzo salsa you're saying he's above he's on a different level on a different caliber what does it mean he's above he's physically above it doesn't mean in physical terms the great anecdote for this I think I shared it once with the Devorah there was in Vince can latvia in the city of Dvinsk there were two giants intellectual tyre Giants the rabbi of the king of the Ashkenazim and of the killer of the facism Ramaiya simcha pion of Dvinsk the famous earth samay of the measure Kozma one of the great luthor wanying sages of the 19th century passed away in the 1920s I think 26 1926 and the rocket rover gone robbed a new Yosef rosin rosin rosin the toughness paneah who passed away ten years later 1936 serrator the earth Sameach crib Mary simcha was somewhat bigger the rocket rover was was frail and skinny and I think a pretty short fellow in shul there was once an argument you know these classic arguments are sure the argument was vetti's Grasser who's greater the rocket shovel or it may seem so those who said the Rockets of her there's nobody like him and it may simply nobody like him you're Mary simcha once somebody once told him it's implicit Java has a great memory he said it's not sure he doesn't have a good man the person thought you know what what is this like envy look at Chavez memory he was like you know one in generations not one in generations so remai simcha said you don't understand a memory means you learn something a few days ago and you remember it like a Trevor doesn't have to have a memory everything is infront of it it's like you're reading it in the book the whole call-out Tyra kulamish it's in front of you you don't need a memory so there's this big argument in show who's greater and who there's a little child estate the last he's laughing he's laughing what is it laughing they call him ov and they say why are you laughing he says I can't imagine that intelligent people are standing here for an hour and arguing about such a foolish question who's greater who's bigger look we always simply is much bigger than I could ever look how small that I catch others look up bigger it may seem sis they say to the child know we didn't mean bigger physically we meant bigger in terms of intellectual greatness intellectual genius intellectual caliber the kid says yet suck the shrimp shot them now you're just justifying yourself you said bigger good sa bigger is bigger and it's a foolish argument we all know who's bigger in the mind of the child bigger means one thing he is bigger than him Darrell mom says you have to get used to you know thinking more in abstract ways you can have an idea that is more abstract you say it's a higher idea it's a deeper idea it's a more nuanced idea it touches a deeper layer or strata of existence that's what's called greater that's what's called bigger that's what's called higher it reflect if you want to use this language is it it reflects more it's more transparent of the infinity of creation I'm says that's what we mean by the distinctions between one angel another angel another angel o commercial name the ELA Shayla my lemon hollow it's like you would say about the illah the illah means the cause that it transcends the effect Allah is the antecedent although is that which comes from the ELA the seed of the apple tree the seed is the ELA for the other which is the apple tree that's physically you also have spiritually the ELA is the thought that produces the oval which is the offspring of it so the ELA is always higher than the other doesn't mean in spatial terms it means it precedes it either in time or it receives it in idea maybe not chronologically but fanatically the ELA transcends the auto it precedes the auto it's higher than the auto higher doesn't mean it's higher it's on the second floor versus the first floor higher is in spiritual terms higher this is obviously a fundamental idea the Rambam wants us to understand since the Ramban vitae Zion she knew should my summer love come also a mile awesome whoo the different names with which the angels are called reflect their spiritual levels and here the Rambam tells us a fundamental idea people attributed to the Baal Shem Tov but it's really here in the bar realm in the truth is you have it in the Metro so the concept that the name reflects the quality it's not just different name different qualities will the filter from the quraíam hayasaka desh the aim of my alumina cut and that's why you have the angels are known as higher Sukhoi - what does higher Sukhoi - mean the holy tires the holy fires is the highest is life life energy light you could say the holy animals but I think the right translation is the sacred manifestations of living energy that's higher Sukhoi - they are above all of the other ones then you have here he goes through I found him array limb cash malam Shroff him muwah him hello him Nayla him proven vision we just had 10 categories kaya Sukhoi - are the holy beings - amines spheres very important word I found him we said in the morning or if I'm in the highest saturated spheres this becomes the spiritual source of the galaxies aryl amines exalted ones cash malhomme means cash small and modern Hebrew is electricity but cash mala means fiery beings who communicate sloughing means fire fire bulls they're consumed in their passion mile off that means messengers emissaries Lak Marge's obey Allah Kim are the sons of judges crew them are cherubs like childlike figures that they had in the Holy of Holies cherubs and you hear the name it's already a diminished form of spiritual energy and then an issue issue means humans and we'll soon see what I call a Lewis arshad machine a crime by mammal awesome I'll Shane mastermind Lucia LEM hang these 10 names with which these different angels are called represent 10 different qualities and one is above the other one is an owl from the ELA one is a result it's a devolution of spiritual energy from one stage to another student under state or my agenda my little Manila Melissa Alberto who email us at solution across Heights the highest one which above it is only God Himself is known as Caius Caius a critical phenomena voice Antiochus Keisha I covet that's why in the prophets it says that this level of energy this Gaius is right under the crown of the throne of glory or my last serious and the 10th one the lowest point a mindless have solution across issue this is the quality of the angel called ischium which means humans am i malacca muhammad a broom and a V in venir in Lima Murano vu these are the angels that communicates with the prophets and they appear in the vision of prophecy the Phoenician sham I lost incredible malice does Bonet on them that's why they're called Isham which literally means humans because their quality is very close and accessible to the perception of the human being so they're a mom is telling here telling us say how the way they're Hashem created the world you have this concept of a spiritual evolution of energy that descends from one state to another state another state of content under state of consciousness until we reach the consciousness of the human being and the human being is connected to the level of ischium which receives from the level above Isham right we have above issue you have proven banality Malik in my lost control from Kashi mala Marilyn my finer man Caius hakodesh and this allows also the human being to climb the ladder of spiritual consciousness because we are a manifestation of the consciousness that is filtered through Isham which is filtered through the higher level through the higher level and this is the way the human being is a weir and perceives of the spirituality inherent in his or her existence and we grow that ladder in our own spiritual and psychological and emotional development what is fascinating here I should mention two things and that is what is the source for these 10 days of angels if you look in all the cow modes and all the Madras on you will not find this you'll find a few names now it's true that throughout the Tanakh you have each one of these names mentioned but in isolated forms here the rambha makes one cohesive unit with a list of ten and the fascinating thing is that the source of this is in the Zohar the ten names of angels in this unit even though they're not in the same order are in Zahra and parshas boy and this is one of the proofs that has been presented over the generations the question of the Rambam relationship to the Zohar today Rambam see desire that you're my muse desire here you have ten names that are listed this way in desire even though with a different even though in a different order another fascinating thing is of course the Rambam speaks about these ten spiritual levels which seems to be a fantastical mirror and reflection of an idea that is only introduced in Kabbalistic writing known as the ten Spheeris that when Hashem wants to relate to create the world he so to speak identifies with in his infinity ten definitive characteristics and qualities which become the ten building blocks of creation here their album talks about it in terms of Malcolm but the parallel is more than fascinating but beyond the realm of this class yes the collector is saying all these forms all these spiritual forms I am omikuji miss Hubbard aviator miss Adele admite they are alive they are alive don't think because they don't have a physical body they're not alive they are alive and they recognize the Creator and they know him in a very profound way there are we're of the Creator called surah viscerally female Lassa Loyola fee godly each one understands something of God's reality according to his own quality not according to the truth of the divine reality I feel the my little shining a fennel a hosta commit to somebody commercial Allah dye texture acid Malay that even the highest quality of the angel the highest secateurs doesn't have the capacity to grasp the truth of the creator the way it is because it's perception is still limited it can only grasp according to its ability I thought my said this via das Yeltsin mushroom I said this wiedersehen Shalom optimum Anna she grasps and knows more than the form that is lower the angel that is lower than it grasps it's interesting because the word that we use from mass it is grasped the physical term grasped now when I grasp something obviously I can only grasp something that could fit into my hand my hand cannot grasp something that is beyond the limits of my hand so grasping I can only grasp that which fits into my hand intellectually it's the same truth I can only grasp reality which fits in to my intellectual hand which fix which fits in to my neural pathways now I can expand that in life and open myself up more and more that's what we all try to do that so the rabbim is trying to do for us as well but we have to recognize this limit so he says even the highest acai dish which is the one on the guy the guy on the top can only recognize truth according to his or its capacity the king called Milo Milo at my last citizen so you go down each one of these forms until the tenth damned Hadassah Bora daya she also perceives God with perceptiveness same carbon atom I'm a compartment guru Matsuura yahuwah Hasegawa later camisa that no human being here on earth who was comprised of matter and form can grasp like this angel who is divorced from physical form by a coil from physical matter of a coil am yoda miss Alberto can assure you they Axman but none of them none of them even the highest get to know or understand or appreciate a perceive the creator the way the Creator knows himself I just thought of something when I was teaching and that is the Rambam said there's three types of creations right three types of creatures beings in God's world there's that which we're familiar here on our planet they are comprised of a golem and Asura golem is the raw matter the physical form and that sir is disputed the Golem is the matter and the Torah is the the energy you have what he called the planets the whole the world the heavenly world and there are mom says oh so there's a guy lumen at surah there's matter in his energy was a different type of math different type of entity doesn't through those fluctuations and the vicissitudes that our ecosystem and web chain were accustomed to with bodies of man humans and animals and other living organisms and all plants and vegetation and inorganic matter soil and everything that's in the soil and so forth and then you have what's called surah Billy Gollum an energy without without matter just a very interesting anecdote I think the practical bests are used to share this a practical Vesta was a famous Radomski accosted one of the leaders of a good news is wrong passed away a number of years ago the rabbi of 84th Street so I think he shared that somebody shared it that the Lubavitcher ever went to visit the holy Belzer Rebbe of Aaron of bells or of our Enrique Utley passed away in August of olive of 1957 he was a very very holy Jew and he came to visit either it was Vienna or Berlin and the lubavitcher rebbe er was then a young man he was a son-in-law of the previous the 6th Lubavitch Ariba and he went into the Belzer roof with a famous Garrick Roset and bells Aarav used to give everybody Shalom but he would wear a glove and the lubavitcher rebbe was a young man he was then a student and university went by the bells are over a baron who was known as Kadosh Hashem he was a holy Jew and he took off his glove and he gave him Shalom and so somebody later asked a Lubavitcher Rebbe about the bells aurora byron Belzer and he said these words three words just three words captured something he says surah belief himer this is the words of the round them surah belief I my energy without matter and probably if you know about the Belzer of Ribera Belzer it's probably an incredible incredible accurate description suitably flamer a Jew who went days and days without eating and he really lived in a different planet quite literally pun intended surah belief Eimer so this is the expression there are my muses here and Elsa said yeah I should just mention I'm gonna mention one detail and that is in many subsequent swaram these the vision that the rambha makes here is seen and reflected in many aspects of yet another grammar I'm said everything a sham created in the world could be divided into three parts if that's the truth that means that this trio is somehow part of the system of creation but at the end of creation so you see something very interesting the Michigan and the Bayside McNish which is the center of the universe is divided into three sections you have the clutter the courtyard you have the Hazara the Heinkel the oil mud then you have the cachaça notion based on mixer show sad but it had those aura the outer space without a roof was open to everybody you had the Heinkel the inner sanctuary we had the menorah the sugar on them is mayor and then you have the cachaça Duchamp the Holy of Holies was often them it's only to the coin level three sections in the base I make fish that basically represent and reflect these three components in God's universe you also have it and the Jewish people you have the client and the LaVey and the Israel you have the that you have the I'm sorry you have this role and Lavy of the Cayenne and you have the coin gobble the difference between these three is in the outer part of the base on Mukesh who was hive even if isset things came and things went things were being burnt and consumed constantly that's the first category then you have the heckle which was already there was still physicality and spirituality they bought more in a fixed fashion and then you have the kind of shock udders from the Holy of Holies which is like a suitable ephemera and only one drew went in there and that's the kind God one kind of shock Adagio the outer one was for you sir a limb Levine the inner one was for the Chi in him and then you have the kind God in the time we also have weekdays Shabbos and yom kippur weekdays are compared to the outer part of the visa McNish Shabbos the inner sanctuary that's when they used to either left him upon him from the inner part and then kadesha Kardashian with the coin goggle only when in on Yom Kippur and these three categories in Kabbalah you have Bria yeah it's Siri ever see a mockery of Deborah MYSA I'm just mentioning that these three become a very fundamental idea in understanding the spiritual structure of the universe halacha tests call Haim saw em gutsman aboya Matsuura Hashanah addyi to shakotan shima Tabora erotic omec himino-san imbecile all existences from the highest form of spiritual energy until the smallest mosquito the smallest you touch the table or Haaretz vertebra or it literally means in the center in the depths of the earth all of them all of existence besides the Creator how cold Makaha me tossing them so all came into being from the existence of a Shems truth like we said in para caliph may I meet us in mud see it comes from the truth of Russia all the fish oye they asked me o makki the loss of a severity vomit oh sorry whoo yay they are curved end of an elemental people often asked does Hashem know everything right he says since he knows himself and he recognizes his infinity his greatness his beauty and his truth sir Shem knows everything and nothing is hidden from him why because everything comes from Hashem everything is May Amita see matzah it comes from the influence from the energy from the true existence of our Shem so there's our Shem know everything that Shem know everything evolved the Kasturi to Pintrest Corot sir was one of the great aesthetic masters a student to the Baal Shem Tov and repinned his cards I had a disciple had a faucet and he was having a lot of doubts I should really know me doesn't care about me does God know what's happening with my life he was having this turmoil in this agony even if God exists he's so big E so infinite he saw Titanic does he really know what's happening mama shin my heart's and he was desperate for an answer so he went to his revered up in his car at sea this is the story and he comes to his home open her skirts it comes out to the porch to greet him and he says in Yiddish he says if face when they rabona shall I love a snitched even I know what's happening in your heart and everybody still doesn't know what's happening in your heart but here the Rambam tells us the mechanism of it do you know what's happening in your own self do you need somebody to give you information about what you're feeling or what you're thinking or what you're experiencing no why because it's me it's part of my brain it's coming from my brain my brain is a weird what is what is inside of it says there are everything comes from a meter sea monster so therefore nothing is concealed ashram knows everything not only the big things that tiniest tiniest detail Hashem is aware of you how could his burrow hummocky a meter VA there is a commercially Hashem recognizes his truth and knows it as is which means he knows it objectively ami a day every day I showed hood cinnamon a coma Sean Riordan he does not know with a knowledge which is external to him in the way that we know things shame on over that a no effort because we and our knowledge are not one Avila buddies bara Hashem the Creator who the diavik I of ethnic called Santa McCall Pina behold there he he his knowledge his life are one from all sides and corners in every conceivable type of unity in Molokai high behind me they be their hoods momento were he to live as life is usually conceived or no with a knowledge that is external from him are you Shambhala kisame that means there

all angles in all manners of unity in the most powerful form of unity nemesis a timer if this is the case you could say this who idea for who I adore who are they ABS Michael aha he is the knower he is the subject of knowledge and he is the knowledge itself and it's all absolutely one meaning by the human being we have three forms we have three categories there's the Urrea there is the your dua and there is the daya the idea is the knower the I the observer the your dua is the subject of knowledge and the daya is the instrument that I'm using in order to perceive that knowledge those are three things the way they are the person who knows the eye that is behind it there is the ado are the matter that is knowing that I now acquire hopefully through my knowledge and there is the data there is the intellectual faculty the tools the cognitive tools I'm using in order to acquire knowledge so it's three separate things your idea your dua and daya says the Rambam Hashem it's all one who are you there who are you who are there that which is no one and the eye that nosin and the instrument that's using to know it it's all completely unified and integrated and not integrated from different pieces like you said in Chapter one but completely and absolutely one Fedora's anheuser-busch Pelham liberal amazing Osama will they believe are the material Borya this matter is the on beyond the ability of the mouth to articulate the ear to hear or the capacity of the heart to grasp all the fifth Homer that's why we see that we have intimate and homage in beret shoes we have hey para que para means by the life of para or hain Africa's another expression and Schmuel by the life of your soul a name Isaiah Shama location when it comes to Shem he'll never say by the life of God he'll say haya sham as God lives why because by the other person by Pyrrha there is the life of pirate by the life of para but by Hashem a memory of a - I am Hashem and his life are not two separate things come I shall good for my family I am Elohim as our the lives of living beings or the lives of angels the fish' by Hashem it's completely one v of a name academia the mathema submarine Commission is similar Maximus otsuma ADA and therefore Hashem does not recognize and no creation because of the creations as we know them he doesn't know them in terms of creations as we know them I learn about something outside of me Ella Maximus acts made them he knows them from himself Lafitte initially they absently they are Co charcoal miss murkly bother you sir because he knows himself he knows everything for the existence of everything comes from him it's dependent upon him it comes from him so if he knows himself he knows literally every single thing which all comes from a meter sea monster from Hashem truth and as a result of that also there a mom said he knows it all with complete objectivity meaning when I know something it's outside of me so I basically grasp it according to the capacity which I'm capable of grasping of it based on my subjectivity my subjective reality by Hashem it's all completely one so he knows it in the truest way that's how he started I lost Liat dorama now finishes the last two helices devar ma Liu Shan my ultimate little minor being zbrush neck broken Mei Lu can mighty poem and I and my satirical very Binion's the concepts that we have

of honey and milk which of course are extremely sweet and they provide profound sensual pleasure the comprehension of these subjects gives a person the inner pleasure and taste of reality this should be and kept under your tongue so the Rambam writes the two chapters but he concludes and he says realize that we are dealing with profe under t of a completely different caliber this concludes peyrac basophils as I said the attire next year we will move on bezier shem to the third chapter of hill 'this you say they are tired I shall take a you questions let's go to the questions I think better to use the power strip without the power surge protection because there's a lot of power going through these classes we don't want it to be interfered with we want to get the full impact of what you're teaching let the full light and love and hope shine through thank you to Byron as always the best the best of the best okay boggles my mind that some scientists who contemplate analyze the creation the system's everything you said in this class and they still have such a problem with accepting that there is a creator yes it's very interesting some say that the love of God comes after the or as opposed to the or coming after the love that's very interesting but you see the order of the Rambam okay somebody here quotes the safer emit service when the Rambam says that he quotes the sea free how do you love Hashem for how you at the Varsha Malekith avoid Varma a lush and noisy mid-south clam Alabama fish imitates cat at the macros Mishima via a law that basically you learn these words of Tyra and through that you recognize the create creator so when say for a mitzvah see says the way to come to love is through learning Tyra he doesn't speak about studying and looking at the creation this afree says study the Tyra Tyler works because it tells you how you could come to love and whoa ha you had varam a lost generation in South Korea is this a contradiction no it's not a contradiction it's in Kaval the key question very very good question to say for her Mitzvahs the Rambam says something else look how it is something else it seems to me that ultimately there's no contradiction because the Rambam here is not addressing science and physics as a secular discipline or cosmology or astronomy or or mathematics or geology or human anatomy and biology or to be a naturalist he's talking about seeing hashem chochmah in the world and that's really the wisdom of time Coulomb Bahama sisa the wisdom of Toyota is the direct wisdom of a sham every word of Toyotas Commercial Code is vertical it's a chef's cosmos that rhymes wisdom that's the hakama that's embedded in creation in creation it could be concealed as you say like you say you could study creation and not even recognize you know who where it comes from entire the relationship is very clear but like Shia and avi says Sumeria mayhem ooh me borrow a layer you have to lift up your eyes to heaven and see who created this but we're talking about seeing the evil kite of ain't safe the hakama Hashem so I think ultimately there's no contradiction here it's different layers of reality or to put it differently the mendler says that the Toyota is the blueprint of creation famous madras beret Chasseur have a patronage it's the diphtheria so pinkazoid an architect doesn't just tell the contractor go build he draws the plans detailed plans and the architect hopefully follows the plans and builds the structure based on the plans says the marriage the blueprint of existence is the tailor in other words when you study Toyota you theoretically if you really master the tighter you have the world because the world was built on the tight on the blueprint of a the desire says could sure Bruce who was tackleberry super Alma he looked and tired and he created the world so perhaps one is talking about the level of the blueprint and one is talking about the house itself why the Rambam chooses here to emphasize this and emphasize this that's a good question when when does one use the creation to come to love and when does one use the Toyota if one has limited time which one has preference preference it's a great great question but I think for the Rambam this question had to be rephrased because i think he ultimately saw it as one in other words yes technically I could sit and study creation all day I could sit and study Tyra when I touched this all of creation and I touched the soul of Toyota the to converge so practically speaking every person has to know according to their capacity and what their mission in the world is and and where you belong Mitzvah Talmud titãs amidst one every single Jew Varghese said by Youngman m'lila we try to use every single opportunity to learn Tyler but for the Rambam there a mama stand and remember the Rama was teaching us about the world in his mission attire which is a part of China and the world the Toyota itself teaches us a lot about the world but for the Rambam ultimately a visage M&E recession by looking at the premise of the world is seeing that is seeing that allah kosis seeing the godliness Hashem is energy in the world so in terms of every person's practical life how many hours for this how many hours for this I can't answer that question right now how a motor is the greatest myths fatale material cannot get cool um there's a midst on everybody to learn as much as possible because it's the ended and then sometimes people have different interests and different hobbies and different vocations and different missions and different opportunities and different resources but I should also emphasize it's through learning Toyota that you could see God's wisdom in the world there's a lot of people who study the world they don't see God's wisdom there it's through learning Toyota that your Mac your Misha on my raha hilum Tyra allows you to see Misha on my violin so at some point they're really very much deep very deeply connected next question somebody mentions a safer called Zoya Haram bomb which shows 22 things in the Rambam that are all rooted in desire or Kabbalah yes and you should also know this is a safer from rebel EOG and safer there's also a great safer cold meat suits a Zohar which I have from removing Margo Lea's the legendary genius from Erik Estrada Bruford Margolis who wrote every part of the Rambam where he found the source of it in Zoya it's an incredible work and it shows many many many associations between the Rambam and desire and works of Kabbalah cold niches are ok one more question the scoffer or non-believer wants to justify his rejection of Tyra because the intense burden of so mitzvos rabbinic Mitzvahs biblical mitzvahs customs traditions the long list of mitzvahs is not doable it's to pressure some it's a burden it's inhumane etc anybody with any legal knowledge knows full well that if you look at the totality of federal legislation federal regulations state and local laws and regulations it's it's easily thousands of times more numerous more complex than even the tie to any country system is secular law applicable to any of us in any country fills many many bookcases in a new library to serve Hashem in so many ways is really the opportunity of every Mitzvah seeing God in every aspect of life and serving him from so many different ways in my mind that's not a burden that's an opportunity another example of this exquisite setup in our free choice when it comes to our free choices this to the believer and the one who wants to serve the many mitzvot are more opportunities to connect to the scoffer their justifications not to believe in not to serve many mitzvahs give him justification for the other person many mitzvahs give him more reasons to celebrate the person who scoffs and wants to know if Hashem really cares about me there's a Shem care if I wait the full hours after eating meat before I drink milk readily accepts that the law says that the grass on his front lawn should not exceed two inches or that a can be ticketing ticketed for putting out his garbage on the wrong day that's fine the law of the state is allowed to dictate where my where I mow the lawn where I build the fence around my house where I put the garbage and where my neighbor puts the garbage even if it's a question of five inches he accepts that he can't accept that God's law is also very detailed but it is as we learned in Rambam for Hashem the smallest atom and the greatest galaxy are all one as he said he knows it all and it all comes from his truth yeah very well thank you everybody for sharing I wish you a beautiful Shabbos Shabbos Kazakh Zach the Miss Kazakh this class is brought to you by the achieve Annette please help us continue the
