Arizal knew Secrets that Moshe Didn't: Reconciliation - Igeres HaKodesh 19a - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so good day we're learning 19 page it's uh a very very difficult uh uh lots of Caba lots of deep cus uh we'll do our best um and we'll try to stay focused on the point and not get cut off in this level and this dark and all that okay it says to him wraps himself with a garment and this is a reference to the tah that Hashem wraps himself in the Toyah and the T becomes the intermediary for Hashem how to communicate his G his Revelations his levels his energies of our to us is through t so that's that's the basic concept the has a sa for called isn't the is not the Al's only the only composition from the already means a gathering collection of if you look at the it says and here is a startling statement the comprehension the knowledge ofu it was not he did not comprehend the inner aspect of suprem etal wisdom which is called also the father of aus so we're not going to go into levels now but that means that Moshe Reno did not have perception of this high level of God okay let's just let's put it in in simple words surely he did not have understanding of of the sphere of K which is above it's the crown above the head you wear it above the head that's called long face again I'm not going to explain now what is it just there's two levels in K one's called and the other one's called is the lower level of is the higher level of K sometimes you'll see the words the external part of and is called okay so says here in chapter that had no understanding of the lower the lower level of ker because he didn't have a comp now remember the words we're using here comprehension of so Kos needless to say something that's higher than he also he surely didn't have an understanding let's continue so what did what part of is comprehend rather only his comprehension was on what we call the backside like the of a body the back of a person of which that invest itself in Bina which is an understanding that is lower and you can understand it how which then invest itself in the seven lower Speeders which is called or small faces so we have like which is so it's it's but from ker no understanding of that then we have zin zin is like a microcosm a map of what's higher but it's in a way that can be it's filtered and could be understood by by by lower levels and says had in that level this is the secret of it it extends itself to the end of the four the lower ones which are right we have first three the second three of and then we have the lower four which is the more practical one right the advice and split and and and endurance all practical oriented outside or oriented implementation oriented that in that had and there was in that level was the comprehension of M's prophecy because he was a and in that M had an inner understanding the he had the the the the understanding of the inner makings of Turn the Page people 24 but above he had notic understanding again he repeats the backside of which is called the esoteric concept of the the drags kind of the leftover of the it's already in a level of and brings this is what it means when imp you see my back but my P is my face you won't see see over there this verse and another SE in another section of the this is the end of the quote kind of from the Aro now comes the AL inside seemingly it is wondrous one one Wonders It says quote there never will be another Prophet amongst Israel so if so how could the have comprehended more of this sit issue than MOA who was a prophet arel wasn't a prophet was a great cabalist and a great sadic and a very good but to go and say that the ARA un understood more of these levels that mha didn't is very very strange and perplexing and and and we see that the expounds many explanations in a way that makes sense even in regarding to to levels a very simple question look at out and you see that he explains this it's above so doesn't understand AB above and is a prophet Ai and does understand how does that make sense that's the bat question here in okay and now comes his answer but he gives an explanation first says it's it's simple understood to everyone that means he's talking to us that there's a very big difference that there's a difference between the comprehension of the of the of the the wise people of Truth referring by the way that's a reference to those that study like who comprehended wisdom and knowledge vain there's a difference between that knowledge and that comprehension and and and the comprehension of prophets with their prophecy which is nicknamed in the verse the verse calls the comprehension of prophets seeing you will see my backside another quote and you'll see God another quote and God appeared to him says now has a rhetorical remark when we say that this n saw God and you know yes then all the it's it's only it's only um it's not literal it's what we call the the seeing of of the eye the comprehension the clarity that they understood what this level of God was so clear as though they saw it with their physical lies so says if the of the of of of the prophets wasn't wasn't literal so what's the big deal that's his rhetorical question and he retorts he responds and answers his own question by saying next next words the moral must be similar to the parable and as the T the translation and God revealed himself now you hear V got appear to to to him in other words we're not talking here about I see you velv and you see me on the screen we're talking about his g a revelation what happened was that the level of God that was concealed before was now revealed conversely when it comes to the comprehension of the the wise men of Truth the capist they didn't have a revelation of the concealment of the in a revealed way they had an understanding ofal of some level of but it was wondrous it was above them that's why say is better than a prophet so the answer to the question is this is already the answer listen we're talking about apples and oranges but you can't compare the prophets to the to the to the right the are talking about a higher level a level of and a higher level and over there we say that they didn't have re they didn't have they didn't see that level they comprehended that level but they didn't see that level we're talking about to begin with a lower level level of God and of that they had and they had they they understood fully so it's it's not a comparison the question was seemingly from the statement of the adisal the cabalist the ad the are higher than the prophets and the other prophets the and the answer the Al is no it's not true the ARA and the capitalists on the were talking about lower level so in that they had more comprehension and andu and and the prophets were talking to begin about a higher level and in that they didn't have compr they didn't have they only had an understanding of a of a lower level because to begin with it's it's beyond comprehension that's his answer biter that's his answer any questions v i we go further but any questions on this abam okay and he says because it's impossible for this level to descend and reveal itself only the lower levels we said before they always lower descend and reveals that's why I told you for it's the more the the advice the Practical right you know is is already practical oriented outside oriented in that you can have a relationship if you can have an understanding it lend itself itself to to understanding and you can not have a an understanding both in a level of intellect and vitality as is known to those that study the secrets the esoteric secrets that the of the upper level it low it invests itself in a is in the lower level to give it that becomes the vessels for effluence for and the ascending of the from the upper to the lower next page in all levels and that's why it's this level of that's revealed to in revealed way and within them is an enclosed the light of the higher level she it's the comprehension of of godliness of the infinite light and in it is invested the back of and why is that possible because the name denotes it demonstrates of regarding the the source of understanding that's why it says in we've learned this in the past it says in holy the comes naus comes out from from from wisdom why the reason forv have not been revealed and it's above comprehension so one second the next part he's going to it's going to be a parenthetical remark another rhetor I'm sorry a rhetorical remark but he he explains now why does it say what do you mean tah comes T is nais says you know why it says nais because the you don't we don't really have an understanding for the reasons doesn't give us the reasons whatever reasons he G is just a mere outside right so it's naus it's the it's the mere outside the M you know so now ask a question we said it this morning right in in the preliminaries before we've see that if there is reason given for this carb is these sacrifices and these things all the details of [Music] says my friend don't think that you're getting the full scoop you're not getting the has chosen to give some outside explanations you know for this carbon and this side and that side and all those things every single utterance coming out of the mouth of hem to the prophets that are written throughout the whether it be words of scolding mus that that the the prophets gave B is the Jewish people and whether it be stories related in the tanak his you know what happened historically and everything else so in both be it within them is invested the level of godliness that transcends logic okay prove it to you there's something called right let's say there's a POS the so literally is with an olive and it makes no sense so the say there is the way the PK is written and and and the way the PK is read and you you you it's written this way but it's read with a V to him not meaning no right look look look inside L the the the way it's read is the based on the way we comprehend it the way it's written fromm's perspective is always the way from God's perspective which transcends logic this word in its written form it doesn't have a garment to for comprehension but conversely when you read it with your mouth the in the yes it has a it has a garment that's called the cre so says look you see there's in t itself there's C and the difference is whether it's a level of God's t as it's as it transcends understanding or a level which is made for understanding and it's not a contradiction is you understand this this is very important because we know cing safe is not it's but Dr here gives us an Insight what's going on with that is God's perspective from God's perspective they to has his his reasons so he writes it with with with with an Al in a way that makes no sense to us logically but that but the way we read it is with which makes sense to him as one because that's that that's our level and our level is comprehension so employs this example to explain the difference between that that the n of the prophets is on a certain level and and and the Aral and the capitalist in level so it's it's it's it's apples and oranges that's his answer basically this question let's continue you know sometimes you have a big right a big letter if you call the T certain big letters those large letters larger than the other letters that's the way the cipher is supposed to write them because those letters come from a superal level AAL world the reason why is this is revelation this is great hence the letter is large larger AR than the rest of the letters in the Torah AR have you ever seen this in the in the actual Torah scroll yes you have okay so says here why didem choose to put larger letters into the holy T to let you know that for whatever reason those letters at that time and that verse represents something larger and greater Beyond Comprehension now if you ask me he said what that is I don't know we would have to take every letter in every postic where you find that and explore it and by the way sometimes in right isn't there right I think or so over there isn't the gimmel bigger I I don't I don't recall but the that's what I'm talking about those those letters [Music] level Godly knowledge Godly wisdom that's invested in the 63 is called the the W the Wither the lather part the backside of because all backsides of whether they be the external or and the lower meaning it can invest itself Below in creatures to enen them but the of that that that's the itself is which is united with theator in the old ultimate unity with the infinite let's take theh of wisdom next page 256 is made up of two words the potential for what meaning there is no yet there is no ex existence it's an idea so the emanate the the unity between the em where it comes from and and and the idea are look further as we learned earlier in the first section of and and and the only amount that's exp extends itself below to us who to to levels that are limited that's called the backside it's like in a you know you only got my backside you know you don't really know me you only know what I do you don't know me that's the difference between this is also called the action okay we'll stop here and tomorrow we'll continue okay it's it's it's I know went quick it's a lot OFA but the I hope it's clear okay have a great day everyone Shalom hey thank you thank you you're welcome thank you byebye byebye
