on page two 365 but since we haven't
learned in a few days I'm going to recap
here basically in this paragraph that
introduces a very interesting concept
that I believe might be new to you and
that is that normally the one he said in
the previous paragraph was the the
emotions of of burritos were actually
not emotional the the frustration
feeling and the Simca feeling are
opposite each other and the and he said
very clearly if you're completely in the
mode of burritos there's no room you
have no room to entertain simcha
vice-versa as well and the same is true
of the above a year if you're really in
the mode of either
Yetta that has no place this is what he
said earlier in this paragraph he says
that's only true when you're talking
about the Alvin gira and burritos and
sinful yaakov if you can just mute the
phone and it'll help in this paragraph
he introduces that the that's only true
when the the the feelings of frustration
and simcha and love and fear are coming
from what's called from what he calls
places hockey Luo Yin the Luo Yin is the
plural of Gil we revelation in other
words the manifested powers the powers
as they are in everyone's you know heart
and being on a level that that you could
tap into it and and and use it it's it's
it's ready to go but there's something
called places who ask me in the
essential pleasures which are the father
figure of the chaos of the Luo Yin
however however and and what and what
are they it's the same kindness
it's not different co-hosts but it's the
Cocos as they are in their pure state so
I gave the example last time we learned
if someone has never Thunder a car
pinned under a car you pass by you have
people who don't have normally the cliff
can pick up that car and the guy can
endure gotten the person lying under the
car is released where did you get the
clay up your fact is a key you don't
have big muscles you don't workout and
all of a sudden you're able to do it
this muscle shows us that a person has
latent abilities latent abilities within
himself that are normally not tapped
into and they are and these latent
Coface are are the essence and the the
source for the manifested state of
places so so here it is you know you
feel tired you feel sluggish you feel
you can't do it
just recently a few weeks ago I heard
this rabbi at Covent then he was near
death and he miraculously survived so he
spoke to 770 and what he said initially
sounded a little you know wishful
thinking but thinking about it I think
it supports what we're saying now
he said they couldn't walk he either
lost his ability to walk so they had to
retrain him to walk so he's sitting
there in his wheelchair and chair and
they say the therapist says Organa
please get up he says I can't get up get
up you have to get up it's good for you
you have to get up I can't and he or she
says to him again get up so he says that
he closed his eyes or he brought to his
mind the revaz the rebus image as the
good breakfast tell
him get up and he got up so he says that
you know it was it's it's his feelings
towards the rebel that he has deep
inside himself that gave him the cuff to
get up so this is what he said and I was
thinking a lot about it you know is this
wishful thinking the practice he got up
that that there's no dispute but how do
you know if he got up because after the
therapist and the third try said get up
he just got up he puts himself at he got
up in even though he could have fallen
down he says I'm jumping up or is it the
class that he got from the image which
we know of course the rashi with Joseph
of Sadiq right in the shell of it
Yossi brought the image of his father
and that prevented him from sin or
another story with the out there Abbas
trusted who decided to go to the theater
and before he walked in he said wait a
minute
I'm a husband of the out Loretta better
go to the theater what a Shanda and he
turned the other way he never went in so
he brought the out to revit to his mind
so what does that say well we're
learning here in this moment is that
it's coming it's not wishful fantasy
thinking and it's not about being a
hustler
it's when you tap into the classiest
acts me in you can do anything now how
to tap in that could take bringing the
image of the repetier for one Yakko
revealing to the other one
your father and mother to the third one
your good friend or whatever those are
semantics and important ones okay so
maybe I should be used with semantics
but those are the tools and instruments
but then it could be is that we all have
clay facade speech so that episodes here
in this minor
there is a way of having marinos and
simpler come together there is a way and
that is if they're coming from the
perspective of your essential qualities
will then not only don't they contradict
each other but they actually enhance
each other what if I thought they'd
never leave I'm sure have already so any
of you here this year
but I told over the story of discussant
there's a family and about called hey
pain and one of the kind of first pain
was a hustle yet of the midler evidence
of acidic so Hassidim saw weird cracked
is that from what I heal EFT he had a
smile coming from alive mana yet tears
motion by us how is the possible theft
tears from what iron and and simcha and
from the other I'd answer is that if
you're really in sync with you you are
your closest ask me him it's possible
that's all learning here and and in the
mind mahir that ever brings a statement
that it says it says in desire Rabi
Akiva he learned the cider cetera the
secrets of the Torah from his teacher of
a lesser hot-dogging and when he did
that zogu aim of the boys his eyes
teared the teared with with tears so
their ever says where did those tears
come from the dost here tears come from
the bedside the the happy side or the
sad side and he says that those tears
came from
the happy side he wasn't crying because
of pain he was crying because of great
Simpson in this case the simple was that
he learned the esoteric secrets of the
Torah so he knew when he puts on 2:00 in
the morning what's happening in the
world
what's being accomplished by those
villain could you imagine when you when
you when you do a mitzvah and if you
were to know the secrets of that Mitzvah
what chambers and rooms it opens in
heaven for you boy would you run to the
Mitzvah just like someone who gets a
good destructive or good real estate
investment a poor or what that's a good
gets a secret knows old do this and
you'll make a lot of money or you
accomplish so much they run they wait to
get up early and they're waiting at the
door for the doors to open right so that
ever says that rebbi akiva Desire says
learnt the secrets of a tailor from
rabbul izza I've got the one because of
that he cried say it wasn't crying
because of pain he was crying because of
simcha so what do we see we see that the
outward manifestation of frustration and
tears can be a result of a deep joy and
happiness the other example that I gave
you the other day last week was when
when at a time of a your child simcha
someone this examples brought in
considers who could be very normally
very frugal very stingy and they splurge
at the wedding they splurge why do they
splurge you're known as the cheapest guy
in town
you don't give a dime and you have it
you don't give you no say Yakov why is
it it's because at the time of the
censor the essence
the essence of the person comes out
that's what we're talking about here
this is what we learned last week let's
now look inside 365 we're learning were
the three lines from the bottom the
middle of the page I know hiss can elute
brother coos the neighbor says this idea
of coming of bringing together two
opposites comes from when we incorporate
ourselves the hip collar loot but Allah
coos and godliness he says in Yiddish
ice gain and Gettler kite but he also
touches the word Escala loads from the
word kilos callosum nefesh extinction of
the soul well you just want to be with
Hashem and that's it
right what is the Gemara same Magilla
yoni once I'm poor him rep robber of
Xena
Bravo invites his student rep Zara to
the Purim soda he gives him quite a bit
of wine and then he gets up and he chefs
from zero what a what a strange Gomorrah
so the river has the interpretation of
famous talk of the river the Rebbe
explains a very hot Ella who Russia that
the Marcus of the murder the Gemara says
she fought the slaughter also means to
draw Masha Misha robber drew rub Zara to
his level he elevated him he said read
Zahra
I'm taking you today for a special
spiritual ride into the world of raba
a world which throughout the year
you don't know about you don't care
about you're scared of on and on
it's pouring drink wine and vacate all
of your inhibitions let go of your
rational mind and come along with me and
he says yes ready I'm coming along with
you
and he drinks wine and more wine in
there saying like I am and it's pouring
and all the sudden revs air is no longer
he's in heaven
and not because he drank a lot of wine
he became cuckoo because he was uplifted
spiritually to a different plateau and
that plateau all the issues that we
experienced on earth don't exist and
contradicts the heavenly experience so
that's why it says he died he shifted
him it was overwhelming he blew his
antennas there was a blowout of the
fuses but if Xavier couldn't handle the
arm of his Rebbe because his rep user
was very intense the mother says it came
to next year represented was sitting at
the table of his Rebbe again Rocco and
Robert gang says a racemic I am he says
Rebbe this year I can't go along with
you because it's too overwhelming for me
I couldn't handle the last time what am
I saying
there is an experience called closer
nefesh we don't mean you shefte
physically you go you go into a place
that is so overwhelming that you don't
desire to live anymore meaning you know
not physically you don't desire to be
involved in all the matters of the
physical world
I'm writing now but Nevada the the
yeshiva a movement called Navarre Tech
they were very extreme in their Musa
their founder of Yosef yo ezel Horowitz
in the in the 8th 1800's he he was first
business man and then he met Roberto
Salaam tur the Father modern-day father
figure of Moosa and he convinced him to
go and learn but Rebbe Yosef jazel took
it a step further he said I'm leaving my
wife and two kids and I need to study
and guess what he was away for a year in
nine months
Andrew and his rebbe reb is Rosa
laughter who introduced him to Musa said
that's not what I meant
go back to your wife and children what
are you outrageous
he said no revi I need to find a new
path and serving a sin that I never
learned and I need to be isolated so he
went to it he went to a place he got
someone to give him a hut in the back of
his yard he brought him food over there
and he was there by himself didn't leave
for a year in nine months until the
authorities came because they told they
told them told on him and they forced
him out that he went back and he became
a little more mainstreamed
that's extreme very extreme and that's
why he was the father figure of navarre
that movements the violet move was a
very extreme Muslim movement and in my
humble opinion that's why it didn't last
I mean both in America and there in
Cicero post-holocaust they tried
rebuilding the verdict but it had no
success because the extreme the
extremism was not for the average person
and it's similar to me to the story of
Robert of zeda rather one serves ADA to
come from come to him in heaven in his
level revs I just didn't know what that
meant sort of
theory went along but after tasting it
he says I can't anymore it's too heavy
for me but I'm sharing all of this just
to bring out the point of what's called
his Carlos allow yourself to be
incorporated into something higher have
you ever tried that a generator have you
have you tasted that yoni were you you
you vacate and again I don't know for
saying it doesn't mean you have to leave
your house the idea means to vacate the
pleasures of this world and be complete
with our share it's a very hard
experience no no no no I'm not gonna
cook the dishes this is called the
extreme form of self purgatory FF of
self the deprecation and then punishment
and you know it's his budget this means
you you're isolated there for a while
whether it's that nightly or weekly or
monthly talk to us a minute that's it
doesn't warrant it doesn't doesn't
demand self-deprecation and and you know
being harsh on yourself you know they
tell over the the talmidim the students
in the fire that would go into a grocery
store and ask could they buy a pound of
nails and the guy looked at in my you
out of your mind I don't sell nails here
sell eggs here and bread in other words
they did things to humiliate themselves
that was a Nevada a Nevada to crush
their ego that's the type of thing but
I'm not I'm focusing on the word his
scholar lute Ivy normally a scholar look
means what incorporation
but it also is associated with the word
Telos kill ace huh nefesh extinction of
the soul for all you want is I call this
particle let's continue and that's why
it says in the you - look at the others
words yummy
yakov ice gang in get with kite this
game means to melt to melt and godliness
that I believe is a failure meet the
evil jerk uh sorry
the achieve his true desire liaise with
my Vegas le cools he wanted one thing
and one thing only he wanted to be in
the godly level in the godly chamber and
the heaven when what gazook then them in
you from closer nefesh rebbi akiva was
searching motion what was he searching
for he was searching for maecenas nefesh
leave colo be actuals to be incorporated
in the essence of hashem top of next
page 366 bindings of butter who the
infinite infinite light of a sham and
and there ever support circles of
Gomorrah
what does the Gemara say okay my man as
the saying is call your my o ye submits
tie and all my days I was in pain
messiah valley yogi when will I have the
opportunity vaca men and I will fulfill
it Rabi Akiva was walking around all the
days of his life saying I said when will
you give me a chance to do mysterious
nefesh to die for you if that's what you
want that's the Gemara this isn't a
citizen Cabela's and Muslims tomorrow
he was sent sheep and look at the
language here Moshe call yo Maurice
emits tire he was in pain yet sir agony
pain
because he didn't get that opportunity
and of course when the Romans raped him
at that time he got the opportunity so
what is why does the tempest bring this
Gomorrah look further next line the Inca
took our service after your Amity
because rebbi akiva is primary desire
and true will placer has scholars by
uttering self but who it was to be
incorporated within the infinite God
Rabbi Akiva his real life was being with
a shed anything less which throughout
his lifetime he wasn't within Hashem was
not where it's at you see if this is an
issue of the paradigm
what is your paradigm and this is a very
important point we must set our
paradigms and if we set the right
paradigm whether or not we will reach
that paradigm in a way is irrelevant I'm
gonna explain that soon why is he
relevant but Rabi Akiva set a paradigm
and you know what his paradigm was Lee
Cola will be aimed alienating self
butterfl to be incorporated in the
infinite God to be without sin not my
family not my wife not my business not
my friend
Hashem everything else is an extension
of God and and if I could find God and
everything else great but what's the
paradigm Hashem now just for the just
for your knowledge consider says that
that bready achievers desire is not the
ultimate why because his paradigm was
dying for God but she does nefesh
fastener says he knows paradigm was the
ultimate of rama v no because i've rum
said hashem i am yours
both said they want to be with God but I
think even said I want to be with God
through dying for God ready and now
Brahma be who said I want to be with God
whatever you want god I have no
self-interest rebbi akiva compared to
her from had a little self-interest you
know what it was I want to die for God
but that I want to die for God is a
little self-interest sets of sinners of
Rama binos paradigm is even greater he
doesn't have any interest at all except
for one thing that not I want to live
for God not I want to die for god I'm
Yours you decide you want me to live I'm
here you want me to die I'm here but
here that this what I just said now
explain in other places of considers
that's why I said earlier if he keep his
approach is not the ultimate but here
were focusing Arabic Tevas approach what
did he want he wanted to be Li Colo Bay
oily so pitifully he wanted to be with
Hashem in other words contractor actor
of zero to Kamara Magilla country to
have zero who the next year said rabbi
Rafa I ain't going with you up there
it's too heavy for me let me keep he
says I am going with you
I like that I want that very different
paradigms so let's go back to the mind
map alkane third line alkane his son
made behind Surya loyal Khadijah said
and because his paradigm was to have
mysterious nefesh look what it says he
only therefore he had his son egg
Tanooki a pleasure
Yucko he had pleasure from his his
Cyril could you imagine avi a person
having pleasure from pain the Gemara the
Gemara says the Gemara says subdeacon
have pleasure from that pain in the
average mind we don't relate to this we
don't understand this but that's why
we're not sad deacon
maybe Akiva was but what is it happening
you know this is of the Mara what is
considered adding what is the red
beheading over here I believe what he's
adding here is that this was that that
it's not just about he was looking for
when Union ended Amara when you learned
this piece of Gomorrah
it simply means he was looking to have
mysterious Nestor's right Yaakov you've
learnt the Gemara that's what the Damara
means what is Casilla saying what is
that abandon here he's heading here of
much deeper ideas that the rep is not
it's not just tackling the issue of what
that I was attacking the issue of why
why why the dhurbey of kefir wanna be
why was this is paradigm and the answer
is because because he came to the
understanding this is why I was created
I was created to be a godly being on
earth so I'm sorry to be a godly being
so we're better can you find being a
godly big compete with God so in other
words it's the paradigm that sets the
the the way you live your life and it's
so true each and every one of us
whatever our paradigm is at certain
times in our life that's the type of bed
we make remember that you do not you
don't people say well it just happened
to me no no it just happen to you
at some point you decided you want to do
this and years later you find yourself
doing that and and and vice versa
sometimes and that also includes doing
this which could be something that later
you're gonna regret but but but why why
because you realize you made a mistake
in the paradigm you released you you
really set set a low paradigm or on the
real erroneous paradigm so you end up
like years later saying life has passed
me what have I done to myself like I
told you when we started learning the
previous mind who can really tell you
what's your paradigm or ever now it's up
to you to make that decision yeah free
will Robbie Hayman a the dead of see
over the other code what path should you
go up only Robbie not a psychologist not
a good rabbi not a good receiver a
doctor a lawyer no one can tell you a
Sedaris Darris and I've a dissection
comes from a Rebbe or a Rebbe light
figure who doesn't have an agenda I need
you on my team
I need you on my team anyone who tells
you I need you my team stay far away
from them
and I said we saw this with the Reverend
and then just saying just from what I
observed 25 30 years being with her ever
so many people came in he didn't tell
him I want you to be alibi batur he
didn't tell him many times most times I
want you to be thrilled
that wasn't the language I want you to
find your neshama see this Chabad is
about one thing explore your soul find
out who you are how I see this helps you
find out where you are I rep as a
pointer but at the end of the day
at the end of the day Moshe we need to
find out ourselves who we are that's
what it's about so when someone came to
the by the chair ever for a breath or
there he didn't he didn't tell him you
need you need to do it this way
that's that comes that that that that
choice has shared granted everyone and
it's a very healthy way of living but at
the same time and we like this in the
previous mind - I'll lay right in boohoo
case I tell a whole world what did we
learn not if you follow my mitzvot Torah
and mitzvot
but in the lesson shall abide meaning I
wish there is a wish in other words what
is the would consist of I'm giving you a
little secret that this this path is a
good path try it out now it's up to you
so the whole idea of of tackling life's
roads and and issues is up to us so that
ever says here that Rabbi Akiva had had
no he had pleasure
but how is Suren in his in his pain and
agony why because he said his paradigm
being with Hashem that's what he decided
who Fischer Miller let me continue a
little bit of a summary side the citator
so when he heard the secrets of Toyota
for a BLS the metabolism in a mid- Tom
salary because they were so good so
tasty tooth power so delicious little
regards nev apne me and the secrets were
so pleasurable so essential and so deep
the in k police of hotma within the
depths of the wonders of clockman the
language here so not part of poetic but
it's so rich look at this tooth times
regards to Bo Pelini by the gods me me
me in place of Huffman's like it's
really one word for delicious and
desirable and great right fascinating
but that ever had a beautiful path the
previous level was a master writer and
the way he writes it is is is so rich he
mean is there who yeah give us that's
why he became far-fetched why because he
couldn't obtain this he was looking for
this he was struggling and it made an
tight
so then zogu ain't of demoys that's when
his eyes shed tears in other words he
heard the secrets of tina and for years
he was looking for this and finally when
most of - do you mind turning off your
mic please and finally went when the
when the when the when he got the
revelation by listening to his teacher
of the Alessa he couldn't handle it it
was the diffuse blue what happens when
you can't handle something you either go
cuckoo crazy or you cry he cried he
cried out of joy finally finally
something I've been working on all these
years
finally I've gotten a taste of it
Rahzel some do it brings another good
mother the mother says a Mason rosie
tato we do not give over the secrets of
theta ll and me Shelly Brigade but it
abou only to one whose heart is anxious
within within us within inside of
himself
what does it mean anxiety holy anxiety
positive anxiety Jakob normally anxiety
is very bad for us and we have too much
of it we've become white quickly and
cuckoo faster anxiety is not good the
governor does say there's one time
anxiety is good when you that bothers
you that you don't know the secrets of a
shaman you don't you're not with God and
it bothers you and you're anxious about
it and frustrated oh the mother says if
that's who you are my solenoid Strozzi
tighter then we give you the secrets of
Toninho
so again Rahzel chambre Mason Rossiter
only ll initially but like the kid to
someone exercises anxiety with himself
the idiom is cedars Rosie tell you know
having early coolship adazi Taylor
actually will stop here and we'll
revisit this tomorrow now do any of you
have any questions or comments on what
we learned yeah yeah I have a question
rabbi please we're going to sing about a
singer cut sonic a Rebbe on that level
obviously the Rebbe is passed from this
world yes is there anyone today could we
say that there's anyone who's a level of
a a Rebbe each other today
is there anyone left like that look I
you know this is not for me or you to
decide this is the decision of every
person however you know when I when I
wasn't there to throw about 20 years ago
and I met the option of a rabbit by is
the gun to me you know I can't you know
I I'm not a maven of the size of Rebbe
which they say he is even though he
himself says he's not but he's
definitely a servant of Hashem that I
could tell you and not just humble he
you know he's a dick
he doesn't need he doesn't sleep I was
there at a quarter to 5:00 in the
morning and his stomach was growling
like you did
and eaten in two days I heard out my own
ears I'm not making that up you know so
a person whose host who's not sleeping
and not eating and learning and helping
people that type of a person is a is a
great candidate for being the Rebbe
whether he's this time parade that that
you know that's not it's not like we
have far fewer today it seems like we're
talking about the Robin Kiva's day or
even room Rebbe
yeah you know there is there is a
mattress and a college bar cool does not
let us be bereft of sad deacon and and
in the world it's a membership of the
Mara so the issue is whether this person
talks to you and you see in him not the
soul that he identifies himself and to
you it's soul to soul not body the body
that is that is really to me and humble
the two issues that you know and they go
together if you have real humility you
know then you have that ability of being
sold to soul today we live in this
hotspots world where everything centers
around miracles in Subodh you should
know just for the record miracles was
never the criteria of a Rebbe it's it's
the Altair ever and he gathers the clay
this I think 22 sons that the whole
approach in the polish Hungarian Hasidic
movement that's all about miracles in
Kabbalah wasn't about miracles although
miracles they say were rolling under the
table but it was nothing about miracles
and I heard this from my teachers you
know the whole approach the different
approach Retta wasn't you know a what
miracle did he do I'm gonna go to the
Rebbe I have a problem and he's gonna
say something I'm gonna have a miracle
that wasn't the attitude not that it
didn't happen many times but that wasn't
the attitude today it's been changed
it's it it's been changed on the outside
where everything is about miracles see
all most harbour engines or Habad events
you go to you'll hear events of the
rapids this miracle for this person of
this miracle disability and people need
that today that's what people need I
could tell you you know for being a
power speaker and that's what gives a
lot of people and muninn chaos but here
we are an intimate group learning
classes we go a little deeper and we
understand that that that's not the
criteria so moisture might you're asking
me much in other words if you you're
asking a very good question how do you
know who's a ready for today for you and
everyone dancer is it only could come
how you how you feel it to see it and
it's not about someone can tell you he's
a Rabi because I had this story make
this miracle that's true but who says
the miracle is gonna be for you right
it's it's a different criteria the
criteria is whether this neshama that
came on earth you see in this the
Schirmer
a revi ability and by the way I'm not
saying there's only one Rebbe it can be
multiple rivers that saves one read that
but but run it's something much deeper
than than the outside you know and it's
not giving a good class or good advice
those are important things that's not
what I read is a rabbit is like I told
you over and over a soul geologists a
maven under neshama and if you think of
it that way how many people are may our
maven under the new soma it's it's it's
it's a it's a who could be amazing an
addition so the baal shem tov introduced
the concept of a rather who was gifted
by hashem a special gift which is this
quality and sometimes takes time for it
to come out at the end of the days
belief so using the miracles as brief
is you know in other words in other
words if he did five miracles he's the
Rebbe of quality a if he did ten
miracles he's a rep of quality B but
that whole approach is very for me the
way I see it very shallow it's it's like
it becomes like what did he do for me
but what did he do for the world of
course of course these things are
happening and and you should know today
the rebels are held you see so many
streamers and fuss I would say probably
this more novel babbage's company - the
rebels aerial demo by lectures on
average week I'm not talking about give
no promise for the yard site you know
it's become a place here in New York but
could I just be a mere oh really I'm
telling you it's it's it's a fascinating
phenomena but that's the phenomena
anyway however I have to build up inside
the zone to have a good day will seek
tomorrow okay well thank you very
