Let's learn Let's learn
a little bit here. We're on page chapter
four.
So the Reb said the Rashab said he
explained to us that there's two aspects
to and that the second aspect is
indicated by the uh the bottom point of
the Yud which is called the kites and
it's inclined and curves towards the
left which means it turns toward it it's
inclined towards the H of the K the
first H which is bina because that is
the position
in that already allow allows for the
emergence of Bina. Let's continue inside
the next chapter.
It's explained elsewhere at length.
There's a concept
that both and have a separate a separate
source in the ne
and because it has two separate sources
it it manifests itself later in two
separate aspects of creativity which is
and bina which is the um application or
the development. Let's see what he says
further.
Are not dependent one on the other.
That's why what do we see is there are
certain people that are very creative
when it comes to analysis and
development. They're a disaster. They
have no they can't do it. Other people
are great in analytics but it comes to
creativity
they can't do that. They're weak in that
area. So the says because
one is not dependent on the other.
Even though we see that there is a
unity,
we do find an an adjacent closeness
between the two.
For example,
The flash point, the geometric point,
the idea of
comes to be later understood and
comprehended by
actually
and you cannot have the comprehension of
Bina without having an idea without
having the
so from this we see that there's There
is a relationship between the two.
And he gives an example. Just as it's
impossible for there to be a river
without a wellspring the whole river
from where does it come from? From a
Mayan. If there's no Mayan, there's no
river. We're not talking about an
artificial river. We're talking about a
real river.
So what in the analogy what is the Mayan
the creative idea what is the
expansiveness of the idea it's
comparable to the to the river so this
implies
seemingly that there is a connection
between the two and that one cannot be
without the other
and so do every wellspring every Mayan
if what happens when it comes out it
develops into an expansion i.e a river.
So again, we see that from both sides,
both from the side of the Mayan and both
in the side of the the river, there's a
connection between the two
that's the analogy. So in the moral
every geometric point flash of
creativity
it comes to its fruition through the
full development and comprehension of
what we call
and all comprehension
and develop Velment must have as its
source as its root an idea because if
you if you develop something and you
don't have the idea there ultimately
it's a bad idea. It it doesn't go
anywhere.
It has to have a a foundation.
Ahma the idea is the the assad and once
YOU HAVE A YOU CAN HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF the of the foundation.
Here ends the rhetorical question of the
rashab and now come his comes his retort
this that we just said in the last four
lines or so
it's only because
there is an exclusiveness
and a and a unity between
but in truth ain't William Zaz
they're not dependent one on the other.
So here is making a very refined refined
difference the difference between
dependence
and association.
I want you to think about that
association doesn't mean that I depend
on you. It means I'm associated with you
but I don't depend on you.
You're not my father. You're not my
mother. You're a friend. You're a
student. It's good to be with you. Fine.
But
I'm dependent on you that without you I
can't exist. Not true. The Rashab says
the same is true for and
have their own place in the neph
when they come into their state of
application
they use each other
but they don't depend on each other.
Let's continue.
Each one
has an independent source
and it could be there should be pure
without
and he gives for example next page.
We see in actuality
this is what I said earlier
there someone is so creative he can come
up with constantly new new ideas the
inventor
however
he can't PUT IT INTO PRACTICE because he
doesn't he he isn't able to take the
idea the genius idea from its inception
to actualization
alur
to comprehend it very well in detail
so that it sits and dwells well in the
person's head. No, he can't do that.
He's not strong in that area.
And then there are some that are very
strong in comprehension.
They very strong in comprehending
something very well.
and and it it sits well in their mind
but
THEY CAN'T COME OF THEY'RE NOT CREATIVE.
They're not creative. They they
understand it. They've developed it. But
that power of creativity to take that
thing that I understand now well and to
come up with a new idea new creation
ZILCH NADA e they can't do that
rather what can they do maven
they can understand
once you give them a logic once you give
them an idea
it's already found and already exists.
They take it from here and go further
with it. But to come up with a creative
idea, they don't have any power. They
don't have that talent.
They can take something that they heard
from their their friend
or they found something written and they
take that thing that's written and they
develop it. That's
but they are their own without the safer
and without their friends sharing some
idea with them.
They cannot create a new idea. They're
very that's not their strength
creativity. They're not creative. We'll
make it short.
Although usually a an an idea will come
to its it it's its realization through a
the through comprehending and
developing. Nevertheless,
guess what? they won't be able to
explain the the idea. In other words,
they have they get an idea and then they
develop it. Ask them to to tell you
how'd you come up with the idea. They
can't they have no they have no no
talent at all in creativity. So the
world of creativity is closed to them.
That's because that their their soul is
is a beike soul.
And not only can they not share with
others the idea but even to themselves
they are weak in understanding the idea
again they take an idea they develop the
idea they they they they explain the
idea of excellent well but to to be able
TO TELL YOU WHAT IS THE IDEA HOW DID I
COME UP WITH THE IDEA AND ALL that they
can't tell
As we see in the
he brings the
a chick that was hatched on
says it's forbidden because it's
it's something born
and it's forbidden.
So these two
ask
What's the difference between a chick
that's born on
and a calf that's born from a ta animal?
And what's the hala
over there? It's what?
It's permitted to be slaughtered and
eaten on the festival.
Right?
IF SO, THE QUESTION they asked they
asked him was if it's if
then why isn't um uh why isn't a
and it should be forbidden to be eaten
and says it's not
very famous words was silent he didn't
have what to answer
right he
He didn't find a adequate explanation to
discern between the two cases.
So you would think y you would think
that Rav changed his opinion because
like we say in good old yeshivish
language he was uprect uplo right. I GOT
YOU. RIGHT. RIGHT.
The Gmorra says
RAH DID NOT CHANGE HIS OPINION. HE STILL
EVEN THOUGH HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN THE
DIFFERENCE between this scenario and
that scenario
and that's why he was silent. He didn't
have an explanation.
He didn't change his opinion. Why?
because in his
a a a a born on the yumptive is
forbidden.
In other words, the intuition
OF THAT CREATIVE FLASH TOLD HIM IT'S
FORBIDDEN.
HOW TO EXPLAIN IT? HE couldn't
when he was questioned and challenged.
Look further.
You hear this EXAMPLE IN KNEW THAT HE'S
RIGHT WHEN IT CAME TO HE COULDN'T
EXPLAIN IT so he kept quiet but it
doesn't mean that he changed his opinion
because the intuition
was was by him so strong that he knew
that this is right how am I going TO
EXPLAIN IT I CAN'T maybe someone greater
than me can
uses this example to show you that there
could be
now I want to tell you say GOT TO BE
VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE U A DOCTOR is a
doctor and they'll COME UP WITH SOME
CREATIVE idea and their colleagues will
come to them and said could you prove
your hypothesis and they won't be able
to and they won't change THEIR MIND AND
THEY'LL GO AND DO WHAT THEY WHAT THEY
CAME UP WITH well they could be sued and
fired
but we're talking about we're talking
about
we're talking about an an idea. In other
words, CAN IT BE possible that something
resonates? That's the word I'm looking
for is in resonating.
SOMETHING resonates in you. THIS I KNOW
IT'S RIGHT. I KNOW THIS IS THE way it
should be. I can't explain it. That'sma
that's coming from a place called
and isn't always able to be explained
through. That's what he says.
And then sometimes you can have
without in other words you're very good
in developing and explaining but you you
don't have the power of creativity.
Goes back to his thesis in this chapter.
THAT'S BECAUSE EACH HAS A SEPARATE
SOURCE IN THE ne in soul in the soul.
Each one has a source for itself.
Takes itself
from what's called masle of nighter.
I'll explain soon. I believe
takes himself from
these are part of THE
that's what he's referring to
next
these are two separate
places
that says not only are these separate
they're contrary the
The word is is associated. It means to
guard.
He says see over there.
What does it mean?
MEANS DON'T EXPAND. DON'T EXTEND.
Just stay to yourself. Guard yourself.
In a state of nothingness, of humility,
of subservience.
But the from the
masle
IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH DOING with
expansion
OF
that's the idea of expanding and
specifically becoming a yes not in an
arrogant sense but an existence
emergence of existence.
is the and this is the idea that the
both aspects of
they come
from the masle called
and
right
again both of those are part of
the explains further
is the idea of nothingness and
subservience
creativity ity seeks to make me from
existence,
right? Nothing. In other words, you look
at the heap, you look at a car,
right? You look at a car and you don't
see the the car. You see the metal which
was a heap of metal made into a car. So,
you work backwards. You're making of the
yesesh of the car. I in nothing meaning
it's not what is it A CAR IT'S A BUNCH
OF METAL AND IT WAS PUT TOGETHER METAL
SO metal the state of of of of a heap of
a pile of metal pre-making it into a car
is considered in comparison to yesesh
therefore was called the power of what
is
it It's in its essence it is maz I don't
know what it is because it's iron
because itself in its very core is
humility and subservience
this is this is just one one point
which means there it's the contrary the
lack of the opposite of expansion
and
impacts everything to be in a state of
humility.
That's why called is called
who sees the future
sees in everything
how it is born from nothingness. It came
from nothing next to
and this is how it it this is how is
drawn it comes comes to be because
brings about in every state of
this is also referred to as seeing the
essence
seeing the essential thing by day.
By seeing the essence
not only you have the obliteration of
SELF BUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF existence
is not this we call inidus
language
for example
go to meers
a king who completely IS SUBSERVIENT AND
NO YOU SEE THE KING YOU stop you become
OUT ZERO the king's here I see the king
as it's explained at length elsewhere
the difference between seeing and
listening
so we have these two aspects also within
the the point of
even when it comes comes into reveal.
Nevertheless, it's still above the idea
of listening, of hearing
what's felt in in in the situation is
its essence.
So this is as he said before, this is
the masle of the 13 tributes attributes.
They're drawing down into the world
their concept of ay of subservience
humility
and comes mas from another mazle which
is CALLED
THAT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE TO MAKE
EXPANSION FROM THE yesesh
that's by comprehending and development
and length and in width.
So the sensitive refined idea comes into
a way where you could grasp it.
There is an advantage this which it
being more inner
because then the the person's v vitality
his energy and his pleasure of godliness
is is is felt more deeper inside
I'm not going to explain that
this is their concept of the
the
again he says this is the the focus on
the on existence
what we understand from this
the source of their of of them being
are not only different they're opposite
each other
that's WHY
because the two not only separate but
they're opposite each other
each one has a separate source
I said earlier nevertheless
usually
usually does come into
that's because of the inclusiveness
they they they they include each other.
So in their source
they they they go one into the other
one without the other.
each one has a separate source which is
called the maz of the
and their source are opposite.
Nevertheless,
they can be inclusive.
Have a great
day. We'll see everyone on Monday.
Shalom. Bye.
