Today we're learning chapter 25 in
but I want to just go over the kitser
from the chapter 24
the taught us in chapter 24 that
creativity and amplification and
development understanding well that have
a different source in the nephesh. They
come from two different places and
therefore since they come from two
different places they can exist one
without the other
because in truth they do exist not just
they can they do exist in the ne as a
separate entity from the other.
Nevertheless,
he says
each one has a separate source and he
brings the 13 attributes masle the masle
of noter and masle of
we
No
isma
associated with
is associated with he explained it in
the chapter before I don't want to go
into it now but the point he shows is
that clearly
bothina
have a different source in the
nevertheless
not nevertheless but they have a source
but they're opposite each other's
creativity and is development and we
discussed that too how someone who's
strong and can create can't develop and
someone who developed can't create it's
very unusual that you have both
Nevertheless, here's the Nevertheless,
they do find cooperation. And like I
wrote on one of on the title of one of
the um clips, the the a post to the
shear,
opposites can attract.
People say, "I CAN'T GET MARRIED to my
opposite." Yes, you can. You just know
how to you just need to know how to
navigate
and are opposites.
But if have humility and that that comes
because there's something greater than
that illuminates them, then they could
live in peace.
And the story briefly, I've told you
this, but I have to say it again because
it makes the point.
known as big a lot written about him in
kabad literature
is dvening after his marriage and he's
dvening with his talis over his head
he's dvening for hours his wife comes in
and pulls the TALIS OFF AND SAYS COME
HOME already
his good friend
another great
is also doing and notices that after and
she nudes and schles him and bothers
him. He says, and she leaves, he says to
him,
"Your marriage is a mech,
a mistake." And
is is not a marriage. Give her a
divorce. If she doesn't appreciate you
dinging,
then you or her or both, you made a
mistake in who you took. You took a
woman, fine [clears throat] woman, but
she doesn't like you dinging shabas till
1 2 3 in the afternoon.
So he said to her, "You're right. I
would give her a divorce, but what
should I do that the Reb that officiated
and his braha will be in vain?"
He made a bra. He gave me
and it's a very powerful story. Very
powerful.
There's something greater than logic.
Logically, I I deserve to divorce you.
It was a mistake. But there's a reba,
there's a god, there's alik, there's
divinity, IT'S GREATER IF HE SANCTIONS
IT. Then the feeling of this others
don't have this feeling because they get
divorced obviously them who get
divorced. But his feeling was
there's something GREATER AND OBVIOUSLY
FROM HEAVEN I NEED TO be married TO THIS
WOMAN AND SHE SHOULD SLEPT MY TALIS ON
SHABUS AFTERNOON AND I SHALL HAVE TO PUT
UP with it.
you know, our kids, grandkids are
getting married. If this could be
communicated in a in in a in a subtle
way, you know, in in a because it's such
an the whole idea of kaducin is a godly
act. It's not just a physical act. Cuz
if it's JUST A PHYSICAL ACT and a very
nice one and a very right one, there
could be issues.
And yes, the says there's a time for a
get and there's we know all that.
So that's when the
says that it's the right thing to do now
and them agree. You know I had in my
community in Marin County
someone a very good friend the one of
the balabatim
and he wanted a divorce from his wife.
He was became a baltoua with a beard lab
and she was, you know, dragging sleing
along and
and and and they were always bickering
and all that. I said to him, look, this
is this is like a few years after I
came. I'm 25 26 years old. He's already
35 going up 40 or maybe was 40. You know
what I'm saying? like [laughter] I I
can't take this responsibility
and and general I know that theita and
I'm representing the lab is to to work
it out and stay put.
So came back 3 months later and again 3
months and he said I can't I said look I
I I'm not giving you the green light.
You could write to the rebba you're a
kabat just like I am. Reba is your Reba
just like he's my Reba. Write him a
letter and and and and you know you're
you in other words you're seeking
permission permission.
asked the reb for guidance
and the rebba wrote him back
quoting the kazal
shalias how great shal bias is and I'll
bless I'll mentioned you at the oh that
means the reba basically told him you
stay put and don't get divorced and I'm
telling you there was grounds for
divorce his wife wasn't going to the
mikvah
okay and the and he told that to the
rebba
And the Reb says, "Nevertheless,
Shaol buys is even greater."
And guess what? He changed his attitude.
He and they're married till today.
Theo
there's something greater that's beyond
[clears throat] what I feel and what I
see and what she sees and what she
feels. So I'm using this over here
because the kits are says here
opposite of NEVERTHELESS
they can be inclusive including one or
the other. Now
a creative mind doesn't see the value of
a you know a beena mind and a beena mind
doesn't have any understanding of what a
creative mind is says says is wrong
so it doesn't he doesn't explain it he
did actually mention it briefly in last
chapter but I'm amplifying it it's
because the both and are two points in
the nef but But the neph is greater than
and we learned that also earlier in this
mish
is beyond the individual
aspect of
SO IF YOU TAP into nephesh and you live
with soul soul is analogous to the in
the first story with
and soul is analogous to the second
story the is saying that shalas is even
greater than your bickering and you and
she not going to the mikvah and wanting
the divorce which again logically
I'm telling you I I forgot to say that
at that point after 6 months I was
inclined to to tell him that he could
divorce you know [laughter] she's not
going to the mikvah it's not a MONTH TWO
THREE SIX months
man's a man he's a man what what do you
want him to do go and do sins he's doing
what he a real balui wants to live like
aided
And what you cut him off
becomes
who's greater who know who who sees the
and that's what is that's the idea of
there are things we don't see we don't
understand we're totally not anyway next
chapter
he quoted earlier
you weren't here but I hope you'll get a
chance to relearn chapter 23 and 24 a
quote from
where it says there
comprehend
and then it says and be creative
make up your mind say
so so based on what we just learned
This saying of
is is is correct.
Look inside please.
This is the concept of the inclusion
of
who
and this is that there is within
creativity within
an aspect a notion of the the power of
FOR THE CREATIVITY TO EXPRESS ITSELF IN
A comprehensive way.
Although over overall speaking
creativity means that there is no
expansion. It lacks
which means expansion. It's only
it's
nevertheless it already gives place for
there later to be the development of of
and this is what it means that it's only
nevertheless next page
it will come it can come to the
expansion and comprehension as
understood by
that is
now he explains
what does that mean
just the opposite this is the inclusion
of
who and this is
although generally speaking what is many
examples Many details
is what is what does it mean for to
impact to use an element of the says a
beautiful thing here. It is
to take an idea that's been developed
and to extract it from its development
AND FIND ITS KERNEL. IT'S ITS GERM. IT'S
nikuda
in in in kabadic words to make of yesesh
iron. Again you see the car don't LOOK
AT THE CAR AS A FULLY DEVELOPED metal
car. see it as a heap of metal and A
HEAP OF METAL COMING FROM THE FROM FROM
THE MINERALS OF THE SOIL in the soil. In
other words, we extract and break down
the yesesh to the to iron. And who does
that? Beina does it. So in that case
is including within itself an aspect of
and that's the meaning of of what
for
this means that the entire comprehension
is is condensed within one point.
This hatams next page
these are important words have it's
called hatamsis the means points
means the summary
hatamis
it's the summation of bina in a in a in
a in a flash point in a geometric point
in one
at that and in that place it excludes
from the word it rejects it excludes all
details and explanations
grasps the essential concept here who
this is what we mean the essential
concept in one point
after so much development and so many
details and so many explanations
you sum it up in one could
if you think about it there are times
when we we we we hit on it you study
something you understand something and
you have examples and details and
explanations and Then somehow you come
up with a word or you know like a
summation that
THAT EXPRESSES THAT IN ALL THOSE ALL
THOSE explanations
that's it that's what we mean here
and as explained elsewhere this idea
boy
on the
go to the next page. Actually, go to two
pages
and you see there's a D beneath the line
there's a ute. Again, there's the top of
the ud that's called a tag. Then there's
the body of the ute and then there's the
end of the ute where it curves to the
left. That's called the kit. So, he's
talking about the upper and the lower
and the body. So what does he say? And
this is this is the what we see in the U
that there's two edges, two points and
then there's and then there's the body
of the youth. And he explains
who
the lower
is is
within.
Look at the bottom of the ute. Look how
it's curved and inclined towards the
next letter which in this case we're
talking about the ut which is k
the first hey OF THE MASHEM WHICH IS
BINA. So that's why HE SAYS THAT THAT
the bottom of the y the bottom point it
is the concept of OF
it's
and it's
I'm SORRY IT'S IT'S STILL IT'S PART OF
THE BUT IT'S the way the you the is
expressed through
And that's why it curves and is incline
towards
I'm not going to go into that.
who next page
the higher he calls it the kites but
really Mosha tells me it's known as the
suffer when they write they refer to the
top uh point not as kites but as tag but
here it calls it the top kit is what we
call in kabala the level of within
And that is the essential point in
exchange for any letter whatsoever. In
other words, before you GET TO THE BODY
OF the yud, you have the kit the the top
point that is in exchange for any letter
canal the then comes
the body of the ute. We call that the of
the
this is the expansion, right? Both
points upper and lower are very thin and
little and also thin. Where do you see
some meat and flesh
on the yud? It's in the in the in the
middle. That's the yud. So in in in
inidic words is it's we call that the
right that's the broadness
the width
that's not
that is like the bulk of the which is
It's the the the essence of as it
expresses itself at least in a form
THAT'S LIMITED I.E. THE BODY of the
youth
repeats it the bottom
That means it it represents the ability
of taking the point and bringing it to a
place of expansion
with comprehension.
A look
the Reb in this paragraph that explained
only till here
um
he explained
he didn't explain
that's what he does now in the
parenthesis look inside
in the scenario of the the diagram of
the what would be the
It's the it's the not within the letter
with it's THE WITHIN THE LETTER HEY THE
next
it's left leg the
he says possibly possibly says
next page
This is
[snorts] after you have what's called
length and width. In other words, after
you develop an idea in full force,
you got to take out the summation. Says
the summation after the expansion in
length and width is expressed in the
hay. And that's the idea of the be
that's the idea of what he calls that
um
we could also say
here is obviously in his own in his
world of it's not clear it looks like so
he's coming up with two scenarios
possibly
possibly you could say
when you write a
you start with a yud knows this right
then you continue drawing from the the
roof kind of of the hay
maybe
says that when you start drawing from
the
from the hay downward.
That essential drawing downward is an as
you drag it down to make the leg of the
hay. That he says would be the
equivalent of what we call
I don't know more. I don't know about
this and it's it's I I I just don't
know. So I just read the words and we'll
have to leave it at that.
What does it mean to comprehend within?
This this implies this means the
inclination of
to be understood and comprehended
is
it is the inclination of
to be incorporated in the summation.
He we discussed in this chapter the two
points
and we explained also the bulk of the
which is
so this is this is the the end of this
chapter and tomorrow
it's a short chapter but we will learn
that uh tomorrow
everyone and have a great day. Shalom.
Bye.
>> Sure.
>> Take care.
