Intellect and Emotions

good morning we're uh learning the mimer of the malibi of the sliches and we are on page 10 in ice bays and we left off yesterday where the reb explains to us the difference between the difference between the the various aspects of the spheros of the emanations of hashem and this was all to to to elaborate on the nakuda that nasa adam bitsalmanu heavenly man is made in the image of hashem so by understanding how we function it helps us understand hashem better that's the nakuda so let's go back into the text and we are one two three four five six um okay we're about 10 lines from the from the beginning of the where it says okay so we're we're it's actually about 15 the 1450 lines the line begins [Music] is different than the other emanation in its very essence and core but i know not only are the emanations of intellect different than the emanations of machiphem the kessler the crown the encompassing machine and different also than the emotive emanations called swedish hamidos [Music] within the energies and the vessels within each one give me a moment okay as the saying goes three um kind of holes three shaheen this refers to three specific chain chambers build google's other in man's skull there is found a specific intellectual element [Music] that is different in its in what it's comprised of its material so what are we saying that the actual brain material that's used for hakma is of dif is different than the brain material for bena and the brain material for das you know what that what that would mean scientifically i don't know but when you use your seiko in the mode of chakma you're you're you're accessing another material matter of the brain so it's not only what we're learning here is it's not only that the content is different but the actual claim that is different you ain't seen you with me on this very interesting program is more wet and the left hand side of the plane is more dry thank you thank you very much for clarifying yes so this what you're saying fits right into what we're learning excellent continuing he says it right next line look at this and the way the the brain that's associated with bina who harm the yogis it's dry and warm the rain so there are differences in the brain depending on the seiko that you the particular idea that you are processing isn't that interesting is using all of this as an analogy who top of page 11 bahasweta schiller milo so it's all true in the same manner in the heavenly emanations although this is a rhetorical remark although there we know a rule that the emanations are like a chain one coming from the other motion the end of the upper loop is the head of the lower loop so there's an association between the two his retort is nevertheless [Music] and the way one comes from the other is also different lee [Music] why because you have to begin with this with kuda which is we're talking about a different spheros so the fact that one is mustafa from the other does not detract an iota from the fact that you're talking about this is khachba this is bina this so as is as you're going to say that there is an association between the spheros as they progress one from the other that's true only after the fact that we accept and understand that the essence of each sphero is very different than the other one in other words don't make a mistake thinking that the emotive elements the emotive emanations are like sake eliminations no completely not however is there a progress a process and progress for the development of the emotions sure the healthier your mind is in an organized way and then does then your chest and your gavura and your the ferris are healthier what if you skip a step and you go right to bina and you don't access and you don't access das then your meda will be a lopsided media you'll have a media you'll have an emotion but the emotion will be [Music] not exactly um refined and that is why we see people have emotions and many times the emotions are out of whack the emotions are you know uh going in different directions and to the point where they become unhealthy and you ask what happened what happened is that it didn't go through the process which it needs to go through for it to be regulated now there are other times when one wants to experience a transcendental experience a selfless experience an out of body experience maybe then having an emotion directly from the nephesh from the soul not going through the process the the chabad system first has its benefit and that it's also this is also disgusting going from the emotion directly from to the soul but that's the that's kind of the exception the average and and most uh most beneficial way is it goes through a system the child is a child and the rambam says it you teach a child you give them candies and toys and the child gets older and says i don't want any candies anymore so you say you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna i'm gonna give you uh i'm gonna bribe you a little bit with things that are more sophisticated and then after a while becomes a teenager and those things don't talk to him or her yes hillel so what you're just saying about uh directly from the emotion is that sort of a uh different understanding of the difference between the chabad and the well yes and no i would say yes and no now what do i mean does everyone understand hilo's question hillary's saying based on what i said before the difference between the media's coming as following chabad the intellect versus the meters going directly to the nephesh so he's asking me would that be would that be the difference between the chabad style of and i said yes and no and why did i say yes and no because it isn't usually the case that the emotions that employs it isn't i don't want to say usually but it's it's not it's not the average hussaid's soul experience that's not soul soul hilo dancing and shouting and clapping and thinking doesn't yet mean soul nephesh nephesh is a very different experience which which can express itself either through chabad or through hagas but if you're asking me this is why i said yes or no if you're thinking that when you see a breast liver you know clapping and getting all ecstatic with that clapping and you're saying that's coming from his nephesh i say not necessarily it could i'm not going to rule it out but i'm not yet convinced why because that breast lifter learned le coutimeran or he heard from one of his teachers that the way you access uh avoid this hashem is through this particular emotional experience so there too hill he's doing that because he has a certain idea that he learned and was taught so that's not nefesh that's intellect where i was coming from okay one second where i was coming from and asking the question i was thinking about what jonathan said about uh about the liquidity in the brain and and what mimer said and then i was thinking that on pet scans things that show electrical activity in the brain there are it's not that when when certain kinds of prosthesis go on it's not that the whole brain is not being used it's that some areas get a more concentrated dose of energy so so uh so what i was thinking about was uh that that there's a pathway through chabad you know an intellectual pathway that lights up the brain in a certain way and there's a pathway through through that lights up the brain in a circle that's true yes yes so that that i would say yes i thought i thought you were asking me about chagas coming directly from nephesh and and and and what i was saying is that nephesh is a very different experience nephesh is a spontaneous experience and that spontaneity can express itself through khabad and through hagas so in in hasidis there is a uh there is brought it's called midis the godless and midos the kapnos you understand you remember those terms and what does it mean meat is the cotnus miniature motion miniature small meadows means the middles as they are a result of seiko neither is the godless are the middles the way they come directly from nephesh this needs more conversation and maybe at another time let us continue but but but moshe so far is it clear what i'm saying yeah okay yeah thank you let's go further peyton says these differences are the overall the specific not the general difference between the sphere ice but the specific difference between them the yeah sure definitely buzzfeed that ever says now there's another additional general difference in this video is commercial and because as they are in each realm of you know we talk about the four worlds that's hilos bria etc and asia what's the acronym for them each one has a subset of ten spheres known as the emanations that that are that are are a a part of that realm so the realm sets the agenda in other words let's let's say it a little more simple here we have jonasin moshe myself and hillel each one of us are different now we all have ten speeders but uranus is tense feet is is based on youngster and mine is based on me and you're as much as you and hillary orlando you can't say we all but what do you mean it's intellect in its emotions of course it's intellected emotions but who are you and depending on who you are that's the way your intelligent emotions are it's exactly what he's saying here so the ten spheros of habria are very different than the ten spheres of oil and cedar it's a very different direction so we have you know again what's the different direction whatever whatever whatever axilla's bria you'd see it in a cr whatever each one is then the emanations the tools and instruments manifest what the agenda is so you can't compare agendas because each world just like each person has another agenda okay one person is participating in the sheer because they want to understand deep casitas another person wants to get a bottom line result from the mimer a third person is looking for emotional support right now it's not that you can't have two things you can have two things at the same time but the fact is that there are differences welcome back yoni okay so now he says the aina on page 11 line four four five formation to the world of creation and so too vaina doing the cloud you can't compare at all the tenths features of the world of creation last year is that the names in each world in each realm are the [Music] they're the same names and their and their idea of they they being intellect emotive and practical are the see other three are the same three trends look further nevertheless the muslim they're very different in their core essence because the agenda is not set by them the agenda set by the world they're in we set our agenda of emotions and intellect and practicality depending on each one of who we are so the fact that we are all now studying a mimer and trying to understand with our sequel nevertheless it's yoni sejo so everyone is going to understand it based on who they are although we're all using cycle so we are using all together every one of us is using our intellectual tool to understand the content but nevertheless we process it differently because we are different let's continue inside the whole so this clarifies to us the way these emanations express themselves in our meshrama in our soul our soul powers are divided into two categories one called makifum the encompassing peripheral cochleas and number two opinion the inner cocos and within these two categories you have makifi mushroom kesser the crown which we spoke about yesterday in the intellect and the emotions look what he says pleasure and will the willpower they are what we call peripheral cohosts they don't have a specific aver a limb a a a place where you could say this is their abode leo's kayla malaya mello shame them because when you have pleasure pleasure is not limited to the brain you you could pleasure is any any part of your body can have pleasure and so too will power yes it's recognized in the brain you hear that because the brain is the seat of intelligence and thought an idea but but where is the where is the pleasure felt it can be felt in your feet when you put it into a hot mikvah or a hot tub and you say ah so the recognition of of it being the schmuck is in the brain but that's not the seat of the pleasure and the same is true with willpower well clothes i have fish that's what he says and the difference is expressed because of the particular place in which the pleasure and the will power is revealed but from the perspective of the soul the ain't very i desire to swim i desire to draw i desire to climb this and i get pleasure from that it's so there's no one place where you could say pleasure this is the seat of pleasure let's continue [Music] or the person says i don't want this or i don't have pleasure from it this is all what we call now we go to what's called quechua's premium the inner kaijus they invest themselves in specific places where is the seat the brain in the head not in your toes and not in your heart um where is the seat of emotions who believe it's in the heart have you ever heard of someone trying to feel with intellect yeah and it's a problem feeling at the end of the day is with the heart to appreciate feeling we use intellect you know you know like in a shidduch right they call it chemistry right did they what what's the shot the shot is a left there should be some attraction between the male and the female that's not in the head and if it's in the head we you know it's not it's not great now i'm not saying the other end you have to have heart palpitations when you meet your you know you go on a shitty date then you and even when you're engaged it doesn't say that in the toyota if it happens it happens there needs to be a a fine balance between the two but but what if a person and people wrote to the rapper you should know they don't have feelings and that ever many times told them continue meeting and then after a while if you still don't have the feelings then you it's not for each other you're not for each other because feelings of one second you only feel em feelings need to be in the heart again i'm not saying heart palpitations but some feeling i'll tell you a personal uh a personal story to clarify but i met my wife so it was a very nice time but i wrote to the rabbi i said you know i have very very good friends and i don't have a i don't have a re i don't feel any real difference between sitting with my wife this girl and my friends this was in the beginning and that ever told me he answered me continue meeting so i understood right away he's telling me this is your and cut it out you know but um even if you don't believe that continue meeting and you will develop and see that sitting with a woman for a date for a shidduch is different than sitting with your best male friend and indeed it was that way but it took another time and another time yes my question is about this the point is talking about here about stimulation then the that is supposed to be coming from the heart and the attraction from the heart not necessarily from the into it is that maybe i mean i i don't know if it's only a hasidah's thing but is that the reason why there's a a big problem today let's say yeshiva world where the concepts the torah concepts are are being learned intellectually where you know someone goes to punish or he goes to me or he's learning all day 14 hours a day not talking about a guy who goes and smokes you know you know like outside not guys it's really 13 14 hours but there's no opportunity to to use the heart meaning to to use the heart would be missing doing this physical you know going to a hospital so the things that are being taught it's very nice to intellect but it's not penetrating to the heart because it's without myosin we need to do the mice okay so implementation right but but you'll need there's three things intellect emotions and mycin i think you're really putting the focus on my sin and that's another discussion okay but that's not what we're discussing here right now we're not not yet we're talking here about intellect versus emotions now the truth is and you know i've been writing a lot about this the muslim movement was exactly what you're identifying they hoped that that would be the counter i don't counter not the counter the um complementary tool to express emotions in the litvisher you know gamora oriented world but as uh i forget who wrote and i quoted it in my book on the rubbish elevation the rebbe he wrote this i think in the 20s or 30s he said we have lost to the khasid and this is the 20s and 30s it didn't work it did not work and i could tell you it didn't work what do i mean you could count on your fingers the amount of yeshivas and students within the yeshivas who study muslims seriously not saying there aren't any there are but if you could take 10 000 students if you show me maybe i don't know 500 300 i'll be very surprised so there is something to that that the musser has is completely um [Music] out of the real realm of serious study you know some yeshivas they have a 15-minute muslim say there and you know either you you excuse the expression we're used to saying yeshiva yoni will appreciate the saying and you're honest and you'll probably also remember it you shoved the bull you know your that's what we used to call it it was a nice way of saying you just waste your time with idle chatter and those that don't do that but some are learning this and someone learning that you know it there isn't a cohesiveness an organized way now let's talk about hasidis hasidis too has not yet permeated the world of khasiddhishi yeshivas and this you should know was a pet peeve of the rebbe the rabbit when he met with any other with with these other with other rebbers and other you know sadiq the number one thing i just wrote about this yesterday the number one thing that he wanted for them is to implement in their yeshiva serious study of casitas they wouldn't do it they would not do it and they argued because it wasn't their messiah okay i understand it wasn't their messora but that itself needs to be looked at even if it's not your miserable but we're living at a time where people and the rebel would say are reading magazines and newspapers that's what the rebels said 50 60 years ago you imagine what you would say today what they're looking at right so you're telling me it's not that this i heard from the rebel you're telling me it's not the messora you're out of your mind the messiah is not to read newspapers and they're reading newspapers so get with it make up your mind so there's a breakdown in in the learning of hasidis too but it's true what you identified that the that the there needs to be a place for expression of emotions and it's very good point you made because and i want to tell you learning you know in yeshiva yeshiva in morristown in particular we had a chance to invest in this type of activity that you're describing to to to to take the intellectual learning which we learned qasidis deep hasidis and ideas to think about and make you really think like a heart piece of gamora with rashi and tasters and and then gavin then to davin and davening meant thinking like we've learned the other day to comprehend very well godly ideas and that you did in your darvening with the purpose that when you say you should really believe and mean what you're saying fortunate is man who sits in the home of hashem so it's not just lip service but your mama's ashrae you feel lucky you know what i'm saying so it takes a a mindset what you're identifying is true you know when you give students an opportunity to do hesed it's a whole different experience mind you i want to let you know that in some of the heads there yeshivas inshallah for example you know that they on hanukkah they they go they go on what we would call me and and they're not the only ones so i i don't think it's fair to say you know that the babbage is the only ones there are other yeshivas maybe more in the hester line of yeshivas which are reaching out but absolutely the the mice the mice is very important but you know to change an old horse is very difficult you know when you're steeped in a certain way it's so hard to break the the pattern it's like the age-old argument you're using an art school gamora in the yeshiva based madrid shame on you what do you mean shame on you i i i i don't understand otherwise and i want to learn my brother-in-law found in a dumpster in chariot in sharing that's because of uh politics i have it now oh good for you no but but but you only that's what this happened recently or once upon a years ago right that's when there was a controversy but that's because i'm not talking about i'm talking about like it's a busha you should you know i heard i was looking and i asked about this this fellow that you know he learns he knows how to learn and i was told by his friend he learns a lot and he knows how to learn but he learns from from an english gemara from an art scroll for welford or whatever shines out whatever because he wants to understand and he's accomplished in learning now i understand there's something to a traditional gamora i'm i'm from that generation i can i can appreciate it but i've come to understand that the world we're in today we need that as a tool and it's a very good tool so whether it's tanya from lessons in tanya or you know someone said well why don't you sit with a harusa and learn the tanya or let's say hillel was learning um you know from the [Music] what are you out of your mind chismaveras is so rich and so wonderful to explain what's otherwise not understood by most people and it's not a second it's a not a compromise because i know what siddhis movers is i sit with the with the editor every shop is a shoe and i know his quality and his staff and i know what they're putting into it but they're making it would say i would say that um i've been through the tanya three or four times uh and with a uh and they that the uh the depth that the assita schmidwere showed me that i was missing sixty seventy eighty percent of it a hundred percent because they i mean it's so dense every every word is so deep right right right i also just done another thing i was just uh it stayed in my mind uh i did uh so i saw research i just did a little google search and i wanted to tell you all something fascinating about the um the moistness in the right in the right the fast set and the and the right side of the hemisphere but apparently one of the very early researchers in the anatomy of the brain whose name was broca he found the right hemisphere would be heavier by two grams of the male and a male person but less heavy and a female which has implications for being it seems and um and uh um and that and that it is duck uh you know heavier than the left side so uh so so it seems like the um the uh that that which the cobalam have said and what neuroscience is catching up to are are similar it would seem like that probably that difference is due to the liquid is due to moistness like like say so so again the difference between male and females please repeat that again is what so the right hemisphere is heavier uh than the left hemisphere more in males than in females and the right is and and the writers associate with what with well i was well uh the writer is associated with uh with kaufman and the left with beena right right correct but the right side then also is associated with acid correct the male side being tested so it seems like there are implications uh at that level for a lot of what we discussed very interesting yeah it's a fascinating it's a fascinating type of a study you know um hillel maybe you're the one to finally put it out you know put it out begin with with a paper and then develop it into a book i think i'm very i'm very serious i mean i've run twirsky god bless him you know if his mind is working and you could talk to him he would be a person to talk to about these ideas does he still come to bet chemist does he still come does rabbit i don't know i haven't seen i saw him at one point in this in the spring uh or maybe it was right before the corona separation so i don't i don't know what's happening now okay have a great travis everyone we'll see everyone sunday morning zai gazoo take care
