let's learn the kit sir
good morning what do you know we got we
got we
we were at 373 we got 379
oh sorry okay 379
okay no we learned 379 and we we're
holding at
the kids are in 383
no no no no no no no wrong wrong wrong
hold on
no you're wrong no
we're 373 i mean you're wrong
we're on 373. yeah that's what i have
yeah
kitzer second paragraph has
intellect coming from the
cause of the tree of knowledge because
of eating from it
so they kiss it's a descent
from the intellectual godly concepts the
pusher to
murkiness the high hayam of this world
have shot us have gotten to the vm
the removal of garments while the
by prophets while they were prom
prophesizing
and the statement the gomorrah the
stupidity the foolishness of the old
venerable
man helped him refers to a positive type
of
foolishness that's the exiting
of the natural uh senses
and this refers to a type of service to
hashem shalom
vadas that transcends logic
that's called we give we call it
uh foolishness let's continue painting
base
one question before you go ahead one
question
um the word mush kalos
to go uh to go
to yitzchak to bring the food to yitzcat
he uses a word to describe that is my
father will
feel me is it no that's
that's my muscles
okay different different word this comes
from this comes from shimush
and this comes from seijo two different
words
okay okay clean yeah
remember you know yesterday we were
discussing the thing about
what what the rep is talking about when
he says meshuggah right yeah
he's trying to explain so wasn't it
wasn't it that the navy and they
different review had different
prophecies meaning certain navy spoke
direct like moshe spoke directly to
hashem
and then a lot of the other beams spoke
in a trance and other ones spoke
in a dream so could the meshuga mean the
trance thing
it's like someone that's managed like in
a trance
he doesn't here he doesn't he doesn't
discern between
the two types of naviers that you're
referring to
and um it needs to it's a good question
but
i don't i don't believe siddhis gets
into that at least in our shop here is
not getting into it
so we would have to first begin by
looking into the first shim on tanakh
and go from there but it's it's good
that you point that out
pedic base chapter two beta engine who
page 373
to understand this further to elucidate
it
hashem made man straight proper
um
and because of the godly feeling that
man was given
he should have known and felt the truth
if hashem makes you proper and right how
all of a sudden do you make a u-turn
a left turn extra call to vibe
one should know the truth that which is
that all goodness in the world
is the ultimate is the spiritual good
the loud has been miles at vegas and
therefore
one should ascend the ladder of cleaving
bellicose the god of terrors in the
state of midfield
and furthermore
and how one should know that the
opposite of this good spiritual good
is absolutely
and all the different arguments of the
yates that we mentioned before
it's a very bad and bitter path
and one should realize if you again if
you're on if you're given a straight
path you should realize
that the convincing of the atari is a
complete lie and evil
the bad mistakes are according to them
because really the truth is
moisture man should have felt all this
without a headache
because of the godly feeling in him
so from where comes the cause
of
saying hey you know where it comes from
from that original sin
that original sin of haiti
it it's post creation right there was
creation
and then there was so the way
man was created before haiti tadasa he
was straight and pure
and would have not conceded
and been fooled by the yates or hera but
once he tasted of
what does that mean he tasted once he
came in touch
with within a place of god that allows
itself to have free will i.e good and
bad
he enjoyed it and that's where he became
not straight that's where he went off
the path
so this this is a general answer to a
very
philosophical general question
how why is it parents us
good people sometimes we have a child a
grandchild a friend and all that
and they they make a u-turn they make a
left turn and you ask
i'm so good so here's the answer don't
feel guilty
don't feel guilty it has to do with the
hate eta
now you should feel guilty if you know
you're goofed up and you're messed up
you know then you should but what i'm
saying is
today we all know people who are
you know gordon
and everything and kids at 10 11 12 13
don't want to be part of their parents
tradition
and you ask yourself where is this
coming from
so you say oh it has to do with the soul
so another other word another word for
has to do with the soul is
the the haiti
tainted the situation way back
so what we're doing as parents as
educators
and as rabbis and all that what are we
doing
we're fighting against the current
you see it's just the opposite of the
way
the way um we think sometimes
we think that you know what's
what's good and normal is the is the way
it is
and if we question why is it otherwise
why did i get the surprise without ever
saying here
you have it totally wrong the the the
challenge already began
then it had once that was planted and
man
it's open sesame you understand heaven
so this is something to think about
let's continue
yet
[Music]
with two youths should have said only
with one youth
because i'll say it hashem
created man with two yates
then there was the the the the
um the potency
[Music]
of the feeling next page early key
godliness dominated actually
to the point where man adam
did not feel natural senses or canal
bishop
as the morning he brought earlier says
man's entire involvement was in
intellectual ideas
and publicity and what's popular
that type of knowledge and interest did
not interest men
at all why
because he was so overwhelmingly
interested in godly ideas and godly
feelings however
what was created was just the opposite
should not say partake of a hergish
what dominated man from the moment of
dayton das
was the natural senses
and that entire approach of nature and
feeling good and all that
that's primary heinous
from that moment on man started to feel
how good gosh this is withholding your
timing with gosh with every natural
and material matter physical matters
who marcus feels very much
[Music]
it automatically causes him a lack of
feeling of
for godliness eliquid later to know the
heartbeat
of this you know what it says and that
is showing him in the early writings it
says
to have the oil and the hazard
at the same time you can't okay
the best of both worlds is
a fallacy you either are
uh or either the fact that there's a
manifestation
and a one-second hero and a and a you
know a facade it's a facade
so that's re that's what the rashaba is
saying here
pre-hate the it was
but doesn't mean that the there's no
yates or her but the aids of her is not
it's not inclination
and the good inclination controlled
and and and and directed the
the the other yetzer post
post hate is just the opposite the
yetzer horror is
the driving force before behind man yes
hillel
i was just gonna say that i would i'd
say we should dive in for a do-over but
i wouldn't be all that confident that i
get it right the second time
um again if you can
reach a level of of pre-hate
you'll be in good shape
you know um that would be like my that
would be like my korean passport that's
right
let's continue um
and this is where this falliness the
stupidity of the aids of horror comes
into play
because of the potency of
feeling the senses and gosh me is
he convinces himself more and more and
fools himself
and he keeps on going lower and lower
and he's not making a real husband
he says he's making a husband but it's
baloney it's the husband
the way he wants to make the hajj bin
you understand
negative side is below dos he convinced
himself it's das but it's not
it's stupidity
what's contrary to that who has to stick
it's to act with a silliness within
holiness
that's also a behavior that's not
logical
that's in transcendence
so you do something in your life you do
something
that's not understood by others
okay like in the 1940s
when my rebbe told me he came back from
a torch poland he went to learn
in the bavarian achievement two and a
half weeks later he he had to escape
with his friends because the
warwick broke out on september 139
but meanwhile he was there already a
year or so so he started to grow a beard
this is a brooklyn boy from teravadas
no one wore a beard if you wore a beard
you were
a weirdo a rabbi maybe wore a half a
beard you know a shrimp beard
and he comes back and he's walking in
the streets and
the cars are honking their horns because
they see a goat walking in the street
that's what he told us so just
at it at that time was just
but he he was he was convinced and he
didn't anyone against his parents
and against the community and later on
it became so popular people wear beards
so
what i'm saying is the there's an act of
stuss
the natural phenomenon is in 1940s
a young man who wants to get married and
normal people who want to have jobs
don't wear beards
otherwise you're not getting a job and
you're not getting you know
a good trigger and all that and he says
i don't care
i'm doing this it's a sticky douche
that's what i'm just trying to
bring a concrete example of
douchea and there's so many other yes
hillary you want to say something
yeah i just when i was first be coming
from yeah
i i had a i had a meal in the home of uh
uh of urbi at not turbodas
um berlin balloon his name was
brock bro one of the things
brown brown or broccoli
okay fine man i i got to know him a
little bit
and um a friend who was a talent of his
and
but he was describing to me how
difficult it was when he was dating
to find a woman who would agree to cover
her hair oh yeah
yeah so like the opposite side yeah yeah
and
my mother and my mother-in-law and and
all those women for the 50s and 60s
the rebber paid them
to wear a shaytal and to buy a shaytal
and a pretty shadow because the rubber
was of the
the rebel was the opinion you should
wear a shadow outside not a tickle that
was the red you know the kleisenberg the
satmir the belzer they disagree you know
but
but the the rabbit shooter was so and no
one was wearing shayta
i mean it was and these were from girls
you know and so the rabbit the rebels
told robert
club the secretariat give the money
and and not just for a cheap rag pay for
an eyeshadow
so these are examples yes this is
another example of
of doing something in in a culture when
it was it was uh a shock a shock to the
system
and the same is today this is in the 50s
and 60s and what you said and what
i said etc but even today in various
ways
you know uh a yi this is the whole thing
by the way it's interesting we're
learning this and basil agani the yard
side is shabbos
this is the whole theme of basilagani
there's two stigducer
now again we have to be very careful you
know the line between
is a very thin narrow line you know
you know it's a very thin narrow line
but but it's it's an accomplishment
to to go with the gducha sometimes
and that's the only way you break
through and later you look back you you
say if i had to do it again
i wouldn't do this way and even if i
tried doing it i would never
accomplish it and that's also true
because there is that moment
remember what we spoke about many times
ace watson
the auspicious time capture the moment
seize the moment and don't allow your
cycle to intervene because seijo is
going to cool it down
and be an impediment so just go for it
you don't have to tell anybody you know
sometimes your
people will laugh at you your own family
your own family
will laugh at you and not understand you
criticize don't tell them
don't tell them do what you feel is to
stigducha
and later on they will jump on the
bandwagon if they will
they won't it makes no difference you
know in your heart of hearts
that your action was to stick douchea
okay and and and it's not this is simply
said but it's a heart of leader
it's a very difficult thing to jump in
to to go beyond
you know like i say to the young people
with the shidduchim you got to jump in
and people don't want to jump in they
want to calculate
the the should have seen has become a a
calculated game
of of back and forth we've lost the
the jumping in art of the leap of faith
and that's why we have a whole problem
with tradition
yes you're saying there's no algorithm
for it
correct correct so i'm just
sure i spoke a little extra because to
to show
that is not something in the past
is today and tomorrow so
remember that you know i'm making a move
sometimes you don't know where to move
and you want to move
you have a sense that you know if i go
there my muscle will be better and
things would better but someone's could
you prove it
could you explain it no i can't but i
have a gut feeling
maybe that's an example of douchea you
don't have the rational
intellectual support to to to back that
move
but in your gut feeling you feel this is
again without hurting other people if
you do that and you
your wife and kids are going to be hurt
because of the education because of this
because that
then then it's not just
because you're not you're not you're
doing something
that's not just involves you involves
them
and you're hurting them so when i spoke
earlier about this
it's something about yourself without
hurting anyone else
okay enough said let's continue inside
and he says
something that is not based on natural
senses
of the eighth hadas good and bad and
it's also not
normal sanctity normally holiness
it doesn't enter at all accountability
al piatas
you make a calculation oh if i put this
much in
this is the amount i'm going to get out
of it he does
everything from a position yoni within
himself
that's transcendent
let's go fight okay
there's two types of levels and souls
there's much of what we call the
revealed soul powers
which which have two aspects intellect
and emotions
the second type of soul who eats him
it's the essence of the soul that
transcends logic
what type of neshama was revealed by
other
harishon and what type of the shrama was
be his gabrut was dominating by him
before they sinned shall he call the
universe to the point that all his
interest
was see searching and analyzing
godliness
that kanye from what we call the
intellect
of the godly soul by other mauritian
pre-hate the intellect of the godly son
was very powerful
there's also souls post sin
next
they didn't descend so low
as we say in english they never landed
and they never landed jonasin you look
at there was some eden and crown eyes
that we knew that you spoke to them they
barely answered you you looked at them
they never landed in america i say to my
father
you know on one hand he landed you know
he you know he built a family and a
business and all that but on the other
hand he's so
european canada is 83
he's one piece of romania as it stands
today
like from 1940s 30s and 40s
he never landed my you know my swear
also in a way you know i'm saying
so this is what he said that was saying
this as a milo
well let's say you grew up in chicago
you grew up you grew up there
it's like you know some of us live more
with the past
we are the past everything else is an
adjunct to who we are so we have to fit
it in into the puzzle
but who are we we're really the past
then there are those that
really are the present and then there
are those that are really of the future
so this is you know interesting to look
at you know
and and that and that should explain why
certain things er because this way
certain things make us happy
this way you know some have the love for
nostalgia
some have the love for you know um
antiques
some hate that they want a shoe to be
modern right
you know i love going into a school
that's the way it was a hundred years
ago
and some people don't care for that they
say it's disgusting
let's redo it you know different types
so the rabbit says here that other
mauritian
before the sin his entire
mind was a dominated by the
the sacral of the nephrologists by the
intellect of the godly soul and
therefore
what was his interest intellectualism
um
these souls that even after the hate
they never really landed
they always have an interest in godly
concepts
of zeko is contaminated and this is
their entire
asic involvement
the word shayochem again i emphasize
they're not
not only aren't they associated
practically
they're not able to be associated they
don't have the tools
because their dna is such that doesn't
relate
doesn't relate to other aspects
post post um sin
there are people that are cold-blooded
they don't care about a good steak
and they don't care about uh you know
all the other typhus it doesn't turn
them on at all
nothing nothing they're interested in
one thing
intellect thought right
you can't say that they are the way
other marijuana was pre-sin
because at the end of the day they're
living in a post-sin
situation
other marijuana sin
had no sense of senses you know that
wasn't at all
in the cards nevertheless
even but these people even though
they're living post sin
they don't have so much they don't have
such a great
admiration and appreciation for the
worldly
natural phenomenon
these type of people do not bend and
are not inclined to the nonsense of the
eight sahara
and they're in in their in their and the
convincing arguments
and they know and comprehend the truth
they know the score and they know when
when something's coming from
the bad side he hates the horror side
and they they can smell
very well the situation
hashem from creation may gave man a
godly feeling
from this perspective man should know
that the good the best thing for him
and that the convincing of the eights
lies and evil
um
the natural phenomena comes because of
allowing men to listen to the
foolishness argue and convincingly
sahara
shalom with us that's below
logic that's worse than logic it makes
no sense at the end of the day because
it's harmful to you as a jew
uh so there ever says that the idea of
dusha the silliness of holiness within
holiness
is transcendence la my limit does
one minute one minute hey lucia enough
they are those that even in today's
situation
post the light of the godly soul
dominates in them and therefore they
don't gravitate towards him
yes johnson let me explain
to tell you that idea keep the slippery
like
a shell so when you go to shelf
protecting the egg
the shell is completely compared to the
bad thing
and the egg inside the conventional good
thing
so i got my issue before the city would
look up and see the shell
mix with the egg was separated
it was more like an intellectual
experience you didn't know what it meant
when he took the the egg when he went
and the shell and the egg became mixed
together very well said correct
that's brought
and it's very important there's what we
call
urav tovara the mixture
of bad and good to the point is itaka
don't know are there shells in this egg
or not so you're at the kidney shop as
an aged coder short the karol bakshi
lord khabad wherever you're diving
and you have some ex salads
it's a challenge right
that's that's just a wake
the world we live in remember
there's a mixture here be very careful
let's continue guys 379. my methods
so these people who still have
they have a remnant of the godly soul
that shines in them and is revealed
the yes lambdas vasabilicus and they
have comprehension of godliness for he
can shame bali aveda
and the main thing is that they work on
themselves they're always searching
it's not that they're just intellectuals
and godliness and the shambali avoided
the previous
making a point they work it's not just a
flute and tooting you know exercise at
harvard or colombia or cambridge
no these are person people who take this
godly information
and they use it and avoid this hashem i
should make called
what does that mean that ever says i
should be called over our saga from
every intellectual thought
yes
this is my ship brawn in action they
take it
and they want to do something with it
not just to learn
ideas and it's very exciting and it
means nothing
garnished they want they they they make
of it to alice
by avoiding a boy we're learning deep
seed is great
now tell me how do we take this deep see
this
in my studio in my in my kitchen
at the baseball game on the streets
fahrenheim is god and they
and they work on this to a point with a
godly feeling
dominates al-hidhivi over the natural
feeling
the lies who will vaccinate you
they come up with creative innovations
about man skipped the parenthesis but
miles min anushi
the virtue of man over tacos by the
australian white was created
so he he one day he's walking down on on
the
on the street and what and all of a
sudden he says wow now i understand
why god created my neighbor i thought he
was a a waste to society but now i got
it
now i got it and sometimes we say that
about ourselves
why am i here oh now i understand
the talmud
says that but you know why you get it
not because he's such a bright intellect
it's because you're working you on
yourself you're taking the information
and you're toiling with it and you're
using it
and when you do that you come up with
a result you hear that so when you learn
to see this and you learn deep ideas
if you take that and you think about as
the day goes on
and you think about it more and more
it's going to leave
a practical result somehow on us
and that rabbit says um
[Music]
and and it becomes more and more refined
from time to time left higher and higher
because
that all of a sudden your
form it overpowers the material
what you like before the gospels and the
typhus and this and that whatever it is
as you learn more and as you think more
and as you
all of a sudden it's like
you know you know people asking i was a
big sports fan you know when i was a kid
you know growing up like yoni you know
what i'm saying
and then when i got into yeshiva and i
started to learn and understand water
learning
i didn't it just it you know it just
fell away not
you know i still like to like like to
see a good game you know i'm not
but but but what i'm saying is the the
the the cuck
the passion you know i have to know
every score and i have to know every
player
and and all that you know what i'm
saying it's you know if i'm tired of
laying a bed and want to fall asleep
sometimes
you know and you know so sometimes i'll
i'll look at something you know i'm
saying a a recap of the game or
something
again and and people will say that's you
know why aren't you looking at
reading a book a safer i'm not i'm not
excusing myself i'm just saying i'm just
saying
that the more you use
seiko the more these types of things
become less important
and that's that's that's but you have to
balaya
look you have to work
with the intellect not that the
intellect should just
be an intellectual ink exercise and this
is one of the reasons why
quite the lots of people who are very
bright
very smart but you say look at their
character
what happened over here the answer is
because they're not working enough with
the seiko
their seiko is just remaining in the
world of segal
but they're not they're not they're not
using the cycle to
to to improve their meters and their
meters are not impacting their cycle and
and therefore we can have a situation
one more
paragraph and we'll stop it
you know
[Music]
light of his soul doesn't illuminate him
so much
said and he does allow himself to
convince by the eights and
[Music]
you have to say stop i don't want to
hear from you
why because there's a second aspect of
myself
i have a soul that transcends all the
stuff
now you want to come and challenge me
intellectually
you want to engage in dialogue with me
i'm not going that
that that there i'm not going there
whether because i'm not ready to go
there or i don't want to go there that's
what that
says someone who who is dumb
who is controlled and dominated by the
sacral of the nephew silly kids
has the wherewithal to argue back
and to win right but someone who doesn't
and believe me most people don't because
they're not trained that way
don't engage it don't engage in that
type of um
dialogue don't engage in the type of
dialogue
because you're going to lose because the
yates are horrible without
outsmart you just a little taste
what's so bad just a little taivor just
a little you know what i'm saying
i'll have a continue tomorrow more
speaking about this
everyone have a great day zai gazunt
that's
bye
