a 277 in the mime cover of
it
towards the beginning of chapter four
ice ballad
the second line on the page 277 in the
middle of the night
this third soul
which is called the human intellectual
soul
being that its primary mode is intellect
hagam should say
although as we explained at length
yesterday
that it's seijo is a natural stakeholder
it's a hole
is closer is this the seijo
the circle of the nephew
shares commonality with the with the
nephesha bombings in that they both are
creation
versus creator and for that please
listen to yesterday's year
um however
yes
general intellect in general has a
tendency leo
means it has a tendency
to be drawn with martial
menu to what is above it what is greater
than it
it's going upwards say cycles trying to
understand something it doesn't know yet
so the position of the of the being
in the motive cycle is a
an upward one
that itself
gives the nephesha circles the ability
to be a vessel
to receive to receive somewhat
of the intellect and the emotions of the
nephew shalikis
by the mere fact
that it's
seijo and the seiko that's noah the
notion of cycle is
to be
to to to lean upwards to look at
something that's greater than itself
that itself makes it a vessel
to receive
somewhat of the intellect and the
middles
of the nephilis and remember what we
learned in the footnote
from the
essence of hasidis that with in each of
the souls there's a subset of two
second second so there's a total of six
within three souls within the three
derives
scholars who actually went 277 for five
lines for the top
five scott in the middle of the page
[Applause]
and this concept and this idea
that the nephesh
it explains it very well to the
nepheshobamines that's its function
so
again the function of nephew
but because the the the the ingredients
of seiko is what's the ingredients of
seiko the greens the cycle is
to go beyond to look something greater
than itself so it's open enough and it
says that every uses the word it's a
kali it's a vessel
to
hear
the seiko and middles of the nephili
kiss
and then to filter it through its own
intellectual
dry intellectual approach so that the
nefesh abbam
is very precise
this itself makes the nephesh obama's
niskarev
become closer
to the overall idea of seiko
so what do you see moshe for the
language here that without the nephesh
the nephesh obama's issue is far
from seiju
what makes the
nepheshabami's be miscarried be close
feel it has a relationship
is only through the sacral of the
nephesha cyclist
and it continues
so what does the measure of sickness do
it refines
to comprehend the godly thought
in other words what the netherlands does
is it takes this information
that it get got from the definition of
the case both from the sacral
nephrogenous kids and even the middles
of the nephilic is
and it filters it through its mind
so it explains it
in a way
that makes sense to the nephesh obama's
um
from time to time
and guess what
that's when the nephesh
has its aliyah
until the nephew sequence
accomplishes successfully
to get the nefesh obamas to start
listening
it's not it doesn't have an alia
why
because the fact that it
is able to hear what the nether shelley
kiss wants is not a big
you don't get credit for it this is what
you are you're a bow seiko
you're an intellect
so an intellect
is interested in studying there are
priests and galachim and
not today it used to be that lord kimura
seiku is open to everybody
this is yeshiva there's a yeshiva in in
in the in tel aviv
a secular yeshiva that they learned
tomorrow from the morning tonight
secular not no no religious debt okay so
that that supports this idea that seiju
has the element
of
of of hearing something
something godly something it but it's
it's intellect
it doesn't get any credit for it
that's what say hell is when does it get
credit
when it impacts the nepheshobami's
and is able to get a behavior
to understand
to start thinking differently oh
that's what it has in aliyah
that's when you get the real aliyah
yes yes
okay so i'm i'm i'm so happy that the
rebels talking about this because i
struggled with this for a very very long
time
maybe because of my upright upbringing
but and and i'm you know i'm going to
say it the way it is without any you
know
there's a lot a lot of hazaris
in the firm world i mean
i'm talking about caesars at a kiddush
and it's khazeros in pushing and shoving
to get onto a bus and there's a lot of
hazaris in the most from you know food
stamps rent control unemployment and
medicaid people the most the most
hazardous more than any other people
right so why all the learning torah and
the gemara and the mishnah and
everything why isn't this translating
into refinement of character why are you
sitting and learning and i believe it's
lishma i don't think they're not
learning lishma i believe they do think
lushma but why isn't it why isn't what
the rebels saying
is not being implemented because it only
it only reaches their sale it doesn't
reach their middles
he doesn't see he doesn't say here
reaches the middles of the nephilim
it reaches the most
it usually reaches is the cycle of the
nephesh obama's
that and that's that's exactly saying
that you can learn the shema but if you
don't change if it doesn't reach your
character
it's two separate worlds
it's like you're yoily and yankee and
rocky in the in in in the basement and
in williamsburg and in doula and
whatever
and then when you come to manhattan
you're john your jack and your chill
they have a certain sheet to like
religiosity is is is made for the shul
and and and when it comes to what they
call the the non-jews you could
separate but but but i don't want to re
it's wrong it's wrong to
to say we're all we're all we're all
that way
so you're saying that we're not all
cheating i understand we're not all
cheating but nevertheless the middles
until the meters change
you're not going to see a change in
those issues that you just spoke about
and and it's not just
you know
it's not just in in the illustrations
and examples you gave which are blatant
it's in it's in other areas too i mean
it's in other areas it's just all has to
do with the meters
and and the hardest thing to do is to
impact the meters but i don't want to go
on this tangent now because we got to
learn the myma yes motion but okay but
yoni okay reverend joney's question my
and and
i'm going to interject my question would
be
why why isn't it
affecting
the medos i understand what you said
it's not a fed the middles aren't being
affected it's remains of the sacral so i
understand that but why isn't it
why i wonder why why because because
then
we're not taking the time
of
of allowing the the single to impact the
middles it's a work it's a job it's an
activity it takes time no
so i know so but again here's the
question
like yoni said you can have
tens and tens of thousands of yeah good
you know
they're learning i see this every day
right i see this every day people are
learning and they're learning enough you
owe me great but when it comes to
elements of refinement of character of
real
like
like like what yoni's speaking about
so i want to know why okay let's hear
what judas says maybe he hasn't answered
yeah because they're not doing it
see he's the husted
and he's right and what he said but i i
i said it before without using his words
no it's not just a shake of the head
it's not just the shake of the head
you know my wife always told me you know
over the years that her grandfather in
his youth had a uh kind of a very strict
you know anger oriented you know
discipline approach and over the years
he mellowed out and trust me he was a
very very special jew who worked but he
worked on himself
as alabama hussein
you know and to change a character trait
from being you know angry and upset and
rigid
to being mellow and
it takes a lot of work hello i'd like to
hear what you have to say because this
is a field that you touch
i think you would probably deal with
this no
yes um
so
the thing that uh
came to my mind from a psychological
point of view as we're talking about
this
is one of the great uh kind of moral
questions
in in the study of
psychology and medicine in the 20th
century
was kind of the
question about how nazi doctors
yumakshimam could could you know could
engage in the most uh
cruel and inhumane of experiments and
then go home and you know uh
listen to
you know to bach and play with their
children
so one of the great
psychologists of the 20th century was a
man named robert lipton
i don't know if he's still living but he
um he studied a lot of these things and
and wrote a beautiful uh beautifully
insightful book on the nazi doctors and
he talked about this psychological
phenomena they called doubling
that uh it's like in a certain sense
people compartmentalize
one part of their mind
from another
and so we're talking about this uh uh i
think that when you said
people who uh
so who uh who uh holiness is for sure
holiness is for the base med rish but
but when it's when it comes to the bus
the bus stop or uh
where it comes to uh you know food or
the kiddish it's every man for himself i
think it's a similar kind of phenomena
it's like
it's like well the time for one one
thing does not extend into the other
and i think in casitas is this idea that
the whole purpose of what we're doing is
to draw it down into our into our
meadows into our emotional selves into
the into the deeper realms of our own uh
unconscious processes right i i i want
to also add one more point as you're
talking i'm thinking and also to what
jamie said
i'm convinced that
most of the people you're identifying
you'll need don't think there's anything
wrong to do what they do
absolutely you know
no in other words
and this animation intellectually mice
is asking you're asking why doesn't the
cycle impact the vetoes the answer is
because they think say i'll be saying is
correct why
either because as i said before because
what hillary called doubling you know
the compartmentalizing or
because they think
that since they are torah jews educated
jews etc they
are doing they're the only one doing
god's will no one else is doing god's
will
and therefore
they have to
show the world and and and
to know god's world even if it means um
you know i don't know pushing onto a bus
uh or or you know i'll give you an
example
i i flew back you know the last week
from miami
so there's an older couple sitting next
to me from
the husband was on the aisle
the woman was in the middle with a
shadow and kaian dolphin was at the
window that's usually my seat
so
as i walk on i said
you know
technically two a woman shouldn't be
sitting between two men
are they going to you know reverse seats
i didn't say a word
because in khabad la labage
this wasn't our training to go and
you know make a big deal about it and
humiliate and even though it's a it's
like almost
but it's
and they didn't and they were more like
young on the young israel scale from
very from but you know for whatever
reason they didn't and it was fine
although when i was speaking to the
husband the woman was sitting like be
like you know
allow me to speak to him and him to me
he was doing more talking to me than me
to him but
what's the nakuda
uh i think you you all know from the
airplanes sometimes very you know strong
charade them and all that they make a
whole scene
and make a whole scene
rabbi vosner of nebraska made a ruling
you could damage my nestor now i think
he said you should
damage monsters sitting in your chair
which for me is very hard to accept in a
way like how can i many many raven have
said that many are up on them okay
although you know usually i try to get
up on that opinion but i'm just saying
the point is how many people listen
you know maybe it's becoming a little
more so the answer one second answer i i
think i think i think that there's
another element here to all of this and
that is
that
they convinced themselves intellectually
that they are
right and that's why they don't change
the meanest
so you mentioned you know the government
and the food stamps and this and that
that the answer is
we need to
like we want to learn together we want
to raise our children in the fader you
know so so we're gonna use the
government to help us because
you know
the government gets free schooling and
public schools they don't give it to us
we need to you know and that's not
really right because we are we the whole
world was created for jews and within
jews with the charade them so therefore
if they're not going to be agreeable
we're going to force them into it anyway
history what you want to say
i was just going to say that i listened
because my review told me
davka there's no mitzva to get up on a
plane
and david traveling by yourself it
creates all kinds of problems and you
sit in your seat you dive in your seat
okay so
that's
i got a direct direct answer
okay
all i'm saying is i was
answering you know
the question
so i think i think my it's all of
these things
what hilo said what i said what johannes
said i i think it's all
they're different people but
unfortunately you're right what's left
and the impression is the way you stated
it you know which is it's it's a big
shame it's a big shame
and and and if you're a dolphin yes
which take away using are they using the
sacred from the nephites habanes or
seiko ceclis
there's people who aren't behaving
properly
oh doesn't seem like they're saying
they're using the same they're using the
same they're using the seiko they say of
the nebraska bombings
why
because
you know to justify ripping off the
government or pushing people aside or
grabbing the food and you know and all
of that is a bahamas it's an animalistic
behavior and when
you justify it it's the same
yeah
we're just on that same question
and then maybe and actually i've been
wanting to ask this question for days
but i finally
just realized what my question is
where it seems like there's a very fine
line
between
the seiko of the nephesh bahamas
and the nephesh of city yes yes
yes is
there is a fine line
and and and and and the fine line is
that the circle of nephews obama is as
as abraham said a moment ago
is justifying the behavior
it's justifying the behavior of of
animalism of of being the behavior
so so where does the
the then that being said where is the
nephesh
is saying
hey
you're wrong and i'll prove to you why
you're wrong and why you should behave
differently
so
and and and and then what would what
would the sit what would the
of the never shallow keys
what would they say
is that
it's all god it's all about god
there's only god
there's no humanity there's no humanity
it's all on the go on the godly side
remember the words i used yesterday it's
creator
when when you're in the realm of creator
it's a different it's it's not our
experience it's creator
that they are already both creation
the difference is
is is because it's more like more pure
creation it's able to
give us this expression how to cope
which in english
doesn't really rely means to hold your
head it means how do you how would you
say it in english keep the score
you know hey
be level headed
keep your head straight keep your head
straight yes
hot and cup so the nephesha cichlids
is strong in health and cup
the nefer shabbat the sake of the nephew
obama's is not strong and safe because
it's really a slave to the middles of
the nephilims
it's it's it's finding justification
for the desires
and
of the nephesh bombings
but but when so that's why avraham when
you're saying asking is it
the behavior that we're talking about is
that the circle of nephew sickly sort of
never mind the answer is nothing's not
bombings
now
what hilo mentioned earlier there you
could say
maybe you know it's again and this is
why i say to you my sir to your
question it's a very thin line you're
right very good that you it it is a very
thin line in other words the
justification of the nazis maximum to do
what they did is that the seiko of the
nephilim
or was that is that even this their
cycle of nephew
is their sacrifice and you could argue
that that's the circle of their nephew
sickles
because it they they're good people
the german race oh we are sophisticated
and how you murder and kill no no
because this is a disease we can't have
diseases here and i'm sure we have some
of these argumentation now with the
covet what they would do with the shots
with everything people
argued the same idea in a different way
and it's open for argumentation
so that that that to me sounds like a
more of a refined type of seiko
which again at the end of the day
brought about a disaster murder killing
so it's also wrong because what happens
there you have to ask yourself
where will where will this pure say holy
to
and if the answer is at least of death
and destruction and killing then it's
bad
then what's happened is that it's been
schlepped into a place of no goodness
let's continue inside
and he says
oh the hand value of them
so we have two things one is
the the nephesh
gets an aliyah when it makes an impact
on the nephesh bahamas
and number two
it causes the nefertari kiss to become
what we call a walker
instead of those boots are made for
walking though that soul is made for
walking
the high end dolphin version of the
frank sinatra song is now been
introduced at the sheer in 2022
the soul is made for walking
that's what it says here
that the soul of nephew keys becomes a
mahalay
it becomes a walker
until then it's been stagnant and here
you have to ask you have a question
he said what does it mean that it's been
stagnant
because the necessarily kiss as holy as
it is
but doing its job that it's supposed to
do big deal
so it's aiming it's like it's standing
in one place
but when the nephilim
is makes an impact on the nephi bami's
then the nefer shirley kiss who goes
along for the ride now leaves its
standing position and it starts walking
yes yes yes
between them
and then the camera
right here
they are
[Music]
and the aliyah that the nefeshial
cyclist attains from this activity
nasa who aliyah shall never kiss the the
official kiss also gets an aliyah and
until then
it's never surely kiss it is creator
but guess what it's slim it's stagnant
saying and he uses the famous words
that the descent is for the purpose of
the ascent
this aliyah is attained
[Applause]
here he introduces a concept in kabbalah
but in the in the in the way khabad
explains it
how can it be that the nefesh abbami's
gets this big aliyah
when it's so outwardly grope and course
and the answer is because in its source
the shairish
the nepheshabamis comes from the world
of void which is known as tohu
which precedes
to the world of normalcy of correction
and he explains
just as the world was created
darkness and light are what we call the
world of void of tayu and the world of
thicken of correctness
chaos that which is darkness
viticulin and normality and correct and
correctness who are in its light
the closest i have is being tory over
ticking or the difference the general
there will be the two
experiences who
tell you
in the world of chaos and tell you you
have an abundance of light and
few vessels
a great mind
but you know doesn't know how to dress
himself
as we discussed the other day
over tickling and ticklish just the
opposite who miata are
there is a minimal amount of light
velvel viribuya kaelin
and there but there's an abundant of
caleb
in other words
the difference between someone super
smart but when it comes to practical
stuff in the world he's a failure
and then there's someone who's so great
in the world when it comes to to to some
seijo the person is a big fool
okay just a practical example of toyo
and ticket it's one example
and within each you could find such
examples
to tell you the concept of an abundance
of light
of the world of void umea to oil and
minimal light in the world of ticking
aims ash
it's not to be understood that it's
exactly the identical light that we're
talking about in each raksha battalion
or
only that
this identical light energy is an
abundance in toyota and minimalisticum
it says that it's not that way
the energy the light in the world
is is completely different in each of
its space
the items that tell you the energy the
lights of void of toyo hoyo itis nylon
they were very sophisticated elevated
energies
which had no
association and comparison
um
is the ticket to the energies of the
world of ticket in other words there's a
qualitative difference
not only a quantitative difference
this will be understood by citing
another example
take for example the difference
between the light that was created on
the first day the other malicious
it says that added the first man
he looked mobbed boy sir he saw he
looked from one end of the world to the
other end of the two worlds the al
madisya from what's called the world of
concealment to the world realm it is
to the light of the sun the akshaya that
we have now so
you can bear you can see a mile or more
but you can't tell me now you can see
with the light of the sun outside from
one end of the world to the other end
the top
in other words
that ember is using this muscle to say
the quality of the light that was
existent on the first day of creation
was a different quality and it was such
a quality that other mauritian was able
to see from one end of the world to the
other end whereas today the light of the
era chambers we can see a little bit but
maya whatever but not more
so just as there's a difference in that
quality so there's a difference between
the energy the light of time
and the light of ticket
should say oh they are very so so the
question is
oh
the tacos
the ultimate purpose is
became the ticket
what's our job is there
our job is available to bring in
the light of toy you that quality
into the the ma the klim of tickets
and this is this is very important
they're very practical
in other words
we don't we don't want to say moisture
oh you know this guy is a genius this
guy is a super smart this guy is a super
but but he's not normal
the not normal part is the caleb
the super part is the r
take the r
and use the r let's use the word use
that passion
that drive
to impact
the normal vessel so the the vessel
which is which is limited
you know
um organized and have it be entirely
permeated with a passion the example
comes to mind the mithlerebba they say
when he darvened he was like still and i
just heard it the other day for someone
who said he saw the rabbit daven and he
saw a burning fire even though the rebel
was barely shuckling and barely moving
his hand which you all know we've
discussed this it's one of the
differences between the chabad style of
davening and many other hasidim right it
goes back to the the alternate
alternate was more
you know more passionate outwardly but
also not in a in a hagas way than like
the other hasidis
it was it was all in more and of a
intellectual way but it became so
intellectually inspired that his body
started couldn't contain the energy
what we're saying is that the
inspiration can be should be such a
quality that the the body is able to
contain it and yet be
you touch it it's fire it's called it
it's on fire
so that's what it means to tell you and
caleb
that ever told this in 1983 to robert he
was 70 million dollars a death of
los angeles and the rabbit gave him a
broker and and he spoke about it at the
fabrega with gimbal tissue i believe and
there ever said
that the concept of it is to tell you is
not something that
uh that cabal citizen trader wants
it's totally you know
doing things that have no no vessels is
not where we're at
in other words the counter culture
culture hippie age
is not the ultimate but nevertheless
that passion we do want
what we want is take the passion of the
60s and bring it into the
vessels of the 90s
you understand
to go and say that the the passion
the application of the passion was was
misguided and misused
but the passion itself is great
how if i would have this passion today
you know i i talked to people the bali
truth becomes yeshivas are
all many of them are closed
shah yoshi was a famous about yeshiva in
far rockaway i know some of the people
in in in bet chemistry and mata chemist
went there
so the other day i was speaking to to
someone who was very close to rabbi
freifeld
and any and and he said you know it's no
longer about true yeshiva you know
that energy it's like it's gone
that's a good yeshiva and it does good
things and but
you understand
so what we're looking for is
to take that energy and by the way this
could has to be explained to our
children and grandchildren because one
of the things they and we have to finish
up another share but they they all they
you say
you weren't religious when you were when
you were a teenager or a college student
what do you want from me
there there's many ways of explaining
this issue and and more than explaining
it living it
but one of the things is
you you today you're living in a world
of ticket
so my behavior
in the 60s and 70s was because the world
was a world of chaos a world of toyo
so on that time the toyo mode worked
today to be toyo dick in in a world that
doesn't relate to it
it's it's crazy it's going to ruin you
it's going to hurt you
yes
so this may get us into tomorrow's cheer
because i i know you have to go but just
a very quick the kuda and then maybe
tomorrow you can give the answer
there's a serious problem here ramaphe
chamesh
with the youth especially kids coming
from balichula families
and the parents
decided within the last 10 years to
become a balcheva
and the children
some they do some they don't some want
to some they don't not interested
or if they grow up that way they're that
way but once they turn a certain age 15
16 whatever that age is
they say the same way you ate
cheeseburgers give me the experience as
well you could make that choice for
yourself
you have no right to make that choice
for me i want to make my own decision
so this is an akuda that you brought up
now yeah yeah yeah let's uh
tomorrow i'm just saying it's not blamer
we'll have a chance to say something
about luck weimer
and uh please do join us um i know mike
some of you might be out in the field
but uh if you can would be great and uh
we'll we'll continue but uh
it's it's this issue of toyo and tikken
is a very important you know
it's a taiwan thinking yeah you're you
know you're on a couple you're learning
kabbalah but if you break it down and
casitas breaks it down it is so
important
it is so important for us
and i do think that it could help uh the
youth
um
uh
you know the issue you said it's not
just the romantic champions it's right
here in brooklyn
it's the best of families all over
everyone all over all over everyone
everyone is is experiencing this and
it's it's something that you should be
spoken about and it's something that
people should really yeah you know
what is the answer to that question
today not 10 years ago what is it how do
we explain that in a way that you know
the child this teenager um the gra or of
your grandfather you know
how to to answer that in a way and
explain it
that
makes sense so that they could remember
now
don't jump for the gold you want to stop
putting on film right now keeping kosher
not meeting girls and all that and going
to bars
just begin with a cycle
get them to to think whether it's
through reading a book whether it's
through dialogue at a shabbos table
whether it's going to a lecture and
arguing with the lecturer but you know
in an intellectual way
okay you want to debate it let's debate
it unless you can outsmart each other
and say ho
you know what i'm saying there are many
recipes
but but but it it it needs to be
discussed and and and and the bottom
line is
the bottom line is the love
i'm telling you at the end of the day
the good hug and the good kiss and the
good
the brotherhood and sister and
it works you see it in
day in day out every day all over i look
you know on the on the web and
mamish mamish
people who are and and not just
at the story i told you wallerstein and
what he did was the same thing
just in embracing the kids embracing the
kids but yes it's something that we
should we should we should think about
more everyone have a great day see
everyone tomorrow zakism bye bye
