brief
briefly the rapper's questions were why
does davadam mother say
uh what seems to be a contradiction
first he says all that call to god will
be answered and then he says only those
that call to god with truth
that was one question and number two
why does it say karma of hashem
could it could have easily have said
karavasham
with coyote with the laminate without
the word luck
those were two questions in the
beginning
and from there he went to on to explain
the whole idea of of um
that there is ms that the mother says ms
zhu
tera because david miller says call
hashem with emmaus we have to understand
what emma says
so he brings the ghazal that emma's from
there
from there he explains begins starts
explaining
it says
what's the word why the word da what is
da referred to
and uh he says it refers to das
and there is so he explains what a
little about das is
he calls it there's there's three three
hello there three like chambers in the
brain
one is the chamber for one of the
chamber for bina for
creativity development of idea analysis
is number two bina
and dasa's focus and concentration the
third hollow
and here it says so particularly through
das which we discussed yesterday it's
associated with discussions
connecting yourself and binding yourself
to an idea
within the mind until it becomes part of
you
and from there he proceeded to explain
that
um we see that
it says in every generation that one has
to leave with him so there is
x there is the goggles mitzrayim the
exile and there's the exodus
and the goddess mitzrayim what's the
goddess the goddess
is that we were made to work
hard labor that had no significance and
that ever spent a lot of time
developing a beautiful idea that's not
usually discussed in hasidis
or for that matter almost anywhere i
didn't see it really discussed anywhere
and that is that the the egyptians the
the the root of their evil
the viciousness consisted of making us
work for no other purpose than just to
break us
and and and deb explained that a person
gets pleasure from his
own work right um
the even though
even though other people can make the
same type of vessels or caleb and
but nevertheless a person will choose
and prefer
their own work over someone else's not
even nicer work
because they did it they themselves made
it
yes hello he uses the word here
in the paragraph we did yesterday
about 10 lines up he uses the word yes
the fraschus koa yeah i feel this is the
first word on the line
i'm just wondering if there's like a
kabbalistic reference here as well or
implication no no
has several meaning one is separation
separation so in kabbalah it's the
level of godliness that's kind of the
first separation
from the godhead from the end self
compared to bria you'd see there and
asea the three lower worlds it still
ain't self but if you compare at silos
to higher
it's considered already a separation
and there's another meaning of achilles
was
from the word eslo near
in the basiligani the previous rapper
reconciles the two on one hand you say
it's
near god on the other hand you say it's
separated from god
he talks about that idea but we're not
going to go into that now
um but here i i believe that you know he
means preposterous
um it's it's the separation
of one's kayak that is in invested
in the vessel okay i i just was
wondering if there was a kind of
indirect implication that that
particular c book that comes from
complete from creating something has a
bethina vazilus like a quality of the
endowed by the creator yeah just a
little board yeah yeah yeah yeah no it's
it's uh it's
good thinking good thinking but i i with
that i i can't
you know without a source i can't i
can't say it but it's interesting
it's interesting yeah it's a stretch but
it's
an interesting it's definitely a good
word for a sermon
to get the congregation to stay awake
during the sermon
okay let's go we're on page 210
good morning guys
just as there is the concept of x
exile and exodus in the physical
material sense as we experience the
inaccuracies
portals
whether he's righteous or wicked yes
he a jew has two souls two drives
deceived as it says on the shomos
not only plural and
souls with an s at the end on the assisi
these are two souls
and now he uses he changes yaakov the
language this is from tanya
from the the most
the nephesh represents
activity neshama represents
the spiritual drive that
generates the activity so the alternate
before
the altitude says in the name of of rap
high and vital
every one of us has two neshomers two
drives
these drives do something
that's why he switches from the language
of the
sharmas to in their flushes because
nephesh implies
activity and he says
yes just before you i want to ask you
something about to say for sure
um yes uh is is that safer
it's not considered part of the kiss
fairy
no no
i believe he wrote it as a talmud of the
ari
okay but it's not but it's separate uh
i just uh i'm i'm not sure i i have to
check i
i i don't think that's i think yaakov do
you know shadow kadusa is a separate
safer or it's part of the kiss realities
out
i am my impressionism it's a separate
safer yeah that's my impression too and
i don't know
no because there is a safer shot at
kedusha
so maybe that's what i'm thinking of
that that's part of cleveland
celebration so maybe you shot a
condition
let let's check let's check i'll it's
it's a google check you'll know right
away
won that fish comes
from the perspective of negativity of
the husk the shell
and the other side the nephew zoo the
alternative says and this
nephesh he am islamist
it invests itself in in the blood of
man and man's blood lively
lively the livelihood of man the
liveness of man
to give highest to the gulf to exist
okay and he brings deposit
for the soul of the flesh but he is in
the blood
but never
the soul associated to the flesh
in other words a soul
yani is luchnius
but since this nefish is is is what
makes
the buster live we attribute
this nephesh to buster and we call it
nephesh
busser
that's what he says in the next line
look she is located
this nephesh has a closeness and
association to the flesh
and to all matters of gosh nice
associated with the flesh
velozoi see the benefits of the clipper
in this nephesh that comes from the
perspective of clipper
he named a man of boys
now i want you i want you to realize
that the the
the the rebbe here in the way he is
citing the tanya
cites it with a few extra words that
gives us really a deeper understanding
of what the altered says
before the nephesh create before we talk
about
the result of this nephesh which is
the midis royce the bed
middles from the four elements
fire water dust etc and wind
the very fact that the nephesh enlivens
the goof
and the goof has a feeling i exist
independent of god
that itself is the beginning
of the downfall
the midas roys that come yakov
are a histyphus a manifestation
of the clipper mindset you hear that
and it's because there's a clipper
mindset which is nefesh apostrophe
here and therefore i
too am something
[Music]
that leads to me destroys if you were
if you didn't have the mindset the
ideology of the nephi's abuser
you would never get to meet this royce
and this is a very very uh paramount
insight
into chabad hasidis and what the altar
says and that's why he puts in the first
chapter in tanya
because it's a fundamental teaching in
in in other swarm and even in the
muslims foreign and
and pierce office in gaza basically we
deal
primarily primarily with the medicine
and the birudim and refinement of
getting rid of them and all of that
we don't really tackle and deal
with the cause you know one of the the
famous
quotations
and that obey and we don't see them
making a
campaign i'm not even talking about the
last rebel all that i believe about
russian horror you won't find much
if any very little language in habakkuk
is about russian horror and uh
you know the huffits hayam wrote a whole
safer
and today it's been become very popular
and because they were asked about this
years years ago not you know 100 years
ago
and they said that the shemitah saluting
concept
pre-kafitzkain the whole idea is
associated with a poll
with with a bad behavior with a
forbidden behavior with a gossip
he says the altered deals with the marsh
and dalton is not it is not by
tanya see this is not is that a safer of
muslim this is
i've said this many times but i can't
say it enough times
tanya is not a muslim safer it's a
hasidah safer
both are needed they both are holy but
it's a different mahalak what's the
mahalik
and that's why in khabad ideology it's
all about the
the so see them would say if you if you
if you change your makshava you won't
speak russian horror
i think i told you i was lecturing in
los angeles years ago on pico boulevard
i was giving these lectures of
self-improvement i wrote my first book
your better self
and uh it came from those classes and we
had about 50 60
of people attending and it was a you
know it was
good energy and and understand and
intelligent people it was it was a good
class a good lecture
good recipients anyway
so a lady who became a friend of our
families
you know she said you know every time i
speak to my friend
we gossip about him and about her and
about him
and she said i'm sick and tired of it
and i just want to stop talking to her
so i remember i said there that's one
approach
and you definitely shouldn't be
gossiping about other people
another approach is to take your mind
and put it into more sophisticated
and uh qualitative
ideas so you won't even have an urge to
gossip
you know i i i i don't mean to you know
i see it in my own
like it was 4th of july i had frankly i
had
[Music]
it didn't make a difference to me i'm
just saying i could have gone out
and then see the fireworks and i could
have gone out and
i'm so involved in writing and
researching that
it's not even it's not even important
it's not important to me
whatever i'm just telling you a personal
thing in other words
when a person and the same is when a
person is immersed in something and it's
rules the person and that's why
let me let me say another point that's
why this
talks a lot about the if the
messed up it's very damaging
both philosophically and uh
practically and dr evans chapter 11 of
tanya
brings the ghazal hire
thoughts of an evader are worse than the
actual vader
why because the actual vedas
you could stop it's i did this that's
wrong
i won't do it tomorrow but thoughts are
so hard to change
that that in the kuda is what i'm
getting at
so that's why it's of course washing her
and gossip is important
but that's a playa stop talking russian
horrors gandy
so of course don't talk if you could you
could say i won't talk to my friend as
much instead of talking every day or
every week i'll
i'll do it once a month and therefore
we'll we'll cut down by
seventy-five percent the amount of time
we speak in latin era that's
and that's a poemish but the urge is
still there
but if you ins you change your makshava
and your mashup
is now involved in much more
sophisticated
spiritual traitor you don't have an
interest in speaking
gossip yes you're innocent you're
innocent
all right guys that the woman was
the higher level how they could
because because i'm not interested in
talking gossiping about people i want to
talk about
uh face the philosophy of the piston
motor versus the rotary motor i just
happen to be writing about it that's why
you know i want to talk about something
more elevated sophisticated i want to
talk about god i want to talk about
creation
i want to talk about you know
philosophical ideas i want to talk about
uh hessed ideas
so of course no no what i'm saying is it
doesn't mean you're going to change the
other person
but she who wants to stop the
conversation
you know i'm not interested in talking
about it so if we don't have anything to
talk about
have a good day what can i tell you and
frankly
sometimes sometimes friendships uh
stop because of this but that's the way
it is i mean
you know we we we have free will
and and and an intelligent person
gossiping about people is is ridiculous
it's it
and and that whole it's it's like excuse
the expression it's dirty it's it's
it's ugly it's it's a muddy it's
talk about yourself when you're talking
about other people and you know
and and from time to time we go into
that mode but you got to go right out
you got to you know you make that left
turn and make that right turn right to
the right
so what i'm saying is that if you change
your max over
it makes a change and this is what the
alternator is saying in peter calif and
that's why i'm spending some time with
it
nephesh the clipper is
bedama autumn and it and it's the first
uh it's the first flash of i exist
i am an i and i have what to say
and i dominate and therefore
what follows is the the downfall
so the outer epis but don't ever breaks
it up
first for he he will this is why i want
you later to relook into tanya
you know you know in your tanya where
you're comfortable you know you know the
tourism
the page layout that makes you
comfortable so
you look at it you'll see the here
bush's but
and then he says with a killing
and from it derives that's already a
second
thought umi
if it was the same thing you shouldn't
say when men are boys
dr episode and it is
what do we see that the first thing is
the foundation
which
the mindset the attitude oh
once you have this attitude um
let's continue inside
and he says
he you see here the rabbit makes it very
clear these words are not in tanya
for those he named a nephew the clipper
but the previous does
insert it and from allah's eyes
therefore
he named nephews with the clipper from
the fact that the altar that be
established the name of it of chai and
vital
that this nephesh by itself is clipper
he may another point is
me men and boys call on me or bear me
this comfort my bias
creature pain about
[Music]
say this in the four elements fire eight
shrug my mother fire wind
water and dust
the difference is only that the the the
essence of the found
the fun the foundation of the elements
based on the the quality of their level
in gospels
in other words the elements are the same
the expression of the elements
are different depending on what gas
means because
what gosh means the item you're dealing
with or what spiritual item you're
dealing with who's raising therefore
also in the soul of the flesh yes
you say this it has four elements
and it's from that nephesh of basa
that the that that the british roy has
come about
every particular bad quality comes from
a particular element
because he explains the cause
anger the guy there and conceit
[Music]
come from the element of fire shinigva
lamyla
that tends to go upward as we see a
flame rises upward
when a person is in the mode of anger
his
spirit is is up he's very right and so
too when he brag with his conceitful
guy though
and that explains that in his own words
the nature of fire
should leak the lamina that it rises
upward canoe because so too with anger
a person's heart is boiling the oil and
milo
[Music]
they become totally immersed
and
to the point that because of their great
anger
it's possible
at that moment he forgets at completely
about
his intelligence a moment ago you looked
at him as an intelligent person all of a
sudden
he's an angry he's an anger mode you
would never
know that this person is about
this is the previous poetic language
like an
evil damaging animal
a shed like about someone who's
looking to eat up another animal and
destroy it
you know so whatever says he's so
boiling
that he wants to eat up and destroy
anything and everything around
him next page 211.
hey baby so too
we find a similar behavior when it comes
to
guyva to conceit and yiddish
was the remains
him the fact that man uh
grace means large and great he
he he boasts he boasts over that
that anderlin over the other one he
i'm greater than you i'm bigger than you
in the sense of i'm so much more
sophisticated and knowledgeable
because this is out from the beginning
these character traits and behaviors
are a result of the midas h
of the nephesh of clipper
from them you say it shall benefit
then he goes to another character issue
which is coming which comes from
water the tithe is now he talks about
indulgences of pleasures
the fact that a person lost his
bodily pleasures says that
whom you say that
comes from the foundation the element of
water
chaperone fish the clipper right and the
altar episode
just as water max
right you need water to grow all kinds
of
vegetation and all kinds of
food which many of them we are
of of um taiva nature
so too those bodily needs that
are totally dominant dominated
by the uh the gland of uh of taiva
are associated with the midas hamayum
okay water because just as water
waters uh community
so too does typhus typhus
are the body's natural
uh indulgence area
number three las vegas via spiders
scoffing frivolity and boasting
those was mentioned
here is not talking about guyva conceit
with quality you know that
the person's about guys but he has with
what to be about guys
his spa root means you boast like a big
balloon you
there's nothing there you just brat you
boasting so the rabbit says the fact
that
man barim that's the word in yiddish is
boasting an idol chatter
chit chat just talking away without any
purpose just to make conversation and
all that
but thus is out
these are all things
does that even
when he does this does it is thus
frivolity just sitting around and making
jokes and wasting time and voting to
tell him and boasting
even when you do it it's a bunch of the
english expression
hot air garnish it's nothing
yes yes there are some
physical matter islam's
ashadhaim aiza matthias they
are themselves a mitzvoth in existence
a reality i will call
him but
all these things three things are
harigambe
even while you're in that mode ain't um
there is no reality to them it's a bunch
of hot air
veheme
[Music]
they come from the element of ruach
[Music]
air and finally
for oxless laziness the asvos
melancholy depression boy me
say the offer comes in the element of
offered
dust which is on the the floor on the
bottom right does dirt when a person is
lazy they're they're they feel down
when they're depressed or and melancholy
and all that
it's as it's the expression of the
asylum offer
so all this
says all this is a result
of the nephesh hashemis beast uh it
never zoo the clipper
which he calls nepheshabuser now this
itself
you take this paragraph you use this as
a meditation too
as it you know and especially if you do
this
when you say krishna mita and you want
to do chuva
you know once a week or once a month or
whatever
and you think about this you have to
know what's causing
what is the cause for the bad behavior
where is it coming from so the altered
in the name of rebecca and vital he
takes you see hello
if you look into vital you're not going
to find this
elaboration you just find the fact
this is this and this is this
took these ideas and
gave it salt and pepper now
for the arizona himself and for the
vital they didn't either because they
were such
but the average person is not so the
average person needs to have
an understanding with elaboration
of taking concepts in kabbalah
and showing that cabal is not you know
abracadabra magical stuff
kabbalah is a helicopter a holy part of
toyota
and yes it has a certain way
of of how it operates
i told you cabola is
undressing man and
showing how man is godly but undressing
him
siddhis is dressing hashem up
and showing how man is godly you see
it's a difference
a difference in the approach
so here you have an example i think this
is a very very concrete example of
dealing with all of these middles
anger and guyvo and
all these different things and
dissecting them
carefully so that if you want to
do the therapy and you want to heal
yourself
you need to know that for typhus you've
got you have to deal with
with mayan not with h typists are not
coming from fire
so imagine a therapist who's advising a
client
or a roof or mash peels advising this
talmud
on an issue of typhus any any and he
says you know where it's coming from
it's coming from
that part of you that's you know that's
fiery and
no it's passive it's not it's not
the passion the tithe that you know
the expression in english quiet but
deadly
quiet but deadly is the source
for typhus quiet but deadly is not the
source for
anger and
so this is why this is an important uh
thought process
to have clear to ourselves so that when
we deal with these issues
we deal with it correctly yes hilo
i was just yeah i was just thinking it
was you were saying an example that
um i forget which rabbit was but there's
a story that
uh certain rabbit one one
of the like knights of hanukkah so they
didn't have
oil so they burned a wax candle in there
and uh it made it made an impression in
the wall
you made a mark in the wall and the and
the rebel wouldn't array he already
liked the
the the nair of hanukkah the the age of
kadusha
should it made it made that impression
but i would say
too that um taivas they they sort of
slip
by you know we just sort of slip into
them but
but anger leaves an impression on the
nervous system
and certainly leaves impression on the
on the nervous system of other people
who are around us when we when they
express it you know
you know what rabbi rum towards
guillermo
but say if you if you get angry
you're letting someone else live rent
free in your head
in your head by the way they just
announced
that uh menorahs or the sure where the
color used to meet
um that they're going to name it in his
memory
oh wow yeah what what do you mean
they're gonna check they're gonna change
the name or just
add a name i i probably added on i
suspect you know
oh well that's something like that but
that's right you know it's uh
rabbi myers is married to his
stepdaughter right right right
stepmother stepmother stepmother
[Music]
okay zai doesn't everyone have a good
day we'll see everyone tomorrow bye bye
you
