page nine when middle
um the Indian hayekusim it's right smack
in the middle of the page just to recap
the rabbit starts here with the Posse
that was saying every day
to heal him Dr Miller says my heart
talks to me it has a mission it tells me
back to funai search for God's face
and David says I listen to my heart as
that's from Rashi and I have a question
to the rashi's words
my heart is doing it for you
in your mission what does that mean now
that another interpretation of Russia
brings with McClain your place God my
heart comes to me what does that mean
those were two questions you know kind
of technical questions and we'll see
later at the end of the mimer
and here again I emphasize you she had
the style of you don't get an answer
right away you want to write away an
answer it's not go elsewhere here you
gotta wait four pages
you got to learn about God
and once you learn about God then the
answers come in other words the answers
are insignificant
What's significant is the relationship
of God and understanding Hashem that's
hibachiness
the questions and answers are small
change so it's a very again here I think
it's important to point out it's a very
different departure from let's say even
producers
a question on the partial question of
the answer a question again it could
give you some Kabbalah see this in the
middle but surely the approaches are
very different showroom has a lot of um
has quite a bit of Chabad in it
um I believe he was very very studied in
Chabad no question about it not even a
question and uh inculcated it into his
Hasidic approach towards cities but um
here you see it clearly the two
questions not much of the not very
strong questions but nevertheless
questions yes hello
uh aren't sloanum and Shabbat close to
each other geographically
I mean the lubavitchens
was in in in belarusia white Russia yeah
and I think Islam is yeah yeah yeah yeah
they I I don't know if it was like uh
four hours or three hours or one hour
but it was in that in that region yes by
by cart
yeah yeah okay
so yes
I thought the Bible is in Russia proper
as opposed to Belarus maybe it changed
you know but originally was in what we
called White Russian that was when the
balatania when the mythical Rebels
settled in lebavic he was called White
Russia which I thought is called Byler
Russia now if at some point it changed I
I I I don't know enough about the
geography
middle of page nine when we talk about
the relationship of me sorry
this is a verse that's found almost on
every in every minor of khabar from my
flesh I will perceive God for my flesh I
perceive God meepsodi the question was
asked in the mimer here is so why me
sorry who perceives God the soul
perceives God not the flesh so why the
language of My Flesh Abram you're with
me right
so that I was explained to us there's
two types of perception this
intellectual perception and there's
physical perception in Hebrew there's
Ria sikhlis that means intellectual
perception you understand
which means physical
tangible perception
and that ever said that every every
every
experience both of these types of
perception requires the soul and the
body right with if you if the soul is
the Hashem of the nepheus understands
something but doesn't have a physical
body to express it it goes nowhere and
vice versa you can see something but you
don't have the drive to explain it and
to live with it it's also meaningless
nevertheless evidence now here it is
Association
between these type two types of
perception depends on the two types of
seeing experiences
when we talk about a physical scene
physical seeing is primarily focusing on
the tangible material object
I see the car I see the road that's
that's what grabs you first
colder Virginia shock of his Brotherhood
anything that's of godliness that's God
Bainbridge that is whether it be the
Earthly hosts Stars the moon the sun
baby goofy on the uh
whether it be of the I'm sorry of the
Earthly host of The Heavenly hosts like
the angels and the souls yes
based on their the rambam writes this in
Hill because you say that Torah this
isn't that the Swedish that every
creature that God created be it from the
spiritual to the physical has what he
had called Homer the material the matter
with Surah and its form
right you have a piece of wood you take
that and you make out of it a beautiful
table or chair or cup Etc so that suda
is the particular way in which you use
the Clayman
move in that government
it's understood
that the Heimer and Surah within Every
Creature depends on the creature he lay
therefore
when we say about physical seeing the
focus is on the Heimer which on the
material which is the goof
the body the the eyes gravitate to the
material object that it sees so what
catches it first the claimer
conversely versus
the intellectual seeing he'd been
nauseous
it's not focusing on the Homer of the
nibira and the material of the nibra on
the object of the nebula velveil but
rather on the spiritual the soul
for example if we were to look at a car
and we were able for a moment to get
away from seeing is it a a Lamborghini
or is it a Mercedes or is it a telst a
Tesla the Holy Holy if if our mind and I
would be able to get away from that we
would say it's a heap of metal
and guess what
there's no difference in the middle
it's not that this medal is any better
than this it's what you do with the
metal
and give you an example it could be that
there's also a difference in the quality
of the metal
it's like I always have the question
probably right gasoline unleaded gas
right so you have Exxon and mobile and
then the right and then they charge the
regular price you go out to New Jersey
or you know you find some offbeat
station and a corner where you wouldn't
want to walk and the guy's selling the
gas for 20 30 cents less
so you ask a question is the quality of
this gas the same as this gas and it's
good to put into my engine
I don't know enough to answer I I didn't
ask and I was told it's all the same I
don't know if I'm right or wrong but the
point is there could be a difference
and it could be a difference based on
what type of car you have and for one
car cheap gas inexpensive gas you know
no name brand gas is really bad for the
engine and and for another type of car
it's not the point being that if you
focus on the Surah you hear
if you focus on the on the soul
of the item it's a whole different
analysis and that's what the devil says
here real circus motion means
intellectual seeing right means I focus
on the soul of the issue I don't look at
the outside of the issue
and then there is so you take two people
coming to show
one person it's a there are some people
that will look them up and down do they
have a tie do they have a jacket do they
have sandals do they have socks do they
have a half do they have a beard do they
have payers do you know to have they
showered
that's Riya mukashis
and then there's the real secrets
like I don't even see
can you imagine I don't even see all
these outer trimmings I look at the soul
and if I and it could be that the person
who out really looks like a schluck and
all that the soul is so much more
special and so much more beautiful and
so much more refined Ria
Z
so the devil says
that the primary focus
of this is
and the primary focus of the Via
mukashis is on the Goof that's a
generalization but that's the the first
way the way we discern between the two
now let's continue
and this is what he's the prophet says
for my flesh I perceive God she ruined
the crushes
we need to see Hashem
as though we see the Earth on maisha's
wall
you have to see it because means
you have to walk at the office mice in
the morning you don't see your beautiful
heart you see God in the art that that's
what we're talking about
the soul of the drawing of the pain so
so the trappings and and you know
beautiful art beautiful great great
artist cabaldi
but I look like I told you mental photo
is a Mendel was in my house in in in
Marin County and I had the picture of
the the hasid then going in a wagon
going up right it's called the paintings
called fromage to the Babbage
and all of a sudden their mental jumps
up and he goes over to the painting and
he stands and it's glaring at the
painting and I I was a little talking to
him but he stops it I say Fetter means
Uncle what are you doing
he says
the the the Armenian I mean
is there a minion there
I said I never counted I don't I never
thought of asking if there's a minion
I started to count or 10 people in the
wagon there's a minion
and then he says to me because it's
known everybody
to me this was such an eye-opener here
is here's beautiful piece of art that
sounds climbing the famous Hasidic
artist drew and and you know and it's
very inspirational there's a message
from the the Minsk City the The Village
called khaslavic whatever salivation was
born which was um you know known as more
of a literature place
from their dark corner in haslavic with
their surrounded and consumed by the
snag them by lit Fox and they're going
to the river and they're going upward
and there's a there's a Shaker in the
bottom drinking and laying on the floor
drinking and they're toasting Ohio
because they're going to the river if
you haven't seen this picture you should
look at it right but until then go did
this I never took the time to like study
the picture or or look at the soul of
the picture
that's what we're talking about
back back to the text that ever says
we're looking
to make to experience godliness
in other words to experience the soul
in a body-like way
that's what the navi wants of us let's
continue
and although
generally speaking both types of seeing
are equal because remember both have a
soul and a body
an image and a form I'm sorry
the object in the form because
nevertheless how the answer is
it's impossible to have
physical tangible seeing of God
how can we do it myself I want to see
your face though God says you can't see
my face buddy it's good try Moses you
can't get it
good try but it ain't gonna happen why
not I love you I really want to see I'll
do anything for you no no you don't
understand
what God is and what you motion are
even though your emotion you're still a
creature and a creative being
is outside of the category of God so the
idea of seeing me physically is not real
not at this time
not premashiach that's what he says here
one second
why does it say why I think ashaya pick
me up sorry exactly
the Hebrew word
velveil the word answer is is Aramaic
it's not it's not Aramaic it's not the
conventional word for C which is
interprets that the reason why it says
exit is to tell you because when it
comes to seeing God you cannot see him
in a tangible way where you can feel it
and see it
the the the the the most you can do is
perceive perception X that denotes
perception continuing the
Angela is not like the clarity when one
sees something is what only only what
does that says
that you can you can perceive God
nevertheless
and that was playing both sides of the
scale
it says
from my flesh I perceive God
that means yes it's only X there but
what's the content of that extra
godliness and explains
in the experience of accent there you
can have
godliness to be tangible and real
yes and it gives us a beautiful example
to bring this down to earth
you hear this
there are Godly Concepts Godly
experiences and give this
Godly things
that come in a very understandable and
actual seeing way because
like Divine Providence
but the rabbit says here and is so
important when we perceive Divine
Providence practice
you don't need more than that and I
shouldn't say you at this time you don't
need more than that
and and by the way for this Abram for
this to see Divine Providence
you don't need to be a roshishiva a
rabbi scholar
a yeed is working hard in a Tannery
ayed is working on the field
and he sees that this piece of Earth if
the protest is good and next to it is no
good he sees clearly Divine Providence
that over here it's this way and there's
that way then he starts asking why
either he finds out or he doesn't
and so in our life
is seeing God within perception
in other words when something happens to
you say wow this is HP you know what HP
is Right capital h capital B
we used to drive with the kids in the
car and there was traffic and everyone
got nervous my wife would say it's
got some practice
the first thing is that God wants us not
to be in traffic
you'll see it if you want pizza you
won't see it but surely
once in a while we get a wake-up call
and God gives us a nice gift and we can
say we see
and the stories you know the this
happened that happened and I was
supposed to go on the plane or the train
or be there and I wasn't 9 11 there were
people that were supposed to be in their
office and they were delayed and there
was lives were saved etc etc
but what I'm saying is even not the
grandiose
where my
you know you sit back you say like
mamesh could say my life was saved
because of this and that literally
that's that's like a practice that's all
over the place that's you know obvious
but then there's small little practice
the quality of which is the same the
question is whether we observe it we
relate to it we we we we we have the
edelkite the refinement to say says
you know so what the episode's here
maybe sorry
this idea of Ashoka practice has to be
perceived by us in our flesh
not just in our Mind's Eye you have to
see it it should be as clear as you see
a material object that's what he says
over here yes
all right
and I see you so I can't say no you
can't see my face see my back
so he flew behind the Rock and he saw
him
and I heard that that is the idea of her
proper person
only after this happened then you can
recognize that I said please
though I I hear you and I thank you
first of all for adding that's very
important but are you are you saying
that one cannot see has gotcha protest
as it's happening
and it happened it only happened in
other words you don't
don't recognize it because
so I'm asking you must it be that way
must it be that way
I I don't know yes
okay I want to think about that that's a
I need to think about that I'm really
glad you bring it to the table and um I
want to think about that if
Any teacher or that's your own
understanding
uh I think it's time right
yes yes I wanted to make one quick uh
yes please please you get the Marshall
of somebody who sees that the the plants
grow here better and it doesn't go right
right and another one of them
uh he brought the phrase
that defined in our the person who had
that at that particular knowledge of
like what would grow well in that land I
just wanted to review it make sure I'm
remembering it right
that's correct that that yeah I remember
I remember with schmeimer and yes
um he quoted the the Rashi over there
that amorits doesn't mean uh nickname is
it means a person of the land who has an
understanding of Agriculture yes did you
say could you quoted rashvi I think
Rashi I think Rashi
I think I think that the the Rashi right
Russia yeah yeah I I believe so uh
that's what I remember too yeah it was
really a nice I really liked it yeah uh
Velva where are you sitting I love your
background with the with the with the
trees are you on vacation somewhere
