good morning we're learning the myma
omalibi in the safe of my modern cotton
that we use
and maisha sent out a uh whatsapp of the
of the pages if you haven't
if you don't have it maybe in which you
can send it to you
as we as we learn
uh we're learning this mimer because
it's preparation for rosh hashanah
it's quite the shallow everyone knows
the importance of the month
the melo is here whether we like it or
not he's in the field he's in our house
all he wants of us is to come greet him
if you're lazy and you stay home and you
don't go out to meet the king of the
field
you haven't met the king in the field
and if you haven't met the king in the
field you lost an opportunity so hey the
cello is the time when the altar ebba
says in the future brings in different
discourses the melech is basurder so
one of the other things that we do
during evil we say psalm 27.
says
middle of the capital
and the middle capital
the heart of the jew says to the jew
search for god and the devil says i
search for god the rashi says
this is uh a mission that that god gives
the heart
to to talk to the person to
you know search for me and the rabbi
asks two questions what does that mean
and then he begins explaining the
concept
and as i've said this is a a a staple in
this it's a positive
but
uses it to to
to show its approach what is its
approach
we need to perceive god from our flesh
if if we understand god and that we
understand him god well but we don't see
it through our flesh something is still
lacking
and this city spends all of its time how
to make godliness how to make
divinity real in our life
and this my man particular that ever
really elaborated on that there's two
types of perception there's intellectual
perception which you call
riya
right intellectual saying and there is
tangible physical
sync
there is practical seeing meaning that
you could you see it's light outside now
even if you don't have the the
understanding what light is
and how light works
and what darkness is just look outside
you see you see light
this is called riyambo the ebba says the
passage says um
which seems to be initially
a contradiction
because if you're talking about divinity
godliness godliness is more rookness
more spiritual
right
and yet the verse says
um
you should see god
from your flesh
how how
the flesh sees food it's he's sleeping
it's he's giving to dhaka it's he's
visiting someone in a hospital is not
well
those are physical things but godliness
so then he he he retorted
he answered his question
by saying well that's why it doesn't say
the word in hebrew
for seeing israel
so there ever says the fact that the
navi doesn't use the word mipsardi
from my flesh i will see
clearly godliness but rather the the
aramaic word
which means vision and aramaic
meaning that the vision is not as clear
and that's why the the word esther was
chosen and not
it because godliness divinity you can't
see tangibly
and that ever says i don't buy that
argument sorry
it's true
that our perception is not as clear as
we actually see something but the
objective is
to get
to a state of the ear
and whatever says
how is that that's the question now how
do we accomplish
seeing god
seeing the lacus divinity in the
physical world and the answer that he
gave here at the end of page eight um
nine
the end of the first race over here is
through
the mom is the last one
seeing what we call
hp
capital h capital p
proteit
divine providence in your life
and in the world around you
this is
esser not exelocus
so
when you missed your bus or your train
or your car ride or your plane ride
and then
you hear that this and this happened
you say what has got protest
and that's something you know that's
obvious to everyone that hears the
battle still knows about it but it's in
the small things of life
that that every everyday occurrences we
need to train ourselves
with a fine eye
that is
i told you when we would drive you know
with the children on the freeways and
all that
and there was traffic and i got a little
uh
impatient and nervous you know and it's
hot and it's long and
my wife would say
it's
and she would train the kids that's the
time to say it's
that you're stuck in traffic
specifically when you're impatient and
you're nervous and you're tired and
you're hot and the kids are screaming
and the babies are going nuts and you
just say let me get out of it there's
this mess
and you can't
or another time i remember i was driving
with a
um i was in a car with a group of people
driving to hebron
to the the machpelah
and it was a winter january february it
was snowing
and
we were stuck in traffic and guess who
was all around us
not yarmulkes and beards but our
wonderful cousins
you know
and you can't go anywhere
you can you you're lucky if your car
doesn't break down
it's good
so this that ever says is seeing
godliness
very tangible very real
so the reason why the why my says
and not era is because
how do you underst
who who says it
is the mind
it's the mind
the um
the intellectual understanding of the
situation says it's
but tangibly i'm stuck in traffic with
enemies all around me
so that's why it says exelca let's go on
now to page
10.
who the explanation further didn't exist
it says in partial places man was made
in the image
in the
is
is created in the image and in the
gestalt of supernova man commission
we say this in the after of schwarz of
course of the
seems to be the image is like the image
of man looks like a person all of mill
milo that's about on the chair sitting
on the throne
says kabbalah and explain the siddhas
shaheen this refers to
us
the ten emanations
of the world of closeness
they appear to be
like
like a human
like a man
but
let's let's learn for them
you
by knowing the details of the faculties
of man when your name and there and what
they mean
it's possible then after mastering that
understanding to understand godliness
the swedish hyenas in the upper
emanations
and the later protests
and then you could know the difference
of the emanations if you understand the
yourself better
those are bishops
penis they're divided into neglected
staples they're divided into two
categories
encompassing ones opnemium and internal
ones
hence the words
right are you a makif are you living a
mockified type of life a super
superficial type of life
or are you living panimi an inner type
of life where everything you do
is draw drawn towards and expressing
youth
shape sluices
these are three general categories
machine
two mushroom medius
mind and emotions
by the way are what
will the willpower and the pleasure
power
tainook and
and within every category that this the
emanations are different within the
category itself
and although they're all
grouped in one category i.e intellect
not only is intellect different than the
encompassing sphero examinations i.e
willpower right willpower is consistent
and throughout the entire body
yes my
she wanted to ask you a few lines back
i'm sorry just go back
yes
and
i didn't quite catch that what what the
difference is between the two okay so he
says two lines later the difference is
makifum is
willpower and and pleasure don't have he
does actually you're right he doesn't
say it i need to explain it it does if
my willpower and pleasure doesn't have
one specific abode in the body that you
that you say this is its home
where is willpower
anywhere everywhere if you want if your
pinky wants to move it move itself it
moves if your hand wants to play music
on a violin or an instrument that does
so if your mind wants to
understand something so willpower
is a faculty that's that's throughout
the entire body but but it doesn't have
a a at home
it's all over so therefore we call that
makif it encompasses
whereas
seijo we're seiko is there in the in in
in the heart no
is there cycle in the feet no
the place for cycle is the mid brain
so seiko is already a pneumy
means it's inside
it has a container
it's here and not there
so when when when when you access your
willpower
your willpower will prompt your mind to
understand something better and your
feelings to feel something better
so we're not
so there is there is in other words
there is
there's virtues and to each to mock him
up in he didn't he's not talking about
that right now we'll see if he does
but basically that's the difference
between makifum and premium
do you follow or not
i'm not sure
okay
okay i'm going i'm going to uh give you
homework uh please read up in the series
chabad heritage series almost every
volume probably has a footnote that
gives good english explanations to these
things and i would encourage you to look
there hopefully it'll be clearer
um
let's continue
so he said he says
so he says
so the difference he's saying the
differences are not only in the general
categories between the three
between the matifem
mohen and midas but within each category
itself there are differences
the
of intellect different than the category
of of of the encompassing ones and the
and the category of the emotions that
were shameful
within themselves their lives
technically their oros and their caleb
and their vessels meaning the emanation
and the receptacle to receive the
emanation
are different oklahoma
it says
there are
three
uh halal you know the halal is a uh
hello
like
shaheen
[Music]
there are three specific chambers
big gogolas in the skull
in man's skull
of the holo
in each
in each cavity there finds itself a
specific brain
part
that changes
that that when used it's
material
make up changes
okay
so scientists here
what we're saying
is like this
that that that
each part of the brain
has
issue your your doctor has has a has a
uh uh has a has a material
and and and and depending on if it's
in other words if it's the creativity
part of your brain that's being used or
your analytical part of your brain being
used or your concentration part of the
brain that's how the climber is
comprised of
the the physical like you know we're not
scientists and we're not brain surgeons
but that's what he says here
and it's not his kudus it's brought in
that the actual material
of the brain
i think there's a whole study today
called neural science and and where they
talk about these things and i believe
this is some of what that ever is
alluding to over here the point being
he's showing us
that
that the differences between
the the spheros
is is one that also impacts the heimer
the actual material of that part of the
brain
is it does that uh does that
coincide with your understanding of the
brain
i don't hear you
okay
he's uh you're it's not you don't hear
you okay
and he gives an example a
simcha listen to this
the
the power the faculty of hakma
of what we what we translate as wisdom
but again you only what what's the
chabad meaning of
creativity
that part of the brain is car cold the
lach and moist
um
and the makeup
of the that part of the brain that's
associated with being um
who have the yogis
it's
hot warm and dry warm and dry
the
says so depending on what part of sake
was being used
and the matter is being used
that's the difference between
it tapping into either the moist part of
the brain
the wet part of the brain or the dry
part of the brain
now we're going to page 11 as an example
using that as an example
we can understand better basic
in regard to the spheres above
and although most of this fetus
they come one from the other mikkomaking
nevertheless
they're different
and the difference between the spheros
the aminations are also different in the
way
they result from a privileged feeder
liars the whole sweet of sweden
because each emanation is
is specific to its kind the hosa
is
this is the difference the specific
differences between the sweetest
yesterday
buzzfeed is there's another general
difference between the emanations
okay
until now he discussed
differences within the emanations
themselves
versus being a cold versus warm and all
that
now he says the placement
the arena
in we're the spheros
express themselves make also a
difference so for example
here we are each one of us
we've been learning together for
bringing together talking together
now
if we were all uprooted and planted
elsewhere
with other types of people let's say we
would go to the amazon and out in
in in brazil or we would go to the
jungles in in north africa
that placement the fact that we end up
elsewhere and it's not what we're used
to would make an impact on
our
expression
and i used the word expression because
we learned already earlier in different
places
the essence of a person remains the same
the essence isn't changing because you
live in archie's role today okay whoever
you were chicago mushroom
as you know
that's really who you are and it's been
enhanced and improved and refined and
whatnot
but the eczema of them is the same
the acid
the the the uh manifestation of the
essence
the dressing up of the and that's very
important
but you know people will run away
to the other side of the world right
they think the grass is greener
elsewhere
and what do you find out
the same issues come back to haunt you
it's not now it's not in brooklyn so
it's a chicago it's not a chicago so
it's a big chamber it's not a big
chamber show it's in north africa
you can't run away from yourself
you can run away from others but you
can't run away from yourself
so
the rebbe says here
that the spheros the spheros are not
we're not talking about the xm now we're
talking about the essence we're talking
about the man of this the emanations the
emanations are impacted by the community
they're in
so
i teach you a certain way now i'm going
now down to north miami with different
types of students
so i'll be teaching similar mymorim
could be i'll have to package it
differently for them
why because they're
they're different people living in a
different place
and used to different types of things
so the cultures
of the spheros
makes a difference
the rabbit doesn't the rabbit doesn't
say these words in the mimer but he does
say it clearly he says
he says in a different way it says
the difference in the spheros also
depends on which islam they're in
are they abram are they spheros are they
emanations in the world of
in the world of briya in the world of
yet
or the world of asia
right
where are they manifesting themselves
okay
let's continue
the way they are in the world of action
compared to the world of of form of of
you see the formation of image
it is
are common
in every world and every plateau and
every domain
right
nevertheless he says
they're different
the quakers have never stopped
all this is possible the these
differences because we're talking about
the faculties of the soul
the clerical efforts the faculties
because they themselves are divided into
two categories machine the encompassing
ones like we said before willpower and
pleasure opnemium and the inner one
meaning the ones that have an abode i.e
intellect and emotions
all the slaves are still gonna kill him
and therefore we divide them into three
general categories mentioned earlier but
from the encompassing one in the the
intellect umidos and the emotions
and now here he mentions moisture you
asked here he mentions what the
encompassing ones are the oil egg this
is page 11 about 10 lines down the
earning pleasure
the russoing
and will power hey
from their encompassing faculties
they don't have specific limbs we use
klim elaine which are their receptacles
but they're equal we found throughout
claudius i have to show mitsubishi so
where do the differences begin from the
perspective of the of the receptacles
the limbs
and the right shoulders
in other words i guess
willpower is willpower right
if you but the willpower of the mind and
the willpower of the heart
express willpower in two different ways
so who is making the difference in the
willpower
only the kali the place that it
expresses itself in
but the the nucleus or the energy
that's being expressed is the same
in other words if willpower is operative
simcha
listen if willpower is operative it
makes no difference in in it makes no
difference where it's operating sorry it
makes no difference that it's operative
what the difference is where it's
operative is it operative in the head in
the heart and the feet and the hands
that there are differences
but the nakuda it's the same will power
so when you see your innocent
when you see a a child
express willpower
and you say this child doesn't have yet
intellectual capacity to understand
the importance of the idea and yet you
see this child
is trying and determined and persevering
because willpower is operative now
and that up and that willpower that's
operative now
is is is similar to the willpower of the
great intellect
who's who's who's working very hard to
to
express a deep idea that he or she has
yes yes yes yes
so okay so
from what i understood
from what you just said
when you're talking about willpower
you're talking about when it's from the
heart
or from the brain
are you talking about also
especially just brought up a child the
impulsivity of of the human um
psyche
like
we have an impulse we see challenge we
want to eat the challenge
does the willpower come before the
intellect or the intellect comes before
the willpower is that the nakuda
yeah
yeah yeah
yes meaning to say we need to say
the question is and this we hillary's
not here or our local psychologist
um
impulsivity
is that willpower
you know
i would stop right there and and and and
analyze and
is impulsivity
willpower i'm not sure it is
impulsivity
i don't know that has to be looked at uh
hit issue would you agree or disagree
no you can't hear today
there's a microphone i guess
it's not working
anyway so yay but overall okay okay
overall that's correct
russian
willpower drives man
because again
this child
doesn't have an understanding about
certain about most things and yet is
driven where is it coming from from the
russian
an adult who has an understanding that's
where you say wait a minute
what's triggering that
drive the understanding
or the willpower
so sid is
generally speaking and he says
that it's the willpower the quechus
that is the impetus
for the intellect that's why i say to
you yes
uh what time is it please i i don't have
a watch right now
3 17.
okay we'll stop here uh it's a little
heavy you know but that's the idea of
learning accidents we got to learn it
all
and uh
and
yeah and when you when you break it down
so i'm glad what you said my shannon
glitter you yeah you know
when you break it down
it becomes more meaningful
avraham were things clear today for you
without a reward
because we could get bogged down but the
idea
is basically
the the the
the makifam as mosha said pointed out
the will and willpower and pleasure
versus intellect have a great day
everyone we'll see everyone tomorrow as
i give shalom bye-bye
thank you very much take care
you
