i'm going to be starting a seminar
tonight so i'm not going to be around
much of the next week but i'll be with
you in spirit
okay good okay so we are
um on page
200 and wait a minute
we're in the middle of the paragraph
and okay we're kind of the rep is
explained to us over here we're middle
of this idea
of that the motion of bainu feeds the
ambula to a
he's still in the middle of this topic
so so
he's talking about the darcelian dustin
which we spoke about the two
ways of god's manifestation
and
and now we are
or in the middle of the page where how
would i describe this um
oh he he spoke about the
from one hand god's energy hashem's
energy
needs to be the key roof needs to be
close to us
to to enliven us at the very same time
the energy needs to be
distant from us hidden from us not to
overwhelm
us that was the last thing we discussed
yesterday so let's go to
um for the beginning of ice youth base
from
it's one two three four five six seven
eight nine ten eleven 11
11 lines from the beginning of the
paragraph
and the middle of that line commission
is explained elsewhere
at length
the wondrous creation that
comes about from having a dual
reality you hear the words i'm using the
reality one is not less than the other
close and distant
close and reverent love and awe
healthiest relationship is when you have
it
you have both together ava and yidda
if it's all love it's a problem if it's
all fear it's a problem and that's the
way it's in life too
balanced
now he says that we find the same notion
not only in the res in the result but
also
in the energy now hillar why is he
making this point
because we understand from the shallow
and from others that everything that's
found here on earth begins in heaven
heaven is the the or another word in
spirituality
that's that's where it's real the way we
the way we already feel it here
it's not it's not the real reality the
real reality is the way it's in the lake
course and the way it's in the godhead
in spirituality so there are the frida
krebs
says the same thing look what he says
so too in the actual energy of god
god's energy
there's no such a thing that something
is it exists on its own
how does it exist from the godly energy
the year calls thereby
us and one is to understand this not
just believe it
so someone said stabs you on at your
seminar
where you're going healing someone says
uh uh that pillow
dr hillel professor hilo mr hillel do
you understand how god
creates us is he here is he not here
could you explain this to me and you
start uh fubbing and
you gotta understand it bahasa panemias
just like you understand how this
addiction is so no good and what you
advise to get rid of the addiction or
whatever other
type of issue you're dealing with the
same way you have to understand
godliness
you understand that that's what that's
what
the altar ebba wants of hasidim
to understand god leaders in the five
fingers
one two three four five you can count
them you should be able to count
clearly the details of godliness
they say over hillel moshe avi the story
of the mitchell rebbe one second the
mittal rebbe said
what is my greatest wish that who two
hasidan will meet each other in the
forest when maisha is right now
and they should discuss yehudi
not baseball and that was for lunch and
how are your kids doing
and and how was me wrong it's all good
god it's a whole different idea yes
hila what you want to say uh actually i
have to i have to look it up i thought i
remembered it
i was i was learning this morning in the
in the
safer the piazza cerebra and you brought
a safer from the altareba that i had
never heard of
i want to ask you about it okay so look
it up tomorrow whatever you'll ask me
okay yeah go ahead okay let's continue
when you feel in your own nephesh
i just wanna i wanna i wanna bring this
down just stop talking out loud because
i have no one else to talk to
this morning so i'm talking to you guys
to my friends
do you have a is there a snowstorm there
i hear others no no not here in texas
and other places but anyway
and you listen to this so yesterday i
went for a root canal
now i am in general not a big favor of
doctors
i try to avoid going to doctors and
uh you know whatever it's a whole story
i guess i got into my mother blessed
memory she was also anti-doctors
so a dentist is even worse for me
because you know that he's going to put
those or he or she is going to put these
big needles into your mouth and they're
going to say ouch
anyway so i over the weekend over
shabbos i felt some
slight pain in my right side
and it wasn't cruciating pain i said to
myself you know
you played around for so many years you
you killed some of your teeth
you extracted some of your teeth you
make yourself problems because you were
afraid to go to the dentist and you
didn't do what you had to
go now and i just listened to my
conscience
and i went and the doctor told me sunday
he examined yes
you probably need a root canal because
you weren't here for two years for a
cleaning
so he said your tooth is now decay
if you were to come every six months
probably a filling would do
but it's too late but go to a specialist
and
a root canal specialist and see what he
or she says so i went yesterday a froome
woman
you know all covered in in in in in
in the protective gear today you know so
you don't barely see she's a woman you
don't know she's a woman or a man
anybody told me she's a woman and uh
i walked in and i gave her my rules for
the way i deal with doctors and she said
five minutes i went on telling her about
my sleep apnea
and telling her about this and telling
her about that and
and all every little you know and
finally
i say i'm sorry um she says no no thank
you very much i got your history i know
exactly
now about you so be really careful
and she worked on me now the last time i
had a root canal in the same office it
was a man doctor male doctor
and 45 minutes i was in and out
here it was almost an hour an hour and a
half between two hours and i'm saying
wow and i'm laying down
oh you're vey and she was very
meticulous
jailed me up no pain i was so this
morning i'm saying to myself
and i took motrin and i came home just
in case because you know you're very
you'll have pain no pain no more i
didn't take any more aspirin i'm
no tylenol and i'm saying this morning
to myself i'm doubting how thankful
i have to be to hashem that i'm feeling
normal expecting the worse
i'm saying this because it says here
because
when one feels in his soul that
the world is sustained and enlivened by
hashem
so one recognition of this is
the fact that look look at this look at
this you could have been a mess this
morning
and through the night and hashem
because they decided not to have me have
any pain whatsoever
of course hashem but i want to you know
i'm not i'm not telling you this for my
self-aggrandizement
and my stories just to bring out in the
kudu
we care about you i know i know i know
thank you i i i i know you doing i thank
you
we're happy to hear goodwill right right
right but i want to bring out the point
kane mark markish kane binocho
you feel it in your gut and you can
explain it
you could talk about it here i'll show
you
that's the level of of of understanding
the way hashem
creates and sustains the world we need
to get to you understand
that's my point just like i could talk
about the tooth
and and elaborate and talk about it and
smile about it and explain it and
right the same way we have to be able to
talk about
the the energy of god being here being
close being distant
why when what level that's what the
mitchell had ever wanted when he said
when two hasidim meet each other they
should speak about
yehudi let's continue
[Music]
avi and what he says here is then
whatever situation you're in the hold of
our
gush me and any physical
matter anywhere at any time you don't
relate to the geshem to the material
rather you relate to a sahaya saloki
to the godly energy lo sayesh
okay moshe you're driving what is a car
where did a car come from a car was a
heap of metal
before the heap of me and and from that
heap of metal
gm in its detroit plant puts together a
car
okay now you're driving the car
now look at the car ask yourself what is
this car
one person says the car oh it has a
radio the car
has special lights the car is this the
car is that in other words they
accept the yes they accept what was
created
and they go from there forward
there's another analysis where did the
car
come from why is there a car
and what's the purpose of the car in
that
thought process we're not thinking about
the car as it exists
and forward we're thinking about the car
as it does not exist and backwards
so what's the analysis not the yes
but the iron here i'm not i'm not
in other words i i one style of analysis
is
it's here yes it's here and what do i do
about it
another one is who says it's here proof
to me it's here
why is it here those questions that you
asked in the 60s and 70s and the 80s
right hey
what's going on here
you're right what's going on here why
my the 50s yeah everyone accepted things
comes along the 60s it says too bad i
don't accept it anymore
i won't understand why
so take that in in terms of what we're
learning in hasidis
the idea by the way the counter culture
thought process
was a right one and that ever said that
in the sixties the laboratory ever spoke
he said you know we're all many most
other from
communities and rebels and russia's they
a hippie a pippy get out of here
and the rabbit embraced them and the
rabbit says let's learn from them
and understand really what's bothering
them is their nostromo
their soul jewish or not jewish they
want to have more than just
you know smoking a cigarette and
watching you know the farms
for the 50s the fonzarelli and all that
nonsense
right they want to understand what is
going on over here
what's the purpose of life male or
female
choose a non-jews and that ever said
let's give them answers
so he brings in solomon posner and dr
bloch
and the the professor hanoka and
emmanuel sherhatt
and mannis friedman a little later and
they all start talking to the students
at the pages
at the encounters and we have an entire
balchuva movement today
grandchildren great-grandchildren
already coming out of all these people
why because the focus wasn't on the yesh
the focus was on the iron where did we
come from
what is our purpose and that's what it
says over here
hini us behold ever
when you relate to hashem and hashem is
what's driving you
then whatever physical situation and
material situation you encounter your
life
your analysis is not the yesh
but the godliness the story that i told
and repeat
briefly i learned to summon tanya ten
years
six in year six or so calls me up thanks
me for learning with him tanya's i say
i appreciate it but i'm going to be
seeing you tomorrow you could thank me
in person why are you making a special
call
he says i'll tell you what because i
just had a business meeting and it was
an ethical question what should do
how we should act and i thought for
myself
what would the banany say
what would the banony of the tanya say
and he says i only had that
sensitivity to think this way because of
our learning about the tanya together
so i had to thank you right away you
simply
gave me business advice about the rabbit
gives you a busy advice
and we're learning together and you're
teaching me so thank you
that's what i mean that's what i mean
the way you think the paradigm
is not yes it's again it's a lacus
and this is something that is possible
this isn't
for the for the angels and for the great
rabbis this is for every single year
to sensitize themselves to look at
things
from a godly perspective let's continue
the years who are
covering and then when your perspective
is this way
you should know he says that your intent
is god you're doing it right right avi
we want we know we ask ourselves
sometimes
how do i know i'm doing it right how do
i know
here's the answer if you go about it
with ellie in from a spiritual godly
approach then
then your intent is right
hey
you should reflect and meditate on god's
unity with the world
in a way that you actually see it
that's what i told you before you can
count it with your five
and this fingers is in many ways
one is to reflect how
everything is not before hashem
all the created worlds have no
comparison of value to the infinite
infinity of god
the habitual they had their
we call this level of subservience of
bitter
heather fisa's mockum it
it takes up it takes it doesn't take up
any space
right heather twist who better be
this isn't just what we called earlier
yes an obliteration of self
to the energy of force but the idea
and the entity itself is subservient
remember we discussed that that before
you can have
reality yes you need the notion of a yes
that the idea the idea is the right idea
before
hashem created the world he said to
himself i want a world
the world is a good thing now i'm going
to create it
right so the decision that's called the
idea
that's called the
that's called the the mathias the entity
the musa in hebrew the musa
so the rebels says this subservience
of of ev that everything is not
in comparison to hashem who's infinite
this leads a person to total bittle not
only bitter
of the self but love the idea
which we call in hebrew bitter bemidsiot
and he gives a muscle the human zelda
marshall will understand this through
your muscles
a great wise man who is wondrous and he
is on a different level
separate from all in wisdom
to this person someone who is what we
call a
cotton small change you know
is is it's it's no comparison
okay compare your professors at
whatever university alert them to to
einstein
there's no comparison
to
like stupidity he's
lecturing and telling everyone about bds
in the universities
you bring him before a real hakam you're
a big fool
you're such a fool you're not just not
that smart you're a fool
and he says not not not that he has a
little wisdom in comparison to the great
person with wisdom
he considers he
and the amount of wisdom he has like a
was such a great hakam
in other words what did god give slaymer
god gave sleimer this level of wisdom
that all the other wisdoms are
considered to that wisdom
foolishness that's the gift he was given
hillary
the host gave me saying needless to say
someone who's not a hawker
he considers them like you're not of the
human race at all
that's how distant his kharma is of the
khaku
from the coffin cotton
it's not just you have a little amount
you're not even in this category
that's how distinct it is just one
second let's let's learn the kids
and then go into the that's the we just
learned the marshall now we have to go
to the nymphs
we explained the the energy that
pervades the worlds
the emanation of munna is through
meditating
by meditating how god is close and
create creating the world
the kirov and simultaneously the helen
god concealed himself
[Music]
here the meditation is another one
consisting of a god is one by beethoven
they had the three smoking
that there's nothing that exists before
god including the idea
commercial cotton just like
m this analogy
will give us a better understanding the
way things operate in heaven
the head that twist is more coming your
name and see is regarding the issue
at hand which is how nothing
how insignificant okay let's use the
word insignificant
the mitsiyut is
the existence is in comparison to the
infinite god the infinity of god
just as we said earlier when it comes to
wisdom someone who has
gifted that he has the wonder of of of
of wisdom
[Music]
god
[Music]
on the contrary the curtains the mind
the person who has a little husband his
wisdom
seen by the gotham it's like the
opposite of wisdom
stupidity foolishness
this using this as an analogy will
understand the
fee it's in my fluorescein itself based
on the wondrous infinity of god valve de
la sius
and that god is even separated from idea
from
entity from its youth as we explained
earlier
the content of the world is
header lack of content
you like to look at his language
[Music]
what does the world consist of a lack of
world
and that itself is what it and that is
its
message so when i look at the world and
when i perceive the world
what i see is the way god is
transcendent of the world
not the way god is in the world he's
transcendent of the world
we call that head
yes
there's a difference in this feeling
between the upper and the lower explains
should neither have malcolm she'll have
the copy of obstacles in the soup in the
supernova worlds
they feel that they are that they are
insignificant compared to the essence
of itself you see because they're called
upper world super in the worlds they
recognize the wonder in the infinity
they say wow this infinity is awesome
the x-trainer and the mistakes are
welcome cloud and they understand
how the worlds that are created have no
significance compared to this infiniti
hine vasugazu so since they have this
information
and this perception and knowledge her
name is bhaka matsusam
that helps them be nullified to go to
the to hashem
take for example moshe the
are circling and kneeling and screaming
and all that and it says in kabbalah
because they feel their source so
they're robbed by their source
so the when you talk about oil myself
what is the hergish what is the feeling
of oil
this is awesome and i'm scared and
therefore i bow down to you and i'm
subservient to you
this would be compared to the
nullification the humility
that the the small hachem has to the big
that beetle
is not an exterior one like i told you
the other day
in front of the king we're all quiet and
we'll say yes king will do whatever you
want
they go out of the room they start
arguing like cats and dogs
and they curse each other out and no i
want more money for this no no no this
right typical politics in the congress
in the senate that's exactly it
they stand in front of the king in front
of the president they're all
they go out they're backstabbing each
other and fighting with each other
so that ever says here it's not that way
because the cotton who understands
the awesomeness of the kokum gobble his
subservience is
really through and through complete
right so the oil of because they
understand the
awesomeness of hashem the wonder the
ain't self infinity
they're subservient completely
all are subservient
to god
even simple people saying
who don't have any real understanding of
einstein they have no idea what that
means miss buckland the front of
bataclas nevertheless you see that
they're subservient completely to him
ella shall even be told
the subservience of simple people to a
goggle to a very wise man is very
different
than the subservience of a miner
in actuality
they're not fearful of him you know they
actually
they're they are fearful but how do they
express it hillary
they say we want to serve you that you
haven't noticed that
you know rebecca's and rabbis and many
times have a lot of fools
and simple people has their secretaries
and aides
they say a story by the the babies
they always had one or two secretaries
and aides who were like
very simple simple because they didn't
want them to
certain things they didn't want no one
to know as far as you know
revelations and special things and they
knew that the guy who has a little hakma
he's gonna talk and you know give him a
little a little vodka and a little
scotch
and a little wine they'll be talking you
know what i saw by the rubber
it seems to me that this is kind of a
corollary
to the animal world you know where
strength and
dominance and attractiveness to mates is
sort of the
primary criteria for for uh
you know who who who uh who's a uh the
alpha male
but in the in the uh the human world in
the spiritual world
that uh it's distinguishes
right and that's and that sort of
mirrors the higher world like we were
saying before
that the angelic beings and so on they
they
they recognize that they uh respond to
the ila
yeah yeah very good very good thank you
for sharing that
so let's see what he says
simple people become close to the wise
man
the rights him will
that they're close i'm i'm able to i'm
able to tie the shoes of my rabbit a
famous story the maganov was rich
that i think absolutely i forget which
cousin at the time
he said i learned how to be a hosted by
observing the way
my reputation shoes repetitive
what's the shimmus the simplicity
they feel good seeing that
doing it that's the whole idea now you
understand better why these rabbits have
mushrooms running back and forth taking
pictures driving them in the car and all
that
this this is the excuse the excuse is
that they being the kirov to their
that's attic to the rabbit that itself
is a good thing
conversely hello someone has an iota of
understanding
is not a simple thing
for example someone who's a a coffin cop
and he has some coffee
but you know i'm saying
even though you can't compare him to a
hogan
nevertheless who began he's still in the
ballpark
of wisdom like you said
he doesn't become close
what's his reaction subservience
nullification
look at the word in yiddish it's it's a
it's a beauty
means lost
he's totally not there
because he's awed by the goddess
both the the cotton and the simpleton
are both subservient before the god
but there's a difference in the matter
and style
of their bit of the subservience and it
repeats
is totally subservient with his very
core essence
mikol of everything type of two or six
let me call the code of everything comma
and number two the bitter ish
and the subservient of the simple person
that itself
that itself that he he says this this
god was so awesome i don't understand it
i want to be with him
so he becomes kind of more important
because of recognition of who he's
dealing with
and therefore he wants to become and he
functions and he functions to be close
to the
god
that ever says this will explain to us
the difference
of the
the celestial beings souls
spiritual realms their level
of bitter is like the cotton to the
where they have some understanding of
what is
they know that theirs is far from it and
therefore they say we're in
awe and we're totally dedicated to you
where verses conversely
the subservience of the lower realms the
lower worlds
[Music]
this is comparable to the the bittle the
subservience of the obliteration of the
self
known as bitter yes it
is he's a simple guy
hey i'm here don't you you're not going
to blow me away
but i see that you're special i want to
be close to you
who beheads us but in truth
in truth even though he says he'll
i want to be close to the god even
though i don't understand them
but what does he feel inside he feels
i'm nothing compared to you so i want to
be close to you
i will stop here image hashem i will
learn tomorrow sagas with everyone take
care
brother i found that reference i just
want to i want to i want to ask you
yes
it's uh actually so there are two things
the first thing is just a a safer that
he brings
in the name of the altar rabbah called
bonaire shalom
do you know the safer yes yes
it's a safer i believe a collection
of letters of the altareb i believe
okay okay that makes sense in
in the same place the um
uh which is a footnote in the safer uh
call this a tell me them from the psf
yes he um he sort of presents
a uh one might say a defense
or a um affirmation
of what i would call you know through
the lens we've been learning
uh and um uh
and i would just like to at some point
uh
you know i can get your thoughts about
it um i don't have
all that right in front of me it would
take some time but but just
let's flag it for a future uh okay
absolutely but
when you flag it you got to send it to
me ahead of time so i could study it
and speak intelligently and speak
intelligently about it
the little i know is that the the
rebbe that sadik the kadesh you know
um you know learned tanya and shares
tanya
ideas in this in his casitas
nevertheless he was
a hagas rebbe so i could i could see you
know
this issue being discussed and him
thinking about it like i could relate
i could see that something coming
yeah no i'd just be like i think a
fascinating uh
exchange to you just like where do you
begin
kind of approach okay well look um
when you get the material maybe you send
it out to everybody and we could all you
know
have a text and and something i saw this
morning and i'll have to sort of
determine
maybe i'll just have to write it up okay
okay okay
you have your homework avi were you able
to hear
avi avi were you able to hear
at the end of the week okay
okay everyone have a good day drive
safely my shoulders don't see everyone
tomorrow take care
bye-bye have a good day
