okay good morning we're on page 64 in
the my mother's milk carton of the
previous to that birthday Alexei is the
second volume page 64 just before we
start learning inside let me give a
brief recap to what we're learning and
what we're learning is really an
important issue and a sensitive issue
and on one hand that sounds like the
previous rap is kind of hacking you know
and and giving the zetz giving a good
bank to a certain you know type of
people which he is but his purpose is
much greater to really talk to every one
of us and he refers her to the issue of
psi Mason to be ruthless what does it
mean to resurrect the dead spiritually
this is this is the theme of this part
of the discourse of the miner so he he
says that a person as the very fact that
the sold in the Schirmer the sense from
on high into a physical body that itself
is a very limiting expression of
spirituality of rootless why then the
shaman high was serving a college bar
who wasn't a good place was happy and
all of a sudden you take this holy
neshama and you put it into a body and
comes to a strange place it has to learn
how to adapt it has to learn how to
respond it has to learn how to balance
spirituality and physicality
that's an entire life's experience so
the very fact that there is what we call
the Arriba's have a summer LaMotta the
descent of the soul below into a body
that itself is already a limitation
the first thing in other words even in
the charm of a cloud and a great comet
awesome every soul regardless of what
they are in their body throughout their
lifetime
the very fact is a yareta the very fact
that they leave their abode in in in in
heaven a nucleus and they come into -
Gnaeus that itself is already a reader
number two when this Monsieur mer who
has already encountered a yareta starts
dealing with all the issues in life and
they become burdensome and they become
troublesome and they become overwhelming
and the person gets themselves into
stuff you know because we're average
people and we're not perfect were human
beings but nevertheless sometimes we
pile it on and when we pile it on then
it starts reeking with a good good with
a smell with an odor that's not healthy
so that's what we call in in Tara what
we call the casual word that's used in
the yeshiva world and the traditional
from Rhoda's evaders of various
transgressions sins iniquities but but
if I said this if I said this week we
look at it not just as you know bottom
line we look at it a little more
sensitive the spiritual terms what
happens over here what happens when a
person does something contrary to a sham
wants or doesn't do it a sham wants what
happens is there's a severing of the
cord between one soul and one's essence
in in Hashem
Yaakov heaven la la la la so there's a
verse
Yaakov is a rope level of nathalie so of
his inheritance
we have a court that relate takes us
back to Yaakov each transgression peels
away one part of the court and when the
court is so thin
god forbid it's separate it snaps this
is what takes place and the neshamah
then leaves at least part of the sermon
its domain of holiness and that enters
an area called Clipper Holly nonsense
stuffs no goodness so that ever says
here the previous letter says that that
is a Mason is necessary when a person
has allowed and caused then the Shama to
go so far away here that if you're - um
is still attached and there's still some
life force it only kills a Mason you
don't need to be resurrected you know
you're still you know we all know that's
buglets lon if when you go to a nursing
home or a hospital and someone's very
ill we're all hoping that we're going to
come and see there's still some life
force there there's still some
opportunity for the person - - to get
out of the problem because they're
breathing
but among the throng god forbid if
someone is not breathing on a respirator
we're more worried because on their own
they can't breathe on their own they
would be dead so that ever here speaks
about a situation an area in a person's
life in which in in that area the person
says in this area I'm dead in this area
I've failed in this area don't talk to
me about
I'm no good about it and you know this
isn't just lip service this is very real
we all have
areas in our life that we conclude at a
certain portion point in our life that I
don't want to go there because I've
tried I've tried I've tried so that that
area is mace so what we're learning the
learning that you have to take that area
and do three a summation and you can do
clear summation you can resurrect the
dead so now we're in this part of the
mind when he describes very much the
cause and the illness so then he goes to
another point and he says don't think
that this is only applicable to those
people that are in the business world in
the in the in the world dealing with
gosh pious with material matter and
business and worries and anxieties but
let me tell you the rebus says this is
also true for your yo-yo this is also
true for the Kolo people and the esteem
of people and the rebbe ease and the
rabbis and they're up on the in the
daily in the tsadikim everyone has an
area that requires requires resurrection
and from that he says how can you how
can you resurrect the dead only through
what he calls his vain earnest
contemplation in other words if you
don't take the time to think about
everything I'm saying that the next I'm
just repeating for the minor and you
don't take the time to think about how
serious the problem is you won't be
resurrected because in the back of your
mind you're saying to myself I'm a good
guy
yeah in this area I'm a failure but I do
so many other good things and that's
true but we're not we're not talking
about the other areas in your life we're
talking about the area that is that is
dead there the area that failed that's
what we need to resurrect so the rebus
says you the cowl MacGuffin you the
student
of Torah you know how precious and
important is to learn so let me ask you
a question
yo unison he asks the question why is it
why is it that you the Talmud awesome
all the sudden why is it that you boast
with your learning now if you're not
aware of it I'll make you aware of it
this is a serious issue in the world of
learning Torah you know for people that
are not what they call been a hunter
Shiva or you know people who were not
playing on yeshiva so you know we didn't
know much you learned you're happy what
you know you learn more but but people
learn through their life people who are
learning seriously today they can walk
away many times with a feeling I know
you're gonna tell me and I can show you
what the shop says in the town says the
prima gulden said these are common
theories on the code of Jewish law and I
can show you this and I can show you the
Rambam and I can show you the morale and
I can show you the see the cerebus were
and and I can show you the c-dawg and I
can show you that in their crime will
try to and I can from everywhere
anywhere and I can even show you the
brisker good girl the brisket of the
brisket loves to do seem very
knowledgeable but they can't but they
can they conclude that and they walk
away with a sense of pride of ego this
that that was identifying now that I
possess in this area you're dead you're
dead you know why you're dead because if
there's a place in your life where you
think you have one up on our Shem and in
that area you're missing godliness and
in that air you need to be revived I
don't care how long your beard is how
big your paces and how much house you
know and how much cos it does you know
it makes no difference if you can
conclude that that you are going to be
Makabe SHhhh and then he goes to this
idea of Makati you know the only means
of hindus in other words by russia Shiva
Reuben
your son is over there
see the company
