the day we're on page 67 and the my
mother will cut them safer of the
previous that was my mother volume to
the mine that were learning I will
finish the day mu treasure is if I gave
her me you're my in my purse a kind of
shale chapter six and we've been
learning all about the spiritual idea of
Clea Mason resurrection of the dead and
how that takes place
and what that means practically we've
spent about two to three weeks on this
and we're now towards the end but it's
interesting that towards the end he it
gives us a very deep acidic idea to
think about which is the difference in
the quality between fearsome Mason and
creation creation is called bria yesh
Mayan creation X Nero and you compare
that to clear summation and the reason
for the comparison is because the hazael
say in my delay however have a ma'idah
Havel echo state if something that did
not exist which means the world creation
did not exist became existent through
God's force if that's possible Mead
needless to say something that existed
the body that was on earth can you
definitely come back because it was here
at once they were in an image in an
existence form that's that's a phase out
that's not a Sidis much cos help and
thread Burt takes this cos all and he
brings it into his way of thinking which
is the the Habad approach to the idea of
what is the approach the idea is to
think about creation ex nihilo what does
that mean and then to compare it to
clear summation and what is the
comparison so heat reduces to ideas once
called idea sure
and once called called are in Hazen are
you sure means the direct light yeah
sure
but lesser means the rebounding light
the the returning light the difference
being there is a form of energy of light
meaning energy inspiration that is
direct and there's a form of energy
that's indirect but nevertheless since
it is the rebound it's the return it's
more powerful at the end that's more
powerful the experience than the direct
light and to to to actualize that
concept he brings an example a very deep
example but an example and the example
is of hum of wisdom coming hokhmah or
creativity coming from your soul from
your nefesh every one of us has soul
powers which is called in Hebrew clay
clay said nefesh powers of the soul so
one of these so powers are the first of
the ten soul powers is called clay
Oklahoma the power of wisdom a form of
creativity how and what happens when the
clay a
mahathma comes from the nefesh from the
soul to being realized
so he says it takes two formats it has
two methods one is the first idea being
that there even exists this power
meaning to say that that I that I can
experience it somehow that I know it's
here now though if not only do I believe
in trust and learn and understand that
the soul has so powers but if someone
says could you tell me when you've
touched and tasted the clay of HA Kozma
so the rebus says yes when there is
something that I'm struggling to
understand and all of a sudden the idea
hits me and I say ah aha I got it
whatever that that have Rucka he used
the word have Rucka that flashed that
lightning boat that's the ham choice
I'll say
Hunter ceceo means that is the finding
of the sable that you have found a
logical plat place of logic in your mind
that somehow addresses your dilemma
nevertheless at this very point you
still don't have enough matter and
material to grasp it so it's only in the
CUDA form and it's called Nicolas
catalysis or other in other words
Nicolas are seho it's been a good of
seho it's the quintessential point of
that logic of that of that piece of
information but it's very very raw
that's very raw and it and it doesn't
lend itself yell me for elaboration it
lends itself just to a bright lit up
face Wow but more than that you don't
know but you know it feels right I got
it I can't figure it out but I know it's
something hit me now you have to go if
you want to bring that into articulation
and development you have to do the spec
second step which is yagi assess a whole
being diligent and exerting effort with
that piece of logic and unless you do
that you can have the most genius ideas
and we all know people who are geniuses
and ideas when it comes to the bank
account there's a big zero when it comes
to relationships there's a big zero what
happened the so bright the sole genius
but in the real world their failure
because there was a breakdown between
the first aspect of Safehold
then the CUDA
and the second aspect of the cycle the
ADEA and and I just for a moment this is
so real though us it's so real because
think of the time when you were in
school yes even school and college
university how many people you knew who
were very bright they had excellent
heads but they didn't exert themselves I
I know it in my time here Shiva then we
were the one class there was a class
above us the cliffs above us above us
the students were much brighter they had
much better heads both an understanding
and a grasping and in depth and I know
who they are you know these are like
friends of mine and we were less that
way but nevertheless some of us excelled
more and know more than they do in
learning and you know why because
because we didn't have such a good hats
compared to their excellent hands we
have good ads but not compared to theirs
it way above us they took it for granted
I recall a hadith of Russa in morristown
this is when I was you know 1920 in the
yeshiva it was like a genius head I
couldn't keep up with it with him but I
knew many more my murim than he did many
more faceted discourses why because I
kept paid you know at it and learn more
and more and more in other words I
exerted the effort and the situation he
get it one two three that's fine but
this there's so much more information so
it happens to be that those big most I
think I would be right in saying most
and if not I say many but whether it's
many or most such people end up not
excelling as much as people who don't
have that type of a brain and head and
they come out knowing more because they
spend more time in effort and this is
this is I think also an important thing
to teach our children and grandchildren
the importance of effort yogya I go back
to what I told you the other day
remember the birth of the shame small
hill oh right the Ave Jakov of a circle
the suddenness lay of right
he loved Rachel and he hated there that
layer so the shame Schimel says what
does that mean
ruffle it says in Cabela's divorce to
talk layin Kabbalah's it says is thought
Yakko is the youth the Edelen the easily
loves to talk a lot but Papa Papa Papa
when it comes to thinking to sit and
think I don't got time I have patience
so the whole idea the whole idea the
whole idea of the Barney laser the whole
the whole idea of the idea is something
that is difficult is difficult for the
average person so what that ever says
over here in this Mimer is if you want
then the puller of sagal if you want the
kernel of logic to to really make a
difference in your life you can't say I
got the idea and zepho you can have
great ideas but it's not going to come
to fruition you need to have your gear
and that ever says this is the
difference between Russia and other
Kaiser but your sure is a direct hit
you know the missile that is a direct
hit it's a direct hit but the question
is what happens after the missile hits
directly does the direct hit what
happens later and we see you know just
ocean air to throw look how the Israelis
have bombed and bombed and bombed the
tunnels and a year later they're back at
it
another tunnel because you haven't
removed the problem right so it was a
direct hit it was it was a direct slam
but nevertheless because it was you know
one two three and it didn't deal with
the greater issue the pain is still
there the problem is still there this is
what we learnt yesterday now we're going
to turn to page sixty sixty seven and we
are on the fifth line and here and he
says of this will hate one two three
four five six on the sixth line the
fourth word for the Hank Phillippi me
shall you dare you gear of Sahar suma
therefore someone who through his great
effort are you a damn ETSI Mecca Hoffman
Basel scholar arouses the true depth of
wisdom in a set of a certain idea the
person is diligent and works at it and
spends nights and days working at it
comes the real depth of that idea that
he's thinking about how do yo feel it
galleries Bazaar the Louie Huff my sub n
cakes such a person could reveal all
kinds of revelations ad infinitum now
this is interesting
let's say you're observing Kozma on a
mathematical issue or an investment
issue or a medical issue whatever the
field is that ever says the hokhmah was
in your soul remember everyone has an
official soul and has what we call the
clay flesh on average the powers of the
soul the powers of the soul are so
powerful that it they will not only when
you exert effort not only will you
explore information in this field but
the overly godless here look at the
words you'll be able to Revere
the Louie Hoffmans are their case add a
fan item type of fields of wisdom it's
not that it boss
since I'm studying mathematics and I'm
spending time on math and I'm sitting in
the unto figure out the Improv the
answer to the solution to the problem
I'll only have good information and
knowledge on on math but ever says no
when you tap in to the clay of hokhmah
7fs the overall player Hoffman in the
nefesh becomes larger bigger is extended
so all aspects of hokhmah will benefit
understand in other words but but by
understanding and learning math better
agamotto better the hostile you derive
through the math whatever all these
fields you're on any field that you
decide to access later will benefit as
well because what you've done is you've
made an expansion in the class mahathma
SEPA nefesh and the class i hope my
seven average is unlimited that's what
he says the louie quite hummus I paint
case which is a very interesting point
that fine because you know sometimes we
say Oh in this area I'm no good you know
you write it off you know I remember
when I was in the Shiva with from from
young age I was weak in math yeah why is
weakened math probably part of my brain
has an issue with that type of thinking
I also have a teacher who it was very
impatient and he would not I didn't
understand and I asked that he did he
wouldn't you know he got very upset when
I asked questions and to the point where
sometimes he you know insulted me and
and it probably took a toll on my my you
know growing up in class and I just said
to myself forget it I'm not gonna go
math so when it came time for the
regions what did we do
we either cheated or we
sat next to a friend who's who was a
good math and when the proctor turned
around he gave us the answer you know
that's the way it was and probably still
is but what's the point the point is
what what learning today what I'm
learning today from this minor is that
the Korea has Hosmer is expanded and if
you really exert yourself in one area
you'll benefit in other areas as well
because not only is the topic at hand
being explored and developed properly
but it taps in and it enlarges the the
sole power of karma and the sole power
of Hawkman laser is infinite
mashenka big illiac efficient in
sympathetic later Yasir different
conversely is the chaos of huffman
that's a direct hit which we call the
direct light are you sure which comes me
clarify my skill comes from the power of
say ho how the yes was a case of wool it
has an end in other words when you come
up with an idea it's just this field I
have an idea in this field I got it what
did you get for the dilemma and issue
and probably you're trying to solve in
whatever field something you say aha wow
I got it but you you want you want at
that time you can't say that about
another area because the other air you
don't have you can't say I got it pursue
a mindless I've laid the Balu of the
truth I like the potato mixtures and
that ever says this is the benefit
you only hear this the notion of chuhwa
versus the notion of Plato misses the
Taylor mentor sympathetic later your
potato mitzvahs are straightforward it's
direct hit do this and don't do that
right you listen I've been listening to
a few podcasts from people who will
perform them became not from bottom line
they can philosophize to the day to
tomorrow they don't want a direct hit
think the you know they
they don't want this anymore they want
to have fun Tiger mitches is limiting so
their tournaments this is yes are you
know you're supposed to do but father II
did the truth oh but their affair Fraser
chuva is exciting I really like jouvert
it's the rebound
yes I have stuffs in my head and now I'm
gonna take the stuffs and dump it out
and turn it upside down and show that
it's so stupid and show that it's so a
waste of time
well that experience is very very
engaging and exciting we call that what
I am praising the rebound the retreat
the return the missouri's any by waiters
who decided on my table mile now say
when it comes to this activity which is
what to arouse an abundant mercy on your
soul that you do to them
he nikasha and satyrs he'll meet this
when the gala for a McLean is not sure
when the arousal is truthful and it
touches the depth of your soul he says
and give us now as lead him on it
touches you in the teeth initial nefesh
in the depth of your soul
so the visor is mushy a day or maven
great relationship will say I said he'd
meet up with me the AMIA booth
I love usually some acrylic are in
addition to the fact that you allowed
yourself to fall so low to immerse
yourself and allow materialism and
corporeality to overpower your
spirituality which is a part of a sham
the holding on an agar stream government
were caught and even when it's
permissible matter - my brother Michaela
yes his mom he has all the time to speak
idle chatter to speak about whatever it
is I have plenty of time and not only
Shabbos afternoon between you know
chakras and Mincy or or or after you
know the Sudha but whenever it is if
someone has a good joke there good luck
Senora I'm there a good waste of time
got all the time in the world but
finally Murdoch later
when it comes to learning I don't have
time what do you mean to comfort about
Rob a dolphin's classic for 40 minutes
35 minutes whatever it is I love the
time whatever you don't have the time
you do have the time I bet you there's
35 minutes throughout the day that you
waste time that you're involved in
farmer Taylor sayin Advisory's he
neglected life had a pull off Lima in
addition to this bubble my sir
great is the Shonda helper who clima the
embarrassment
she year ladies ever Ilima Emmis you're
gonna be so embarrassed in the world of
truth you're gonna come out up there and
they're gonna have mirrors all around
you and you know they're gonna show you
in the mirrors most admires what are
they gonna show us in the mirrors all
the time we wasted it's gonna come back
right in front of our face you I
remember some Thursday what I don't need
more I need all of us Thursday afternoon
and isn't this time you were talking
about whatever it was right here
Trent something you look at it you turn
around to the other side
two years ago end of Yom Kippur after
capparis and after chakras you were
standing in front of Carl by shul and
wasting time so it's gonna come back and
they'll amendments and you're going to
become all embarrassed because it's
right in front of us you can't deny it
the same so this the rebus says to those
that are business people he doesn't let
go now now he goes further to the to the
watts of golf to the HPA oh hey hi Ariel
does that sit and learn in the tenth of
theta
her ice cream potato mrs. Abbas those
that sit and learn simply tired on they
do mitzvahs they ain't never ate some
lady mr. premiers but guess what they
don't want to know about the premiers
the inner the Hasidic the Kabbalistic
the the the Madras ik don't give me that
stuff just tell me I just learned Holika
and Gomorrah finito
leave me alone with Cibola leave me
alone
this would be alone with with Mooser
leave me alone with rush that's quote
all premia s-- all that says they look
at the next line you know you're gonna
flip out in a Glendale hats are great
will be the pain she yell ahem boy oh
man is that they'll having the world of
truth why because the mirrors for them
and the world of truth is you missed an
opportunity and the original rights
listen to this they are result rights
listen to this that a person who doesn't
attempt to go through all parts of Torah
will have to be reincarnated again and
again until he learns all parts of the
Torah so why not do it the first time
right at least right - so you'll have to
turn your spot of your neshama will be
lacking something and when you don't
have enough oxygen you have a big
problem so that's why they never uses
the word you only grade the lots are yes
[Laughter]
[Music]
very good laser that was a great word
and it's an original an original piece
very good that's very good I gotta
remember yeah well that's a good one
okay right good good good
okay close my immidiately miss Leveaux
oh my goodness I love all of this if if
one touches the inner core of their to
some and and arouses this old in the
some
the methods in the early phases there so
what that rebounding light that
reflecting right earth laser my little
mom she harassed him Robin it arouses
and draws the abundant mercy the odds
were saying some of the essence of God
the net buffer mates the high and your
change from death to life to be alive
and that's again to your question you
asked a few days ago laser how is it
possible you have to come to the Seder
this round robin and that's that if that
doesn't happen from laying in bed or
just you know it comes from Fritzie it
comes from her Lavanya it comes from
regretting it comes from beingness
blaming and there's no other way these
all these quick fixes and all these
Gulas and all the stuff it's good for a
rainy day and there is a rainy day I'm
not I'm not put point that there is a
time there's no question about it
but the the our activity we if we rely
on a rainy day we're in big trouble we
have to know that our activity is there
as the determine shibata's I know Polly
dear mama now we are day workers we are
here to make yummy I know Paul a I think
it's tomorrow we are workers that your
mom of day we have to bring light days
light we have to bring light into the
world there were workers we have to work
hard like I told you the other day my
father taught me you know growing up and
I'm sure some of your parents or
grandparents said the same thing to
Europeans that came over you know I
think of you look at all these people
whose grandchildren great children are
in the real estate in the Bronx and in
New Haven and here and there and I talk
to them sometimes they're living off the
fat of their grandparents and great
campus came over in the forties
post-holocaust
you know had some money worked very hard
put away money bought real estate and
now entire families are living off one
building but Hashem but it's not for
that I'm not Paul of the Amana they
wouldn't be there
I remember I was speaking to there was a
year Los Angeles Ruggero Weiss
he's already little man smooth-on well
and and this david weiss by Barry Weiss
was a big ball to duck I mean a real
bounce Tucker like from Europe and he
was and he was a sham blessed him and he
had nursing home still does and I was
talking to him once I was close to my
aunt and he and I asked her his stories
he told me that he went around in the
end when he came in 46 47 48 than that
of 49 in LA selling milk selling milk
and and he said it to me was they broken
a broken heart than a broken heart and
yet that's the way it was what do you
mean I'm gonna sit I'm not gonna take
the job because of pasta dish no he went
out of my McCook the father another Los
Angeles a survivor from Galicia Belzer
mr. finer easy much much finer was his
name so he's though they came to New
York in 51 he started to paint building
said he can build things and storefronts
and went around and cleaning the windows
and then later on they put away money
and invested and he was not much real my
point is that in order to accomplish his
sighted astronomer Robin it takes effort
let's continue and finish fazil your
high enemy your mind it goes back to the
opening sentence of the minor which is a
can I share chapter 6 if I ain't
know me or my him you will be enlivened
through two days and Rashi says shames
nay it concern him normally what is your
my in your in my M is two days there's
your him and there's your my in Russia
comes along as I said there and says
snai eaten and the rebus first question
in the beginning of the mind if you
recall was what is rush what is Russia
want and what is Russia obviously he's
saying something it's that two days is
two days no Rashi says two periods so
the neighbor says indeed the Russia is
referring to two different methods and
periods which we've been discussing and
what they are though a state Lim has
them the time in this world who are
harmless ASA it now is where it counts I
am today
4h de la Maya who waves to keep ascribe
the time of Islam oppas will receive the
reward but I still Ikki
they are tato mistress you receive godly
vitality and energy from the potato
mixes that you did revive leadership 11
the service of the heart diverting to us
of balaam herself but the EKG Lillian -
notwithstanding that period the main
thing is the third period biomass we see
the first continues on the third day
then this yellow furnace we shall live
in front of him face to face with God
but on the third day only not on your
maíam why because hue sorry she this is
a third period not only is it the third
day it's not just in other words what's
the implication the only of three days
one two three there's a connection
no it's a totally different experience
if she is our Mason when a person is
revived there's an area that was dead
and and and finished and seemed that way
and becomes alive
Wow what it's a different category she's
that bug.toss chaos they are slaves my
BAE's eaten specifically this comes
after completing the first two periods
vigilant Shikoku Lloyd which is in a
loom Haase the first two stages then
comes remit healer son of the highest be
me they are three doctors say so
protocol
you'll have a more intense in a
different type of experience and like I
told you that I had this Minister
resurrection B'gosh pious from when I
wasn't feeling well - what I started to
use the sleep a person not that we
should have to use it we should we
shouldn't have to use it but overnight I
said I felt a resurrection it was an
area that was so difficult for me and
and and and and you know bringing
tiredness and
listen and and sluggishness and
everything else and overnight
well the sudden fresh no more drooling
no more headaches no more falling asleep
at the wheel
normal falling asleep at the computer
here summation a little to you summation
so imagine now the same type of kiss our
nation in an area in your life which you
had written off because when you look
back and you do a study and you take
inventory you see in this area you
failed and all the sudden you say
oh that was coming from a place that was
already defined let me tap in to an area
that is healthy and new here's a Mason
how by becoming more serious and series
doesn't mean won't be around who are you
that's not serious that's ego that's
stupidity of ego serious means that
inside yourself outward you could smile
and you could laugh but inside you take
a real look at your life and you say
which area needs repair and which area
am I going to tackle and really confront
and it's very very hard for all of us we
know this to confront an area that is
that we don't like looking at but I'm
telling you if you look at that area
from another perspective because you
didn't let us see this until now and now
you're learning for sinners and now
you're in a different place in your life
you're older you're more mature you're
you know you have a family you have
children grandchildren whatever then you
have a different experience guys have a
great Shabbos we're starting a new -
Sunday everyone we make the best of it
as the previous level said left LaHood
is the parsha in which we live every day
with our Rama V no no Elsie says is a
column looking a week of depression we
because of the marble but Lakota is a
happy week because every day we live
with avril lavigne oh yes
yes stock market collapse
I was thinking accomplice but oil and
they had their videos playing and the
rep aside on the video the ripple was
already dead many years yeah he says
what if marinara our motto it means that
I'll probably use the kindness of each
and every day of his life to the maximum
so when he was 25 30 40 and he had
physical coordinates and who has 60 70
80 90 nyet is genius as mine uses GPS at
his mind and it was a hundred twenty I
was fond of me you thought fun we use
the profilers of every aspect of every
minute is like and then he says you
looked around then everybody to explore
about how much money they lost did any
did you ever see somebody crying about
how much time they lost Clara yeah she
Clara blades a good Shabbos thank you
for the word thank you yes yes
