Maamar Zochor #8 - Yesh haGashmi and Yesh haMiti - G-d is in the physical - Maintains friendships

good morning we're learning the maya mazaka shows and moshe where do you you remember what page we're on week week it's been a little yeah we're we're yeah we're we're on 144. in fact while we're speaking i'm going to send a picture to avraham 145. i'll send it to the group okay and um we're closer to the top we're closer to the top okay um so let us start yeah we were talking here about that when a person is dedicated to the to to to hashem they use the gosmius and they put aside the humbrius a word that's not usually used in in in torah liturgy and that is there's geshen gashmi is physicality and there is homer use which means co-poor reality it's in in uh it's the coarseness and uh the yiddish word grubkite the coarseness of taking physicality and making it coarse now this this is a very important idea outside of this mimer that khabar siddhas sees in hashem creating the world ex nila which is called yeshbiyan something from nothing that the yesh moshe the creation of yesh of matter is positive and you know how positive it is there is a uh a statement brought in siddhis and it's even brought from earlier and this how this is how it goes yes me and the yes are one of the same the physical matter yes me and the true existence the true yes which is god almighty yes from the word ms are one of the same the has a lot of discussion about this and however in the sikhs as well what does it mean how can you say that god the true yesh and the physical are one of the same an explanation is that it's the concept that's the same the concept what's the concept listen to this i think this is going to throw you for a ride this is going to give you something to think about what does the yesha gosh me think what does the physical matter think if we were to go into the mindset of your chair now what would your chair say this is what your chair would say i know it sounds like a a fairy tale but this is what i'm doing now with you i'm practicing meditation about meditation on you we always are looking for what's khabad meditation this is an example of meditation in thought not in words you ask yourself the chair that i'm sitting on what does it think it's doing okay well it's providing a place for me to sit on fine then you ask the chair and the chair will respond chair how do you come to be the chair says because of some nagar some craftsman craftsperson some some workman person carpenter thank you carpenter made a chair okay where did that carpenter come from from his parents where did his parents come from from their parents well where did first man come from adam it says embarrasses from hashem aha everything comes from hashem made everything so in other words you chair that are providing convenience and comfort for us to sit on come from god so why don't you answer me right away chair that what is your content not making it possible for one to sit on but being a vessel for god why don't you give me that response and you know the answer is because the chair is is not thinking that way the chair thinks i have created myself it's only when i reflect back and ask all these questions and make all these points about the chair that if i'm thinking correctly and i'm not drugged up or intoxicated i understand that the chair comes from god but if i if it but but otherwise if i don't go into this mindset and questioning and thought process the chair says i created myself and we have this in the torah of parsons my bar mitzvah what pharaoh says paris says and i created the river you power created the river what that statement of paro is saying it's demonstrative of the way gushmius as goshmas is in this world thinks that it doesn't have a beginning it doesn't have someone who made itself that is the feeling of gashmius when it's bereft of the spiritual mindset now is that true or false that kashmir doesn't have a father figure a mother figure it's a lie but that's the fact that gosh mia's denies creator creation on its own says i'm here who made you i have no idea who made me i made myself like paro said i made myself i am a god i don't have to go to the bathroom and everything else that comes along with it now this is the yeshua yashagashmi let's talk now about the yesh ho amity god the true existence does god have a creator no god is the creator so does god think that he that he doesn't have a creator yes is it true it's true so in other words there's a commonality between the thinking of the yashagashmi and the thinking of the yeshua amity both share a common thought we created ourselves the difference is maisha wake up this is this is pearls of hasidis moshe you're not going to hear this anyway i'm telling you i'm not bragging i'm just telling you the facts and this is so important this because this is a fundamental teaching citizen i know we like to his story and anecdotes and ruby dolphins should entertain us every morning but this is sidness siddha says siddha says that there's a commonality between the thinking of the yeshua gosh me the physical existence i made myself i'm my own boss i have no creator and god almighty the yeshua who truly doesn't have a creator because he is the creator comes along the middle arab and says i believe in in bashar i think it's in bashar in karaskaya i think that's the red citation that the the rabbi him give later and he says there that yeshua meeting the yeshua gosh me are connected so this this is a a perplexing statement and the explanation is as i just shared with you in the name of the rabbi and and the masb that although the sense the sense of of existence in an independent existence of the yeshua is baloney is a lie is false but the notion the idea is the truism what's the truism that god doesn't have a beginning god doesn't have a creator so because god doesn't have a creator there's some element in the physical manner that emulates that feeling of god however in a crooked way but but because it emulates it and there is that commonality in their thinking that makes gashmius and god one and when we transform goshmias we connect to the essence of god the creator whereas everything else the angels the souls the stars the moon this everything else has a creator has a beginning so it's called the hasidis manifestations it's not what we call in hasidis essence where do you find the essential bond only between god almighty and his pure essence known as the yeshua miti and the actual yesh existence the yashagashmi which is which is also gashmias and they too these two god and gosh means share a common bond and this on this with this we understand moshe why has put such a doggish emphasis on gasmius but not kashmir is the way we've been speaking about eating chunked and freshing and indulging that's ugh no to take the child and to make a broker and to say a divinitator then you're extracting from the gosmius its highest connection to god and that's wanted and needed so what part do we discard avraham we discard the taiva within it that's our job to get rid of this goes back to still on the the point you made a week ago or so about your question about shabbos onnik shabbos of course olenek shabbos but remember it's only shabbos it's not olneck bit me pleasure of my stomach if it's only bit me out the door hey you're gonna get sick you're gonna get fat it's unhealthy and it's not godly you want own a shabbos so the next time someone tells you eat more sleep or shabbos owning shabbos ask say really are you doing this because of shabbos or are you doing it because of your own self and if it's your own self hey say it say it that way if it's owning shabbos you don't need as much you don't sleep as much you don't need to eat as much on the contrary or if you do that make it be a holy experience this was my monologue for today's share um is it clear okay yeah yeah i just i just want to share a thought it's interesting i i had um a guest on sunday at our home and he's someone who who um was discussing that he's trying to uh write a book and his book is um based on um essentially like a rejection of biblical criticism biblical criticism and in particular is trying to bring the also a departure from those who try to um explain the existence of the kurdish parcel but from a rationalist perspective he's not trying to go that way like he's trying to bring the kurdish more into the picture and at the same time basically essentially in a certain sense let's just say like prove that a course borrow exists to those who let's say would you know would question that um and i said to him specifically he's not not he's not a bad person he's not he's right that's not coming from that background at all i think has extremely minimal exposure to his citizen general but nonetheless i said to him you know i said you should really explore khabar hasidis because i think you know chris would have a lot to say on the topic in particular the rabbi who had a scientific background anyway i'm just mentioning that because it's interesting that you're speaking about the galilean because i think that that's something which is pertinent exactly to what this person i was welcome you're welcome to share my email with him and if he wants to you know bounce off some ideas uh uh i'll be more glad to you know try to um assist him you know um thank you and you're 100 right a person who's writing a book on that topic would benefit heavily and you might want to add uh let him know that um there was a book that was written written in the 30s or 20s and 30s the unauthorized bible you heard of that no uh unauthorized that which you said it was bible criticism by you know uh heretic skeptics you know who were knowledgeable and then there was a book written called the bible unauthorized uh right which was a response to that book and they say that the reber i'm not i don't either he wrote it or if or he was he was very involved with it this is during the 1940s the frieda could ever i heard um uh encourage that ever to help oh the writer was someone by the name of moose the book can be that can be purchased that they can get check it online um i think h moose that's a pen name i've heard that before right right so so and then know today who this moose is and that ever was very involved in in helping him uh again either write it or direct him you know and it's on this topic so i would hope that this person is aware of this because it's uh this is from the i think the first you know in america the first a book that was written in response to that then there's also um rabbi schoenberg shapiro who has a program on col every thursday night or so um you know sharing archives of his father-in-law rabbi nissen mendel one of the rebels secretaries right so he has over the you know last few years shared i think some information about this he i believe has a lot of knowledge in the in this topic and um i think if this person were to reach out to him you know um he he he will he would uh you know discuss talk to him and um and he has he has the the the material you know what i mean i'm not saying he's going to give him the material i don't think he would give him the material but he would he would talk to him enough to um maybe point them in the right give him more good directions i'm just saying that okay let's get to the maiman page it's uh six lines on the top of the indian tickets yourself over india is the right one two three four five six seven lines from the top the third the fourth word after the comma or the indian taking of approach and the rabbit says the freedom says one needs to part in particular correct their deficiencies in in a detailed way not just say i'm going to get better that's worthless i'm going to die into three years i'm going to diet yeah really if you don't say how what you're going to do it's worthless the same thing here how do you like that i remember i told you about my question to the uh references tell me one deficiency of the guy of the buffer right everyone has a certain protein did you ever meet a person who doesn't have a certain protein one part at least one deficiency hey american whether it be in mind whether it be on a heart or if the person has a deficiency in bad habits okay so either an intellectual deficiency either a emotional deficiency or a practical deficiency in your day harmony is however when we dedicate ourselves completely to the spirituality you are very deeply say they receive us alive then we gradually correct the problem in an organized cat way is in addition to the to this method of of correction there is okay practically what are you going to do to correct your anger what are you going to do to correct your um your uh race uh your impatience a b and c okay fine says that but in addition to that you have to know that in detail what the problem is then you have to have a particular corrective approach to correcting it and number three he says in addition to that at that time god's end god's light or elokey shines into your soul oh when you have a lot of when you have light coming into the room it pushes aside darkness shall amidst roy zuma's body it puts aside the ugly middles and they become an old they become obliterated when god shines into a situation you become a different person when a person is one second uninstance oh is overwhelmed with with god's energy god's presence god's light things change without here without getting into the nitty-gritty details and that's why of the problem that's why the overall advice in the chabad approaches you learn toyota you learn this and you immerse yourself in that you'll see in in in a short while if not you know a while you'll be a different person and those things that bothered you and you got over it i'm not saying that you know you we discussed many times there's still things in the depth of the heart but that's that's not what we're talking about we're talking about here you know bottom line i have i anger if if if you all of a sudden become immersed in in in in in hasidis in the torah and that's your topic you have less time to get angry i'm not saying you can't get angry when you learn torah and when and when you're a we we know plenty of that right but but it bothers you see the difference between learning through this another is whether it bothers you people always say oh i was about to i did this i did that uh-huh and so i i was from from birth i didn't do it but you don't think i don't i have an urge to do it so what's the point the point is that by learning siddhis it bothers you that's the difference you before you became about super you didn't know enough that should bother you i was i had that knowledge so but now we're both on the same now you know so it bothers you the only really key and the bothering you puts you in a different place because once it bothers you and once and once you're thinking about it you're going to do children a little more a little less yes you're innocent go ahead i'm sorry i remember when i was in milestones when i first came i was having a lot of problems and i went to 50 round olympics brother oliver young and he told me listen he said just you love yourself and you trusted us in the mind forget about everything else you know and that was that was the rebels approached to buckle him they wrote to the rebel about their you know what we call sins of the youth nocturnal or emission of seed and all that right masturbation etc and the rebels you can look into hundreds of letters the rebels answer was keep on learning memorize torah and and go on you know we're not going to now do tikkunim as others do because as soon as you're getting engaged with the tikkunim you're basically taking the problem making it uh prominent you're giving prominence to the problem we don't want to give promise to the problem we know we have a problem we know we have an issue whatever the issue is yes my yeah i just want to say that um regarding what jonas said and what we're talking about right now yes um it's it's interesting that because of the advent of technology the ability for a person to let's say go off to shiva and sort of immerse themselves to try to i mean like i remember like like i did um because of technology today think it's i think it's it's from what i'm this is from what i've heard from speaking with other people who are in and so forth it's it's such a much more of a challenging place to try to put some uh on a voda to make that effort because we're so inundated constantly with with so much and this i'm not saying a condition here but i'm just mentioning that what jonasson said i i totally hear i totally hear that but today for a person to go like a baltimore person become you know to go and immerse themselves in yeshiva it's it's it's i think it's much more challenging i'm just mentioning that right right by the way i wanted to ask you after joining this comment i was going to ask you um when you were at chappelle's what was the approach they took to to an issue like if if if a student you know had an issue with masturbating and and or whatever else but you know a serious uh a breach issue a very issue what would the masjid or whatever they call the what would they what would they advise me would you you know we'll yeah i think that i think that they're that their approach first of all they're pro this again in this particular institution their approach is definitely not one of i would say for the most part tikkunim or i think their approach is much more the idea of emphasizing the positive and to to move forward for a person to you know be be you know uh you know be involved in in in in good things and learning tower etcetera or voter i i don't i mean again it's not it's not a hasidic place not a pacific approach right but but they they that was their uh that was their approach just yeah very very i would say just very down-to-earth normal health right so so in other words they didn't use like the muscle approach for the most part no really not i for the no not not not a hardcore muslim approach no no i would say there might be some the unique things about chappelle's darker gnome just it's a uni it's it's it's a it's a there's different rabbem there's a different there's some different um approaches but by and large it's um yeah i would if let's put this way the muscle element that would be there is much more in a very low key does the yeshiva still exist today oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that's wonderful yeah it's so many years so beautiful to hear about yeshiva it's open so many years you know because yeah for 40 44 45 years yeah that's 44 years i'm sure i'm sure you have uh you have and can have a great impact on alumni and people uh i know you keep up with them and um secretary was very much into keeping up with friends from from yeshiva he it was a very very important that came from the rebel there are previous whatever you know not to to and something i personally also try to keep my friends um from 30 40 years ago i just met a friend i don't know if i told you i met him at lakewood we grew up together from first grade 1967. through 1970-71 um no uh through 1907 yes yeah yeah something like that 75 i forget when then he became uh uh he went above and he left lubovic and he left lost touch with him and i just saw him for the first time last year 2021 how many years is that uh almost 50 years and but he was on my radar he was at all and i reached out yeah but i just want to say that this is something i know myself i'm sure many others to deal with on a day-to-day basis i think it's very challenging it's there's no question it's extremely challenging to maintain contact not just maintain contact but to try to grow the relationship with those who are either family members or friends or so forth from let's say let's say friends family is family but still those who right let's say for those you know like those that say those of us who have made changes have become observant have embraced that right and then and and then try to at the same time maintain relationships with those who are not have have not made those life decisions right i i hear you about i hear you loud and clear but i i wanna i want to add them go ahead and go i wanted to say moisture that today one of the blessings of whatsapp is that you can maintain and create relationships with that simple whatsapp i'm telling you on a friday afternoon if you just what's up five ten people good shoppers two words nice nice look you know you know that can go so far with people who are in a very different place than you and um i i understand the lemon issue that you're referring to i understand it and and i know about it but it's still important to keep up because you never know the time they're going to need you and want to reach out to you by the way right that's 100 percent i i'm saying i agree i'm saying it yeah i'm just saying it's it's it brings with it it's can be ex brings with exceptional challenges yes because yes person it's talking to you about something they're experiencing they're going through life and you can't turn around nobody wants to be judged anyway who are we to judge anyway i'm saying nobody wants to be judged people want love people want appreciation people want a normal relationship but i'm just saying yes but you're you've been you're you're you're 100 right you're 100 you're 110 right we'll continue tomorrow it was a good discussion we didn't learn so much inside but i think we had some very important things to talk about including the monologue so um make sure you file that because one day you're going to want to get back and say hey rabbi dolphin explained that and the sheer ones you know 20 years ago have a good day tomorrow take care bye-bye
