Pleasures & Indulgences are here to test us, cosmic reality- Igeres HaKodesh 25b- Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so we're learning we're on page after the period in the regular like about 12 lines from the bottom the AL here wrote a letter to the at time at the time they were called M when they got a hold of the book in 1793 of the and they found there that it says that Hashem rests even in go non-jews and they felt that's heresy and they came out with another excommunication against so the Al and comes here to defend his rebies rebi the holy BMV idea and the first thing he says is that the bov that the language that the book was written which is Hebrew isn't the precise words that the B used because the B spoke yish but be that as a may he goes on he goes ahead to explain at greater at Great length the whole concept of how God created the world and we're in middle of that explanation so we we need to get we got to go through it until we get to the uh the point kind of okay so it's known to those that know is a acronym for those that know the esoteric wisdom in other words those that have a familiarity with Caba with Jewish mysticism that the word of God is called with the term that we we use throughout and that is the divine presence this is the term used in in the language of the sages they we use the word and the language for the same idea in the in the in the Holy Zar is the Earthly mother the lower mother mat is like the accompanying the one that accompanies the matron I think it's an English word the matri V if you look specifically at the beginning of over there you'll find the Z explaining talking about this idea but they're one of the same so again is the same idea and what's the idea of the the word of God that animates the physical world and he explains why is called because the word means to dwell indwelling and because it indwells it rests additionally it invests itself in All Creatures to enen them to Enlighten them that's why we give the name to the in the terminology of the cabalists we call this nikra malus we call this with with the name malus kingship the 10th SPH of the 10 aminations the 10th sphas why alame because shil it is the word of the king that dominates when the king's word is is is is publicized everyone knows the king said it everyone follows it's the word of the king because a king conducts his kingship he runs his his his his his kingdom with his words there are other reasons why Mal is called is known to those that study the esoteric teachings and it should be known says when we talk about the concept of a king and how a king with his words he dominates there's different aspects to the Dominion of the king sometimes and and in cabalistic terms there's of the world of in other words yes it is domination coming from the King but the manifestation depends on the realm it's in in the world ofus which is called all godliness it it it's more powerful and Bri it's less powerful on and on what do we mean by it's the word of that en enlivens and creates great Souls who come from the world ofus so they get their animation and their and their liveliness from Mal of take for example the the soul of Adam it's written by him quote and God blew within his nostrils the a living a breath of life and just like The Souls of the Patriarchs and the prophets and those that are similar top of page 278 they were a chariot Mish in actuality to God Mish and they were completely unn in existence to him to the saying say the actual divine presence spoke through the throat of m not only all the prophets and those that had Divine prophecy called the The Voice the sound and the superal speech of God anly speaking enclothed itself in The Voice of the prophets and and in their words and this is it's in a parenthesis but it's a very important teaching is in the world of that we believe saying basically that a prophet and and and and AES is speaks the word of God now naturally believe this about the Reb if not they better check themselves out and find a new rebba okay but this is a pretty much a basic teaching of the so this is all now we go to the second level of this is the word of God that enlivens and creates Souls here they create and they create also angels angels are not in the realm of aus they're pretty much only the realm of because the advantage of of the world of Bri is not like the advantage of the ofus and hence angels are not there then he jumps he jumps over Mal the and he goes to the fourth level again they're all but in different manifestations the word of God that enlivens and creates the world the physical world generally speaking till the foundation of of of of dust and water that's beyond that's below the the Earth in the in the countries in the lands of the non-jews the Vitality of their countries comes through the investment God invests himself in what we call external ministers who are appointed alos over the 70 nations of the world okay there descends a spark from the word of God which is called Mal of the world of action and this illuminates the ministers sh the Heavenly ministers accompass way from above by the the spiritual ministers they don't get an actual investment they they get some from thisin again it hovers over them to them and from that level that hovers over them from there the non-jewish people get their so to be get their from that level birds and domestic animal non-domestic domestic that are all found in the the the non-jewish countries and to the physical Earth to the physical heaven which are the planets so what's the difference he says is that kosher animals get their from Kipas and and he says and The Souls of the idolators Clippers from the other three contaminated Clippers as we learned earlier in Tanya the Heaven and Earth everything within it in the countries of the idolators considered as not in comparison to this to the ministers that are their vitality and their existence remember we're saying that how is it that the minister on Earth can have an impact and it it takes itself from the right so this for example this the the sh the the 70 that we talk about in in in Theos is a connection to the 70 70 so there a concept of the associated with non-jews so says that to compare what they have and what they manifest compared to the source there's no comparison whatsoever and those those spiritual and and then he says and also the the source of the Vitality that the go and others have their Source itself is noncomparable if you compare it to to the spark coming from the word of God that shines upon them from above nevertheless that this is true the Vitality is drawn to them from this reflection it's there but it's an exile it's in slavery it's in jail it's captured that's why we give a name to the energy that's that's that it sustains the non-jews and and animals and everything else we give it a name other gods and they're called gods of gods meaning they know that they have a real God but how are they is look what he says they know that they ultimately come from but it's so diminished that although they know God of gods they consider themselves a God but this God that I am I has a God but the fact that they consider themselves a deity is idolatry and this he says will be eradicated at the time when M comes when death and negative energy will be eradicated we're on next page and then there will be a transformation of all the nations they were all calling the name of God and this also is coined inal as the Exile of the because this energy that's in that's within the non-jews in the world it comes from from the spark of God that's called and therefore and therefore now in the situation it's in it can't it can't release itself because it's it's dominated by the non-jews that and and and the world in the parenthesis says you know where this G come from from the sin of and further once sin became a reality the is reality it's only the H the backside of K is saying in this paragraph an important thing he's making a difference is there between the Gus that the go represent and the Gus that we went into and he says the difference the Gus of the go kind of is a real Gus the Gus of the yeden amongst living amongst nonews that's even a worse of a gus because it's the face going into Gus the is for the non-jews to begin with isn't the pus the continence of God it's a mere reflection so okay it's Angus but when you take the face of the king and you stuff the like Al says in the first section in Tanya into a you stuff it into a into a toilet if it it's it's even worse it's even worse he calls it here a complete and that's why the kazal say when we were exiled to Eed to Rome some say it's Rome is the goes along with them what do you mean the goes along with them because the is who the Jew is it's becomes part of the Jew and when the Jews are in go go were exiled by Rome was ex okay let's continue next paragraph on even though God and His Name are one God's words and God's spirit Spirit of his mouth that's called in the Holy Z that's what that's what's referred to in the zor as God's name God's name is a reference to God's word it's it's one and it and it's United nevertheless coming from this level is divided into four levels different level the four worlds a is an acronym for and the difference that is experienced Vis the four worlds who it's due to contractions and covers many each and every one of these contracts the light and the vitality and it hides it conceals it it shouldn't shine so much in the world of creation as it does as it shines in the world of and in the world the next the third world that's lower than it's through contractions and covers even greater Etc this doesn't make an of a change in the essence of the it's like the the water is pure if you have a blue glass you'll see blue water and green green water all because of the glass that's the maab but the water is the same that that's it's that's a brought in the pares I believe and he says further the the the the O is the same which is the word of in the spirit of God's mouth says even regarding anination of the Vitality in it pierces through the cover and it invest itself [Applause] it's a fascinating thought because it's such a powerful light so although it there's a there's a um a cover it shines through somewhat and ultimately there is even a a shine through a reflection in the physical world the physical material Corporal World by investing itself in Mal of each level explained at L we know that man's soul is comprised of the 10 aminations although they all take itself from God's spirit says and God blew within his nostrils when he talk more specifically within the soul is analogous similar to of the ters that's called with the name father and mother which isos and theid top of page 280 and fear within one Soul these things are an example to theid within God's 10 aminations that called in the small face this refers to the power The Faculty of speech with within one Soul this is analogous to superal speech that's called when a Jew speaks words of he arouses superal speech God speech to unite the with God therefore we have a teaching if you don't say with your with with your mouth with the words and you don't when you bench you don't say blessed are you God King who sustains everything you don't say the words in Hebrew in English whatever when you learn Torah you don't say the words out but you just it's all in the mind say you have not fulfilled your obligation of that Mitzvah just through thought cuz below deer without speech why what's why why can't I be with my mind that's etc etc the answer is because deor Mal is the is the area the manifestation of the and if you don't say it out with deor you're lacking the that's his point you understand this is something I'm sure you didn't hear before normally you learn and the quote in in in why must you articulate with your mouth the words of of your learning because it says you shall speak in them in the words of T and that's true Al here with the name of he explains that there's a a mystical explanation but it has a practical result and the mystical explanation is that we're talking about the here a Unity between you and hem the part of God that's called the means resting and dwelling how does that Express itself through control what is control deeper deer the deeper of a person that's the idea you have another few minutes yes says there is if you talk about the 10 he on the on the holy side there's also the Oppo OPP opposition yes they called the 10 crowns of evil basically here the overall The Souls of non-jews were not you know and all that are drawn from that area guess what they also have of these 10 levels it's known in the book of of of Soul Reincarnation of the it says there's a verse the the domination of man over in man is to him and explains this is the concept that we learned before of the Exile that they are exiled into the negative forces to enen them and to and to have them dominate US during G this idea is is bad to him that's why the non-jews controlled us because their souls come from the invested in them in an exile way and therefore or it's not a good situation it's a bad situation although this needs an elaborate explanation how this is how this is and what this is nevertheless this is the truth the Clippers don't get their energy only for anination comes from the hither two part the backside of Holiness we learned this in when we learned that M we remember like someone who throws a bone to a dog behind his back he has to give him a bone so the the the dog should exist but he's not interested in the dog he goes he goes like that here here doggy so hasem is not interested really in the Clippers so therefore he gives them some energy cuz he needs them to te to exist to test a Jew right to all idea of Free Will so he gives them but in a manner that's called throwing it behind the back and even that that he gives them the little bit that he gives them is through contractions of many curtains spiritual curtains concealments a mighty ones till to the extent that this little amount of energy that does finally seep through ends up in the Caporal world and it gives the non-jews something that we all most of us usually want wealth and honor all physical Pleasures is saying you're running after he's I'm paraphrasing you're running after CPUs cuz that's what it is it's it's basically a derivative of CPUs conver we don't get from we nourish we nurture from What's called the the the the superal face the superal continence as we say each morning and we say every day his face to you each one based on the capacity of to the to the to the highest level I just want to finish the next paragraph it's very short after all of what I've said now that's known to everybody let's get back to the first idea regarding anger say like Shing Idols when it comes to worldly matters and you get angry it's like worshiping Idols because we know everything's from Heaven except the fear of God when it comes to Heavenly matters you can't separate yourself with top of page next page it's not it's not possible to separate high this reason is not applicable the we said it says got angry put in front of this so so that he should have an opportunity to purify himself okay we'll continue tomorrow oh not tomorrow sorry no she tomorrow I have to fly back so mem the will be Thursday have a great day you got to go bye-bye thank you thank you
