the page 171 the monitors still have a
on the Kyle's the [ __ ] looking for the
[ __ ] by tomorrow
the second a new paragraph on them
however the kind of decisive are safe to
bring these ideas that we've been
discussing ill of a holla yes Mayan God
being omnipotent got the in the world's
not outside the idea that heaven is no
closer than Earth - em all of those
ideas that I possess Licata
as I sell us a hoe to bring to be the
cart of it to bring it closer to the
mind Sally man this is what mm elephant
a illidan is a refer this is what's
referred to yet until inhalator isn't
hilarious now if I shed bends his ears
will he not listen will he not hear him
gate said I if he creates the I Haleh
Yabut he won't see I looked it up action
actually the diverse before not diverse
the sound before I think the Sun 93 at
the end that was talking about that was
talking to the trillion to the to the
wicked people to people who are going
against the shell who think they could
do whatever they want and they'll get
away with it so dumb but then comes
along in them in the beginning of just
94 or south 94 he says what do you think
wicked people God doesn't hear your evil
that you're doing God doesn't see your
evil he sees and hears very well what
you're doing from that their ever said
no should earlier in the minor he there
was a whole discussion about God seeing
and hearing and that's how he that's how
he introduced the philosophers because
they say that God is not interested in
us so of course he could hear and could
things could see what he wants to but
he's not interested
and of course mm Ellis is arguing just
the opposite by saying God is interested
because God is not the spiritual
transcendental that's the Hampshire he
but he is they ever once
I was gonna focus now on the idea of
hearing and seeing so kind of this is
gonna bring us back to the beginning of
the minor let's see what he says they
look hydrated moving seemingly it's not
that it's not understood mitosis makes a
Fuss able why does mm Ella grab meaning
why does he why does he quote why does
he discussed these two places these two
powers of the of the soul which are here
see or smear and hearing or stay her
avoiding the eye advisor doctor and why
does he mention specifically the eye and
the ear in other words there are other
parts of the human body that Governor
Miller could have used to describe
Hashem's interest in what's going on and
hence the wicked people just know that
passions would say Hashem start it's all
metaphors it's all metaphors so take the
take to the heart and talk about how you
have heart palpitations and heart
feelings or not and all kinds of the
blood burns no heart use heart as a
metaphor for Hashem interest in the
world and and and and that the wicked
people should know that the God's heart
is pumping or not pumping depending on
their behavior
it doesn't say that he doesn't say that
he doesn't use the heart as an example
he uses the ear and the eye and the
question is why and he continues to
explain actually in you know the idea is
the fish have betrayed this hollow
because with these clickers yes for him
could they heck is Chloe there is an
overall comparison heck there is a
comparison a general comparison I have
one the Ssangyong in commission with my
god it's easier their ever says to
understand the way things operate in
heaven lamella in god's godhead by
understanding the eye and the ear that's
what he says
we'll see we'll see his how he develops
his position that's what he says as an
introduction and each length the u-men's
l dedica muscle their episodes let's
take a muscle to clarifies but all the
Mamata take a human being the person
below on earth
hurry up close to the ocean here they
eat they see and hearing and cleanses
I'm a hobbit embodiment of Dolan they
are two powers that bring together that
I'm a hob they're separate things but
definitely the flood does even if it
wasn't separate things Sammy's led me to
two things that are totally different at
each other and the eyes and the ears
bring them together
Leo is laden with other Mamas and the
eyes in the air accomplish that they
become literally united be - cos they in
such a manner as a snake voted honey
frog it but if dollar Melo made it to
the point that these two separate items
one from the other in the violation
Haman assassins MZ in addition to the
fact that through hearing and seeing
they come together they're beautiful
they're doctors they're United in a otos
in addition to that shame Balaam say
Lisette
that one makes an impact on the other
Lahaina the ignorance atlas local eels
gum declare [ __ ] no got cake there ever
since the idea of you uniting the crisis
could be also with what's called declare
cotton or clarify fluo means the power
of movement Oh Khmer concert APHIS is it
over be ugly when a person grabs
something with his hand honey had yard
doctor Festus exactly the hand that
holds on to the vessel miss I said this
Emily it becomes United with the king
well how do I caught them they become
United based off those mama smothers
together so so one second so what's this
question oh so this question is if
that's the case young me
what's the my love what's the
of the eye of the year he said before
that when you hear something you can
hear opposite things and put them
together when you see something you can
see opposite things separate things and
and and they're together somehow in you
but in your vision whatever says well we
could do the same thing with grabbing
something holding onto something
that's contrary or two things that are
contrary could hold them together so the
quay because back to his original
question what's the virtue of hearing
and seeing that dumb MLS sites those in
the verse and not the idea of grabbing
for example which is grabbing by the way
is is related to what's called the
course that's newer right is the
clarifying the clear horizon and there's
the clay of cotton or movement the
movement of the feet movement of the
hands movement nor so explains in a yes
race at the closest to their schmear the
advantage that seeing and hearing have
you know vice versa mask the macabre
devoting the [ __ ] dipthongs Emerson
in addition to the fact that they that
the unites them things that are separate
they pale in a shared vote in the Frog
and healer he like they clintus appeals
miracle evident purples illustrate the
differences and the advantages that that
seeing and hearing impacts the issues
that does that's being seen and heard
that they they they that they themselves
impact one on the other honey ko effort
man playable zealously
each one has an impact on the other and
he gives a muscle to this while Dennis
muffled I should Alden Maria Pilar when
a person sees a wall
are you having Horace stone a brick my
yang sincere or a picture
she ain't see it tha year whatever it is
howdy half a med let's hear the design
observing the wall that he sees and the
picture the image they seasoned it's
tiring but my
I want in the brain but the a day of his
sight and he knows it Vanessa card over
but my claim and it's engraved his brain
since they said they say he remembers
the wall that he saw the picture that he
saw she got to [ __ ] he not bother
densely it remains with him if he looks
away
am I just drawing something he leaves
his office home office whatever he goes
out the picture still in his mind I'm
sure everything in again you said it
about breaking it down so heaven ain't
in the hadith - the top of 172 next page
hardened cloud you can't compare the
brick or the picture of the wall to the
tomb and to the right to the person door
why not though every new day that they
having the stone is inanimate for other
macabre and yeah it is from the species
called them the speaking species
remember we spoke about the only the
four species inanimate vegetation living
animals and speaking humans so what he
sees is a wall and a brick that's
inanimate who's seeing it the human the
person so one comes from the species of
of the main inanimate and what and and
the person seeing the wall of seeing the
bread to seeing the picture is a human
so the species the domains are a to
polar opposites ones number one and was
number four right
so the never says though evident that
remember the Madaba the name yes my
[ __ ] didn't say hi in between 104 you
have two and three which is vegetative
and living animals you are it's a man of
the diamond it's known that the
vegetation vegetative and the inanimate
head of Zelizer
there is a correlation between the two
the high move development Sameach
and the thigh moved
and the living the animal is separate in
a relatable way from the vegetation in
other words there is an association a
closer association between the in
between the so mass and the fire right
the proof is what's the proof that the
animal eats the grass the grass is
vegetation the animal sky and the animal
walks around eating grass on the field
the close game Matt Damon
surely the animal the domain of the high
is surely separate for from the domain
from the inanimate from the stone right
now right I said that moving half floor
- I'm adopted I'll blame him true
behavior right now this explains to us
as their habit that the that the
difference between the two number one
number for the inanimate and the Livie
and and and the human species is not the
error its behavior rose right Baris
means there is an association there
different here you sin but the still a
relationship when it comes to the human
and the inanimate it's a knowledge there
is no error okay now as we said earlier
that by hardly men that in the inanimate
garcés by nefesh we discussed earlier in
the mind but it does have a soul as well
I will go for it you who are fermented
but nevertheless the body of the
inanimate which is very materialistic
Tyrael Methuselah gondry completely
covers over I'll not say on the sole of
the inanimate so when you look at a
stone you don't see it so you see the
heaviness of the rock the coarseness of
the rock so the flamer
of the rack this hides the soul in the
rock one came back said may I look into
the Miami dyes not so do we find by the
vegetation did not say the Kaddish yes
and my Shaniqua but later the soul
within the vegetation is more
recognizable than it is in the inanimate
why because you see it moving oh do you
see it growing you see the grass is this
short and now a radius taller and taller
the tree grows so there is more
observable recognition of life force
within the physical treat the physical
tree is doesn't hide as much the souls
in the tree as the rock hides the souls
in the rock because the rock if you
don't move it in Spain there and not
moving at all unless the wind blows it
but in itself is heavy and remains where
it is work when it comes to a tree even
if you don't go that's the tree the tree
grows and go to a furnace to see what I
mean so this was the episodes behind
that goofy have hungry in Axum
hamdulillah Mikasa crowd coca our kapa
haka notion the material matter of the
vegetative is not as coarse as the
material matter of the inanimate and
hence it doesn't cover as much the the
soul within it the ocean will be minify
and that ever says this idea is even
more so in the living kingdom animals
did not see ah see Eunice the soul that
makes the animal bhai alive right
McKenna's Jason is more recognizable the
gun show
there's been me that you do all favor go
fight and in a way the soul of the
animal in a certain way but me that how
you doing it dominates over the homer
the material body of the animal and
that's why you know that I'm bond says
that certain animals that are not kosher
if you are look at their their what they
are you understand why they're not
kosher because they have let's say a
nature of being cruel
so the cruelty which is kind of the soul
of the animal dominates the physical
body of the animal that the animal them
is a cruel animal the cruelty the
cruelty is not coming from the physical
body of that the physical body of of
this animal Nana madam I was saying
what's the difference in their
tendencies let's say a tool number what
even a cat or the mother says we learn I
think it's nice from a fad all right
from a cat right isn't that a tomorrow
that it
what right exactly so that neither what
is a come from what for the body of the
cat no it's coming from the inner drive
of the cat meaning the soul of the cat
and by the way I mean this would be an
argument to those that have pets and
things like that and I'm not here saying
you should have your dogs I know that's
a big issue and the Chairman's people
with dogs have not going there now but
I'm just saying this idea I've been to
homes of cos edition through people all
that happens fish fish that there are
certain animals or certain species of
the living species that are more
sensitive and they could the soul their
soul is more
it's more sensitive enhance their their
behaviors more sensitive and it can
maybe bring to you you know more
sensitive type of behavior but that's
that's another discussion the reason I
mentioned that is because you we see
clearly from the Gemara that you learn
me those from the animals both good and
bad and why is that because the the the
nefesh of the animal is either driven
this weird or that way so what do we see
that the helmet of a physical material
bit makeup of the animal is controlled
by the sole of the animal and hence the
difference in the actual behavior of the
physical animal the half these baits are
Meraki the difference between the
vegetative world and the living species
who possess it isn't the fact that
Cimmerian a gambit Aquos am i go saying
it is that that so man the vegetative in
its ultimate advantage here are a few
feet GU funny thomas your face and -
aloof to vada it is a physical beauty
that relates to the body of the
vegetation itself the enema - Thomas
Jefferson on others it doesn't denotes
the the virtues of the soul within the
vegetation so for example but we spoke
yesterday about the beautiful Japanese
garden you have beautiful the trees and
all of that right nevertheless as nice
as they are they
it's niceness its beauty tells you about
what the physical tree when you look at
a tree you don't see what type of energy
the quality of the energy
in the tree you have no idea whereas
when it comes to the animal when you
look at an animal you study the animal
you understand the makeup of the animal
you relate more to what's behind the
animal so one second so that's why I
don't know if even Satanism and just the
thought that comes to me that this is
lame I'm Ella was able to understand the
language of the animals so we learn we
usually learn shot this for slo-mo was
so bright that he knew the language a
thought just came to me it might be
different there might be in addition to
that he saw the touchably me the inner
drive within animals which includes
language and that's what it means he
understood language and I'm not I'm not
I'm not disagreeing with what the
governor says that flame my mother
understood the language of animals I'm
analyzing that idea to also include and
maybe primarily include he understood
and saw the highest in the animal why
because the highest an animal is more
observable for slam that was observable
where to the point where he actually
understood their language and for you
and I it's um it's understandable much
less of a degree but nevertheless we
understand that the this particular
animal has this type of Drive ie a soul
this type of a nefesh and another one
another one but when it comes to a tree
and and grass and and vegetation yes we
see it's growing and since it's growing
we know that there is something behind
the growth because the growth itself is
demonstrative of the energy but
nevertheless it's still not as clear and
observable yes you knew you wanted to
say something
[Music]
yes the Rev the Rebbe when he spoke
about you know not to avoid educating
children with with non kosher animals
including the teddy bears and all that
you know and busily and all that thing
you know and by the way they're ever
didn't say it's forbidden and you'll get
you know it's Halawa CLE forbidden I
don't believe he said that he spoke more
about the hang-up that the conduct and
he definitely was of that opinion I'm
not I'm not diminishing that he was very
much of the opinion you shouldn't you
shouldn't do that and today in Habad
there is a even those that aren't
perfect in that area it's on their mind
that I've seen that you know I've gotten
many questions about that over the years
you know so you see clearly that it
touched the the bodies but not not
everyone is able to carry it out I once
had a and once had when I was in Marin
County we had a preschool and there was
an Israeli woman who we hired to help us
in the school and she was a very good
teacher and somehow we had a either a
few books of something that had some
pictures of non kosher animals and she
wouldn't hear of it she would not hear
of it she made a storm and she drove me
nuts and she was right because she said
this about preschool your Habad Nick I'm
Ichabod Nick the rebus said we shouldn't
do this why don't we have the and again
it wasn't like you know but whatever
whatever you know my gonna do tear out
the whole book and whatever and she yes
she was very fanatical she wanted me to
tear out pages you know but but I
understand her I do understand her you
know
so but going back to your to your point
that you just asked which I'm glad you
did because you never really discussed
it it is the ones I remember when
throughout the spoke about it he brought
to think that romvong that I quoted
earlier that the animal is driven by the
soul the energy and if they are sitting
there certain could be dice and
certainly bad leaders and when you when
you look at a big enough in a little you
know booklet there's one message or one
energy and when you look at a an eagle
it's another energy and by the way you
know that issue also comes up when you
take children to to the new to the zoo
thank you yeah to the zoo again you know
everything has to be done with with
common sense don't throw a fit in the
middle of the zoo if your kid is running
over to the pigs okay yeah you know the
don't come you sugar you know don't make
a scene over there cuz I've killed
myself it's worse than anything you know
gradually you know walk over to another
place you notice a so this applies to a
zoo too not just for the little books
you know and I don't believe I just
think about a nod I don't remember if
they're ever address this idea of well
if you want to be educated if you're
never gonna see a pig hey how you gonna
know what a pig is you notice if the
Titus says about a pig so you want to
show I don't think that ever met that
you understand there's a difference and
I don't know if I might relation is a
good one incorrect or makes sense in
other words how do you discern between
with what they're ever suggested for
Himmel and an education as a knowledge
that there is all kinds of animals and
including opinion including the Raven
including a lion so what should you do
like turn away your head me to see
I don't believe that's what he meant I
don't I don't think that's what he meant
he meant in a school when you're
educating or at home when you're reading
the book to your kids or you're putting
them to sleep with a bow it should be
you know stuff dull whatever it should
be of a kosher animal you know you're
saying the fine line between complete
you know suck your eyes like turn your
head you know you've seen the dog in the
street turn your head
no we're not talking about that you
don't have to turn your head and you see
a dog in the street although this Brooke
you know it is brought to show cannot
off it is perfect you know that is
brought to show him that I've done a
woman after she comes out of the mikveh
should if she sees an animal non kosher
animal I think it even says you should
go back to the mikveh do you know that
yeah again I'm not sure if it's a
hollow-core just the suggestion I have
to you know I learned that years ago
I'll have to relook at it or it says you
know it says maybe the first one she
should Cesar huh a human being that's
you don't say anyway I'm just saying we
find ideas in our teachings that deal
with with what our I see of a kosher
nature of a non kosher nature I mean the
whole idea we have to go further but the
whole idea of watch your eyes guard your
eyes that whole idea doesn't apply only
not to see inappropriate sneeze issues
etc it applies to these issues as well
you know but anything with a with a
calmness and a sensitivity so although
this teacher of mine was very extreme I
I know where she was coming from and in
essence she was right okay
but you know how do you implement that
needs to be dealt with in a way that is
you know I mean you could argue
my daughter has right my daughter
tel aviv opened the preschool right so
yesterday she sent this video and I was
looking most of the people the women are
not Restless nothing terrible but but
you know that's the way it is that's the
way that these reign is addressing in
tel aviv in in in 90 degrees and they
destiny that's children they pick up the
children they sit with their children so
what you do so you tell you know isn't
isn't that just as bad I seem very
fallible so you know and you don't make
an issue you don't throw them out that
you don't say anything I mean that you
know they're they're the fruit of air of
the world from but they they're
interested in a in a bad you know
institution educating their their
children that's a big step my daughter
told me that one of them is a fighter
pilot as we speak and sometimes you
can't pick up because she has a mission
of she is a fighter pilot she grew up
very secular at Israeli her husband is
Modern Orthodox and I think that they're
sending the children to thee to her gun
and the hope is that that you know this
will bring the family together it yeah
so look at the greater good that comes
from what's happening the fact is that
she dresses the way she dresses and you
know so when we talk about the animals
you only even talk about the the soul of
the animal your you know the point is a
good point you made and I'm glad you
brought it up the same time that has to
be thought out and and and implemented
in a in a good way and husband and wife
should be on the same page and try to
work it out and you come up with a
system that works for the family but
overall what you said is correct there
rather had that sheet though and it's I
find it to be it's interesting because
they're ever said so many things and
some things you know just by name
cheerful to the side you know me and
this issue like every year I probably
get one or two calls or emails
whatsapp's asking me about this issue
you know it's like the record spoke
about its place 3040 years ago and it's
still like active by the new generation
by people who didn't even see the rapper
it's amazing to me it's amazing to me
and and it's a very it's a very a
beautiful thing that because it touches
you know the core the education the
phenol so a young new married couple to
them this is very real you know I'm
saying how am I gonna bring up my kids
in a way this is is more relevant to the
new generation than the sickness of them
my mother and the talks in the study you
know the mother is there has to change
that person of the father's help me take
the garbage out and they're running
around to make Barossa and everything
else and and what are they worried about
they want to raise their children and
are you see this away they want to know
what that that means the scholarship you
know get around to it but come back to
it let's get back to the text guys okay
yes
[Music]
right now so and so what you're saying
is and what's the reason what will
continue finishes your thought and
what's the reason so that's the point
that the Rebbe is making an amendment
that the reason the person wants the
animal because there's more of the the
Middle's the soul that's that's that's
observable and impalpable in the animal
versus a plant that's the point
yeah we're saying the same thing better
but you brought it out in in a good way
and right I'm sure he will defend
they've been studied they've been
studies about this I would think right
in in the Universities that probably
would studies about you know the this
whole idea that your brief bringing to
the table right okay right so right so
so you know that's another that that's
nothing we would have to look at
carefully the therapy aspect of animals
you know how do we have we balance that
with with Casals you know in other words
I'm saying in other words let's say you
don't want to trim panel in the house
but if you need a therapy you know in
that situation make maybe it's justified
for sure if you need it to a blind
person needs a dog you know that of
course we're not talking about that
that's that's reform but even like these
are the therapeutic aspect there's you
know there's there's an idea there but
of course if one can find an animal that
has both the therap the therapeutic
value and the kosher value that would be
better so I guess we'll all bring in a
camel no camels of kosher no let's go
further
the he may like it gets even better guys
it gets even better
then he may listen to this - except may
have become today what is after all now
we're going to talk about the vegetative
life the virtue of the so may house
what's its verse - what's a specialty
become Vidia
tom has tasted that they have to smell a
beautiful plant I have a good pleasant
smell you have cream flowers that might
do hanging young is moolah
they are remedies I say yes not God but
mean they have diamond that you also
find amongst the inanimate but certain
stones the goofy by that I am dunking
and that ever says you also find this
amongst the bodies of animals in other
words meat the difference between a
state which tastes one way and a space a
piece of chicken taste another way in
Cain Milo see I brought the shallots and
made up
what is the specific virtue of the
vegetative he be ICC unique it is in its
beauty of heights of energy someone
please turn off your system there's a
little noise mute your your thing she he
my Lagoo funnies
they set up - a diamond in the beauty
aspect of Vito mayor points to the the
virtual Malibu families the physical
virtual that is drawn more to the event
to the advantage of virtual of the
inanimate but money just revista thought
no explain who - vally FIM he'd been
your name I'm asked a few dozen others
he's just repeated really what he said
before what we discussed and the virtue
of the animals is is is closer the notes
it points to more of a spiritual soul
full nature advantage so he's saying
that this that in some manner in and in
dumb me again so may a vegetative has
more soul observed observable than
dulling inanimate but nevertheless both
of them the comparison to the animals
that other Kingdom the living Kingdom
the living Kingdom speaks much more to
so than body as we discussed before
welcome I fires happy Chris she yes but
hence a ho
take for example the virtue of
cleverness you know they say shooooow
a fox is very shrewd very clever so what
do we call this the peak peak peak peak
peak area
pika or the plural peak host because so
it says take for example the energy of
pickles that denotes that there is
sacral there there are some intelligence
shall say to the pollution of my lisanna
flesh sample intelligent intellect
overall denotes the soul it denotes the
spirit the immigration is safe Allah by
the fire will say
and even though the intellect of animals
is an acquired one okhla Mexico so any
quotes you Shia nobody was save enough
thorough you a day are sure to put nail
the Ox knows its master the command Avis
Barolo that summer they did the donkey
that's in the Avis indeed in the winner
you know it needs to know that with it
but olive still knows its boss the comer
claim nevertheless have is a different
level of a different I think all that
minima table this this verse is speaking
to us the human and stick telling us hey
even the animal knows its master so you
human being
hello how could you behave like a etc if
you have a boss hey mister that's the
context in your shia right so so that
ever says so that what the rep is saying
is that this verse is not indicative
that the animal it's mr. Freud or mr.
Einstein has a has a cycle that is you
know tremendous and and and and pure no
it's what we call nice say to Anita and
a quiet safe what does that mean in
order to justify its behavior it
acquires justification ie intelligence
so it's intelligence Yaya Essen is an
adopted one other ad intelligence it's
not an inherent intelligence as a human
being has but in but when when when the
Shia in the man wash and the scolding be
eaten you know this is now stator you
know remember of passing passes for sign
right there were the three weeks and
he's telling us to wake up and do chuhwa
so he refers back to say even the little
acquired Intel
that the animal has including Cutlass
and and cleverness like the Fox it's
still it's still an acquired one
nevertheless the animal is behaving and
those it's master and you human who have
your intellect
you're acting inappropriate so shape up
a new children he said be could be
caught him we have in the economy
economies the minor debated Alice the
ultimate said - si Felicia boy that the
human being because of his intelligence
sort of the hacker admires Reyes Reyes
at helium she has two more left over
from Anna brain he has to recognize the
advantages the natural advantages that
every single creature has the holy you
saw the Maria Bamford that will in turn
Elizabeth Hubbard - but you anomalous
other whatever a man sees and whatever
he sees if any other species and domain
has to add Hosmer and dice wisdom in to
the command what we observe that other
domains is for us to learn from zelma
vaya there was this the EEPROM explains
my men ever say - Rosel my man up here
might have seve thought we'll stop over
here we'll stop right here and ship
tomorrow look we'll continue like you
don't everyone have a good day and make
sure your own animal within you is tamed
and just take the goods from that animal
inside the passions and use it to help
others and help a Shem and bring chef
take care
