learning now chapter 49 page
136 so the AL here continues his theme
of 48 and that is that a the energy of
God that we call infinite is infinite in
its own right it's not only infinite
velv because it comes from Hashem who
transcends but the or is a so remember
the quote that we always
quote is not referring
generally does not refer to to the
essence to the moer to the source it's
referring to the order to the
emanation to the emanation coming from
God and the AL teaches us in chapter 48
in the
beginning I believe that's his language
as his name implies that's what it
is the light the energy a and that of
course we we needs to be explained and
explained it how that is that not only
the source is infinite but the the Ray
and emanation from the source is also
infinite and we're not going to repeat
that but what he said is that because
that's the case how can a world
emerge you're telling me that we use not
the essence creates the world you know
in the but but it's emanation God's
emanation but if then if amination is
also a of infinite how can emerge a
world a world emerge and that's what Al
introduced the concept of Tsum that God
contracted his infinite
light and Al said there
were plural and there he said remember
here is not the place to discuss it and
and I think MOA asked someone else you
know why or maybe I asked it as as
someone else alluded to it why does Al
not
sa like he says throughout T when
something is not here is not the place
for it to be discussed so he says V the
maven and it's it's enough for the for
the maven if you're a maven and you you
you'll you'll Pro further and you'll
find out but here is not the place to
talk about it he doesn't use those words
in chapter 48 when he talks about the
the various Tsum which he doesn't want
to go into he says and here is not the
place to discuss these
Tsum and uh I forgot about the question
and then someone at The KES shabas said
I listen to your here online and I like
that question and I said to myself o i I
was I was trying to remember what the
question is and I forgot but it was too
late so I don't have an answer yet for
you I might never have an answer but at
least I haven't uh looked into it and
discussed with people okay anyway
so so the question is how does the world
emerge so he says through Sims and when
Hashem puts a simum on himself when
Hashem contracts himself it's no easy
feat you know you think about it m you
think about it well hasem makes it hem
could do anything so you can make a but
imagine imagine imagine just for a
second if we whoever we are we all of a
sudden confine ourselves hide ourselves
put ourselves into to to to a barrier
into a jail it's so
uncomfortable says I want this beautiful
world but in order to have this
beautiful world I I I need to allow it
to be so I have to put myself in in
behind the
scenes that takes courage that takes uh
finesse and that
takes someone who is above you know uh
it's about me cuz if it's about you you
want to stand out right you don't want
to be in the background Hashem kind of
puts himself in the background for a
world to merge and that's what he did
says the AL and this is the continuation
out to this chapter if Hashem does that
with the creation of the world we should
do that as
well and we should
be we should limit our um foolishness
[Applause]
our and allow the and the love to go
forward that's the connection from 48 to
49 that we're going to learn now we idea
that just as Hashem puts AUM on himself
we need to put AUM on ourself regarding
our issues and allow the love for God
that we have in ourselves to emerge
that's that's the connection now inside
let's
go although the detailed concealment
of the Infinity of God's light through
the progression through the ordinary
progression which we
call to the point where the physical
world was created is
created next
page as it's known for
the various reasons why God did this
Etc says as though you could find many
explanations I'm I'm going to share with
you he says
three and he calls them three Mighty
contractions of a in of a general
nature which you apply these three to
the three General worlds let's just read
inside and then we'll
explain right he says there are three
generalities now he says of within the
three generalities there are myriads of
levels we talk about the three worlds
called and a the world of creation
formation and action if you don't mind
muting yourself
please the question is why isn't there
AUM Heen why isn't there
AUM right you know there are four
worlds
is
is you'll notice here he talks about now
three on the three Worlds by what about
a so says no my
friends the type of symptom that we're
talking about here doesn't apply to Aus
why cuz Aus is godliness if you compare
aute to the three other worlds it's
godliness versus non- godliness in its
absolute
State and that's the word from the
term
the the the the sensation and amination
felt in the Consciousness called Aus I
in the world of aus is that it's close
to God it perceives god it feels God so
there's no tum there ssum means you
don't feel God the godliness in its pure
state is
contracted so that's why these three are
only for Bri from the world of creation
for and action where ex yes begins yes
H I assume from reading it that he was
talking that the timum kind of happens
between the meaning what defines Aus
isus and then there's a Simpson that
that that and the next level is the
world of Brio which is filtering out
whatever is is filtered out Etc that's
why I thought there were three is that
incorrect is that well
but no but but I'm
asking without asking is asking why
isn't there a AUM between or and and
Aus I think because there's no there's
no diminishment of the Divine Light I
understood it
why why because that's the reality is
that level that's not that that's not
that's not that's not an answer that's
like uh you know I'll shake my head so
I'm explaining to you what what says
what says is is because the world of
what you said is right but you didn't
give the explanation that the world
ofus is the world
means the the the the the
Creator the that is felt in aus
mhm so so so the energy of aus is still
is closer to the Creator to the to the
um Creator or better said to the
emanator sorry to the
emanator in Bria what's closer to Bria
is not the Creator but his
creation so I I just with one more
example
hopefully R there's a
listen to
this the spirit of man ascends upward
the spirit of of the animal looks down
an animal looks down to the floor a man
looks
up explains the
following means the spirit of man the
spirit of
godliness is always is looking upward
mean it's closer to
Upward where where man begins it's
always closer
to the Earth even even in the world of
Bria which is you know the first glimpse
of EX nilo of but it's already been
tainted the the
the the the point of
Divergence from godliness to
creationism isn't a little difference
it's a quality ative difference it's two
different
mindsets one is the mind of God and one
is the mind of the universe of the
world but the world of the the word the
world of the universe has stages Bria
and
a but even in Bria what is thear the
world you know I just
another when when we think about caring
for people and and things like that
there is the mindset of that
person not what I get from that person
not even what I get from that person on
the most refined way and that's a very
big difference that's a qualitative
difference because when you think about
that person if that's solely your
Consciousness and your your the
application is a very different one when
you think about when you are this the
driving force
of the relationship then that's always
stuck into your kindness and it always
means that somehow you want to get a
mileage on it from the from the most
coarse way to the most sensitive
way so if we take that and apply it to
the difference between
and so so this is the question H why the
question was why why do theim begin from
Bri and not fromus and the answer is
because A's Consciousness is
godliness so the concept
ofum doesn't apply in that sense and
there and and you by the way you find in
other places C this where it talks about
a concept of a par notus that's a whole
different thing that's like a a cover on
a light you could see the light but it's
just Dim when we talk about ssum it's
not just them it's of a different
nature okay let's learn further
what I just told you is is is is the
meaning of the following six
words is M
godliness in order to create the world
of
creation which are
souls
Angels serve god with that's invested in
them and they understand and they
receive from
them you see H the
word this isn't just a little a little a
little difference it's a qualitative
difference when you
say a mighty why does the word have to
be there just
say so I'm telling you it refers to this
concept that the simp
fromus to to um to be
is it's like it's like another story
it's like another
picture
also for the little amount of energy
that does invest itself
in I still call it velv a in comparison
to see see look at this when you go from
to Bri you're talking about anself
versus
nonself so you would think going from
Bri to it's not an
to it's it's already finite to finite
and that's true but DBA says if you
compare the energy and the the
consciousness of into
lower it's also like to to to
finite and therefore the energy from the
level of of
of it is impossible to invest itself
in concealment finished now he goes to
the next
level from the world
of
theet again he alludes to as it's
explained elsewhere an elaborate
explanation of these
three means
elaborate to bring it closer to our poor
Minds he says we've explained this know
admits to us that that kind of I'm not
giving you the whole script here the
whole beer because it's too long so
so you know and he's including himself
trust
me his poor mind needs more elaboration
and he says so elsewhere I've written
about it
anyway what is the purpose of all of
these
contractions it's in order one purpose
to create a human
body that's
Corporal and have it subjugated and also
simultaneously subjugate the negative
energy to accomplish the advantage to
light coming from Darkness
how by man elevating his Godly Soul by
and his vivifying
soul garments
and all its
powers all be designated to God as we
explained earlier so the purpose is to
create a body and not a body that is
this Holy Roller
a that's that's that's not just gash you
know a gash means the physical means
Corporal grub hasem says yeah might simp
my intent with all this progression this
only progression is to create a body
including a grub body and for you man to
elevate and refine it and bring and and
bring back a refined body which is the
idea of the advantage from light coming
from Darkness versus light to begin with
so therefore all of these
worlds as explained here are are great
things but they don't create a body we
need a physical body and I Hashem says I
want to have the physical body serve me
let's
continue for this is the purpose of the
order of
progression yeah now he connects it back
to what he said in chapter 46 of the
love
called as the as a face is mirrored
through uh the water when you put you
put your face is reflected off the
water just as God
Almighty
speaking he put
aside to one
side in a in a metaphor
way his great
light which has no
end and he hit
in these three previous mentioned
different types of
contractions why did it do
that because God
loves so much man
below and he seeks to elevate man to
God because love literally
means you know pushes aside the
flesh so because hasem loves man so much
so he makes flesh and he wants us to
push aside our flesh our gsh and our
material and Corporal life for God
because we have this love within us for
God needless to
say doubled and
redoubled so man should say to him
himself it's proper for me
man to
forsake to put aside and
forsake everything that man has from
Soul to
flesh to make everything
owner for the
purpose three words implying the same
thing attachment cleaving
connection and there should not be any
prevention from
inside from
outside not my
body not my
soul and not
money and not my wife and
kids so guys throw out the excuse I'm
doing it because of my wife right
here when you go up after 20 and God's
going to say I what hey guy why did you
do this you say my wife didn't let me
well we learned chapter 49 and Tanya so
for us it won't be a good excuse maybe
for people who didn't learn it they can
use that excuse but not all of us
herea him and not your kids I did it for
my
kids you know and and the truth is we
all know at the end of the day it's
about us not about the wife not about
the kids not about the family not about
the Gabby not about the rabbi not about
the Medina it's
yourself it's yourself when a soldier
decides to get up on his own and and go
on onra and and and I had here a guest
shabas whose nephew got up and went in
drove an ambulance and they killed him
and now he was sitting here his nephew
aler
aler a right that's coming from self no
one told him to do it he wasn't called
by me
you know what I'm saying he just was
compelled he gave a
baby soul for God so what I'm saying is
says here like this Hashem did this for
us so we we owe it it's that's that's
what he's saying here Hashem put himself
aside for us so now we need to put
ourselves aside for him so calculations
of I don't feel well Body Soul uh I want
to learn today myself uh you know and
not learn with anyone else they
I have to finish sh you know I have to
finish
this m money I don't have the money Isha
wife children all
excuses because Hashem put aside his
excuses Hashem could have easily said
hey I got to find fine Angels fine Souls
Celestial beings what do I need to have
this this stuff for why tell me
why why must I have have all this
stuff the answer is hasem wanted goofi
and the next year is going to say a
fascinating thing about the Goof which
we'll learn tomorrow
yes um I think I mentioned this before
but uh we had this phrase in a different
place um that when it
says
yeah that um that there's a beautiful
MIM in where he explained that this is
the that the ascribes
to in his and his Lust For Dina that
they that was sort of the Kip's
expression of its like most intense fire
and that we're transforming that into
our love for hasem beautiful that's and
and and over there it says all those
three all those three
terms yes yeah yes thank that's that's a
very nice ver and and thank you for
sharing it okay we'll see everyone
tomorrow have a great day Shalom bye
thank you thank you well thank you very
much
