we're on page [Music] um we're on page 243 okay let's learn the kids that is designated for for every individual who may atika who remembers what the taj of atika is old like like old okay what other types does that mean right and what here right antique antique is one tight what's the other one strong strong why do we call atika strong because it comes from a place of total strength okay what is a substitute name for a tikka a cinnamon let's go avi moisture someone you understand very good ketter how many levels do we have in ketter two benimiyota ketter so because this this this level this experience is is is old ancient in the sense it's aims like ancient wine it's good wine right i always say if it ain't broken don't fix it we have a system it's a good system now sometimes you have corrupt systems you need to break it but if you have something that's good don't search for new systems you know i don't know how it's an urges role but here in america for the gas and the electric companies there was a period where they uh what's it called they the uh you know they there's a word in english they took it away from a monopoly he said that he flag type no no not the franchise that's also true but it's another word i'm looking for not decentralized decentralized but there's another word anyway deregulated thank you thank you you you're yes and your words are correct but that was the word i was with they deregulated it okay so every monday and thursday i got calls and maybe when you live in america you got calls join our uh the plans cheaper and all that and indeed it was cheaper the rate per you know per whatever kilowatt but what i found over 30 over 27 years living in my house here at the end of the day um i did better keeping khan edison and the national grid what we have out here in in the new york area in various ways and i i take a lesson from that but there are clown just stay to what you know you know the peace of mind the peace of mind is worth so much more than saving a few dollars you know to start you know now there's a whole controversy now facebook versus a signal and something else and i i don't i didn't even look into it you know all i know is that i'm set up on f i'm set up on whatsapp i mean you know it's going well just leave it privacy shmi see like the other guys are not going to have your privacy it's like if not now tomorrow it's not tomorrow the next day so i'm i'm using all this to explain the atika attic is a place in hakadosh it's a place in hashem that's ancient in the most positive way it's a place of when you when you when you go to when you go to it when you relate to it when you're there you feel very very good last night i was sitting at a simcoe with old buddies and usually i don't go to simchas for a long time whatever i go in and out you know for whatever reason but yesterday i was there almost uh two hours why i just was reminiscing with old friends you know and talking about it just the time went you know there's something to be said about the attic so when you learn to see this a line of kindness of that's been designated budgeted humay atiku it comes from attic you have to train your head right away to think not in capitalistic words unless you're a real mccouble you know and you want to become a kubo and you like that type of plumbing system you know that turns you on that you know fine but for the average person it's like what's going on here so you have you have to learn what the word represents and switch in your head and your brain to that mode that makes you feel comfortable and then you won't have a problem saying yes it comes from attic and someone says what are you normal like what what are you saying just give them some of the examples that i just shared with you and then it becomes very palpable let's continue avo i think he say to this it's not a fader complete where hey i want to have arctic today i want to have some ancient experiences let me turn on my old jukebox from the 1950s and play the oldies it doesn't work this way it doesn't work this way i will borrow your days you need an arousal an awakening you need something something to give you a kick you know where and to move wake up you come for somewhere yeah you come from somewhere there's an expression brought in the svara mavi khan hoya here it's found here it is really where did it come from where did it come from who are you who are we big shots if not for our ancestors there's a famous song because i think psalm 22 and you our parents trusted and we call them parents grandparents and i remember hillary was telling me years a few years ago but again his ancestors you know you know you know we we don't know because we're not you know we don't know but possibly an ancestor from way back a hundred years ago us a good thing that he did helps us in our life you know but whoever say no that everyone said by fabregan he said almost all people who weren't from come from they come from from people oh yeah find me a person you can go back 2000 years and say they weren't religious for two thousand years you won't be able to find a thousand years two hundred years yes a hundred years yes but a thousand years i doubt it but whoever's saying so why do i say this because it says here i will buy these as feet as that silas in order to evoke this feeling of sentimentalism and ancientism that's comfortable and good and holy it needs an arousal you need to wake up and and smell the coffee and smell who you are so in this case he says you know who does that the ten spheros the ten emanations from khabadi only till manches are tools and instruments that trigger something in a person be it kindness discipline rahmanis endurance whatever whatever the particular nuance that talks to a person that awake evokes in him something and it goes deep inside and and it brings out that ancient sentimentalism that that what that arctic is all about magia it is to the esospheros of vatsilos that man's activity avodah um and man's deficiencies have an impact in other words in arctic itself in arctic itself i think it doesn't lose any sleep from our from our uh stuff no i think is a level that rides already it's writing so you could do whatever you want it's going the question is whether i can benefit from artic so the i the avoider of the jew has triggers and touches magia see the word will show my gear it reaches it touches the uh le the astrosphere is that's healers and this includes our positive things and our maximum our deficiencies and he continues and in the past chat in the previous chapter he spent time speaking about the way we acted and behaved the previous year kane he kids are showing up that's the budget you get for the for the next year and remember the muscle that he gave was such a beautiful muscle right the person who loaned you the money how much is he going to loan you this year depending now how you react to the loan of last year well you betrayed practically this is relevant it depends on the tube of elo the void is more more in particular um is the avoid of the the days of sliches number three resolution on rosh hashanah that i want to make a change and i want the year to be differently ha marshall rashad said he says we gave the martial from the merchant and his and his buyers his suppliers ha cavanaugh anemia now suppliers the people who buy from him the merchandise i'm sorry give me give me right the famous halitanino in braces give me some hot lentil soup give me stuff me up what's the cavon epidemious why should i give you why should why does hashem give chef akash me bishfiel ki matar mitzvah fulfillment hashem i want to learn more i want to help do more mitzvahs please let me not worry about paying the bills let me not worry about hospital bills classroom let me have simches native that ashab says from all of the above that we explained great length it's understood very well dave that the primary objective is godliness and the constellations they're only garments i like that word those words messengers of the shepherd only that's all they are they are the gophers okay they ain't behemoths they have no yoni mamish mama tangibility they themselves but someone who worships and bowels through the shlokhish to the sun moon and to the dollar bill what he's doing is he's giving prominence to them as though they are the ones deciding about the and that's why it's called yo avoid the zara idolatry because it comes from hashem and instead you say no the sun and the moon they're the ones giving dashboard and the influence of the energy from him from the able to from god and this person who worships the son of the moon and the dollar bill what is he doing he is giving importance prominence to the constellations and it considers them the masjib they resume and that's why that's why he bows to them this is idolatry and just to extrapolate i like what he says here when you make of the masolis we talk about the importance of having a spear right the reb i think in 1986 came out with the campaign assailant everyone should find them a fear it doesn't mean a rabbi a rob because that you know that's a hell you know that's you don't need a rabbit to tell you that i mean sometimes you do but i'm a sphere a spiritual guide and counselor but we have to also be careful if we consider that my spear as the one giving the hashbow and not just as a as an emissary and a schlucheva we're we're making a big mistake and it comes back to haunt you so with all due respect to mashpeem that there must be has to be the type of person that knows that he's at my spear of what and that's all he is yes jonathan yeah that about that yeah we don't we don't think we don't these guys for dropping the wood we effected these woods so it reminded me of a puppet show you know what a puppet show is yes so the guys above controlling the puppets you look the puppets down below you think they're moving but really they're on the screen right correct the kid the kid doesn't know the kids thinks that the puppets are really sent by themselves right i don't see the guy right right well said good good mushroom very good mushroom let's continue the next paragraph why is it that i better why is it that a person can make a mistake and give credence to the mashpeem to the constellations as though they are in charge and independent it's because their they're dressed in a what we call a levus sock a a a a a very thick sackcloth which conceals the godly light that's within them shayna made it better cloud that just doesn't illuminate at all in a manifested way um and what happens that through the spots and clothes invested in nature and all of a sudden we say it's nature you get sick you get healed it's because you have a a vaccine yes the dumbest that's why there is room to make the comparison masolis in other words the up security of the mazolis is so powerful that it can lead you to make the mistake to think that they themselves are godliness next page because if hashem's energy within the constellations would not be so concealed everyone would know that the hashbow is coming from hashem you wouldn't make the mistake because you see right through them but because of the many concealments that are created through the garments of the constellations that's why the ones who made the mistake made mistaked they considered the garments for some existence imagine you're wearing a a fancy coat a fancy shirt a an expensive piece of clothing and someone says to you who are you oh i am uh i am gucci i am this i'm that full it's only a garment yeah it costs a lot of money and you're a fool for buying it for that much money but that's what it is but it's only a garment a nice car i think i told you the way i used to get my kids out of the house sometimes is i have to sing with them mobile the car is a mitzvah mobile i it's a fancy lamborghini and that's race today a tesla and this is that it's a lavoose it's a garment a nice garment an expensive garment but it's only a garment and if you mix the two you're totally off track let's continue [Music] and that the vitality and energy should be in a manner that's called concealment creator from creation because if it wasn't concealed it would be overwhelming and we would never be so he thought at least islam so now that's why shem felt it and made it that there needs to be an investment in the clothing of the skies and it should be according to the measurements and and criteria of creatures shalamata here on earth look what he says the emo yellow coast mayor begili if godliness would be revealed shalom yeah muslim brotherhood would and it wouldn't be concealed in the previous mentioned garments of the constellations and all that so the creatures within nature they would not be able to kabul they wouldn't be able to receive a [Applause] brings it up here again but like at the beginning of the paragraph when you were talking about the gosmius right yeah tesla whatever so it's like that story i think you told us the story um i i think it was that with the with the guy that with the pants right they tell them he says buy it and he wants to buy the fancy pants like armani pants very expensive fans he said like this world is you have pants and they're very nice pants but they're too big you're going to trip over and pull over them yes yes exactly anyway so what is it what does it say here mushrooms that sort of you say slobs from now therefore we need to have these garments you have to know that what you're getting is godly holy supernal kindness that's been invested i should have slapped i told you the story and it's worth repeating again and i'm going to be talking about this i think next week or week when i make a tribute to rabbi schwartz aka schwarze first kabad house rabbi on campus at ucla great man great man from baltimore actually hillel from atlantic city than baltimore i met him once um a tribute what's the context of the tribute i uh when with someone who i know had interaction with i i i make a tribute to about them i talk about about them what i know and and many people you know listen and they no longer is he no longer with us oh no slow and passed away it's going to be his fourth yard side he passed away at 71-72 and that but he had a very very difficult passing uh remember i did not know that i now lived with him yeah remember him well yes so schleimer slaymar told me the story that in you know the chabad house at un gailey 741 gailey ucla in westwood you know they um in the in the talking about 69 70 71 those days you know they had so little and uh they had a car a jalopy a junker you know and there were three rap three four rabbis rabbi stillman all over solomon rabbi schwartz oliver show them rebel levitansky the oldest of all four is still alive never the other three passed away and i made a tribute about robbie stillman and the other two a few weeks ago it's been watched by a lot of people so anyway they had a car in the garage i i've been i wasn't that garage so i i see the front of my eyes so schwartz tells me he says um you know when i needed to go somewhere i went into the car and i started the ignition and i went whenever tansky needed he went into the car and still when he did that and cunanan cunha did that in other words the keys never left the car because it wasn't my car it was our car it was about house's car it was the replica was davis's car it was the midst of a car so the keys never go out of the ignition whoever needs it starts the car and i i i he told this like in you know in the mid 80s and it rings up it hits me you know how we're learning here about the hashball the shepherd the the line between the the dividing line between giving credence to goshmius and nature and and and making it a mathias la oxway which up says basically is idolatry and vice versa realizing that it's only a tool an instrument that's necessary is a very very refined one and and and and it requires you know constant constant um constant observation don't take things for granted because the added the the natural feeling for the human being is if it's mine it's mine i'm in control i'm the boss and all that right how many people have you you know feel otherwise what's mine is yours what's yours is yours or in the chabad lingo monster breit is dying every miner my piece of bread is yours as mine and hasidam would say and they prefaced diner yours before minor before mine you know it's it's something that we have to work on constantly constantly you know anyway oh my might say double let's continue bad bottom of the page one might say love um i know you hate them from all of the above we understand the calling is lapses by mazzola is the sudden this entire idea of investing itself the energy in the constellations and the ministers is only applicable in the world of action because the investment process is gradual initially the energy invests itself in what we call hillel the world of brief despair [Music] is not tangible and palpable and materialized it's yet very spiritual if you should sean mayer at diane haguilla or godzilla's why because in a bria yes it's already the world of creation the beginning germs of creation nevertheless the the presence of vasilis where it came from is very much felt it's like did you ever look at a a a man who just got married i've run my son just got married now i knew i've wrote when he was a booker avrom was not fat okay a room was not skinny but he was he was fine now most guys after they're married a few years they develop a little what we're calling either a pempic you know what a pempek means a stomach their wife feeds them and makes good food and they eat a little more and a little more and all of a sudden their stomach grows and as the years go on it becomes bigger and bigger the pimping right what is why do i say this to you and he says here that bria still has a a a a tinge from where it came from maxilus so it's it it you know as as as as much as it's already creation hola mabria it still smells the vibes of asilos and since it still smells the vibes of us it's still impacted by axillus so i'm you i i was giving the mushroom in the opposite way that you know the further you go away from being a bucker this is for the average guy and it's not a bit it's not bad it's just stuff you know when you're a bucket you're immersed in learning and then davening and mithsillium and running around you know and it's just an interesting phenomenon you know heavy guys get heavier skinny guys get heavier you know it's an exception for a guy to remain the same some do so why because the more distant you are from your years in yeshiva the it wears off you know in khabad one of the greatest compliments to a married man was you know the first 10 years of marriage or so is he's still like a booker you honestly remember that he's still like a booker he's still like a single guy in yeshiva that was a great compliment if after 10 years of marriage he has the mindset and he has the the wherewithal of the bakra mentality which was like there is no world there's only hashem there's only torah there's only them oh that's that's someone that's really stark as the literature would say really strong because the the the ways of the world have not impacted him so that's what that's what i was reminded when i learned said he when it says here that bria is impacted by accidents let's continue and he says and so so that's why the or the way it descends from on high the hesed requires a gradual progression and he continues um um and afterwards it's invested in the garments of and finally the lowest of the four worlds avi the world of action which is the lowest of all shambles over there the energy is completely concealed that it can then invest itself in the thick in the garment of the constellations and who mastered where the energy is not so concealed ef so it wouldn't be able to go from there directly into the constellations once the energy has already gone through another descent i.e the world of asia through muslims that's more concealed is itself in these garments of the constellations the next page is you remember he began with an interesting saying from priyan priyankshaya the kalapana the two names of hashem kale and adnai shahusham dasia that is the name designated in kabbalah for the world of asean each of the names of hashem or each few names are kabbalah says associated with a certain world the names kale and i together which equals remember 96 like tsav is the name associated with who began itself the aims of ello and he quotes the gomorrah and he and he's going to explain it now sav is used when we're referring to an issue that's associated with idolatry uh what of what attacks listen to this because when the energy invests itself in these garments until the energy can be so concealed and it can appear to them say hey mama spain that they're the ones giving the shepherd nikoi independently because godliness in them is not at all seen or revealed in a revealed way that's why the name of k klagman equals 96. then and the word saba is used when it comes to the ref to refer to avoid um although and not by your holy names were shem but because of these names bought his lobsters the energy invested itself bahamas in the constellation shaheen must eat who completely concealed the energy nation malcolm x until one can consider and and and and think shaheen asks me that they themselves are there must be him independent giving the energy the lava days from there and that's why because of that mistake one can serve the moon and the sun and the dollar bill has shame [Music] that's why which name of hashem is is part is demonstrative of this type of investment 96. so that that's the kesha you know remember you remember when he asked the question in the beginning of the mimer how can you say that's kale agni which are names of god you're in sin are associated with with with with and the answer is the names themselves are holy of course but these names are the names of the world of asia what happens in asia the light is so concealed to the point that it makes it possible to have to be interpreted in by the constellations constellations that they are in charge and that means that sounds like the sorrow worship the sun and the moon he goes back and forth he says that's the danger but simultaneously that itself is ashamed the only way only you can have actual money in the bank and good health you need gas mias you need guessing so it's a two-edged sword sword on one hand the the energy where it comes from is so concealed that you can make the mistake it's independent and you worship the son of the moon of the dollar bill and that's why even though it's kale agnai but it's k lognai as caledonia is demonstrative of concealment at the very same time this concealment makes it possible for it to be gosh miss and if you look at what he says further and he says that totally calling you now has the whole idea of mission and purpose why we're here is to take the gas me so make a videos so it's like in a way it's an oxymoron i want that you're telling me caleb and i lends itself to avoid the zara on the other hand you say it has to be that way why because you we need it in bagasmius and and and that stand will stop here but that's that's the answer that's the answer for this for this life that we're living you know hashem says look what counts is here on earth okay now it's very easy to fall into a trap it's very easy to make a mistake and worship the sun and the moon etc but at the very same time if you don't take the benefit from the sun and the moon and transform it and use it for hashem you're not really connecting you're you're in a fantasy world yes you understand yes means like i joined the master kale is welcoming so it's like a benevolence a benevolent ruler benevolent especially somebody who's benevolent but at the same time he's a ruler therefore it's possible to think that we're getting us far from benevolent on on earth but really it's the malevolent king of both uh-huh very good thank you i i understand what you're saying white says caleb might not kill you wolfgang okay yes moshe i just understood i was listening to uh one of the shoe room that you gave that earlier this year um i think it was in uh er yeah it was an er i was listening to it yesterday actually and it was about you were speaking about you were talking over this must this mice that happened that hit with the um rebbe rashad and the frida karambit they were visiting another rabbit and and and that rabbit i don't i forgot the name but the rebbe asked this guy to go out and bring kibbut so the gaba goes out to the garden he brings back apples and he brings the apples and he he held them somehow in his kapata or something and he like like like when he came to the table he like opened his capacity and he let the apples fall down onto the table yeah paris of the paris sovereign yeah yeah you were speaking something as we were literally in this today you were mentioning the issue about about gosh miss and about how we we like but you were talking about the car he's talking about the car like the car the keys never left the car and how they like they they used the gosh mia simply to serve them meaning they used obviously the proper way but i i i why am i mentioning what i'm talking about because you spoke about the rebellion having a certain royalty there was a russian royalty that the rebound had that the polishes that they didn't have and i can't help but think that it's quite i guess what am i trying to say i'm trying to say is that i think that it's quite an a voda to be able to have our have gasmius in the right perspective in other words a person might think ah okay gastric yeah we have to use it okay but but we're gonna like we're gonna treat it with the most minimal importance but when you were talking about the royalty royalty was a refinement that means that we don't treat the gosh me as just like garbage we we it's like it's like the ultimate in using it for the right reason and having a certain respect for the one who creates the gosh mirrors in the first place right and i i guess because i'm bringing that up because i i think that that's a i think that the very it's a very um challenging level to be on i think it is it i i just wanna conclude i have to go to another sheer but rabbit gorari i don't know if i told you this the rashad the rebels brother-in-law during the week he would eat his dinner at his dining room table the shop is dining with table not in the kitchen not in the side room but he ate and i asked why royalty the garage family you know considers himself and rightfully so there's royalty so he wouldn't just sit in a side room every dinner for him was a shabbos dinner i i don't know if that i think i think that that's what you're talking about but but like you said you have to be plugged in and you have to it's it's it's risk that am i really doing it because of the royalty and the kadusha or am i doing it because i want to show off have it a great conversation we'll see everyone tomorrow have a great day bye bye bye
