Royal Justice | Baad Kodesh CLASS 4

all right we're learning bad KES which is originally a letter that the mitba wrote to the governor of vpsk who was overseeing his trial for treason and the MLB is explaining cabalistic the powers of the government and so far we've been speaking a lot about which Divine attribute which well we're going to get to Mal we've been speaking a lot about TI yeah so past couple of chapters been focusing on tetus being that harmonizing energy that brings together the Opposites and also we spoke a little bit about how even the Opposites contain each other they include each other all right today God willing we're going to get to malus which is really the punchline all along that we were driving at uh we're on chapter five and I'm hoping we'll do chapters five and six today and then next week we can finish with chapter 7 and 8 next week will actually be Y which is the of so that would be a propitious time to make that okay chapter five based on all the foregoing explanations that we've given on all the four levels of inanimate vegetative animal and human remember we went through and gave concepts of tetus or illustrations of tetus on every different level we talked about the the different the tastes and the sounds and the ETC okay so through that what we've covered y will be able to intellectually Envision or at least have some type of an abstract model for what this means in terms of he says Lila but that means in terms of divinity like job said from my flesh I see godliness in other words we can extrapolate based on our understanding of the way things are down here what the archetype must be up there from when the lower level manifestations derive it's a common concept Inus okay because after all God created Man In His Image because these three vectors that we've discussed they exist in ailos in the highest world and then that's the uh sort of pattern that is repeated on all the different levels that we've discussed okay and this is the concept of how the emanations flow forth or emanate forth from the emanator the word which is the name for the highest world the world of archetypes one meaning of that word is he calls it haha separation taking off a piece breaking off a chunk when meu bestows his Spirit upon the 70 elders so that's the PK that we just quoted from the book of numbers and it means to sort of take off a piece yeah that's one meaning of it it has multiple meanings but that's one meaning of the word he says like a spark from a flame a little spark from a larger flame so too the 10 spheres which are called superal lights in other words they are like a call it perhaps miniature representation of the infinite so it's like they are a chip off the old block so to speak of the Divine however God forbid do not think we mean it literally when we compare it to light it's not like physical light like photons you know the photon went to a hotel he went to desk clerk he said I'd like to check in the desk clerk said to the photon do you have any luggage he said no sir I'm traveling light I like that okay so we're not talking about photons paraphrase just what you've read so far you just give it's just is saying that what what ailos is and that it's a representation of divinity and that the structure of the SPO are a a representation of the infinite that we can grasp as he as he'll explain okay but he says first of all don't think that we're literally comparing it to physical light it's metaphorical light it's only a metaphor he says I'll give you another metaphor he says think about a person's soul powers let's talk about the power of intellect that's in his mind that's in his brain the energy that is intellectual power is actually just a small portion of his larger Soul energy it's like you have certain amount of power running to the house and this amount of power is running to the blender and this amount of power is running to the bread maker and this one's running to the quinart so there's this larger Soul power which is this aggregate nondescript simple power and then when it runs through the the brain it gets translated into intellectual power also as we go to lower levels of mid of the heart the same same concept pertains the only difference is it goes from latent state from a latent state to a reveal State each one in its particular way in other words there's this General energy called The Soul which is nondescript simple in its Oneness and then as it gets channeled through the different vessels call it um then it takes on the different descriptions that are knowable to us so that the person can use his mind and his and his emotions to go about doing all the things he needs to do so too you could apply this to our understanding of the this is indeed what the prophet says in the in the introduction to Hashem are one but not in the numerical sense not like 1 2 3 4 One meaning Oneness totality meaning to say you are not a composite of attributes you are simple Oneness just like we're saying as a metaphor the soul is simple Oneness it's just that it becomes articul ated as different manifestations in its revealed State indeed as goes on and says in the you are a but not in the knowable sense of kma in other words we experience you in one context as a but we're not using that to label you to contain you limit you and indeed even in a human being hisma is just an expression of a larger energy a more holistic energy which is the soul Etc top of the page 16 same thing not just with which is an intellectual power but same thing with which is an emotional power it's just that the Oneness expresses itself in these various manifestations in order to conduct worlds oh here we're getting back to the main point like a king of Flesh and Blood the king uses a combination and a balance of the two attributes of and the right and the left extremes both intellectually and emotionally and these and this balance is called emis and it's also called tius as we've said it's called emis because it's that totality it has all the extremes within it and it's called tettis because there's the beauty of harmonization and in this ultimate harmonization you have a beautiful combination of the extremes together and now we're going to understand based on all of this the concept of till now we've been speaking very heavily about now we're speak about which is depicted in the image the previous image remember we had the little chart yeah and if you remember visually how it was depicted where is malus situated in the middle under the vector which contains tetus and so if you run across the mid right left Center you have TI in the middle of theas plane which is the emotional plane and then on the attitudinal plane you have your side I'm going right left Center your side is in the center and then if you go to the very bottom you have malos in the center vector and remember the whole point is we want to talk about the function of malus which literally means kingship because we're trying to understand the role of the Earthly King it's explained it's brought in the cabalistic books that midus the attribute of hashem's kingship is the last SP by the way this this was a point of contention the people who are trying to get the Al and the m in trouble use this to sort of um egg on on the authorities and say you see sidus and cabala is is revolutionary I don't mean revolutionary like Innovative I mean like Revolution like the thing that they were afraid would happen and it did happen in 1917 when they killed the romanovs so and the thing that had happened already in France which they were afraid of happening you understand that there was you understand they killed the king in France and this was only like when the aled EBA was brought to jail I mean it was within the same decade when they killed the king of France so it was pretty fresh on their minds they were able to push it off like a lot of progress in Russia they were able to push it off for a century but uh they pushed off the revolution but yeah you understand they were afraid of revolutions so the people who were against cidus said you see the cabalistic model puts malus at the bottom they're denigrating malus yeah it was one of their okay so that says that malos hashem's malos is the is the lowest or the last culminating final SPH and it receives from all three vectors it's sort of like the funnel you know you got the wide end and the narrow end so it the wide ends at the top and it's receiving from all the higher Sphero and it's the interface you he says listen Mal is the source for all of the flow of Creative Energy to all of the worlds the higher worlds of the spiritual entities and the angels and the Min the seven 70 ministering angels of each nation and as well as malus is the source of energy to the physical world and to all of the the four elements and everything that's composed of them meaning everything and all the four kingdoms of of um human and animal and vegetative and inanimate everything's coming from malus it all comes from malus malus is the funnel in fact malus is responsible for all of the differences that we perceive in in the levels of people malus is not just providing everything it's also that which is responsible for all the differences between things like wealth and poverty a a the difference between a painful life and a pleasurable life shiftless or being in a low state or being in a an elevated State all of these changes and differences they all are due to what is Flowing forth from malus malus is the delivery system and that's what's going to determine which countries and which people are going to Faire this way or that way because hashem's eyes are open to all of the ways of man to repay each one according to his exact supervision of their deeds so Hashem is making sure that what everyone receives from that shipping center in malus is exactly a appropriately allotted to that personov Hashem looks forth gazes forth from heaven and uh supervises and makes allotments okay so what decides who's going to be rich who's going to be poor who's going to but the point is that not that he decides it this we know how that gets done it is through the channel of malus which allots to each one exactly what is appropriate based on hashem's decision okay why is it significant what does that imply what does it imply why well it implies that every single condition that is observable to us can be directly traced to some adjustment in the way that malus is delivering the Divine energy from on high everything that's going on down here is an adjustment that's made in malus can we influence that I don't know we didn't speak about it well you said whatever's happening above what happening down here know as americ I don't I don't know a whole lot yet okay let's let's let's just find out let's let's continue learning all I know so far is about right left and Center stuff I know that I know that whatever we learned about tius malus is even more so because it's the center Vector but it's the final Vector so it's the final um aggregator and it just it it brings everything together and then it a lots it all and dos it out in a very exact way so that's what I know that's what I know all right should be the most balanced way because it's coming well that's an interesting thing that you're saying right now because that's exactly where we're headed that's an interesting observation yes it should be the most fair and balanced it should be the most fair and balanced let let's that's exactly where we're headed let's find out what he says okay chapter six V it says the rock meaning Hashem his ways are perfect everything he does is perfect he doesn't make mistakes because all of his ways are mishpat how are we going to translate mishpat justice justice okay good all right um if we translate mishpat as Justice will you be confused with how we translate din what's the distinction oh very good I don't know yet but there clearly is and Mish butut and din are not the same then see seems like it's a more of a gura den is gura isor it is gor we spoke about it in previous chapters that cassid is the kindness and din is the restra um V is is often translated as restraint yeah but more exacting to what is deserved as opposed to um maybe I don't know let's find out but I just want to do a little heads up that if I accidentally translate both Mish put and in as Justice that would be a uh very poor not just very poor translation that would be a translation would cause us to conflate two separate Concepts so let's make sure not to do that Mish yeah AJ um verdict yeah okay let's find out about mishpat the verse says mishpat the word mishpat specifically because mishpat really represents the concept that we've been speaking about of balance mishpat is balance if you think about it it doesn't use this analogy but elsewhere in this it does let's say you have a tribunal of three D three judges and let's say one is uh lenient and one is strict and then the third judge comes and is m he brings a compromise that would be mut that would be mut yeah so the the the lenient judge and the strict judge they may have very different views from each other the judge who is the voice of mishpat can see both perspectives maybe he would say even I'm not saying that the guy didn't do a crime I'm not saying it's not wrong what he did but I am saying there were extenuating circumstances in other words I don't have to pretend that he didn't do the crime I don't have to pretend that the crime wasn't the crime but I can take into account other factors that's what we mean by balance is that similar to Tes or parallel that yes it is that's precisely that is precisely what we're saying we're saying mishpat is yeah in the same Vector as tetus that's precisely what we're saying that's like a that's like that's like right and so that is the just verdict that takes into account the whole picture which is also why it's EMS like we said before EMS is the totality the whole picture when you look at a slice of the picture that's when you become an extremist when you can look at the big picture and have a broad mind that's when you can start to compromise and to see Nuance which I know is a dirty word in 2024 almost 2025 with partisan politics being ingrained through uh basically a bunch of bots online amping up all of our extremist thinking but yes generally it is good to be able to see Nuance yeah let's continue here I want to finish this all right so you have the midal this above mentioned balancing trait which you know we've been describing it as but it's also that is what contains within it the different extremes and this is also Mal which is in the center Vector as we just learned which is the king over all of the world's higher and lower and that's why it says the king establishes the land with mishpat that the king is the embodiment of mish Mish specifically the word Mish which is the balancing trait which is also known as truth not only it's not solely nor is it solely din it's the totality and the balance remember the context by the way the MLB is writing to the person who gets to decide whether or not he's going to be convicted of treason just like the that means the Earthly kingship that means we've been speaking now until now about hashem's now we're speaking about an Earthly King that um the King has to administrate is that the proper verb administer check out if administrate is a verb because I think administrate is more correct than administer right I didn't hear the rest of your yeah like you administer a treatment this administrate yes yes okay well it's a less common term for administer oh it's the same thing as administer I thought it had a different connotation than administer okay so the King has to run things use a nice uh Anglo-Saxon word um he has to run things with a balance of traits the king cannot be an extremist not a good one because if he will exhibit too much when he's running his government y then you're gonna have a lot of Thieves and con artists who will do bad to each other and one man will swallow the other one alive you'll have Anarchy so if the king is too lenient he's soft on crime then you're going to have a uh a lawless Society but if he's too tough if he's too strict yashia Canal he'll end up being tough on innocent people he will cause people to suffer needlessly in the name of Law and Order he'll say well you got to run a country this is how it's done like s Saddam Hussein the first day he took control he's like you you you take them out to be shot it'll be safe it'll be quiet because you never know if you'll be the guy be dragged outside and shot is this only Ina because like is it built into the system that system what's your question is this only with a monarchy meaning like yeah like if you're having a no it's any government if you have a a a trial and you're sticking to the letter of the law is it built into the legal system that you're allowed to be and then you are still sticking to I'm not sure your question if I want to be lenient Bas you personally no no if I'm a judge or whatever oh I I don't I no I don't know if if different political systems have built in this type of uh allowance or not he's making a statement he's making an observation that if you have a government that is run with too much hassid you're going to have unfortunately people who will take advantage of that on the other hand if you have a government which is tyrannical which is um totalitarian then innocent people are going to suffer he's going to um convict the innocent and spill innocent lots of innocent blood so we know neither of those things are good that's why it says that the mik meaning a good mik runs his land with Mish not with too much hassid not with too much din not too liberal not too strict but just who said that goalie loocks that's right just right just right the balanced trait which is called truth remember that Al through to balanced perfectly in the center with the m that's how he keeps things running and by the way to get this balance just right a regular person can't do it it's got to be a melik nobody else interesting statement and anybody like me who's proud to be an American and you read those words it's like what only the Malik can do this well just reading what it says I know that we don't like that concept but maybe melik means president maybe it means Senator I don't know what it is but the M is for sure saying that the human being who's going to be able to get this kind of balance right this balance that is representative of what does it's the M it's only the m and the reason is because the M down here is the Channel through which hashem's malos is shining not some other guy not some political scientist some professor at the University who's an expert in government he may be an expert he may know a lot but he's not the channel down here of hashem's Mal it's just the M even secular Kings what do you mean secular Kings yeah every King not just like jewi not just Jewish Kings no no dlab is writing to a non-jewish governor and he's explaining to him his role he's saying you sir are the channel and the embodiment of hashem's malus down here a governor he's a governor okay so but it the way that things were run back then he had total power in his in his local in his region judges yeah I who who who can you apply this to I don't know okay which as we mentioned Mal is the last it's the culmination like we said it's the delivery system It's the final portal through which all of the different combinations above are going to go get allotted to wherever they need to be exactly allotted the so malus is that which is delivering all of the combinations from the three and that's how Mal functions to deliver the perfectly balanced combination ofid and din like the G says I think it's a g in that the maybe someone Google it for me the Earthly kingship is like the Heavenly kingship meaning the political King the person of the king is an embodiment of the Heavenly kingship meaning of hashem's kingship and that's for the reason that we mentioned before Oh and now we understand what we spoke about I think it was back in chapter one already yeah where it says y fear Hashem my son and the King remember from Fear this fear Hashem my son and the King [Music] that the verse equates the awe the reverence of the Earthly king or rather it says the opposite the Heavenly King with the fear and the on the reverence of the Earthly King IM and then the verse continues right remember who has the original verse want to go look it up I think it was in chapter one fear the fear fear Hashem my son and the king and then it continues the rest of the verse with the people who we said who make changes what Al don't mix with them the people who make a separation in other words who make a distinction between the Heavenly kingship and the Earthly kingship and say two different things two different concepts of don't mix with those guys don't be one of those guys because it will actually take you away from the awe of Heaven because it's one thing interesting concept he says now but the lower the lower kingship is not always a reflection they could be corrupted they could be corrupted and yet he he says that a person who distinguishes the Earthly kingship from the Heavenly kingship and says it's just a guy it's just a guy it doesn't represent anything that will actually cause you to diminish your Yus Hashem there's a certain respect I know again I'm proud to be an American so not only we don't respect authority but there's something in our American DNA that actually loves to flow Authority um you know that cowboy attitude but please remember that even p m MIT who was a maniac and a murderer and Misha used to treat him respectfully even when he would go warn him about he needed stuff okay so maybe you're going to say it was politically expedient I'm saying it was spiritually true okay because it's a m is a Mal aik is a Malik so what he's saying here is that somebody who separates the Earthly kingship from the Heavenly kingship and then denigrates the their Earthly kingship by saying is just a guy will actually cause himself to lose Shay that's what he's saying let's finish a few more lines sh cu the high the higher kingship is shining into the King which this higher energy that's shining into the king is allowing the king to run things with mishpat with Divine misher energy of of of's Mal is shining into the Mel giving the Mel unique abilities to run the country with mishpat which we mentioned is that unique balance so there maybe other people are smarter than him or whatever but the melik is the one who has that special access to aem's malus and he's the one who's going to be able to get the right combination okay yeah yeah okay like we said all of his ways are and his ways are many corruption corruption leaders in the the worlds that are and and hear people I hear you I never thought of that of course I thought of that I'm telling what the MLB is saying shining their they have malus because they have they have leadership whether they grabbed it by for so you're saying they they misuse it perhaps maybe you're saying that they're squandering that ability that they're refusing to step up and to be what they're supposed to be maybe I don't know I don't know he doesn't address that here speciic these leaders and desps getting the same shining that's what it seems to be saying it's what it seems to be saying that's the reason why it's a Mitzvah to pray for the welfare of the government sh shom sh because the higher King sh shom shal King Solomon is also sometimes a by word for Hashem who is the m sh so hashem's kingship is shining into the the the the Earthly King so you you better pray for the welfare of that government because that's how you're going to get more of hashem's blessings in our lives he's the funnel he's the funnel you don't like it he's the funnel I'm sorry seek out the Peace of the city in which you live and remember the original context is talking about the Jews in Exile these Babylonians came and took you into Exile and now you should pray for their peace yeah well you're you're living under their Authority yeah you better pray for their peace you understand that the Babylonians come they destroy the temple they take the Jews into Exile and and and you're supposed to pray for them yeah cuz you're living under their Authority they're the government yeah you pray for their for their success because only through their welfare the welfare of the government will there be peace for you because all of the peace all the welfare will come to us down here through them that's the funnel you may not like the funnel but that's the funnel and that's also why the gar says that the law of the land is binding law and it gives secular governments the it t grants the laws of secular governments the authority of to law why for this very reason we got one line left and that is also the reason why you're supposed to make a blessing when you see a king doesn't say a good King a successful King a wise King no any King what's the blessing blessed is blessed are you Lord Our God who gave from his glory to flesh and blood so you're supposed to make that blessing because it doesn't matter if you like the king agree with the King admire the king it doesn't matter he's the king he's that manifestation that embodiment that representation of hashem's kingship that's it that's the reality end of chapter six
