Sefer Tomer Devorah: Chapter 3 - The 2 Dimensons of the Sefira of Chochma

this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everybody welcome everyone to today's timer devara today we begin parek gimmel how can a person train themselves in the middle of parrot base spoke about the first sphera which is casser the highest Spira now we go down to the Sphero below cassar which is the sphere of and how does a person acquire the sphere of khachma the three highest fears are um another name for das is casser so now we do hakma hello the supernal wisdom that means the the wisdom of God is spread on all of creation I mean meaning it is recognizable in all of creation the wisdom Hashem even in the lowest objects even in animal life one can study animal life and be amazed for all eternity of the profundity of wisdom that is Laden in it one could study plan life one could study single cell organism and the wisdom of the Creator is apparent to the extent that one will constantly find deeper and deeper wisdom is although it's hidden and very exalted in other words Wise It's not blatant but upon investigation it is there how great actually the Terminator translated it earlier in paragraph is it are your actions God your wisdom is apparent everywhere everything Hashem made he made with wisdom so one thing that we recognize in all of creation is the wisdom of Hashem foreign likewise it is appropriate for a person that one's wisdom should be found everywhere meaning one should spread their wisdom to whoever is willing to accept it you should teach to benefit man each individual according to your ability if someone has the ability to teach many they should teach many if someone has the ability to teach some they should teach some if someone has the ability to teach their family so teach your family teach your children teach your spouse teach your siblings if you only have ability to teach one person teach that person and if that person is yourself teach yourself but one should try to proliferate wisdom to the extent as possible just like the rebunishment just like God's wisdom is apparent in everything one should spread their wisdom as far as he can Allahu whatever you could influence others with your wisdom you should do so velocity of siba cloud nothing should interfere with that Pursuit now we're going to learn something quite amazing we mentioned the Sphero of cassera's always looking downward first of all it's embarrassed to look at the riban Islam and it's Focus downward to be native but now we're going to see that which is the sphera below cassar has two aspects to it in Hebrew in I guess kabbalistic Hebrew the word aspect is translated as pen the upper aspect and the lower aspect now the upper aspect is closer to cassar the lower aspect is further from kesser so the upper aspect happened that is facing kesser that aspect does not focus below it merely receives from above so the higher aspect of is facing up at Casa casser is looking down the upper aspect of looking up to be macabo from kesser the second aspect of the lower one point faces below to oversee the lower spheroids namely the um BINA Ura tiferas um so the lower aspect of is facing downward to oversee the spirit spreads forth and infuses all the spheroids with so the upper accepts from Casa the lower looks down to be Mashpee on all the other sphere eyes so too a person's needs to have two Dimensions now this is a very important idea almost to everyone and that is when we talk about the middle of which we must all have the meter of two aspects to it there are maybe some people who they are great teachers and proliferators of Torah however sometimes you run dry if somebody merely teaches and does not learn themselves so they're going to be limited in their upper aspect of meaning there are two dimensions of you need to sit in solitude and learn for yourself that's the upper dimension of and then you need to spend time relaying it and delivering it to others now again this is not only to people who are Robin or teachers or rabbonim or Russia Shiva again everybody based on their situation has individuals in their life that they could be ATU so sometimes a person could get carried away with their teaching and hashbah and forget about the acquisition of their own wisdom where their whole learning becomes oh I'm learning just to give it over but I don't have my own inherent pursuit of wisdom I'm not learning any deeper than I need to give over and that the Terminator says is wrong on the other hand if somebody only learns themself and does not use what they learn to be able to give over to others in their capacity that's also deficient so the same way the cat the sphere of cancer has two dimensions a person should have two dimensions in the First Dimension who his boy the dusai bekainai is the contemplation and the solitude with his creator to increase his wisdom and to correct it now for those who have an inclination towards casidos when they see the word they get very excited oh this is uh you know what ravnakman recommended that one should go into Solitude and just so to speak commune with God however rev Goldberg Yeshiva is he interprets his refers to personal study meaning let's say a person's a maggots here let's say you're you know you give a share so okay so I'm gonna prepare the gamara to add not not to the extent that my mind is able to grasp in other words if a person gives a share the danger is okay I'm only gonna learn deep enough to give it over to the tal medium but I'm not gonna push myself maybe I personally have a higher capacity I don't mean me I mean maybe the maggot cheer has a higher capacity and he's not going to push himself to exert his intellectual Acumen to understand it according to his level and with Goldberg cites the writings of hezeda that so to speak when he's learning something he's not thinking oh okay how am I going to say this over how am I going to get away with this in this year how am I going to get away with this in the class no when you learn yourself you saw so to speak are supposed to and this is a challenge put aside your responsibility to your tamidam and you need to be listening to your own intellect in your own mind to fully experience and fulfill your personal obligation of the upper realm of wisdom which is your your contemplation and Solitude to increase your own wisdom but then there's another aspect don't suffice well you know I'm just gonna sit in my four qubits and learn from myself hashemi La Lami binay Adam to teach people from that wisdom then Hashem bestowed upon you meaning it's not enough to learn one should relate it to to whoever is in their Circle just like the sphere of wisdom influences each manifestation of God's Divinity according to its sheer and need meaning infuses all the spheroids with wisdom likewise one should be careful to bestow kafishir sukhlay according to one's intellect what he can be love and what's appropriate for him that sarka and what he needs meaning just like the spirit of bestows wisdom to each sphera in accordance with what each Sphero needs meaning Bina may need this degree of yes so it may need that degree of because it may need a different degree is careful not to just um shower each sphere with unlimited but it's very it's very careful and it's very Discerning in how much wisdom it dishes out based on what each Sphero needs so too the teacher should be aware of the needs of the student and give over to the student in accordance with what the student needs and is capable of understanding once be careful from giving more than the measurement of the intellect of who you're influencing you don't want to cause harm because if you sort of pour more than can be handled it could actually harm the student so just like God's sphere of pours with with in accordance with what each Spirit needs because the upper Spirit does not add on the on the limitations of the ability of the recipient so basically the point is one should emulate the the middle of two aspects which is the first aspect is looking up toward cassar and the second aspect is looking down toward the other spheros likewise one needs to have so to speak two objectives one their own personal pursuit of wisdom and then separate from that in other words you don't just acquire wisdom to give it over you acquire wisdom to for yourself and besides that to be able to share to the extent that the banishum allows us okay everybody say thank you everyone for joining and as Hashem we will continue in paragimo on Monday wishing everyone an amazing
