Some People Are Portraits: Perfect, But Lifeless

good morning everybody welcome thank you very much for joining us on this wonderful morning the third day of year 5781 april 15 2021 and a wonderful shabbos and a wonderful week to everybody just before we begin i'll announce that sunday we will be having two special classes by the way you guys could see me and hear me just give me a thumbs up yeah okay sunday we'll be having bayesia hashem two special classes on uh everybody now who those who learned the da fiemi started masaki yuma which will be going for the next uh approximately three months so we're going to be learning sunday a special sichu by the labor chief which is the soul of explanation on the beginning and at the end of massachusetts which explores the topics of what happens to you when you get married why the cayenne goddess had to be married the revolution of rabbi akiva in chuva a small step for man a giant step for god many other fascinating topics that's going to be sunday morning 10 o'clock am eastern time and then again sunday evening 9 o'clock p.m eastern time right here on the yoshida.net everybody is welcome monday morning we'll resume our hasidis class as usual 7 30 a.m okay if you didn't open your source sheets yet please do that as always if you go to the yeshiva.net on the top or on the bottom of the video you can either view or download the source sheets so you can follow along with us in the text last year monday morning we began the mir who's farting 1951. i do have to say i got a call after the class from somebody and he said that he's a rabbi he has smith he was ordained in the rabbinate but he never knew what imer hatsunufa means he heard the words we say it every night by smirrah baymar had tanufa he just never know what it means he didn't know what it means severe asymmetry so sometimes even people who've learned and spent many years in yeshiva and got a jewish education because the basic terminology of things are unknown to them because we sometimes skip over the basics and get to all types of explanations and insights without really understanding what's oimer what's the carbonymore why is it called eimer what's virashoemer what's emirate etc he was thanking me for the introduction i gave it exp discussing the basic mechanisms so that was uh that was very nice to hear and it's generally important that's why when you learn mashnias you learn rambam especially rambam mishna torah you get the bird's eye view the summation of all you know the structure of how judaism works and every single aspect of jewish law that's the uniqueness of the rambam's mission attire so what's the summation of what we learned that there is the mitzvah of bringing the aimer and then there is the mitzvah of counting the count of 49 they count that follows the bringing of the um yet the terror emphasizes the words makhara sashabus even though it was really maharas it was the day after pace of the second day of pesach not the day after shabbos has discussed the great debate between the suduses and the khachamis rao we went into the discussion that sphere assaymer is unique because the carbon either the offering that was brought as a prerequisite to the counting is the only one besides one more that was brought from barley flour every other meal offering was brought from wheat besides this and the mineral and the question is why the gemara commissioner says by the site that animal behavior warrants an offering of animal father but what about carbonimer and the answer is exactly that that the spherus aimer the carbonyma represents the work with the animal inside of us the work with the animal soul and the point that we explained and we explored was the development the idea behind the pasek and the sheriff the opening of this is right away in the beginning of chapter one i think it's possible where the bride speaks about the groom and says what does draw me in pull me in after you we shall run the grammar here is apparently strange you begin with pull me in and then you follow with after you we shall run am i we talking about an individual or we're talking about a collective group you begin with singular language and then you continue with plural language and then narutsa so it's difficult to understand what's the syntax what's the con the the structure of this and then it continues having we're talking about the future and then we talk all to the past the point of all of this is that the truth is that the this passage is referring to three different stages in jewish history mushreni refers to ethios mitzrayim the first day of pesach is the counting of the aymer as we'll see what's the idea of this itis mitsrayam was a gift from above god takes you out of the abyss he emancipates you from subjugation to bondage to slavery the whole experience of insurance material was for essa eskamal khan finasharim as the pos success i lifted you up on the wings of eagles revealed himself to the children to the israelites and he emancipated them in other words it's a revelation it's a gift that comes from above irrelevant where the person is sometimes there are moments in life where you're just plucked out of your present situation and you're transported into another place not by virtue of your own work and resources and creativity no the jews on their own were submerged as the ghazal say our sages say in 49 gates of impurity means two things first of all pull me out as rashi says there that god told me god told me that he will pull me out mushreni represents that it's something that's coming from above somebody is schlepping me somebody is taking me and that's why it's only in the plur in the singular because who was moved by this the divine soul the divine soul which has an antenna that detects the divine vibrations of reality is moved by it but the animal salt that also is not moved by it doesn't get it it doesn't see it it doesn't perceive it it doesn't experience it that's he went to the whole explanation of the altar and tanya why the jews had to run away from israel they couldn't do it consensually there was an element of running away why because they were running away from a part in themselves there's a voice in themselves that says you're still subjugated you're still enslaved that's all you'd see is mitzvah the jews themselves were not caleb they were not yet vessels containers who can fully grasp and absorb and internalize the experience they were not there yet the animal soul was not ready for it it was like a shock treatment it was a startling experience it was something completely beyond their caleb beyond themselves beyond their vessels looks like an extraordinary revelation out of the blue a moment before a moment and year earlier they were slaves and for years they were subjugated stripped from their dignity a slavery mentality and that's why throughout the years in the desert whenever there were problems there were many who said let's just go back you know the stockholm syndrome and the battered woman syndrome it's like let's just go back there at least it's familiar you know familiar evil is better than anything else in other words very often we see that somebody can be taken into freedom but so they were taken out of exile but the exile has not been taken out of them and therefore when crisis resurfaces you come back to that you go back to that default mode which is slavery so it's a very profound idea their divine soul was moved because the divine soul is always moved by a lacus it's it's in touch with it but the nephesha bahamas that's the animal consciousness of a person this puts us in the category of all of the zoological species we're called homo sapiens you know we're sapiens it's part of the animal structure part of the yes sophisticated animals animals who know how to build museums and universities and even hospitals and theaters and gymnasiums and coliseums and and art galleries stadiums shopping centers malls very sophisticated sapiens no question but ultimately sapiens this is the dimension of human consciousness which we call it the nephesha bahamas the term originates from rabbi vital the great student of the arizona the capitalist 16th century damascus and swas and then discussed and elaborated in many subsequent books especially the tanya which right away chapter one introduces the idea of the two souls a tale life is a tale of two souls and not in two cities london and paris but in one city so in the animal soul was not moved the animal soul in fact remained in its full intensity and therefore they had to run so now we can understand moshe knee now come stage two naruto after you we shall run now begins the avoider of what of spheres aim with the counting of the image which is avoidable not the gift that comes from above but the initiation that comes from below mil mata lamaila versus that's why it doesn't say it's not mushrain anymore is you're pulling me my root says no we're running i'm creating the dynamic i'm initiating the momentum you're not schlepping me i'm running i'm running after you that's difference number one difference number two is here it's washing because that's what it means that we are running we are running meaning all parts how what happened here i engaged also my animal soul that's the avoid of sirius aimer to be able to not just address my godly soul but also permeate my animal soul and that happens only after you see his menstrual chamber i wasn't sure we're up to page 65 in the in the if you open up the source sheets it's page 65 in the middle of the page and the line starts chaser [Music] in hebrew means we shall run in yiddish running is lyfen right gay life is go run life means running so he so he's translating alain means yourself you do it by yourself so so the reb is translating here the the my mario were all set in yiddish including the balatanya all the maimarim including the balsham they all said their word their my martyrdom their discourses in yiddish but the writers wrote them down in los angeles you know the ordinary language of writing down torah but sometimes when there was like an expression that was that was you know very uh telling or characteristic i guess the writer felt guilty you know not to get the authentic original language so that's why sometimes you'll see in a miami in parentheses a few words in your dish the whole mimer was in your dish but these words i guess the writer felt we can't we can't scratch it from the text it's it's it's too uh it's too telling so here too the rebbe says that machene is you're being pulled narutsa is you're running on your own right so he says a lane life you're running yourself you're running yourself it's not like it's not like you're you're you're you're on uh you get into a vehicle and the vehicle is moving for you no a lane life and you're pushing running and running is work those of you who run you know it's work it's avoided it's not being schlepped i get into the car so the car is slapping me i get into the plane the plane is taking me whatever it is whatever the vehicle is you know in the airport right you have those what do they call those walkways you get on and it's a schlepped you just you know you put your suitcases on sir schlep that's not narutsa or it says alain life a life you're running you've got to exert yourself this is avoid what it means avoid always means i'm working with my animal soul that's avoided because the godly soul is in the godly soul is tuned in may be concealed but it's always tuned in when you see this material happens the godly soul is on fire but the animal soul doesn't know what happened you know they say there's three types of people right those who make things happen those who watch things happen and those who want to know what happened so after he'd see his mitsuram the animal soul says what happened something happened god took you out of that it doesn't understand the language of liberation doesn't understand that language you know go bring a horse into a into a concert into a concert go bring a horse into an art gallery horses are amazing animals amazing creatures horses but a horse is a horse so the animal soul on its own on its own without avoider there's a there's a primal instinct there primal energy but without the persons working with the nephesh of bahamas there is a detachment that's why you had to run away because in ephesian bahamas was in full turkey for full strength now begins the next step so now we continue inside again it's a little below the middle of the page one two let's see from the top it's one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17. seventeen lines from the top the line starts shazam after the period we're holding at the words vesel this is also the meticulous this is also the pursuit ah what are you using the text if you go to the yoshiba.net the video has text so the source sheets i actually have the safer it's safe for my mom to option you and olive but i happen to be using the soy streets on the website this is also the precision of the word naruto which means we're going to run the focus is on running because there's something unique that happens when the void is done with the animal soul it's in a way of it it could be defined as running when the animal soul is drawn to something it's always with passion it runs to it it doesn't walk to it it runs to it when you're dealing with the animal soul there's no slow motion there's no slow movement we're going to walk slowly the animal soul knows the language of passion that's its language isn't this a parallel to the uh conversation with yaakov and aesop yaakov says i go slowly he's speaking the language of the divine soul exactly exactly in the conversation of yaakov and some parishes vaishla after they reconcile asap wants to run he's in a rush and yaakov says the word is i'm going to walk slowly it's not just two brothers it's two languages and here we're going to discover something very revolutionary and this is one of the revolutions of siddhis usually in the polarity between the animals on the divine soul you know the animal soul gets bad rap and the divine soul gets good rap divine soul is divine and animal souls are behemoth and there's a truth to that there's an animal soul and there's a godly soul and you can't compare the animal countries in the godly consciousness but siddhis comes and teaches there's also another dimension there's a reason that we have to have a relationship with our animal soul there's a reason that the godly soul had to descend and become tucked in and fused and married and connected to the animal soul it's not just a tragic error it's not even just a tragic test it's not even just a trial to overcome and see if you can abstain from temptation no that's all the periphery that's all the basics there's something much deeper there's an energy that you can only acquire through asuf ace of needs yaakov but yaakov also needs aesop that's a whole that's that's that's a that's that's what we call the holistic approach of of the cosmos it's not just yaakov ketel ace of you know let's i want to cut off from you and let's be at peace but in different worlds no ace of must have yaakov but yaakov must have aself it's like we learned a few years ago that my mother moved to the balatanga and parish told us about ace of his toyo chaos yaakov toyo must have tikkun to be able to be repaired but tikkun needs taiyo to be able to get the real energy so let's see the way it's manifested here the animal soul he says doesn't know the language of slow motion it doesn't know what it means it knows the language of passion i run i long i learn there is a strong intensity there's a fire there's an electricity with the animal soul it's one of two extremes either it's not interested at all it's not engaged at all there's nothing in a lacusan godliness that speaks to it so i'm completely not engaged disengaged or if i am engaged it's it's with an ex it's with a it's with a fire there's an extremism to it there is a power there there's momentum there is oomph there's gusto there's passion when the animal soul is affected when it's moved it's not just moved slowly it's moved completely it's now running if it's not moved it's not moved it's like you know don't don't wake up the sleeping bear i'm busy i'm busy hibernating i'm not engaged but if for some reason it it's touched the deficient bahamas it has the quality of that animal and we all know that animals at least many animals are much more powerful than people their middles are much more powerful than people we have the cerebral dimension the cognitive dimension that is so developed in the human being the prefrontal cortex that is so developed cool and collective and thought out and we contain ourselves but when you look at the passion the alacrity the intensity the intensity of the animal it's primal you know i don't know if you ever were in the jungles and you you know you watched the the lioness the lioness chasing her her prey to feed her family or or the tiger or the cheetah okay these are the real undomesticated powerful mammals there's an intensity there's a primal passion and it speaks to us we all know it speaks to us because that's a that's it's a picture of our nephew bahamas that's why people are fascinated by animals by the way because animals you know and this is from a jewish approach you know there's an approach that that believes you know people are animals and there's no difference obviously that's not the jewish approach that celebrates but we can find ourselves in every animal because we have a nephesh of bahamas and the animal is a mirror or our nephesha bahamas is a mirror of that animal of course in a different way but it reminds us of ourselves you know i i i particularly enjoy watching animals and their behaviors and so forth and you know it's not just it's interesting no question it's interesting it's scientifically it's interesting and sometimes you know so many but there's also it's interesting spiritually it's interesting emotionally because you you could find yourself there there's something in the nephesha bahamas that has in it the imprint of every animal so in every animal we can find ourselves not just in every animal and every bird in every insect this is not my hiddish it says games unbelievable the world exists in our heart it says in average derived the human being is called the miniature world what does this mean so it says in siddhas it says that the is reflected and miniature in the island there's nothing in the outer reality there's nothing in the macro that is not in the micro every nukuda that you observe on the planet and not only on the planet or the entire universe is reflected in your heart in fact according to the bashamtv the reason you see it and you know about it is in order for you to do something with it i am i am this i we you and i are in charge of tikkun ila so every aspect of the universe is a mirror of something happening inside of us and we are mirroring that which is happening outside of us so there's always a relationship there's a very deep kinship the adam encompasses the entire the totality of creation so when you're talking about animals this is a reflection of our own efforts bahamas what do we see with the animal that sometimes animals asleep you know some of these animals sleep most of the day not interested but when the animal is engaged there is that my root said there is that that terrible terrible and a good way tremendous intensity and passion and this is the uniqueness of the animal song this doesn't exist by the divine son when the animal soul is drawn to the divine in this way of a marutza with this longing and this intensity it affects also the divine soul the godly soul on its own doesn't possess this quality her gravitation her connection her is that i i'm i i gravitate to something i'm connected to something i'm pulled to something her gravitation to godliness is means with measurements with limitation it's the animal soul when engaged that gives the divine soul a whole new dimension of light a whole dimension of energy that the godly soul learns about passion it learns how to transcend a relationship based on structure and limitations unless you're saying we're talking about the divine soul as it's already just emerged into distinct entity to quote the phrase from 20 years ago you're asking a good you're asking a good question if the adam of the divine soul kami as it says in svarim and natanya chapter 2. the quote is already from earlier so what do you mean it's finite if it's a fragment of the divide however you explain fragment but if it's a piece of the divine it's not limited the answer is we're talking here about the divine soul the way it assumes a distinct identity that's very true in other words yes if you take the divine soul back to its original original source it's beyond hagbala but the way the divine soul assumes a distinct identity a structure it has seiko it has as a time he continues every soul has ten and there's a certain element of structure holy structure divine structure just like hashem himself the question you're asking is about hashem himself how can it be serious by hashem god is limited what he said the answer is hashem is not unlimited but hashem chooses to manifest himself so to speak within 10 characteristics that have some definition and some description and some it did the vague bullet again the word medivh is always relative you know to whom and to where what context and what it means but there's some element of structure basically here is the inefficiency as it's as it's already within the stars on whatever level yes yes yes this is the right this is the navigation it is the way it's already in segregation which means within a structural identity there's identity there's structure and there's focus and this is its uniqueness this this is its contribution here is not a disadvantage in many ways it's it's a compliment in other words things are measured like we speak about in the brain for example does the we often talk about the difference in the amygdala part of the brain and the prefrontal cortex limbic brain reptilian brain prefrontal cortex allows you yeah to be thought out it allows you to be thoughtful it allows you to delay gratification it allows you to have long-term vision it allows you to weigh pros and cons you're in a much more sophisticated mode where there's broad choices from a broad spectrum of things and you can navigate you're not in survival mode you know a fight or flight which is intense now what is true i wasn't thinking of talking about trauma today what is trauma trauma is that amygdala gets fired up you know like the fire alarm in your house you know you know when the fire alarm in your house serves a very important function if god forbid there's a fire fire alarm goes on yeah so the fire department is called and the police are called and the family is alert and the neighbors are alert but what happens when the fire alarm is broken and it goes off every 20 minutes yeah so suddenly you're sitting and you're trying to sleep you're trying to relax and totally and you know what a fire alarm sounds like yeah so that's what happens in trauma that amygdala is is fired up and it doesn't stop you don't know the code to be able to stop it the danger is over everybody say the danger is over you don't have to be you don't have to be so fired up because it's basically operating on that primal level very primitive and primal level so now so let's understand this the nephew shalikis is godly it's always connected however the never shall it is by definition is measured it believes in measurement it believes in discipline and in structure and in insane and an organization that's it that's that's because it it it's responsible i believe animals have individual or there's just one uh metfish or life force for all animals it's an interesting question so the truth is that results says you want to know if animals of animals have individual personalities and the answer is yes the result says that every single thing has a soul by the way not only animals every tree has its own soul every rock every niver even diamond even in organic matter that rizal writes has a nephesh it has a soul now when that result said it in the 1500s it seemed a little strange you know you had to believe him today you don't have to believe him anymore you look at anything under a microscope right and even and even more the tools that we have not developed yet there's a whole universe a whole dynamic universe yeah in the tiniest drop of water in the tiniest grain of sand or flake of snow i mean you talk about the molecular and atomic level of reality there is so much movement and excitement and harmony and symmetry and design it's incredible never mind does that mean if an animal dies so one it's it's one integrated soul an organism that that's lost now and it's now become when an animal dies of course yeah you can't compare that the soul of the animal to the soul of the person obviously the rabbum discusses this every creature has its own type of soul its own unique soul but the soul ultimately from from the hasidic point of view the soul represents the divine chemistry the divine dna that makes up the very existence the very stuff of this animal of this creature sustains it creates it gives it vitality vivifies it gives it its ultimate design function and purpose the soul also represents its purposefulness from the divine perspective and every animal serves its purpose huh if a stone has a nephesh called the ariza so i throw the stone on the floor it splits into two is it now is it now is it now is it is it one of those is one so you're saying a soul has a sort of a you're saying if a stone has a soul and you throw the stone down it splits into two right or you exit you separate so what happens now did you split a soul into two and the answer to that is when you say a soul has a stone you have to you have to define it whatever happens to the stone on a molecular level and an atomic level that's just a reflection of what happens on a spiritual level because the soul the spirituality is tucked in it's manifested through the physical composition through the physical chemistry of it so whatever happens on a physical level happens also on a spiritual level just like we split an atom right splitting an atom and releases a lot of momentum the same is true with a cell every dynamic of debris so therefore when we're talking about animals every individual animal has its unique nephesh that gives it first of all its existence and second of all it's chios it's vitality when it's alive if the animal dies obviously it has now a different type of different type of soul different type of divine energy and ultimately it will decompose and become part of the soil or become part of other animals that's how the food chain works the food web works because it's all ultimately the nutrients are also spiritual energy it's all spiritual energy and then it's compartmentalized disintegrated and it goes back to feed the world again remember there's a chain nothing is completely lost it just morphs in from one form to another form to try to interrupt but uh so the idea being that if a person fails to develop his or her human potential then uh it if a person doesn't develop themselves at all what's their destiny and the answer is that ultimately every every soul comes to its tikkun every soul which is a helical kami mal the shallow rights the diaries all rights there are many fanuries the great kabbalists write that ultimately every single soul because of it's a piece of hashem never gets lost completely you may have to go through a lot of you know it has to go through many winding journeys and winding roads but ultimately it's nature matay maisie odelis it's it's it's it's a fragment of infinity of the divine it's going to come it's going to come to a tikkun every single song no soul is ultimately you know perishes and lost forever you are the few gomorrahs in rosh hashanah in other places where it sounds like some souls are cut off forever and ever and ever but this is a long discussion in in the swarm of kabbalah then ultimately every soul goes and has to go through journeys but it comes it comes to some type of tickle so now so let's no i'm talking i'm talking here about the godly soul the godly soul of the jew which is nefer which ultimately comes to tikkun the divine energy and everything the divine energy and everything ultimately will also be sublimated yeah but you can't compare the ana the soul in an animal is not like the soul and a person it's a completely different soul you can't compare that soul so it's a completely different different soul in other words the conscious animal soul is not the conscious human soul but in every single thing in the world including in animals there is divine energy so now so so so let's so let's bring this together the animal soul has something that the godly soul does not have even though it's an animal and that is energy passion intensity and that's where the godly soul needs the animal soul that's why you have to be careful when it comes especially to education not to destroy human creativity not to destroy human energy because sometimes we see that the animal souls energy is being harnessed in the wrong way but it's powerful energy it's raw it needs direction but don't destroy it don't obliterate it because when you obliterate that energy you don't only fail the animal soul you fail also the godly soul for the godly soul to experience the running roots of the life it needs to have the animal soul what is the difference between these two souls the never shall the soul of a person that we call divine what does it mean it's divine it relates to the divine perspective of reality it's sensitive to the divine perspective of reality it sees the world through a spiritual lens it sees the world through a godly lens those are its interests those are its passions this is important to understand this is these are this is critical information my friend so tune in the godly soul sees the world through a divine lens that's how it sees the world what does it appreciate it's its appetite is therefore to holiness to transcendence to godliness this is how it sees the world this is how it it perceives the world it perceives the world as a very meaningful place perceives the world as a place that is filled with uh pulsating spiritual divine energy that's its experience of life that's its experience of reality it doesn't see the world as a fragmented materialistic physical brute and coarse place it does not it sees it from the lens of hashem it sees the world with the microscopic with microscopically spiritual eyes and therefore it its longings it appreciates those components of of creation the nephesha bahamas doesn't have that vision the nephesh of bahamas is very simple in many ways it's very brute it's animalistic it's an animal animals are not bad animals are very cute the gemara we have a biblical prohibition against aggravating animals and by the way that's your animal too your own animal too we have the gemara in bronchus that says that before you feed yourself you have to feed your animal right you're not gonna eat breakfast as long as you didn't give breakfast to your animal there's been a satisf for the animal soul krishna is for the divine soul it's not everywhere right why because you now let us feed the divine soul before you feed the animal soul so you're feeding the animal soul krishna you're feeding the godly soul first you have to feed the behemoth then you can feed the person within yourself you have to feed the animal before you feed this per person so the animal soul is is brute it's coarse it's and it's primal it's simplistic it sees the world like an animal sees the world how does an animal see the world they're very delicious a lot of animals are delicious we like animals they're cute they could be dangerous oh yeah yeah yeah if you don't discipline your animal soul it can become a monster if you don't discipline your little gorilla if you don't discipline your little cute chimp or monkey if you don't discipline the little little bull inside of you it can grow up with big horns and it can glory it can gore it's dangerous if an animal is not tamed discipline the dog too if you don't teach the dog who's boss you know what happens right the alpha male if you don't teach the dog who's boss it's very dangerous the animal must know its place in the world if it knows its place in the world then it's gevaldic if it doesn't know its place in the world it can be very very dangerous even lethal it starts off as a cute little baby as a cute little cub as a cute little calf but it's going to grow up i'm talking now the animal inside of me this is where discipline comes in right the deposit is yates sir lev adam rami nurof ayar ayer pere person is born undomesticated left to his own devices the animal will be completely wild this is where the nephesh alakis is so necessary the netflix on the case is all about structure self-restraint discipline understanding what's good what's not good seeing the world from a deeper place purpose meaning but the animal has one advantage over the godly soul and that is intensity passion fire that uninhibited energy that is dangerous when it's harnessed is unbelievably powerful and the godly soul learns how to serve god from the animal soul as long as the animal soul is not engaged it's not engaged it's not it's not it's not interested but when you ignite when you put on the fire when you find the pilot in your nephesha bahamas and you kindle it and you ignite it oh now there's a piece so often this is so important because people feel guilty people that have very intense levels of energy and i don't just don't i don't only mean energy that they their workaholics they work hard i'm talking about intimate energy sensual energy sexual energy a lot of energy so part of of a moral upbringing is you gotta tame it you gotta deny it you gotta repress it you gotta obliterate it you gotta get rid of it you have to silence it what the reb is teaching us here is based on the minor of the bala tanya is no no yes sometimes you have to silence it sometimes you have to you know you have to calm it down but ultimately the real purpose is is to mobilize it you want to you want to draft it into your war you need your animal soul as a full ally because it's going to give you something that the godly soul the godly soul is a refined angel but then every bahamas will give you the passion the energy that the godly soul can't give you lmi you have to be able to talk its language in order to be able to draft it into the life of godliness into a life of kadusa and to a life of purpose but for this you have to tune into the frequency of the animal salt you have to tune into its energy if you're going to speak to it the language of of of structure you won't get it you have to tune into the world of the animal in order to be able to engage it you have to you have to have that frequency in yiddish kaitosa al-tarab explains that this is the reason why before krishma we speak for such a long time the whole first blessing about the angels why is that introduction for kriya it's a very interesting introduction like why are we talking about the angels at length if you're familiar with remember the first blessing before shemat length is the answer of course is they're called holy animals why they called holy animals because all of our animals come from them this is the angels that represent the face of the axe and the face of the eagle and the face of the lion and the face of the human all the birds come from the eagle and from the plain nation all the the the undomesticated mammals come from the face of the lion and all the domesticated mammals come from the face of the bull this is an ezekiel's vision of his chariot myself so when we go into this story we're basically helping our animal soul realign itself with its true origin which is the infinite passion of the highest there is you know they used to call some people in yeshiva remember animals means the holy animals the animal is not unholy the animal is not profane animal is holy but you have to bring it back towards kedusha you're saying that is essentially the interface really the spiritual counterpart yeah so the first broker before krishna really allows that the israel won't only affect the divine soul but it will also be able to affect the animal soul in other than the animal soul hashem allah with your whole heart not only with your godly soul also with your animal soul you have to tell the animal soul who the zeider was you have to tell the monkey who its grandfather is you got to tell the monkey inside of you where you come from you're not a behemoth you're you're a holy animal evil horrible animal who we want to hunt down and repress no dish gundle i know you guys don't know how to be quiet off this is how the balatani explains the first blessing of krishna it's an incredible insight because if i come to you and i tell you you know daniel i want to tell you about this great great great individual who's this great sadiq you may like the story but it's not necessarily personal but what if i tell you i want to tell you who your father was who your mother was who your grandfather and grandmother were or your great-grandmother i want to talk to you about your dna about the home you come from about the family you come from it touches me in a different way because this is already me so what do we we talk to the nefesh bahamas and we say you know i want to tell you about some great things leave me alone i'm hungry i'm hungry talk to me about money fine talk to me about food fine you want to talk to me about other cravings i'm good you want to talk to me about power i'll go fine you talk to me about attention i'm also good so we talked to the animal soul now i'm going to talk to you about your zeida i'm going to talk to you about your bob i'm going to talk to you about your own dna where you come from you come from this is you it's you maybe your energy has been distorted you don't realize what it is so the ultimate tickle of the animal soul is not we're going to obliterate our animal soul no yes there are times in life you just have to tame it and and hold it down and discipline it and so forth you know sometimes the animal loses it often but the ultimate of ideas the ultimate avoidable sphere aside there is no roots uh i want to i want to find an outlet i want that the animal souls energy and passion should be able to become fully aligned with its true source and then it creates a different dynamic in either sky it gives the godly soul something that the godly cell doesn't have on its own the godly soul on its own has the power of structure finiteness the animal soul gives it the primal infinity that uninhibitedness that comes precisely from being an animal from being a behemoth from not being sophisticated from not using the prefrontal so much but when it's utilized when it's harnessed when it's mobilized when it's drafted into this hashem when it's drafted into avoidance hashem it's a different level it's a different choice what does this mean in our life what this means in our life is that which is that which you believe is destroying you most is really your greatest ally and we can't emphasize how important that is that energy which you feel is taking you away from god most is really what will bring you closest to hashem as long as you know how to read it as long as you know how to find that counterpart in your descript it's a very high level frequency it's a very high level energy and if yiddish doesn't compete with that level you're right you're done and the truth is that's why we need siddhis so much because hasidis is the energy that competes that doesn't compete it it accommodates it addresses this level of intensity in other words if my yiddish kite i don't want to use the word dull because it's never dull you're talking about yiddish god it's not dull but is more cerebral more more dull more calm right it speaks to my nephew shall a kiss but my nephesha bahamas can't be engaged it has to be repressed and that's what happens to some people i'm going to say this bluntly their religious quest causes them to lose so much of their emotional creativity you hear the baron some people's religious experiences causes them to lose a lot of their emotional creativity you talk to them and there's life missing anybody relates to what i'm talking about like where's the life where's the life you do everything right but you're not alive you do everything right but you're not alive and you know what i don't blame him he couldn't be alive you know why if he would be alive you know what happened he feels that if he would be alive he would be dangerous if i would be alive if i would be in touch with my passions with my emotions i wouldn't be in the basement every morning i couldn't dive in i would be like some of you in a previous reincarnation you know i'm a bohemian or an anarchist you know i belong in the forests i'm a forager i belong with the forests of arizona wyoming south dakota montana wherever wherever it is wherever you your youth has taken you so so yeah i had to i had to cut off that part of myself and you see certain people and there's a certain i don't know it's painful it's like a certain deadness that sets in routine they're routine structure beautiful routine but like there was a hustler see once there's two types of jews he says there's a jew who's like a portrait you know a portrait on the walls always beautiful yeah the portrait on your dining room or your living room is beautiful it's impeccable it's flawless right the guy's always smiling in the portrait he's always smiling always doing the right thing there's only one problem it's a portrait it's not a person it's a portrait it's a picture of a person we call it in uh psychology i think um uh ideation that's addicted to idol uh the ideology ideology so people become um trapped by the idea yeah and so when you hear the person speaking it's not the person it's just you could substitute them for another person who's in the same place yes yes yes ideation i become the idea and i become defined by the idea and i'm just speaking the idea and i'm saying the good things this is not this is god forbid not judgment or any in any case on the contrary sometimes this person feels that this is what saved his life he had to die a little bit in order to live because my emotions are dangerous my energy is dangerous my sexual energy is dangerous my sensual energy is dangerous my passions are dangerous and you know you want to get tylom haba you uh you dumb it down but the only difference then between the rebel who rebels against the norms let's say the jewish community for example is he's taking the fight the fight approach and the other person's taking the flight approach you're right the difference between him and the rebel is fight or flight essentially they're both stuck in the same struggle they're both stuck on the same struggle fight or flight are two sides of the same coin i run away flight because i don't want to confront it and in that process a part of me has to be amputated and it's not necessarily a conscious issue it's just sometimes you know you see somebody and we see ourselves and and where's the life everything you're so good that you're dead you know you're so good you're attacking good you're like good you're good you're gonna get everything you're too good there's only one problem who are you where has your soul gone you're that portrait on the wall it's it's a 50 million dollar painting by rafael or rembrandt 100 million dollar painting and it's beautiful and it's it's consistently beautiful sort of moisture lanky said but then there's a jew he's alive and when you're alive there's always changes this change and everyone's feeling this tension this is the tension between the person and everyone else is just uh i mean it's a bit of a generalization but i certainly felt that when i was in yeshiva so you're saying that when you're in yeshiva it's f b yeshiva or it works the baltruva right smiling from ear to ear no roots and he wants to know why everybody is so bored and monotonous and dull and there's this tension like who is this outsider who is this ufo was coming to disturb our equilibrium who's coming to shake up our holy structures you know relax you stay stay around a few months you become a little more cynical and it happens to people they come in with fire and then the fire goes out and it's just you know ultimately the grind of life is also hard you know somebody got to make a living and and pay bills and your kids grow up and you know you get involved in the daily you know minutia and the daily responsibilities and you often lose that that touch and this is where so so so what's in this speaks about yiddish guide you'll always see there is a frequency of infinity that's always vibrating there because as much as discipline and structure are critical and really critical there's the element of narutsa that you need the animal soul for the animal soul here not only is it not bad it's the best thing that ever happened to you of course it can create challenges because the animal can run in different directions it's very primal but that visceral that visceral experience of judaism that fire burning that electricity that's from the animal soul but for this you have to ignite it you have to you have to present the yiddish guy that the animal soul can go into ecstasy from it can get on fire and that's ah so let's now finish the last few lines you would think is only the divine soul so our roots are should be the animal saul our root sizes no when it comes to naruto it's both we will run because the animal soul brings it back to the divine soul that's the kiddush because the divine soul is not really structured you see if the divine soul was really that's the word answering your question about the divine soul if the divine soul was born in structure it wouldn't be affected by the in uninhibitedness of the animal soul but because the divine soul really is oh salam is this is the key this is the key the divine soul is really infinite it's just dressed up and manifested in structure the animal soul never became manifested in structure that's why it remained an animal it didn't go into those cerebral structures but when it triggers when you trigger it and you harness it towards a lacuse it gives that gift back to the divine soul and the divine soul discovers its own authenticity that transcends limitation that's the gift that the animal soul gives to the divine soul oklahoma represents the entire work of working with my animal soul and it's work because it's an animal i have to work with it it's it's mamish it's it's it's real beerus this is avoided i've worked with animal saul this is what syria cyber represents this becomes the preparation for modern day that stage three the king has brought me into his chambers question we speak about two signs of the kosher animal it chews its cuds and it has split hooves it chews its cut because it has four stomachs does this correspond to the divine salt four stomachs of the four worlds and structure and the animal soul is the split hooves that propel and give us the instinct to run forward and chewing the cut is an internal process as a spoke as opposed to the split hooves which is an external process you're saying the two signs represent this it could be i'm not sure but generally i'm not sure it would work because these are the two signs of the animal these are the two signs of an animal that's kosher so i'm not sure that it would apply here next question the way the signs of the the two kosher signs and pasha shmini on the on the yeshiva.net have an essay of the deeper meaning of the two kosher signs okay next question let's see what's happening here why don't we judge the sight a woman meritoriously and have her bring an animal offering because of animal behavior it's not fear she was only accused of something nothing is proven people are innocent until proven guilty and we know that she could be innocent after she drinks the water it's a wonderful question and the answer is this is not about saying that she's guilty we're addressing a crisis the crisis is that the husband was feeling very uncomfortable let's say she was spending days nights vacations weeks with a particular guy okay so he says you know if we want to be married we got to be loyal to each other and i don't want you secluded with that person you could speak to that person but not secluded do not lock yourself in a house you know and go on vacation for a week to south africa or to new zealand with that person or go into a private space but she does it she she she she violates this so the husband is like okay i'm really uncomfortable in this relationship so as i said in the first class god says i'll be the therapist i will be the couple's therapist and i will intervene because this husband doesn't have trust anymore so god says okay i'll decide and we bring her to the basement she drinks the water and then god decides and if she's if she passes the test then the water doesn't harm her so then unless the husband is more religious than god he takes her back with simah hashem basically vindicated this woman and he said this marriage is good so that's an amazing process now but something something painful happened something pain is obviously a breach of trust here so that's why she brings this offering we're not accusing her but there is there is a very strong there's strong suspicion here doesn't the nepheshella kiss have a natural passion to connect to god what does it mean that the nephesha bahamas makes the narutsa yeah the nephesh ali khis has a natural love and a natural or and a natural passion but because it is called adam not behemoth it's cerebral it's structured it's thought out in a good way within ourselves we have the adam and the behemoth the human in us is cognitive is reflective the animal in us is impulsive the human in us resides in the brain the animal in us so to speak resides in the heart the human in us right is extremely reflective it's thought out its approach to life is one responsibility and structure the animal on the contrary is much more primal instinctive visceral experiential there's an alacrity there's an intensity there's a passion there and it can go both ways it can lose the plot it's an animal of course that divine soul has passion not only that the divine soul inherently is also infinite but it's the animal soul that reveals it in the divine song that's the point one can walk fast one can run slowly the difference is with walking at least one foot is always in contact with the ground it's connected with running at one point in the cycle or rhythm both feet are in the ear reaching higher disconnected this is a beautiful explanation of how the two souls the animal and godly are integrated together in a healthy way and together they can achieve a much higher state of being in consciousness god is so smart and amazing the way he put us together okay i'm sure god appreciates your validation this morning no no i'm not joking hashem is somehow very concerned about what a person does and thinks of life and thinks of the creator so it's actually truth to that you said that only people have this type of godly soul not animals but all creations all animals were created by his word animals were created from hashem's word that means they have a divine energy people were created from pre-existing matter dust the lowest and in animal inanimate matter but then paradoxically god blows in a soul from his own innards making us a paradoxical combination of the lowest dust and the highest so we have two souls and a battle between the two throughout our lives and our mission now there is also jews and non-jews every person has a soul but jews have a unique soul a jewish soul and then every individual has their own soul i don't see this as chauvinistic or superior everyone is able to join and gain a higher type level of soul if they want that or they can be in touch with their own soul it's true every person has a soul every person including the non-jew for sure for sure khabib adams is it the same type of soul of the jewish soul it's not and by the way every single manju has a unique soul and every single human being has their own unique soul so there is a uniqueness and there's a difference in tribes and nations there's the soul of a tribe there's a soul of a nation the soul of the jewish people this is the soul of every person yeah it's true but every person has an ashama that's true every single person drew an andrew i wish everybody a beautiful day a meaningful day an inspiring day a living day and a passionate day question amazing thank you you understood yes amazing i just wish i could give it over to someone but [Music] the there's that's coming out i can't keep up with it but again it's amazing just amazing okay thank you thank you rabbit significa it's good to hear somebody passionate that in the perfection of the shamans and the world and all that like temporally speaking is it now is it in the past is it in the future is it all together and how is our perspective of it occurring in time relate to hashem's disrespectful you know what i'm saying listen it's always happening it's always happening i think it's always happening every moment is this the soul is alive yeah but it's from hashem's point of view is this our son is not yet perfected is the world they have not perfected or is it already done listen obviously we're waiting for goula we're waiting for mashiach to come any moment now and that's the ultimate tickle but every moment the tickle gets deeper and deeper every moment like that as well of course of course every moment is growth every moment though the world becomes higher and higher and higher and higher from the moment of creation by the way the act the act of creation was an act of going from the infinite to the finite from the higher to the lower the moment creation was complete the journey upward began and it never stopped but is it just for us from our point of view no from hashem's point of view also god transformed energy into matter and we transform matter back into energy you know the balatanga said that hashem made from rukhni is gashmi so that we should make from gashmi's god took the spiritual and turned it into the physical so that we take the physical and revert it to spiritual we create integration so the moment creation be finished the word doesn't only mean he finished it comes from the word kala khloe sannefesh kol sannafshi yearning upwards the the climbing upwards creation is the process of descent and then from then began the ascent the aliyah and that doesn't stop never interrupted we choose we choose how to ascend if we're going to ascend straight we're going to ascend through curvy winding paths if we're going to fall in the middle and ascend even higher that's different choices people make but we're always ascending always let me bring one of the great poets of the jewish people he said i run away from you to you but it's not uh like in a year right my point of view it's not 2020 right every day it's one year for the jewish year one year for that that's just the arbitrary right right so what is it how is time i mean obviously this is too much to ask for an answer but how is there that's gonna say anything about how that's temporarily perceived right moment yesterday tomorrow right now is it really so that hashem received today tomorrow it's going to be like this tomorrow right you say that since hashem transcends time so past present and future are all integrated so therefore meshiach came already okay i like that i like that [Music] okay as i always tell the harvard you know there's always an element of humility that's necessary in the discussion of meshiach and every discussion ultimately hashem is the only one you know who who decides exactly when what and how our job is to bring love light and hope into the world to happen quicker different to the different people that ready was speaking about before the very enthusiastic outgoing person and the very sort of withdrawn and quiet person i wanted to mention that i have a very good person that i know who's a um yucca like it's a german jew it's a very different type of jewish person very very restrained very goodbull bondrews he he's he he any call any time of the day or night he'll help another jew his he has a tremendous unison of someone he's actually come hey also so he has what he said and yet he's very you know to get to draw a smile out of him that takes a little bit of work then there's people at the show where he goes well you gotta really work to even get the hello from them we're smiling there's 12 tribes there's a lot of different natures of people we really have to really be sadiquim to open our hearts to really other people other hidden in a very loving way yeah so if aaron is saying that he has a friend you know and he's very very restrained very hard to get a smile out of him but his heart is is very holy as hard as holy and we have to really be able to be at peace within ourselves so we can embrace all types of people with love and not with judgment right yeah so we assume every every person has the uh we don't assume we know we know every person has a soul every jew has a soul that is a killer of course by some people it's accessed more it's revealed more it's conscious more every person is in a different space in terms of their avoidance do we assume that every person can in theory be touched by our efforts and can be elevated every every person can be touched the question is how fast to what degree and in what way but every person could be touched and every person is touched but that can only happen if if i come in with with you know with a spear and a dagger and angry and upset and judgmental and you know and superior complex and holier than thou you know and i'm the real jew and you're the fake jew then they'll close up their defense mechanisms will go up like my defense mechanisms go up and some of us some of us have that issue you know we it's like judaism is color war you know my team is going to win my team has it right your team has it wrong and i'm gonna convince you that we're right and you're wrong and then you'll finally see what the truth is and what happens is it's very hard for them to be effective because people develop defense mechanisms they feel charged they feel this superiority complex and you're really not operating from a deep holistic space you're coming from a place i'm coming from a place of judgment i'm coming from a place of you know color war i'm the green i'm the red team and the red team is better than the blue team or the other way around i don't know you know the students of ruby akiva were great people but they had that challenge of really respecting really respecting another person and another path i think it's so important to be able to to know that yeah you know you may be missing something and i may be missing something and i can give you and you can give me but only when it's coming from a place of humility and openness and the recognition that if i'm really if i really want to teach i really want to affect the positive change i have to be able to see the divinity in you i have to be able to see that holiness in you that godliness the feeling is i'm right and you're wrong and i'm going to win then i lost the plot then i'm just then it's about my ego and when it's about my ego it's not going to be very effective but if it's about the ms it's about the enemies of who you are not just who i am so then i communicate from that space now this is a very subtle these are subtle stuff but we see immediately the difference when somebody feels that you know my way is superior i'm connected everybody else is disconnected everybody else is dead i'm the only one who's alive um you know so you know you may you may be some interesting points you're saying but ultimately my effectiveness will be very very compromised because uh because there's no respect there's no appreciation and there's no real really celebrating the goodness in the other person if to really be able to see the goodness and the holiness and the other person the godliness in them and get rid of the superiority complex and then you could reveal in them their own infinity but just from screaming at you that you know you're a dead person and and you don't know what yiddish guide is and you're you're just a robot and and you're a zombie okay fine so you're told that he's a zombie and a robot you may be right you may be wrong you're probably partially right and partially wrong you know you probably don't know a lot about i'm going to tell you an unbelievable story i heard this from my brother many years ago a very special story um the the imrae ms was the gary reb third gary reb he was the son of the sva-samas his name was alter he passed away in 1948 in jerusalem that's where he's buried he was succeeded by his son the base israel or bistrol alter the imraemes was one of the greatest leaders of world jury in poland before the war he had hundreds of thousands of hasidim unfortunately most of them were decimated during the holocaust the had a son-in-law his name was ichim mayor levine mayor levine ichimayo was actually the name of the first guy rabbi the kidusha harim the great grandfather of the emery emmaus his name was harim rabbit so the imraemos had a son-in-law rip ichimo levin and he was a big asking in our good sister all he was a very big activist he was a leader he he was he he accomplished a lot he worked a lot on behalf of the clown on behalf of the community but he was again he's against the son of the emory emma's he was a real guerrilla hosted this is poland before the second world war rebecca mayor levine was once sent by his father-in-law dimas to germany for shabbos he wanted he should meet a particular jew in germany in particular asking over there somebody who was a social activist a jewish social activist and he stayed in somebody's home in germany now the cultural shock was not easy for him because friday night the men and the women sat at the same table and in gare they didn't do that and gare the man and the book of the boy sat on one table and the women sat at another table this is in poland and here in germany this was a house it was friday night and the men and women are sitting and you know they're they're schmoozing somewhat freely and the vichy mayor was uh you know he was unnerved and a part of him was saying you know this is not the real thing this is not shabbos this is not holy this is not a real jewish home and the the bella boss the host you know he was schmoozing with everybody you know their mens were they were illumine okay remember jamaica obviously he was a guest so you know he was silent the meal was over they benched and everybody went to bed friday night but he went to bed and chameleon went to his room which was right near the dining room and he was doing his own things in the room and suddenly he hears a sound that he did not expect the host the host is uh is learning and he opens the door and he takes a look and he sees that the host is now learning the whole purchase of he's reading the whole part of the room i think with the emmy sent he learned the parachute with er he finished and he said the whole tehillah the man the whole said the whole teal ichimae was shocked friday night you know people are exhausted it's been a long week everybody goes to sleep but this host who he was so dismissive of after the meal on his own nobody knew would say the whole to hillary and learn the whole parsha i don't know when he went to sleep he came home to his father-in-law to imraemus and he said you know this was like schizophrenia this paradox that i saw you know the whole meal was this stuff that was not the way we're used to it and he described what he saw but then you know after after the meal i mean he says the whole tell them i mean and i saw this year shamayim as fear of heaven so his father-in-law said to his son-in-law mayor i sent you this specifically and i'll tell you why if you want to become a leader among the jewish people you're going to have to be able to truly respect and cherish the diversity of claudius you're not going to be able to really appreciate and respect that there are different customs and different traditions and different ways of doing things and some people who will do things that you're really not used to and maybe not comfortable with and realize they may have their own very deep relationship with god he says you don't know too many jews friday night you know who will say the whole time after the meal and read the whole partial with erica don't judge don't dismiss people just because they don't fit into your comfort zone it doesn't mean there's no disagreements it doesn't mean that what you're doing is wrong always or what he's doing is always right it does mean that you have to appreciate the fact that there is a lot of diversity and there's a rainbow and don't turn it into a black and white color or conflict you'll never be a real leader among the jewish people that is what i wanted to teach you very powerful idea you know and that's why we could all see the rainbow and appreciate it you see my separations okay my dearest friends sending you my love and light sending you our love and light both from the animal soul and the godly song have a beautiful and delicious and passionate day thank you oh really i was thinking about an old friend of mine last night or the day before and he um he got very heavy into a type of meditation um brilliant yeah he learned in yeshiva for a year and must use rosh hashida asked us to stay there said he would live within an hour a day but the young man left so now years later he was very heavy into meditation through the meditation is a restriction of the um in relation to women as you're speaking before you were speaking about this the sota you know the sakti of the how the the i'm especially astounded by halal because uh it's it's it's a way to deal with the reality of life the as ready was saying earlier um but like the santa it's it's an extreme example it's rarely explained the husband is very concerned there's a bad situation going on so the halasta shows how to fix it um the person is being attacked by someone else they're allowed to kill actually kill the person according to the halacha so it's it takes into account the whole range of human activity um so with the um with the relations between men and women it's also very clear there's tilapia's there's there's a wagon driver i don't know the water exactly but the wagon driver is supposed to a certain amount of time times in the month and i'm someone who's learning and so it's very it's very awesome how halacha is um um really the basis of everything uh it's it sort of helps is the anchor of the jewish people and the jewish person and the word actually means movement because sometimes it seems like it's limiting you but it's really propelling you because it anchors you and when you're anchored you can move much more and much faster when you have a center you have balance you have a base you have a foundation you live in a moral ambiance there's restrict things you will not do there's red lines you won't cross you know what's right you know what's wrong if you made a mistake you know what the mistake was and you can make men's you can apologize that's all halacha it's the structure that god gave us right on one hand limiting on the other hand liberating because it's very easy to follow to play football on the roof of the building and fall off when you have a fence you can enjoy the game i'd explain this to teenagers you know imagine i put you on the roof of a building beautiful roof okay gevaldic it's six acres you can play football tackle football only one problem it's 40 stories high and there's no fence and what's going to happen is everybody is going to have a miserable game i'm afraid to run anywhere i could fall off and kill myself the greatest favor somebody could do for me is put a fence around the wall they put a fence around the wall we can have fun we can enjoy the game we can enjoy the game of life we want to enjoy the game of life so the fences of halacha don't spoil the game they create the game they allow they give you the structure that allows you to enjoy life to express yourself in a way that will actually be beneficial and meaningful and exciting and that means that there is a fence so yes so that i don't fall off and break my bones that's why it's so important and the animal soul ultimately will thank you for it yeah the animal on its own says what do you need a locker for let's just let's just do whatever we want but let's say i eat whatever i want right or i sleep whenever i want ultimately i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm not gonna like myself i'm not gonna feel good i'm not gonna like myself so doing whatever i want is a strategy for ruin it's not a strategy for growth it's not a strategy for for productivity it's not a strategy for for self-actualization and the animal will realize it the animal will realize it you want to live you want to have fun you want to enjoy life you need the structure of halacha that's the nephew shall i kiss the structure and then the animal soul with its primal gusto and it's visceral reactions gives the nepheshell a kiss something very special and that is it's passion it's primal uninhibitedness and that shidduch is a match made in heaven in order to transform earth
