so we're doing bti T shinid and this is
our third week the first week we did
chapters one and two second week we did
chapters three and four today I would
like to try to do chapters five and six
there are eight chapters total in the m
and we have a couple of weeks until
yudat we're trying to finish this before
yat as a preparation for that day um
let's just quickly review where we've
been and then try to continue on with
chapters 5 and
six so last week was was a tough week I
think there were a lot of Concepts a lot
of very abstract concept Concepts and
nuanced Concepts meaning a lot of stuff
that's similar and the difference
between them is sort
of um you have to understand abstract
Concepts in their fine detail in order
to distinguish between these different
ideas but we learned
about
and remember those words and I could
translate them you know light and life
force and power or potential or whatever
but I don't think that's that helpful to
translate that's akin to calling fil and
filteries or calling a mish a tabernacle
so we're just going to call
it and we spoke about how the
is meaning it gets detached from its
source so like a person has the power to
throw the stone and then he transfers
that power to the stone and now the
stone is flying you don't see the person
anymore the person can walk off and you
wouldn't even see the person you just
see a flying Stone you don't know if a
person threw it or if I don't know maybe
it's a meteorite right so that's k then
we said like with and it's
it's there's always an attachment to The
Source in other words if you see a ray
of sunlight you can trace it
unobstructed to the Sun like if you
can't trace it to the Sun then you're
not seeing the sun light get what I'm
saying um but then between o and K we
said there's a difference that o is not
bious K is bious bious means that it's
invested in the thing so like a light
you can shine a light into a room the
light's just doing its own thing the
light doesn't care what it's shining on
and it doesn't work any differently
based on what it's shining on like
whatever's in the room is in the room
and that's what the light is going to
light up and it's not having it's not
having a relationship with the stuff
that's lighting up high life force is
bopus it invests itself into that which
it is enlivening and therefore it takes
on the form of that which it en enlivens
and it gives it the proper voltage so it
doesn't blow the circuits and all that
stuff and the Paradox the surprise that
we learned last week is that even though
Hashem enlivens the world in a manner of
I mean he does all these things and
they're all
true but this highest this Divine Life
Force although you would think it itself
is
affected through its relationship with
that which it enlivens it is somehow
Transcendent and it's unaffected so it
affects without being
affected that's what we said okay I know
that's like very lofty stuff but that's
what we spoke about last
week uh I mean you're okay with that
more or less and and if we want to
really simplify it to make it really
really really really really simple what
are we talking we're just talking about
the fact
that creation as we know it the World As
We Know It uh is a
uh is a product of divine energy and
we're just talking about different ways
of describing that Divine energy in the
way that it acts upon the creation and
brings about creation these are just
different
perspectives for looking at or different
models perhaps of looking at the way
that Hashem makes the
world okay chapter five
okay but we need to understand can't
leave well enough Al we need to
understand something
better when we're speaking about the
energy the go The Godly energy that
enlivens the world and as we mentioned
before it doesn't just enliven it it
causes it to exist those are two
different
things this Divine energy which creates
and sustains the world there's a fourth
level you are overwhelmed with the three
levels why am I projecting I was
overwhelmed with the three with the
three levels but it wasn't enough three
levels there's a fourth
level there's a fourth
level and we call it Shem which means
name name so now we
have and
Shem light life force
power and
name what do we mean that there's a way
that Hashem enlivens the world that we
refer to as name well without even
reading the next line you me many of you
may be familiar with the concept of
divine
speech that Hashem speaks the world into
being and if you ever learned the second
volume of
Tanya we just finished the first volume
of Tanya in our Monday Tanya class but
in the second volume of T it speaks all
about this concept of how Hashem speaks
the world into being he takes the 22
letters of the Holy Hebrew alphabet and
those are the building blocks of
creation and he sort of plays Scrabble
with the Scrabble tiles and creates the
formula for different created beings
through
arranging different combinations of the
22 letters and that creates the pathway
for the life force for distinct created
beings okay let's let's read the actual
M all
right and as it is
known the teaching of the that is
brought
in like I just said is the second volume
of T deals with cosmology with the
nature of the origin of
creation so there's a teaching of the
that is brought
in that the names shall
call of all the created beings in the
world are letters of divine
speech which devolve forth from the 10
utterances right God said let there be
this let there be that 10 utterances
pronouncements of Creation in
Genesis that are recorded in the T a day
and how
does how does uh all these let their
bees turn into all the names of every
individual created
being
through through changing around the
letters like I called it before the
Scrabble TI tiles or the anagrams okay
so it's like I'll give you a crude
analogy you know on the Periodic
periodic chart of elements you only have
so many I don't remember how many there
are any any nerds here no
at least not the right kind of nerd
someone could Google it too I don't know
how many elements are on the periodic
chart of elements but you want to know
something it's not that many but from
those you can go combine them into all
the different molecules that we have and
that accounts for basically every
material under the sun right so you have
a certain amount of building blocks but
you change those building blocks around
you can
get Limitless results okay so similar
concept there are 22 energies each of
the 22 letters ofes for the holy tongue
are are distinct energies and that
Hashem just combines those letters to
create different things all right so
this is the concept that Hashem creates
through speech and not just speech but
specifically by saying the names of the
things and then they exist
like and Hashem said let there be light
and there was light okay so that's
recorded in the 10 hces that's one of
the 10 utterances let there be light is
one of the 10 utterances but you know
what through using the building blocks
that are in the 10 utterances meaning
the 22 letters we get all the different
things that are not mentioned explicitly
in the
ttra
okay notice a trend any people go to
pattern recognition and it is known the
teaching of the Magid meaning the M
Magid the talid and the successor of the
you notice this he just mentioned the B
now he's mentioning the Magid he's going
through remember this isn't this isn't
the inaugural address but it's the
anniversary of the inaugural address and
this is theb sort of renewing his
commitment as the leader so in that
address is always the mention of the the
whole chain of leadership okay so the
mid said
ALK the
there's a verse that everything that the
person called every living thing that's
its
name so aarish the first
man identified and I'm going to use the
word identify even though that's a
spoiler the names of every living thing
in other words every language has a name
for let's
say
water sure in English water
is water you guys are so smart because
that could have tricked
you but you know what um it's just
convention it's just an agreement that
we call it water and another group of
people call it AWA and some people call
it
o some people call it vaser and those
are just agreements it's just social
convention but the fact that it's called
Mayim that's its actual name so when we
say it says in Toto that aam named the
animals it doesn't mean he came up with
names for them because he's not the only
one who did that everyone in every
language came up with names for
everything it means he identified the
combination of letters that were
yielding this particular created being
and correctly
called out the name so the mag says on
the verse that named all the
animals that the names that Adam called
all of the
animals like it
says this is the wording of
theam said this it is good to call it a
which was a good thing you know
why you know why it was a good thing
that Adam said this thing is good to
call a sh that's it because that's what
it was very good it was a
sh very good sh is an
ax this is their life
force so he was actually accurately
identifying the combination of energetic
building blocks that was
creating these distinct created
beings
according to this he
explains the saying of our sages also
from the
M that mish's naming the animals was an
indication of his great of his great
wisdom this a story The Angels actually
challenged God and said what's the point
of this Adam of this man man and God
said what's the point of him he's wiser
than you he's got greater than you you
want proof go look he's naming the
animals right now well what does it take
such great kma it takes unique kma to
name the animals just make up a sound
and remember it just stick with it BL
okay that BL just remember that that
that thing's called
BL doesn't take but once you understand
no no no he wasn't just making up a
sound and saying let's just stick with
that he was looking at the ax as it
exists down here on the physical plane
and seeing within it its identity it's
spiritual identity and then correctly
labeling that is that the same energy
that par reive so you're going to ask is
that the same energy that parents
receive when they name their children
withes so there's a concept of of AEM CL
and AEM prti there's a name of an what
we call me and a name of an ish ish
means a person but it doesn't mean a
person so much as it means an individual
A
Min uh means the species so sh is not
the name of a particular sh it's a name
of all
oxen Elsie is a particular
cow Elie the
C
okay
so we're going to get to that we're
going to get to that great
question and Hashem told the Angels
his is greater than
your and what's the proof or let me
finish the sentence sh of the
ministering Angels hasem told the Mr
Angels he's got greater than you what's
the proof he's capable of naming these
animals correctly
the fact that was able to accurately
name the animals was because he was able
to perceive their
Source Shi explains over
there in a similar way the names of
people is that what you were
asking not just the name of the species
which in the case of human beings would
be but rather also
is the individual
names what does he say what does the mag
tell us about people's individual
names that the individual name of each
person is
there that is the channel for the life
force that enlivens them and so you ask
about about parents naming their
children yeah what's Reales about it is
not that they make up a name for their
child but they identify the name that
this child already
has there's a Channel of divine energy
that takes this particular pathway of
this formula of this combination of
names by the way it also
says I think in chapter 11 or maybe it's
in chapter
12 it's 11 or 12 that
the way the letters are written meaning
the shapes of the
letters is a visual representation of
the energy flow meaning each of these
building blocks is a different pathway
it's a different way for the Creative
Energy to enter the world um and that's
why they're written differently they
have different a different appearance
they're almost like
idiograms in a way
okay
so a them named the animals we named
them species he correctly identified the
names the magot says that this was him
seeing their source and in fact people's
individual names is the same thing it's
identifying The Source
yeah
what who created this
language KES meaning I know that
as you said in the
beginning so Hashem spoke the world into
being with lashes in other
words
languages like we say the shim lashin
the 70 languages like when YF met par
and Par had 70 steps up to his throne
and every language you knew you could go
a step higher so those are the 70 Proto
nations of the ancient world each one
has its own language so someone made up
those languages after the tower of
Babel
lashes is not a madeup language it is
the fabric of
reality if you call it an
axe that's made up if you call it a Toro
that's made up if you call it a sh
that's what it really is and it's kind
of
a no autum didn't make it up he
identified it that's what I'm saying
Benjamin Franklin didn't invent
electricity either right even though
that's what everyone said you know
Benjamin Franklin invented electricity
really he invented it didn't exist
before
him you know that Isaac Newton invented
gravity Isaac Newton didn't invent
gravity he identified gravity discovered
discovered it it was always
there it was always
there concealed God decide to R certain
things what do you mean it was concealed
there was always lightning popping off
since people existed it wasn't concealed
people just didn't have a name or
actually they did have a name but they
didn't have practical ways of applying
it or channeling it the point is that
when Adam named the animals he wasn't
innovating anything he was identifying
something that was already present in
reality the difference between an
invention and a discovery that's my
point how did he know how did he know
well that's that's the cool thing that's
what the Medan says that Hashem is
telling the ministering angels look
at's look how much he has and apparently
what does kma mean in this casma means
the ability to look at a physical being
as it exists down here and see its
spiritual
Source he was able to look through the
superficial layers and identify the
unique Godly energy that was in that
thing yeah no such thing as an invention
what no such thing as an invention
there's no such thing as an invention
yeah there's such things as an
invention yeah like the floby
the what that vacuum that you put on
your clippers and it sucks up the hair
while you get your haircut the round
poel thing that's an invention
Innovation Abraham Lincoln didn't have a
floby If Abraham Lincoln had a floby he
would have had a better haircut of
course there are inventions people
invent stuff all the time iPhones didn't
exist right when I was a kid you know if
you got lost you had to go borrow a
quarter or you had to do the collect
call you know the collect call thing
that we used to do oh yeah okay of
course there are inventions person to
person call and in
fact you want a great example of
inventions every language in the world
except for L KES is an invention because
people came up with
it they came up with
it all right now we've been discussing
different ways of describing hashem's
Creative Energy we had three
terms now we introduced a fourth term
called Shem which means the name and
that means that Hashem speaks the world
into being and he speaks individual
beings into being and that's why each
individual being has a special unique
name in lashes so far so good it seems
like from our yeah or my perspective or
something I can connect or we hear all
this lingo on manifestation yeah that is
connected to shame where we can't really
tap into the life force other creative
you're saying for you subjectively it's
easier to relate to the concept of name
than to the other ones I'm wondering is
that a level we are meant to connect to
Lang um I don't know if you're telling
me that's your experience I
won't I cannot agree or disagree because
you're reporting your personal
experience if you're asking is there
something about it that lends itself to
being more relatable yeah I have to
think about that and are we are we meant
but I'm not gonna think about it right
now okay and me to tap into these
creative energies right now I just want
you to know about them okay I'm not
telling you what to do about them I just
want you to know about them okay seems
like it'sing it because calls it when it
says yeah I know that also I noticed
that that he used the word K and I
thought I thought K was a distinct level
I thought K was one of the other three
levels a lot of these terms are being
used sort of interchangeably that's why
I say this is very nuanced it's not like
they're totally distinct from each other
they're all very related terms bottom
line they're all ways of describing the
way in which Hashem creates the world
why is that significant why do we
care why you always ask this so one
answer I could give you is just learn it
don't worry about it it's refined ref in
you and making you more sensitive just
yes how is it because you're learning
about things that are spiritual instead
of studying things that are physical and
just that has a refining effect on you
that's my first answer it helps you also
cultivate the and it'll help you
cultivate your awe yeah okay but
secondly so you remember the point of
bagani every my basani is basically
about bringing Hashem back to this world
mssiah right right we want to bring aam
back here all
right so basically what we're trying to
understand the context of this
m is what are we working with this world
is it a place where God is really really
concealed or is it a place where God is
ubiquitously present and it's almost
like really on the cusp of being
revealed which one is it because we want
to bring God's presence back to this
world like how big of a leap is that and
and ultimately like what what I know
what it takes because he said in the
beginning of this m in the beginning of
every BOS lagani M because it says it in
the previous bosani that the way we do
it is through
isaia we spoke about esaia is by
suppressing the negativity within us is
by rechanneling and repurposing the
negativity within us and we spoke about
about going out of our comfort zone and
serving hem in a way of of irrational
devotion and we spoke about in this mare
about the idea of C hasem about the
discipline of being a soldier and that
when you have that that that Devotion to
Hashem that's above rationality then
you're able to refine all the Sparks
remember the Jews went out of Egypt and
they refined all the Sparks or 2002 of
the of the 288 Sparks so I know what I'm
supposed to be doing I know the job
roughly the job description
what I'm trying to understand basically
is like what am I working with we're
trying to transform the world so let me
understand the conditions that the
world is in
like what what what's going to happen
and how is it going to happen if we
reveal Hashem in this world so we're
understanding basically in what way
Hashem is already interacting with the
world and we're breaking it down into
different levels we said and K now we
introduced the category of Shem these
are all just ways for understanding how
AEM is already engaged with the world
okay fine but let's let's keep going
because we could get into interesting
conversations all day long oh my
goodness could we all right let's
continue
um
brackets
just
like what we're saying about the name of
everything both the names of species as
well as the names of
individual
beings which they are referred to in the
Holy
tongue similar not exactly the same
thing but similar
who the foreign language names that's a
KES that's a novel radical Point
here share how can we say that we just
said there's something unique about KES
that it's the name that it's the
language of
creation
whates wasn't created it it's it's not a
creation it's the Creator or it's the
tool of the
Creator so there we understand why the
lashes
names are connected to the actual life
force of every being but the non lashes
names the foreign names how are we
saying that has some deep
connection because everything is
everything is divinely
orchestrated like it's like we find in
the in the words or the books
ofi
Mighty my father you know who that is
the Reb's
father the Reb's father that Deb's
father was not a Debb's father-in-law
was the debba but the's father was a
great m a great uh
cabalist and he writes
here many many places we find this and
there's a footnote 52 that tells us
where to look in those are collected
writings of the Reb's Father which by
the way were smuggled out of Soviet
Russia because the Reb's father was sent
into Exile and it was only with great
sacrifice that the's mother smuggled out
those writings
sh that he is precise
G regarding foreign names the Lade
May and he learns new insights from
these
names as well as Direction in how to
serve hem the's
Father Like I said was a cabalist and
his style of
teachings it's very difficult to study
it's a very unique style but basically
he'll take you'll see some of the
letters for instance that the Reb's
father would write to the rebba he'll
write to the rebba and he'll take
details of whatever the situation is and
break it down um like the date the day
of the week or I'll write to the a
birthday letter oh and you're turning 36
and this is the significance of the
number
36 every single detail and this is the
name of the para this week and this is
the name of the month this month that
ebba father's style is to take every
detail and to unpack cabalistic
significance from it and you see that he
followed this methodology even in the
darkest of times there's a there's a
rashima like a journal entry that the
Deb's father wrote when he was arrested
I when he was arrested by by the
Communists that was not a fun thing and
yet at that time he was reflecting on
the significance of every detail of his
arrest and his imprisonment and he
writes about the significance of the day
of the week and and and about the
significance of his name and his name
Ley and his name yok and and his
mother's name and all the different
details of his life he was reading it
and saying it's all it's all connected
to this situation and then he even
includes in that foreign names of like
cities where he was in Exile and these
are not Lish names these are I don't
even think they're Russian names I mean
he was in kazakistan that's where he was
that's where he passed away but I don't
know where Chile is I don't I don't
doesn't sound like a Slavic name maybe
it is a Slavic name but he like he was
in Exile in a place called Chile and he
talks about the significance of that
name at any rate the point is the first
of all you see how the deba mentions all
of his
predecessors in the bosani m so it's
also a way of the deba working in his
father's name because although the Deb's
father was not a
rebba the debba had a very special
relationship with his father not just as
a father and a son but as a you can't
really call it Reb and because his
father wasn't a rebba but was a a real
teacher student connection so the Reb is
mentioning his father but the point is
that the Reb's father goes as far as to
say it's not just thees names but since
everything's
then it's even foreign names and he he
says my father would do that he would
look at the name of something examples
that I'm thinking of right now are names
of
cities um and he would
read deeper spiritual
significance in those names even though
they're not the Lan Kish names and
there's no significant I mean there's
seemingly no significant seemingly yeah
because we're saying everything
withes signicant because the actual
letters are significant right it's the
building block of creation so but but
who cares if a bunch of people got
together and decided through social
convention to refer to something as a
chair or a table and yet because
everything's so Hashem arranged that as
well on some level and so there's
significance to that as well on some
level okay but let let's let's continue
okay so it comes
out
that The Godly life force that's in
everything regarding which we say to
Hashem you enliven
everything the form of the life
force is referred to as its name because
the way he gives it life is through
speaking its
name but
and we need to
understand how does that
fit how does this fit with what is said
in the discourses in the MIM of the
original M ofat meaning the 20 chapters
from the
previous he says over there the previous
says over there in his my modm that when
we
say you hasem en liveen all that's
referring to and but we're saying
apparently it's not and or it's not only
and it's also Shem so how are we going
to fit this all
together
continues we're still in chapter
five on and here's something also that's
not
understood
and and Shem are like two opposites like
we're trying to split hairs and figure
out how they're different nuances but
seemingly they're like two total
opposites that and also
as we mentioned earlier in the M they're
revealed like I told you if you
see light then it's clearly
revealed if the light's shining then
it's revealed by
definition but not the
name the name is concealed I give you
the biggest proof that the name is
concealed that it was a big deal that
Adam identified the
names when you look at something it has
a name doesn't mean that you recognize
it if you walk into a room and you
say guys I just made a discovery the
lights are
on yeah no kidding Sherlock of course
the lights are on everyone can see if
the lights are on we all could see the
lights are on or I'll make it even more
absurd you walk outside and you go guys
the sun is shining no kidding if the sun
is shining then you could see the sun is
shining but to walk outside and to say I
I see the name of that glowing ball up
there it is called sheemish first of all
don't look at the sun too long it's not
good but that would be pretty cool
except for the fact you probably heard
it somewhere but let's say you just
never heard anything and you whatever
okay when we speak about
Revelation meaning God's energy that is
revealed
that really is best described with this
term which we call
light here's a concept if you learn to
this you'll come across it fairly
often the light is similar to the
luminary you know what that means it's
very simple it just means that light is
pretty indicative of the qualities of
the source of the light
in other
words sunlight is
pretty indicative of what the sun
is or the light is is similar to the mo
it's like an extension of it that's how
light works light is the extension of
the luminary so they're not like super
different from each other the light
resembles the source that it comes
from
and through the light you can ascertain
the greatness of the
luminary in other words you can't like
literally you can't look at the Sun but
by looking at the sunlight you can
deduce some qualities of the
Sun so he gives the example of a candle
flame the light from a candle
flame or
auka or another example the light of a
torch
or
Moonlight or sunlight what's the point
here even if I can't see the moon I
could probably identify a picture that
was taken with
moonlight even if the moon's not in the
shot I could probably identify a picture
that was taken by candle light even if
the candle Flame's not in the shot I
could definitely I mean even I can
identify a picture was taken in sunlight
even if the sun's not in the shot why
because the
is light is indicative
of the
luminary the difference between candle
light and torch light shows you the
difference between a candle on a
torch but not a name of something you
understand what we're saying light
automatically is revelation it's
revealing something about the source
that it comes from but name this
category this level called name it
doesn't give us all that information it
remains he calls it bealum it it remains
cryptic I can know a lot about the mo
the luminary just by looking at the O
that comes from it it's not the same
when I know a name of something to be
able to deduce what it is in its
source I cannot know the personality of
the person by knowing their
name I know the psychics all pretend oh
tell me his name it starts with a B
doesn't it yes oh yes he was a very kind
man but he had a harsh side of him as
well is that true I'm
sensing yes and he wants to communicate
with you is that true oh I'm running out
of energy I need more money what
shouldn't be able to if the
name well here's the thing you would
think we should be able to but no really
was a really incredibly unique thing
that adum was able to do
it nobody
else
oh like can we can we like reverse
engineer it I guess what we're saying is
that's an even greater point I guess
you're bringing out we can't even
reverse engineer this
thing learn that first letter is what
Hashem thought of and then there each of
the letters have like a one of the
elements and they all like right and
that's so great but the reality is if
you know if if your daughter has to
marry a guy who has to meet a guy let's
not rush to marrying them but your
daughter has to meet a guy and someone
says uh want I want her to meet this guy
and you say can I see a profile they say
you don't need a profile let me tell you
his name shouldn't we be able no no no
not so you can go follow up no I'm just
going to tell you his name his name
isim
barel Essence revealed essence revealed
I got
it happily married no I don't know
anything that you're telling me that
we're building up here what we said
today was that KES has energy has power
yeah and yet what we're saying is we we
don't really know the first things about
it even though we know it's re it's like
me saying yeah atomic theory really
admins make everything up I'm looking at
the table right now I don't see any
Adams must not be a true theory well no
one made a claim that you could see
Adams with the naked eye nobody said you
could stare at the table and see the
atams doesn't mean it's not a true
concept same thing here the Shem of
everything Ines makes that thing I'm not
promising you'll be able to see it who
said we can't what who said we can't I'm
saying we can't why are you saying we
can't maybe I can't see the atom how do
you know I can't see into the essence of
the letter it's well if you can then
you've got a marketable skill and you
should make money off of it because most
people can't we get refined enough we'll
be able to oh you
want I don't even want to comment on
this because I don't want to get off
topic but I'm going to tell you you
pushed the button I'm going to tell a
story but I'm goingon to do it in 30
seconds 30 seconds the AL
bat once in one of his states
ofus he told the Ted his Grand son he
said he was looking at the roof beam of
the house and he said I don't see the
beam I see the IUS the ladds which are
creating the
beam the Ala was looking at the physical
world and he was seeing the letters that
make it up okay that's what whatever so
we want to Aspire to that sure but it's
an aspirational level the point is
that's not the default let's get back on
topic the point is that we're saying
here that
is when we talk about Hashem enlivening
the world in a in a manner of a what we
mean is that the product is indicative
of the producer that you're able to look
at something and see the results and
from there deduce what went into it when
we talk about Shem that hashem's
creating the world through naming the
world what we mean is the life force is
very hidden
I'll give you a simple proof that
says you have many people who all go by
that same name how many people you know
who are
named K ble well that's a little bit
more unique because it's two names
combined but let's say I'll find Five
Guys named and it doesn't mean that the
oh you guys will all have the same
personality or the Shad will say listen
we couldn't find that kber or he got
married over it we got another kber same
name same likelihood of success
okay you have people have the same name
but they're not the same in their their
SE and other aspects
and even more than
that even names of species okay because
if you going to go into names of
specific individuals they for sure the
more the more individualized you get the
more differences you're going to find
but let's just talk about aam Min a name
of a species like all oxen are oxen on
some level okay but even that the shame
min
it's still
hidden as evident from the story in the
med where hem was praising all them as
having the ability to identify those
names if those names are so obvious then
it's not a big compliment to say Adam
was capable of identifying
them if the name of something was
shining the way light
shines what's the big deal he was able
to identify it it say impressive as
saying oh the sun is out yeah I know the
sun is out because you see sunlight
that's not impressive but to say this is
called a sh that's impressive because
it's beala meaning he's digging into
something that's
hidden you understand we're describing a
life force of Hashem that's present but
it's hidden it's hidden
so we see from this that that life force
that we describe as the name of
something is in a hidden
State similarly when hasem gets his name
so to speak from Adam Adam says to
Hashem you should be called
Al because you are the you are the
master of all of your
creation So Adam named Hashem well
Hashem had that name before Adam named
him but Adam was able to identify God's
name or at least one of God's
names the reason we describe this
Asma is because he's
identifying something that's
hidden and we may we might
say this is also related to what it
says the name of
the the is quoted in as saying that even
an inanimate object has life in in it
how can you say a stone has life in it I
mean today with atomic theory everybody
knows that there's massive energy in all
matter but I understand a deer is
running around prancing around it has
life in it a stone has life in it we're
saying
yes theb says like this when the says
that something is a means silent inert
inanimate he's not just just describing
its physical state he's also describing
its spiritual State he's saying that
spiritually it is silent in other words
when you look at it you don't necessar
you necessarily don't see the
name everything that
exists reveals godly power because if it
didn't have godly power it wouldn't
exist
everything that exists proclaims
inherently that there is Godly energy
which creates
it similar the concept that every
created being sings a song to hasem what
is it sings a song what key is the song
in it's not a musical song it means that
everything
exists
as a reflection of the divine power and
its very existence proclaims and extols
the power of the
Creator and yet we have things that are
inanimate silent literally means
silent you look at them and you don't
see overtly the godly
power that's his point what he's making
in quoting that even these things where
you look at them and it's not obvious
that there's a godly power in
them they still have a spiritual life
force that enlivens
them and then he goes on and
explains that that hidden life force
is the
name in other words the name is the
hidden life force so the fact that a
stone is a manifestation of incredible
godly
power but we don't see that power unless
we really meditate on it that is the
name quote unquote of the
stone however in the previous RAB M
remember the RAB bosani is explaining
the previous
in the previous he calls it he calls it
light
specifically which is
revealed so which is it is it a light
which is revealed or is it Shem name
which is hidden in other words the way
asem is creating the world is it like
light which reveals the luminary
or is it like a name that's hidden and
doesn't reveal the
Creator well what do you think the
answer really is any I'm gonna B based
on you know you've learned with me more
than twice what do you think the answer
to any question ofius that is formulated
as is it this or is it this depends it
depends is a good answer or both is a
good answer or you could just say yes
yes is it this or is it this is it r or
is it Shem yes and is it EXA or is it
our perception is it our experience or
okay so that I could answer it's not
merely subjective we are describing
objective differences okay we got a few
lines here to finish chapter five I want
to try to finish this off I know it's
getting
late it's also understood that the
previous brings
from that's the AL not from but from
another section of T from the fourth
volume of T letter number 20 from
the an amination of anination of
anination from the
original uh
energy is present in all created
beings are just different levels of
corresponds to Bri and a the point is
that all created beings on every level
of
creation have some glimmer or a glimmer
of a glimmer or at least a glimmer of a
glimmer of a glimmer of the original
energy and the point he's making the
previous Reb is making is that there is
a revelation of The Godly life force in
the created
beings
in other words only God's Essence can
create something from nothing so
therefore the fact that's an axiom only
God's Essence can create something from
nothing in the in between levels of the
spiritual Realms it's not something from
nothing but something from nothing is is
only God's Essence the fact that
something from nothing can be created on
every on any level of creation really
means that God's Essence is present on
every level of
creation so comes out that at least on
some level the fact that things are
being created something from nothing is
an indication of hashem's essence being
present or at least a glimmer of a
glimmer of a glimmer of that presence
Inu which means
Revelation so is it revealed or is it
concealed is it or is it Shem
and the previous goes on and continues
to
explain that
this shines and is drawn down even to
the lowest levels the physical
world if I go up high there you
areem if I go down low he here you
are
that The Godly life force is not only
revealed in the sh up
there like we say the heavens
communicate the greatness of
God rather also down here on the
earth means in the pit meaning the
lowest of the low but even in the lowest
of the low The Godly life force is
revealed like he continues over there
meaning the previous Reb continues over
there
this is a quote from the
previous it is within the ability of
every
person even the simplest
person to know this canal we mentioned
it earlier in this m to know what that
there's a Creator and that creation is a
manifestation of the Creator so what
we're dealing with right now is this
just
position the way that the world exists
when you look at the world is The Godly
energy apparent or is it hidden or means
The Godly energy is apparent and that
every person even a simple person can
identify it Shem means no it's not
apparent it's hidden it's hidden and we
don't see it now the reality is they're
both true and we need we need to know
about both we need to know about the
godliness that is that the world is a
testimony to that when you look at the
world itself the world is a testimony to
a Creator but we also need to know about
The Godly life force which is hidden in
creation and it takes Faith to even
admit that it's
there and again why do we need to know
this first of all just refines you and
makes you makes you more sensitive and
spiritual to know that this stuff exists
but also like I said earlier the bust of
m is always about this project the
project of the Seventh Generation to
bring mhia to reveal hem in this world
so I got to know what this entails what
am I working with how revealed is Hashem
already how hidden is
Hashem get what I'm saying okay heavy
stuff you guys you deserve I don't know
some type of a prize okay thank you
thank you you
