all right
welcome back
today
is pedic test chapter nine
we finished
at least according to the map of tanya
which i've told you before is not
entirely authoritative it was just
written by some guy
but
which is true just somebody doing
his best to try to represent some
concepts in tanya but according to the
map of tanya
chapters one through eight is one color
code
yeah you see over there on the tiny map
yeah tiny maps over there and this in
this classroom
it's blue and you know what's the
significance of blue
one spotlight design
fifteen twenty years ago whenever it was
whenever now
it's just
the tanya map i
i compiled
probably
coming up in a couple weeks on
our 22nd wedding anniversary so i think
we're
thanks i think we're already
sure
i think we were married for two years
when i made the tiny map so i think it's
20 years i knew so the colors are just
spotlight design
um i don't think there's any specific
kabbalistic significance anyways
oh yeah we can come up with it yeah well
if you pay if you pay a thousand dollars
we reveal to you the secret of the color
code like scientology like if you take
the tanya class that's free but to
reveal the secret of the color code the
secret briefcase
thousands of dollars yeah okay
correct that's right wow you guys are
compiling
you know more about me than google
[Laughter]
i don't know
okay
no last week
you were 47.
very good
okay anyways so we finished the first
eight chapters
which she needs a pen a pen
we uh
finished the first eight chapters which
oh my goodness
paula the bengals needed you last night
oh it was a great game
the bangles and the rams you know what
was cool
i had to memorize that there was no la
rams for years i had to remember there's
no la rams and now there's a la ramsey
it's like we're in the 80s again i i now
it's like back to the thing and the
bengals are in the super bowl again that
was like in the 80s so i feel like i
feel comfortable right now okay we're
very happy yeah yeah maybe pac-man will
make a comeback
or donkey kong
no i went to a place actually they have
all these donkey kong i promise oh my
goodness don't even tell me where it is
because i will just
i don't know if you'll go there but i'll
tell you where it
that person you is last week that uh
what person nobody knew you said it was
from the 80s oh gary gygax
from lake geneva
is your favorite game
you want to know something interesting
about donkey kong
so the japanese designer i forget his
name
yeah the japanese designer who created
donkey kong the guy who worked for i
think for nintendo i think they created
donkey kong
anyways he what why is he called donkey
kong if he's a gorilla
should we call gorilla
kong that donkey kong anyways he knew
about king kong he thought he thought
king kong he knew what king meant that
it meant king he thought kong meant
gorilla he thought king kong and king
gorilla so he thought kong meant gorilla
and he thought donkey meant stubborn
so donkey kong was supposed to mean
stubborn gorilla
you want to hear something else
interesting
how many alleyways do you think there
are in manhattan
too many
four
i was thinking like there are no
alleyways north of canal street in
brooklyn there in queens there are in
crown heights there's a lot of alleyways
in manhattan
since the 1800s
they
this by city ordinance there are no
alleyways in manhattan because they want
to maximize the real estate so actually
there are no alloys north of canal
street and there's like four of them
south of canal street and and and
um they're very dangerous
i don't know if they're dangerous i i
think they shoot movies and every movie
that takes place in manhattan shoots in
the courtland alley cortland alley is a
famous alleyway
it's about three four blocks long
crown heights has alleys yeah that's
where we live
nothing but alleys yeah yeah they didn't
put it in the streets
okay [ __ ]
oh i forgot about chapter nine
because it was bengals and donkey kong
and alleyways how who could even
remember chapter nine okay
so
okay so as we said the first eight
chapters are sort of
um i call it the lexicon or the
introduction to the world of tanya so
we know about the two souls we know that
the souls have
coincides
we know the koikes are say hell in
middays we know
those
faculties or kaijus are expressed
through levushim garments
which number three
thought speech in action we know that
the
the the composition of both souls is
that lumas as one corresponding the
other is a
mirror image of each other
um we know that in the world at large as
well there's a dichotomy between clip
and kedusha
and we know that within klippa there are
two gradations right within sitra agra
there are two grades
so the redeemable which we call
clipas noiga the translucent husk and
the irredeemable which will be all
things that are
very good okay so that was the first
eight chapters
all right
now
chapter nine we're returning to a
discussion
of the souls we're getting back to the
souls because that's after all the whole
point of tanya is about the user's
manual for the soul
um and we're going to talk about the
struggle
the struggle between what between the
two souls we know about the two souls
and we're going to talk about where the
battle line is
in that struggle
okay so let's let's talk about
pedic test chapter 9
the location
of the animal soul is in the heart
what does that mean the location it's
not a physical object oh where did i
leave my keys you know i have one of
those things i have it's called a tile
yeah it's probably a tracking device
for me
the chinese
chinese government
okay
anyways
where's where are my keys where they
leave my cup of coffee
if you ever find cold cups of coffee all
around the
i saw a really great meme once
i wish i could relate to it more fully
but i related to it enough to crack up
it said directions for iced coffee
it said
have kids
make coffee
forget you made coffee
find iced coffee
um
somebody told me that i could get uh in
legal trouble if i show it on youtube
oh
yeah so i'm not not sure yeah
i thought it was a joke but somebody
contacted me and told me to
keep it on the down low yeah
i was told that once you put it on
merchandise it's a whole different
category like if you would just put it
on a poster or be one thing but you put
it on an actual piece of merchandise
okay so
when we say that the animal soul is in
the heart we don't mean the physical
location obviously it's not a physical
object to be found in a physical
location what we mean is where does it
get its foothold so to speak i don't
know if that's
an anatomical anomaly to say it gets its
foothold in the heart but
uh yeah the animal soul where is it
gonna get the most leverage
is in in the heart which is the seat of
emotions because the animal soul is
going to use emotional appeals
to try to get its way okay
yeah
becca
in the left ventricle which is full of
blood so you're going to say well the
right ventricle is also full of blood
not oxygenated blood
the left ventricle means the blood
that's going to pump out to your body
the blood that has the life force in it
and that life force as we explained in
the end of chapter one
is called
the
nephs
the living soul vitalizing natural soul
that is the uh
life force of the body okay so that's in
the left ventricle of the
heart and it's yeah
we said in the end of chapter one that
it's in the end
uh and the other chapter one we see it
was said that the
buster bedam
who that the or he that the soul of the
flesh meaning the energy that keeps your
body alive is carried in the blood
but where does the but where does the
blood come from
meaning the renewed blood the useful
blood the oxygenated blood from the left
ventricle
like it also says the blood is the soul
or more probably more accurate the the
the medium
for trans for uh
for bringing the soul the energy of the
soul around all the around the body okay
the loch heyden therefore
cola tybus visporus vikas vida may and
hain bale
all these negative emotional states
like
lust and
pride and anger and anything like that
they're all from the heart
um
and then from the heart hein
mispas they spread out to the whole body
so all of the personality traits of the
animal soul the negative personality
traits negative emotional states
emanate so to speak
from the left ventricle because they are
part and parcel of the
energy known as the survival instinct
which we call the enlivening soul
okay
all right
the gam
then
when the
personality of the animal soul sort of
pumping around the body it goes up to
the brain
and does what up there le hasheville
higher bohem
to get you to think about that emotional
thing
that impulse call it an impulse
but then it goes up to the brain and it
becomes intellectualized it becomes more
of a
uh well he calls it like scheming
at least
once again this hakim means to to start
scheming so
yeah so there's a there's there
there's an impulse which is an emotional
um
let's let's say an emotional
drive towards something
but there's nothing too deep about it
but then it goes from the heart up to
the brain and in the brain you sort of
start
well there's there's two things there's
rationalization you know justifying why
it's okay for me to get what i want
and then there's the scheming like how
am i gonna get it yeah so if the
negative traits are from the left
ventricle does that mean the positive
traits are in the right ventricle
we're gonna find out where the positive
traits are we're gonna find out yeah we
learned that first it comes from the
brain to the heart like the cognitive
and then the emotion that these are
higher
okay so you're asking okay so first of
all why do you have to remember what i'd
have to remember what we learned already
okay just can i get a fresh slate
okay fine
all right so you ask good didn't we
learn
namely you didn't say the chapter number
but i would say chapter three that there
you call it a hierarchy yeah that the
there's the cycle and then there's the
middles okay very good so now you're
saying what's going on here all right
valid question
you remember in chapter six when it
described the
composition of the animal soul and it
said it's basically the mirror image of
the godly soul
and said how the godly soul
has sachel and middle is three
intellectual faculties and seven
emotional faculties and then we said the
in chapter six we said that the
the animal soul is the reverse has
um
seven emotional faculties and three
intellectual faculties
and i pointed out back then like oh it's
interesting it flips the order
and i mentioned though it doesn't mean
that
remember in chapter three the
relationship between segal and midless
was described as a remember which
parent-child relationship
so it doesn't mean
in chapter six when it mentions the
emotions first and then the intellect
that
whose parent and whose child has been
reversed
you're correct to say that
the mechanics are that emotions always
are the children of intellect
that doesn't get reversed what gets
reversed is
who's in control
so in a healthy situation the parents
are in control in a dysfunctional
situation the children are in control
okay so
in the sense that you cannot have an
emotional desire for something if you
don't first know about it
so the emotions are still the children
of the intellect even in the animal soul
because the animal soul first knew about
this thing
and then developed an emotional
attachment to it okay but it doesn't
stop there what happens is then the real
work of the animal soul is to send that
emotional impulse back up to the brain
to now
enlist the brain to work for the heart
to rationalize
what it is that you want so you can do
it guilt-free
and also to scheme and to plot how
you're gonna get it what happened here
what do you say what do you mean by the
issue like if i wanted to deal with this
where should i try to head it off
well good luck in not knowing about
anything that could tempt you
so i don't think that's where the
i don't think that's the uh
approach to take
so you know what this is this is a
wonderful question this question
actually will drive the next
uh
well may i i was going to say the next
uh
six chapters
but really in a certain way it redrives
the rest of the whole book
we're slowly becoming aware of what the
nature of the conflict is and so you're
asking a logical question which is okay
being aware that there's a conflict how
what's the best way to address that
conflict or to manage that conflict
that's really
in a certain way i would say that's the
driving question for the rest of the
book
so i'm not going to attempt to answer it
overly
simple right now okay but anyway to
answer your question yes the emotions
always come from the intellect but in
the case of the animal soul the emotions
turn around and enlist the intellect to
work for them
in the sense that to rationalize what it
wants
and to uh plot and scheme how to get it
okay
so um
yeah
kamehameha believe in
the holy
the physical
analog to that is just like
the heart
pumps the blood and
it goes to all of the limbs including
the brain the brain needs blood from the
heart so similarly you kind of think
about it like that that the negative
emotional traits or selfish emotional
traits of the animal soul the survival
impulse originate in the heart
specifically in the left ventricle
spread out to the whole body including
the brain including the brain
okay now
ah
we're pivoting ah is a pivot word
however
the location of the godly soul the godly
soul that we learned about in chapter
two
its location in the body is the brain
and from there it spreads out to the
whole body to all the limbs
so we have two headquarters
the
animal soul is originating in the heart
and spreading out to the whole body from
there the godly cells originating in the
brain
and spreading out to the whole body from
there
you mean the physical analog the nervous
system
the brain's controlling
all of the limbs
yeah yeah
[Music]
the brain is controlling everything
including
the right ventricle of the heart which
has no blood and again that doesn't mean
it has no
blood it means blood useful blood
blood is called blood when it's useful
useful blood has oxygen in it otherwise
it doesn't
it doesn't do much for the cells if it
doesn't have oxygen in it okay
kamehameha kosovo
like king solomon says that the heart of
the wise man
is on his right side what that means is
that the right ventricle of the heart
which doesn't have the oxygenated blood
meaning it's devoid of that
intense survival impulse
so that part of the heart is more
neutral more receptive
to the godly soul whereas in the left
ventricle where you have that intense
survival impulse
it's resistant to the
godly soul because it has its own agenda
now
at this point what happens in chapter 9
is i call this the dream sequence
[Music]
this is the fantasy
of the of the godly soul
this is what
in a perfect world
what would happen
to a person
if the godly soul were to get his way
so he spreads out this godly soul i
actually call it a call it she we should
call it she because souls are girls
so she spreads out from the brain
to the heart
taking
sort of a foothold in the right
ventricle where there's no resistance
what happens is now the brain is using
the heart starting from the right
ventricle which is more conducive to
that kind of stuff the brain is using
the heart
to
have
feelings of intense love glowing coal
fire intensity
of love for hashem
the
slave of bitters hashem
also other emotions
like
he calls it
when the eyes of the um
wise man which
which are in his head in the brain of
chakra and bina mistaklim stare at
because of the mauka the glory of the
king
elsewhere it's not talking about
physical eyes it's not talking about
visual staring it's talking about
meditation
focused concentrated thought
so
when the godly soul is getting its way
the brain is
meditating on god
and the heart is
feeling the effects
of that meditation namely the heart is
filling up with intense glowing coal
fire like love for hashem
also all of the other holy emotions of
the heart they also come from the chabad
from the benedict from the intellectual
faculties of the brain
so that's
the ideal
what's going to happen when the godly
soul is
able to get its way so the brain is
meditating on the glory of the king and
the heart is feeling the effects
this is the right ventricle the right
ventricle yeah yeah we're going to find
yeah
yeah but he yeah he said of the other
emotions as well which includes you know
but uh primarily love love is the
love is the primary emotion
that's what bert bacharach said
actually he wrote the song
what the hell david wrote the words
oh i'm old enough
i'm old enough
okay
bert's still alive by the way
he's in his 90s
he's still making music
don't worry gary gygax
i'm writing down the song okay how many
alleys in manhattan four
see
we have something for everybody in this
class
all right
ah however there's that pivot word again
however he makes eve it says
where in total does it say one nation
will strengthen strengthen itself over
the other
where does it say that
very good so when rifk was pregnant
and she's like what's going on here
so she finds out she's got two nations
in her womb
that's the recipe for iced coffee
[Laughter]
double iced coffee
now this is
this analogy is like the main
um
image
imagery
for this chapter
the body is called a small city ir
katana small city
like eerie pennsylvania
small city i don't know that's what i
think of when i think of a small city
okay
you mean is it pregnant or a
non-pregnant
um
it is yes it is a small pregnant city
yeah now we're mixing metaphors but yes
it's like two kings who are fighting
over one city
there actually was a battle
in the war of 1812
battle of lake erie near erie
pennsylvania
by the way the most
treasure
in the great lakes
is in lake erie because the most
shipwrecks were in lake erie you know
why
because it's the shallowest of the lakes
you know the deepest of the great lakes
like superior
it's deep as an ocean
you know how to remember the great lakes
homes h-o-m-e-s
i'm from chicago i know my great lakes
okay
so there's a little city
two kings are fighting over the big s
obviously big city little city two kings
are fighting over the little city
right
each king wants to conquer it and rule
it
dahinu what does that mean to conquer it
and rule it
to conduct its denizens
according to its will
because
and that the denizens of the city
should
yield to the instructions of
the king
so you got the parable
what are denizens
denizens is actually the most accurate
term here denizens means the people who
live in a city
denizen is the people illuminated a
denizen is a person who lives in a city
denizens is plural those who live in a
city d-e denizens d-e-n-i-z-e-n-s
yeah
you know what word which is similar has
a similar suffix that we use more
commonly as citizens
but denizens is probably the more
correct
term here
if you were focused properly on tanya
you would not notice the cheering of the
children
you have to focus
the stock will be cut of the mauka to
stare that's what i said that staring
means meditation
you have to stare you know like when you
physically stare so mentally you have to
stare shouldn't bother you that the kids
are screaming in the other room
okay
so you have here's the analogy remember
there's a there's a little city
how many cities are there
one
one city
two kings if there were two cities we
wouldn't have a problem
because we tell each king you take erie
pennsylvania you take peoria illinois
and everyone show them how you struggle
why is it a small city why is it a small
city
you're going to find out you're going to
find out so there's one small city and
there are two kings now each king has
what kind of an
agenda total domination
here's the
nimsho thank you for the correct term
the two souls we know the two souls
right we learned about the two souls
who are like is the godly one the unesco
bahamas
clipper the enlivening animalistic one
that comes from clipper
those two souls
zoom zoo
are fighting each other
over what
al hagufa khole vadav over the body and
all of its limbs
so what's the small city
[Music]
i heard a bunch of different answers
what's the small city
the body
that's why it's called a small city
because
usually
a person is smaller than a city
so it's a really small city
it's a person-sized city population
one
which is crazy population one but there
are two guys running for mayor
crazy
okay and who are the avodim the limbs
the denizens of the city
yeah great word
okay
the godly soul
back to the godly souls dream sequence
all
here's the fantasy of the godly soul its
fantasy is that it will be the sole
ruler of the city
and everyone in the city meaning all the
limbs of the body are going to follow
its
all of the limbs will listen to it and
actually be
automatically subservient to it
that's what it means bottle
automatically subservient like without
even having to think
um
the body and all of its limbs will be
like a like a vehicle
for the automatic expression of the will
of the godly soul that's what the godly
soul is hoping for
us
what is the godly soul hoping for it's
going to dominate this city and the body
will become a garment for its ten
faculties that we learned about in
chapter three and it's three garments
that we learned about in chapter four
and that those
faculties and garments will be expressed
in the limbs of the body so in other
words the godly souls fantasy is that
the physical body will be a seamless
continuation and expression
of
its
ten faculties and three garments
the body will be full of nothing but
the koikes and lavusham of the
nephesholocus
and no foreigner will
pass through
meaning
the animal soul
plus
that what is the godly soul want that
the three
intellectual faculties
will be completely subservient
automatically subservient to the
mabinadas of the of the godly soul
which means that it will the the
brain will only be used for
meaning knowing god and the mena of the
brain will be only used for being
understanding god and so on and so forth
lisbon
and basically what is the brain going to
do all day
in the fantasy version of the godly soul
what is the brain going to do all day
just think of hashem that's it think
about anything else no why would you why
would you
well it mahan and then you're going to
think about hashem all day meaning your
brain is going to be full of thoughts of
god so automatically what's going to be
the effect of that on the heart aloheily
mayhem and to be born the word is born
parent-child relationship what would be
born from all that thinking about god
all day ali the adas through das
remember das is the connection between
mabino we learned about in chapter three
you're going to feel all of god in your
heart
upon
and dread of god love is hashem and love
of god
like a glowing uh
raging fire like a coal
and again this is still the godly souls
fantasy what's going to happen this
meditation of god that the whole brain
is going to be only occupied think about
god and that's going to pour over into
the heart and then the heart is going to
be exploding with this intense love for
hashem
from the depths of the heart in the
right ventricle
and that love in the right ventricle is
going to be overflowing
or as we call it in my house overflowing
because my kids
when they were little they would say the
garbage is overflowing
yeah
okay so imagine that this is still the
godly souls fantasy you're meditating on
god exclusively all of that is
generating intense emotions about god
and that's pouring into the right
ventricle now the right ventricle is
molly the goddess you know what that
means molly the goddess
overfloating
so what's going to happen if it's
overflowing
why
that's right it's going to overflow from
the right side into the left side
this is
what's going to happen in the fantasy of
the godly soul is that the intensity of
love for hashem and the right ventricle
is going to be so much that's going to
go into the left ventricle and it's
going to co-opt the emotions that the
i got very paranoid about the recording
because what happened last week
yeah
and what's gonna happen
is you know the left ventricle still by
by by birth it is the survival mechanism
it is the you know please don't forget
to eat please don't forget to take care
of your body but in in the fantasy of
the godly soul because remember these
are two kings that want total domination
of the city so total domination means
eventually the love of god is going to
pour over and even take over
the natural mechanism for survival
and all all the person is going to want
exclusively
is going to be hashem
so this is what the godly soul wants
the godly soul wants to have such
intense
such an intense presence in the body
that it becomes to the exclusion of any
other influence
and that the left ventricle which is
normally about
um you know survival impulses taking
care of yourself that'll also be
taken over by the by yeah
is the subjugation of that
to serve
never heard that
you you saw this somewhere are you just
occurring to you
so that's your kiddish that's amazing
that's good
write it up
i didn't say i never said it was
realistic
what did i say
i said this is the fantasy
of the godly soul
okay
the whole book of tanya is about
realistic what's realistic but before we
get to what's realistic
i want to tell you what the godly soul
would like we should hear from him from
her so she says this is what she you're
asking the godly soul well
i see you have an agenda what's your
objective what's your agenda
all souls are she's
really naffish is lush in the cava the
soul is a girl
because they know grammar
it says she in my time
at the beginning of the class you said
this chapter was written by somebody
else no
or the other eight chapters were written
by somebody no no i didn't say that
this has a different color on the map
okay
okay so that the it's overflowing she
had thai visual eclipse
so the left ventricle is usually the
desires that come from klippa's neighbor
we're not talking about desires to do
sins which are prohibited we're talking
about desires from clipas naga neutral
stuff just things that you're interested
in keeping your body alive right
um but then the the in the in the
fantasy of the godly soul the godly love
on the right side is so powerful it
comes over and it takes over the
the regular stuff the mundane stuff from
the left side
she ties him with yeah
to change it over to repurpose to to
to
convert the normal mundane desires we're
not talking about bad stuff just normal
mundane stuff but to take even the
mundane stuff and to co-opt it to become
part of the desire for
holy stuff
like we say you should love hashem with
all your heart not just
with two
bases
which means
with both of your desires that's the
fantasy that the godly soul which we
could also call the yetzer toiv will
co-opt the animal soul which is also
called the yetzer hara so the yetzertai
turns the yitzhara into a second yeah
it's a process
it's certainly one scenario and it is
the scenario as i said that the godly
soul
desires
yeah
you're asking is that what's happening
i'm
we're not getting to practicality right
now because right now the context is
we're understanding the conflict to
understand a conflict you have to know
what each side wants
so right now we're just learning what
does the godly soul want
that's all i'm learning
yeah
you want to hold off
to the first one
it's even better than the first one when
the second yet sahara gets turned where
the yatahara gets turned to a second
year to time it's even better than the
original year to tafe because it's crazy
like a yetzahara but it's good crazy
did i use that term because
the lotion
that the hazal used when they explained
bacholavavaca
means two hearts
and they say with two of they use the
term yetzer bishnei
with both of your yatzers
so that's why i'm using that term
you're going to find out you're going to
find out
you're going to find out
the hinu
okay let's continue here
i guess
what is the godly soul what they're
you're going to come to such a high
level of love
yeah there are technical terms for this
love avarabo
hibiya
ava
these are poetic ways of describing
intense love
you're going to come to this level of
love here nicholas because of ava but i
knew him it's also called the love of
the lights blissful love it's a love
that is just you're
you're you're you're high on your love
of god it's just
absolutely
delightful
to delight in hashem similar to the
delight of the world to come
where is that pleasure it's in the brain
because it's really the pleasure of
understanding
a masonic by scholars
it's the pleasure of understanding godly
concepts
according to your intellectual ability
this if you want to know
is
related to the idea of the
water the elemental water we speak about
the four elements from time to time over
here the elemental water
which is in the
godly soul we spoke about the elemental
water in the animal soul which is
the lust for worldly pleasures
the elemental water in the godly soul is
the pleasure in understanding god
hamas
so what happens the elemental water of
the godly soul converts the elemental
water of the animal soul shimahambo
taivus tenugalum
and it takes the elemental water of the
animal so which is by default the love
of bodily things physical things worldly
concrete things takes that same energy
and
hijacks it in a good way good hijackers
i guess freedom fighters just depends
who's writing the article and turns it
into turns that love of mundane things
into a love of god
okay now as we were saying this is all
the fantasy
of the godly soul so remember there's a
conflict there's two kings they're
fighting over one small city and we're
going to ask the godly soul as one of
the kings who's fighting in this battle
what what what what's your agenda
would you like a two-state solution
would you like to compromise
and the godly soul says no
i want to dominate so thoroughly
that i take over all of the resources of
my enemy so that my enemy has to join me
and become my biggest proponent
that's what the godly soul wants nothing
short of that which you could understand
now why this conflict is going to be so
intense because there's really no room
for compromise
let's continue we're going to finish the
chapter
is
that in the ideal scenario the it's a
harder gets turned into a second gate
sir uh the it's harder gets turned into
a second year to toy mama she says
when the
the object of desire of the animal soul
is removed it's called the masayam the
filthy garments when the objects of
desire of the of the animal soul become
removed from it and all that's left is
the raw energy and that raw energy can
be redirected to a new object of desire
namely what's the new object of desire
hashem so now all that power becomes
repurposed that's called the second yeah
not just ava but all of the emotions
all the emotions meaning all the
offshoots of love and fear all become
dedicated exclusively
99.9
no no
no
to hashem
this is what the godly soul wants
the coke and i want to tell you
something it's not just on an emotional
level because we know about this coyotes
and there's levushim there's the insides
and the outsides
so you think the godly soul is going to
stop just with taking over the emotions
no it's going to keep going remember the
three garments thought speech in action
the three modes of expression it wants
those two
it wants everything
the kolkata khadib
all of the speech in the mouth
and all the conscious thought processes
in the brain
yuma
always hard to pronounce
will all be full of nothing but the
godly souls so the speech becomes an
exclusive vehicle to godly speech and
the brain the thought of the brain
becomes an exclusive vehicle to godly
thought
shame chavez hashemite
all the thoughts are just about toyota
all the speeches just toyota
never ceasing
and then of course the third garment
action
the entirety of the body your entire
anatomy every limb every pinky toe will
be exclusively used for mitzvahs
which is the
third garment so the first one is
thought then speech and then action in
concentric circles radiating outward
from inward to outward okay
so that was the fantasy of
nephishola keys
we've got like
one line left
did we hear yet from the
no we didn't so should we hear from him
her one line her one line
but you remember before how we did it we
had we introduced the nephilim kissing
chapter two and then chapter three we
spoke about its coincidence in chapter
four we spoke about it slovush in
chapter five we spoke about it to
mausain and then chapter six we had one
little chapter about the nevish obamas
and we explained why that was
because it's just
yeah you just flip it okay so everything
we just described the intensity in the
the the
extreme agenda of the nephesholocus
so let's let's let's continue now and
see what the agenda of nafta bombings is
ah however
the animal soul which originates in the
clipper
let's say no
again she's a girl let's say no not
let's say no you're saying no
her
desire
is literally the opposite
literally the opposite so everything we
learn about the godly soul
same thing just flip it
with the same degree of intensity it
wants to be the sole ruler of the small
city
of however you should know
and this is very important so you don't
get depressed
the fact that this is what the animal
soul wants
is actually
for the benefit of the person
now you're getting into a deep question
who's this person
okay but let's just
let's just simplify it like this
i'm the city
and there are two kings fighting over me
one of them wants me to be completely
dedicated to god i guess he's a good guy
the other one wants me to be completely
dedicated to
selfishness
i guess if i'm mature enough i
understand that's pretty scary
it's pretty scary because
i'm not a three-year-old if i were three
years old oh that's cool he wants me to
just indulge and be me but if i'm mature
enough i realize actually that's kind of
scary i don't want to be
a
i don't want to be a a two-legged animal
so that's kind of scary
but i should realize that even the
animal souls agenda to make me into an
absolutely self-consumed
two-legged animal
is latoya's
for the benefit of the person
why is it for the benefit of the person
she is
that you should overcome it
and you should
defeat it
so it wants you to overcome it
the animal soul
wants you to overcome it
commercial haziness
like the
analogy of the harlot
harlot is the sikh is an english word
that we all use i think harlot's a
confusing word it's a prostitute it is a
yeah okay so that's what she is a hired
okay let me explain what the muscle in
the zaya is
there's a king
the king wants to test the virtue of his
son
he hires a woman
who ostensibly this is her
this is her profession and apparently in
the marshall it it implies she's at the
top of her profession and he says do
everything in your ability
without telling my son that you were
paid obviously do everything in your
ability
to get my son
to sin
and she understands
the purpose of
her job
is
a moral test
now
she's a very interesting character this
zaina in the zayar kudish
because
she has a conflicted agenda
on the one hand
she knows the purpose the purpose is the
king will be very sad
if the son succumbs to her
temptation
so she knows that really
the king wants that the son should
resist
on the other hand he hired her told her
do your best for a reason because it has
to be a real test so she can't just you
know throw the fight
and
purpose you know take a dive like you
know when you bribe the boxer to
to not really fight right no she's got
to really really try she's got to really
try
so she's got a very interesting uh
motivation here this character
is that on one hand she has to try her
hardest
and the other hand she wants to fail
so desire says you should understand
that navigabus is like
this zaina who was hired by the king to
test his son
the damage obamas is going to try hard
to turn you into a raging narcissist
who can justify any indulgence
and
bowl over everyone in your life
and have great excuses for it
that's what nemesis obama is going to
try to make you do
but you should know why it's trying to
make you do that
it's not
a free agent it's not working for itself
it works for hashem
and it wants you to resist
but
if it wants you to resist
that doesn't mean that it's just going
to make it easy for you
no
it's going to make it hard for you
so that you can really resist
so imagine it's sort of like
this
trainer or this gym coach who's
screaming at you you're like you're such
a tyrant no
if i knew if i
if i do another burpee i'm gonna pass
out he says you do another burpee
and you run up that you know the burpee
you know burpees oh my gosh everyday
burpees
yeah oh my gosh
like i squat down you kick out your feet
and
it's
crazy
okay anyways but yeah
i just have one question yeah um the
city and its faculty's environments so
um
there's three faculties yeah yeah
and the garments are the tins
no no no no no they're actually there
are ten total faculties the faculties
are the
koikes that we learned about in chapter
three which are
three
intellectual and seven emotional
and then the garments are the thought
speech in action that we learned about
in chapter four
so the godly soul wants complete
uh expression of all of its ten
faculties and three garments
and the animal soul also wants complete
expression of all of its ten faculties
and three garments
but really it wants what hashem wants
they both really want what hashem wants
it's in a double bind yeah
conflicted
why
why would hashem do this
that's a very philosophical question
and in fact in chapter 35 we will ask
why hashem is this your idea of a good
time but
at any rate let me just we're over time
i just want to sum up so what do we
learn today
there's a small city
what's the small city no who's the small
city yes
okay
two kings
godly soul animal soul their agenda each
one no compromise total domination now
we've set the scene for what the
conflict is in the next few chapters
we're going to talk about various
different scenarios
how different personae different types
of people
manage that conflict
better
or worse
right so we're going to talk about
different ways that the conflict plays
out but at least now you know who are
the
who are the players
you know what the you know what you know
where the game's being played you know
who's playing the game how's it going to
play out
there are different scenarios okay
it's not like the bengals of the rams
no
and they both agree on three and seven
yes yeah
are they kings princess kings they're
kings they're two kings
a king they're kings who have a king the
vassal of my vassal is not my vassal
the feudalism that was the problem with
feudalism the vassal of my vassals not
my vassal anyways you'll look it up okay
all right i have a
