you'd aleph it would be worthwhile to
mention
that this is one of the first
the first discourses that was presented
by the laboratory
just a few months after he assumed
the position of labacher
the rebbe assumed the position of
leadership of chabad
on youtube
the first anniversary of the earthset of
his father-in-law
the sixth laboratory passed away
the 10th of juart 1950 one year later at
the first yard site the rebbe
said his first miami known as basi
lagania
kala pasik and shashirim chapter five
shinyur alev and this was one of
lagbaaba was just a few months later
obviously
so this is one of the first my martin
the first discourses that was presented
by the laboratory
after he became a rabbit back in 1951.
let's begin
this mimer focuses completely on the
midst of syracuse
counting the aymar which is the unique
mitzvah of these days
beginning with the second day of pace
all the way to
us as we know we count the 49 days and
the mitzvah is rooted
in a verse in parish's emmer leviticus
chapter 23
and where peter of gimo and this is
apostate we say
each night after we count the aymar usf
you should count to you you should count
me makara sashabus
from the morrow of the shabbas the day
after shabbos
from the day that you bring the oimer
omer is a measurement of flower hathnu
be
until after seven weeks
and then comes the crafted then comes
the holiday of schwas
we count 49 days followed by the holiday
of schwes which is on the 50th day
i know what we see in this part
first you have the mitzvah of bringing
the offering of the flower
bringing the aimer and then comes the
mitzvoth counting because take a look at
the passage
the first mitzvah is to bring the
emirates and then
from the day that you bring it now
there's a limits of a second
what's the second to start a count which
will continue
from this day and it will continue for
the next 49 days
what is this mitzvah of bringing the
immigration officer very briefly
the terror commands that during when the
base amica stood when they sang
when the temple the holy temple stood in
jerusalem or before that
the mishkan on the second day of pesach
the 16th of nissan which was called me
maharashabas
the day after shabbos meaning the day
after yamthaf
the first day of pesach is the day of
shabbas yamtif shabbas means a day of
rest yamatov is also
the day after shop is the 16th of nissan
which is the second day of pesach
but it's already in israel in the holy
land
we do two days but in the in the holy
land there's only one day
first day of yam that was the next day
there was a mitzvah to bring right away
in the morning
they would cut it the night before they
would harvest barley
and grind it and
and and of course go through all the
process processing the barley
until they extracted the kernels the
kernels had to be grinded
and they had barley flour it was refined
very they refined it again and again 13
sieves
and then they brought a measurement
called eimer
eimer is a certain measurement a certain
volume of flour
basically 43 a volume of 43.2 eggs
and this was known as the carbon eimer
part of it part of it was burnt on the
altar on the mizbaya
consumed by the fires of the besamiktes
this is called the carbon armor so this
is a
a meal a meal offering it's not an
animal it's a male offering barley
flower
burnt on the mizberg and the rest was
baked as matzah first of all it was
pesach and generally all the menachems
the male offerings were matzah at least
most of them
were matzah and the kaiyanam muni would
eat it this was the carbonimer this is
called
bringing them and had to be waived
that's why it's called no fat to be
waived from when you bring it you have
to start a count
okay i hope it's clear if it's not clear
you can ask in the section when we're
going to stop for questions
so this was the offering of the army
that's why it's called spherus
the count of the um which means the
count of the armor many people don't
know what it means
oimer is a measurement it's mentioned in
the purchase of
a series it's known as a tenth of an
aphid it's a measurement it's a
measurement of flat in this case flower
and this is the count connected to this
measurement that was brought
as an offering of the visa
continues
says
that the mitzvah of counting is both
counting the weeks
and counting the counting the days and
counting the weeks
this will be discussed later in the
mimer in detail that we learn out from
the succumb that there's two counts
there's a count of days and there's a
count of weeks so for example
last night two nights ago we counted
hyoimar boss sergion
today's 14 days that would have been
enough but no we added it's two weeks
later
last
15 days that's enough but we didn't we
didn't we were not satisfied
we counted also the weeks 15 days
is two weeks and one day now you might
ask it superfluous if it's 15 days we
all know that it's two weeks in one day
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
that will be discussed in the miner but
the gemara tells us
a mistake to count both
sides and as this passage indicates
this mitzvah applies between the
during the period between the bringing
of the aimer which was the second day of
pesach and the holiday of schwarz
you have that 49-day count
so the love all seems clear and
wonderful
we have to understand
what is difficult to understand is the
phraseology of this verse that you
should start counting from the day after
shabbos
says
the toyota is very ambiguous the toyota
doesn't mean you should start counting a
day after shabbos that would be sunday
what's makhara sashabas the morrow of
the shabbos is sunday
the toyota means you should start
counting the day after pesa
the second day of the holiday of pesach
so it should have said
from the morrow of pesach which means
tazhayan isn't the successiveness
now you might say okay the totally used
expression makaris hashabas fine
but no toyota is meticulous and not only
this
as we're going to see this triggered a
tremendous controversy
during the era of the second temple
there was a sect of the jewish people
known as
sadducees or tsuduku that sudukum
rejected
the tradition and the authority of the
sages who transmitted what's called
tereshabal the oral commentary of humash
transmitted throughout the generations
already from maishunabenu
here there was a key argument
that sudukum said that you have to start
counting the oimer
always on a sunday every single year
sphere of soyment starts on a sunday no
matter when pesach is i don't care what
pace of his
pesos can happen to be shabbat take this
year this year
the first say there was one with sorry
shabbos so the first day of pesach was
sunday
so that zucchin would say you don't
count the aimer monday we started the
count of
sunday night the day after the first day
of pesach
they would say never you always start
counting the aimer
with sorry shabbos the day after shabbos
the maharashtra
which by the way means that it's seven
complete weeks because it starts sunday
so it always ends one week two weeks
three weeks four weeks five weeks seven
weeks
these count seven weeks so it always
ends also shabbos
which means schwarz is always sunday
according to the token
because day fifty comes after day forty
nine and day fifteen shrews
and they said it says me maharis are
shabbos it doesn't say
and there's a whole discussion in gemara
menachem
a long discussion with the saw the sages
of israel had to debate them and prove
to them that they were wrong
that in this case the terror means
and there's a lot of proofs the rambam
discusses it at length
in the musa in addition to it being the
tradition
that jews counted the aimer from the
second day of pace not from a sunday
sometimes it happens to be sunday if the
first day of pesach is shabbos if they
say there is friday night
so then indeed spirits assaimer happens
to be
but that's unique that's real in most
years it's not that way
it's very saiyam it could be sundays
we're saying we could start on a monday
also
like this here asks
if this is the case why did the toyota
have to say
and now there is room for a debate and a
disputation
you could have just said clearly but
myself
[Music]
will understand this by first
introducing
an explanation and the general theme
what is the counting of them
all the meal offerings in the basamiktus
were brought from wheat
there were two exceptions the minha of
the saita
and the minh of the aimer which means
there was a particular situation a
particular mitzvah that's recorded in
the book of numbers in bamidbar in
parishes
and this refers to a couple a
relationship that was going through hard
times
the husband felt that the wife is
disloyal and she is betraying him
and this marriage was on the rocks he
told her he warned her in front of
witnesses
he says i do not want you to seclude
yourself
in a private room with this and this
individual who he was suspicious of and
they were spending apparently a lot of
time together
and she did not listen and she went into
private seclusion with this person
he does not trust her he feels that she
crossed the red lines
and this woman is known as a citer
what happens now this marriage he
doesn't trust her he feels that
this marriage has to dissolve so the
rebuttal shalom the master of the
universe
says impartial i will act as the family
therapist
i will be the personal therapist of this
couple can't get a better therapist than
god
and he brings it to the basement and she
drinks
water water from the base of mikrtus
which had in a dissolved
parchment with the parsha of saita
on it and there was a little earth in
the water this was
especially potent water she also brought
an offering a meal offering
from barley if she was in this they
didn't
they didn't tell her she has to drink
the water it was her choice
she can admit and say you know what this
marriage is over i'm interested in
somebody else
i went to somebody else and then they'll
just get divorced
there won't be any penalties because
there were no witnesses it was just
witnesses that she was secluded but not
more
so she'll just get divorced but if she
refuses to
to admit she says no i'm innocent my
husband is wrong
i was in a room with somebody okay
she'll drink the water and god will be
the therapist
if she emerges healthy and unscathed we
know that she's right
and if not the water is lethal now
which husband afterwards is going to say
god says that she's a great wife she's
innocent
she's wonderful but i disagree with god
so hashem himself
it's a very powerful mitzvah hashem
himself mixed into the relationship he
mixed into the marriage
at some point it stopped working the
famous ramban in parishes
that there were so many adulterers and
the men were guilty this only works if
the man
is perfectly innocent and he is
completely loyal
and dedicated to the marriage so hashem
says i'm going to intervene to make sure
that there is the highest level of peace
and harmony and love
but if the man himself is playing games
this whole thing doesn't work and that's
why at some point it stopped working
towards the end of the second base
and there were too many adulterers
that's what the mishnah says at the end
of sight
fascinating mitzvah misunderstood
mitzvah but fascinating mitzvah
says from here you learn the power of
peace between a wife and a husband
hashem says we're going to dissolve my
name
write his name on parchment that portion
and then erase it in the water gets
dissolved in the water
which is something usually prohibited to
do just to be able to
rescue a marriage this was the one
meal offering that was brought that was
barley
all the other meal offered every day
there was a meal offering brought called
in the weekdays people would bring
ministers as donations sometimes people
would bring meal offerings as different
different reasons
obligations or contributions
but they were all from wheat minecraft
minecraft means the meal offering that
was brought
as a result of the of the of the
zealousness of the caution of the
husband
this came from barley and one more meal
offering came from barley which one
you guessed it the carbon eimer the
offering that was brought for the
community on the second day of pesach
why did this woman's offering come from
barley
so the mission insight daffy dalet
explains
that traditionally wheat was the staple
food of humans
for humans barley was the animal father
so usually we bring a meal offering from
wheat
but this person's behavior was
ma behemoth we know that most mammals
are not monogamous they don't
maintain a loyalty in a relationship
so this is what this meal offering
represents
that just as these actions
were not the ideal actions of a human
being
who needs to be loyal in a marriage both
on side of the husband on the side of
the wife each one in their own way
so her offering is also an offering of
animal father
that explains the meal offering of the
saito woman but what about the meal
offering that was brought
on the second day of pesach before the
count of the aimer why was that brought
from barley and not from wheat
what's the explanation on the first
minute the mishna gives us a wonderful
explanation
what about spherus heimer offering
viadua
and the explanation and this is known
this is a famous explanation of the
balatanya
in the toyota in a few places
because the main work of the counting of
the amid is to work with your animal
soul
so therefore the meal offering has to be
from animal father
in other words sphero sauerma begins a
new era
in the calendar where the focus is
on working dealing with
sublimating negotiating discovering
and really transforming or elevating
inspiring
vivifying my animal consciousness my
nephesha bahamas that's going to be the
focus of this miami
so therefore the appropriate offering is
animal father
what does that represent you're bringing
the animal to god
you're bringing the animal to the
vasamiktra not the animal itself
animal father you're bringing the food
of the animal and that's becoming the
offering of thymer because the whole
focus of spirituality is going to be
what
is going to be on the bearer on the
sublimation
the inspiration of my animal
consciousness
and by the way this is one of the
reasons there's a custom
in some communities including a chabad
that during the days of spirit suramar
they learn every year
saita has 49 pages mem testafim that's
49 pages
which corresponds to the 49 days of
sriracha
has that number some people aren't
schluis which means oaths
but i guess it also means weeks
but the the custom in many communities
is to learn
so it's not just because 49 49 every
night of syria every day you learn one
daf and you finish it by schwarz
but there's a much deeper reason because
these are the only two meal offerings
that were brought from barley
because the idea here is that there's
something similar between the avodah of
the saita
and the work of sriracha with my nephew
bahamas with my animal soul and as it
says in zeitgeist
that after the sata drinks the water and
she comes out
unscathed she becomes even healthier she
goes back to her husband
and that's what happens to us
is the time of intimacy
the time of intimacy and one is between
hashem and the jewish people
what does this mean that the time of
serious arab is focused on working with
our animal soul
so he begins the explanation of bearding
in the third paragraph of beardenian
i'm just a little horse i'm gonna go
catch uh i'm gonna catch a drink
so please uh you'll have recess for like
uh
two minutes okay you could learn the
mimer or meet your friends in class
say hi to your friends
uh
okay my wife didn't want you to have
recess she said she'll bring me the
coffee
and the explanation is
the revelation that happens on pesach
the first time pays sechen every year on
pesach the first day of pesach is known
as the sarusa de la elah
so is an expression of zaihar but it's
often brought in the writings of khabar
siddhas especially in the
toyota of the balatanya many times which
means the arousal from above
isarusa like the word his arousal
inspiration
de la elah that comes from above
meaning it's a gift from hashem the
first day of pesach
there was an arousal from above atsume
independently of a person
as the passage says shem tells me
allah when you take out this nation from
egypt you will serve hashem at this
mountain
begins after the exodus of egypt
the exodus of egypt itself is an arousal
that comes mill mila it comes from above
it's a gift
like a dosage of of nuclear
inspirational energy
that's given to the person you're
schlepped out of the mud
you're schlepped out of the abyss of
egypt but then hashem says when i take
you out of
egypt now nasa
the focus here is not so much he's not
talking here about the mountain
he's talking the tavda now it's going to
start avoid
your work your work your service that
stage two
before stage two to stage one which is
i'm taking you out
this is the deeper meaning of the
passage in shi hashirim chapter one
verse four
of possibility now tune into this
passage because this possibly becomes
one of the fundamental ideas in this
mine
the bride has of course a polymer song
about the powerful relationship of anila
de dividilli
the young man and the young woman who
have deep deep emotions towards each
other
i belong to deity to my beloved and my
beloved belongs to me as the expression
in sha
more than once so she says to him
she says me
draw me in pull me in
has brought me into his chambers now
when you read this pasta grammatically
your antennas your alarm should go off
in the brain why
it starts off lush and yoghurt it
continues lush and rabbit
and then it speaks about the past it
starts off la shanyaka the future
lush and robin future and then back to
los angeles the past i don't know if you
realize let's see
draw me in so talk about me draw me
in after you we shall run you just said
me
should have said or
is representing the revelations during
the exodus of egypt which came
as an arousal from above as we say in
the god
the king of kings hashem revealed
himself to the jewish people and
redeemed them
the jewish people on their own were
submerged as the gemara as the zaire
says
in 49 gates of impurity allah
however from above they had a revelation
something that transcended their own
identity at the time
and that's
when somebody is moist of you you are
where you are and then i'll come in
and i'll slap you i'll pull you out from
where you are and i'll bring you to me
draw me in pull me out this is something
that's applied it's it's related to the
person
who's pulling you i myself i'm just
passive
that's why it says
because this revelation it moved means
it moved
it inspired only the divine soul shark
never shall
because only the divine soul feels it
detects
when there's a revelation from above
allah
the animal soul doesn't feel it doesn't
have the antennas to be able to detect
is is on fire and abhishek muhammad says
what's the party what's happening i
don't know i'm sorry i don't feel
anything
soon we're going to see no russia that's
something else
only that only
doesn't relate to the bahamas because it
doesn't have the sensitivity it's an
animal soul
an animal is an animal animals are cute
but they're animals
we have nothing we love animals animals
are very special
that's you know i talk a lot about
animals in these fear
so we all have a little animal inside of
us that animal can be very very cute
you know you have little cute puppies
and then you have scary elephants or
hippopotamuses or rhinoceroses or
or wild cheetahs tigers lionesses polar
bears you got to be careful
every person has a different type of
knife which bahamas some people have a
little cute
little cute puppy that runs around in
your heart
a little cute monkey but some of us have
big chimpanzees or big
big gorillas and you know chimps share
98 or 99 percent of their dna with
humans
because that's the nephesha bahamas then
africa bahamas is a chimpanzee
so there's a small chimpanzee still cute
but if it gets out of control
and you don't train them it could get a
little monstrous or a lot monstrous
the point is you can expect from the
animal soul
to detect the gillum of pesach
you can't it's not fair it's like a deaf
person
you'll bring him into a concerto to a
concert hall
and say how are you enjoying the concert
it's not fear
he doesn't have the ability to be able
to sense the music
you'll take a blind person into an art
gallery
how are you enjoying the art they can
hear music but they can't see the art
the person has never seen in their life
or became blind later
you have to know what a person is
capable of you have to have the antennas
that allow you to detect to experience
something transcendence transcendence
can be experienced by the nephew shall
the kiss the narcissist will feel it
like this in an
instance what does he say
it's going to move the godly saw but the
animal soul
i don't know what you're talking about i
don't know why you guys are excited
there's nothing happening here
the king of egypt that the nation fled
what was it mean the nation fled they
fled he gave them permission to go
he told them to go in the middle of the
night he woke up and he called to moshe
and iron and he said
get out of here that's not called
running away
if the master himself the king himself
dictated
and instructed you to leave and not only
that they were rushed to juice so much
that they couldn't allow the sourdough
to inflate the starter couldn't make its
magic
they had to bake flat breads matzah like
he
they didn't run away they went with your
consent so what does rashi say
because most should deceive power my
should tell them we're leaving only for
three days
and paris sent messengers with the
jewish people after three days the jews
weren't coming back
so the messengers come back
messengers they come back to power and
they say oh
these guys fled they seized opportunity
they were supposed to have a three-day
holiday
as our european friends say and
after the three-day holiday they fled
why did this happen this way um
if the jews and mushrooms
that he has to send them away forever
for good
he has to emancipate them for eternity
would he have not been forced to send
them away
any way you look at it it doesn't make
sense if
this was coming from paris kindness
and his own good will and he didn't
agree with him for three days
until after the ten plagues the only
reason parry agreed for three days at
this point was because he was brought to
his knees
after the tenth and final plague if
that's the case
pari at this point didn't have a choice
marcia could have told pare
parallel we are going and we are
never looking back we are never going to
return to this soil
we could have said the truth and party
would have said
get out of here leave just leave the man
had no choice his empire was crumbling
his empire was devastated every home was
devastated
with the death of the firstborn marcus
pryres he himself was afraid of his own
immediate imminent demise at this point
he was brought to his knees asked out to
that but
why did my chef just say we're going for
three days and then they don't come back
and then pyro says they ran away
they could have just been open with them
and say pardee were never coming back
and parry would have given them
permission and they wouldn't run away
the shot is says
from here we understand that the ithias
mitsurayam had to happen in a way
of escaping the exodus of egypt could
only come about
through an escape there had to be the
drama of escape
i he gave them permission so moshe had
to make it in a way
where he concocted the story that it's
three days and paris agreed and now they
didn't come back after three days
meaning they fled
in other words it didn't start off that
moisha said three days
and therefore they ran away the other
way around moshe knew that the jewish
people have to flee egypt
how they're going to flee egypt is
giving them permission
so that's why moshe told them we're
going for three days and when they don't
come back
now they're called fl they they are they
are uh
people who are escaping so now the
question is why do you have to flee
egypt
says
it's all a quote from the tanya because
at that point
there was still a lot of brokenness a
lot of toxicity
that was very powerful in the souls of
the jewish people
and therefore if they would not run away
they would never be able to leave
egypt you see they weren't running away
from power
they were running away from the paris
inside of them they were running away
from the evil that lurked inside of them
i can take you out of
egypt but i can't always take egypt out
of you
you can take a jew out of exile but can
you take the exile out of the jew they
used to say you could take a jew out of
russia you can't take rush out of the
jew
what does this mean this means that i
have to
run away because i'm running away from a
voice that's
inside of me there was an element of
matsuram that remained
in the heart of the slave even after he
runs away
and that is very comforting idea because
it means that you're going to have
voices
that tell you you don't belong going
free
you belong home in the house of slavery
come back
we spoke before pesach a few classes
about the idea of
of of stealing the affiliate right
stealing the mind of paris stealing the
blessings all the same idea
it's the voice in you that says you're a
thief
you're a ganeth you're a fugitive you
escaped prison come back
come back that's not a voice outside
it's a voice inside
ki varak can i go free or not so masha
says we're going to have to run away
who you're running away from you're
running away from a part of yourself
you're running away
from your own traumatized victimhood
you're running away from your own
triggers you're running away from those
toxic
thoughts that tell you that you have to
remain imprisoned for eternity
you're running away from the voice
inside of you that says that you're not
going to be successful
you have to be depressed you have to be
miserable you're running away from the
voice inside of you that tells you to be
afraid of your own success of your own
light
it wants to make sure that you remain a
loser well i love
anybody knows about this voice
rep the neil they have it in england to
this voice
really the english didn't emancipate
themselves from it
okay
welcome to the human race so this is a
mighty dick of art
[Music]
what's the difference the difference is
it
is stage one in history
stage one and personal emancipation
stage one is that paris
inside of me is still alive and well and
he's screaming
ganeth get back you thug you're a slave
you're a slave you're a slave
battered woman syndrome or stuck alum
syndrome you come back here i'll take
care of you
this is where you belong this is
addictive thinking
you know you thought again your thought
process repeats itself again and again
and again
telling you why you belong here we don't
even realize it's happening it's so
deeply embedded when you become aware of
it that's when you become redeemed
so you have to say i'm running away
you got to run and don't look back why
because if you look back you're going to
get pulled right back
in the forces are too powerful the
gravitational forces are pulling you
back into egypt
that's what he says in tanya harashava
it represents a new stage in history
where the whole world agrees with you
where there is
totality there is wholeness there's
organic holistic
clarity and oneness so therefore you
don't have to run from yourself
because even the voices that tell you
you belong in egypt you're going to see
that the depth of those voices
deep deep inside they're also trying to
heal you
but that's a very powerful level of
development
so then you can go coming off the run
back to the back to the oceans to the
terminologies
the revelation only moved the divine
soul
mashiach the animal consciousness was
not moved
it remains intact
so because of the animal soul you have
to run
the jews on the on their own were not
vessels for this they're very powerful
they were not ready for it
they were being transported into a place
that transcended them their animal soul
was not was not open to this
it was not integrated in the animal soul
so who feels the gilui the nephachilicus
people often will sense a moment of
inspiration
and then it will dissipate it's like a
fleeting moment of excitement so often
they accuse themselves of being liars
and hypocrites and kanav
the truth is no no you never shall a
kiss has antennas
and never shaliques feels it but the
nephesha bahamas says
i don't know what you want stop
bothering me that's what happened
it's a real it's a real experience but
it's not integrated into my system
my animal consciousness is not a caylee
for it
now what do we mean by animal
consciousness we keep on saying animal
consciousness
uh divine consciousness
by the way this whole discussion is in
tanya chapter 31 you could look it up in
tanya
and there he makes the contrast between
the gu'oola of mitzrayim
and the ghoul of mashiach quoting the
this great student of the arizona called
shahrukh khanusha sharik dusho shah
khadusha this is he postulates
the famous idea which is quoted in the
first chapter of tanyan is the basis of
tanya
that every single jew has two souls
nefer shall a kiss and an efficient
a godly soul and an animal soul or in
other words we operate on two levels of
consciousness
level of consciousness that is an animal
level of consciousness
we are animals we're sophisticated
animals
homo sapiens but we're part of the
zoological species
we share dna most of our dna with
animals
we have similar concerns to animals
we have similar emotions to animals or
animals of similar emotions to us
you know the psychologists and
scientists and naturalists get very
excited
when they discover different interesting
traits and characteristics and animals
empathy and emotions and
medicine and medic with pro quo and
verbal communication different sounds
it's very it's very interesting right
different types of emotions
jealousy and envy and competitiveness
and cruelty in general
cruelty feltner starts in the jungle but
generosity benevolence and so forth
and they really sometimes there's an
agenda their gender is that we and the
animals are more or less
more or less the same charles darwin
wrote in the origin of species that one
of the most
uh important conclusions of his theory
is
that there's no fundamental difference
between a human being and an animal
now that's a tragic conclusion there is
a fundamental difference in a human
being and an animal
maybe for some people there's no
difference between a human being and an
animal but that's the great revolution
of beratious the great revolution of the
opening of the bible there is
a fundamental between a human and an
animal but the only way you'll
understand the difference is if you
first understand the similarities
what makes us different than animals is
that we are actually so similar to
animals
if we weren't similar to animals okay
we're different than animals we're all
different species the fact is that we're
so similar to animals
and yet there's something in us
that sets us apart from the animal the
nephesha bahamas really represents
the basic biological consciousness of a
person
which puts us in the zoological species
it's called homo sapiens
it's much more sophisticated yes it's
much more developed
it's much more powerful it has
tremendous abilities and skills and
talents that animals don't have
true but that's only a development
within the world of behemoth
so it's called nephesh bahamas and
that's a very powerful idea
that there is i can operate my whole
life on the level of consciousness of
nephesha bahamas i could do that
it's a full soul it's a it's a full
system of life
called the animal soul in african
bahamas
we have a second soul the second soul is
an ephesian kiss it's a godly soul
the godly soul is another level of
consciousness or a deeper level of kind
not another a deeper level of
consciousness
which is the human being the human soul
as the altar ever puts it whenever
israel is
the rest of the world is spoken into
existence
the neshama is blown into existence
the difference of course is speech
represents an external expression of
energy you could speak for hours
not get exhausted some people speak for
years they don't get exhausted
blowing is very exerting about hey you
blow the chauffeur
after 10 seconds 20 seconds later at
some point you're going to have to stop
because you're all pleased your kish has
come out
it's a piece of the divine it's a divine
consciousness
there's an element in the person the
core of the person that is a fragment of
god a fragment of heaven a ray of
infinity
the peace of hashem
i read an article by the late rabbi
jonathan sachs reynold
so he said very interestingly he says
the nefersa bahamas
is associated with what we call today
the limbic brain
in neuroscience today there's a huge
focus on the different parts of the
brain
there's what's called the amygdala and
the prefrontal cortex
there's the limbic brain the amygdala of
the brain
which some call the reptilian brain
it's the reptilian brain in other words
nephesha bahamas
because that's the brain that's
responsible for survival
it focuses very much on a level of
consciousness
of fight or flight it's busy protecting
itself
and it's extremely cautious to any
danger
and we need it it's like the alarm
system that helps you survive especially
in moments of danger
problem is when the amygdala takes over
and
the alarm system is always going off and
i'm always in that mode
and that's what trauma sometimes does
and then you have higher parts of the
brain the emotional element of the brain
capable of emotions
then you have the prefrontal cortex
where there is the capability of
long-term vision
and morality and understanding what's
right
and delaying gratification and seeing
the bigger picture
so we see pushed in science different
parts of the brain that are capable
of different ways of experiencing the
world and reaching different
thought and developing different thought
processes which bring out different
conclusions
but generally we have her two souls i
could live
in two different souls the nephesh obama
and every silicase
and this is one of the most foundational
teachings that pervades the whole first
section of time
that at every moment of life i have to
choose in which
level of consciousness i'm going to
recite where i'm going to live
i'm going to live in my nephew bahamas
and therefore my reactions will be
coming from that place
or i'm going to be living in my
nephilicus
can i get rid of the dichotomy i don't
get rid of the dichotomy
i learned to integrate both levels of
consciousness that's the focus of this
mimer
so therefore yitzias mitsrayim
spoke to the nephishella kiss the never
shall the kisses antennas are
very spiritually sensitive the nephrolic
is divinity it sees the world from a
divine perspective
it sees the world from the perspective
of organic
holistic oneness it sees the person
as a manifestation of divine infinity
that the nephi shalom is
and it gets moved it gets moved by the
inner
music of creation the expression that we
had in the previous miami remember
before pesach
it sees the kayak it sees
the the spiritual organic energy
behind the universe the nephew bahamas
is a good animals cute animal it's a
puppy
i want to eat i want to survive i want
to feel good
nefesh bahamas is threatened it's going
to do everything to survive
everything to survive
it just wants to wants to survive that's
what it needs it wants to survive it
wants to feel good
so sedebba
[Music]
is
now begins stage two and that's avoid
the
matalam island it's not anymore a flow
from above
but rather working from below
alzheimer's
only relates to the nephroshely kiss the
nephesha bahamas is out of the picture
says
integration now i'm working with me
i'm working with my amygdala with my
limbic brain with my reptile
with the animal inside of me with my
animal consciousness
i'm working through my own issues i'm
working through my own reactions to life
i'm working through the consciousness of
my animal soul
being aware of what is happening and
helping it
to climb up the ladder of awareness and
enlightenment
after you we shall run all the parts of
me it's not just me
it's we because inside of me there is a
we
and when you can recognize inside of me
there is a we
you can understand that there's
different voices coming from different
parts of we
there's the voice coming from the nephew
shabbat the voice coming up
so first of all the difference is
if i'm being drawn in or i am
doing the work i'm not being drawn i am
doing the work
that's a very big difference when i'm
being drawn in
it's coming from above when i'm doing
the work it's coming from below
difference number two is when i'm being
drawn in it only relates to the
nephrosholicus which senses the divine
music
when i'm doing the work it's coming from
me
and me includes my nephesha bahamas
after you we shall run what is this work
what is this work with them what does it
mean to do work with my animals so what
type of work is this
this is great this is going to explain
the continuation of the mimer
which we will continue basically hashem
next next
next year the next class is going to be
tues tomorrow morning is a woman's class
9 45.
pacer hashem thursday morning we'll
continue this mimer
7 30 a.m i'm going to take some
questions now
question number one
okay somebody wrote here a very very
interesting comment about
that this explains that rashii
massachusetts debates about the shama
yaseera and shabbos
but it's actually on the next piece of
the miami so i'm not going to read it
now
next question
pikava says don't speak in an ambiguous
way make sure that the students
understand
maybe that's why he asks the question
why it says
and
the way i understand the starting of the
the offering of the barley is
total was given to the desert the jews
ate the mana daily
after their matzo ran out they had
animals
what did the animals eat did the jews
have barley or wheat to feed the animals
they obviously didn't grow any produce
of any type so what did the animals eat
how did the idea of animals eating
barley apply at the time of the midst of
the air was given in the desert
this was only possible later once the
jews entered their tissue
and began to farm you want to know what
food the jews
gave the animals in the desert an
interesting question i never thought
about it
good question i have to research it
you spoke about running away and not
looking back is that the idea of why
they told lloyd's wife not to look back
it may be it may be maybe very well
connected
don't look back because you're going to
get penti suffered by vine
because you're going to get consumed by
what's happening in this diet
yeah very possible in fact in parishes
vallejo we have a class a few years ago
i gave
to the women on the yeshiva.net it's
partisan valleyra the idea of looking
back
some people who get stuck in their past
and they become salty they become a
piece of salt
the ability to be able to really let go
of my past is not easy
the ability to run and not look back we
want to look back
you speak about integrating the animal
soul with the godly soul
so it's interesting
it's interesting that
that uh we brought offerings of wheat
and barley because spherus aimer was
barley but
the two loaves of bread were brought
from wheat you're right
as we will see because after the
after the sriracha now you actually
bring
now you actually bring wheat it's it's a
very good point
next question the tanya says
that
that the divine soul is enclosed in the
animals so does that mean
that neuroscience can see effects of the
divine soul
yeah it's exactly what it means if the
animal soul
wouldn't be enclosed in the if the
divine soul wouldn't be enclothed in the
animal soul
then neuroscience which is enclosed in
the body
which is enclosed in the brain the
neuroscience wouldn't detect it
but because the divine soul is tucked in
so to speak not physically is enclosed
as manifested
in the animal salt you know the two
souls are are not living on two
different planets
they're fused together they're layers of
consciousness
but they're they're they're tight
they're not only married to each other
but they're they're integrated they
become one
the the two souls live together the
divine soul can only function in the
body
through and with the animal salt so
therefore you could see the effects of
it on the body
and that's why neuroscience is going to
come closer and closer
to decipher it at least with the tools
that they have which of course are
limited but they will come closer and
closer to decipher it
you're not muted
next question
is it possible that since god is above
time
and he knows the future so therefore
god said
he was ambiguous just to ultimately
prove the seduces wrong
and the propriety and necessity of the
oral tradition
the debate continues today because some
jews
try to keep mitzvahs that are written
clearly in the bible
but they will not observe mitzvos of the
oral tradition
so that debate actually still continues
okay
you can unmute yourself
i hear you i hear you
can you hear me now yeah yeah i hear you
oh sorry
i thought there was a problem very
quickly neuroscience today
i think it's a vet um
experiment seems to suggest that uh our
free will is compromised because our
input yeah
we become conscious of things after the
electric impulses are already there
does that mean that what's going which
is like related to kessa
is essentially a um a transcendent
and that's why if you if you're
reductionist and you limit everything to
a scientific measure then you come to
the contradiction between
our experience of free will and the
measure of it which seems to be
that uh preceding our conscious
awareness of a choice
is electrical impulses i've always been
concerned about this
you're saying that neuroscientists today
are saying that our our free will is
really a
delusion doesn't really exist because
the electrical impulses
of choice the electrical impulses that
decide
what you want to do what you're going to
choose are there even before you made a
conscious decision
which means the decisions are completely
internal unconscious you're not even
choosing it
just the result of your biochemical
physiological processes so how how are
you resolving that
yeah so how are you resolving that
daniella what
what are you suggesting
every type of science ultimately only
looks at one snippet of reality
and whilst it's true just like with for
example creation you can look at
creation and say
like some of the material like richard
dawkins is certainly suggests
you know the whole world's meaningless
and we're just meatballs floating
through space it just happens to be
we're conscious that's his
interpretation of the data
in the same way on the neuroscience
level i we all subjectively
feel at this level of um
of of free will we live on that we live
within a world of subjectivity
if we were to take that experiment uh
literally then it would just it should
smash
the whole of law and order and morality
in our universe and we
yeah we don't do that because we we
don't live just on the level of
neuroscience experiments
that's the only explanation i have in
other words our will our rot sign
and our functioning of choice is not
measurable
and making it it precedes our electrical
impulses it's just that our measurement
of it
is limited just like you can't measure
the the motion of
a particle and its direction uh the
momentum at the same time because
it's not bothered i don't know that's my
thinking um
you're saying just like we don't have
the tools to measure the motion of a
particle
and it's momentum at the same time we
don't yet have the tools to measure
how rotson and hero work more than
without the tools we can never have the
tools
because it said right
you're saying it transcends our tools
that process and what they're seeing is
only one
one one one element of the picture and
they're not having they don't have
access to the soul's choices
yeah okay you i think you say you're i
think you're on to something this is a
very very
profound complicated subject but this
i think i think your point is is very
well taken
in other words every scientist every
psychologist
every person needs to always have the
humility of knowing that
based on the tools that i have presently
i may come to this interpretation and
understanding
tomorrow i may have different tools or i
have to acknowledge that maybe i'll
never have different tools
these are the tools that i have and
based on this
i'm putting reality into the box
that i find to be perhaps
authentic but i have to have that
humility of this is my way of perceiving
reality
and maybe i'm unaware of different
processes that may be real and may be
very authentic and maybe deeper
right listen to
to to to obliterate the whole concept of
free will even though it's very popular
today
right it's uh it's a very very drastic
move
you know it really means that no person
is ever responsible
for anything that there's no real
ability for any accountability
because happening on a gradual level we
have cases in america
uh all sorts of cases in america where
people have
got free or admitted i've been seriously
there
mitigated the circumstances of the trial
of murder
there's been i think there's a case in
america where
where a woman was um was uh
during mensis was uh acquitted
right is this not a result of where
we're moving
this is the concern right right right
there's no no accountability there's no
free choice yeah
yeah so is it possible that
the scientists who measure those
electrical impulses which lead up to a
decision
they're not measuring every single
decision
we don't in certain ways
because who guides us and sometimes he
has us make a choice
and then it's built in so it's now a
part of us
and we might be reacting to a decision
based off of
a previous choice that we've already
come to that we've already made the
right choice
yeah this is good
very little but you're saying they only
have a snippet a very small part of the
data
right yeah
okay kevin thank you so much for sharing
thank you for your input and your
questions and your feedback
i see another question thank you very
much
as always everybody have a beautiful and
wonderful and inspiring then a good
haidesh
thank you thank you
