The Enemy Is Strong, but You Can Do It | Maamar Meraglim Shlach 5715 #1

this new mimer that we're beginning today we're going to start today and azure hashem continue it next week it's a mime on on par which is of course next week's parachute it was said you could see in the headline that is the summer spring summer of 1955. this is a mime or a discourse that was presented by the laboratory during the fabregan on shabbos afternoon printed in his my marim of tafshin teslav 1955 and it's based as we will see on a few of the my marim of the rebel ashab the fifth chabad rebel rabbi shalom passed away in 1920 and he has a series of my maryam known as himself hampshire fresh means the series that began in tafrishain base 1912 on schwarz and continued for four years and in his memoriam of schlock tafrish i indalid 1914 just a little before the first world war broke out these themes were developed and explored and the rebbe a few decades later in 55 set over this miami based on the my modem of the rashab but with added explanation and insight let's begin indian tightness begins interestingly with the words lahavan the hoven to understand often the memorial begin with aposic i think most frequently with aposic sometimes with amaymerchazal like the last that we learned right before schwarz began lakota bahar began with the pasakis but sometimes there are my martyrdom that begin with the words lahavan to understand to understand a certain theme to understand a certain concept to understand a certain event this is one of those my marion he says lahav and pasha to understand what was behind the complaint and the outcry of the spies who said that khazakumimeno that the giants and the peoples the tribes in the land of kanan are more powerful than us and basically yahushua and khalif the two single spies who were not part of the plot responded no we're gonna go up and we're going to inherit this land we can we absolutely can take it the answer itself indicates that their outcry their taina that they're more powerful than us seems authentic there's something true it's ms because yeshua and khalif did not deny their outcry they didn't say you guys are inventing a story they're weaklings it's not a big deal we can do it it's fine don't be dramatic you guys are exaggerating they didn't do that allah amru they said even though they are so powerful me come on i love your rash noises still we can see but their time is real authentic now this is a very powerful insight sometimes we think that by responding to the person who's afraid we say oh there's nothing to be afraid of there's really nothing here there's no substance here we're going to help them but really as we see here if somebody is addressing something real i can't ignore that i can't deny that their response is not that you guys are hallucinating it's it's just your own trauma and it's your own imagination and you're projecting that's not what they're saying if that's what they would be saying they would say the basis of what you guys are saying is a myth it's not true it's imagination you made up a story they're not powerful they're not great in terms of strength they're not mighty there's no special prowess of course we can do it it's fine garnished that's not what they're saying or somebody once said fear when you tell her you tell a person don't be afraid i am afraid you want to tell a person don't be dictated by your fear their time is in emma satina you know they say oh it's not hard no it is hard but you can do it you understand very different delegitimizing my feelings and saying i think it's hard no it's not hard it's not hard so what am i left with i'm left with not being in contact with my reality you're denying my reality it could be that my whole reality is based on a certain perception and in another world i would see a different reality that's possible but in reality this is the reality i'm encountering when you just tell me no this reality is not true so you may not be helping me because you're not addressing where i am but when you can tell me this reality is reality at least from your perception that's fine you could still do it you can still do it that's a whole different story that's what the miragulim are said that yeshua and kalava are saying they're not saying your china is not real and it's clear in the sukkah that they were dealing with giants and children of john's um in fact there's a suggested hey as he brings in the footnotes where hazal explain their stupendous and extraordinary might movement it's all so clear from the main hazel from what our sages say brings it on the in passage we're going to go up they say twice only in isla that yeshua and khalif said even if the land of kanan was in heaven and the reborn of shalom god would tell us build ladders erect ladders and go up to heaven we will still be successful what's the point in saying this their point is saying this is it may feel to all of us and to you that we're actually climbing into the heavens if god will tell us go conquer the moon go conquer mars so we build ladders or today we call them spaceships or robotic spacecrafts and we go asu lama is value why are you saying this just tell them calm down you just had a bad night you're overwhelmed from your fears and traumas your power issues were triggered nothing there's nothing going on there no their titan was ms their titan wasn't a shekel they weren't stopped making up a story they observed things that were scary so they said you're right but even if we had to go to heaven we would be able to find a way even if we had to build ladders that stretched to heaven we would be successful from these words it's clear that based on natural order it's indeed impossible who's reaching heaven nonetheless don't be afraid don't don't surrender to your fear don't be dictated by your fear and don't surrender to paralysis we will still be successful avalabi said ef but indeed based on the normal order of things it would be impossible because they are very powerful we say the mizu furthermore the gemara says insight that the spies said knew that the giants in the land of quran are more powerful than he who's he hashem their words were even the balabayas even the owner of the house doesn't have the ability to come and extract his vessels extract his furniture or utensils from the house in other words even the bellabius can't get into his house and get it out that's how powerful the security is what does this mean this means how can they say such a thing how can they say such a thing did they really think that god was incompetent khalillah but this only shows us what they were seeing what they were seeing was something so scary something so overwhelming something so intense that it would be akin to taking telling me build the ladder and go to heaven thank you it's scary to jump into the heavens to the point that in their imagination even god keva khalil was stuck how do we so this is why the mind begins lahav in indian times to understand what is behind this type of taina and yeshua and call of are not denying it they're just saying despite all of this we can do it now every story every story in torah can be understood on many parallel levels and they're all authentic there's eight mi creativity the gemara says every possible has to be understood left shot not take it out from the literal interpretation but we know this shot is remastered the result says that in every postage there are six hundred thousand interpret interpretations for each soul each soul has its own way to learn apostate i remember one set of fabregan the labacher was talking about i think arashi and he said that somebody mentioned that he already explained it years ago in a different way so why did he explain it last shabbos in a new way she smiled and he said that rizal says there's six hundred thousand interpretations and everything container so two ways to explain something in two ways still doesn't scratch the surface of getting to the six hundred thousand you just did six hundred thousand minus two story as well is the same this it holds true about the story as well this mimer is going to explore the story from a deeper emotional psychological space and then it's mirrored in the physical story of ten spies going and dissuading the people from going into the land and two spies fighting them but we're now going to as in many of the mymara take this story and see it as a mirror and a reflection of the inner inner dynamics of the human spirit the beginning of the understanding of this is the land of seven nations the land of eretz kanan had seven major nations or tribes or somewhat ancient they represent what's called the seven spheres of the world of tahoe shaheen bhattachev gaddal kamashiyas which are extremely powerful as we will explain um [Music] there is a certain intensity in taiyu and because of that it makes their outcry true they are too powerful for us nonetheless we will see yeshua and kalav say yes and nonetheless we can ascend and we can inherit it because we will be successful and in their response we see three points they say we can go up the irrational way so we can conquer it now very general generally speaking what we just said is we have learned this a few times darizel teaches us and it's a fundamental idea in kabbalah and in hasidas that there's something called ilamhattayo and the world of tayu is the world of chaos the world of tikkun is the world of healing and correction and integration hashem built worlds and destroyed them and then he built our world in other words there were a series of worlds before our worlds some capitalists understood them to be physical fossils thyrizal understood them all to be spiritual meaning preceding our world not physically but spiritually there is the world of toyo the world which is known as toyovo voyo a world of absolute chaos and confusion and generally that world huh giants yeah the the our tribes were not giants but it says that in natchez they saw giants and that's why they were they were so afraid no problem so so the world of tahoe was destroyed and the reason it was destroyed it says in kabbalah is because there were itis mirubin the kalimawatum the energy was so intense it was so uninhibited it was so unlimited that ultimately there was a crash the vessels to contain the light cracked they they shattered it's called sverasa caleb and kabbalah the breaking of the vessels also the spheroids butted heads with each other because each one was so intense they didn't create space for each other because it didn't create space for each other so they crashed into each other you know bumping cars but they're not made as bumping cars and as a result of that they shattered the vessels shattered and the lights were scattered everywhere this is the famous metaphor used in kabbalah and so this is about the world of toyo that precedes our world of tikkun so it also has the spheroids all the worlds have the 10 spheres because those are the 10 building blocks through which hashem creates the world listen listen tune in over here but in taiyu ultimately there was a breaking of the vessels everything was shattered and on the debris of toyo a new world was built the new world was built the world of ticker this is very generally what we're saying here and toyo has a tremendous intensity in it taika very very powerful and the miragulum were in touch with the fact that the seven tribes in irish israel were reflections of the seven spheres of toyo and that's why they recognized the tremendous strength and the response of the righteous spies was not your wrong it's that despite that we can do it to understand all of this let's go to the world of tikkun which also has reflections of the intensity of toyo while remember tikkun was built on the debris of tayu so the two worlds are constantly in connection with each other so in each of us there's the part of me that's toyo and the part of me that's tickle the part of me that's tell you is the part of me that's very difficult to conquer very difficult even to understand and it's tremendous very very intense so in tikkun oso you have reflections of the intensity of toyota to see it in a person's soul saying this in a person's life the difference between toyo and tikkun is and middays are a person's emotional sensations and emotional experiences and the rebbe says midos have a tremendous intensity to them they are very very potent they're very powerful when you're feeling a certain way you know this when you're feeling a certain way in that moment and in that feeling this is all that exists and he says furthermore they don't change some he's going to explain at their core they're not they don't they don't change muslim is very different muslim is about awareness ideas cognition is a cerebral experience what i can understand with my brain what is true what is reality midday says my feelings my experience of reality what i am feeling in my heart when i'm feeling in my gut what i am feeling viscerally in my body my sensations and my emotional reactions he says one of the biggest differences in the world of awareness in the world of mice the world of understanding in the world of of of wisdom understanding knowledge cognition cerebral awareness there are constant changes in the world of media is really deep down you'll see there's no changes and he's going to explain what he means and the explanation is when it comes to the state of awareness the process of motion is basically based on the fact that there's different perspectives any intelligent person understands that even though i understand something this way but tomorrow i may change my mind or tomorrow you may convince me that i'm wrong or there is a different perspective base hilla could understand that bay shaman had a different opinion and bashami understood that this a lot of different opinion the gemara says in arizona used to give preference to the word of the to the words of beisham they used to quote them first before their own words why because intelligence is based on the idea that there's different ways of understanding things all of science all of real science is based on this idea you can present the theory you can try to verify the theory but you have to be ready also to realize that this theory is a hypothesis and it's going to be proven wrong when you experiment it's going to be ultimately maybe you will be authenticated or maybe you'll be disproven that's that's the nature of intelligent discourse the nature of intelligent discourse is you don't demonize you don't delegitimize your opponent if yes you're not in a mode of sacral you're not on a motive the mode of making the mode of understanding is to be able to be open to a truth that transcends me so let me try to understand i may understand it this way okay you understand it differently explain it to me maybe i'll agree maybe i'll disagree maybe i won't understand what you're saying and i really have to grow into it but it is true with every scientific theory in history you can present something you can present an idea you can present a perspective you can present a model but by definition you're trying to understand it and you realize that there's no way that your brain captures all the truth in the world and all the data in the world the after action even though now i understand that this is correct this is how i comprehend this is an intelligent person understands there's a different perspective it's a different way of looking at it a different way of seeing it and i may understand it in a different way but i say hello especially i may encounter a great intellectual and somebody who's perhaps deeper and wiser than me and is going to ask a true powerful question on my explanation or my insight or my theory or my perspective or my analysis and he'll give a different presentation that will open me up to a different way of looking at reality and then unless i am embedded and stuck in my ego or my insecurity i will accept uh an idea that was opposite from the idea that i understood yesterday that's what real motion is that's how it works the whole system of gemara is based on this right you present an idea you present an explanation and then you question it either the logic of it or the contradiction to it from other sources and you may present a completely new perspective that is very apt that is opposite from the previous perspective and in the beginning you accepted one perspective and now you accept another perspective by in summation that's how the brain works that's how cognition works there's growth there's flux there's change this transformation who the reason is the reason for this is because seiko understanding always is experienced with with me which means it comes together from details from the division into details they call in sikhi baba rib it's like building a home it's like building a mansion you have to have a lot of details coming together a lot of distinct merchandise a lot of distinct materials coming together and from all of them together you create a home sequel by definition a real sequel a real idea it comes with many protein [Music] foreign every intellectual idea comes with many pratim if if you're presenting an idea there are steps there are nuances there are details and it brings it all together to present the idea of call in fact this is not just a detail this is the objective of circle of father called over to dissect and specify every aspect of typhus and only then will you grasp the idea sometimes a person has an idea and you just i get it but it's very very general and the moment you start taking it apart you don't really get it so real cycle is the ability to compartmentalize and then bring it back together but i have to really dissect everything and i want to understand every detail every aspect because if i ignore some things i may be ignoring something essential and i basically may be going down the wrong road so it's important to get all your details all your facts all your data's and not ignore any of the details on the contrary to analyze it to dissect it for example again when you're learning a piece of gemara right there's an explanation of german it has this aspect and that aspect and one of the basic mistakes people make is that they just they just trust the teacher and they're not getting it and that's why many people never learn how to really learn because they never really learn how to master all the details and i've seen this over the years when i teach especially teaching gemara and mishna yes people they even learned for many many years so they know facts but they never learned how to think something through from beginning to end and that's where they find it boring because in their experience it's all about just trusting that the teacher knows what he's talking about so if the teacher is interesting great and if the teacher is boring there's nothing in it for me because you never learn to think on your own you never learn to really take it apart on your to make it yours when you really understand something from the beginning through the middle to the end it becomes yours you own it according to your ability you can own it on a deeper level the next day the next week the next year and for this it's so important to be able to conquer all the details to conquer all of the components i hope you understand what i'm saying says it's known that grasping anything is through service how do i grasp something whether you're grasping a cup you're grasping a table you have to go to the servers the servers are you want to hop a couch and grasp a couch or a table or a chair or a computer or a vacuum cleaner or whatever it is you always have to go to the service right you take this side i take this side i'm going to take both sides which means this is how you can physically grasp it this is a metaphor the same is true with seiko seikul also has means so to speak its edges and the edges represents its parameters the definitions the articulation in clear decisive formats that's what he calls it you have to compartmentalize it into different details the different sides this is this side of the aspect this side you can grasp it one hand on the right side one hand on the left side east west south north and only then can you recognize the different dimensions and different aspects and sides of the idea and then you can cop it then you can grasp it if you want to just pick up the couch from the middle and you just pick it up it's not going to work i mean if it's if it's a if it's a little tiny thing maybe it'll work but when you have a serious item you have to be able to plan how to get it from different sides and this is the same true and the same truth when it comes to second scholars with shyness a number of the protomothers there's one exception called muscolus reshynis you know what musculus hershyness means initial paradigms that are the baseline for any system of knowledge and they can't be proven they don't come through pratimoksavas through details or dimensions muskala's shyness means in order to delve into any discipline or any subject or any analysis of anything you have to make certain basic assumptions that if you refute them ultimately you can't you can't go to the next step those are called musculus with shyness in other words any this is very interesting any anything that's discussed you can always say and you say well based on this is this based on this and this you can always go but who says that but well based on this and who says that and who and who and who and who and when who says and who says and who says who says and at some point the question why will not be able to be answered every why can be explained by a different why why'd you come to the class today why'd you come to this class today i'm sure you have an answer i hope you have a good answer that answer will also have a why but why so you'll say what but why deeper deeper deeper deeper at some point you're going to say but this is true even you're talking about mathematics you're talking about science you're doing my physics astrophysics because all the deep wisdoms that we have there's more scholars who are shyness basic paradigms upon which everything else is built he says adam amita indiana that's not really the concept of comprehension because they don't emerge through debate they are just like obvious paradigms that are ingrained and that's why they don't represent the real concept of what we're talking about that you weigh two sides and then you prove that this is right and this is not right these basic paradigms precede the analysis in in cognition itself there's different stages the epiphany the aha moment you know the lightning that opens up in your brain i got it he says that's also not the real concept of comprehension is the beginning it's the genesis it's it like pops into your brain and then you need to analyze and you can go deeper out until you get to the point the subconscious point where the idea originates this is not the real concept of comprehension which is grasping the word hasaga means grasping begins with bino what's binabin is the development of the epiphany is the analysis and the development of an idea with all of its details through which you see all of the dimensions the east and the west and the south and the north and the up and the down and then you can grasp it this is the primary space where we're talking about hasag of really comprehending something fully there's bina you know when you're perplexed with something or you're having a difficult moment or a difficult task or a difficult sugar you're trying to learn and then amidst the confusion and the darkness there's a ha like a lightening like in a pitch dark in the thicket of dark and suddenly there's a lightening and everything is illuminated for a split second but the light is so powerful the problem is the lightning is gone and we're back to our darkness that moment of illumination like something shines into my brain from my unconscious like an idea emerges and like i start smiling to myself it's like i know i got it he says but over there there's no details yet i don't grasp it it grasps me i don't grasp it it got me i don't got it that's why if there's no developing in tibena it's going to dissipate it's not going to last bena is this place where you really have to take that that seminal idea seminal idea like the word semen that seed that nakuda and take it and flesh it out it's like the nakuda of the of the the example of it is called abba the father which who produces the tipa the sperm the seed of life but without the mother without bena nothing is going to happen she has to take the seed and conceive it and together with the egg develop an embryo and then develop the fetus over nine months and then ah hashem you have a living child which is incredible so bina takes the idea and really fleshes it out and develops it and shows you there's different aspects there's different directions there's different dimensions and i can grasp it and that's why when it comes to the four elements in a series the nature of fire as we learned in the baha'i if you remember the difference between kneading and baking you remember look at the toilet bag kneading is about water and baking is about fire so what did he say the nature of fire is to break everything apart you put something in fire and fire right away will crumble it will dissect it we'll divide it and then we'll consume it fire does not say let's stay together and let's just look at it from a general perspective no no beena takes things apart it dissects them into protem it needs all their information and detailed information because there's so many different details so by definition there are so many different perspectives because just as i understood this idea today this way tomorrow i may understand the idea very differently why because there's another aspect there's another dimension there's another direction there's another angle there's another detail which challenges me and actually represents a paradoxical point cause albert this is all in the world of machine which is based on shining intelligence is based on growth on change on awareness and opening myself up to different possibilities the different ideas the different insights the different perspectives it's not about confirmation bias that's not mushroom confirmation bias is called bribery and that's why the terrorist says that you now let it take bribe because the moment i take bribes any type of bribe i'm not objective anymore i'm not open to change anymore because i'm about i'm biased i have blind spots so the idea of motion is the constant search for more truth for more truth the constant awareness of different ways of looking at the different perspectives of looking at it thinking out of the box what's in me thinking out of the box right opening myself up to different models to different ways of looking at it why are there so many ways of looking at it the answer is because it's all based on so many different paratham and therefore there could be so many different angles and different perspectives and maintenance by definition is that search the moment you get stuck in a certain place of awareness you're not in the world of mayhem anymore operate in the exact opposite way and one of the greatest conflicts as we're going to learn in this mind one of the greatest conflicts that we have in life is the conflict between our motion and our middles and very often in life we try to delegitimize one of them and what we're going to learn in this my mirror is the powerful idea that you have to understand each one of them you have to understand where michigan comes in to understand where middles come from and then ultimately we learn about the art of synchronization and inner peace and tranquility take some questions yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah which basically is means like the discussion you know shak lovataria is basically like in any gemara there's a lot of discussion okay so i'm going to wish you all a beautiful and meaningful day and the azir hashem what do we have going on we have like this one o'clock today there's going to be a share in taiwan voya by the ramak we're going to learn the fourth

if you write an email to us info yeshiva.net they'll take care of you thank you very much okay a lot of hats um [Music] this this this you know like the old the old uh yeah like somebody once wrote i don't remember if it was herman wook one of these american writers he says that he was in a yeshiva in a yeshiva and there was an old european rabbi who was who was talking to the students so one of the students asked a question so he says the rebbe the russia shiva got excited but he didn't have you know he didn't have a really good english because he spoke yeah dishes mama larson was yiddish so he turns to the boy and he says uh he says you're right you're right you're right and he starts repeating his question and now i'm gonna show you that you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong that's sacrifice you're right you're right you're right and now i'm gonna show you that you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong when when the um kosovos itself how do you pronounce it it's a very uh deep indian very interesting indian the example i was thinking more was about carpentry or mechanics like say building a uh steps or building the base of mikdash you have the um the bigger picture the complete mishkan being built can you mute yourself please oh sorry sorry rabbi it's fine we love to hear your voice but it's just hard to hear somebody else's voice i'm sorry your davening should be without sloka and may god hear your voice just like we hear it and also respond and respond in the affirmative that is or doing carpentry work or maybe building the mishkan how would how would the muscle apply to building i think the edges would that be the complete being completely exactly exactly the edges it's a very very it's a very keen definition you understand an idea by by grasping the edges you got to grasp all the edges if you don't grasp the edges you don't got the idea because it's not defined it has to be defined so to speak you you grasp it through the edges it's really uh it's a it's it's such a it's such a vivid illustration of it the only way i get it is if i hold on to it by the edges you got to grasp it by the edges why because then you have a full picture let's say you have a painting on the wall right and i make a hole in the painting and i pick up the painting that's not how you grasp the painting you're destroying the painting you go to the edges of the painting the top on the bottom and you grasp it but now you have the whole painting in an idea it's the same thing you got to grasp by the edges but for this you have to identify the edges in other words you have to define it you have to have the full piece of art this is the picture it starts here it ends here it includes these aspects it doesn't include these aspects this is another picture don't go there now don't go there now and that's the idea people get confused they mix up things no no he says it's all about definition and that requires compartmentalization and that requires attentiveness to detail attentiveness to detail the right brain is not enough you need also the left hemisphere of the brain and then you can grasp it by the edges and you have the full picture and the same is true when it comes to mechanics same as when it comes to engineering same with you when it comes to carpentry same is true even when you come in when you speak about washing the dishes you got to grasp the kaley by the edges and the same is true when you grasp an idea you grasp it by its edges
