and hi this is a bomb cats we're going
to give a shear now in Lesson Center or
this is for the you test kiss slave
learning campaign this is a mindler from
the ball Tanya from the altar above
commissioners almond of the ADI this is
for next week's parsha where we're
speaking about your safe and he have
dreams that you become ruler he'll
become the king of its family and
eventually became king of the whole of
Egypt and we see the importance of
dreams in the parsha of or vase shape
and from me Cates and so we have to
understand what's the lesson of dreams
in the service of Hashem so the the
Mimer starts by bringing the from
two album Sharmila special Hanukkah film
in this isn't tell them that we're
praising Hashem for the fact that during
the time of godless were like a dream
were like people in a dream there were
machine comes we're going to look back
and consider ourselves like we were
dreaming so we have to understand what
does that mean what does it mean that
the time of God was the time of exile is
like a dream in a Helene who Mahavishnu
how a - Al on the idea of a dream
is that it combines opposites together
remarkably jnanam huh flame killed Ohio
law fighting and it combines things
which are totally different as if it was
one thing behind with Nietzsche passion
is stalling whereas if Lahab claim to
initial requiem Adama this is because
during the time of sleep the person's
intellect which is what differentiates
between opposites it leaves the person
it leaves the being revealed in the
person's mind it goes back into the
subconscious and all that's left in the
person's conscious all that's left in
the person's mind is his imagination
McCoy - madam man yelled hockey bass in
your mouth clean the power of
imagination is able to combine things
which are opposite c'mon spinnerets

like for example person could imagine a
boat flying in the air which even though
it's physically impossible for a regular
boat to fly in the air but in a person's
imagination it can combine two opposites
much recursive Rambam which went up

introduction who has come
carry on her to Elvis Rock chef a hawk
eats from a circus if it's only when a
person wakes up that that's when the
full intellect becomes revealed who

imagination väinämöinen hold our cube
and it does not allow the imagination to
combine things which are opposite the

him because he sees in his mind that
these are things which are separate
enemies laughs I didn't well and then
I'm able to come together so it's when a
person is sleeping in his imagination he
can combine things which doesn't make
sense that they can come together was
that a person is awake his intellect
differentiates that they're not able to
be combined the crafter humor goals
needs to do a cost-benefit shot of who
became a Shana sure before Highness
Trina Moustakas unwary and so too
during the time of exile the spark of a
sham spark of godliness which is in the
Jewish soul it is sleeping and it's like
the intellect the intellect of the
divine soul is divine awareness the
awareness of Hashem is left the person's
consciousness
yahuwah Harkey based the ramp-up claim
so at that time he's able to combine two
things which are not naturally opposite
what is that on the one hand the
escolarium tournament Vanessa Mata the
whole day a person is busy with his
occupation in his business making money
each of its enemy cut sale is their
finances Hulu that each person has a
business that they're trying to seek to
make profit from their business whatever
business it is some people have their
olive orchards and other types of
business each person and they're trying
to make money agawid feel more SAP
Archie just was this passion mover
shakalu but this that they're going to
work they're going to make money comes
right after prayer come to time of
Dominic at a time of Prayer in the time
of domine a person who except a lot for
a sham that they won't have nothing to
do with anything material they want to
divest himself they want remove
themselves from any interest in anything
material the del cobre colossus bernisa
beautifully law the authority talk this
comes about that he wants to connect
himself to a sham because he thought
about he contemplated her shams unity
during the time of darvany he thought
about hashem when he said she maestro
hashem elokenu shimmer flood
he thought about the fact that a sham
he's the true existence I said brush em
come on more closely the void he also
thought about the fact that not only is
a sham the whole the true existence that
he's creating everything constantly but
even from my perspective I'm able to
recognize that that's true it makes
sense a sham is everywhere sham is
everything and nothing can leave Hashem
nothing can go outside of a sham so he's
the only thing that really matters so
why would I want anything else why would
I want any material desires for peace in
our country the whole of history of
Sahaba nonetheless after prayer after
doubling this love slips away Venus some
believe IQ hypo Hosmer an ostrich
feather he doesn't take the heart that's
exactly the opposite of the
contemplation he had during prayer
during happening
Manami believes the Harkey prohibition
in your claim you have had and he
imagines that that we can connect we can
combine these two things at your
opposite key the real autonomous it was
one thing am I sitting in front of a
exam is there when in truth are
totally separate to have a love for our
Shem and I love physicality really two
opposite things and it's like only a
dream and imagination that they can come
together that during the opening during
prayer he only loves a sham and during
work he's only thinking about how much
money is going to make from his work ok
gummed up sleepy tMT's dresser desk ah
now we find in the Tarot Hashem wants us
to work Russia wants us to make money so
why is it a contradiction to working and
making money why is it a contradiction
to the love of a sham during prayer
during the happening
Sakia gum difficile tear even though it
says natira shush sheesh and empties
yourself last six years you should work
your field behind the Christian man so
tutoring Christian why we say of the
beholder biochemical then the settiement
are coming all over self to dig in aha
who and what does it say in the second
part ships from on the second paragraph
of Shaba
it said you should serve a shine with
all your heart which means you should
pray and you should doubt it and then it
says I'm gonna give you rein in your
fields and you'll gather in your crops
in your grain so we see that Hashem
wants both session wants us to pray he
wants its adoption and he wants us to
work and make money so why are we seeing
it's a contradiction Pina Colada our
material occupation is part of our
service of a sham do you do a shabak la
enemas
each month and you know where to stash
em like we know that everything in this
world has a way that we're using it to
serve Hashem Shane empties Yahoo
luminaries Hulu when it says in the
plastic regarding the shmita cycle that
Alana beer to stroll we plant the year
the ground that we worked the ground for
six years and the 70th shmita were not
allowed to work the ground so that's a
hint that's a mystical concept which is
hinting to our whole service of a sham
during the six thousand years and the
seven thousand year of creation the
first six thousand years from the time
of Shem created the world we have to
refine and elevate the material world
and connect it to a sham to make it a
long place for a sham and in the seventh
thousand year the seventh millennia
that's where Emma is fully revealed and
we don't have to work to find it anymore
rather we're just going to connect a
sham on a deeper level just like during
shemitah where we don't have to work the
land we just get to eat the fruits that
grow by themselves whoo Indian hobby
room ship of cleanness chase Shaun him
what are these six years they correspond
to the idea of refinement of the world
for how logical a massage Hashanah
service and the seventh year corresponds
to the elevation of the seventh year
referring to the seven thousand
millennia when the world will be totally
refined merchants purmamarca lady
explained elsewhere and classless Rococo
Von Tussle avian Han Honda berm
depending on a person's intention that
is really what matters in other words
Hashem for sure wants us to have a
material occupation and to have a
profession and to make money but the
real purpose behind it is in order to
connect the material world with Hashem
to connect the physical world with
Hashem because Hashem could give us
money and Hashem could give us all our
material needs without having to go and
work we could sit and we could learn and
we could pray and we could do mitzvahs
and we didn't have to work to make money
like it says in the gomorrah condition
the all the animals Hashem gives them
whatever they need without them having
to work so why do we have to work is
because there's an inner purpose why we
have to do this what's the inner purpose
the inner purpose behind it is to
connect the physical world with the Shem
to connect the physical world and refine
it that it should be connected to a
Jewish person who's serving on Shem
that's the real purpose of why we're
going into the world so therefore that's
not a contradiction to the lavash em
during the time of prayer we come to a
great love for a sham and we take that
love I will use it to refine the
material world that it should also be
connected to Hashem but not that his
whole day he's just thinking about how
he's gonna make money off a later time
or Internet him ever be someone who come
keep shooting but many people there is
not their intention rather their
intention is just to get the physical
bread the problem Cheney Adama so that
they're not thinking about this
spiritual intention if liberal enough
NOP acaba never oh yeah and the heart is
not focused on this proper purpose and
it's proper intention of refining the
world and connecting it to a sham rather
they're just thinking about the material
aspect Brazil mama she professorship
it's Fela this is the exact opposite
feeling than the feeling we had during
prayer during Domini miss Nick bubbly
behalf of ashram lavada litera berserk
last wish on hulu during the time of
prayer during the time of governing it's
fixed in a person's heart the love only
for a sham it doesn't want anything else
so these are two opposite feelings so it
seems like a dream he could have two
opposition's at the same time in a comic
or head of remember seda we believe hard
um I love Lamar
Kyocera but to be the villainous to
hinder mutinous shove a person might
come to think that his prayer is
happening he's not worth anything his
love for a sham it's not real because if
it was real then it would last the whole
day then he would all day be having this
feeling for a sham and since after
prayer he has a feeling for his material
needs for material desires so maybe that
proves that he's feeling fresh time
during prayer was not right was not was
not real was not was not true she who
come my uncle I mean it's like a dream
sure who cook curry I found my damage of
a higher base of welcome which is the
imaginary power that a person's
imagination he can connect opposites
kini me a fresh ribbon abstract feeling
Shahana for survival hashem since after
prayer a person sees that his love
freshman goes away it was happily have
with school for DAF car and instead what
does he feel he feels love for his body
for his material things I move on ship
gambit Fela would be Travis goof on
McCormick oh this may be this proves
that during prayer he didn't really
remove his love for his body
the hazards but feel the sava national
Avada anomalies and therefore his
arousal of the slub for a sham during
prayer was not true
that's what he's thinking rock the
inoculum sure macabre bass often it's
just like a dream that can connect to
opposites the dermal layer is a shell of
BFA nervous goofily and therefore he
imagines that he can love Hashem and
also love his body a gam keloid circle
you have stuff even though they both
can't be true to go they can coexist the
love for Hashem I don't love for
material things at the same time the
fishes the fishes and oka McCoy - Adama
not sure you're all done with Samir nice
job and this is just from his
imagination and it could imagine things
that are not real so this is what a
person might think a person might get
sad and they might get upset and say why
am i working hard to awaken a love fresh
time during prayer and then right after
prayer I see that I love other things I
love material things so maybe it's not
real maybe all my work is not
accomplishing anything because the love
for our sham is only temporary and then
afterwards I have a love for material
things and only an imagination can have
both together so maybe that proves that
the love for sham was not real the
ultimate says no it's not true really
the love for a sham during prayer was
true what's real had very deep meaning
and the fact that afterwards he has a
love for material things it's because
we're in the time of exile were in the
time of a dream now MSN imagenes columns
and milah
we students America - onion the truth is
this dream this that we're able to have
these two opposites the club for a sham
and love for material things which
that's like a dream that can in a
person's imagination you can - opposites
can come together this source the
spiritual source of the stream is in a
very high level of holiness if you even
buy a commercial customer who Yamaha -
marathon will understand this based on
explaining what it says in the pustak on
that day when my chef comes
Hashem will be one and his name will be
one well first but Gomorrah ought to
hidden no love Schmoyer thought who the
rumour asks what does it mean only on
that day Hashem's name will be one but
what now his name is not one from
Hashanah no pension lift up on your neck
ruffle and the more answers shams name
it's not pronounced the same way that
it's written a shams name is written
with the four letters every good and
then I hate and then above and then Hey
whereas it's pronounced with the name of
Allah Feldman hood so it's written one
way and it's pronounced differently
so that's lacking in unity so what does
that mean what's the significance behind
saying that it's written one way and
it's pronounced another way and that's a
lack of unity
twinny and quiche boy who became a
scholar who became a scholar said he is
Hashem's name which that's a sham
revelation just like a name is what you
used to call your friend to call someone
else
that's his expression to us his
connection to you as gems name means his
revelation to us how were able to relate
to him and during the time of Galvis
during the time of exile we don't see
how sham the way he really is the high
internet Commission after the Revolution
article and therefore sham his name is
not written he's not pronounced the way
that it's written in other words Hashem
we don't see a sham the way that Hashem
really is it's like a person he has his
real name and then he has an alias he
has another name that he's called by but
that's not who he really is
cover your whole it's not exactly it's
not the perfect marshal but the idea is
Hashem the way really is is your cave of
K which means he's was is I will be he's
beyond all limitations he's infinite
he's everywhere he's everything he's the
real ultimate truth that's Hashem the
way he really is the real truth that
he's present right here right now what
do we see we only see Abner online means
master means Hashem he's running the
show he's managing everything but not
we're not seeing that he's here directly
so this is that we're not seeing him
directly that's different than the way
he really is because really he's
actually right here
but we don't see that he's here we only
see that he's the master so that's a
lack of unity that he's not expressing
himself to also we're not experiencing
him the way that he really is Mohini bug
also behind a strain of a stock with
cement plus Cleveland Hulu during the
time of exile which is like sleep and
during the time of sleep a person's
intellect returns to the subconscious
which is called as a heart is that the
three aspects of intellect
become included in the three aspects of
emotions which means like this when a
person sleeps the higher level of
intellect withdraws back to the subcon
and the lower levels of intellect which
is necessary for the body to live in
function and for a person's dreams to
function
that's what remains in the body so what
remains from the intellect becomes
included becomes part of this lower
level like these emotions so that's
called the three levels of intellect the
way that it's included in emotion in
other words not the higher true
intellect that you see when a person is
awake only the remnant of intellect
that's able to guide his dreams follows
nish Muslim my chef is assigned me the
Maya Hulu and then the higher part of
the soul the higher part of the neshamah
which is inclusion at the higher part
and intellect returns back to its source
support deep into the subconscious that
part of the person which in hassanis is
called the hayashida the part of the
soul which is not limited to the body
and there receives new life from the
essence of the soul so we have these two
things happening when a person sleeping
the higher part of the soul that the
neshamah and the raw goes back to its
source in the hiya theta goes back into
the subconscious the higher part of the
until it goes back into the subconscious
and the lower part of the soul the
nephesh the this is what remains in the
body and gives life to the body and as
was expressed in the dreams that a
person has so the higher part of the
soul which returns to the subconscious
which turns back into the highest leader
it connects to a very high level what
level is that called the Shambhala
looking us a Gulen in the subconscious
in the higher cedar everything is exists
together as one that's called a circle
just like in a circle everything is
equally distant from the center and you
can draw a straight line from one point
to any other point on the circle without
having to go through any other point so
to in the subconscious and the highest
lead and the deeper part of the soul
which is not revealed in the body all
the soul powers all exist is one that's
called ghulam circles shame behind
behind that's my other motto
then that level there's no top and
bottom Michael Cole Bush Roxas rather
everything is equal this Carlos and
everything is united this effort is
calling on evolution paired with Hoku's
and so all the soul powers they all
exist as one LT exists together can they
demand my result it avail different than
Kim Hyon like it says that you could
have two opinions in the Terra once
there's this thing is kosher one said
this thing is not kosher
and it could both be true in the
physical world they can't both be true
because in the physical world either you
could eat it or you cannot eat it but in
the spiritual source in the way that
it's Anna Shems wisdom both could be two
valid explanations of the plastic of a
verse one what derives from it that is
kosher manoeuvres derive some of that's
not kosher so on a higher level two
opposites can coexist even though in the
physical world they cannot coexist so
similarly in the subconscious the
different soul powers which could be
opposite like kindness and severity they
all exist is one in this higher level
called the Gulen rakesh after Cobham
audacious caucus kavya mean classical
it's only when the soul powers are then
drawn down and revealed in the conscious
level then it's called like channels
there's a specific channel there's a
channel of kindness a channel of
severity and the channels don't mix
kindness is only kindness and severity
is only severity and they have to
interact but they're separate and the
same thing intellect is expressed in two
emotions and emotions is expressed into
action so there's an order of a bob of
top and bottom of is a progression of
the soul powers and how it comes down
into expression it's not all existing at
one there's a specific order of how
everything is expressed mush and came in
volcanoes to ghulam angel Moustakas
cloud which is not the case on this
subconscious level called circles that
there there's no differentiation the
Sham Co aramis party LaMotta macabre
Mokelumne Akkad they are not level all
the things which in the body which in
the conscious level are all separate in
the subconscious level they're all one
thing Venetian period with Hawk
Whisperer name and they're not seen any
separation distinction between them
fleece pajamas are big you LaMotta in a
chemo ebook honest universe ACOs
American Burgos it's on the spiritual
level we're using this analogy of
comparing a person sleep
to the time of exile so just like in the
time of a person sleeping when is the
subconscious revealed is only in a dream
when a person is awake you're seeing
it's conscious you're seeing how he's
thinking and there's an order of there's
a logical order of how a person is
acting and how things have to happen
when a person is awake whereas when a
person is sleeping there's an expression
from the subconscious and that opposites
can combine so even though dreams when a
person is on is dreaming that's on a
lower level than intellect because
things don't make sense but there's an
advantage in dreams that they're also
expressing something from the
subconscious which is even higher than
intellect so it's the same thing in the
time of Exile compared to the time of
the base Invictus in the time of the
base time extension was revealed
we saw Hashem's name javea we saw the
Shem that he's here that he's a hundred
percent here so this is a very high
level whereas the time of Exile we're
not seeing that we're only seeing that
Hashem is the master but not that
weren't seeing Hashem being a presence
as much but there's an advantage that
we're seeing an aspect of Hashem strewth
which is even beyond making sense beyond
the fact that he's present and he makes
sense works works connecting to Hashem
the way that his revelation is on the
level of ego among a lot of circles and
level where there's infinite
possibilities and all opposites can
exist together so in the time of exile
we're actually connecting to Hashem on a
deeper level even though it's less
revealed even though we're not aware of
it as much
Ashley especially as a beginner matter
but Laura for this high level of II
Gulen this higher level Michelle's
revelation which corresponds to the
subconscious of the person a Nakia Molly
Dave bussiness Trina Moustakas emotional
roles it's only during through the
aspect of sleeping and retraction of the
intellect during time of exile during
the time of godless Wells NMR I'll be
Shimon card ruse regarding this it says
I will clothe the heavens with darkness
in other words that the heavens this
high level which is beyond our
understanding beyond limitations beyond
logic it's comes packaged in darkness in
the only the time of darkness are able
to access this level called shaman
called this this level which is beyond
all limitations Sherman may miss
hennesey Gulen Shah maíam heavens is
referenced to Eagle encircles was like
in the physical world the heavens
encompass the earth there like the
circle so too in the spiritual level the
idea of heavens is this infinite truth
of a Shem which was beyond the
limitations of all the worlds and where
do you able to connect to them there's
only a time of darkness in the time of
goals came about you can discard those
relationships they become in clothes and
investing only in the aspect of darkness
show how the master which means a
concealment on Hashem's presence shows
me Oh miss night seats I mean the my law
mayor the malian true before Tennessee
Ghulam that then during the time of
godless this shines and they expressed
from above from the high world called
Gulen the Venus Hollow and whereas it
expressed in this in this theoretical
jihad in this godless which is called a
dream that just like a dream there's an
expression of the subconscious in the
fact that the dream opposites can happen
things that you are possible can happen
in a dream so - in time of gaullism time
of exile there's an expression from this
higher world called ego limb from save
of Coleman from the way that he's beyond
a sham is beyond our limitations is
expressed specifically in the darkness
and the time of exile which is called a
dream Sequeira sama dama ilaha bursting
a fossil - a fmq the himalaya Hamish
which this is the power of imagination
that can combine different opposites as
though they're one thing so just like in
a dream
a person's imagination can make
impossible things happen which is really
reflection of the subconscious so - in
the spiritual dream of exile the fact
that we've seen things which don't make
sense is really an expression of a sham
the way that he's hired they're making
sense within a sham is higher than all
the order of all the worlds the fish'
bam mr. Sherman hollien him a lumber
mill caught him this is because in their
spiritual source in this Hut in this
world called the Ghulam everything is
one he shambled what kind of signal and
canal because there everything exists
together so in other words when a Shem
created the world
it says Hashem created
using his words and using his thoughts
and when Hashem is creating the world on
a revealed level using his words and
thoughts every every app everything that
he created had his own specific words
his own specific thoughts Fred just for
that thing whereas in the original
source in a shams deeper level of
thought like the which is corresponding
to the subconscious everything exists
all together there's one before Shem
creator of the world is all separate
things they all existed in one thought
in Hashem it's in that one thought on a
Shem every all opposites and all
opposite possibilities and all opposite
ideas they all existed as one one
thought in Hashem and it's only as they
came down in Mississippi became specific
thing specific world specific objects in
the world that they became separated but
the fact that they're able to reunite in
the world because in their source in
Hashem they originally were one thing
