Auto-generated transcript. Not time-synced to the video.
what have we uh learned in last year
monday morning
we began the mimer oz
from the balatani and toyota airport
we are up to close to the end of the
second paragraph
if you didn't download your source
sheets please do that right now unless
you have a say for
top of page 124. so
in very very brief terms the balatanya
wanted to know what was the function
what was the purpose of kriyasyamsov
why was it necessary especially when
taisopus writes in eric and after
them at bays that the jewish people
didn't
go through from one side to the other
side but rather it was a semi-circle
the same side they went into was the
same side they came out
and it was not part of their journey
from marriage mitzrayim to eretz kanan
in other words kris yamself was not a
necessity essentially
rather because hashem wanted kriyasyam
so therefore he made sure
to take them in a direction that would
necessitate kriyasyamsov and even then
they weren't even going through the
river they only went through part of the
river and they came out from the same
side that they went in
this means that there was something in
koreasyams of itself that was essential
to mold the jewish people into a nation
and this is also clear from the fact
that khazal tells us
that there's a mitzvah to mention
kriyasyams of every day
in other words the torah says you have
to mention you tease mitsuram every day
the tasteful says that includes also
kriya psalms of which we do in our
governing we speak about kriyasyams of
every day
not only in sukkot zimmer but also be
after kriya shema the whole
bracha called azeras m as the outside of
the king who goes to ezra's
has a whole section about kris yamsev
and today when you darven if you did not
darwin yet
you will be able to focus on it and that
is from after kriya shema you'll see
the whole section of ezra's is dedicated
primarily
or a significant part of it is dedicated
to kriyasyamsof
all the way down to shirakhadasha gulem
tilgal israel that's all about kriyasyam
so people don't realize that
kriyasyamsof
occupies a very significant space in our
daily davening
and in our consciousness i guess the two
are dependent on each other or maybe the
same
so there's a reason for this and for
this the balatani began to explain the
process of davening and the fire that
consumes carbonace
i'm not going to get into the details
everybody could review it themselves and
the shear is also
on the yeshiva.net so you could watch
the replay
and then he discusses the gammarian khul
in the gemara says that whatever is in
sea is in dry land whatever is in dry
land is in sea
by abbashi
the difference is what we call alma
disgusting
the concealed world is the world of
water
and ahmadazgali the revealed world is
the world of dry land and the difference
he said
everything that's here may be here but
in the arm and the sea
it's all concealed by the waterbed
and therefore you do not see the
individual
creatures that exist in the water
because
they're all eclipsed and submerged under
the
waterbed and therefore we cannot see
from an outsider's perspective from the
person
looking at the water we don't see what
is going on inside that's number one
number two another explanation he said
is that the owl the in the sea those
creatures of the sea the fish marine
life need to be submerged visibly
submerged in their source
in order to be able to live and if you
extract the fish from the sea and you
say come
let's take a boat ride let's take a boat
ride
and enjoy the view we know what that
means for the fish it spells
the antithesis of life
on dry land both of these things are
different number one we immediately
see individuality there's no
one waterbed that covers up
all of us every creature and every
existence
is conspicuously distinct and
individuated with its own unique
shape and properties and chemistry and
identity
and in fact that is the mo of the
abortion of dry land
together with that number two
even though we are submerged in oxygen
but we're still visible
every creature is visible separate and
even though we are dependent on the
earth
for our survival and for our continuous
existence
in one way or another what the trees do
for us
in terms of converting sun into energy
which we desperately need in order to be
able to live
each one of us needs the soil in one way
every single one every single living
organism needs the soil
and each soil needs earth but we're not
submerged in the earth
we're distinct we're separate we walk on
top of the earth
in fact we can even you can even get
into a
skyscraper go to the hundredth floor and
be quite
separated from the earth and even in
your home
there's the separation between you and
the earth and even when you're walking
on the ground
you're wearing shoes or slippers or
crocs to separate you from the earth
and man today can be in an airplane for
many many hours man or woman agreeing
with
many others completely different not
submerged it's not like the fish
who needs to be submerged invisible in
the water
on the contrary and this is really where
the point is dramatically articulated
there everyone said this in a minor when
he was explaining this
and i mentioned it in last year it's it
what altered saying here is very is is
is
is more acute when we realize the
contrast
what spells death in one reality spells
life in another reality
you take the fish and you say come out
of the water you'll enjoy the water
that's death
you take the person or the animal and
you say come
i'm gonna put you in the earth so you
could be really one with the source of
life
and that means burial which is after 120
years
after a person passes away what spells
life
in this domain in this reality spells
death in this reality
khalillah and conversely
this is a metaphor call martial
but you can have everything to say
but with a completely different state of
consciousness
souls of yam are called souls of alma
discasya
and what does it mean to live in that
world to live in that world means to
live in a world
of complete vegas
where the very eye is submerged
in the mucker in the source of oxygen
and life
in the divine source of electricity the
divine source of vitality and animation
that vivifies
and is the source of all of existence my
eye is completely submerged in it
and therefore when i look at ahmadis i
don't see
any creature all i see is mayam la
yamakasam now you understand why the
navi says
about the future meshiach comes you
shall yahoo pericured aleph isaiah 11
which we say akron shall basically
remember
he speaks there about the animals
getting along with each other
undomesticated animals regards the eve
and kevis
the wolf will be able to dwell
and live with the lamb the child
will be able to play with the snake
the beer the leopard he goes through
various wild beasts
who will all be at peace
they will not harm each other they will
not destroy each other
why ki why malaha origins
hashem kamayam
la yamakasam because the earth will be
filled
with divine awareness like water covers
the sea
what's the connection now we understand
the connection
because when mullah is there
when there will be the mayan we're under
the water what does this mean
symbolically
it means i don't see that you are
opposite than me and therefore i need to
defeat you in order to win
almades what we see is cosmic oneness
the organic innate unity of the entire
creation
that's the nesham of ahmadis it lives in
that oneness
the very definition of the eye is
that there's no i that is the mathias
that's what he speaks about bitly
matsias
as i explained in the previous shared at
length that the
matcias of souls of alma descartes say
what is their mathias what is their
identity
their identity is that they're one with
the source completely one
and because of that there's complete
unity
because what we see is the divine energy
that unifies all of creation
and therefore if you take them out of
that space
there's no life that is for them the
definition of life
for atem
from the oneness from the absolute
oneness
absolute alignment with the source of
life
mushroom that is who he is
how do we know this his name he had
other names
the gemara says says
had ten names the gomorrah mentions a
few names the madrid mentions all of the
names
nobody knows these names affiliate
marine learn medars you know some other
names
taiv nice names good names
taive pun intended taive
his mother gave him his father gave him
ten names you could look it up
none of these names are known we only
know one name the name that was given to
him by the egyptian princes
bhatia the daughter of paris that's the
only name that stuck it's the name that
the reborn of shalom chose that's the
name
interior for the greatest leader
mushroom
i plucked him out of the water and as we
explained the bellatanya says
and explains to us and enlightens us
what this means
he was taken out of water he was
retrieved from whatever why does that
become his name why does that become the
most important
thing to know about his life obviously
it was very important that's what saved
his life
but why does that become his name
throughout his entire life a name
captures the essence of the person
because it's not just
he was physically retrieved from water
this represents his life moishe was
essentially a creature from water
even when he was in dry land he was in
water when you looked at martial he said
she see you he comes from water
he is a soul that comes from water not
from dry land
he's from yam not from yabbasha if you
remember i think it was last year we
learned
entire ishmael is that there were
funeral shamans from the first shmitah
we come from the second schmidt that
those souls come from the first shmitah
adam we learned that it's on the website
about tayo and tikkun
so therefore moishe can't speak he's
kvat per quadlock
because speaking by definition
necessitates
his gallows revelation communication
moshe's natural state is a state of
complete silence
and the reason for this we can
understand because as the balatania puts
it
dibur and his galas nimna me menu
because
he is
when the very eye is submerged in the
source of life
maisha says i can't really communicate
communication from martial was
antithetical
to his very core to his very essence
because he's completely submerged in the
source
always receiving always absorbing that
a complete state of attachment and
deeper than attachment completely
submerged in that source
so now to be able to speak to
communicate
you have to have a consolidated identity
this is who i am and this is what i want
to communicate to you
mushroom transcends that alma desgali
and
shamas are very different
live in a world where every soul
is distinct and
individuated and in a very revealed way
and you're not submerged in your source
of life
at least not visibly in other words
for you to be authentic you have to
identify
yourself as a being
now who are we are we souls of almodus
kasya we souls of almadesgalya
we all begin as souls of almades gasia
for nine months we live in water
we live in a yam we live in the amniotic
sac in the womb of our mothers
all of us when we go into a mikvah
into the yam essentially symbolically
for a few minutes
or seconds we're going back to that
fetal state our state pre-birth
that's one of the reasons we understand
from this mimer
the pleasure that people have when they
come to beds of water
there's something very delightful
that's triggered in the human psyche
when you come to the ocean
or even when you come to when you look
at a lake or a pond or a river
a well to something joyous to something
special
that's triggered in the ordinary human
being when it comes we come across this
when we come across beds of water we go
into the water
or we even just look at the water it
brings something up
yes it brings up alma descartes
it brings up our memories
of pre-birth it brings up our origin
submerged in water
and on a spiritual level it brings up
our inner vacus
with infinity with aidsife where the
eye does not exist as a separate being
not because the eye doesn't exist but
because the
eye is completely one and aligned
with the divine eye a fish exists
and it exists in a beautiful way some of
those fish are amazing
but it's completely submerged in the
water maishrabenu existed
says he was he reached the ultimate
perfection a human being can reach
like but the definition of his existence
the definition of his eye is what
complete oneness complete vegas
inside the water
and wall water beds beds of water bring
us back to that space
consciously and even more subconsciously
to our own alma discussion on the other
hand we emerge
from the womb we're not called not all
of us are called moisture some of us are
called moistures
but not all of us are called mashalach
because we emerge from the womb masha
remained a creature of water throughout
his life
but we emerge we're born and we're born
into a world of dry land yeah basha
alma desgalia and in that world
my individuated self becomes significant
it becomes important
it's valid and it's my the way
i process life life has to be channeled
and processed in a way
that i can feel my existence and i can
experience my individuality
vis vis-a-vis
and that's why we spoke about the two
streams in human consciousness
the need for attachment and the need for
individuation
what you may call the need for you to be
authentic to you
and both are very powerful features
in the human brain there is the need for
attachment
connection very deep connection
in which really i'm part of you
and you're part of me but there's also
the need for individuation and who am i
me and me
and these two can be a tension with each
other
evolutionary psychologists will explain
it from the perspective of evolution
to really understand the depth of it
it's this nightmare another memorial of
the bellatanya
it's the tension of alma discarsia and
almadesgalya
and the ultimate need for fusion
you want to ask a question it's so
interesting because
uh really was talking about moisture
beta how he couldn't speak
and i was holding this uh note in front
of you telling you to unmute i wasn't
able to speak i
i wish i was on the madrigal mushroom
though where i didn't need to speak
right mushroom did not want to be
unmuted
[Laughter]
maishira bena did not want to be
[Laughter]
so i don't want unmuted be muted some of
us don't want to be muted some of us
don't want to be unmuted
so it's i'm already speaking about the
balance i'm trying to figure out where
the balance is because
we really really want to
and that means to be authentic that
means to be authentic to myself i have
to acknowledge that i'm an amadeus
gallery
yes between
this castle
[Music]
yeah yeah yeah you're going straight to
the point
you're going straight to the point
you're saying that atmos transcends both
and therefore we ultimately have to fuse
them yeah yeah we're gonna get
the trick is there the balance i was
thinking about it
first of all i thought okay 50 50. but
then i said no
because we came from alma descartes
viscosity but but we're fully fully
created
in muhammad so maybe it's more we should
be more in
this scholar but then i was thinking
well we wanted
to yeah so the real goal is to bring
that into that
yeah yeah
can go very quickly from one place to
another ah
yeah we learned in the kuta toyota
parish mini
the mime about leviosa
the difference between nunes the fish of
the sea
and the shareholder that says when
mashiach comes there's going to be a big
meal for the tsaddikim with the
leviathan and the sherhabar
so the laviosa on the leviathan
represents the new shamans of almodes
and the and the sheriff represents the
shamans of alma desgalia
where movement is much slower
and with a whole mo of avoidance hashem
is different
he says they with a ship right the the
some fish
that ain't ship with one uh
one swift motion they can
they can cover huge distances in the
water joseph is blessed by his father
vid
mccolan
the yid ghoul arrived by kyra of haaretz
vidgo
yidgo means dug him fish so literally it
says they should
proliferate they should increase amidst
the earth
but the goo is dug him rashi says ayan
hara shouldn't be charlotte
fish always sleep with the open eyes
ain't up they don't close their eyes
obviously
the yid ghoul arrived but one of the
taichen is
the ghoul arrived the caravarettes that
in ariet which is ahmed is
galia you should be able to have the
connection of the yidugu which is alma
discarsia
that's the bracha of yaakov to yosef who
was living in egypt
who raised ephraim menasha in egypt
without a zadeh
and without the environment that they
had back in eretz israel
joseph was the prime minister of egypt
the yid gula ravi makarova it's in
almadesgalya
you should still be able to have the
yidgu the dog the dog the consciousness
of the fish
yes very powerful
and if you look at shalom he gave us a
background of an ocean
so we can all jump right into alma
disgust
i was saying that if shalom's background
is the ocean
that's this morning's background because
he doesn't just want me to preach he
wants
he wants it to be a we should actually
see the real mikvah and if you're in the
mood you could jump into it
show them it's real i hope yeah we can
come visit you
it's real
beautiful okay there's something about
water there's no question it triggers
these
these these inner inner sentiments inner
emotions in the purse
so now we can now come to a preach we
could now come to
begin appreciating the power of
kriyasyamsaf
now we can understand what is kris
yamsev
kriyasyamsov is not just the water split
the water broke so that the jews could
walk through
and the egyptians ultimately drowned of
course that was kris yamsev
but kriya of syamazov represented
something and it represents something
and that's why
we mentioned kriyasyams of every day
what is kriyasyamsov
it's the opening of alma descartes
it's the fact that the water splits and
everything that was under the water is
now revealed
is now displayed and you could walk
through that space
like you walk through dry land
what does this mean in a person's life
imagine
that all my premiums everything that's
inside that's buried
deep within it's covered by water it's
opened up
and i can actually walk through it i can
walk through it with the same comfort
and ease
with which i walk through dry land
usually
that world is you know no trespass
a big sign no trespassing nobody is
going through that
world it's blocked
we can't live underwater we could go
there for
some periods of time i mean the
submarines
have allowed people to be there for
significant amounts of time but it's not
our natural habitat obviously
spiritually as well
there's a part you could call it the
unconscious the super conscious the
subconscious
that which is beneath the water which we
don't have access to
kriya samson means i can go in there i
don't have to be afraid
god says the water will split and you
could walk in there
on a deeper level what is this this is
what the mimer says it's really the
fusion of alma discussion
it's the ability to be able to go in
to my alma discussion even though i'm a
dry land creature i don't have a
connection there
kriya samsuf was that moment of clarity
when everyone got to be able to walk
through their own yamsev
as though it was dry land which meant in
a very practical way
that you became you become in touch with
your deepest deepest
source of life with your deepest deepest
connection and attachment and alignment
and oneness
with the ain't safe but you do this
walking into dry land they didn't just
jump into the water and
jump right out of it that became yah
basha for those few moments
or those few minutes as long as the
miracle occurred
or those few hours the yamsev became
yabasha
in other words that which is usually the
state of ahmadis
it became their almades galia that
became their consciousness
that became something that is their
reality
why do we mention this every day why was
this so important
to experience after yetis mitzrayim
because
essentially this is the avoider that
every single person
wants to be able to discover within
themselves on a daily basis
because we each have this tension we
each have this duality
and we have it in our very in our
day-to-day lives in our own
relationships
and the best example for this would be
marriage
but really almost every relationship
where there's
two various things going on
simultaneously
on one level i'm looking for attachment
we need attachment
loy taiv what's the first time what is
the first thing the toyota says is not
good you remember the first thing lloyd
adam not good for men to be alone
you can't be alone loneliness is is a
tragedy
people need to feel that they matter to
somebody else
you care for me i'm one with you and
you're one with me
we're connected you know today when
addiction and addiction research we know
listen to this that the antithesis the
opposite of addiction is not sobriety
you know that the opposite of addiction
is not sobriety
the opposite of addiction is connection
connection and that's why your
grandmother when she broke her hip
went to the hospital for three weeks and
they gave her large dosages of morphine
and they gave her a lot a lot of drugs
which essentially were like heroin
and she didn't come out addicted she
should have been addicted
your grandmother was 84 years old should
have come home
a complete heroin addict it never
happened you know why
because she has around 70 grandchildren
jumping on her bed
she never feels disconnected what causes
addiction
is not that i use it again and again of
course
that's the practical element of it but
the real cause of it is i'm not
connected
i'm alone in the world i'm lonely and
that creates a lot of pain
and you want to see how meticulous this
is
anybody knows what's the second
lighthouse in hamish
the second lighthouse in hamas the same
exact words
are used by israeli to maishirabano and
pasha's yesterday
when he says
you're alone it's not good novel table
you're going to wither away
now the light type of bereisha is the
lifetime of israel at different light
terms
but yesterday was saying you're in
ahmedaz kasia they're in ahmedazgalia
we have to find an intermediary here
so back to our back to our point
so connection is essential
attachment today in psychology there's
something very well known as attachment
disorder
attachment disorder means there was a
disorder in my attachment i did not feel
attached as a child
i did not feel that safety that security
i didn't feel like my home or my mother
or my father or my environment or my
school in my community was a nest
in which i can really feel safe and
secure
in which i can be seen and soothed
to the therapists to use the four s's
right
safe secure seeing and soothed
the four s's i have to be able to be
seen i have to be able to be soothed i
have to be able to feel
safety and have to be able to feel
security in a word i have to be able to
feel
attached i have to feel that my eye is
part of something larger something
greater
i'm not just an isolated individuated
creature
trying to function and live on my own
i matter to you you matter to me on the
other hand
if your spouse tells you listen
from today you are part of me but
there's nothing else
we revolt no i need to be me
half half marriage that half of the
marriage therapists will tell you
that a significant amount of their
therapy work is this
i want to be me i want to have my own
life i have an identity i have talents i
have resources i have a future i have my
dreams
so many divorces happen why
because i didn't feel that you know my
dreams could be implemented with you in
my life on the contrary
you're a very nice person but it was not
for my dreams this is
i want to be me
i want to be true to me i'm an
individual
i have my personality i don't want to be
swallowed up by you
i don't want to be submerged in you i
don't want to be in the sea
i want to be noticeable i want to make
my mark
very opposite need
so some people will say this is true
some people will say that's true
they're both true they're both true
i need to be you and i need to be me
i need to be part of you lloyd
sir
attachment begins with tati and mommy
it continues in marriage because there's
no attachment
like the attachment to marriage just
like there's no attachment like the
attachment to tati and mommy
and what happens if there was an
attachment disorder with tati and mommy
there's going to be an attachment
disorder with your husband or your wife
and a lot of your inner work is going to
happen over there
that's why we love blaming our mothers
and our fathers don't we
and they could blame their fathers and
mothers and they could go back to other
melchivan who are they going to blame
they'll blame the snake it's all the
snake's fault trauma
5 801 years intergenerational trauma
from the nakhoshka kadmaini
but nakhosh is begumatri
why because there comes a point where
you have to be able to
release all the trauma and create
healing
so the attachment of even ima is with
the bus and you become one flesh you
become completely
one with the other person that's how the
toyota describes
the human condition this is how reality
works
so you say i don't need vegas i just
need to be myself
no loy sadam
i may be in pain and i may be lonely and
i may be angry and i may have been hurt
and i may be disappointed so therefore i
run away into myself
it's like that child three years old who
doesn't get what he wants and he runs
upstairs to cry
and he says leave me alone i don't want
to see you but really he wants
your connection more than anything else
and if you leave the house and you say
okay
we'll give you up for adoption
it's the most destructive thing you can
do for this child
he's screaming i want to be alone but
really
i want to be alone because i'm feeling
hurt by this connection i'm feeling not
safe i'm feeling not secure
can you prove to me that you're here for
me
this is the real need this is the real
yearning the real search
and as a result of that vacus is the
real
yearning of a person i need to feel that
i matter to you
and in a marriage this is so so
important
the person has to know that you matter
to me i'm here for you i'm thinking
about you
there's space for you in my life real
space for you in my life
and then i want to be me
so you see this is a manifestation in a
very practical way of these two
these two modes ahmadis alma desgalia
and the two can't live without each
other the two are dependent on each
other
why are they dependent on each other
because if a person
is not really connected they can't be
themselves
and if you don't allow me to be me i
can't really be connected
listen to what i'm telling you if i'm
not connected i can't be me
because i'm wounded there's like a
bottomless pit there's an inner
an inner void an inner hole that i can't
fill an inner void that i can't feel
after numb
i have to feel the achtos and if not
i can't really be myself there's too
much anxiety there
on the other hand on the other hand if
i'm not allowed to be
me i also can't be connected because i
feel that the connection
is abusive and overwhelming and will
destroy me
thank you
very
she must because she be to do a togo for
you
so you so your typhus here so if i'm
attached
i could be i could be individual i could
be individuated
and in order to be able to be
individuated i have to be attached but
in order to be able to be attached
i also have to have that sense of
individuation
because if not people say one second
people say you're choking me
you're swallowing me up you're not
letting me breathe
and the two therefore are dependent on
each other
and when they when we learn how to
process it
in our own lives and of course we have
to have the cooperation of the other
what happens is they look they actually
begin helping out each other they
intensify each other
because they're really connected to each
other they're dependent on each other
and we had the other day marriage
seminar with couples
last sunday a full day seminar so i
spoke and
marcia zev lam spoke
and he said a very beautiful point he
said that nowhere like in a marriage
will your authenticity be challenged and
your attachment will be challenged
in other words marriage is an
institution where these two
worlds alma descaste and ahmedazgalia
will be the most tested
in other words they're also the
opportunity for them to be the most
crystallized and articulated in that
relationship
because it's such an intense and
powerful relationship the attachment is
very very deep
even though you're attached to your
siblings and you're attached to your
friends
but it's a different type of attachment
here the attachment is constant and
perpetual
you're living together
so the attachment really has to be
worked out
and the authenticity really has to be
worked out
and and both will be tested in a very
powerful way
and this is what on one level this is
the beginning of understanding at least
on one level
the concept of creations of christians
is can i really be able
to look in and reveal
my inner inner space my yams of my alma
descarcia
what's my disguise is the place where my
eye wants to cease to exist separately
and become submerged
in the ainsaif in the other in the miami
the other is infinity which is me also
because i'm also part of ainslief
but it's reflected in our relationships
with other people like we say that the
muscle of a man and a woman
marriage is a martial for hashem and the
jewish people it's all the same concept
because every relationship on on our in
our world is a microcosm of the ultimate
relationship
that's what the baal shem tov taught
that every relationship that we have
here
is really a way of god seeking a
relationship with us
that's what the monster says all
relationships here are a way of
mending our relationship with hashem
it's it's an extraordinary
teaching of the majestic and that's why
each of our relationships is just a
reflection of this concept
he doesn't only have a yam shalom has a
yamaha daniel has kris yamsev in his
background
i think i could walk through it yeah
you're saying if a person is wounded i'm
sorry repeat your question again
if a person's not connected to another
they can't beat them
and they can't be themselves can you
explain that i i miss that
yeah you said you you the question of
the neil is asking as i understand
when you say that if you're not if
you're not feeling true to yourself it's
very hard to be connected because
i feel that that connection chokes me in
and obliterates me and nullifies me and
i run away from it
on the other it's like it's it's too
it's too overwhelming it's too
inauthentic i'm being inauthentic
and and but what does it what does it
work also the other way of course it
works out the other way because
what often happens is if attachment is
part of my identity
and i don't have it so then my identity
is so wounded
and scarred that i can't really
live up to my dreams to my potentials i
can't be me
or to put it differently much most of my
time and mental space will be dedicated
to numb the pain
due to the attachment disorder much of
my mental space
will be designated to try to fill the
void
and distract me from the fact that i
feel disconnected
to give a practical example for this
i was always
a practical example for this
is is somebody told me once
that they work very hard in their
business
very very hard and they put in so much
work day and night and over
hours very talented fellow very really
talented fellow intelligent smart
educated person
and we were having once a very open
conversation he was a friend of mine
and i asked him
why do you work so hard you work so hard
is this your passion and the words i
heard
were so powerful
and i'm saying them almost verbatim not
verbatim but almost verbatim
he said i grew up and nobody ever
appreciated who i was
i felt like a nebucha i felt
insignificant
and valueless and really dispensable
i'm just not needed and he says
all my work in that office and that
company is
i decided i am going to force them
to believe that i'm needed i am going to
show them and to prove them that i
am needed in this world they're going to
see
how much they're dependent on me now you
hear what he's saying
all of his work has nothing to do with
himself
none of it it has nothing to do with
dreams goals
passions talents resources
it's basically trying to numb
the pain and fill the void of an
attachment disorder
i never felt valued nobody ever saw me
nobody ever i was never attached to
anything in anybody
and therefore i am going to force this
attachment
i am going to force my validation i'm
going to force
myself to be validated
and that's why the two are so deeply and
constantly and
intricately interconnected
what we have in this mimer is
the powerful idea this is not just an
evolutionary random mutation
you got to be connected because we hunt
in packs as foragers we had to hunt in
packs
so we could survive so we had to work
together
and on the other hand for the hunting to
be successful they had to be on
hierarchies everybody had to also
be in their position
so that's a very depressing you know
depiction of mankind
to the point that it's just you know
we're all busy responding
to the various mutations because we
wanted to survive
what this mimer is teaching us is
that alma discus and ahmadis gali are
two inherent components of existence
okay so now this was supposed to be my
summation
yeah this is
no i'm explaining how these these two
modes of reality that the bala tanya is
introducing to us
is manifested on every level of the
human condition
where each of us has these two needs
where does it come from
it comes from the source like everything
that in the human soul there's two
aspects
alma descartia is the fact that there's
a state of consciousness
where my eye is completely submerged and
is one with the source
and doesn't want to be visible it wants
to melt away in the all-pervasive
oneness of
my creator and ahmadis galia is
where god so to speak sends my soul out
of the water
into dry land where it becomes
individuated
mushroom remains ahmadis that's why
naturally he doesn't want to speak
hashem has to really push him and say no
no no i'll help you speak
because by nature by the by the innate
condition of moisturabenu he is subsumed
in the infinite light
and therefore there's no communication
there's no his galas which is basically
a compromise of the energy it's diluting
the energy
to the point where i'm stuck i'm
communicating it to you
maestrabain was in a state of of his
very mitzius is bitter
so therefore naturally he's
big project they're quad a new kitchen
and they've got to figure out all these
details
there's a whole cliche about the husband
and wife tearing each other's hair out
about all the details
how do they bring in this to make that
more peaceful and
efficient so you're asking a husband and
a wife are having a huge debate
about renovating the kitchen and he has
his perspective she has her perspective
how can this mimer help such a couple
make more peace
so now we want our therapy session is
that what we want right now
we got to bring in the wifey and discuss
the kitchen we have to hear what she
says about the kitchen
she says if i'm mistaken not mistaken
she just wants a new house
she says forget the kitchen let's just
buy a 2 million
new house in miami maybe
right and and we'll be good i'm just
joking
i think i think that i'm not joking
maybe she doesn't want that but i don't
know who the wife is so
i think
of course of course of course
it's very important when there's peace
at home
there's when there's peace at home there
could be peace in the world yeah
the lobby should everyone said
of 1961 i think the after
it says i mentioned when she comes the
wolf will lie with the lamb they're
going to be at peace the rebels said you
know why they're going to be at peace
you know why the wolf and the lamb will
be at peace because the wolf and the
lamb inside of me
is going to be at in peace at peace the
nephew shall i kiss and the nephesha
bahamas
there's going to be peace between the
animals inside of me and between the
godly soul and the animal soul
between the domesticated soul and the
undomesticated soul
because there's going to be peace inside
each and every one of us so by osmosis
what happens inside of us
the world exists inside of us affects
the universe
and it affects the planet
and therefore the peace internally is
going to be manifested
in peace externally not only among
humans but even in the animal kingdom
among all of the mammals so when we
create peaceful marriages at home
and when we create peace between
ourselves it's not just you're giving
yourself a better life that's true
but you're also exuding a light into the
world
that other people benefit from it
creates more peacefulness in the world
besides in your home besides in your
family besides in your community
it's extremely important this is a time
i think this is part of the quarantine
divine message
time to work on your marriage now
sometimes
one of the parties is not interested in
any of this they don't want to cooperate
maybe they're too hurt maybe they're too
angry maybe they're too lonely maybe
they've felt
too uh you know nobody listen to them
whatever the situation is but we have to
try to do whatever we can
to the point of of very deep commitment
in order to be able to restore to
restore our relationships i want to tell
you
it was a very gratifying moment for me
many many years ago this is maybe i
don't know 20 years ago
a little less there was a couple that
came to me
they had terrible terrible marital
strife
every day there was a new explosion in
the house
and their kids were suffering they were
little kids they wanted to get divorced
constantly again and again and again it
was every okay today we're getting
divorced tomorrow we're getting divorced
both wonderful people i really like them
very special people
but there was something inside there
that was
very very decadent it was just not
working
and the families were not helpful either
you know sometimes the families are
helpful
remember they're not helpful
and i tried to work with them and i and
i and i tried to help them
and then you know i moved on in my life
they moved on in my life and i didn't
really
have contact with them and just a week
or two ago
i got a message from the husband
about something else he asked me a
question
and i said hey whatever happened
whatever happened
to you you know your marriage your
children
and he sent me pictures of his children
he has had more children
since and they're grown-ups already and
he has a good marriage and a very happy
life and a very fulfilled life and a
successful life baruch hashem
i mean everyone has challenges but thank
god he's
he's doing well in many ways and has a
beautiful family
and he thanked me he thanked me for the
effort i put in then
and then he told me something he said
that you told me then
he told me that you told me then that
for a marriage it's worth fighting for
to the point of mysterious nephesh
and i followed through because so many
instincts in me were running away from
it but i followed through
and it was the best thing i did in my
life now here we have to qualify
mysteriousness doesn't mean
you have to fight for a marriage if
you're being horribly abused
if a woman is being beaten or
kids are being beaten or people's lives
are in danger
then you have to leave a marriage or at
least
you have to consider it very
significantly what mysterious nephesh i
meant was your own mysterious never
sometimes
my pain my trauma my ego my insecurity
tells me no no no just run away run away
run away
never means you really have to be able
to challenge
every fiber in your being and it's worth
it
it's worth it because it's not only
that you'll stay married it's that you
will find who you really are you will
become the best person you're capable of
becoming
to put it in the words of this mime i'm
going to go back
it's very easy to escape to alma
desgalia
and make believe you're not connected
but that's not the truth
if you'll do kriyasyam stuff you'll see
what's happening in your alma discarsia
you'll see
that your eye is so connected and needs
that connection
and needs that vacus the same is true
with god
it's very easy to run away and make
believe i don't care i'm not pathetic
i'm indifferent i'm not the religious
type i'm not the spiritual type
i'm just a baltivo i'm just a glut and i
want to make money and i want to have a
private yacht and a private plane and a
big home
and smoke cuban cigars and go out with
friends and eat good food and drink
delicious wines
and play poker as somebody told me the
other day about his agendas in life
but if you have a little christian so if
you open up yourself to your truth
and sometimes it happens through pain
sometimes
when a person experiences pain in their
life
they get opened their hearts get open
and suddenly they see what matters
they see that these attachments that
they dismissed as irrelevant are really
very very meaningful
so kriyasyamsaf is so important to be
able to have the courage
to walk through the subterranean
corridors
of my soul
subterranean corridors of our soul
i want to learn a few lines here before
we finish i want to learn a few lines
here
it's uh the top of 124
right and we're almost finished the
paragraph the line starts kamai shakasav
and now we're going to understand the
blessing we say
in tehillim
from the world to the world what does
this mean ah
from al madis
means to reveal to access you remember
how maverick is to bend him
to bend the void
means that state in which the infinite
divine
energy is present and all of reality
is not perceived as separate but
completely submerged
in oneness this is called bittel it's
also kula kamekal
khashev everything in his presence
doesn't have a separate significance
because it's all part of oneness
this is a state of kula kamekal khashog
this is the state of ahmedabad
this is a state of bitter medicis this
is a state of slave of calam
dalto rabbi here gave different names to
this state of consciousness ahmadines
kasia
siva of calalman
why is that so significant so this is my
request to all the students
these terms we come across constantly
saiv of kalaman
bittel
but here he's putting them together
because he wants you should understand
what these terms mean
these terms is basically the
consciousness of moisture
24 hours a day where
the i is seen as an aspect of infinity
which means there's no i
because my eye is just a channel for
infinity the only eye that it exists is
the anoint mulvade
that cooler make a light that's alma
but that's a world of oneness what's
that this reality should come out
should be manifested in ahmedabad's
galia
the glory of god will be revealed times
of mashiach and all the flesh we'll see
vero khalbasa that the mouth of hashem
speaks
what does this mean vero khalbasa the
term is buster
busser is not dogging fish is not meat
fish is not flake shakes buster are
mammals that live on earth they don't
live in the water
vero called boston the flesh of alma
desgali those who live on earth the
mammals that live on dry land
will roe will be able to seek vaidarshev
in other words kris yams of in other
words
the neglect hashem that the ancient
slave of kalaman
should be revealed and manifested in the
world of individuation of ahmadis galia
in other words the fusion of the two
realities that even as i experience
myself as me and
as a separate being my own identity my
own existence i should appreciate the
truth that what
that's also part of kalama that's also
part of kula kamehameha
in other words in alma disgassi itself
there's no i
the idea of abraham
should become a reality in almadesgalya
even when i walk in dry land
i should be walking
amidst the sea
you know the beautiful void of the
rabbit of melech
you know that word
you know the word of the name
i'll tell it to you he says like this
but this this
this void you'll hear and you'll
remember it
he says as follows
it says in kris yamsev it says when
when when the story is told the
terrorist says
israel
the jewish people came into the yam
but they came into dry land because they
went into the sea but the sea became dry
at the end of the story at the end of
the sheira
when the jews sing the song they finish
off remember
hashem yimlem
the jewish people went in dry land in
the sea asks
why in the story of creation
it says they went in by your voice
at the end it says
in the beginning it says they went into
the sea and it's through dry land at the
end
it's they went into dry land in the sea
good question no the shalom that's good
brings if i'm not mistaken maybe a piece
of his son
maybe not from the rabbit that may look
himself could be from his thunderball he
have to look it up and he says the
tactless of kriyasyams of was
the purpose of kriyasyamsof was
that when you walk on dry land
you should also experience the
consciousness of kriyasyamsof
the point of creation was to show that
even when you're walking on dry land
it's the same miracle
like we say shabbos
the fact that this earth that was spread
over the water is also a miracle
so the first time is all besides
they went into the yam and it became dry
land the purpose was
that even when you're walking on your
bushing
it should be better
that's the tactilist the end of the
shirt is you know what the jews learned
from kris yamsev that even when you're
walking on ya
the sameness the same enthusiasm the
same miracle
when you're walking by a bush it's not
my brother repsimmon told me he had a
yid who came to learn by him
his name was peter his name is peter
some of you know him himmelman very
special jew
great musician a great singer and he
came from a very very secular background
and he was entrenched in secular culture
so he came to learn with my brother
and so he wanted to trigger him you know
so at the end of the class he turns to
my brother and he said
so there was a picture of the rebb on
the wall
in his home in my brother's home so he
says ah
who's that she says it's my teacher for
the la bhava chereb
this is probably 81 82 83 maybe
so he says ah you're you're a hasid
you're from the hasidim he says
she says so you probably believe that he
can fly right
you probably believe that this rabbi can
fly
he was being cynical
so my brother looked at him and said i
don't know if he can fly
i don't know but i'll tell you what i do
know
that when he walks on the ground
he experiences it
as a miracle just as if he would be
flying
for him just to take a stroll on god's
earth
is perceived as miraculous as flying
i heard this years later from peter and
he told me that that
impacted him so profoundly that's
kasi
they jumped into the arm wow
walking on dry land you wake up in the
morning and you take two steps on the
ground
and you say matera surum
roykar it's
it's the miracle of krishna in other
words in
my daily consciousness in my ahmadis
galia
in my perceived individuation
i should be able to always align myself
with the truth
of kula kameh kaloy khashev
that's
disgusting
okay tomorrow morning we'll have a sheer
basic hashem 7 30
tomorrow morning friday morning so i'll
see you back then
and we'll continue the mimer dimitra i'm
going to wish everybody a wonderful day
let's see what's happening in the
questions department
to fast
okay let's see the matzah here with the
questions a lot of nice comments
aren't we supposed to strive towards
bitter not diversity
why then do you say that ahmadis galio
should stay in diversity in other words
are we supposed to make peace with our
diversity
and self-centered needs or strive
towards a place of unity gevaldic a
question
and the answer is
the answer is it's not making room for
our self-centered needs
it's striving towards a place of unity
and realizing that our diversity
is also part of our unity that's what
you have to understand
and then your diversity is not
self-centered
right you can look at diversity and say
we're self-centered
i'm not an individual i'm just part of a
whole and there's no me
in other words i can deny almades galia
but the real kavanaugh is that's what
he's saying here
to be mamshak in almadesgalya
if you learn if you'll continue learning
with us
maybe you have been learning with us for
a while you'll see these concepts will
become clearer
the individual fish are invisible to us
and not differentiated
but to each of the fish they see the
other individual
differentiated fish and other creatures
of the sea in fact they spot their prey
and eat each other
dido for angels and other creatures of
all hidden worlds
right the marshal of the yamas from our
perspective
you speak about the unity of alma
describe but there are fish that eat
each other
that's true again the mushroom of the
yama is not a perfect muscle
from malaria but it's a metaphor in the
sense
that from our perspective we see the
oneness in the physical world until
mashiach comes we don't have that
physical metaphor
of an oasis where there is complete
oneness
as far as we know fish don't make sounds
and they don't speak either
maybe that's why maestro bainu couldn't
speak because he was like a fish
very interesting fish didn't sin they
weren't destroyed in the marble other
animals did sin and they were destroyed
that's maybe why we eat fish on shabbos
shabbas is alma disgasia so that's why
shabbos
you eat fish they now have discovered
that some animals have contracted corona
so far as we know no fish have
contracted corona they exist in a
different world in a different existence
this works with everything you explained
hashem could have fashioned the miracle
anyway he could have had the jews walk
or swim through the actual water like a
fish
he didn't he wanted them to walk on dry
land in the midst of the sea with walls
of water on either side
i guess there's a significance to this
we didn't actually go through the wet
water
we walked through dry land in the midst
of the water the water pulled back in
other words the water was transformed
into dry land which means almades kasia
was transformed into almadesgalya and
that's the point of this mimer
very well said you say that if i'm not
connected and attached i can't really be
me because i'm only a half and a shama
so if i make believe i'm not attached
i'm not really true to myself
is that the idea of yes that's the idea
of
means right that we are really one
and therefore if i give a whole shekel
meaning i make believe that i'm not
attached
i'm actually not giving a whole shekel
i'm giving a half a shekel
because i'm separated from you but if i
give a half a shekel
that means you're giving the other half
shackle in other words i recognize that
i'm attached
then i'm giving a whole shackle because
my eye is part of you
and together we're giving a whole shekel
this i heard from the rabbi and his last
fabing and shabbos
asked why do you give a half a shekel
all carbonus should be whole not half
the answer is he said because i am a
half of you and you're a half of me
so when i give a half and you give a
half we're giving together one shekel
because i am you and you are me
but if i give a whole shekel which means
i make believe i'm not attached
then actually i am not i am separated
i'm fragmented for myself
i'm not giving a whole shekel i'm only
giving a half shekel because part of me
is not involved
part of me is not giving the shekel so
that's why we give a half because
together
you and i we give one now
so this person says like this on the
other hand you say to be connected and
attached
you have to be completely yourself
to be completely yourself you have to be
connected only when both halves
are half together they can create the
completion
all of creation seems to be unified then
split and differentiated
and the job is to reunify and reattach
those separate parts
same is about all the sparks hashem took
the unified puzzle of his world
broke up the pieces and left it to us to
put it back together
and therefore if i'm not connected and
attached i can't truly be me because i'm
only a half nashamah
but to be connected and attached i must
first truly and completely be
my half when both halves are first their
true and complete half
can they together recreate the
completion whole
the way they were before they were split
just like the sea that's why other
manchava were one
very very well said bittel can be
pronounced
several ways someone pointed out pointed
out
to rabbi shaystab that one pronunciation
can be
be a tool be tool
be a tool be a tool in hashem's hands
like avraham being a chariot bittool is
be
a tool i like that
i like that be a tool
kigaius let god flow through you it's
like the maggot taught about ashai for
you know
the maggot says that we blow shay from
rosh hashanah because hashem blows
the soul of life into adam and he blows
the soul of life into the whole world
and we have to realize i'm like the
sheifer i'm the conduit the tool
through which hashem blows all of his
energy in
you just be the shaifer harem kashaifer
the word
eric uh means a missile a teal
in in in hebrew is a missile right so um
so you're saying be taller as be a till
sometimes you have to be a missile
yeah yeah the word butter literally
is the idea of like you know we have an
etc nullified right nullified
okay
i know it's hard to say goodbye okay
somebody asks a question
the hidden world of the hidden world of
the sea was revealed by kris yamsev
the hidden supernal worlds were revealed
as hashem gave the ten commandments
yeah yeah okay tomorrow morning

remember those fruits and a beautiful

and welcome special welcome to woodridge
bye bye bye bye bye everybody bye
yeah say altm
a couple things i had a couple questions
you have time
i just have to go now i have to uh
krieger from yerushalayim you remember
the pinchas he wants to know
does the balatanya mean that the banay
straw went into the yam suff
and at some point turned around and went
out the same side they went in
yeah it's a toy swiss toy swiss take a
little take a look
toysvis masekte airkin i believe
daf tessavov that's where i think it is
toysvis airkin take out of gemara airkin
i think it's daftas base toys for says
this
i'm sorry aleph this writes
that the jewish people they did not go
through the sea from one side to the
other side but i say
the same side that they went in they
made a semi circle and they went
back up they go in like this and they
don't go through to the other side of
the sea and come out
rather they make a turn and they come
out the same way
they come out from the same side of the
sea that they descended into the sea
i don't think rashid says it but taiswa
says this in gemara ericand of testv
so the balatanya proves from this that
you have to say that kriyasyamsof
had some independent objective and
purpose
take take a look it's enticed first i
don't remember
rashi says they came out from the same
side that they came in
i didn't learn
take a look ready mentioned
a very very heavy gobaltic story a few
days ago
that relates to self-centeredness about
the woman who had
some children they were very poor and
she only had a certain amount of bread
and she went into the room and ate the
bread and
she was really realized that if if she
didn't live they wouldn't live
so she was really being self-centered
for them it was a heavy heavy story
i told it to a friend of mine who just
right away it didn't feel good to him
because his parents were
went through the war and he said oh no a
jewish mommy
is always someone who gives the children
and children and children he couldn't
understand he had like a cognitive
dissonance he couldn't understand
the word exactly i can see where he's
coming from yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah there's also a story of
um two men
chopping wood in the forest and they
have a big pile of wood
and they're chopping wood and they make
money how much wood they chop
and they're chopping and then the one
guy takes a break then the one guy takes
another break later and another break
one guy takes five breaks in the day the
other guy just keeps chopping chopping
chopping
at the end of the day the guy that took
the breaks cut much more wood
the guy that guy that didn't chop so
much wood whenever and asked him what's
going on how did you chop so much
you took so many friends he said i
wasn't taking a break to wrath
to to relax i was sharpening my saw i
was taking care of myself i was
improving
i was giving myself rests and feeding
myself
so that i would be able to produce for
others
yeah yeah beautiful there's a safer
called savas harivash
which has short lines statements ideas
insights of the balsamic
so over there he says that because it
says
the divine energy runs
and returns it ascends and descends
so therefore he says even the greatest
sadiq who are in touch with that energy
they have
these dual motions in life ratsoy
which is a yearning and longing and
avoid and then there's the shoe of
returning he says at the surface
it just looks like a form of relaxation
that can may be perceived as idle but
really
it's the preparation for the next ratsoy
like you're saying i was sharpening the
saw
in order to be able to cut down more
watts
