Okay. All right. We are continuing our
shir connecting a little bit also to the
para but also trying to understand the
concepts called partufim which are
brought in cababalistic literature.
People tend to say that it's a little
bit difficult to understand to
understand the details the differences
between what a sphere is and a part. So
therefore I'm going to try to expand on
that idea right now
right now. Basically until now we
mentioned that the idea of the partim is
to formate individual spheres from being
individual to work as one body as one
whole and by doing that it's able to
become it's able to become a um it's one
full part by doing that it's able to
contain much more light and it avoided
the breaking of the utensils what is
known as the breaking of the utensils
and as a result of that it's able to
funnel channel down to meen the or the
light so it can come down and be used
and be practical if we could say
something that we can get our hands on.
Now there are a number of different uh
benefits that we have from this scenario
and from that we're going to learn a
little bit about what how the part two
framework work. Okay. Now the first one
which I ended up the last year last week
was and it's definitely connected to
para also is the idea of what we call in
other words instead of me taking all the
light instead of each individual sphere
taking on the light to its own they work
together and that causes success that is
the key to success individually they
cannot handle the light by themselves
but when they're handing one light to
the other and they work together gives
his of to and gur gives
and everybody does their and
distributing it to each other. So then
we have which means there's a give and
take between us and by doing that we are
able to contain all the ore. This is the
mid of which the world stands on. We
know
is what the world stands on in a very
hedonistic world. It was a world of
destruction. The dora mabul was all
about myself and that's why it needed to
be destroyed. Not just because of
punishment but automatically the second
that you're only worried about yourself
it means destruction. It's a direct
consequence because you can't handle all
the ore of the
and therefore you have no connection to
the higher worlds. That's in par Noah.
Of course in par we have stone turning
over for exactly the same reason being
extremely selfish hedonistic maybe
something we might be familiar with in
some western world countries something
very focused on myself the me myself and
I and as a result of that it turns into
a place that cannot survive. It needs to
be turned topsyturvy
is
that is the foundations of how one can
stay afloat. That is how we stay in this
world because by giving and taking we
distribute amongst each other the or in
a very even way and therefore
the world is able to survive. Of course
that is ofu who was the one who started
the real world. He's the one who was
able to continue keep continuous keep
continuing the the world to a continuous
status because he was the one who was
the mid of it's not coincidental that he
was just a nice guy. People just picture
Ramino as a nice guy. No, no, no. It was
a lot more than that. It was one that
had to do with being able to give over
and over. That of course is a Ramino. If
I could just connect it also to our para
in our para also of course we know that
we have the idea of getting a forit. Now
normally if I want to find a for my cute
littlek he's a big tummy
and he's he's so nice and everything. So
how do I find a for him? I want a good
base yakob girl. What's the problem? So
so what are you looking for? I'm looking
for good meters. All right. Wow, you're
really original. I'm looking for a good
with girl meet us and she's a good girl,
etc., etc. That's usually what we're
focused on. No, that's usually what it
is. But over here, we see that Abram was
very meticulous. Besides, it has to be
for my family. She has to have real and
we needed all the signs from Elzar from
doing all this fancy footwork. you know,
all these fancy types of that she's
going to feed me and the gum and then
the the workers and all these
interesting, incredible things which
everybody has a druss about to be able
to figure out all the beautiful of it
seems like there was a lot more than
just being a good girl, right? At the
end of the day, she had to be a good
girl, a nice girl that we can go ahead
and make her fork. It seemed to be there
was a lot more to it. And the answer is
because
the world is made up of two aspects and
din
is something that is needed for is great
but too much is dangerous. It's
explosive. It's the of which is great
but when you take it to an extreme you
are is
the meat of
illicit relations comes from and
therefore it's dangerous to to have too
much
is good it's expansive but it has to
have din it has to have a a limitation
we know a man has a certain he's the
meat of that means because he's able to
develop every 10 minutes he's able to
have another child almost 10 15 minutes.
He has the capabilities of that. It's
constantly more and more and more. But
it's useless. The seed just spills. It
doesn't have any type of use unless it
there's a place to make a to put dim to
put it to give it boundaries to give
limitation so that it can get to
gestation that it can grow. What we grow
is gestation can only come to that. So
all needs and all needs the two need
together. If you have true Dinos if only
then you have as you have going to the
extreme of course he connected to asitzk
connected to as because he was the me of
the problem is as went overboard had the
meat of din of he was able to restrict
himself he was in control of himself he
was completely never left Israel he was
on a very high level he only had one
wife thereu was on the misbe he was a
person who was a corbin the highest of
the highest
>> [clears throat]
>> But when you take din to an extreme so
you end up getting what we call as of
course was the killer a murderer he goes
ahead and takes other people's lives
away so we need [snorts]
the world was created with din and is it
sweetens the din it sweetens the din
from becoming too much that's familiar
with if that's true so that is why after
was and s was din she threw out. She was
very strong in certain scenarios. We
knew that she needed to be strong in
certain scenarios. Midrashim speak a few
strong things that Sah did sometimes
even in terms of with the with
but was
needed S to have you need but you also
need
right you need both as opposed to
he was so said one second is you better
get a lady that's I need one that's
cooler her kishkas are she has to live
not just that she's a nice girl. She's a
good bas of girl and she gets straight
A's in class. I need someone that her
whole mus her whole way of thinking is
it's her embodiment of a person to be
and therefore alazar needed all these
special signs in order to find a that is
I'm not going into this and I don't even
understand until the end but the ael
when he speaks about the in when he
speaks about the that did he said that
she was doing things in the highest
worlds
big stuff she was doing. It says lashel
that the kad that she used. She used a
kad a picture and it says that three
different pictures she did. One for
alza, one for the men, one for the gum.
There were three pictures. So kad is 24.
24 * three is the gumatria of 72. It's
the same gamatri of you understand. And
she he says it's connected the three
types of spher of the different type
is number three of the spirit and
therefore there are three kadim and that
is kg tarret which means that rivka was
doing some heavyduty cabalistic and all
at the big age of 3 years old right she
knew she knew what she was doing these
women were something else huh she was
able to do all these incredible ideas
but it wasn't enough just that she was
nice. She said, "Okay, you're a nice
guy. Thank you for the candy and have a
nice day." No, no, no. We're not just
looking for being nice. Someone who was
the essence, the moot of what we call
and that's why she was able to be
tantamount to she was able to have a din
with and that's why it was the perfect.
Okay, that is the idea over here. But
the idea that I'm trying to bring out
from here is yes, the world only
survives with the idea of putting it
together which is the of the So here's
an incredible which I one time saw in
which connects to this idea by the way.
So you'll tell me if you think about it
where we're in trouble. If you think
about it, we're really in trouble. Why?
Because we're saying that the way to
make a tikun thing all the vessels break
when you're by yourself. When we work
selfishly
too much or breaks all the vessels, the
way to succeed is that we all work
together. That everybody works together
that we're all and we try together. The
world doesn't really work so together.
The world is very into their selfish
self if I could say. So if we're all
into our own self, our own selfish self,
it's a little bit of a problem because
how are we going to get to Msiah? We
seem to be in a very problematic
scenario. Every things are very
disparit, separated, right? Things are
we need to get together. That's why we
always advertise
a is very important because by doing
that we're able to do it. So here's a
beautiful that yes it's true that it
might be someone like that but we see a
phenomenon in our day and age which has
never existed in the history of mankind.
an incredible phenomenon and it's very
similar to the partim. What is that
phenomenon? It's something known as
technology. It's something known as
social media. I know that sounds like a
bad word, but in this context, we're
actually not going to use it as a bad
word. In 1886, there was a man named
Graham Bell who gave came up with one of
the most uh incredible inventions that
uh that really took over the planet and
that is that I could be far away from
you and actually speak to you through
something called a telephone, something
known as a telephone. An incredible
invention that to this day is hard to
understand. Now, of course, everyone
thinks about a telephone, they go it's
old, olden days. But that was an
incredible idea. It started of course
with the telegraph. It moved up in line
to the telephone and it was not far. It
had to be you had to be somewhat local
for the telephone to happen. One time a
beautiful uh I went heard an interesting
thing. You know when the wrote a safer
wrote the safer in 1883
in 1883. That's when the wrote a safer.
It was in the 1880s. Why is that funny?
Because it's exactly the same time when
Graanbell discovered the telephone at
the same time coincidentally. What does
that mean? Because
is
the second this phone is around which is
a walking lash and har machine right
when you have a phone it's all about
talking and you can talk to each other
and everybody and you could speak behind
people's backs all the time because
nobody can hear you. It's between you
and the guy on the telephone. So
suddenly we have that introduced this
incredible book called Prophetim which
is there in order to save us from all
problems of interesting right anyways so
that is the idea that happened in the
1880s after the telegraph the telephone
of course we knew longdistance call were
occur were able to occur during the
1900s we moved on to something known as
internet of course we move on to social
media and now you can get in touch with
anyone in our days you know I'm I'm not
even that old I'm only a little bit old
and in my day to be able to speak long
distance cost money. You counted the
minutes. You're like, "Okay, I could
talk 5 minutes. I can't afford any more
than 5 minutes." And you used to talk
for 5 minutes and that was it, right?
You had to go ahead and I was here in
Israel for a year after my high school
year.
You had to put in a bunch of and you're
like counting them and count. Yeah. So,
it's really good to talk to. I I got to
go. I'm sorry. It's choo choo like
[snorts] you can't even you can't even
have a normal conversation. And it was
the best thing in the world. You should
know. That's the only reason why people
could be because when you're
disconnected from the other world,
you're able to actually do something.
But nowadays, everyone's connected. But
we have turned into, listen to this, a
stage where the whole world has become
one global village. We've become one
global village. Everybody is just one
little, it's a big world that is very
small because everyone is in touch with
anyone no matter where you are. In the
chook of a couple seconds, I'm able to
completely be in touch with you. And we
are all interconnected no matter what.
Distance is not a factor anymore.
Something that we already take for
granted. The fact that someone's in
Tijana doesn't affect like, wow, when's
the next time I'm going to see him? Oh,
I'm so fat. Get on Zoom and look at him.
What's the problem? Go ahead and have a
smoo with him. What's the problem?
Anytime you want, you can speak to them.
Have your You can have your meetings.
You don't have to fly anywhere. you can
go ahead and have a nice interconnected
connection with him.
Okay. it also through biotechnology
through all the technology it's been
that not just that as much as I've tried
many people maybe similar to me have
tried to not have a connection to
internet it's very very hard you at
least have to have emails and even
emails they laugh at you so people get
annoyed you don't have WhatsApp already
but says any I know hala anyways I'm
just saying that the idea is that it's
not just that it exists but everybody
has it meaning there are no hermits in
the world I don't know did the Amish get
on to this yet? Maybe the Amish. I don't
know if they're if they're doing it.
They don't electricity. So, they're
really still keeping to that.
Incredible. Huh?
>> They cheat in the bathroom. You're
allowed to have electricity. Anyways, so
so that's what I'm saying. It comes out
that we are living in a global network,
what we call a global village, that
everybody is able to get to anyone else
with a few pushes of a button. And it
doesn't take very much to be in touch
with anyone. Not only that, we are
slowly but surely getting to the next
stage where I don't even have to push
buttons. We're slowly becoming to a
global brain that we're integrated by to
rain. All we have to have is some neuron
connections. Correct? I just think about
it and I'm able to have a connection
with other people of all of humanity.
All of humanity can be in touch just by
thinking and I will be able to go ahead
and chip my bit that is in my head where
everybody's nodes become unified with a
global network itself. We will all be
considered one thing meaning there is no
diversity in the world. We are a single
unified sensitive being. We are one
being that has no separation or
disparacy amongst each other. So far so
good. Yeah, very much. the third from a
Frankle that said such a thing and that
idea is an incredible one because it's
very true and this in essence and I'll
explain a little bit more is what the
partimar meaning it was once upon a time
that you had a sphere
everything was separate you in and it
couldn't handle the or but once they're
able to connect with each other they
stand alone but they're still connected
from a distance you have and you have
those little lines in between them I
didn't bring the paper today I forgot
bring it. But you have a nice central
type of framework. Everyone is
individual,
but they're all interconnected. You have
one big personality. They integrate
everything into one big personality. You
understand? It looks disparit and
different. Everything looks segregated.
Everything looks far away. But we're all
connected. So the world is coming to
Msiah. You follow this is the tikquin.
The way the tikquin works is that yes
that things might be separate and by
ourselves I can't handle the or it's
called
the breaking the utensils. By ourselves
we can't handle it but together we can
handle it. And that's really the
situation of the world that stands in
front of us. Everyone understood what
I'm saying? Yes.
Amen.
>> We work together. There is no distance
far but close you understand it's a
tremendous kadoo it's beautiful that
can't be tampered with or is there a
going through with it
>> it's always the son of hashem we spoke
about
>> is it a mechanical setup that this is
just going to work
>> yeah as it is
>> it's like the whole world there's idea
of we spoke about thee and that is that
theem is happening automatically and
it's going to happen it's on the process
we still have free choice cuz we decide
what piece I am in this puzzle of these
of these connections. Some are positive,
some are negative. Everyone's has their
own thing. But it happens automatically
and it's going to happen. It has to
happen. That's one day Mashia comes as
we all know. There's there's there's
going to happen on the time that it's
supposed to happen. It's going to
happen. I we have free choice. 100% we
have free choice. We decide you know
like in an atom you could be the
positive, you could be the negative. You
want to be the neutral, be the neutral.
You're going to decide. But it's
definitely there
>> when we curl our ass,
>> right?
>> We are utilizing our free will as a
part.
>> Mhm.
[clears throat] That's right. And it
affects the part which affect us in
turn. Right. We utilize our free will in
order to do that. [clears throat] Now
I'm a little bit going to try to answer
your part of the question you asked. And
that is with this idea, we get a little
bit more of an image of what a parts is.
And listen to this, okay? Because the
idea of a part in general like we're
describing is taking individuals and
focusing into one and that is really
something that we see in this world very
much. You could look at everything
separate as its own thing or you could
see it as part of a whole meaning it's
in your mind Allah to make a decision.
Do you see something individualist as
dispersed as its elf or do you see it
part of a big hole? Okay. Now, follow me
what I'm about to say. Okay.
When you have an eyeball, you have an
eye. An eye. Okay. Eyelops. You have an
eye. Okay. Now, you can look at an eye
and you could see it in two
perspectives. I could see an eye as part
of my whole face. That's part of my own
face. And I see part of the face. One
aspect of a face are your eyes. That's
definitely one. Or you could look at the
eyes and see them as an individual
entity. I just see the eyes. I just see
the eyes and I focus on the eyes and I
don't see anything more than that. You
understand? I could see it as part of
its background together with the whole
background of what it's about. Or I can
just look at the eyes as an its own
individual thing as a briad as its own.
It's it own. You understand? Do you look
at it or do you look at the sum of its
parts or do you look at it as a whole?
Okay, that's one way. Keep going. I'm
not going to stop. Watch this. But now
you look at the eyeball and you go,
okay, now I see the eye. Now what do you
see that I see it is in its own thing.
No, no, no. One second. Maybe not. Maybe
the eye is the big picture. And really
an eyeball is made up of a cordia and a
retina, an optic nerve. It has a lens.
And if you ask an eye doctor, he's going
to tell you there's over a million parts
to this eyeball. Did you know there's
over a million to an eyeball? It's an
incredible incredible thing. So it it
has muscles. There's a tremendous amount
of parts to an eyeball. Endless amount.
This little cute little eyeball has a
tremendous amount. So I can look at an
eye and see it as its own thing or as a
sum of its parts or I can look at the
individual parts of the eye now. Now I
can look at as like I said a lens, a
retina. I could see it pissy piecy in
little pieces for what it is. Oh wow,
that's interesting. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
don't stop. Why are you stopping? I can
now look at the retina and I could see
it as its own individual thing. Oh, this
retina is its own thing. Or I could look
at it, it's the breakdown of the retina,
which is made up of millions of nerves
and the muscles that push it and all the
different aspects that come. Obviously,
the more you learn medicine, the more
you appreciate everything I'm saying
right now, right? You could see how much
it breaks down into more and more
pieces. It doesn't end. And now you can
break up more. What?
>> Rods and the cells.
>> The rods and codes. Rods and codes.
Which is what makes able to see colors
inside your things. You're able to see
colors from rods and cones. Yeah.
>> There's no end to them. There's millions
and millions of them. That has no end.
You look at the optic nerve and incred
everything. So you look at the whole
face and the eyes individual. Oh, you
look in the eye. You look at that. It's
broken into little pieces. You look in
the retina, it's broken up into little
pieces. I look into the nerves. Inside
the nerves, you have many atoms or
whatever. I don't know what else is
going on there. Molecules are happening.
It doesn't end. It goes to it goes to no
end. I can look at the book. See this
nice book. Very nice book. Do I see
there's a book or do I see this page? I
see a page. I can look at the page as
part of the book. Or I can look at the
page as its own thing. Why are you
stopping over there? But in the page
itself, it's made up of millions or
trillions of molecules. And it look
molecules but it's made up of millions
to trillions of atoms within the
molecules are made up of nano and even
in the atoms are made up of subatomic
atoms right they can go to nano atoms
right
[laughter]
>> electro electro potions for sure yeah
that one right you can get to break it
down into many different pieces and
that's uh that's an incredible thing
that's really what's happening with the
partim you could see spher individually
or you see it as part of a bigger
picture of the whole face part surface
from face meaning I see it as a of the
big picture I don't see them disparit I
could see a sphere but I see it as part
of a bigger hole I see it as part of a
bigger picture and therefore I'm able to
get a better appreciation
for where the sphere is or what it's
about it's a new bria meaning when he
was by itself an eyeball by itself is
different than an eyeball that's part of
a face and when you put that eyeball on
one person and that eyeball in another
person it gives is over a different
personality. You understand? It's a
different personality. You can see it in
a holy whole different type of of way.
That really is the idea of the partim.
And therefore, we'll find and this is
the hard part a little bit to understand
that a part
all the parts have the same 10 but they
have different personalities. If it
comes from atic which is the highest or
or nukva which is the lowest it's a
totally different personality because
nukeva is down in this world it's always
changing dynamic every time you do an
action it's going in one direction a
different direction or something like
that as opposed to anic which is in the
higher world the 13
over there is when we speak we speak to
the highest parts of it's up in the
highest worlds and we're able to affect
it in a different way a very good mushel
to this is if you say you have good
parents. I ask you, do you have good
parents? I had great parents. Were they
the meat of definitely the meat of they
were very good. Can you describe the of
your great parents? Well, when I was a
good boy, so my father would go out and
play ball with me or let's be better,
he'll go ahead and slip me a $20 bill,
right? My father liked me. He would give
me a $20 bill. He would give me a little
bit of cash to do. Very nice. So that so
he's saying means a $20 bill, right?
means you can go ahead and play B and
play ball a little bit with your mother.
That's what it is.
That's the of which is one of the five
five parts of free by the way. That's
the aba. If I say, "Oh, your mother was
good." She was great also. So, she also
gave you $20. No, she never gave me a
penny. So, what'd you do? She hugged me
all the time. She gave me kisses. She
loved me. She always told me how much
I'm a great how much I'm I'm the king of
the universe and I'm better than
everybody else and this and that and
that that. That's not like your father.
No, he gave me physical. He never he
never My father never one time
complimented me. He never gave me never
he just gave me the body. That's what he
is your mother. Oh, so who is they're
both? It's just different planes,
different facets of what we call one
comes from aba and one comes from imma,
right? And they're both two parts of
there's five parts of and so one comes
from. So also the when they are
represented the same in or the same one
in or it represents a totally different
idea, totally different. It's it
expresses itself very different. It
takes on a different personality. It has
a different type of personality
depending on which parts of that it is
contained inside of us. Very similar to
what I told you with the organs in your
body. You have a nose, the same nose
could be for two people, but it's
represented by two two different people
in a different way. You see it
different. You understand? And that's
what it means by the parts. You look at
it as an individual, it might look the
same. The sphere of over here and the
sphere of they look the same, but when
you put it on this part or that part,
when you put on this face or that face,
it gives over a different presentation.
And that way you'll be able to
understand in the future of when we
discuss the ideas of the part
understanding more in detail, you'll be
able to understand the concepts even
better. Senator
