okay welcome back continuing our weekly
study of a mimer which mimer we're
learning M MIM M Robin
means many Waters many Waters okay and
we explained that going back to the AL
theim the many Waters were interpreted
as the
tiosa means the mental
preoccupation the anxiety
connected to making a living okay
so the verse says and the verse is
originally from what book where where is
it from in scripture shasham very good
song of songs by Solomon it says that
the many Waters cannot extinguish the
love okay I I understand now what the
many waters are what is the love which
love oh that's a little high Advanced
answer okay let's start basic who's love
for whom our love for Hashem our love
for Hashem and the M the worries about
making a living aren't going to
extinguish that even though you might
think that they would okay now as we
explain why don't the waters extinguish
the love because go Ahad now you can say
your thing we have that intrinsic love
intrinsic love innate love very good so
even though the waters are coming
inundating and they're going to wash
away the love and the love is like fire
so you would think the water would wash
away extinguish that's the word in
English extinguish very good you would
think it would extinguish the fire but
it doesn't and then remember last week
we
gave a couple of
metaphors the Kohl's was the first one
very good I feel so good it feels like
we actually learned something yes okay
so why is the coal a metaphor for
intrinsic or innate love because it's
dormant and then when you fan it great
very
good but it really is right it looks
like it's not there there you could it's
I mean sometimes there's flame coming
out of the coal but sometimes it you
can't tell that it's hot that's why you
be careful don't just grab those coals
um yeah and then you fan it and then you
see oh it's there's fire in there okay
um somebody left a a nasty comment on
YouTube saying you know you understand
nothing about
thermodynamics so I yeah he got really
mad he was like indignant about it so
I'm not saying that there's an actual
flame inside the coal I actually don't
know how flame works all I'm saying is
if I take this coffee mug and I start
Fanning it uh flame isn't going to LEAP
out of it but if I take a coal that
might not look like it's on fire and I
start Fanning it all of a sudden flame
comes out I'm not saying the flame was
there maybe even that's more point of
the metaphor the flame wasn't there and
yet just by Fanning it all of a sudden a
flame comes out so don't tell me I I
know nothing about thermodynamics I know
very little about
thermodynamics and what was the other
metaphor
Flint what's the Flint
metaphor strike it you have to strike
the Flint stone and then the spark comes
out right and why was that like a whole
other level of
dormancy first of all have to do an
action you have to do more of an action
right
but here's the thing the more dormant it
is the more intrinsic it also
is the coal if you take the coal and you
put it in a bucket of water and you pull
it out you're not going to be able to
get it to you're not going to get the
flame out of it anymore you take a
Flintstone and you put it in a bucket of
water or for that matter you submerge it
at the bottom of the ocean for a year
for a hundred years and you pull it out
and you strike it with steel and a spark
will pop out so the more dormant it is
also the more deeply rooted it is
and both of those are
metaphors for the love the intrinsic
love that our soul has for Hashem that
even under conditions that would make it
appear outwardly that we've lost that
connection it's always
there and it just needs something to
trigger it or to activate it it's always
there okay and just so you don't forget
we spoke a little bit last week about
tuu and tikun remember that part let's
do that part quickly we said you might
think in fact it would be very logical
on a cabalistic level to think that the
the Abundant Waters would extinguish the
love because the waters are from what
source from to yeah from to which is a
higher level of creation that was
unsustainable and it shattered the
shattering of the vessels right and the
soul is only from tikon which is the
normal order of creation um and then we
said but surprise the soul actually is
from
higher from the ultimate source from the
ultimate source which is part of yeah it
is the essence the essence of the
infinite yeah very good okay and because
of its higher source its highest Source
its ultimate source um even the waters
that come from T cannot put it out okay
that's what we did last week all right
now we are on
chapter
four very good first week we did
chapters one and two last week we did we
did chapter three now we're on chapter
four chap I think six it's not a long
mimer should we check real quick how
many chapters
total it's a short mimer
shortish um six six chapters yeah
okay all
right so chapter
4 I lost my place here I got it again
V
[Music]
behold not only does the water not put
out the Soul's love of God but rather
even more meaning an even more novel
Point
emerges
that actually through these
Waters it creates Greater Love now
that's a novel
idea it was it was already a novel idea
when we said by the way the waters will
not extinguish the love because the love
is inherent it's built in it can't be
put out now we're saying even more we're
saying you want to know something these
Waters meaning these distractions these
money problems that stress us out and
you would think it's taking us away from
being able to relax and focus on
spirituality it actually it's not a bug
it's a feature it's going to help us to
focus more on our relationship with
Hashem how is that that's crazy how's
that possible
okay and this
is the soul coming down into the
physical
world and being in vested
within the many Waters you understand
what we're describing the
soul existed before embodiment in fact
the soul existed before the physical
world existed now this Soul which had
its spiritual existence is ripped away
from that and it's plunged into
embodiment and he calls it invested
within because it's like stuck in it and
now not only is it stuck in a body but
it's stuck in these situations these
situations of monetary
difficulties so we're describing now the
mechanics of what actually occurs to the
soul when when it's plunged into this
situation through this it ends up
reaching a
level higher than the level it was at
before it descended now I want to ask
you a question you don't have to answer
so precise so it's not it's not don't be
intimidated before the soul came to
embodiment what kind of a level was it
at give me just a simple answer the
highest okay I don't know if it's the
high that's a that's a categorical
statement when you say the highest and
then I'm scared to answer but just give
me a simple
answer lofty lofty okay yeah I would
agree with that certainly loftier than
the physical plane um some type of a
heaven right some type of a spiritual
World um so the soul was doing pretty
well I mean that's its natural habitat
after
all so you know that Soul's natural
habitat is spiritual
worlds so the Soul's hanging out at this
lofty
world and then it gets yanked
down and plunged into a body trapped in
a
body so that's called the Ura that's
called The
Descent and yet what we're saying is
through this
descent the soul actually ends up at a
higher level than it started at but it
started at a high
level following
yes
okay and he says in
Brackets
that is actually the ultimate purpose of
the aforementioned flood
waters
pause everything was created and created
with a
purpose the flood waters were created
for a
purpose it's not incidental to the flood
waters that they precipitate this
phenomenon of actually activating a
deeper more passionate love of Hashem it
is actually the entire purpose for which
they were created if they weren't
creating that they wouldn't even exist
because that's all they exist
for I think that's an important thing to
think about that the money problems it's
not like oh they happen to end up
triggering a deeper love of hem no it's
not it happens to be it's not incidental
it's not secondary this is the entire
purpose that's why Hashem made it toer a
deep love of hasem yes is that syn
with at a higher level and that is
synonymous with the Nish being at a
higher level exactly correct so let's
let's spell it out when we say the Nisha
will end up at a higher level than how
it started One symptom of that I don't
want to say it's one for one exactly the
same concept but One symptom or one
expression of that will be whatever love
the soul had of God in
heaven when the soul comes down into a
body and experiences body problems it's
going to end up with an even higher
level of love than it started
wither
yes
Soul so you you want to
know the rank like if it's started off
at World such and such then when it
finishes his embodiment will it go to
world such and such is that what we're
saying yeah it is but I don't even think
that that should be the focus yes it is
yes it is categorizing love as a measure
of I like how you're saying it love is
are
metric um for I mean after all you talk
about a soul what's a soul like 5'11
brown hair brown eyes like description
on a driver's license that's a soul how
would you describe the attributes of a
soul love of God a of God I mean those
are the attributes of a soul so if I say
a soul has improved I'd be describing
that its love of God has improved its
awe of God has improved that's what
that's what it means for a soul to grow
for a soul to develop means those
attributes have developed that's that's
what a Soul's All About Love of God and
allw of God so if I say the soul is now
on a higher level I don't mean
like he's able to bench press more
weight I mean that he's he accumulated
Mitzvah he accumulated Mitzvah okay and
that would be the effect that the Soul's
having on the world the Mitzvah have a
refining effect on the world
now we're talking about the refining
effect that the embodiment experience
has on the soul there's two things the
soul comes to a body for the sake of an
improvement to the world make the world
a better place but also an improvement
upon its on its own previous
station does improving
Soul as well meaning the soul
what the effect that on the world
um the Mitzvah really are physical
actions and as we've spoken about in
other classes especially in Tanya the
effect or the impact of the Mitzvah is
the refinement that it has on the
physical plane the soul is not a
physical entity get refined from our
life experience after we go back well
life experience yes that but that's
precisely what we're saying is that when
a soul loves God based on everything
that it knows in heaven that's one thing
but when a soul loves God after having
had the embodiment experience that's a
whole new depth of love that's what
we're saying what is that depth how does
that translate that then translate into
more service of God or is that a
separate
thing well how would it translate you
mean how do you cach it in absolutely
while you're still embodied when you
bring out more of your Soul's love of
God you're
translate that into doing more Mitzvah
and doing them with greater motivation
and greater passion could only
happen could it only happen through M
rabim I think there may be other ways
also that it could happen but this is a
big way that it does happen a big way
that we experience spiritual growth is
through material
problems um that that
came of
seemingly Direction okay yeah yeah it's
a great question like the whole need to
have to make a living seemingly is
dysfunctional because I mean we know
explicitly it was I I won't even say
part of the curse that for for Al them
at least that was the curse that he's
going to have to uh toil for a living um
that's
true but
all right let me let me say this very
very
succinctly all of the the the the sin of
the eating of the tree of
knowledge um was like the first debacle
in human history uh there were others
and the others that were even on par
with that such as the golden
calf um or the destruction of the temple
and the sins that led up to the
destruction of the temple so there were
a lot of times where there's human
failure that led to uh um a watershed
crisis in human history the way we view
all of
that is the same as how we view the
crisis of the Soul coming down into a
physical body
meaning if you look at it as a
snapshot it's it's tragic like literally
tragic tragedy is when this noble
character has a fall so when you have
greatness falling that's tragic but if
you look at it as a
process where the fall is actually to
build momentum for the
rebound then it's not a bug it's a
feature so yeah the way it came about
that we even have to make a parosa is
seemingly from a negative occurrence but
even that was all part of the process
okay and by the way if you really want
to trace this all back to the original
problem those of you are in Monday Tanya
will know that the original problem the
original concealment the original
condition of godliness being hidden was
what even
higher remember we spoke about the Tsum
Harish the initial
concealment so it really the new vessels
are
the initial timum when the infinite
created the possibility for a place of
finitude that was the first problem so
to speak because godliness was being
concealed and then it sort of repeated
itself this pattern of different
concealments but when we understand the
whole process of history as a linear
narrative with an end
goal then we understand that each of
these crises were
actually sewing the seeds for for
something
greater yeah this
week okay so the soul coming into the
physical world yeah you're calling it a
yes the but saying that it reaches the
higher level but doesn't it only reach
that higher level after it goes through
by by virtue of any work that it's doing
here so your question is we're saying
the soul comes down into Ura and then
we're saying that through the Ura it has
an Aliyah but
isn't I your main question is is that
automatic or is it if it will use the
opportunity then it will have
yeah an Aaliyah
so um it's it's it's high risk it's very
high risk it could even go the other way
God forbid embodiment is a very
high-risk investment you're taking a
precious Soul a perfect Soul a pristine
Soul you're putting it in a very
dangerous
situation very dangerous we know that
not
everybody
will do well with their embodiment hence
reincarnation you get a chance for a
redo and yet even with the risk Hashem
says we have to go for it because this
is the only way to achieve the ultimate
purpose of the
Soul okay but I want to continue I want
to finish here okay so we're in the
middle of the
brackets the whole purpose of the MIM
was
to evoke the response that it does where
we have to strengthen our ourselves and
end up being more spiritually focused
than we were before it's a challenge to
bring on greater Focus
yeah last
week yeah that's right the whole from
the going down and it's really coming up
yeah that by the way that's probably one
of the most common themes in the you
read I have a question yeah yeah yeah
you just mentioned that the comes down
and then you know the risk involv to
come into the body and then some people
do and some people don't yeah I heard
something said to me foresight is
hindsight
is yeah that a person has yeah foresight
before the situation is there yeah
hindsight that's what it was meant to be
how does that align with the end result
of the choices that a person makes in
this embodiment of Nish yeah when
whether choosing or not choosing
to um create the so I'm assuming you're
not asking on a philosophical level
because then that would derail the
entire class and we'd have to spend the
rest of the entire time trying to
explain a paradox that is ultimately
incomprehensible to a finite mind I'm
assuming you're asking on a practical
level yes okay on a practical
level you got to do your best you got to
say every challenge I don't know the
outcome I don't know I don't know if I
fail or if I succeed but I got to assume
that I'm supposed to succeed and you got
to try your best and that's it and then
success is measured how that it's that's
what was meant you mean after the fact
yes if you learn from it it's
successful if you learn from it it's
successful like honestly I'm not I'm not
trying to be glib I mean if
if growth is not always clearly
linear so in the embodiment experience
there is a lot of stumbling and getting
back up again um not that you should do
that intentionally in fact you're not
allowed to purposely sin in order to do
Chua it won't work out for you but uh
yeah it's uh it's I don't think anybody
intentionally wants to hurt themselves
in their lives no normal person you're
right yeah correct yes yes you're
correct no healthy normal person wants
to mess up their life in order to have a
comeback story nobody's yeah nobody's
trying to do that okay
notmal normal
okay all right
well I think the way ways in which we're
abnormal even
um it it doesn't preclude this survival
Instinct of not trying to purposely mess
up your own
life yeah hopefully okay safe safe
that's why ultimately the the cannot put
out the love why can't they put out the
love ultimately because they weren't
created to put out the love it looks
like they were created to that I'm
looking at these Raging Waters looks
like they were created to put out fire
meaning I'm looking at these Financial
worries it looks like they are pretty
good they're pretty well designed for
distracting you from spirituality and
we're saying no well that's what they
look like they're good at doing but
they're actually good at doing the exact
opposite
they're good at evoking a higher level
of love of
God because the ultimate purpose of
these Waters is to activate a higher
level of love it's a very important
point is that this which you view as a
threat you could generalize this to many
challenges in life something that you
see as scary as a threat as wow look at
this bad thing that's going to cause bad
things to happen to me and really God
created
that not just that oh don't worry it's a
bad thing but it won't hurt you no
actually it's a bad-looking thing that's
going to help
you and all of you are thinking um I
want to think of a particular example on
my life and ask the rabbi in front of
everybody if his general statement
applies to my specific case but you
don't have to do that because the answer
already is yes guys are on the ball okay
let's continue but Rabbi
even yes yes well how good are we at
perceiving our how good are we are
perceiving it our soul of Love well
that's why we're learning to help us
perceive do we know where our soul is
going that's that's why we're learning
is to hopefully get us more in tune with
this
stuff I'm scared I'm having this stress
and I'm gonna not love yeah all the time
I mean this is this is a common this is
a common
complaint a lot of times told him to
learn the one that RAB if I can plug
that yeah sure you can plug my talking
sh when I was going through a lot of
challenges of business my father's
St or whatever I learned that three
times in a row back to back at 1.5 speed
and I really helped me shift mentally
yeah definitely okay all right so we're
gonna learn in order to get us to learn
sh and then we'll just be learning all
day which would be great then we'll
become rich have challenges and how will
we have that's amazing
yeah you know you remind me of for learn
so much that we learned and then we'll
be on a high all day we'll have so much
trust in God well we won't have monetary
problems or won't perceive it as such
and then how will we have more love of
Hashem you know what you remind me of in
Helm they said that everyone was worried
about making a living and it was just
too distracting so they hired a guy to
be the town
Warrior that was his job he should worry
about making a living and uh so they
paid this guy that was his job to worry
and
uh finally they said uh we got to fire
him and they said why he said well he's
got this steady job worrying keeps him
from worrying so we got to fire the guy
okay Dan He worried
okay
now through the soul coming down into a
body what does it EV eventually do it
does what we call Cha we do cha
returning or
reinstatement it is known that before
the souls come down to embodiment they
are
allim now those who learned Tanya with
me you know about sadik R and you know
in sadik alone you have
tadik which
is soad is like the highest level
perfect perfect perfect but let me ask
you a question souls in heaven before
their embodiment they don't have a body
they don't have an animal
soul aren't they all sikim Gam up there
sure yes so think about it like this you
have an entity which is perfectly
righteous and as you've learned in Tanya
perfectly righteous means not just it
does only good it only desires good it
has no desire for anything but being one
with
Hashem that's your soul that's how you
used to be you didn't want anything but
Oneness with God that's all you cared
about for eternity and you were
comfortable more than comfortable it was
Blissful it was
beautiful and then one day that entity
gets a tap on the shoulder says put on
the parachute
jumping you're going to go to an
embodiment experience and you're going
to
lose all of this
incredible um situs your your your pure
pristine love and
awe not so much you're going to lose it
that's not accurate but it's going to be
covered up to a point point where
effectively it may at times feel like
it's
gone and you're going to you're you're
going to look for it and you're not
going to know where to find it it's
there but effectively you're going to
lose access to it because you're getting
bombarded with the with the embodiment
experience
okay so we started off Asik as perfect
perfect righteous
people
but you know something the promotion
that we get by coming down into a body
is we become
Bal we started off Asik perfect
righteous people interesting through the
embodiment experience we get elevated to
a higher level called balicha penitence
true penitence is that why it
says exactly in the place where true
penitence stands even the fully rightous
just cannot stand precisely
precisely so somebody who has been
tested somebody who has been challenged
and overcame that challenge is on a
higher level the person who was never
challenged is overc challenge how do you
define overcoming a challenge I don't
think that there's one definition of
overcoming a challenge in fact I think
that we continue to overcome challenges
on higher and higher levels so I don't
know if there's one definition but um
simple definition is that whatever the
situation is you don't let it stop you
or slow you down from doing what you're
supposed to do that's what it
means
okay so through the embodiment
experience we go from Tad to Bal which
is an upgrade an
upgrade the soul up there can't do cha
there's really no there's no resistance
to overcome in order to become a BAL cha
so it has to come down here for an
embodiment experience to become a b
okay in the place where true penitents
stand that perfectly righteous do not
stand
there and even more than that
they're not able to stand there there's
two different versions of this there's
the language that the gamar uses and
there's the language that the ram uses
so one version is that they don't stand
there it's just a descriptive statement
they don't stand there the other is no
no they can't stand there meaning it's
not possible for
them it's not within their
ability they can't do itad G looks at
the place the spiritual level of ACH and
says I would like to go there he can't
get there you can't get there without
going through what you got to go
through so even the Tad who has this
perfect love and awe of Hashem cannot be
at that level of closeness that's what
we're talking about we're talking about
high levels we're talking about levels
of closeness that level of intensity of
connection of feeling for hasem even the
perfect sadic can't get to the that
level that the person who lost it or
felt that they lost it and got it back
is able to come
to this is indeed the purpose for which
the soul came down to the world why did
why did it come down here to have a corn
beef sandwich because there were no
cornbeef sandwiches in heaven so I had
to come to the physical world for that
experience
guys might agree with you you say it
depends on the sandwich let me taste the
sandwich
first you know the Henny Youngman joke
says this bum came up to me on the
street said how about a dollar for a
sandwich I said I don't know let me see
the
sandwich yeah but not everyone does like
not everyone accomplishes it not
everyone accomplishes it on the first
try yeah that's true come down and
yeah we squander the opportunity we
spoke about that it's a high-risk
investment we spoke about that but you
say they squander it
but we squander it okay so but either
has us the capacity to manage it and to
try to achieve that elevation yeah or
you turn to drugs and alcohol like
that's like I don't get
where doing God took us aren't we it
right now we're learning we're growing
that took us from a situation that was a
perfect situation there was no Challenge
and there was no
risk and therefore no
growth there was up in heaven I'm
talking about the soul in heaven there
was nothing that was going to disturb us
and make us lose our Lov and of God but
there was nothing there that was going
to particularly Inspire any growth we
were
static and Hashem said you know what
let's risk
it you got to
risk to make uh to make
uh to make money make money you got to
you got to invest
it so let's let's take a risk and the
higher risk the higher reward what's the
risk does the soul have a the risk is
that it'll become embodied and it'll
actually take seriously all the
embodiment stuff and get scared of it
and and succumb to it and forget about
God and and waste its embodiment running
running after physical things and being
intimidated by physical things but when
it goes back up when it goes back up
it'll probably get sent back down to try
it again try the embodiment thing again
till you get it right who's making that
choice Soul making that choice the
embodiment of the that's a crazy
question which will be answered in this
mimer it is absurd that you even asked
that why is it absurd to me because it
was surprising to me that that subject
even comes up in this mimer so the fact
that you're asking it
means that you're attuned to what's
happening so that question will be
answered at the very end of this
mimer that's that's crazy that you okay
yes okay put it on the back shelf it'll
be answered at the end of the mimer
okay so this is the purpose where we
came
down
because chva and then he says
parenthetically and by the way to dispel
a common misconception chuva does not
have to involve
evaders CH no it doesn't it cha means
returning to God now obviously if
somebody God forbid transgresses it goes
against God's will that which we call a
sin or an AA then that person will have
to do tshua but you don't have to sin in
order to be poised for doing T
shua you don't have to go that far away
in order to return in other words what
he's saying here is you could never do a
sin your whole life and still be poised
for needing to get
closer so he says the soul came to the
body in order to do
cha because here's the deal you don't
have to sin in order to do CH you could
return from something that's not
dysfunctional but just could be better
and you're returning to
your your intrinsic
Perfection but okay you don't have to
sin in order to need to do cha but you
need to be not in your normal place what
he calls
your the Soul's true place the Soul's
true place like we we learn we learned
in the previous chapter
is is the the infinite essence or the
essence of the infinite so any type of
Separation that the soul has from that
is a cause for
chva so follow this embodiment itself
even if you never sin is a
situation that is a cause for
cha you need to do chva I need to do
chva what did I do what did I do wrong I
didn't say you did anything wrong you
were embodied you were sent far away now
you need to return to your true home and
your true Essence that's called
Chua but the soul if it would remain in
heaven and not be embodied then it can't
do cha because it it's just remaining in
its place yeah it sounds from
superficially like a Christian concept
sounds like a Christian concept how much
do you know about Christianity just
superficially that well they what what
the Christians say you know they got a
lot of their stuff from usn in and they
have to return and I don't
know I think this is actually if you
talking about original sin this is
actually the
opposite we're saying that your original
state your default state is
godliness we're saying something
occurred that took you away from that
and that when you go back to go
godliness that's precisely what it is
you're going back to it so not that you
come from sin and you're trying to get
away from sin you come from perfect
godliness that was threatened or
disrupted and you're trying to
reinstate your your original Godly
connection so it's actually pretty much
the opposite of the Christian doctrine
of original sin but what do I know about
Christianity very little if a had status
when before it came yeah and it comes
through a body yeah and it doesn't use
its potential mhm it's return regardless
of of you know just the mere fact that
it went through the Ura it already
changes its
status okay so without getting into a
whole side conversation it may be argued
that even a soul an embodied soul that
you might think failed its embodiment
Mission you'll look at it and say well
what did he accomplish what did she
accomplish how religious was he or she
and it is possible like what do we know
we know nothing that just by having an
embodiment experience and going through
the trials and tribulations of
that there was a success right some
degree of success success is not binary
it's not either you succeeded or failed
there could be a person you look at and
say well how much did they really
achieve well how much they achieve they
survived embodiment that's M rather
yeah so that's my point is by the way M
Robin starts with just the embodiment
this is what he's saying right like you
don't ever have to bounce a check
insufficient funds to have M Robin just
the fact you're in a body and you have
to think about physical needs is M Robin
yeah for sure the mere fact that the
soul is in an embodiment yes is a
challenge and therefore it's a setup
steps ahead for yeah for for growth
correct where does theil goal of
reincarnation com if if you don't
achieve what you need to achieve but
again it's not binary it's not like you
either achieved or you didn't achieve
there's there's degrees of achievement
so yeah seem like the odds are stacked
against us yes in yeah well that's the
whole point yeah this is high risk also
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah you have a body
you have an animal Soul you have a it's
auta you have a very interesting
distracting world
yeah and then you have people who are
harassing you and yeah
there's it's it's it's very well
engineered it's a very wellth thought
out obstacle course and how come it
seems harder for some Souls than others
the
embod that's a great mystery why is
embodiment harder you're what what I
think you're talking about is sensitive
Souls who are traumatized just by
embodiment
yeah I I mean I've spent a lot of time
thinking about this subject and talking
about it and processing it both publicly
and privately I don't fully understand
it but I do know that there are people
for whom embodiment itself is
traumatic um that just being in a
physical container is a
tsunami why different people have
degrees of
challenges that I can't answer you we
know that it's true and also we know
that Hashem picks those challenges and
does so judiciously and each Soul gets
just the right amount of Challenge and
the right kind of challenge that it
needs for its growth back there
yeah
yes
yeah the greater the challenge the
greater the achievement okay let's let's
let's continue
here sha that then after you go away
from your
Source then you have to go back to your
source and like we said last week that
verse the soul goes back to God who gave
it gave it means put it in a body goes
back means post
embodiment returning to its
source and since the level of the
penitent is higher than than the level
of the perfect person meaning the person
who goes back is greater or goes to a
greater level than the one who never
left and the says here in Brackets in
fact it's categorically greater you know
what categorically greater means it's a
different ballpark it's not like oh how
many times greater is a Bala than
aad doesn't work that way because if
it's 10 times greater 100 times greater
million times greater then it's still
there's a there's a there's a a
comparison but what we're saying is it's
a different track like it's not like how
many times you have to magnify the
status of aad until you equal the status
of aala it doesn't work like that it's a
different track it's a different track
it's a different experience with a
completely different result so it's when
when you go from tadak G which you were
originally before your embodiment and
you become a Bala which you become from
your embodiment it's not you become 10
times greater a million times greater
you become a whole different type of
greatness yeah
right okay so the difference between
them
is that's indeed why we say that the
place of the Bal Chua that g cannot
stand they cannot stand there because
it's it's not like well how many more
steps does the T have to go in order to
get to the level of the Bal it's not how
many more steps it's a different ladder
it's just a different
thing through this cha that happens
which is a novel new thing that only
happens through
embodiment it goes back to a higher
level even than how it
started
which the verse refers to as the level
of God who gave it the soul returns to
the level of God who gave it but it
actually doesn't return to that level it
returns to a higher level because it
jumps down on the trampoline and bounces
up to a higher level than where it
started so now we're understanding a
little bit better the mechanics of this
MIM theim are the challenges of
embodiment and the whole purpose of
embodiment was to take a perfect being
aad being called
aish and how do you improve upon
Perfection not just you you can't do it
by building on the experience that it's
had so far it's not like well let's just
have more experiences in heaven and
you're going
to get to a whole new level it's just
not going to happen the only way for the
Nish to go to a whole new level to go
from to Bala is to go through that you
read through that
descent and then after that descent or I
shouldn't say after because I don't want
you to feel like there something that
only happens after 120 after you finish
your life it's happening now it's
happening
now happens every single time that we
spring back from something that would
have challenged our spiritual connection
and we go through it and we come out
stronger so this is the mechanics of
this radical statement that not only do
the many Waters not put out the fire but
they even create a a more intense fire
and like what if you're okay being
aad so now you're what you're saying
well what if I was okay being a sadic
gar like somebody says you've got a
million dollars you can invest it and
make a trillion dollars or lose it all
you know what I'll stick with the
million dollars that's what you're
saying right okay you're saying the same
thing that you were saying earlier which
was remember I said we're going to
answer by the end of the mimer basically
like the one who's choosing this you're
saying this the same question and it'll
it will be answered by the end of the
mimer okay all right awesome
