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