the yeshiva.net the mishnah and Rosh Hashanah the beginning of the fourth chapter teaches us Hana that coincides with Shabbos they blue shy from the base they did not Blow shuffle Medina means in the state in the city in the country she says it didn't blow on your shalim they didn't blow anywhere else in our sister all and the gemara says what's the reason for this so the gemara goes through a different uh discussion and then finally Robert says that we're not tired uh it's allowed and this the famous rap explained Xavier what was Xavier that everybody's obligated to blow but not everybody knows how to so we're afraid that somebody may take the show for onshabbas and go to an expert in order to learn how to blow shifer and in the process they may transfer it for Amis four cubits in a public domain as they're carrying the chauffeur and because of this concern their abundant made Xavier that you shouldn't blow shayfron Shabbos so that way this won't happen even with forgetfulness if rosh hashan is the middle of the week I don't mind if he carries the chauffeur if you're allowed for sure obviously the prohibition of caring remains intact and that's the same reason for Lilith why they instituted that you shouldn't Shake Lulu of the first day of sukkas that coincides on Shabbos even though the title says you should shake Lilith and it's the same reason for the Magilla when put him coincides with Shabbos today it can't because of our calendar but in those days when it was based on the testimony of the new moon Purim could be on Shabbos so they didn't read the Magilla why not there's a Mitzvah medivity is that's the fame that's the the basic circus and this sister the question was after everything said and done the bottom line is the blowing chef and Rosh Hashanah is a fundamental aspect of Rosh Hashanah it's coronating Hashem is a king so how does Hashem become coronated so the famous answer is that Shabbos accomplishes what Rosh Hashanah usually accomplishes in other words what's usually accomplished with Kia Schaefer which is arousing the pleasure in kingship is achieved through Shabbos on its own still in the basement they did blow why because in the accomplishment of Schaefer in a rousing pleasure in maluka hashem's pleasure there is a deeper layer and a deeper lay and a deeper lay on what they could do in the base is more even than what shabbas would accomplish anywhere else in the world there's a story I don't know exactly the first source of it it's a story I saw that um this is if he said it then or he said it to that what's uh he used the humorous language he said what's usually accomplished through through it's achieved through eating kugel said so why do we Blow shuffle every year so Monessen Google that's what we do he says Doctor that's what's done when your son is on shoppers that's what's done just eating cookies but but that but that's the nakoda here in this 1989 the last Shabbos of the Deb asks a question it's not just Rosh Hashanah is about hashem's coronation it's about who coronates it's that the human being coronates that's where the shashanah is on Friday the Friday of creation the sixth day not the day the world was created because it's Adams the day not when creation happened but the day of them emerged in existence and it's what he did how he brought everything together he brings the Oneness and the harmony into existence he's the one who coordinates and the similarly everyday included All Souls and everything has a part of the nisham of Adam was in then simply all of us are our inheritors our ears to the genes biologically and spiritually as well epigenetics begins with Adam and Java that's what whatever happened to Adam and have it didn't just affect them it affected everybody because we we come from their genes when they ate from the tree basically they consumed the plant of self-consciousness that's related it it redefined our genes it redefined Humanity the same is true when you talk about Rosh Hashanah what Adam did the first moment of where the first day of creation that hap that's the idea of every relationship that whole component is missing it may happen through Shabbos and this came the whole explanation of last year that no no just a different type of of it not blowing Schaefer is an avoider it's not passive we sit on the couch we don't blow Shaffer we eat Coco not blowing Schaefers and avoid in a way not blowing is much more powerful than blowing so to blow or not to blow that is the question and the answer is on Shabbos it's not that it diminishes the Rosh Hashanah on the contrary Shabbos increases it increases it to the point that the then is not through blowing but through not blowing and the main point was that there's two levels of Bittle the idea of Schaefer is Bittle the idea of shabbos's Bittle as explained and there's two states of bit one is a state of Bittle where there's an act of Bittle an act of alignment which is in itself a very very powerful experience the person defining themselves as an avid Hashem and the idea of avid like we learned from that that kind of Rabbi what the evidence what the servant acquires the master acquires because the servant is so to speak an extension of the master but this is an avoid of Bittle what's it mean it's an avoid of battle it's an avoida it's work that a person ought to align themselves with their Source align themselves with reality that's the Aveda of Bittle to become an event to become an avid then he said there's something even deeper and that is that the Oneness is so profound that there's no separate reality that's even experienced to say that your buck that you buckle the fact that we're saying Bittle already means is no Bittle why because real Bittle real honest does not Bittle there's nothing outside of the reality of Oneness as it says as he said the example when a person is standing in front of the king it's not I'm surrendering there's a moment where you're like there's no tension there's no confrontation there's no uh split there's no dichotomy that has to be undone and as he says even the word Mercedes nephesh can also have a limitation even though what's greater than Messina Snapfish means there's a soul that you're surrendering I'm surrendering my soul there's something even deeper you don't call it Mr snafish because there's no soul that you're surrendering that you're dedicating complete one complete Oneness and he said this is the difference between the names of the soul and the essence of the soul the name of the Soul even the highest name is but that's only a name it creates Unity it's it's objective is to make Unity to be me in other words there is a mysterious as a reality and you're trying to strip it from a superficial veneer and align it with truth at the core of the Soul what's the what's what's the reality at the core of the Soul it doesn't even have the name of it's Bittle bataclus it's complete Oneness all right is this the difference between for blowing The Cypher is an act of his battles was such an act of his battles it's an act of Coronation it's an act of Declaration we're your people at the volcano you're a king that's what that's what the sadigan says Kia Schaefer is the coronation of the king like other Malaysia who said this reality this identity and then the person comes and blows Schaefer and and introduces the reality of Bittle was the reality of Bittle alignment to be fully aligned in a person's life what does that mean in every person's life it's the choice I spoke last time you know this is not you can't just jump into it we have to you have to understand the process because if not you can't bypass the parts of yourself if you bypass it then it's not going to be real it's going to come back to haunt you little it has to be an integrated and accumulative you know the person has to know who they are and then they can make choices when I don't know who I am I can't make a choice I'm just Guided by unconscious instincts and forces and then things come out in in a more destructive way because like passive aggressive you know when somebody says I'm not angry you know I'm not I'm not I never get angry never never happened in my life it just leaks it comes out through the leak it comes out so how does it come out it comes out then in Lethal ways the person doesn't even know about it to have a choice the more I can identify an emotion even a negative emotion the more I can choose what path I'm going to take in terms of thought words and actions right repression if I repress everything so then I can't make a choice because what am I making a choice between what and what I'm not acknowledging even that there's two roads if there's two roads if there's one Highway there's nowhere to make a choice right if you got to get to Manhattan you're going through the George Washington Bridge you don't have another five highways so the moment there's nothing else but this highway there's no choice this is it and if really there's something else going on in my life so now it controls me instead of I'm controlling it but when I could see yeah I'm feeling this this is what's coming up this is a part of me that's unevolved or a part of me that still needs healing whatever help or a part of me that's hurt or wounded okay now I could make a choice which Highway am I gonna take or in terms of Neuroscience which neural Pathways you know am I going to choose what will be the trajectory for the next hour for the next 20 minutes so Bittle it's not just a little word battle yourself comes with a lot of self-awareness there's no self-awareness the Bittle could be very superficial and very fake and very inauthentic a bit the list that the self is in a state of alignment for this I have to have some awareness of the self it's intimacy diocese there's a there's a self-awareness there's a connection with self and then you could make choices right the choice in the second one is before yeah to open ourselves up to that right yeah the choice in the second level is opening myself up to that to that Rhythm to that song to that availability you are right when there's nobody serious there's nobody sees so he says no blowing Surfers are higher Bittle blowing chaifer is an act of Bittle but when a person is not just movatel himself he's bottled by etsam there's no Matthias so then ah the Russian is within him so it's not saying he should blow chauffeur and declare let's coordinate the king and let's align ourselves with the King and let's surrender to the king let's become one with the King there's nothing outside of it you completely won good question it's not only the person is in a different state also the act in front of the king even sign language is considered treason the gemara says sign language even though you don't say a word that was a Roman Emperor he killed somebody because of sign language okay so the Roman dictators were dictators and tyrants but he's bringing out the naked mother that in real malachos even sign language is a compromise in other words in real intimacy yeah well once I'm going to have a text [Laughter] continue right and for good reason why what's wrong I'll check my phone at a meeting you're not going to check your phone when he's standing in front of the malach even a tenure which in other times is not only appropriate but that's how we live we do things we move we make gestures but there's there's a state with that gesture is called why not because you're bad but because in such a state there's there's there's complete alignment there's complete Oneness so he says the pool of clear Schaefer the Paul of Bittle is like it's like it's like it's making signs blobbing chauffeur is like making signs and there's no Matthias outside of the Mellow like the person is in is in a state of awe of Oneness so this is also coronation there's also avoida but the avoid is not through blowing to avoid this through not block and not just not blowing the inability even to blow because of the Beatles that's the summation of what we learned it's it's a deep Indian so in this last year Monday I explained it more so whoever once could review it there was because there's a lot of more details but that was gonna now let's go fight no never right here we see that Bittle is not all or nothing we just spoke about two states but in each state there's so many different levels one state of bittel is basically an act of Bittle in other words there's something to overcome I'm stripping it from the layers of ego or separateness and creating alignment that's one act of Bittle and then there is a state of Bittle with the Bittle is so profound that there's nothing even the word Bittle is wrong the word Bittle means you're movato something about why do you have to be a Movado this Oneness All or Nothing yeah the ego likes to say It's All or Nothing the ego loves saying it's all or nothing you know what I mean it keeps you stuck in self-consciousness either you real or you're fake that the ego loves that you'll see the next step is you go to sleep or you eat unhealthy food whenever it's all or nothing either you go to sleep or you eat unhealthy food you get into a fight with somebody because it's All or Nothing it's not all or nothing one small step for man is a giant step for God one is a process the other one is the word gold but even the word goal right it's a state it's just a state of Oneness yeah it's a state of Oneness there's no self that's separate that I need to work with and be Movado why are you nullifying what are you nullifying the fact when you say nullify the self oh that's a readiness the Mercedes nephesh beautiful but on this level for sure huh it's page 707 says What's the diff What makes the difference between these two one day I wake up like this and one day I wake up like this it's not it has to do with two different stages in the revelation of Oneness say something very powerful it's not could you just skip from one to two you have to respect and always have integrity with personness it depends it all depends what Gili of el Acosta is what does this means it has to do with the interpretation of reality what is real when we get so philosophical so early in the morning what is reality what is reality right that's it's not as that's a complicated question everything any reality we talk about everybody understands this is a table right on one level it's a table it's amazing I'm not lying when I say it's a tip but everybody understands if you have a microscope you see a different layer of the table if you look at the table from its molecular structure it's a whole different reality and if you take a look if you could see every atom that makes it up right the whole idea that this is solid it it it it assumes so much more significance and the same is true deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper everything is relative it's not like your first name is right you're right you're right the way my eye detects reality this is real by Ms and it's not a mistake this is the world God created our eyes and our brains interpret reality this is the realm but we have to be sensitive to the fact that there's other layers and if our eyes were microscopic we would see a different world the same is true in a person himself who am I judging myself looking at myself with the prism with the lenses with the glasses of the brain that I have presently so this is how I Define myself if I'm given other antennas to be able to to to to pass through and to transcend certain barriers within my brain I would be able to see much deeper layers of the self that's a person's own Journey people's Journeys to parts of themselves that they never even knew existed both positive and challenging toxic ones you see a Darkness you never knew existed and you see a light you never knew existed not that it wasn't there before just in my awareness the eyes that were functioning I didn't have that ability to detect this level of reality because of the blockages that blocked certain reality and some of these blockages are essential for survival write your typhus we speak about this Allah generally speaking generally he says these are the two things there's the way Divine energy hashem's light comes to it's enclosed in the world to create it and give it existence what it's saying is I want reality I'm creating reality I'm creating reality reality has Credence this is the way the Divine energy is condensed and filtered to assume a veneer of finiteness so there's a beer and there's a lion there's stars in this galaxies there's a human being and there's a tree and everything is unique and everything has its own individual chemistry based on the energy that is condensed in order to be able to create it and make it exist what is Bittle on that level Bittle on that level is an act of Bittle in other words aligning the outer with the inner connecting connecting the physical or the spiritual reality with its Divine source with its Divine Oneness that's the first level when a deeper level of elucus comes out he says the infinite light that's not condensed within the finite when that emerges what is the definition of reality pure Infinity let's say it would not be a symptom let's say there would not be viratius what would there could be a whole world the world was there before but what does it look like it's pure Infinity that's its interpretation it's just a manifestation of infinity because the light was condensed and filtered and limited therefore there's a new interpretation for reality it has a name it has an identity here the avoid is Bittle but when they Bleak wool when the infinity comes out there's no avoids so when a person himself or herself there's two states there's a state in which I'm living in the vision of reality in which there is separateness in which there is finiteness and here Bittle means to choose alignment over separation to choose Oneness over fragmentation and then there's another place where you were never separate you are Infinity you are inside you you get you get a vision of that existence nothing there's nothing to be movable there's nothing separate after metal in my mind there was something separate after you understand what he's saying the difference is foreign what does that mean he rested he wasn't so exhausted to have to go on vacation the idea is as follows weekdays represents the Act of Creation what is creation foreign what happened by creation he created the letters of Heaven and the letters of Earth not heaven and earth he didn't have to create everything is in this part is in God Heaven and Earth too the letters of heaven will be the letters of Heaven the ability to describe heaven as an entity and the ability to experience Heaven and Earth as an entity in other words he allowed Infinity to be condensed in a prism to allow infinite light and the electromagnetic field to be able to go through frequencies that would be able to be detected through finite tools and defined as finite realities and now my job as the human being is to be the conductor of the symphony and say this is a symphony this is not random mutations this is not a mistake this is a symphony this is all a manifestation of divine Oneness that's what Bittle means not to separate not to make period to bring it back together that's the weekdays Shabbos he rest wasn't mean he rests doesn't mean he rests when a person rests you go back to yourself right you reclaim your characters what does that mean spiritually Hashem reclaim he he Define that energy so to speak that was condensed comes back to the source so what does it look like now infinite so what happens to the world the fish is not the same fish on Shabbos the sky is not the same sky on shoppers the person is not the same person on Trump's what do you mean you are no no now you're infinite that's Shabbos Alias the world are Elvis when the world's elevated now obviously the more refined one's eyes are and what antennas are the more they experience that but that's what it means Shabbos the world goes back to which means it goes back to its source it goes out of Isis from Deborah it becomes makshava Hashem doesn't speak the world he thinks the world what's it in his speech and thought when you speak the words come out of you they're concretized what does that mean spiritually God speaks the world it means that the energy can be seen as something outside I could talk about a heaven I could talk about a nurse I can talk about me I can talk about you on shoppers all the doors of perception are cleansed the energy is reclaimed by the source so everything appears as is pure Infinity ah that's the reality of Shabbos that's the reality of Shabbos that's the the energy of Shabbos obviously based on a person's refinement they'll feel they'll feel more they'll experience more there's an expression in Italian brings it because I'll had a difficulty only with difficulty that they allow people to say divided on Shabbos imagine the whole industry by your Shabbos table is something that they didn't want you should speak and then why you should speak he says what are you supposed to do against the Shabbos he says that's what he writes they realized and so fine so at least speak division is concretizing things silence silence you don't concretize things you allow things to be in their original form words need sentences word needs structure that's the beauty of talking and that's the curse of talking what's the beauty of talking you say wow this was a speech this is an article it defined it beautifully but it's all about definition sentences words paragraphs chapters books that's what a beautiful book is that's what God's book I started my mother is the will look at his speech it's a beautiful speech how the DNA works the double helix the chromosomes the cells the atoms the molecules gavaldic it's a beautiful speech but it's also a problem speech wise everything is defined everything is defined and Adam is an atom and a molec is a molecule and I'm I and you're you so now this that's the weakness Shabbos Shabbos it's the same world the world is not destroyed on Shabbos when you speak about aim sofa doesn't mean there's no world when we speak about the second level of Bittle it means what's the definition the definition is that it's an expression of infinity it's an expression of Oneness so when I when when all the layers get Stripped Away and you could see reality in its original Source what is the whole world the world doesn't need Bittle the world doesn't need Bittle it's nothing outside of infinity there's a Matthias which is the highest so it's not miss which means I have a nephesh I have an ego I have an identity and I'm giving it away that's not the ultimate Vision the ultimate vision is you're not giving anything away there was no there was no there was no separate it's based on the idea that you were separate they have to give away you have to come back you weren't lost to be returned when that state comes out there was no separation the first Beatles are only 100 for the Second Battle only a preparation you're right it's a state you're right it's a state of Bittle you're not my battle yourself you're right you're right you're not Movado yourself you're bottled by Adam you're right it could look passive it seems passive that's why we don't blow Surfer not blowing Surfer is not passive it's much deeper than blowing Schiffer silence communicates much more than words but like they say just because if you know what you're silent about yeah very good yeah just because you know they they say right A wise person is quiet doesn't mean every person who's quiet is wise sometimes a person is quiet it's quiet not blowing chauffeur doesn't necessarily mean there's Bittle the not blowing Schaefer which is that's that's the savoid so there's a Sean in the middle of the week the revealed state of Bittle is to the elacus that's by Eric to the world what's it mean by Eric to the world the way of the course is condensed to become the source and the battery and the engine of the universe so you have to so you coordinate Hashem on this world you say this world does not have cavelt not it's not it's not it's not a place of Anarchy it's not a place of meaninglessness there's a king melach Island let's coronate him that's what the Schaefer is in a person's life what does that mean it means your magalashems in the world your magala the true Oneness let's not underestimate the first level of bit where there's no world not because there's no world because it's it's all part of being safe so what's the Bittle the Biddle is not through an action the middle is is an inner state of of letting go letting the reality emerge the way it is yeah yeah yeah so the coronation and what's accessed is is also a much deeper level which now brings us to the big question Zion um foreign but according to what we explained they're not blowing Schaefer is a deeper state of reality a deeper state of Bittle if this is the case so there's nobody to blow it's not from why they blowing there there's nobody to blow it if this is the state of Bittle there's nobody right Bittle means there's somebody being movato themselves there's no self there's nobody being a battle so who's blowing the fact that you're blowing means there's a much seats I am blowing chauffeur that's the state of coronation so it comes out that the base is much lower than everywhere else you could say that that's explanation is as follows and here we come to the next stage after the second level of Bittle to something even deeper third level not really a level but the third Indian s I'm not a translator even negating reality means you're still stuck in that reality and that's why you need to negate it whenever you negate something it means you're defined by it somewhat even though you're not being defined by it the fact that you have to say an experience you're not being defined by it means that there is a deep connection machine can be Indian somebody once told me that his son said to him [Music] he was telling the sun you have to think out of the box he says no no no no no no no there's no box I don't want to think out of the box there's no box Thinking Out of the Box there's a box and I'm gonna think out of the box so I'm I'm defined by the Box I'm fighting the Box is something that's not shy of to mitzias if it's not safe together to the realm of Matthias so it doesn't negate mercius an expression similar this idea is somebody says this idea this sheer this this branch of wisdom is so deep it's exalted and deep they say really how deep is it how deep is it I can't reach it with my hands he said something very good he said I can't reach it with my hands even when I get down my hands don't reach it it's too deep something fell and something fell into a sister and you try something fell down a hall and you're you're bending down and your hands can't reach it because it fell down so low or it's way up there right the ball went to the roof and your hands can't reach it so that's what he's saying is so exalted or so deep I can't touch it with my hands I can't so you it's laughable why is it laughable what's what's wrong he didn't say he could touch it if he said he could touch it with his hands I understand why it's laughable you don't touch wisdom with your hands but he didn't say he could he says it's so deep that he can't Dr episode is still laughable why is it laughable because the negation of it means that you don't understand what it is a physical touch relates to something physical that you can grasp with your hands so this I can touch this I can't touch fire I can't touch why it's going to hurt me it's very cold water it's too cold for me it's too hot for me it's too high it's too low so I can't reach it I can't touch it it's too sticky whatever it is it's in your name this is very tall this is a tall building so I can't touch the top of it this is deep down under the Earth so I can't reach it but it's all in Yemen that mishus relates to so either in the positive or in the negative when you say is very deep that I can't touch it with my hands it's laughable because the whole definition doesn't apply it's not that Realm even a superficial it's not something that fits into that realm so that remember is saying like this when you're negating something it means they're in the same box they're in the same Realm they're in the same gather and therefore you say this I can touch this I can't touch some things you need a different vocabulary here's the issue now we now it becomes this we all understand we could understand this you say it's it's something somebody will say you know I have dark secrets I have dark secrets in my in my in myself oh I'll bring a flashlight no no no the light of your flashlight when you're stronger flashlight I'm laughing why am I laughing what's wrong with God you got a flashlight you said it's dark one sense from the BL Khan that uh City in Latvia crown jewels of the Jewish people the love of the ashkenazim was foreign was much more what's the word robust they were both so there was once an argument and sure you know how Jews argue that is who's bigger than a conservative this one was saying how do you compare that a kachova was a different League a different realm a different game there's nothing because greater sabriel said there was a little kid there and he was laughing he was laughing so he didn't know so this turned them was locks though he said two hours you idiots you mistrate them are arguing that is aggressive this is elevation foreign they told him no we don't mean we don't mean bigger physically we mean big large bigger in a different way we spiritually intellectually he says Nah now you're doing with me now yeah you said gracious this way that way that way this darkness in your soul here's a flashlight there hey your phone has a light let's put on the light no it's not strong enough okay let's light a big fire we'll bring headlights of a truck what's the problem the problem is it's not the lights are not strong enough the whole Indian you you need a different vocabulary you don't touch rahma with hands and you don't see Secrets through a flashlight you need a different frequency of light and it's not even the light that we call light in other words the physical light that comes from the sun is not going to help with dark secrets it's a different type of light it's called love it's called empathy it's called understanding it's a different level now let's go much deeper than this what this everybody understands because that's how the world functions on the highest levels of reality if you're negating something if you're saying it's not it's it's not this and through this you can't have it you're already brought it down to that by saying this light is not strong enough for this it means it's in the realm and therefore you're saying it's not strong enough is something physical but it's too deep I can't reach it whenever you negate something from something else it means you reduced it to that realm the question is if it's too distant if it's too far so he says like this when you talk about Bittle and you say there's no matseus to be Movado that's not the second level of bittel you're still stuck you know how I know you're stuck because you're negating you're negating reality you're negating Matthias you tell me there's no soul to do Mercedes Snapfish there's no self to be Movado that means you're in the realm you're in the realm you're in that Realm so that's a ready a definition when Oneness is negating the reality that's outside of Oneness you're already describing Oneness that's in the realm of Matthias and therefore you have to say no to it he'll explain more games together foreign it's pretty clear though it's pretty clear it's it's very deep but it's pretty clear even the second level of bitterly says you say in front of the king you can't pick up your hands you can't blow chaifer you're in awe you lose yourself you melt there's no there's no I'm being movato myself it's like sometimes you come in front of a certain reality and you're huh you're awestruck you're mesmerized that's what he said the second level of mittal there's no tension anymore you just you're like not there you dissolve your ego dissolved death of ego death of ego he says the fact that the ego needs to die means that it's something I'm going to use the word that's threatened by ego it's something that's defined by no ego so therefore we say that no self can be present because this negates every self the fact that you have to say that it negates something means that it's still subtly subtly subtly defined by it even though you're saying it negates it it transcends it the self has no place there the fact that you say you know what this is this is a place where the self has no place if that's its definition it already means it's a more limited definition if that's how you're defining it you're defining it this is a that I can't touch with my hands it means you you you're not dealing with the real when we go out of Matthias completely you know the all the language of Bittle that we're talking about he says is still the language of Matthias it's still the language of separateness the question is how is it that I'm separate and I'm working on it is it that my separateness dissolves but it's dissolving when there is true Oneness with the true true source he says then when you're not in the realm of matseus not even negating Matthias not even negating with Sears so then if the malach wants there should be an action so then you don't even you don't even tarry for a moment and you do it what happened with Bittle it's not a student it's not acidity Bittle why is it not a student because you're not even thinking about negating your Matthias even that is not part of the makshava there's only the malach so this is an expression says so there was a certain Almighty he said when I come to Maiden I bow down on my own you're a conduit it's not even feeling that I'm doing it on my own so it's just like this as long as we're in the realm of Matthias what do we mean Matthias some type of reality outside of pure Infinity so then you can't do Kia Schaefer because any action even the action of Bittle is a contradiction to real Bittle to real Bittle woman's ears and therefore you need passivity but in a place that's completely Beyond any medicine over there you don't have to negate matsis over there you could be fully fully present in any space including in the space of action and it's not a typical why is that aesthetical because you don't have you could not blow but blowing is not a contradiction to not blowing because it's not a Bittle in which you're negating reality it's completely beyond the season let me ask you a question could Hashem below [Laughter] blossom in the basement I'm glowing sorry for I'm not blowing chauffeur I'm not blowing chauffeur is already connected to I'm blowing chauffeur I'm not blowing chauffeur that's not me there's no me right the darkness is so deep that the flashlight can't reach it there's no me I'm so beyond with Sears that me doesn't work there you're ready you're ready in a place of negation in real one is you could be fully presented you see they didn't reach that you go on a Mountaintop you meditate 60 years you dissolve in silence silence no ego the words no ego means you're still you're attached to an ego the moment I said you know when you tell somebody you're friends with I'm not friends with them what's that mean I'm not friends with them there's something there's a tension I'm not that cannot friend but there's attention right you would think we're friends you're putting me into that category I'm negating it so he says even the second level of Bethel where you're not busy negating the world you're not negating the world because the self is lost but how how is the Bittle defined there's no person there's no nephesh that's always the find how can it be this Oneness so that means that you can experience it only through Transcendence of self Transcendence of self it says that's still matsius that's defined by negating Matthias this has to do with the fact that we're still busy defining God and this we have to understand now this this will clarify it we spoke about weekdays we spoke about Shabbos and now we speak about the base of mixtures when you speak about Hashem and reality we could speak about it from the perspective of kalalman and Atmos they're all true they're all true based on where you are in reality you don't bypass but one has to be sensitive to that there's a world a reality in which there's Matthias there's some form of ego or at least potential for ego there you need better you need to avoid the hospital strip the ego and align it with the source ego is easing god out in other words Hashem condenses himself to create something called me I exist my body exists it has a function has a chemistry my brain has self-consciousness that's real that's real it's called the Shabbos what Shabbos Shabbos is Transcendence now you can't work you're not a lot of work why in the infinite in the presence of the king silence silence death of ego death of ego ego death what was this Gala what was this gala's the ain't safe of reality the insuffer of reality there's no separateness and there's no self to nullify how do we how do we talk about silver we always say the same thing it's beyond the world it's infinite what's infinite mean it's not finite it's Limitless what does Limitless mean it's not limited that's a problem so what should I do you're right I shouldn't do anything Limitless is a problem why it's again back to negation is so deep the reality is so deep that limits can't grasp it really no you you you're you're in the realm of limit we're still thinking about it in terms of the realm of limit but it's Unlimited it's unlimited we're still using this we're stuck in that vocabulary so that vocabulary you have Bittle that's gevaldic that's what he's going to say the Indians is this is a another revelation of illicus Beyond The Gather of Matthias Matthias means reality existence not even negating matsius just like you negate positive definition you also negate negative definition the rambam says we can't define God in positive terms he's not finite to Define him that way so how do we Define him through saying you're not this you're not this you're not this say he's not not a I can't say a positive term that's called negate any affirmative definition so we think oh now we got it it's not this so he says you have to go to the next steps you have to also negate negation because when you say he's not this it's also a definition it's it's a much more exalted definition but you're still defining it by saying it's not defined by this so I'm defining it it's much more abstract but the moment you say I say I'm not defined by this it's because there's some form of connection even if it's a very subtle connection when you're really really not defined by it you don't say you're not defined by it let's put it even in a very simple psychological language when you have to avoid certain places it's because those places are threatening right certain people I can't be everything why because it triggers me I'm I'm limited I'm defined by it so I have to stay away I have to stay away in order to be safe I'm staying away but why am I staying away I'm staying away because somehow you you define me if you're really really really in a free state you don't have to stay away you don't have to negate it negating means that there's some connection so the fact that the schlila of your Hashem from mitzias which is true he's ain't Sophie he's not Matthias Matthias means defined reality he's a non-existential state of existence the fact that you say is a non-existential state of existence that epic says that's already uh that's a product of creation it's creation talking about Infinity it's we describing Bittle when we describe Bittle we say silence passivity you dissolve of course you dissolve how could you be there he says in in in real reality of course you could be there why can't you be there why why did you decide that you're a contradiction foreign it's not a bit though that has to negate any activity any action any involvement any presence of the human faculties when there's complete complete one is oneus is a mitzvah that's what Hashem wants so it's not I'm blowing chauffeur it's like my eye is a conduit for the Divine blowing of the chaifa it's like means you're he's doing Maiden on his own he says and it's not even that he feels like oh I'm now in a place of Shakara the definition there is no contradiction in that place there's no contradiction so everything can be present nothing has to be amputated you don't have to say oh but see is no sorry sorry no man says that's when ain't that's when God is infinite Infinity is a definition it's an amazing definition what's its definition it's not finite there's no ego not find it so there's the first level of Bittle is we're in a world of finiteness Hashem conceals himself he condenses himself he creates reality he creates Isis so Bittle over there is alignment connection you always have to choose connection over Detachment I can detach from my spouse I can detach from my kids I can detach from my soul I can detach from the world I can detach from God Bittle means don't run away not bad not bad we could stop here it's also good avoid if you master that avoid this gun is good it's a choice of Kia Schaefer to say we're in a relationship I'm not going to be afraid I'm not going to go into isolation the world has Oneness that's the first there's a second madrego of Bittle you don't have to do an active bit why there's nothing to be Movado why because in the Shabbos the covision of reality there is not Simpson no symptoms ain't safe so why are you being movatelim it says it means you're struggling with them it says the Matthias is gone it dissolves like when you're in front of the malach you're not busy being without you so if you're just lost in the process you are lost there's no you there's not even an efforts to be my sick because there's no never there's no separateness that's the greatest thing and that's expressed in not blowing Schaefer you're not doing an act of Bittle because you're not here to you're not even here to do an act of Bittle so to speak and you don't even do an act it's pure silence it's Vegas so the question is in the basement make this why are they blowing so it says this is a deeper in bitter and that is it's not even called Bittle it could be matures too Bittle means no mercyus nothing outside of infinity why not why not you say because just Oneness so there's Oneness that negates separateness that Oneness is not the true Oneness it's a double negation two negatives huh two negative what yeah yeah two negatives make a positive it's not not yeah yeah there's you there's not you and then there's not not you so let's go back to you but it's a different you it's a different you there's you that's blowing Surfer there's not you really not you not that I'm trying to be not it's not you to be or to be not to be or not to be to be or to be not there's being not but that's being not trying too hard you try too hard to be not so there's you then there's not you that Shabbos Shabbos is the silence why not because there's no coronation it's a whole deeper state of Coronation of Bittle batsm not you was not not you even the not you is a limited I'm using the word limited because I don't have other words because I'm trying to talk but I I don't mean limited but it's already a a form of definition even if it's the most abstract and Transcendent definition you know the problem with save of kalaman is that you put in the words almond it transcends the world what transcend the world you hear what he says the problem fills the world it's limited it's defined by the word it transcends the world excuse me why do you have to say that why'd you have to say that so he says that means you're still stuck in your world and you're busy you're busy saying it's transcendent this is above the death of the ego not you no because that that's the paradigm exactly that's the highest definition I'm in the world of almond from the world of almond I'm saying do something it's not the worlds it's God is not the world he's not finite he's infinite and therefore the whole world is infinite that's very very beautiful it's amazing we shouldn't think that you know we're minimizing here madriguez this is the death of ego it's pretty good huh in infinite infinite not finite and the reason is the best words are words of those are the best words for carrot here they could be individuality here they could be individuality you could blow you could be could God be individual so you must be an individual this is two levels in gula the first the first level is also Google the second level is where we realize our Infinity I'm infinite my ego is it's nothing it's it doesn't even exist you don't need it to exist it doesn't exist and then there's something even deeper and that's the fusion of everything everything could come back the you could come fully back the moment it's not not you so what is it it could be you too you're a conduit for the ultimate truth and if Hashem wants you should blow blog it's a day take your hands and take your mouth and take your brain and blow I'm not afraid of your brain we don't have to negate say who would have to negate anything but this is post Bittle this is this is posed not freebital you're typhus take a look at the last paragraph on 708. he rested from his work he abstained he negated his work he went up back to Infinity this means it's a madrege that's somehow connected to the realm of Islam even attilis it's called it's the Bittle of he himself is he there's nobody outside of him the word anode what does it mean there's nobody outside of him you hear again there's nobody outside of him what what are you saying you're defining Hashem and you're saying it's pure Oneness what does it mean Oneness there's nothing else those words seem like the best words he says no it's defined by there's nothing else so who's really defining him everybody else you understand it's a vocabulary of separateness I want to describe what age Movado means what do I say there's nobody outside of him so how did I describe him through it through nobody through through eliminating everybody else in other words everybody else described them without everybody else I Can't Describe Hashem this is stuck you're still stuck you're busy negating everybody else now you've done it's very subtle this because foreign but in life it has tremendous ramifications because this means in the ultimate ultimate in the code of actors there's nothing that can't join along nothing has to be avoided he says is the expression that's everywhere in Kabbalah ain't safe the best expression in the world what's better ain't safe infinite it's a diff it's a description that negates safe so soft it means to some relatability to the realm of Scythe of space of time I know it's beyond space and Beyond time when I say beyond space and Beyond what am I doing time and space I'm defining You by saying you're beyond space and time there's something called Beyond being beyond space and time and then you could be in space and in time to you're beyond being beyond space and time are our definitions of Infinity come from tensions though they still come from tension so even our definition of Bittle as the death of ego the death of anything is coming from the fact that the ego is trying to liberate itself from ego it's still holding on the infinity is still holding on to something even death of ego it's a very necessary step because you're not going to get to the third step without the second step because if I jump to the third step without the second step then I'm just exactly and I'm circumventing I'm circumventing my fear of letting go of my Brokenness just like I can't get to the Second Step without working through the first step because it's not going to be real you have different parts of yourself so everything has its very very important place in life yes but in that third space there's no contradiction the vehicles doesn't have to look like the vacas Vegas doesn't mean I have closed eyes I'm a state of transcendental Bliss vacas could be very grounded in fact I take a shower and I block that's right it doesn't look it doesn't have to look like Vegas doesn't have to look like aloofness you do what you have to do exactly you do what you have to do it it becomes very simple said the is right the Simplicity of the simple Jew churches the Simplicity of the essence he was saying the simplest thing but he was also saying the deepest thing but what made it so deep is that it was very simple that what we're learning here is that the deepest deepest deepest things are the most simple things it's very simple Hashem wants you to do it so do it why are you making it so come why are you making it so complicated like you know when you come to the top of the mountain you go back to the to the Simplicity why are you making it so complicated he said you should blow surfaceable it's a blow siphon no I'm blowing you're not bloating he said you should Blow shuffle you're blowing don't ask questions to give answers you created an ego you created self-consciousness now you're busy fighting self-consciousness now you're busy killing self-consciousness now you're celebrating the death of self-consciousness self-conscious has never existed they have to celebrate the death of self-consciousness we're not afraid of you you were never separate that we're afraid of you being separate so you have to die in order to become one you're good there's no description not even a description to negate the scription that's the point bittel the second level of bittel is blissful but its definition is that it negates description it negates any form of of of separateness because there's Oneness so of course I don't blow you're just like in a state of of of Silence magnet says ASAP it's like oh very good so he's gonna say let's see very good good question all the mylum is uh Beyond ain't safe Beyond Angela Beyond Movado La milagami gather the Milo Mata you see what he just didn't bring this he's saying Above This the moment he said above this we're back to the stock that's why he said I'm just using La my look I'm saying higher than ain't so no it's not all you're they named Scythe because the moment you say higher than ain't say what are you saying it's not stuck by ain't safe back the square so you see what is although my limits I remember one that ever said this he said and then he corrected himself I don't mean as the next level I'm not talking about that I mean the Milam is a beyond the definition of higher and lower there's no Next Level you know why because why is there a next level the low level is not low you don't have to run away from anything you understand it's a place where my land Mata are not typhus Market is the pure essence of Hashem that's beyond description Beyond realm Julie Etc it negates the positive but then it also negates the fact that you have to negate the positive it negates the positive and then it negates the negative the fact that I have to negate the positive and say you're not this that itself has to be negated foreign remember two negatives is a positive so everything could be there but it's not there because it's defined as something separate it's there because there's there's no definition that you have to hold on to not even Oneness Transcendence aloofness Sublimity infinity unlimitedness and all the beautiful words we always use in our classes Mandel devices do so it is what it it's basically it is what it is it is what it is cigar is sometimes only a cigar complete revelation of asmus there's no self-consciousness that's a threat that I have to be busy negating it finiteness is not a threat limitations definitions so it all it all comes together that's why we always that's that's the struggle [Laughter] his father's son it's the elimination of trauma no no he's saying that till you get to that point you're in a place of trauma you're traumatized by by you're traumatized by by finiteness he's saying that itself is not enough you're right but over here the eye is not an issue because the eye is just a conduit it's a manifestation that's what he says Hashem says a Mitzvah to blow see Blues so to speak manifested through the human because you're completely the attacker one when we say here one it's not like we said one before one we said one is that you you you you you left you left your identity and you became one so of course there's no identity so why how could you blow chauffeur the whole it has to be an experience of of awe of reverence and that Shabbos that's why Shabbos is a special day there's no debord there's no Malacca you're abstaining from something and that's what makes you a Kaylee or or it puts you in that experience yeah what are you making me issues what what's the issues the deepest vacas could sometimes look like the exact opposite of the Vegas because there's no friction whatsoever there's not even the friction of ego but this can only happen after the Bittle of the second level because if not I wasn't ready to let go I was still stuck and then I'm just reducing Infinity to my own stuff that's not we're not talking about that so it's a process it's it's not just like we don't say every year don't blow no evolution of blow not always Shabbos on Sunday you're not supposed to behave like a Shabbos right the good morning now we used to say it he never didn't like the words it is ago you keep Shabbos it runs contrary to his reality high of Misa doesn't mean our pictures we're gonna kill you how you've missed it means you're forfeiting your lifeline you're killing yourself kind of Miss is just bezden is just gonna play it out like this you cut yourself off from your heels you cut yourself off there's certain things you do boom it runs against your reality I'm not gonna eat for nine the commercials right you make a shua you're not going to sleep for for three days straight so what does it say Malkin noise you give a malkus and goes send them straight to bed [Laughter] why are you not doing anything go work it's not good not to work doesn't doesn't help people not to work go work you can understand it always experience but and then there is the greatest it's the greatest coronation the greatest coronation is the coronation that says [Applause] it's one what does it mean why am I saying mamish we don't realize we don't have a vocabulary without negation this is one of the foundations of linguistics we don't realize this we cannot have language when we don't negate every word make sense because it negates something else there's no other we don't have language that doesn't negate a little bit you understand the more that and you know what you want to know something what's called better definitions is that it negates more accurately it's with Precision it's meticulous but it's all about negation so when we talk about God it's of course about negation even sophisticated conversation about action the most sophisticated conversation about reality spirituality Transcendence It's Always In terms in language of physics today quantum mechanics how do they talk about it always in negation of previous science of of other definitions they'll say it goes clockwise and counterclockwise simultaneously just an example what are you saying the limitations of space of time don't exist that's that's how we talk that's the only way we can talk because that's how we can grab onto it we grab onto it by saying oh it's not this okay oh so it's not this so now I know who you are no you don't know who I am a little bit I know who you are you're not him there's a song right there the only thing we know about Johnny is that his name wasn't Johnny [Laughter] the only thing I know about you is that I don't know I don't know you okay but that also I know you if I don't know you I know something about you and then there's maybe I do know you maybe I could know you why can't I know you the Melech here is not above he's not detached he's not uh yeah it's so one you don't even know you don't have to negate the opposite of Oneness you don't have to negate the opposite of Oneness you negate the opposite of Oneness if it's not completely one it's not completely one right so you negate the opposite of Oneness because there's a there's a friction there but he says in in the real agnos with Hashem Beyond mathseus so your Matthias is not a contradiction in the real actors with Hashem who's completely beyond what seas even Beyond negation of Matthias your mitzias is not any contradiction it's completely integrated the vehicles doesn't have to look like anything I don't mind if you do you could be present you can have your eyes open you could smile you could tell me good morning and you could blow shy for him we're good that's complete Fusion real fusion there's a story about Donald right that the night of kolnidre he was in liajna the night of community was the middle of davening the talus and the kittel in the middle of davony he took off his Talus he took off his Kittle and he left show they later found out that at the edge of town there was a woman who gave birth she was a Kimpton she had a baby and the whole family went to davenium keep it but he wants to be back so she was alone and she was not doing well she was sick she was hungry and starving and the baby was starving didn't have milk so stories that alterable went and he trapped Woods on Yom Kippur and he made a fire and he ignited the fire and he cooked up a soup and he fed her and she could feed the baby and then he went back to school the whole family was gone when he did it foreign why they left I don't know they left family comes back so the devil once told over the story the laboratory wants all of the story and he said what's the power It's A din Pikachu which is a Mitzvah that the greatest person should do it so people shouldn't think you sent children you send people because then next time there won't be a child and the person be Godly one himself so he says the pillow of the mice is there was no WhatsApp there was no hot salad he felt that this woman needs soup in place of the Vegas right a place of Vegas the death of ego if you explain that would he have a standard but that's all when that vacas has a name it's called Vegas when it doesn't have a name it doesn't you do what you have to do and that's place of Oneness with Atmos there's a there's a there's a woman who needs soup her child needs milk and she's cold she needs a fire so go and light the fire let's finish two paragraphs here well the Milam is uh and again he doesn't like the word lamella me gather Milo Mata the word lamile is already good morning she said Heaven can't continue Heaven of Heaven can't continue but this house this house will contain you but he was also saying this house will continue so here we have the Mayim is the first level of bittel is the second level of Bittle foreign samayam is heaven you look up to heaven so I needed I should strip myself from my Indulgence with ego and Ascend that's Bittle is the heaven of Heaven it's legabe the Infinity of inside what we call Saif over there there's no Bittle why because there's nobody is it's bottle and then there's a in this house which is a very limited house has measurements the makamar and everything had measurements it's very finite and here he says foreign because he's negated from negation as well not not even not is not appropriate Allah he wants to he wants a world he wanted to be a king over the world I want you the Olympics and he wanted that the coronation should be through an action of blowing Schaefer precisely that negating that the negation of that isn't an experience where Matthias is a stitta to hire them at Sears matthias's identity reality existence so when one experiences that there's no much yes but that's because you're experiencing when you go to see us so you can go back to them it says you can go back to a very final Take A Schaefer and coronate and do what you have to do I I'm doing it over here it's not I'm doing it anymore I'm a pure conduit this is even deeper than Bittle you don't need bitlamencies bitlamathie is you need because Matthias uncovered the truth that truth is higher than let's see yourself oh my God I didn't realize boo you let go but when you're when you negate the negation of Messias you can go back to Mercedes so that's the hiddish of the best not enough for you see if you're out page seven eleven seven eleven now the secret goes into the difference of Mitzvah there's the way Schaefer is in as a Mitzvah the way is intruder um the main thing with the base was Toyota the idea of mitzvous is basically Hashem says I want you to do the idea of terrorists his desire and the person is a conduit for his desire so that's what he's my husband then his mother sovereign but a syphilian olive is a very important conclusion there's an important thing this is very very crucial um some people learn these things it's pure philosophy he said it's not the way it's supposed to be even when you learn about such lofty things the main thing is what's the relevance to a person's life it says even when you're learning such lofty ideas and then he says really it's not a law of the idea you understand because the moment you say it's Aloft the idea it's he's not even an Indian Island don't call it an Indian Island it's really very lofty but he says that's that's not the right word it's not lofty because when you say lofty what does lofty mean it's on the loft it's the ego saying get out of the ego go up law it's lofty it's exalted it's big he said it's not big maybe it's it's small too it doesn't have to be big big means I'm not small I'm a big guy I'm not small so it means I'm defined by smallness Nyla is defined by not Nyla right the Upper Floor is not the lower floor but this is not the Upper Floor because it's not defined by not being low so therefore could be low too but he says if in everything entirely we say the main thing is action certainly if you're talking about the deepest of the deep and you can't even call it deep for sure it needs to cancellate into a person's life so the question is where does this have relevances one of the lessons of this in a person's life is a person ought to try to cultivate and again he says every person differently because this is not something you just impose every person has to find it according to their own sheer their own measurement their own who they are saying of a person should be without means without the feeling his omezius the the self-consciousness of it if it's not I'm learning I'm doing it your soul kneels like it's happening on its own without the self-consciousness without momences if I change your boyfriend but also not even till the point it's also not negating but serious like I'm not self-conscious accumulation it's because you push it one um a vivid example you see in Sedaka Mitzvah clawless which is a general French foreign there's a taker can a person give sadak in a way that it shouldn't be felt that I'm giving and you're taking it's almost like the duck is being done on its own there's a Mitzvah of sadaka and the mitzvah's duck is happening I happen to be the conduit through which it's happening but there's no sense of separateness why does he use this example because this is where it becomes the most important right it's a duck in money or it's a duck in other forms the greatest form of help you can give somebody is when this true true sense that you're not the taker and I'm not to give I'm the I'm The Giver even if I'm a nice guy and I'm a gentle guy and I'm a sensitive guy But ultimately it's it's difficult it's difficult for the recipient but when the person can really go into a place it's like when they blow into the basement Hashem is blowing the mitzvahut stuck it needs to be accomplished in the world this is the place it happens to be I'm the right person in the right place nothing to do with me not nothing to do with me because I'm busy with me not me that those are not it's not ego and it's not not ego shlilous ego is also ego he says the point is also generally in Thailand when a person goes into a place where I become a complete conduit for Hashem for the Mitzvah should be done the Mitzvah should be done says that's a truly liberated place the Jew and Hashem is one Mitzvahs happened through me that's what happened through me that's where it becomes a very real thing in a person's life so there's absolutely no ego on me busy with myself or I'm not busy with myself or I'm frustrated with myself frustrated with myself is right there you know I'm frustrated myself so what am I reaching I'm reaching a place that's not busy with self even if I could reach it which is also not so simple maybe you need some help but what what did I get so I I got out I got out of the self the real place is enough to get out of the self you saw the whole self is selfless the self is selfless and the selfless is the self because selfless means not self oh not good you don't have to be not self selfless is not self it could be self also because when you go to a place beyond self and selflessness you don't have to be selfless it could be the self too that is the self the self is a conduit for Hashem is not even me doing the midst of DACA that's the feeling okay everybody have a wonderful day to you your families your loved ones to be a year in which we should be able to experience and internalize Bittle number one Bittle number two Bittle number three which is really not Bittle not even the word Bittle and to be able to radiate it to ourselves and everybody around us and to the whole world for everybody with naka's health happiness prosperity this class is brought to
