Torah Or Moshe Yedaber #1 | We Can Embody Oneness

Everybody has to get to know each other. All right. Okay, we have the good morning everybody. We have the to begin a new today. It's a little funny to go away from [laughter] after the nine [snorts] but as we say at the end of you always come back. Okay. So today we learn a par this week's para it's on page Um 134. Do you mind bringing me ash? One of the blue page 134 the second column. In the Hebrew it's pageion column 4. Zion column 4. Zion column 4 or page 134. How about this? Yesterday you see Ter yesterday. >> No, no. 134. What? >> It's four columns in Gar's B. The way it's called because it's four columns. So it's alf you understand column four. Yeah because there's four columns so it's just an easier way of referencing. Okay. Today's class is dedicated by Freddy and Shimmy Trrowig from Montreal, Canada in honor of the birth laz of their new granddaughter Fagga born to Fi and Goldie Maz. May you and they raise her with all the blessings and thank you very very much for your ongoing partnership. I believe which would be 1806 they usually have in the back. Yeah. So that's why it's put into par because it's on the par of so when the organized he put this m into par. Now just to appreciate the opening of the mimer, let's remember the context. The mimer begins with one of those which opens up the story of matra and the way the ta describes it is after everybody comes to the mountain and there's the communication from mo to hashem and hashem to mosha and the Jewish people to mosh and back to hashem. So the Torah describes how that morning there was very powerful sounds, kyus and lightning and a heavy uh cloud on the mountain and a very powerful sound of the Shaifer, blast of the Shaer and the whole nation trembled from awe and Mosha takes out the entire nation to Hashem and they're all standing below the mountain. And then it says the whole mountain of Sai was ash it was engulfed in smoke because Hashem comes down in a fire on the mountain and the entire uh mountain is trembling. Then the says the blast the sound of the was going stronger and stronger. Moshe speaks and Hashem responds to him with a voice. It's also an interesting word means he will speak. Mosha will speak and responds to him. He answers him with a sound. And then right after that it says Hashem comes down on and he tells Mosha that nobody should uh go onto the mountain and Mosha tells that to everybody and then begins. Hashem begins to speak and he says takes this says it means he responds he answers the voice of what does it mean by that he doesn't whisper that there's a over there so the answer is he means hashem will answer him with the voice But to understand all of this, what does all of this mean? Yeah. Okay. There's no nothing in the that said anything. And what Hashem is answering him when he says something. So you say maybe it doesn't go on say that the first two commandments the Jewish people heard directly from Hashem and the says later says I stand between you between Hashem and you to give over thee. We don't have this concept anywhere that Moshe speaks and then Hashem is saying it after him. In other words, the first two commandments it was directly everybody heard it from Hashem. So it wasn't the other things that Hashem gave over through Hashem told it to me gave it to the Jewish people. here speaks and then after that Hashem speaks answering him almost answering him with his voice what is this what what is it referring to when the is very unclear what what is this I mean all the mafam struggle with this because it's a very difficult p to understand what's the context >> we don't know what was said >> yeah what was said doesn't say like mosha said this and this and then hashem answered suppose mohab it's like a general theme that what was happening mosha was speaking And Hashem was answering to him back in his voice or repeating to him what was said in his voice. So he's saying what what is this exactly? And that's why different commentators all give different perspectives here to understand what this means. Says he's going to speak. The whole story is a story that's written in past tense. Hashem came down on the mountain. Hashem said everything was because it happened and now you're saying what happened here. It's one thing, one part of the story that's not about what happened. It's the future again. It doesn't say he answered him which represents a future tense or at least a present tense will speak can also be like speaking or hashem will answer him. But it's not the only part of the story that's not in the past. Like in the other parts of the story spoken tells a story that on was one of the greatest. He said prepare for him a choice a choice calf to be able to celebrate and said if not for this day the which caused me to be who I am there's many literally many Joe schmos in the street his name is so he says come there's a lot of ys in the market I'm one of says over there because I learned I was elevated. So that's why it's a very special celebration for him because if not for this day many so it's interesting doesn't talk about should have said if not for he speaks about the day he doesn't speak about what happened on the day you could say his was something about the day of ma Which brings us to the question, what is the hol of what happened? What's the question? Hashem gave the Gmorra says observe the whole before it was given even in other words even a mitzvah like which is that if yt is going to continue to shabas let's say yt is Friday Thursday Friday shabas and therefore you can't cook on y for shabas so you have to make an which means you start preparing the food for shabas Right. We put away usually two cooked dishes with a piece of fish, an egg, whatever it is, a piece of meat. That's eight of so observed even that says he kept my observances, my mitzvah, my statues, my Certainly he taught it to taught it to all of them. So besides the quantity maybe more people learned about it but essentially if they had the whole even so what was the of which of course this is connected to the there was something about the day not about because was already there before so something happened by mira but this is a general question what happened by Monday is it just that there's a bigger audience of had a small yeshiva had a small yeshiva and yak had a small yeshiva and now the yeshiva finally expanded to a lot of people there was a fundamental transformation information of so this is al's questions first of what's speaks and responds to him and answers him it's not because the first two hashem says directly you don't need mosha speaking the other ones and the rest of moh speaks to the Jewish people they don't hear it from hashem is not responding right what's the and then the question is why in the future and then the question is why saysuk and emphasis is this day the day which brings us to the big question what's the holy of m when the of was there before is begins we know the holy of mitzvah is it says in it says in z it's brought in that's also learn now that the 248 mitzvah means commandments pikudin in Aramaic 248 organs of the king, limbs of the king. What's the zah trying to say? It's not a mitzvah is hashem and this says which means it comes from kabala. It's not that hashem commanded you to do a mitzvah means it's actually his own presence, right? It's a different idea. A mitzvah is not just there's a constitution. America has a constitution. England has a constitution. It's called a constitutional monarchy and Judaism has a constitutional. So it's a constitution. You create laws to govern a society to govern a country. What the Z is trying to say is that the mitzvah are an intimate expression of Hashem himself. It's the Mal 248 commandments. No, it's 248 organs of the king. It's a manifestation of the king of the presence of the king. Like an organ like a limb different. We have we have 248 limbs. The whole expression is incomprehensible. We say in the he has no body. He has no image of a body. So what's the meaning? It says elsewhere init says all of the mitzvah are means to repair to fix the secret of his name to be to fix to repair to enhance the secret of his name. What does this mean? It means that through one mitzvah he's accessing one name and another mitzvah accesses another name another name of Hashem. So means to be and to uh complete complete the secret of the name because every mitzvah accesses another name the explanation is say and this is the that Hashem has seven names that are known as the seven names that you're not let erase the famous names of Hashem seven names that we don't erase. The brings them al seven names. Those names a person has not let a race why the number seven they represent the extension of Hashem's life force and his flow which creates the midas the seven midas we say every morning it comes to you Hashem is so these are the creation of his mid it's his gdulla his gur his deference so the shame of hashem is the expansion or the transmission his pas's transmission of his energy and flow to create these midas the energy that constitutes these midas this is what the name represents that's why there's seven names seven midas each name represents That's a different mid like we say for example right is known as yeah for example is is so what's because each one is aid and the name is the flow of energy hashem's name is it's his name the flow of energy to his to create that mid and the emphasis they're all represented by a name. They're all defined as a name. Just like a mush would be by a person that the function of a name is for another person. For another person to call you, that's what a name is for. When I'm speaking to myself or a person living themselves, they don't really need that name because you communicate to yourself from within. But from the outside, how can I re get your attention or communicate to you? So I call you and here it's not just name as technically your name yank or ysef or moa but it's also name as you know reputation the name represents how you're known right when people identify you this is the name it represents their experience of you similar to what we learned in the concept of light that's what he says because essentially he's exalted beyond it in other words in pure infinity it's beyond the name the name is The way there is some fisa there's some way of accessing it of defining it of grasping the way it's known to someone else which means already it's custommade it's tailored it's communicable it's that which could be communicable that's why it's called a name so the the all the midas come from shame shivas it's the name of hashem that creates all of the midas because if you're talking about itself it's beyond any description any definition including any midas That's why it's called a name. What's the definition of a name? Definition of name is the way you're known to somebody else. The way you're defined, the way you're called out by somebody else, the way you're experienced by somebody else. So this is the way is already communicated. It says this is in the section called which many say on Friday before put it in the some people say it other times. So over in the introduction to the it's called he says which means he does not consist essentially of any you are you are wise but not with known you have but it's not which means defined known meaning which is known to us is the that's experienced by created beings and it's called and what do we mean by when we use the word definition what'sma is the musk it's the ability to conceive something that's conceivable from the word means something that can be grabed grasp through the realm of intellect just like there's something you can grasp with your hand of physical properties of something with its dimensions. So this is more abstract obviously because we're not you could understand something that's completely abstract and transcendent I actually never even sought but it's so it's the it's the ability to be able to grasp to conceive intellectually to be mascul to understand conceive with our mind something that's relatable to the world of that's called that's the we know about of course there's endless levels in You know, you have the Yeah. And then you have the much lower level of and the spectrum is quite large to say the least. But it's all in the definition of so what's even this definition of is not applicable by the source bye even when you're talking about thought which is lower than is the experience itself is the thinking which is a garment of the soul even it says says in we say it in the of the fast days that my thoughts are not your thoughts. So that's even certainly so why you calling it why you calling it if you're saying it's not it's not the we can ident that name don't confuse me the answer is because it's the source from where all flows and from where all flows so it's not not not connected it's the source in of like we say Many say before they put on the towers I believe right with you is the source of life in your light we shall see light. So with you is found the source of in your light we'll see light. So he tes once there is once there is the light in other words you're transmitting you're communicating this light then then we can see it then we can have an experience called the light of the light of the light of the light of the light of all of this is called like I said before like shape the concept of so once it's communicated as Then then we can experience it. The same is true with kindness. The says this week literally it means he does for 2,000 generations. In order to be you need there's thousands of levels. In other words, filters and restrictions to communicate the divine energy until something called can emerge the way we grasp it. Just like we spoke about it says the says. So in other words, he's teaching not only the world gets built through has to be built in order for the be worldass needs to be constructed. It has to be built. So back to what he began this flow of that there should be is that the energy should be transmitted in a way that it should be communicated in a form of what we can call or any of the other midas. This is what we mean by the names the name of Hashem and it's all from the seven names that you're not let erase. So for example you have this in itself is written in different ways there's something called you may see in this represents shame represents it says all of them what's the and then you have the other ones as well regular is Shindal I told you every shame what what's the but they're all defined as names that's the idea of Hashem's names that's it's names through which I get to know you I get to call you it's in other words the name represents my experience of you you know when you think of somebody you think of it in a name yeah you may not you know mut yeah langam whatever yanlvart and that name is somehow captures his whole essence. Now, does it capture his whole essence? You may know not even 1% of his life. [laughter] Somebody once sang a song. The only thing we knew about him was that we don't know his name. The only thing we knew about him. Even the name we didn't know. But but that we knew that about him. At least you know that. At least you know that you don't know his name. Yeah. >> Huh? There's a different song. Hello, I love you. [laughter] >> Very good. >> Hello, I love you. Now, what's your name? Right. [clears throat] So, what when we say the name of Hashem says you have to understand what it means. The name is the way like we say a name is something that I can call you, somebody else can call you. So it's the way it's relatable to the other person's presence. And it's not just technically as I said I need to call your name because how am I going to get your attention like I can't speak to you from inside right? If I want to go get a coffee I don't have to say Jacobson come go get a coffee. It's an internal experience. The same is true of every person. Yeah, if you have to go to the bathroom or you want to put on a coat, you have to go somewhere. You speak to yourself from within. But if I'm communicating to you, I don't have that mechanism neural links to be able to plant something inside of you and speak from inside. So it's the way the outsider reaches out to you because there there is a connection. So the name is the way you're called by somebody else. But spiritually speaking on a more abstract level, it means the name is the way you are known to the other. The way you are called out by the other, the way you're experienced by the other, whether it's push technically the name or name as in reputation, presence like this person has a name that means how people know them. And we all know how distant that can be from the >> reality. There's a med somewhere that says every person has a few identities. There's uh >> for sure seven. But the Lion over there is a very interesting medish. There's who you are. There's there it says like this. Um >> name you earn >> there's the there's the the name that your parents call you. There's the name that you call yourself and there's the name that God calls you. So thehat is that there is There's who you are and then there's a name that people call you. So there's who you are, there's who you think you are, there's who your parents think you are, and there's who there's who others think you are. [laughter] >> And and who you are, there's who you are. That's who God think. Yeah. That's what means God. Who you are is who God thinks you are. That's who you are. Then there's who you think you are. Who your parents think you are. That's a complicated one, right? who they who they want to think you are, whatever. That's what most parents deal with for the rest of their life. He's da you know he was in my stomach. I know him like I made him like I know who he is like you know don't hijack don't hijack this whole experience and become your own person. That's the str psychological struggle of a lot a lot of parents where you need a lot of ble to surrender and there is who there's who other people think you are [laughter] which is a whole other para and fortunate is the person where all the names can come together who you are and who you think you are and who your parents think you are and who other people but it's not always going to happen but if at least you could make between who you are and who you think you are that's helpful >> don't you think that Huh? Sometimes. Sometimes shame is But sometimes you have to erase names. Some names you have to erase. >> Yeah. Because they're just it's like a debok. It's like uh alien uh alien uh energies you have to let go. >> What if you associate? >> You mean a chameleon or a clown? That's where you do put him. >> [laughter] >> each of them. >> Okay. So then each one is true. Sometimes we can integrate and sometimes in a different position a person t has a different name and that's not a bad thing, right? There's who you are in the office, there's who you are maybe as a CEO and then there's who you are in your own house. It's usually not the same. saying that is >> the integration because if it doesn't really belong to me, I have to let it go. >> Which is the same. You have clippers on the outside, things on the inside, but you have the fruit with the whole thing. >> Yeah. >> It's one fruit. So when you can integrate all of it, it's all parts of the identity. If it's not completely, say, what is it doing here? But it's not it's not always an easy process. But what's the common denominator? Even in a very authentic experience, the name is already the way it's experienced. It could be defined. There's a name shame whether it's Yankl or >> or Yeah. So there's a definition. So it's the way that's what he says only once it goes into a level of where it's transmitted into a and from there come a mida. From there comes the mid then ultimately the way it's experienced by us but it's already the mucker for it nonetheless after the the light of is communicated and is revealed in the seven names. It's not that it's separate. It becomes completely enclosed in the until they become completely one expression in he and his lights are one. He and his are one put it in different words. This is language of the language of the he is the knowledge. He is the knower and he is the known. In other words, it's all becomes one. It's it becomes yours. To say it's yours, Hashem. Ah, you just said it's only a name. That's true. But once the name is communicated, it becomes his. It's called Hashem's name. So, so on one hand it's only but he says it's not in a way that it's separate. You say Hashem creates it's like something outside of him. No, this is when we don't say is it's Hashem. He is called Hashem is called Hashem is called Hashem is called Hashem is called Yeah. So it's the way the is communicating and being manifested in a particular mid but it's the itself it's Hashem himself. Now this flow of energy that the should become enclosed in which there's completely no comparison to him because you are without knowing your is beyond the definition of that we know it. It's a source for it but it's not that and you don't consist of midas. So he says this happens through the arousal from below this revolution this transformation of reality that pure infinity should be communicated into definitions what we call names into midas when himself he completely does not consist of midas this is the arousal from below mitzvah through the mitzvah this is the power of the mitzvah back to what the zy says that every mitzvah is it fixes the name it accesses the name a mitzvah that's connected to is not mitzvah that's what accesses it's generates the flow of into it gives birth to as being divine It gives birth to the flowing into a mitzvah connected to every mitzvah is connected to a different dimension. There's mitzvah of etc. Every mitzvah every mitzvah has a different category. So a mitzvah that's connected to yeah it's not you're doing a nice thing. It's it generates the flow of which is completely beyond any definition and description into you. Do you hear what is saying? This is very big words. It sounds It sounds like uh Yeah. >> So I want to understand somebody says that. So what what are those specific >> the mitzvah connect would be the the the of the learn learning that's so learning yeah learning is yeah a lot The mitzvah is an etc. Mitzvah of [snorts] connected to is gratitude. So all these we spoke about his concept of so this is what it means that his names become communicated but he has a name. What does it mean? has a name you l the mitzvah creates the name it creates the name what does it mean creates the name it creates the identity of because doesn't have that identity you can't define it by identity who makes God not even the word god have identity that's the mitzvah of the person because the person has identity and doesn't give up on >> carry forward >> you can yeah the person is like the interlacing link between the reality That's beyond identity. That's what he's saying. Which is pure. How does my mitzvah have a connection there? We all live in the realm of identity. >> So that is it. The interlacing link so to speak between pure infinity and the world of identity. That's the the human being doing the mitzvah. >> Having a name without someone calling you only the person calling. In fact, most people get their names from other people. [laughter] Very few people give themselves a name, >> right? >> Huh? Atrisis, somebody else gave the name. >> Huh? They weren't listening. Yeah. >> Huh? Yeah. >> So, what are you saying? What >> I'm saying calling the same call you name? >> There's no name. Yeah. >> It's it's not materialized. The name doesn't have substance. It's always another person calling you. >> That makes the name. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's what he says. This is what creates the name. This is what it means. He has a name. Manifesting isma. So the mitzvah of this creates which is the flow of into the realm called and the same is true with other names is this is the meaning what the says that we started the that the mitzvah are called the limbs of the king. What the limbs of the king? You said he doesn't have limbs. What's the relationship between the soul and the body? It's not a relationship of two separate things. You say, "Oh, here's my finger and somewhere my soul is it it becomes completely seamless to the point that you could live in life. We live today in a generation that there's people invested in denying that there's a soul. Why can they do it?" Because the unity is so successful THAT THE BODY ITSELF becomes alive. It's not like the body speaks to you and says I'm dead but there's a soul somewhere. The body the soul does such a good job like you don't need it anymore. Back to our story with the sun, right? You don't need it anymore. You what do you IT'S ALL THE BODY. There's nothing else. It's a joke. It's the body. [laughter] That's how powerful it is. So what's avarim? Avar means that the nephesh becomes completely malubish but not malubish as two separate things like I'm wearing a jacket but everybody knows I'm not my jacket I'm malubish in the jacket but you and the jacket are two separate things let's hope that you don't become your garments when people become their garments it's a tragedy you're wearing a suit that's a nice suit very nice but you're not the suit you're not the watch and you're not the the the the the dress or whatever you're wearing the the outfit but the n the goof it's not that Okay, that becomes the mitus of the goof. The goof is alive. >> Nephesh. Nefes. Neg consciousness. The the the vivifying uh bio uh electrical currents that ultimately vivify and animate the body. It's it's all the nephesh but it becomes completely one. So when the says the mitzvah are in the mala they're the limbs of the king what's so the is manifested it's the flow of his names this is called his names which is in the mitzvah is connected to this to the point that it becomes a mal It's the limbs of the king himself. Who's the itself is? It's not two separate things anymore. That's what he says. They become one. Now we'll understand what's this whole idea of did all the mitzvah is the first man to do my mitzvah. Says in par told us sounds like he had a list of hundreds of mitzvah all these mitzvah that he did the what's the here what that he had he had a secret rule book that now you have to eat matzah I have to put on top he didn't have all of this says this is essentially the whole of au what was theu >> [snorts] >> experienced his role, the role of the human to be able to cause the flow of and its to be enclosed in the attributes of and all the other attributes of a person by becoming a channel a chariot like the limbs to the soul like the body to the soul his particular thing was a channel for love. It says about he kept on traveling. So cababalistically negv the south is midasset because the four directions and mila mat are also the six mid right you have misra and maid and dham and sen so dar is connected to sen is connected to that's why darham is the right when you have mis east so dam is on the right which is the south negv that's yeah then you have misra to ferris you have which You have you have so is the love and then returning spirit generates spirit and accesses spirit. So access when a person surrenders his heart to hashem. Hashem gathers his heart meaning he's imbu he imbuss that heart he becomes present in that heart it's a relationship because he increased kindness in the world he planted the orchard and he called's name he was also extremely humble what are all these things represent that became a channel for divine love him upon The face that you show the water, the water shows back to you. His humility what happened's humility created humility by Hashem. What's humility by Hashem? That he should go into he should go into [laughter] he should go into that's the biggest shiflo. The biggest humility is to take pure infinity and to compress it in definitions. There's no humility as big as that. The the gap between infinity at any form of is infinite. But Abra's humility is channeled that same flow. That's what he says. Hashem that's upon him. The face that he showed he got he got that same face. So because he represented kindness, so there became kindness by Hashem. He represented this by Hashem. He represented humility that made it by Hashem also. He embodied the qualities and the started to mirrored back these qualities. He mirrored to Hashem and that's what Hashem mirrors back. So the first person to really create that link between the and the world. >> He channelled that oneness. Yeah. >> He was channel one. >> He was channel one. Very good. Yeah. The says in Hashem tells the was one of was one he was one but he ultimately he affected the world. You know, it's fascinating. You know, today there's probably two and a half or three and a half billion people who consider themselves ears of Abraham, a person who didn't command a lot of territory or big army or had an empire was one man. He had 300 300 whatever he had. But uh so uh in from I think 1947 or 48 he says [snorts] when came back from his from the he said literally means a was one but look what he did he said is given not there was one man is given he says over is given a was an meaning embodied that was he became a for so what happens now so what he does it's like a mirror the mirror reacts to me the water reacts to me so was so became a humble became humble so he was the first one to make that connection between transcendent infinity which is beyond any description and the world of identity where he lives where humans before the laws of >> Hammurabi. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Interesting. very similar. >> You're saying Hammurabi was influenced by Abramavinu. >> I think so. >> Yeah. Nice. >> Very interesting. >> There's a letter I once saw years ago somebody wrote a letter to the labba. He was a young Jew and he was having a lot of questions and what his main problem was the Hammurabi laws. that Hammurabi laws have a lot of similar laws to Tyra and nobody says they came from heaven and uh so it's like this funny coincidence and it comes from even before Mata right or or that that period so so that's what he gives him a whole very interesting answer to find it a whole explanation how Araminu influenced so many people the miri writes in his introduction I think the pyav is that a rainu and sor managed to uh influence half of civilization. People don't realize the Rambam says went from city to city and he lectured the world didn't have so many people then. So the mir says that half half of humanity was affected by that's that was his impact. That's why he was such a threat theory that was >> hami is mi very good. Yeah. So this is the vart. So what does it do is now communicated becomes a name. He creates the name says wherever you find Hashem's greatness you find his humility. Literally the gam means that any that describes God as being amazing will also tell you that he dwells in the among the low like it says I'm exalted and holy but I dwell among the broken spirit is saying there's something deeper here like he says in many what we call is really what we call godless hashem infinity that's really humility because any definition even the definition So how does that happen? It was humility. He was a he was a channel that mirrored that the went into that space. So this is the whole of mitzvah does one mitzvah another mitzvah another mitzvah following means tuned in to the frequency of the concept of a mitzvah. What's the concept of a mitzvah? to create Hashem's name, the limbs of the king. What do you do mean limbs of the kingdom? The king doesn't have limbs. The whole of a limb is that it channels the soul in a particular form, in a particular format. The soul itself is beyond the body. The soul lives before the body. It lives after the body. But when the soul comes into the body, it assumes the identity of the body. Like we learned in the man of basilani, it works through the chemistry of the eye and it works through the chemistry of the ear and it works through the chemistry of the legs and the chemistry of every single limb and its tissue and its makeup and its composition. The soul functions through that and in an integrated way not in a separate way. On one hand the soul is completely beyond it but then it becomes integrated with the limb. >> Can you say we are the >> Yeah. That mean that mean so the mitzvah becomes the limb of the melik [snorts] and the person facilitates that tuned into that to make so ultimately it's the beginning of restoration of the peace like we learned that from the seven sins the left the earth and then of was the first one to start bringing it down what does it mean to start bringing it down to be able to really create the integration between the human being, the human consciousness and the world consciousness and infinity. So that the rift, the the split, the the torture, the dissonance should be able to start to be healed. And that's the of every mitzvah. Every mitzvah in a different way. So is teaching us what's the point of a mitzvah? What's the of a mitzvah? It's not a mitzvah is there's a law and you do the law. Okay? On a basic level, you could say mitzvah is a command. You do the commandment. The of the mitzvah is to surrender [snorts] to the infinity of life. That's what it is. And every mitzvah does it in a different way. But it's not doing it by escaping reality, by avoiding reality. It's by introducing pure infinity, pure ah into this particular reality. Every mitzvah in a different way. But the mitzvah is basically saying that the shell of the world which eclipses divinity which represents ego and separateness, it cracks that shell. It cracks that egg. It cracks that veneer. And the mitzvah becomes the tool that accesses in this particular dimension of life. And that's what it means. It creates Hashem's name. >> Yeah. >> So we'll see the difference as we're going to get what we'll see the difference. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So now >> huh >> that's a good question. What about mitzvah? Also that mitzvah is staying away from that which will obstruct the flow which is as important. [snorts] It's protecting As important as is to say yes, it's important to say no. >> Which which one? >> Yeah. Alav and interesting the garra says in Shab is the famous story that there was a a non-Jew who wanted to learn the whole Torah standing on one foot. So he came to Shamai and he asked Shami to teach it to him. So it says Shamai apparently he was a contractor he sold buildings whatever he had a he had a stick that was used for construction purposes for measurements of of plots. it's called. So he took the stick and he threw him away. He pushed him. So he came to Hill. Hill was the nice guy, you know. Thank you so much. So Hill said, "No problem. The whole on one foot. What you dislike to be done to you don't do to your friend. That's the whole now go learn it. Everything else is commentary. So now go learn the commentary." commentary could take you a 100 years but but that's you got it. So once was on so he mentioned this in passing very fast he says the first chapter you should greet everybody with a pleasant countenance. So why didn't Shami live up to what he said everybody else to do? It seems so hypocritical. Even if the person is not ready to convert, it's a joke to learn the whole on one foot. So you could tell them you need more time. This is serious. What's this? Yeah, you just said. So the Reb gave a laugh and he said, "No, if Sham says, so we have a responsibility to be shi maybe we should look at Shamon. Maybe we should change our opinion about Shamai." Then he said it was five 10 seconds. It was very hard to because he wasn't talking about it was just talking about all the everybody should take care of the guests. So he just said that so he said he said that Shamai was a whole different said like this that of the is the source for all mitzvah is the source of all and that's why it says in Tanya those are the only two we heard directly from Hashem because they include the And these are the two. It's not one or the other. It's two. One is one is Shamai represented. Hil represented which is the person tells Shamai I want to learn the whole while standing on one foot. So Shami takes and he throws him away. So how do we touch it? Get out of here. The Reb said no. He actually taught him the whole he gave him the first of the first of is that there's going to be things you have to push away is not just he pushed him away. He taught him the whole element of once YOU HAVE THAT NOW you can go to hill and get the love. If you don't have this shama is the one who let him go to hil and do it. If not for shama it would have just been love love love. We know what that looks like. It's not the guy who tells his wife, "I want to marry you. I love you, but I also love every other woman in the world cuz I'm all love." So, no problem. I love you. I love you crazy, but I love everybody. I don't discriminate against women. So, you know what the marriage looks like? Yeah. But much better, right? Somebody says, "I love you, but I hate everybody else." No, you love everybody. But we see that's what you deal with. Yeah. It's called exclusivity. Harat Makodesh is Lee. [laughter] You got to put in the Lee. >> Huh? Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm I'm I'm just giving my own hazard. The Reb didn't give this whole Marshall. He just [snorts] said it as a but this was the Vart. You understand? Shai made him fertile for Hill. If he would have gone to Hill without Shama, he would have been missing 50%. It's like building a house without the foundation. >> It's true. It's true. It's all love. What you dislike to be done to you? Huh? He had a so the foundation >> exactly wasn't say who cares and if with his hands and with another stick. So you'll say well that's what it happened but if that that the fact that that went into the gur means that that's part of the story because sham was trying to tell him something you're not going to build something that's fundamentally stable and consistent if you don't have this element. So that's that that's the answer to your question. It's a hu no pushing away. He was answering. >> He wasn't pushing him away. That's the >> easier to do than >> No, it's it's a big mistake we make because truth is love is the foundation. Without love, if you just have pushing away, you know what it looks like, right? >> Yeah. Because the Shama says that's the whole I mean Hill says that's the whole title. He knows what he's talking about. But but if you want there to be a if you want there to be a you need a guy could be in a gym three hours a day working out he should be the most fit guy in the world. The problem is he comes home and then he eats like a ben. >> So in other words every yes needs a no. If the yes doesn't have a no the yeah it's not going to last. It's not going to work. Every no needs a yes, but every yes is a no. And if I'm if I can't say no, I'm not saying yes. You're committing to something. You're staying away from something that's opposite. So that's the idea. >> Yeah. Yeah. The say that they got along. Even though they had so many, they did not stop marrying each other. It didn't become personal. >> You're saying it was a very good marriage. Yeah. sub. [laughter] Go to hill. Go to hillow. [snorts] >> Go back home to your mother. She'll tell she'll give you supper. No, cuz when you learn the story, it's not a little strange. Shamay was considered he was the the god lad. So even if somebody is so fine, you could tell them it's not for you. What do you have to throw them away? So you learn that you know Sham was a stringer. He was a very angry he was like very very harsh. That's what the Reb was saying like maybe it's time to change the attitude. >> Huh? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Not only that. This is only my hunch. Theb didn't the it came on the spot. It wasn't like part of it. The was of and he said a lot of guests came for. So he asked that everybody in the neighborhood should make sure that everybody of the guests should have what they need to have what to stay and food and drinks and be comfortable cuz a lot of guests came a lot of people you know from other places you know you come to a new place it's hard you don't have you don't have a bed you know so you said and shami says whatever that's what he was talking about so in the middle he with the was and I gave I gave an explanation it took the maybe 5 10 seconds to say that it was like flow he says it could be because he gave him the mitzvah which is and then then you can have hill so it was like mish on it was like on the spot I don't think uh it didn't even seem like it was uh I mean I can't know for sure but that's what it looked like that's what it sounds like I'll call upon So, so what's what's what's the scum of all of this? Arainu was to something. There was something he got. What did he get? He understood that reality is not the reality that we're accustomed to, right? We access reality from a place of finitness. I wake up in the morning, I'm breathing, I'm thirsty, I want to brush my teeth. He says reality has to start from the opposite. Reality starts from the creator not from the creation. If reality starts from the creator, it's pure infinity. There's no definition. There's no description. It's pure an is there any connection? Now, so understood that this is the whole story. The whole story of life is the relationship between the infinite and the finite. That's what it is. That was his understand to experience this is a revolution. You know, we come after a few thousand years. But this moment of experience still >> huh it's still hard for us that this this visceral internal experience by him wasn't a philosophy the internal experience that all of life is what pure ah that's beyond any definition wanted a relationship with what with people who have agency and are mortal and frail and are all defined by definition we live in a world of physicality and definition even our spirituality is defined and by surrendering ing the ego and all of those little physical channels. He becomes a channel for that's what got and what really happens. It's not just in his mind. It happens au is the one who makes God embodied literally that's the word he makes God doesn't have limbs until he meets you. He becomes embodied through the mitzvah through the person. There's no there's no what does it mean is in when is in it means that your is channeling it's different type of love you're not just a wise guy who has you know crack a good joke your is channeling your is channeling it's divine becomes the writes in said this when he came back from his this line is people understood what he was saying. He said and it created a ruckus because it was like no was that's the the miracle that a is channeled and becomes one with definition. Don't take that for granted. That's everything. Huh? >> What? >> What' you say? One. >> Wow. >> Oh, wow. What's your wow? What's What's your wow moment? I just want to hear. [snorts] >> You're not the only one. Yeah. So I say >> guy wrote the guy tells me he doesn't do a move today in life without the AI. So the >> he tells me even his marriage what to answer his wife. You understand what's happening? >> AI said a very interesting >> he's married to AI. That's the priority. He's married to AI. >> That's what they said to you. >> Wow. >> AI is plenty smart. plenty smart >> but he can't experience the fact that he can't experience it. >> He cannot experience it. Doesn't know what it is. >> So what was your wow? You just said wow. I just want to know what triggered the wow. >> You said that the experienced it. >> Yeah. He embodied it. >> It's not just intellectual. It's [clears throat] not philosophy. Of >> course. It's not philosophy. >> It's not philosophy. Yeah. >> In spiritual physics. >> Exactly. >> Right. Even even though these things there was really just energies all experiencing a certain energy. Yeah. >> Right. It means when a of til means a cooked he cooked an omelette >> or whatever he cooked. He made a yogurt. He he prepared his meat. It wasn't stam that au was cooking food. It was a mitzvah. eight of so what does that what does that mean that means there was laser there was an embodiment of that was chneled in that particular realm and that's what it means it's the limb of the king because the limb becomes one with the soul it's not that the limb is separate you're just a limb and just go do your own thing I'll do you a favor and I'll throw you a candy that's not the relation between the soul and the body the soul doesn't come to the body and says remember you're a dead man walking literally, but I'll do you a favor and I'll send you some electricity for 90 years, 100 years, 120 years. That's not what happens. The soul becomes invested in the body. It's all in and it becomes integrated to the point that you can't even distinguish it. And there could be who say there's nothing outside of the body. There's nothing outside of the body. It's just a machine. And all the emotions and all the experiences and consciousness is just a simulation, the matrix. It's just in your imagination. Everything is just the internal mechanism of the machine. You know the you press this and you have this emotion. You press this. So it's all essentially just physical properties that create ideas and consciousness. That's how powerful the soul is. Now that's a joke because consciousness is essentially completely transcendent. And that's why there's always an eye that observes the eye deeper and deeper and deeper. So Aramu is the one who creates that integration. upon him through his humility creates the humility his creates the his so I just I want you to send a depth of agency here right you ask the person asks where is God in my life and the answer is look in the mirror [laughter] you you are the one you are the aip and you're the one who's going to access the into life into reality >> where you're going to look for him that's where it is >> you God, >> huh? depression. So you don't see >> right. >> Yeah. The opposite leads either to narcissism or depression. Yeah. >> But without the practice. >> Interesting. You know, like he trying to get to that level. We've established how important the practice of the physical is >> without the mitzvah. You say >> without the B. Yeah. >> Without the BL only. >> Very good. Mitzvah therefore becomes so important because it represents the integrity. It represents that there's a loyalty. There's a fidelity. There's a It's not infid Yeah. Not infidelity. In other words, there's a fidelity here. There's a commitment not just on my terms, on the other person's terms. Right. That's the integrity. That's what mitzvah lisa represents. It's respect. It's not just love. Love without respect doesn't really last because it doesn't respect the other person. It's really on my terms. >> I love you. I'm amazed. I'm amazed by you. I'm enthralled by you. I'm attracted to you. I'm overwhelmed by you. >> It does just doesn't work. So ultimately, it squashes the other person. And when you become in conflict with me, then it's over. Respect means that even when there's a conflict, so to speak, whatever that level of hopefully it's a small conflict, when there was a there's there's still respect, there's still a relationship. >> There's a relationship there because there's respect. So you may have a different opinion. It's really not my opinion. And I don't see it that way, but there's a respect for you. So, the relationship stands. Yeah. I just got a call from my house. I just want to see cuz my son is home. I just I'm sorry. Give me a second. Yeah, I saw I missed your call. I'm in Shul. I'm giving a share. Yeah. Yes. Soon. Is everything all right? Okay. I'll call you right when I finish. Okay. Oh. Oh, no. We started a little later. Yeah. Okay. Bye. Okay. So, let's learn another few minutes in this paragraph. However, the main flow that of generated was what does it mean by doesn't mean he lived in another world it means it was in higher frequencies it was in higher definitions of reality of course accessed here there should be the revelation of godliness in the world over there by his orchard he called out in the name It says the souls that he and created and he planted the hashem in their heart. But whatever he did down here, you can't even compare to what he did up there. Meaning to the transformation he created in the higher worlds and deeper elements of reality that was completely beyond. In other words, what we think he did here was just a fraction of what Abrau was achieving in the internal chemistry of the universe. When we speak about higher worlds, it doesn't mean if you travel 100 billion light years, you're going to hit and then another 200 billion light years you hit and then you'll hit Brian means higher dimensions of reality, deeper dimensions of reality. All the worlds are here, right? Just like when you take a microscope and you look at a table, you see a different dimension of the table that you couldn't see without the microscope. And then if you have a better microscope, you could see a deeper dimension, right? There's the ability to be able to perceive atoms, molecules, atoms. But today, they know there's something called subatomic particles and subatomic particles. So which is true? They're all true. It's just the instruments that you have to be able to ascertain and decipher reality. It's always based on your instruments. So means higher frequencies of reality, deeper dimensions of existence. >> The deeper you go, you see there's no particle instead of like a piece of scent. It's all energy. >> Yeah. >> The deeper you go, the less mamushes, the less physical substance and then you completely go away from matter and it's all energy. And then if you go deeper deeper, you go to what we call it's all which is the divine energy. today is all even physics. >> So that's the beauty of today's science. >> We see that in modern physics. Yeah. That the the the outer shells fall away. Not that they're not true. They're true because our eyes are true. But it's from a certain perspective with the tools that we have. So he says as much as accomplished in the physical world that we know by influencing people it's not to what he did in meaning the transformation that was created in the spirituality of the universe because lived with this energy you see when we learn the stories in Tanakh we don't understand without the you don't see what these people were inside we see Abra he was a guy you know he fought some wars he gave he had guests the truth Abra was living with energy. Abrau was was there was an internal an internal combustion. There was an internal energy channel. He was channeling energy constantly. He was emboding something. So what was happening in was much deeper to create an addition of That's the Hashem says he kept my mitzvah. He created the mitzvah that Hashem does. In other words, the mitzvah in the way theyffect effect the divine qualities. It says Hashem visits the sick. What does that mean? What does it what's the sick in the higher world? We know what it means to be sick in this world. What does it mean to be? Every mitzvah exists on all the world. What's the why is anybody sick over there? [laughter] What's the problem? So he says, it says in sustain me with good wine, decorate me with apples because I am loves sick. People become loves sick because there's a blockage. So I become sick from love. The love makes me sick. The angst, the yearning. because all the dimensions even which is divine energy but it's only a ray his ray permeates earth and heaven. So the soul yearns and pines and craves for intimacy for oneness to cleave with the sustain me with the old wine and adore me with apples. He's asking for a revelation of from concealment because this revelation this will heal my sickness. So this is it's interesting says is the gatri of 49 because he has 49 gates of wisdom and he's missing the fifth is that he's sick. So that's the source of so it's not that it's disconnected from illness in this world. Every illness in the physical is rooted in illness in the spiritual. Just like we know emotional anxiety creates physical anxiety and emotional stress, everything in the physical body results from something internally, energetically, and it goes deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. You know, people used to make fun of this, but uh you know, Dr. Sarno with his back pain. I don't know if you're familiar, [laughter] but if you're dealing with back pain and neck pain and all the good Jewish pains that many of us have, we know a lot of it is pushed emotional stuff that gets stuck. This is not to delegitimize that there's physical illness, but everything is connected. There's no disconnection. So there's in this world, there's in a higher world. What's the source of says that you're missing God? You're missing eight. That's what it is. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's a state of but but that's that that's that that's the idea of sick. Hashem visits the sick. It says Hashem came to visit. So what that means is that there's a that heals the that's and that's what real means what do you give the you give him presence means the presence of Hashem in the's life it soothes it soothes the sickness it's all the main of he He was because over there there's also [snorts] mean he puts on the word the word means connection. What does it mean? puts on it means that connects to says what does it say in art it says what says says what's the connection where says incashem's So what's the connecting with which is which is it's connecting with them. So that's what it says init means it's the flow of into the higher worlds to heal them to connect them to integrate them with pure and over there was the flow of coming into point that he becomes one with his and one with his Caleb. And those were the main mitzvah of to do the mitzvah the way Hashem does the mitzvah does the mitzvah. It says all the mitzvah Hashem does. So spiritually speaking it means the way the mitzvah impacts Hashem does that mitzvah the connected with is what? So God brings in eloqu did those mitzvah he was touching that element bringing the into the world is a world of fragmentation like it says in pares the river goes out from and it irrigates the garden and then from there it splits Here comes a new to be able to im that he becomes one with his but not in the higher worlds in this world in the higher worlds the is that it's defined but it's allina it's allina it's not it's not separateness it's not detachment it's not disassociation It's sick from love because of connection. The sickness itself is part of the connection. Over here, the sickness is that I think I'm healthy. The sickness [laughter] is over there. You're sick for love. I'm already know what you're sick for. What do they say? And knowing the illness is half the remedy. Spiritually, it means the fact you know what you're sick for. You know what you're sick for. So now you know what to search for. You don't get distracted with other things. You know what's going to satisfy. You know what's not going to satisfy. You won't sell yourself short. >> Take the wrong medication. >> You don't take the wrong medication. Exactly. Here it's a it's but it's I think I'm sick for something else. So my whole life I'm running after stuff that's going to satisfy my sickness but really make me more sick. It's a whole different there's a period from everything completely fragmentation. Complete fragmentation on so many different levels. But even in the most basic level, it's a world where there's it's not like the is that there's a hester of there's a but there's still but I'm still sick. It's even more sick in a way because you know what you're looking for and you feel how deep it is. But that's the of that should be able to be that that and he puts the word that it's not a compromise. It's mama should be able to be manifested in below in the human in the human meaning in the human faculties in the way you think in the way you you conceive in my wisdom here today in my kindness here today in my compassion here today in my discipline here today but in in the form of the mitzvah that the person does physically not in in other words it's not just on frequencies in which The spirituality of the world is vibrating but it's actually in the very physical visceral world. That's where it translates which was also but you can't compare it to where it was in his main focus. That's the meaning of the words came down on what does that mean is not just he came down on a mountain. This represents the that the is it came down that it could be the real integration between the two. That's the this is the words of that this day. He doesn't just speak about this day the day of that. So this is the this is the that it's this day not like before before it was more in here it's in so is the ability to be able to create real real integration and that's a unique because when we speak about that it means in the world of fragmentation in the world of separateness. >> Yeah. So that's there had to be a big that there should be able to be able to be that full full integration that the person embodies it and lives it not just in the spiritual elements of their life but in the physical elements of their life in their daily activities in the world of pir in the world where there's complete fragmentation and separation. Huh? That's the That was the given. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Were the regular folk able to access what was able to access >> or was it just these select few? And is that the >> [snorts] >> What are we saying over here that only was able to access these frequencies because he was who he was and then maybe get stuck in they were able to do it because it wasn't it wasn't integrated into this into >> right well I'm asking >> so I think yeah so so I think it's obvious that as he says before he planted the moon of Hashem in people's hearts so he affected the mass masses. But how much can he affect the masses? Only to a limited degree because it wasn't brought down into the earth. >> Yeah. So those who are on the level of Aramu or real students and disciples of Araminu like his children. Huh. >> Yeah. And of course >> right after death right after his death that was the burst of Babylonian society which was the most ethical society. >> Yeah. So obviously he affected everybody but the effect was much more limited because it didn't come down into so who were experiencing the higher realities like the so they got this and everybody got a little bit of it from the impact but the full integration into eritz was not there and therefore the way it impacted other people was much more limited. That's what it seems. It's also another interesting thing is you see if you sayu affected half of society nothing remained after his death was left alone yakov just had his family the says that everything was forgotten ultimately and the nation in Egypt kept it the yakov and his family so the question is what happened the say that affected half of humanity where did everybody go and the answer is after passed away it fizzled fizzled out. >> Huh? >> So, so it's kept it. Yakov kept it. Yakov passed it on to his children but was very limited. Very limited. And they were like holding on to this little treasure, this little secret of wanted to change the whole world. And it says he changed half of humanity and then nothing. Everybody was gone. >> [snorts] >> Oh, so that was the that because it did not that's what it seems from the m that because it wasn't integrated into a gashmas it fizzled away because when those who were in the presence of au >> it remained engraved in a stone >> yeah it gone with the wind those those who those who were in the presence of au and his frequency so to speak were impacted but when you went home and when au passed away and they went back to the early life it it it fizzled away at least significantly who maintained the had it and then yakov and so forth but it was a struggle you see even in their own family you know and it wasn't a simple thing so the of is that it went over to the whole nation and ultimately to the whole world but not just in quantity because there was a transformation of hashi that the a be communicated into the in the world of Pirut that the is not only existing in the higher world becomes embedded in the physical world. In other words, that even the physicality is sick when it's divorced from spirituality. It becomes sick. It's the dissonance that disturbs it. Once there's no going back anymore. So once he comes down now the secret was revealed. So the earth is never going to be able to be satisfied without its unity with heaven. It's not going to be able to go on vacation and enjoy itself because it knows who it is. >> You know once you hear a piece of music you could make believe that you never heard it but you did. [laughter] Good luck. It sits in you. It simmers. It simmers. It simmers. Maybe it takes 50 years, but it explodes. So once there was hari, the earth learned who it is. And once the earth learns who it is, there's no going back. So that now was translated into the physical. So now it never fizzled away anymore. >> Yeah. It's like planted. It's planted in the earth. How was Abraham able to exit? >> So he says that because he was a means that he let go of everything. He became a complete channel. That's what he said earlier in the previous paragraph that because so he became this channel. So he channel his father. >> Yeah. It wasn't that he started to go against his father. He knew who he was. So obviously he had to go against his father. He didn't. The point was not to go against his father. Okay, we'll take a break here. Will continue. Huh? >> Who >> the filling? Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Hashem's says so because that's >> on his you say >> it's interesting you say >> yeah so who when somebody is who can really heal nobody except >> has to visit him >> exactly That's that visited when he was sick because he was it love. >> So Rashi says how does Rashi know that according to the M? It's clear >> all love is that's what it is. [laughter] God appearing is that's visiting the sick. >> Huh? But but that's the ver that if you're not love won't do >> if you're not looking for it so it's not going to help you right >> if I'm not hungry you're going to give me food it doesn't mean anything if I didn't eat and then you give me food it's >> so in a way is not exciting >> the buffet is not exciting if you're not hungry it'sa you know if you're full and then you eat it's not even there's no iss It's interesting if somebody eats they stuff themselves. Yeah. And then comes they start eating. Yeah. So it's not an isur because it's not called it's disgusting. It's disgusting. It's like you want to vomit. It's like somebody torturing you. You know when you Huh? >> You're saying it is always. [laughter] So the point is can only happen if the person feels like then I love is ah is he going to answer what does it mean that >> yeah of course that's the the end of the saying you Please heal it. Heal her by showing her the sweetness of your radiance. Then she'll become strong and healed and it will be a source of eternal joy. Right. That's the >> ver only two questions. >> Yeah. Yeah. We're working on it. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Basser. Yeah. >> Figured something out. >> Yeah. rules.
