Kabbalistic ideas: 974 Generations before Creation

All right, we are in para Noah and we're discussing a few cababalistic ideas which we are coming to introduce into this important concept which we might spend a few weeks now to expand on something known as parts.in. Now the difference between a parts of are usually individualized. They're not connected one to the next. They have no you have each one is standing on his own. He has no connection no affiliation one to the next. That's the idea of the spirat. When that happens, you get what we call this the the burning, the building, the destruction of the utensil. It was a catastrophe. What happened was that which is a which is the utensil which holds or was not strong enough as an individual to hold the aura together. And since they're not strong enough individually to hold the or they exploded. That's the explosion that happens to and that's considered the catastrophe that occurs that occurred when we call the all the utensils broke and as a result of that the or scattered the lights the light is the power of the that's what scattered from place to place and there wasn't any room for it to happen at all and to and to be able to stay together. The only way it is sufficient in order to be able to contain this aura all in one shot is we take all these individual spirit and we make a foundation of formation out of it. They connect one to each other. For those who've seen the pictures, I'll bring pictures maybe next week. Is that you have the spirit but they're all connected one to the next. It works like a little flowchart. Each one is connected. You have t the middle dot in between. You have in between the idea of each one works together. it when it works as one big team like one big football team that works together. So then you have a fantastic team that can work together. You're able to work together. This the problem was they were working on their own and once they work on their own they don't have the kak in order to stay and contain the light of themselves. That's what happened. So the kush that happened by the breaking of the utensils and now the returning of the utensils that something known as partsim parts which we'll have to explain is formed. These parts of are things that were gathered and made into one formation and now they're able to contain the light inside of it. Classically speaking when we speak about the kale we're referring to the flood that we have in parak the flood also in par was something that was avira a breaking of the utensils. The Gumar talks about the fact that the there was a break in the star formation but things were broken. Things were inaccurate. They were they were in congruence. They weren't working together and as a result of that they were not able to work together and therefore there was a flood an overflowing of water. It's no coincidence that that's why the say over and over again the reason why the flood happened is because they were gazing they were not treating each other properly. what we refer to as or is the person the sukim refer to it as is cruelty which the bal term says is the gatri of gimm is gum so it's the same idea because since they're not treating each other properly they're like that are working individual when each sphere works individually you can't contain the light by yourself that's why in Judaism there's a very important idea of z we try to work together we always are working as a formation together not as an individual when We're working as one whole. So then we're able to stay alive. That's what keeps us going and that's what keeps us ticking. Now this idea of the which eventually brings to what we call the tikun, the fixing of the of the utensils and the parts which are their formations. You got it individual spir they all broke eventually. Then the tikun comes together. When they come together they fix the kaim and they stay repaired because they are welded together. and glor with terret. Everything works together and that's how a person is able to rebuild himself. Even though destruction is something not that we look for but many times destruction is a form of building. Sometimes we break something in order to rebuild. We find this concept many times in the history of Tanakh or the Torah or in general like I said classically he ate from the tree and from there we start the building process that's also a certain type of the what we have in our par no we have the same phenomenon that people were acting in congruous to each other not working they were not able to hold the light but from there begins the building block sometimes we Think when we break it's all over. When you break that's just the beginning. That's when you're supposed to restart again. That's the perfect time for restarting. By mitim we had a very difficult time for 210 years init but that was the beginning of the creation of a nation coming in 5 months in in in Pes the of the beautiful time fantastic matantra. We received everything and then suddenly an egg comes to break everything and destroy everything. That's a from there we move on to receiving back the second what we are supposed to do. We are in the beginning of now which is the which represents the moon which waxes and way waxes and waines and that's because the moon is a representation of Judaism. We go by the lunar calendar more or less and that's because we are believers that things change and it's okay when things look down when things look out it's okay it's time to reroute it's time to refix yourself to go ahead and change everything back to where it was before you understand that's the idea of the world was created with but it's okay but even though there was a shir breakage that's there to be refixed again it's there to be brought back to the forefront it's there to be the says that is it was but when created the world it started by destroying worlds and recreating destroying and recreating it came back and forth what was making a mistake what is he some Israeli kablan I don't understand what happened here what was going on he he couldn't get it right the first time. The answer is no. It was done on purpose in order to put into the DNA of the world or the DNA of every individual that you should know. Yes, there are times of darkness. There are times of chev. There are things that break. There are times where you might be disappointed. You might be depressed. You might think that it's not there. But the are always there to regenerate. There is always a regeneration that will come back eventually. It will come back and get renewed. And it will get renewed. Okay? It will get renewed. That's the kak of what we learned from the uh beginning of the uh from the beginning of the of the generations. Sed. That's uh this important uh clar. Okay. I'm going to quote you now from the leash, a cabalistic safer also. is the grandfather of Raul Yosh in the saferim in the safer dea excuse me he says there it's a beautiful beautiful safer he brings down a lot of cabalistic ideas very clearly with many ideas behind it and he says that the idea behind the also explains have you heard of it's really a garl that there were tough tough kufindid generations before the world was created anyone ever heard of generations before the world was created. What does that mean? I never understood. And how do you remember the number 974? That's hard. When 975 or like is there a half or is there decimal points like where they get the number 974 from? Isn't that funny? Do you ever think about that? The answer is huh? >> Oh, very good. The answer is Bame wanted to make a thousand generations until Matanra. There would be a thousand generations until we get to matra for many reasons. The number a thousand is a very uh important number which I'm not going to get into that right now but he wanted to make a thousand generations but he saw this is in the mit in the safer bet elim he saw it's not going to go. He saw that a thousand generations not going to happen. People are just going to waste away. It's not going to last. So he changed it from a th00and to 26. Take that on for a discount. I wish the Kablan would give me a discount like that, right? It went from a,000 to 26. 26 generations. That's enough. And even that was only 1500 years. It wasn't so uh such a whatever a little over 2,000 years, but 20 248, but meant till the flood. Anyways, he took instead of doing a thou instead of having a thousand generations, 26 years. So that's how we get the number 974. Now I got it 1,000 - 26 is 974 because said 26 generations. So from until Mosher Rabenu was 26 generations in which we received the Torah. So what happened to these first 9774 generations? Where are they? Who are they? So Alabalad it's a very there's a very deep idea here. Those are remnants follow this of the in other words he says over there that the spir they came down and they were broken because everything was destroyed and everything was halfhazard there was no rhyme and reason it was a mess it was a catastrophe everything was not connected one to the next everything was that is there were mushim there were that came into the world there were spirits or souls that came into the world that were not mushl that were not complete and as a result of that they ended up causing many uh in the world and it was very uncomfortable. Therefore the world was and build and build the world was not able to be destroyed. In other words, the mabul which we learned at para flow in in parah happened a few times just it happened in the before in the earlier in the earlier years they were halfhazard type of namas that were around and existed but were pagum and it didn't last so well but he says those have a spillover even nowadays when you have or when you have generations such as the dora flug or the dora or can I say some people in the are you going to get mad at me if I say that right those are spill overs from that 974 generations. He says as he says those types of people are there is spill over from those generations. That's why he says vrab say what's the so the actually the mid mid over here that he would destroy the world and create another one another one another one. So there were many worlds or many nishas that were around that weren't making it at that time that weren't making it for such a long period of time that he was able to go ahead and continue on and on and on until we got it right. Okay, I'm just showing you that there was apparently spiritual ideas that happened. You should know this is one of the answers that even the already answer for the ever popular famous question that people answer. I have a I like to have a different answer, but this is one of the answers that they say for the ever popular dinosaur question. For the billions of years that the universe, the world has been around. Of course, according to the scientists, how can you prove the fossils and this? It must be that they've been around for a long period of time and you know there a few and a number of different answers and according to this idea of the 974 cuz talking about from the time after the it was only 26 generations from was 26 generations but there were 974 generations of I I don't know what it looked like I can't describe describe it to you. I don't think anyone describes it. They just say it was a lot of these incomplete nishas like these uh I don't want to use the wrong word but like deformed autistic kind of retardation in the nishama. I don't know if I should use those words. I'm not sure what the proper word is but not muslam. There were namat that were incomplete that were around during the so it could be that yes even from there was an extended period of time that was around here. If it was this world, if it was a different world, I can't tell you. But whatever it was, they could be that that actually lasted for those billions of years. And those were takarge. They were very large. It could be fossils that were very large. And that could be one of the explanations that pa personally I enjoy more what the malb says in our parha that he says in our para that the idea is that because the water was boiling hot it destroyed much of the sediment in the ground and all the carbon dating which is based on layers and and and relevance of iron and things like that in the ground obviously got messed up by the mabul everything that happened in the mabul got changed that over meaning the carbon dating from pre- Mabel times is inaccurate. Maybe from the Mabul and onwards it's accurate, but before the Mabel you cannot use Carmen dating in order to say and we had a lot of big giants around here for the first 1500 years that was around which makes a lot of sense was a small accord before the and the all the other things we gave Sher once. There were very monsters that were walking this planet over here. There were big things all around especially there were benim and you know b elohim and there were with the the women all these all these crazy sized people. So you'll tell me yeah but who says they were a billion years around so the carbon dating is messed up because of the sediment in the ground that was destroyed by the ma which makes so much sense that's the m destroyed says but I'm just saying acquainted this idea there were 974 generations before which came from warped namat that were not perfected and as a result of that there was what we call the that came that's the that's the breaking of the utensils until there was a ret that got fixed up again which eventually will lead to the building of the part like I said this is a it's not a oh what a bummer it broke no this is part of the system Hashem created the world in a way that yes part of the building blocks of nature is by breaking and rebuilding breaking and rebuilding and that's the way that you're able to go ahead and make a change so yes it's a coalistic idea but you should know there's a lot of meaning behind it I did not finish but we started late today so I have to stop but next time this will be a half an hour sheer for the Nav'i share. We'll try to make it a little bit more informative and then next week we'll speak about part two from Mash.
