Speaker A:

Start here.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

We're gonna.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna go through a little this part a little quick.

Speaker A:

We started this last year.

Speaker A:

But we're gonna go through especially the first two, three ProCram a little bit quicker.

Speaker A:

They're a little bit more technical, cerebral and like a lot of like the origins of Brio, which are important obviously, but at the same like you need it for certain hakdamas.

Speaker A:

But at the same time it's kadai to go through them a little faster.

Speaker A:

These are early and yanim that you know that Arizo and the.

Speaker A:

And the Svarm all say it's.

Speaker A:

It's a lot of pages.

Speaker A:

We'll come with me.

Speaker A:

It's a lot of pages.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

No, start the first.

Speaker A:

Yeah, we're going to go through it very fast and then just.

Speaker A:

We'll come with me and I'll pick up some copies.

Speaker A:

But you know, these are already in yos is very explicitly.

Speaker A:

We're not supposed to be oaken very much.

Speaker A:

Even kipsho like.

Speaker A:

I mean these are obviously not explicit in the Torah at all.

Speaker A:

The stuff that we're going to talk about right now.

Speaker A:

But it's.

Speaker A:

They're stuff that we.

Speaker A:

We put words to it.

Speaker A:

We put Michelle into them.

Speaker A:

But at the same time the Michellem really.

Speaker A:

It's impotent.

Speaker A:

It's as much as in general mushrooms and muscle.

Speaker A:

But you know, sometimes the marshall really drives the thing home here it's a little bit harder to do that.

Speaker A:

But just one or two things that I always like to say.

Speaker A:

Just a couple things.

Speaker A:

Just really the.

Speaker A:

Just the purpose of this safer just to make it very, very clear.

Speaker A:

There are.

Speaker A:

When people learn and they learn, you know, some of the areas of.

Speaker A:

We'll call them.

Speaker A:

But I don't mean that literally.

Speaker A:

People think that it's Kabbalah, pynomi, Satorah.

Speaker A:

That's not what has definitely it's based on certain ideas and principles that Arizona spoke about and a lot of other Svarm who were mekubalam.

Speaker A:

But that's not the purpose of this is something which is avada.

Speaker A:

We're supposed to bring out a certain or into the world which we'll talk about.

Speaker A:

But it's supposed to something which is connecting to Avoda.

Speaker A:

It's a hamimus.

Speaker A:

It's a warmth.

Speaker A:

It's an or that's there.

Speaker A:

The purpose is for Avoda.

Speaker A:

It's to better ourselves and to adv.

Speaker A:

It's not for that also.

Speaker A:

But this is that it's not Kabbalah.

Speaker A:

There's certain principles in Order to connect to this that are, you know, kind of border.

Speaker A:

But it's not.

Speaker A:

Definitely not kabbalah.

Speaker A:

Anyone who's learned kabbalah, which I haven't, can definitely testify to that.

Speaker A:

And obviously within the range of the spectrum of hasidas are ones that are deeper that border the.

Speaker A:

The world of kabbalah a little bit more and ones that border less.

Speaker A:

And then just one or two other things that just to be maim.

Speaker A:

It's a dover pashat that in this day and age, when as the gollas get straight stronger and stronger, that.

Speaker A:

And the khosha gets greater and greater.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The necessity to learn anyone who's learning Hasidas.

Speaker A:

The warmth and the aura that comes in terms of breaking through the khosha.

Speaker A:

So powerful.

Speaker A:

It's so powerful.

Speaker A:

And I. I think I said this last year.

Speaker A:

And so it was something when I.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker A:

That always sticks to me.

Speaker A:

I'm sure people probably heard me say this before, but, you know, to me bear is repeating.

Speaker A:

Is that the neim says that in shar dalit that we learned toro and the ikor is learning nigger, which we do have to always learn, obviously, but that they would learn Nigel.

Speaker A:

And then they kind of were struggling to learn.

Speaker A:

So they started learning se musr to try to help them kind of get on the path to learning to.

Speaker A:

To learn gemara and sh.

Speaker A:

Post and whatever.

Speaker A:

And then almost the pendulum sung too much.

Speaker A:

So they want.

Speaker A:

Started learning only muser.

Speaker A:

And then they go back to it and kind of the pendulum swinging.

Speaker A:

But my kind of horror that I want to learn that it's mashma that there was no need to.

Speaker A:

Within that world of the.

Speaker A:

Of the sifri nigga and whatever.

Speaker A:

The official world to learn Seferi musser is only heikh atimsa to learn Nigel.

Speaker A:

Without it, you.

Speaker A:

If you were learning stark, you wouldn't need anything else.

Speaker A:

So this is not like that.

Speaker A:

They fundamentally disagree with that.

Speaker A:

There's a tacha sidabria of being magala, the or the BAAL shem tov, which brings out the or mashiach, which is necessary in this day and age, which brings out a certain ar.

Speaker A:

That's why we need this Arab atotachosha.

Speaker A:

I landed one or two little things that I. I don't know if I ever shared this with anyone, but I saw only rich.

Speaker A:

I can say something like that.

Speaker A:

And one of his things that he sent out one week, remember he brought a maa that he was.

Speaker A:

He asked why the was so mesugal to have the mishabura and all these things.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

And everyone learns and mishabura is like now considered like the post most people.

Speaker A:

So what's shot?

Speaker A:

So he brings the maisa that one of the.

Speaker A:

They're going to the.

Speaker A:

One of the Knesses, whatever it was.

Speaker A:

And the Chavez traveled with.

Speaker A:

I believe it was the Emory Emma.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think it was.

Speaker A:

And they're on the wagon and was learning how to say for asking what safer is that he shows him.

Speaker A:

No, no, no.

Speaker A:

He's like, what is that?

Speaker A:

What's in it?

Speaker A:

And he shows it to him, starts learning and apparently started crying.

Speaker A:

He says, why are you crying?

Speaker A:

And he says, because you don't understand it, okay?

Speaker A:

It's different.

Speaker A:

It's just a different language.

Speaker A:

It's not like, you know, I'm sure the time could have figured out at least certain amounts of time, obviously what's going on there.

Speaker A:

And he started crying.

Speaker A:

He's not like me when I said, what are you talking about, Benjamin?

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

So he started crying and he said, like, yeah, you don't understand it.

Speaker A:

But he's like, you never learned this stuff.

Speaker A:

Like, you have to learn it, whatever.

Speaker A:

And Rich Maya said so why?

Speaker A:

He says, because the.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

Or the BAAL Shem Tov, the Torah Hasidos, that's the Orah Mashiach.

Speaker A:

The Orah Mashiach is the eternity to it.

Speaker A:

The mela, the specifically the chavitzrayim, as opposed to.

Speaker A:

Let's say he says another and oh, no, sorry.

Speaker A:

He's opposed to the gra.

Speaker A:

He says, which we don't possibly the girl, even though the girl was obviously the, you know, the gadar or whatever and all that.

Speaker A:

He says because while the girl was a big guy, he wasn't z to be Nichol and the Ar Ma.

Speaker A:

So there was lacking that nitzli, as opposed to do Khavitzayim, who he says at the end of his life started learning Hasidas, apparently Sidi Goitanya.

Speaker A:

So therefore he used zocha to have the or of mitzvah, the a of alshem to necha and a saying so.

Speaker A:

And then I'll just mamish.

Speaker A:

The last point that I said.

Speaker A:

I think I said this when we were before for Sukkos is that the fundamental point of Hasidis is not.

Speaker A:

It's so deep, but if a person is coming to a point of where it's almost like a bakam of gaiver because of it, then it's totally missing the point.

Speaker A:

The number one you saw that always hit me about chabad that they always talk about is the sort of bittle of nullification because Chabad is the deepest.

Speaker A:

So it's not the most kabbalistic.

Speaker A:

It's the deepest.

Speaker A:

Their depth and everything is so deep.

Speaker A:

But it only starts with having Bethel.

Speaker A:

If you don't have bittul, you start to have Gaiva and then you lose it all.

Speaker A:

And you're going to stop at some point.

Speaker A:

But if the point is that you realize the godless habore not to realizing the godless of the so much that you feel like a nobody, but you realize it and then you're able to almost be consumed by it and you just have a chuka and a passion to do more and more.

Speaker A:

First of all, that's the greatest godless.

Speaker A:

It's a bit.

Speaker A:

It's a goddess.

Speaker A:

That comes with a bit though.

Speaker A:

But not only that, it's.

Speaker A:

You'll feel almost like this burning desire to always be connected.

Speaker A:

And there's no disconnect even when you're working, even when you're doing whatever in your life at that point.

Speaker A:

That's really the tus.

Speaker A:

So m. Hopefully this will help us start.

Speaker A:

Who wrote this?

Speaker A:

And so the person who wrote this was.

Speaker A:

He was a sa.

Speaker A:

He was Kraus.

Speaker A:

He was a Malamid.

Speaker A:

The reason different things but the.

Speaker A:

The reason he wrote of people used to ask lots of questions in terms of head learn and he taught it to B.

Speaker A:

This is so this safer is they have all this form is similar.

Speaker A:

I think to me this is the done the best.

Speaker A:

Like I actually have another.

Speaker A:

The original volume like this was the first one I had.

Speaker A:

This came out first.

Speaker A:

This one was the original volume.

Speaker A:

Then they subsequently came out with pamphlets and then they put into Swarm on the Yom Tofen which Donnie or whoever bought.

Speaker A:

It's in the front.

Speaker A:

It's a six volume set.

Speaker A:

So this is the general Hakama which goes through all the column.

Speaker A:

And a lot of this is in the ones in the modem also.

Speaker A:

But that's applied to all the different mixes.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker A:

Very recent.

Speaker A:

Yeah, relatively he was mixed a bunch of years ago.

Speaker A:

So these are.

Speaker A:

These are.

Speaker A:

Are basically different.

Speaker A:

Not a parish.

Speaker A:

It's basically different marmakomos from different hasiusvaram that kind of talk about these ideas.

Speaker A:

The bottom also expands.

Speaker A:

It brings a lot more of like my sim and Hanhaggas and things like that.

Speaker A:

But the whole thing we're gonna go through the middle and like there's certain times whatever, but that's it.

Speaker A:

Even when he says the way you're supposed to learn the safer.

Speaker A:

You go through the middle part, go through the whole thing and then you go back over it and see that.

Speaker A:

So we'll see.

Speaker A:

So the beginning, like we said, it's a little bit, you know, out there.

Speaker A:

So we'll.

Speaker A:

We'll see what.

Speaker A:

We'll see what we do.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna.

Speaker A:

Hopefully it will go quick.

Speaker A:

I want to try to catch 11 o' clock Marv if I can.

Speaker A:

If I don't, I don't.

Speaker A:

But we'll try.

Speaker A:

But I'm gonna try it.

Speaker A:

If we could do the first two hot damas, like I said, it's because I just move a little fast, especially the beginning.

Speaker A:

And then we'll get into.

Speaker A:

Very soon they go into early the basics of spheres and stuff like that, which is very deep, but that's fundamentals.

Speaker A:

Okay, so let's start on.

Speaker A:

Like I said, there might be parts that miss.

Speaker A:

So whatever.

Speaker A:

And if anybody wants copy, they can stop somewhere and pick it up.

Speaker A:

Or Dani will probably be somewhere more likely to pick up.

Speaker A:

He'll be in barber.

Speaker A:

There's going to be mony and then he'll be in K. And I might be in touch sometime soon and who knows?

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

So when it went into the river, so to speak of their bonus to create the world.

Speaker A:

Okay, obviously that means that we.

Speaker A:

We always have to understand that their bonus.

Speaker A:

There's no need to create the world or you know the idea when we say that, you know, normal person, a normal like worker of some kind will fashion something because there's some sort of.

Speaker A:

Whether he does an action because you need something that he's missing or even to sell it, that means he needs something, meaning he needs money that he's going to get.

Speaker A:

So obviously the not lacking anything.

Speaker A:

He was doing it because like the.

Speaker A:

Like Ram Khan already tells us it was because he wanted to.

Speaker A:

He wanted to do good once.

Speaker A:

Give over.

Speaker A:

In order to, you know, to influence.

Speaker A:

To give over good to creation meaning to the world.

Speaker A:

There was no space.

Speaker A:

There was no literally air or empty place in order to create it.

Speaker A:

Why Hashem Hagadova?

Speaker A:

Because the whole matzias, the whole existence was full of this tremendous aura of Hashem which was so great.

Speaker A:

It was such a tremendous.

Speaker A:

Or.

Speaker A:

What is this?

Speaker A:

Or called Hanikara or ain.

Speaker A:

So far.

Speaker A:

This is a very obviously very common term that's in all the Hasidic farm that's called the or ain't so far.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And this art was so strong, it was so great that it was impossible to create Anything.

Speaker A:

Nothing could be existed.

Speaker A:

It would burn.

Speaker A:

It would become destroyed immediately.

Speaker A:

The or is so greed.

Speaker A:

Nothing could even get close.

Speaker A:

Like I said, even Malim, which we think about are so lofty.

Speaker A:

They would obviously you can't even say in comparison.

Speaker A:

There is no comparison.

Speaker A:

They would.

Speaker A:

But like if we want to try to understand, it pales in comparison obviously to the or the rain.

Speaker A:

So what are the rabonishol need to do?

Speaker A:

He needed to create this thing called Amakam panam, this empty place, so to speak.

Speaker A:

We'll touch upon what that means in a second.

Speaker A:

In order to create the.

Speaker A:

The world there.

Speaker A:

Not just our world that we live in, which we call the world of Asiya, which we'll talk about in later, but all the worlds fine parentheses nicar makam hole.

Speaker A:

What doesn't have that?

Speaker A:

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

Speaker A:

It's just a parentheses.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

That this gave the ability the possibility to omitzius in existence of the world which was called the makum empty the.

Speaker A:

The void space, so to speak.

Speaker A:

Which like.

Speaker A:

It's funny because you think like void means like it's nothing.

Speaker A:

It's empty.

Speaker A:

It's almost like a deficiency.

Speaker A:

But it's really.

Speaker A:

That's what allowed there to be.

Speaker A:

Which is.

Speaker A:

We're going to talk about in general.

Speaker A:

We.

Speaker A:

We conceptualize Midas Aden, so to speak as something bad.

Speaker A:

This is the whole makor for me to sadim.

Speaker A:

That's why the world originally was.

Speaker A:

Because that was the whole makor of the world.

Speaker A:

Meaning how was the world created by Tzim Sum?

Speaker A:

By not a tsim tsum azilife.

Speaker A:

The rabon shalom was removed himself.

Speaker A:

When you remove himself, that's a contraction.

Speaker A:

That's limiting something.

Speaker A:

It's taking something away.

Speaker A:

That is Mita saben.

Speaker A:

You're not giving something.

Speaker A:

And that was really the makor of the world.

Speaker A:

That's where the makor of Minasadin comes from.

Speaker A:

So what is our bonus?

Speaker A:

Is it.

Speaker A:

Do you want to switch so you can see what is our bonham do?

Speaker A:

So he contracted and he removed.

Speaker A:

He took all this or this tremendous art which is the robot himself, whatever exactly that means.

Speaker A:

And he moved it to the sides.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

He moved it to the sides.

Speaker A:

Eagle.

Speaker A:

And he left in the middle of this space.

Speaker A:

Empty space that didn't have this other bonus in the shape of a circle.

Speaker A:

There's some discussion about why Dafka is circle.

Speaker A:

Because it needs to be equal.

Speaker A:

Once you have corners, they're going to be parts which are not equal.

Speaker A:

Be closer to an R. Whatever it is.

Speaker A:

So, and like you said, all this is like, okay, like, who cares, really?

Speaker A:

For us, it's a circle, a square, triangle, rectangle.

Speaker A:

Like, okay enough.

Speaker A:

To me, probably not in terms of my own Havana, it's probably not much of a difference.

Speaker A:

There probably are people that are more sensitive to this.

Speaker A:

But either way, this is just what the tell us.

Speaker A:

And Arizal and the fu.

Speaker A:

So he left in his face this empty space, this circle, and within this space.

Speaker A:

And it was in this place, what we call the.

Speaker A:

This Malcolm.

Speaker A:

It was that he created all the worlds, the upper world and the lower worlds, all the malachim.

Speaker A:

Everything, anything in.

Speaker A:

In the brio that was created is in this space.

Speaker A:

Obviously it's not a physical space.

Speaker A:

I mean, there is a physical space, but obviously we're not talking about a classical physical space.

Speaker A:

You know, at this point in the brio, we're talking about.

Speaker A:

That's all.

Speaker A:

That's all that's there, right?

Speaker A:

We're talking about.

Speaker A:

We're talking about all this and everything that was created from.

Speaker A:

From small to big.

Speaker A:

That's why the rabonishom has this description of makum.

Speaker A:

Does it have this in there?

Speaker A:

Okay, so we'll talk about in a little bit.

Speaker A:

And all these places we call the rab.

Speaker A:

Okay, why?

Speaker A:

Because.

Speaker A:

What's it referring to?

Speaker A:

The mak.

Speaker A:

We'll talk about this in a second.

Speaker A:

What this means.

Speaker A:

There's a. I actually didn't know that he had this here.

Speaker A:

I happened to see this like half hour ago, underwond it, but there's a beautiful stick on the shakaimo about this.

Speaker A:

But either way, he's given the description of.

Speaker A:

Because it was there in that place that rabbanishalam made in the.

Speaker A:

In this ar, so to speak, this empty space for the bria olam kadoshi.

Speaker A:

So when the svaram talk about o tahiru ilah to hero elah that what that means is to hero means it's the.

Speaker A:

The makum and is.

Speaker A:

Is the upon.

Speaker A:

So it's literally the tai of a.

Speaker A:

Okay, so just in terms of this idea of makam.

Speaker A:

So it's referring to this makam, but what exactly does that mean?

Speaker A:

So the neim has a.

Speaker A:

He has a beautiful kind of idea he gives almost like a mushroom.

Speaker A:

He says imagine and he says that the m that the mushroom is not really dom to the Nim.

Speaker A:

But he says shar giml is more of like kabbalistic deeper ideas, these types of things.

Speaker A:

In terms of the yichud of the things like that.

Speaker A:

But he Says imagine like you have a.

Speaker A:

You have an object and it's on like a.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's resting on something.

Speaker A:

It's a place.

Speaker A:

So in some ways the place, the mukom that it's sitting, the mukom that it's resting, okay, that's its place.

Speaker A:

What happens without it, without it, it becomes.

Speaker A:

It would fall and it would break.

Speaker A:

Okay, so it's almost worth giving it its mitziyas in some ways.

Speaker A:

Not literally.

Speaker A:

Not not, but not literally.

Speaker A:

Because there it obviously has a mitzius.

Speaker A:

But even while it's on that place.

Speaker A:

But what gives it that mitzius to a certain extent is the fact that it's in that makom.

Speaker A:

It's resting on that maktom.

Speaker A:

So he says it's the same thing.

Speaker A:

Why is it called.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's a muscle in this idea is that this makom is.

Speaker A:

So to speak, it's holding this.

Speaker A:

It's holding its object.

Speaker A:

What's this?

Speaker A:

What's the object that it's holding in.

Speaker A:

In the nimshal, it's holding this world.

Speaker A:

We know that when Nevshaim already tells us.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The Rebbe tells us, tell us is that the rabon hashem is creating the world.

Speaker A:

And for even for a sec, forget a second, whatever, however we want to touch it.

Speaker A:

If the rabushon stopped giving vitality to the world, the world ceases to exist immediately.

Speaker A:

In a second, all the farms.

Speaker A:

Like I said says.

Speaker A:

It's also very explicitly in Charles in Nepheshaim.

Speaker A:

So he says the whole makom of this world, what gives it mitsiyas is only the fact is that the Rabban shim creates this makkum.

Speaker A:

So that's why it's created.

Speaker A:

That's why their bones homes.

Speaker A:

It's called nakam.

Speaker A:

So obviously the mushroom is not same, because let's just say this coffee is.

Speaker A:

It's on the table.

Speaker A:

So this wouldn't break, it would spill or whatever would happen.

Speaker A:

But if it would break, this has the mitzviyas b't nayatzma.

Speaker A:

Without this table, it just.

Speaker A:

It's like supporting it.

Speaker A:

It's resting it, but there it's not just that it's supporting it.

Speaker A:

And yes, we might perceive ourselves as a mitziyas bnyasmal, but the fact that if even for a second the rabbonisholem stopped giving khias and who cease to exist is that there is no mitziyat.

Speaker A:

It's only.

Speaker A:

This is Al talked about in the beginning of Shaykhas and the first couple.

Speaker A:

So either way, that's where the tit of Mikomo comes in.

Speaker A:

Also, you know, you would think that you have this space where all the worlds are, including us, that the ravon shlom is removed completely.

Speaker A:

There's this aura that the rabon shom was there.

Speaker A:

It removed completely.

Speaker A:

No, that there I would have my rafter.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

But either way, it's not possible to say that their bonus was Masonic himself agamry, because there's no point which is void of the rabonisham.

Speaker A:

So what does that mean?

Speaker A:

He removed himself to this.

Speaker A:

We're going to.

Speaker A:

We'll talk about these terms later.

Speaker A:

Mamali colum, silvic colum.

Speaker A:

These are terms that really kind of took over.

Speaker A:

But the was everywhere.

Speaker A:

So what does that mean?

Speaker A:

Before this, before the Masalik himself, the whole world was full of this tremendous aura of the ravon.

Speaker A:

And no, nothing that was created was able to be so was able to kind of handle this and interact with this type of or you wouldn't.

Speaker A:

There was no possibility of creation or anything at that point.

Speaker A:

But what happened when the Russian wanted to create the world?

Speaker A:

He hid and he.

Speaker A:

He hid and removed this tremendous r. And he only.

Speaker A:

What only remained was the Kodo, this Koda, whatever it was.

Speaker A:

See exactly what that means.

Speaker A:

It was just the clothing, so to speak, of the.

Speaker A:

The bones are the essence of their bonus, so to speak.

Speaker A:

Like you said, that's what we always focus on.

Speaker A:

Kvodo.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's the representation of the.

Speaker A:

The little bit of ore that remains, which we'll touch up in a minute.

Speaker A:

Or Shammy's bro.

Speaker A:

So, Valdi, there's a level of or from that original or that remains, but it's enclosed, it's covered up in some way.

Speaker A:

So we're able to interact with it.

Speaker A:

We're not into full Simpson yet.

Speaker A:

We're just starting to talk about this, but a little bit remains.

Speaker A:

It's just in a way that we're able to interact with which he's going to talk about right now.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Make sense.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Obviously these are deep and abstract concepts.

Speaker A:

And, you know, these are just kind of certain things we have to accept.

Speaker A:

And even after he removed this tremendous or from this space, this still, like we said, remains a little bit of the or.

Speaker A:

He says.

Speaker A:

That's such an amazing Marshall, because when the Rabbi Shulem removed this or, how did he do it?

Speaker A:

He did it in small stages.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Why?

Speaker A:

Who cares?

Speaker A:

Let's think about it.

Speaker A:

In a mushroom, Imagine you take A big bucket of water and you just dump it quickly.

Speaker A:

What happens in that place where you dump the water?

Speaker A:

It splatters everywhere and come out.

Speaker A:

No water remains there.

Speaker A:

If any, maybe there'll be a drop, but come out nothing.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Even if there was some sort of little ditch, a little hole, whatever, because it was such a strong pouring, nothing remain.

Speaker A:

Let's say you pour the water slowly, then you're going to have a nice amount of water that's going to remain in that place.

Speaker A:

That's exactly what happened with the rabonosham.

Speaker A:

Pulled out his or a little bit by little bit.

Speaker A:

So the or is not going to be there in a potency in the same level.

Speaker A:

So obviously it's not exactly the same as the mushroom, but the aura is going to have a remnants.

Speaker A:

There's going to be a residue, so to speak, that's impacting the world.

Speaker A:

Okay, why did the Ramon shalom have to do this?

Speaker A:

The rabonisham could have poured it in a huge chunk and it would have been like that.

Speaker A:

Obviously the Ravanashim created the world in a spiritual sense that would resemble like the natural order.

Speaker A:

Like, obviously, like these are just things.

Speaker A:

Like, at least I wouldn't get into a philosophical discussion about it.

Speaker A:

I just take it for granted.

Speaker A:

But the Rabon shalom he left, he took it little bit by little bit.

Speaker A:

And what.

Speaker A:

So in order, that remains a little bit of a bracha.

Speaker A:

The who roshame.

Speaker A:

And therefore they left a little bit of a.

Speaker A:

A roshing, like a.

Speaker A:

Like a mark or whatever it is from that ore that he removed.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

Or harashimu, also a concept not talked about as much, but there's an or that we could connect to this or harashimu.

Speaker A:

It's a.

Speaker A:

A little bit of a remnants that was ingrained.

Speaker A:

Like this mark that was left there.

Speaker A:

That's because the rabo slowly removed it.

Speaker A:

And this from here is where the whole bria came.

Speaker A:

Okay, meaning from the fact that he removed it and he left, there's a little bit of R is what gives the.

Speaker A:

Or the to the whole world now.

Speaker A:

Okay, so.

Speaker A:

And we'll continue developing this.

Speaker A:

Fine.

Speaker A:

Now he continues with this.

Speaker A:

And around the.

Speaker A:

So now you have this M. You have this circle that doesn't have the true or there there's a level of remnants, but it's surrounded by this area which has tremendous R, which has a tremendous R around it.

Speaker A:

This aragad that we can't interact with.

Speaker A:

So he says.

Speaker A:

And in the surrounding of this, he created this.

Speaker A:

A barrier, so to speak.

Speaker A:

Around this whole like a circle a barrier of some kind around the.

Speaker A:

It's almost like a border that you make on a be like you know.

Speaker A:

You know the person who's sewing is going to make some sort of stitching in order to make sure it doesn't kind of come apart.

Speaker A:

Ha.

Speaker A:

Or.

Speaker A:

Baru.

Speaker A:

Because why what could happen There was the so to speak was nervous that there ends up there's not going to be a strong enough border.

Speaker A:

And that or in so bar that was there at the beginning which we can't interact with is going to kind of somehow seep in somehow.

Speaker A:

And obviously the world would just cease to exist.

Speaker A:

You do.

Speaker A:

I mean it's not the same thing but like, you know, even like, you know when you.

Speaker A:

When you.

Speaker A:

You have it, you know, it's not mamish the same thing.

Speaker A:

But you have.

Speaker A:

When people interact with R and too potent of a way and you don't have the cli for it.

Speaker A:

Bad things happen.

Speaker A:

You know.

Speaker A:

I'm not saying it's a mamish the same thing.

Speaker A:

I don't think that's what the case.

Speaker A:

How would you explain this meaning in the sense that Hashem theoretically controls if the war can get in or not?

Speaker A:

What would I. I don't know.

Speaker A:

But like meaning I would just say is that same concha.

Speaker A:

We could probably ask about like why did the Ronald Shalom have to create it with multiple brias with a shvira and all that meaning.

Speaker A:

Like we could give answers to these things but like the home in theory could have just created the world where there's a level of that we're interacting with the R through the levels of Simpson that are needed or whatever it is without doing it with a shrill like so.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Could have made it so that we were able to interact with.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

100 we could do whatever.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker A:

Like these conversations can be like philosophical in some ways.

Speaker A:

I personally am gonna avoid that in almost all circumstances just because like I'm not gonna get into like these theological.

Speaker A:

This gotta be like.

Speaker A:

I just don't know.

Speaker A:

I'm sure that maybe.

Speaker A:

Maybe Mikabalam could engage in these.

Speaker A:

I don't.

Speaker A:

I don't even think they.

Speaker A:

They might ask why and how.

Speaker A:

In terms of trying to understand avoda.

Speaker A:

I was gonna say is there an avoda in the sense of why the Oromakeith would require such like a stark perception.

Speaker A:

Maybe.

Speaker A:

Possibly.

Speaker A:

I think Svarns say that not only that the way they touch it up, it's.

Speaker A:

It's almost like there's the border and then there's almost like a space in between that is like void of anything.

Speaker A:

I think that's the way they touch it of some kinds of.

Speaker A:

If I remember correctly, I don't remember.

Speaker A:

You do it fine.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And now when we start talking about Simpson, this is really where we're starting to develop it even more.

Speaker A:

It is the Simpson that the Rabban sham says removed himself and he contracted.

Speaker A:

You know, there's no great English translation for some of these words.

Speaker A:

Simpson, I think contraction is the great is the best one.

Speaker A:

But contracted the aura of himself for their bones.

Speaker A:

And this is like we said before, this is where comes from.

Speaker A:

Because like we said, it's removing something, it's taking something away.

Speaker A:

But like we said, is not a bad thing.

Speaker A:

Even like the Marshall, like, you know, easiest Marshall is like, imagine a little kid, like he just wants candy and candy, candy, candy, candy, candy.

Speaker A:

You could be really nice and give candy all the time, but that's also being really, really bad.

Speaker A:

It's just spoiling him and giving something which is just going to kill his body at some point.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

There's, you know, different opinions of how much you can give and when and when not to.

Speaker A:

But at the end of the day, you need to have a certain boundary because that's better for him or her or whatever it is.

Speaker A:

So like with anything in life.

Speaker A:

Fine.

Speaker A:

Well, yeah, especially if you want to give money to Adventist.

Speaker A:

I remember the first time I saw this term and then I was like learning a shiko from and I saw it like that day.

Speaker A:

But that's why we called tsim in the zara the cardanisa.

Speaker A:

What does that mean?

Speaker A:

It's like a nair, which is white, obviously, but it's like hard and dark.

Speaker A:

What does that mean?

Speaker A:

That even though there's still this level of in there, there's aura that comes in, like we said, the aura from the Rashom that remains at the same time, but at the same time.

Speaker A:

But then there is only there because the Rabon sh removed himself and removed all the R Soina.

Speaker A:

It's a botsina.

Speaker A:

What does that mean?

Speaker A:

She may have.

Speaker A:

There is a level of R from this or that was there Avakar, Denisa, Huzek, Akasha.

Speaker A:

But it's in some ways it's very hard.

Speaker A:

It's dark, it's strong because it's from here, the tsimsum from this removal where dinam are going to come from, which is hard.

Speaker A:

Okay, so that's.

Speaker A:

It's like it's Balanced.

Speaker A:

There's a.

Speaker A:

Or that's there.

Speaker A:

But that or that's there is still the shoreish.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's kind of the product of Simpson.

Speaker A:

So therefore it's going to bring about denim.

Speaker A:

That's where the.

Speaker A:

That's where the term of the season, the cardinisa comes in.

Speaker A:

Okay, let's do.

Speaker A:

Let's do five more minutes.

Speaker A:

Are they having a marip here?

Speaker A:

Okay, so we do five.

Speaker A:

Five minutes.

Speaker A:

So guys, we'll be five minutes.

Speaker A:

Mars five minutes.

Speaker A:

Okay, so let's.

Speaker A:

Let's do five minutes.

Speaker A:

Okay, that's fine.

Speaker A:

Figure something.

Speaker A:

I don't know if they have 10.

Speaker A:

None of us.

Speaker A:

I'm saying in five minutes.

Speaker A:

It's not all run to Ben at that point.

Speaker A:

It's 51.

Speaker A:

We're going to do five minutes.

Speaker A:

Let's just do a little bit more.

Speaker A:

I wanna.

Speaker A:

These parts.

Speaker A:

I want to get this thing.

Speaker A:

Okay, so let's get through the next part.

Speaker A:

This part is also a little, you know, out there.

Speaker A:

Fine.

Speaker A:

So after this first symptom that we just talked about.

Speaker A:

So there's this.

Speaker A:

And then there's this removal of this aura.

Speaker A:

This aura hashima that's there.

Speaker A:

Then all the aura, their Bonham Sham is removed to the side.

Speaker A:

The lonely shore.

Speaker A:

There's just this.

Speaker A:

The residue like this.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

What's the best English word for Roshi impression remnants.

Speaker A:

There's a word that's like escaping me.

Speaker A:

Whatever.

Speaker A:

It's almost like he said.

Speaker A:

So it's a funny Marshall but it's like aish bulma.

Speaker A:

Like there's almost nothing left to it.

Speaker A:

But there's still some there.

Speaker A:

So now there was this.

Speaker A:

That we're connect to.

Speaker A:

But that's not the true aura that's giving to the world.

Speaker A:

So where does the true come from?

Speaker A:

It's a navar that the infuses into the world now.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And he's going to explain where does this are come from.

Speaker A:

This is a R which is directly.

Speaker A:

This is a.

Speaker A:

That comes from the surrounding.

Speaker A:

And how does this come in?

Speaker A:

So it's almost like.

Speaker A:

Imagine there's a circle and you take almost like a.

Speaker A:

Like a straw.

Speaker A:

You like almost like, you know, like the picture of like I think orange juice containers.

Speaker A:

The orange juice with exactly the striped straw that kind of like sticks in the middle that's sticking out.

Speaker A:

So it's almost like you have this straw sticking in.

Speaker A:

It goes halfway in, doesn't go fully and just goes to the middle and it's through there.

Speaker A:

The fuses or you know puts it infuses a level of R. And that's what gives an R, because the comes from the.

Speaker A:

From the.

Speaker A:

It infuses or into this world.

Speaker A:

And he'll explain a little bit.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So it infuses this.

Speaker A:

Just a spark of art.

Speaker A:

In a straight line in the idea of like a D, like a picture of a line.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And this is kind of giving a R within this Rashima within this Roshan, the Ro that was left.

Speaker A:

It kind of is infusing this.

Speaker A:

This auror within this area, which is like the Nishama, which is.

Speaker A:

It's like an Ashama Bis.

Speaker A:

You have a go and you need to infuse it with vitality.

Speaker A:

Life.

Speaker A:

That's like the showman.

Speaker A:

That's what this R is.

Speaker A:

And is where the goes into the whole world.

Speaker A:

Here I see all the four levels of the world, which we'll talk about much later on.

Speaker A:

The entire world.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Everything.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Everything.

Speaker A:

That's what gives Khalis to everything.

Speaker A:

Even Iran, which doesn't have any khiz.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

It's a domim.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And Alphabet.

Speaker A:

There's Khalis and everything.

Speaker A:

This line, this striped straw going into the orange that it is going into the makamakal, into the space.

Speaker A:

It doesn't go.

Speaker A:

It goes to the middle.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And it shoots in R there.

Speaker A:

So what would happen?

Speaker A:

Imagine you have this straw going through.

Speaker A:

And it doesn't just stop in the middle so you can suck out the juice in the middle of the orange, but it goes through all the way to the other side.

Speaker A:

So at that point, it's like.

Speaker A:

It's almost like.

Speaker A:

Obviously it's not a great muscle.

Speaker A:

Honestly, I think.

Speaker A:

I think that's understood.

Speaker A:

But it's almost like what's going to end up happening.

Speaker A:

It's going to connecting to the R on the other side.

Speaker A:

The purpose of this is kind of putting in, so to speak, infusing a little bit of art into this world.

Speaker A:

Once it connects to this R on the other side, then first of all it's going to be lost.

Speaker A:

It's going to become like bottle in some kind, but it's also going to be nullified.

Speaker A:

We're not gonna be able to handle that.

Speaker A:

So we're gonna lose the.

Speaker A:

It's gonna lose that purpose.

Speaker A:

Not only that, he says this, this straw.

Speaker A:

So it obviously can't be so such a good muscle because that straw is a similar size the entire time.

Speaker A:

So the mushroom that we're talking about, this car is not.

Speaker A:

It's wider on the top.

Speaker A:

So you have.

Speaker A:

It's almost like Like a tube.

Speaker A:

It's like a funnel.

Speaker A:

It's funneling down.

Speaker A:

It's wider at the top because there's a lot of ore in the top.

Speaker A:

Until it becomes much more narrow at the bottom.

Speaker A:

Becomes a much smaller amount of art.

Speaker A:

It's another concept, another term that's like all these terms.

Speaker A:

I don't know about that one and this one, they bolden.

Speaker A:

They make bold.

Speaker A:

Like, any of these positions.

Speaker A:

Specific terms.

Speaker A:

This one, we're barely.

Speaker A:

We're not.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

But it's this term of Adam Kadon, and he says it's the Russia gave us all of cook.

Speaker A:

Why Even, like, a body, the person.

Speaker A:

So it starts.

Speaker A:

I mean, obviously, the head is thinner, but it's wider and it narrows.

Speaker A:

But in terms of, like, the godless, you have from the greatest part, and it kind of slowly channels down like.

Speaker A:

Like a funnel.

Speaker A:

Just like the, you know, the stance of a.

Speaker A:

Of a person.

Speaker A:

It's the same thing that it's wider and it gets more narrow.

Speaker A:

Okay, fine.

Speaker A:

Maybe we'll stop here so I can try to catch my.

Speaker A:

And then, like I said, we're going to the next pair.

Speaker A:

The rest of this.

Speaker A:

The next one will go a little fast, and then we'll slow down a little bit, because then we get into more of like.

Speaker A:

Like actual.

Speaker A:

Like, real meat.

Speaker A:

Potatoes.

Speaker A:

I mean, this meat and potatoes also, but, yeah.
