Mayim Rabim part 5 - Past, future and your purpose · Food for the Soul

0:01
Okay, so good morning everyone. We are having a very exciting class today. Why very exciting?
0:09
Because it's going to challenge what you know about time and place, about past, present and future,
0:18
and about your importance in the chain of creation and the purpose of the world.
0:28
missing a few girls today everyone's having a virus or something yeah it's
0:36
getting cold it's getting cold so I want gear up so we spoke yesterday about
0:42
Cedric Talselot about the chain of creation about the superiority of the
0:52
Jew over the world and we have left over the question how is it possible that
1:01
there's going to be an upgrade for the Neshama which is over the union with
1:04
Hashem if the purpose of creation and the maim rabbim and the waters is to
1:10
raise the ark remember the waters need to raise the ark meaning the great
1:15
flood will take the Jew from being a tzadik to being very good from
1:26
from being a Tadik and a Shamat to being a Bal Chuvan, meaning you get an upgrade, an elevation
1:33
through the challenges, we're wondering, one second, aren't the Nishamot rooted in Hashem's
1:38
essence? Aren't the Nishamot one with God? If they're one with God, where is there to
1:42
go up to? Right? You fell asleep last night with this question or you couldn't fall
1:50
asleep as possible? You slept calmly. It means the question doesn't bother you
1:55
I have a question where we're up, we're higher.
2:01
Even higher than God?
2:03
No, even higher, we're up smooth.
2:07
Okay.
2:08
But because you explained yesterday that Neshama, after this wall, they're coming even higher.
2:16
Right, that's the question, they were left off. Where does it go? That's exactly it.
2:20
That's how we try to understand.
2:22
Where is there an elevation that happens
2:25
to our action down here?
2:27
Like why should, it's almost like,
2:29
what's happening, what do we benefit
2:31
by creating a world, by having physical Neshamot
2:34
and by doing our work here properly?
2:37
So, let's be together, go through it.
2:40
Everyone has the copies, if not,
2:42
then we have a few more copies here in the front.
2:45
Chapter five, behold page one out of 10.
2:55
Yes, from chapter 5. Behold, the source of the soul is in God's essence, which transcends all revealed levels.
3:05
Right? That much we know. That's how we spent all our class yesterday on.
3:11
Remember that the Neshama is sourced. It's not, it wasn't created there. It's created way below.
3:18
It's created through the whole encapsulation, through the process of
3:22
of bria, yetzirah, siyah, revealing the neshama slowly but surely into a creation that could
3:30
come down to this world.
3:32
But the source of the neshama is way higher, where it's initiated.
3:40
Let's flip the page.
3:42
This is also, we're flipping the page and we continue.
3:49
This is also evident from our sages' statement, with whom did he consult, regarding the creation
3:56
of the world, with the soul of the righteous.
3:59
That's very interesting.
4:01
You know what?
4:02
There's something called consulting companies, there's people that, you know, there's companies
4:05
where when you want to have a consultation, you pay them money and they tell you advice.
4:11
This you should do this, you should do that.
4:13
That's how you should grow your business.
4:14
That's how you make it more profitable, etc.
4:19
And Hashem wanted to create the world, he couldn't decide, let's say.
4:25
And then he wanted to ask someone if it's a good idea.
4:29
Who did he ask?
4:30
Yeah.
4:37
But like, what?
4:38
Very good.
4:39
So first of all, we have someone here who knows how to look inside.
4:44
But how do they, how do they answer?
4:47
Very good, very good question.
4:51
says that he consulted with the souls of the righteous. In parentheses we'll see
4:59
that we're only Shabbat of Tadikim. Don't worry, like, yes.
5:05
I respect that Hashem created this. Maybe I got this one like sin, like that, before He created the world.
5:14
Technically, there could be, I could tell you, a Toh who was prior to Tikkun.
5:20
When they say Hashem created this before that, there's a lot of levels.
5:24
levels. Who was born first? Yaakov or Yisab? Who was initiated first? Who was conceived first?
5:35
Who was the purpose of it? Yaakov. Right? Right with the tube and the bowls. So it's evident
5:44
that we are one with Hashem and united with Hashem's essence. And before He created the world,
5:50
before He created means, look at this, this consultation of God with the Jewish people
5:56
concerned even the highest revelations of godliness.
6:01
So we're not talking like, oh, Shem consulted about, after he created the souls,
6:06
he decided should we make the trees green or pink? And then the Shem outside green.
6:12
No, it was the consultation was on the initial creation of this entire,
6:19
of creating anything. For even these sublime revelations of light come into being because
6:30
of God's will. He's not having forbid, compelled to reveal them. So the consultation everything Hashem
6:36
created is complete free will. He had to choose it and he chose it and he chose it
6:48
because he consulted with the Jewish Neshama. Okay now that's very interesting because ultimately
6:58
the Neshama will be also created and will come down to this world and will
7:04
he'll enjoy their company and furthermore if we're just so sorry I need your
7:18
focus with me so I'll stay in focus when I see your focus. Why did Hashem create the
7:24
world? He wanted to consult with someone if to do it or not. He
7:27
consulted with the Nishamot. From here we have proof that the Nishamot are
7:31
rooted within himself. It's he with himself but there was
7:38
something like higher than the entire world higher than the entire creation is the Jewish Neshamat.
7:45
Now this is just to finalize thus it could be concluded that the souls with whom God consulted
7:52
are above all levels of revelation. Any revelation any creation anything that will come the souls
7:59
of the Jews came before that. Now we need to understand nevertheless we're on page three
8:09
out of ten for those who just joined? Okay? Nevertheless, it is possible to say
8:19
that through chuvah, resulting from their descent to this physical plane, the souls
8:25
of the Jewish people are able to ascend even higher than the level on which
8:29
they existed in their source. As we'll see. Okay? So far, simple, clear. What
8:37
we explained until now we're one with God. Now I have a question or more like it
8:46
was a Haia's question. How did he consult with the Nishamot if they weren't
8:53
created yet? Did God create Jewish people? Did he create sparks for each one
9:05
of us to have an ashamah yeah you know it's a spark like a little ashamah for
9:11
you now how we're there it's like can I consult with my son about having a child
9:21
imagine you don't have kids and you want to know if two years of kids are
9:25
not of kids so let's ask our children what do you mean ask our children today
9:31
by the way people want to have a second kid they asked the first kid if it's
9:35
okay with him. Nonsense. A three-year-old will decide who do you think you are and if he says no,
9:43
so what? There are no questions needed. Time for another day. But how could it be that Hashem
9:53
consulted with Hashem about having the world? So if we say they were there before, so they
10:01
were created after. So the maggot of Mizritch, have you heard of him? The maggot of Mizritch,
10:13
he was the main student and successor of the Baal Shemtov. He took the Baal Shemtov's work from
10:22
being like a trend into being a systematic organization. Okay, that was his job. He had
10:29
a lot of students, the altar rabbi, the founder of Chabad was one of the market's students.
10:34
So the market is going to give now an explanation on an example and based on that example we'll
10:44
try to explain the upgrade and this contradiction of the Neshavot before the world was created
10:53
or after the world was created. Now hint and that's what's going to get a little complex
10:58
spoiler, Hashem is not limited to time. By him, the future, the present, and the past,
11:09
I want, right? Hashem Hayyarovayvayyeh. We are limited to now, soon, later, earlier,
11:21
before, after. The child was born, the child was not born. Technically, by Hashem,
11:27
could console with the baby or with the child before the child was created why so
11:37
if the child will be ultimately created then I could console with him before
11:44
once I can let this let this sink for a moment there was no concept of time
11:52
understood I shouldn't technically also now this doesn't exist the concept of
11:57
time so the before and the after are one okay remember this this is going to be
12:06
a certain fundamental key for our understanding that the before and after
12:11
don't make such a difference not such a don't make a difference at all well run
12:18
into other questions once we once we hit that but like that's the
12:21
direction we had it okay so bear with me let's go around and do some reading
12:26
all of you. So we have Shirin. Do you want to read for us this concept? Each one do one
12:36
paragraph starting around here. This concept, are you going to be reading in English?
12:40
Chapter 3 out of 10 in the middle. This concept.
12:45
This concept can be explained on the basis of the interpretation of our statement.
12:52
So there is a phrase here it's called Israel arose and God's thought that Jews came up in God's mind
13:06
the maggot of miss rich is explaining something on this
13:10
Alison the maggot
13:17
Even when the son has departed from his father's presence his image is still engraved in his father's mind
13:22
So, when God wants to create the human in the sixth day of Barasit, He tells the Malachim,
13:32
Naase Adam, Bezalmenu, Kibbutenu, let's make a man in our image.
13:40
What do you mean?
13:41
There's no image of God.
13:42
What do you mean?
13:44
Hashem makes a human in the image of God.
13:47
Do you understand the question?
13:53
God says, let's make humans in my image.
13:56
Yes, we are showing like God. What do we have in common with Hashem?
14:04
What? Okay, first of all, ten points on that. You are saying very well that there is a certain
14:12
concept that Jews are a reflection of their Creator. Very well said. Yes, there are certain things that
14:18
Hashem has. We also have, Hashem is kind, we are kind, Hashem is chesed, we have chesed.
14:22
Hashem has Tansfirot. We have Tansfirot. But the Maghrib takes it a little further.
14:30
He says, what's the meaning in our image? In the image I have in my mind of my children?
14:41
The analogy is the following. The Maghrib, look at this. A person who has a son, right?
14:48
right? someone has a baby. even when the son has departed from his father's presence
14:53
his image is still engraved in his father's mind. parents cannot forget the children.
15:01
they're part of their being, almost, mentally. right? i saw the baby, i saw the kid, now the
15:07
kid left. grew up. so it's not around anymore. can he leave my mind? no. is it like the same
15:17
where I saw a movie and I can't forget the movie no why not no another meal the
15:30
same way I saw a tree of art whatever it is real with the child is more than
15:35
this exactly and and he is part of you and he's in your image and it's part
15:42
you know you can't forget that it's engraved in your mind now by purple
15:50
my people and this is with the next paragraph let's continue around with
15:55
Rivka with regard to a father
16:09
oh so we see here the what this only applies to a father after he has a son
16:15
if he doesn't have a son could you have the image of a son in his mind no why
16:21
because he doesn't have a son yet. Very good. But now Esther is going to be
16:29
asked the next paragraph. You're going to see by the way Gartosh, you're going to ask her, right?
16:36
Okay.
16:48
Very good. With Hashem, I could say that the kid was engraved in the father's mind
16:53
even before the kid was created. Why? As implied, Sheila. Sheila. Okay, go ahead. As implied,
17:05
As in fiber, stages, statement, Israel across, rose and God's God.
17:12
He thought of them even before they actually came into being.
17:16
Do another one.
17:17
Because with regard to Him, the past and the future are the same.
17:23
So I could only think of my son after the son was created.
17:29
And we have a relationship.
17:31
Why? Because, but by Hashem, because the past and the future are the same, and I need you to have this.
17:40
This is tremendous. Because the past and the future are one, he could conceive, he could create a child in the image of the child that he handed his mind from before.
17:52
Because by Hashem, the future and the past are one, Hashem could think about the Jews before the Jews are created as if they already exist.
18:07
He was able to consult with the Jewish people about yes, creating the world and not creating the world.
18:13
Because it doesn't make a difference that they weren't created yet.
18:19
They will be created, so ultimately wants to be created and before there's no difference,
18:26
there's no before and after, there's no time.
18:29
So the same with the father and the child that the father could think about his child
18:34
and be one with him in his mind after he was created, by Hashem it doesn't make
18:40
any difference if he was created yet or not created, right?
18:43
He could be easy, you're in his mind even before that.
18:47
It's like it's very strange, Hashem made creation and after he decided to ask creation, like it's okay if I will create or what.
18:57
No, he didn't make creation.
18:59
But I mean...
19:00
He didn't, he asked, he first asked.
19:03
Yes, but before he had to put, like, who? How?
19:07
It was not before, it was, it was, it was technically before.
19:11
Proved that it was after, it was not after, it was before.
19:13
It's for us. It's after before because we have the time. For Hashem, like in our mind, he made the creation, he made the souls, and after he made, he asked them, like, should I crave you or...?
19:28
You're right. That's where it's obviously the before and after. That's why we don't understand that fully, but we totally could get how it could be by Hashem.
19:38
him, he could sort the within the shammut that before you also hear them in mind and
19:43
even more he created us in the image based on what he knew we're going to look like imagine
19:52
you could like when the baby is born you could already have a picture of him ready.
19:57
Hey this is you like that's how we that's how you're going to be imagine you could
20:02
order a child based on what they know I want him to look like or what he will look
20:06
like there's a there's a sign that like I have hanging up in my house it's like
20:12
if you want what you have you always have what you want if you want what you
20:19
already have then you always have what you want right because you if you want
20:27
let's say I want coffee and I already have coffee so I have what I want right
20:33
so I'm saying by a said technically he creates what he wants he wants what
20:39
he has because the before and the after don't make a difference okay this is
20:42
something you need to like you know process the mind but this is this is the
20:46
key answer to the magi that's the maggots revelation on this topic the maggots
20:54
says Israel a lot of other people came up in the shem's mind and he created us
20:58
in his image based on what he knew us before where this is going is going
21:26
to be very interesting and I hope we'll manage to go through the words
21:30
first going to try to like explain it in the theory and then we're going to try to see it inside.
21:59
You are asking Sarah, you said that let's see we are a reflection of what God wanted,
22:09
God wanted the world, God wanted Nishamur and then he made us more physical,
22:13
more physical till he created the word down here, right? That's how we usually think about
22:17
creation that Hashem had was spiritual and then he wanted something physical so he kept
22:24
on making it lower and lower till he created the world down here. But really what he wanted
22:31
is it to be more spiritual. Technically he had to make it physical on the way. I have
22:38
surprise for you. Why do we exist spiritually in God's essence? Because he
22:49
desired the existence of the physical Jew. By a human being I first have the
23:03
idea of the house in my head, then I put it on paper, then I built the physical
23:08
house right so what came first almost the idea but by in a certain way I don't
23:16
care about the idea I care about the house because I want the physical house
23:21
the idea comes up in my mind right so what became first the idea for the house
23:30
of the physical house technically the physical house is first in an
23:37
importance because this is this is what I'm really talking about the fact
23:41
that the house is also on the paper and also in my mind or my idea, it's secondary.
23:48
I say, what do you mean? It's so one with me to wanting to be married or wanting to have a house.
23:55
It's part of you because there's a physical other, there's a real end result.
24:02
That what causes you to have it engraved in your mind, technically will limit it to time.
24:09
So by us, the idea comes first and then the physical outcome.
24:12
By Hashem, because there is a physical world, that's what he desired it the way it is.
24:18
I need your focus because if we get distracted with like phones and notifications then the great
24:23
waters will win. And we know they came to him because our sources are rooted in asthma.
24:29
And that's the essence of Hashem. And why did he give us the phones so we could get elevated?
24:35
How could he get elevated? First we need to know that we were rooted in Hashem's
24:40
essence. Why were we rooted in Hashem's essence? Because he saw us physically down
24:44
here in this class in Makhon Kana at 9 a.m. sitting and struggling with our
24:48
phones. This is what he wanted. That's why he created... no that's why that's
24:55
what he desired. He desired the end result and then he came up with it
25:00
in his mind. So, if you want to rephrase the consultation, it wasn't like a meeting, God like
25:12
has a meeting with Dineshamud, what do you think? I think this, it was more like the consultation
25:18
was that arouse before him the pleasure that he will receive from Dineshamud serving him down
25:31
here. He felt that the pleasure that he's going to have from the Jews serving him and that would
25:40
convince him to create the world. That's basically the consultation. It was like,
25:45
he didn't just ask us. He envisioned what would it be like to have us serving him
25:52
from this physical world and he realized that that's going to bring him pleasure.
25:55
So he created us. You can see what he means. How did he feel the pleasure we're going to do
26:03
that we're gonna serve him how we're gonna serve him and to make it to make
26:08
your minds explode how did he know that we're actually gonna serve him that's
26:14
the biggest question if he didn't create us yet and we didn't actually serve him
26:19
and he's not sure that we will serve him it's more like a question mark like
26:30
test drive is saying that goes like a spark so so we see the past and the
26:35
present are one so it's not the world wasn't actually created yet it's more
26:43
that the image was engraved in his thought so the world wasn't created was
26:49
like before because the past of the future are one he could have the vision
26:54
and the pleasure of the world engraved in his mind before the world
26:59
was actually created before before the world was created and that's why he created it imagine
27:11
you'd be able to know how much fun it is to have this to a to a to have this child so
27:18
you want to have the kid because you know what the child will be like so then that's
27:26
why that then you come up with a desire for it right now we don't know we don't have
27:32
engraved in our minds yet. It's not the theory. You got this idea? The point of the Maghid,
27:45
the vart, vart as in Yiddish means a word, but it also means like the idea. The idea of the Maghid
27:52
that the Jews are ruler of the Nashem before they were created. Do we have this in mind
27:57
for a moment? Could we press command S, save it, register it? Okay, yes. If not, I'll explain
28:07
further that the Jew is rooted in God's mind and he consulted with the Jew before the Jew was created
28:17
is that possible because the past and the future are one and God felt that the desire is going to
28:22
get from Jewish people and that's why he came up with the desire to create the world.
28:29
Not that he first desired and then created, the desire came about because the creation
28:37
was there. What was the difference of wanting pizza when you have the pizza in front of you
28:47
or wanting the pizza when you don't have the pizza in front of you? Sometimes you're not in the mood
28:51
of pizza but if it's going to be hot pizza then you desire it. You know what I'm talking about?
28:57
You like pizza? Sushi? I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, pizza is good.
29:02
So imagine you see a hot pizza in front of you. You didn't plant a pizza. You didn't
29:08
didn't want pizza now, but the pizza is here. So now I want it. There's two ways.
29:13
Either I want pizza then I go buy pizza or I see the pizza then I want it. What
29:19
happened by Hashem? Hashem wanted the Jewish people and then he decided to
29:22
create them or did Hashem enjoy and see the Jewish people in front of him and
29:26
then he desired them. What's the difference between the two? The
29:32
difference is what was the, what were we originally spiritual and then
29:37
the physical is just like a satisfaction of it of this is the original purpose this is the source
29:42
of everything this is the purpose for creating the world it was much more like to force the pizza
29:49
than the than the desire because by a chance the pizza doesn't need to exist for him to desire it
29:55
based on the pizza i shouldn't smell the pizza without the pizza being there but before he
30:07
she has had the thoughts about pizza, how it can be.
30:14
Because the pizza won't be created.
30:16
Because there's no time.
30:17
There's no time, so technically the pizza will be there.
30:21
So this can be the Tashem in the same time and have idea and create the pizza.
30:28
Yeah, obviously there was no definition of time, so that's why the pizza was there.
30:31
could we could definitely assume that with us being here you sitting in this
30:37
class right now Hashem knew that and he saw you sitting here.
30:40
Quantum physics has an idea about that, quantum physics talks about that, about time being a variable.
30:48
Yeah, like we as humans see things linear but that's not how it really is.
30:53
True, it's...
31:00
It's all beyond understanding to get that but like we could get the theory.
31:03
You're going to send the theory? So far so good, right?
31:14
Now, it didn't help us yet to understand our core question.
31:18
Our core question was, why do we benefit from actually creating the world,
31:26
having a physical world practically, and the Shema going down and struggling.
31:33
So let's get to that, okay? That's really a little bit inside and we're
31:36
going to get back to that shortly. So from this is understood,
31:41
Let's continue with Miriam.
31:43
Yes, it is understood in the statement that the souls of the Jewish people have a very
31:48
commercial essence and he consulted with them.
31:51
Compared to the souls that they exist as pretty humans and they come to this world.
31:56
So it means that the consultation was now with like a theoretical version of you,
32:02
whether with a practical, physical, down-to-earth version of Yone Shama.
32:07
Let's continue.
32:12
It is Chaya, page 5 right in the middle of the page. It is just that this image.
32:22
It wasn't charged to me yet.
32:25
By the way, I go by order. More or less.
32:29
It is just that this image was also engraved in his cloth. It is possible because for him, the past and the future are the same.
32:36
One more?
32:37
The interpretation of the teaching with whom did he consult is well known.
32:41
The what? That it's not that it didn't consult that we usually employ the term rather instead Sarah
33:02
So many times when I tell you that Hashem created everything and there's a spiritual source for everything
33:09
What do we think? Oh, there's a table, but really the table is not a table. It's a godly energy, right?
33:16
So the first there was a godly energy and then there was God's will to create a table and then the table was created
33:24
So I have a surprise for you. It's the opposite
33:27
First there was a chicken and then God wanted the chicken. What was first the chicken or the egg?
33:33
the chicken because if not for the chicken we would not create an egg if I
33:42
wouldn't know and I don't care what happened practically first does not
33:46
relevant to me right now what matters to me most is that I know that there's an
33:49
end result and that's what mattered first Hashem saw the table then God made
33:55
a whole chain of creation to have to have that happen it said that it was
34:01
first a desire and then it is in the light and it was noted this physical
34:06
down here. This is the emphasis we're saying here. Technically it was also in
34:10
his mind before it was actually physically created because the past and the
34:13
future are what. So the consultation wasn't the consultation. It was a vivid
34:19
vision and reality that God saw in front of him, of the Jewish people serving him
34:25
and he felt the pleasure he's gonna have from them. So he created us.
34:33
Okay? Now, this is where it gets deep. God felt the pleasure from the world and
35:07
from the Jews serving him. Before the war was created, you have a question mark on
35:14
your face. If God felt the pleasure that he's going to derive from Jewish
35:20
people in the world and from you and the Shema listening to this shiur right
35:26
now God felt that right and that's why he decided to create us I have a question to
35:33
you why did he create us if he already felt it if he technically had the Jews
35:41
in his mind before the world was created why do you need to create them if
35:47
everything existed in the potential before why do we have to go through this
35:53
physical world that actually exists technically we could have skipped a
35:59
step. So imagine you could have the pizza, you could desire it so you don't
36:06
the pizza in front of you to inspire to desire it or to eat it because you
36:10
already enjoyed it. Imagine you'd be able to feel the satisfaction from after
36:16
you ate before you ate, so why eat? Right? That will be great for a woman. No?
36:23
We're trying to. Imagine you could feel the pleasure of having the cookie
36:28
Without eating the cookie, so why eat the cookie?
36:31
It doesn't work because if you desire something, okay, in future you eat it, so now you feel this wow, so you don't eat it because you already don't want it.
36:49
So you eat this and feel it.
36:52
Right, I hear you, you're saying it's a bit of a loop because if I'm not going to eat the cookie ultimately, then what you're actively, I never enjoyed it.
36:59
but it's not a limitation so so so you're saying right you're saying right so
37:05
by by Hashem we're gonna learn about the concept that says that potential doesn't
37:13
need actualization but the actualization where's the girl from yesterday
37:18
she said where you said she's not here she came one time we have an open
37:24
university people come listen go I think she's only here for a few days yeah okay no no she came
37:30
she mentioned yesterday something interesting she said ultimately what's the upgrade that
37:35
Shamuk benefited from being created is that before it was a theory and then it became practical
37:43
so we almost if we look at the Shem's process of creation we will realize that it had to be
37:49
physical for this loop to close only through actually creating them through
37:58
ultimately yes eating the cookie then the pleasure at the beginning would have
38:03
been fulfilled now it's not that God couldn't have figured out without it but
38:08
we realize that the actual and the in the in the theory the actual and the
38:17
theory are our two different levels because with the potential it's not
38:25
gonna be accomplished yet. So God knowing that the Neshamat will serve him is not
38:33
enough. The Neshamat serving God in this world where to act when we now listen
38:40
to Hashem and we bring him pleasure this is the pleasure he felt at the
38:44
beginning yeah maybe sit up a little more and then and then I said I'll enjoy
38:54
more this is what convinced him to create all of this is the first place so
39:00
you'd say oh and if I wouldn't then that would not be included in it but
39:05
obviously what he enjoyed back then is what you do now and you need to do it
39:13
now because if you don't do it then it it never happened almost it didn't happen
39:22
once you do it it happened once you do it you and your love you and you again
39:29
they both need to happen I can't have the future in the past if the future is
39:33
not gonna happen the future didn't exist in the past if the future is not
39:40
going to be actualized. That makes sense within our rational understanding. So Hashem's desire
39:50
and pleasure that he derived back then was accomplished and filled through the action,
40:00
the potential becomes realized. So let's see this inside. You understood the theory?
40:17
We're saying, oh, sorry, sorry, the punch line is that the upgrade that the Neshamat
40:25
get within Godliness, because they were there before, so what happened, what did we benefit
40:32
through going down and coming up, turning from Sadikim to Baal-e-Chuva, that this was
40:40
potential and this is practical.
40:42
It's the actualization of the potential.
40:46
was a potential, once you go down to the world and you return to Hashem, then the
40:52
Shema gets a full upgrade, not necessarily in a higher level, but it's, it
40:57
actually happened. And there's no doubt that eating the cookie is more
41:02
significant than the pleasure that arriving from eating the
41:05
cookie, because you would not have the desire and the pleasure without the
41:09
actualization.
41:15
What does that mean?
41:19
Yeah, it has it must be it must come to the practical
41:26
So technically you
41:34
struggling in this world in
41:36
this physical plane is
41:41
higher
41:43
Then the Nishama United with God
41:48
Being godly because there it was not actualized. Maybe he derived. Maybe you know what?
41:53
Maybe he had more fun with the Nishamot back then, but he didn't have a pizza.
42:01
We had a pizza.
42:04
Why is us struggling the same thing?
42:09
Because the reason he came up with the Nishamot was that he felt the desire that we were going to bring him through a service in a disconnected place.
42:18
It says that he consulted with the souls of the righteous, remember you said the righteous?
42:28
Why the righteous?
42:30
Now we consult with the Neshamat of the Balei Chuvah, because all the Neshamat of the righteous
42:34
as they were righteous, we by the way all of us we exist on a higher plane also as
42:38
Neshamat somewhere high up there in the potential of us.
42:42
The mini version of us spiritually, we are a manifestation of that.
42:49
But ultimately we are the actual version.
42:51
whatever we do, that's what happened in the past. That's what ultimately brings
42:57
the pleasure and brings the potential of the world to an
43:01
actualization. So we could link back to it when we struggle and say, hey, what do
43:06
you mean, you know? Tiktok, you know who I am? I'm rooted in Hashem's essence. You
43:11
have no way to extinguish me. You have no way to win me. And you
43:16
know what? Hashem sent me down to this world to struggle with you, to
43:20
actualize and show the purpose of the whole creation through that. Now it is a
43:33
big topic if potential needs actualization to be complete because if
43:40
it doesn't... so what we stated right now is that potential is not the same
43:47
without actual. Potential without creation is not the same. The soul of the Jew
43:56
by Hashem and the soul after we come to this world, not the same. It's much higher and much better
44:00
when it came down. Okay? This is on and on what we're basically saying, that there's a great
44:08
tremendous benefit and change through the actual physical parentheses. And that could be a homework
44:14
or that could be a lifelong journey to try to explore that. But Chassidot explains that
44:19
in length. Technically, what we're saying here, that without creating the world, Hashem was
44:24
incomplete because they had the potential of creating a world but it didn't
44:30
actually create it, right? So was the shem lacking something? Lacking, missing.
44:38
Was the shem not having something until he created the world? Was he like 60%
44:44
90% 90% 95% how like was he like 99% completely created the world to be like
44:50
he was missing something or was he it was everything all the but it's a
44:55
A theological question is discussed and explained that it's not a problem.
45:01
It's not a, what?
45:06
I didn't ask any question, sorry.
45:08
Oh, that Hashem doesn't miss anything.
45:12
Of course he doesn't miss anything.
45:13
So why did he create the world?
45:15
For pleasure.
45:16
So he was missing pleasure?
45:20
Because he loves us.
45:22
Okay, so he was loving us and he couldn't express it.
45:25
By the way, it's a very correct answer according to some interpretations
45:30
wanted to do good to the creations but other reasons what yeah no this is a
45:39
this is the topic on its own I didn't really want to go into this we had that
45:46
but we once went through it so so so there are I would say three or four
45:53
different main opinions why God created the world and each one has a problem
45:58
because to love the world he didn't need to have us physical he could have
46:01
created angels and show them his love.
46:04
But Hashem didn't have the measure after taking the pizza.
46:09
OK, so that's, so there was a, so it's a different reason.
46:12
I'm just answering you for a second that love was not the ultimate answer
46:16
because for love he doesn't need me and you to struggle with
46:19
money and go work. For that he could have created
46:23
angels and show them love and send them hugs all day.
46:27
love emojis you know that's not uh that's not why he needs a physical disconnected world
46:35
let's see this inside because i want to wrap this up before Shabbat comes
46:38
we could say also a little longer but like let's try to get within the time that we have
46:41
to finish it okay Emma the we left here on this basis yes on this basis
46:52
On this basis, the ascent achieved by the soul through their descendant to the physical
47:00
plane can be explained even though before their descendant the souls were also rooted
47:06
in Hashem's essence.
47:07
Okay, so now through this we'll be able to understand what upgrade the souls achieve
47:12
through going down to the physical world even though before that they were also
47:16
rooted in Hashem's essence.
47:17
Right?
47:18
That was the core question.
47:19
Continue by Aviva.
47:20
The reason we're talking with them is because of his knowledge that on the main, they want to sign a new physical claim and they'll go back and forth.
47:31
Do you get this?
47:33
It's tremendous. The upgrade happens through us being created because we were there in Hashem's essence in the first place because we'll be created.
47:42
we have to go down and be physical creations because if we're not gonna be
47:50
physical creations we won't be originally rooted in Hashem's essence
47:55
because the only reason he desired us in the first place is because we will make
48:02
it's like imagine I want to marry someone because she makes great cookies or
48:06
makes great khala and then I marry her and she doesn't make great khala so I
48:10
I don't want to have married you in the first place.
48:15
The only reason we're rooted in Hashem's essence
48:18
is because Hashem desired a physical Maryam
48:24
with the Galdi and Hashem inside.
48:26
That's what he desired.
48:27
That's why we're one with him.
48:29
That's the reason he started this whole project of creation.
48:32
That's why we're higher than everything.
48:33
That's what he wanted.
48:34
So if he's not gonna ultimately create you physically
48:36
down here, then in the first place
48:39
he doesn't, you're not rooted in his essence.
48:45
If you're not going to be a physical you and a spiritual you and a physical you, then there's no point in this whole...
48:53
We were never the first place we were in Hashem's essence.
48:57
It's imagine like I have the vision of my son in my mind that how he's going to be born,
49:04
but if he's not going to be born then I never had him in my mind.
49:07
We said that the father has the image of a son in his brain by humans only after he's born.
49:23
by Hashem also before he was born right but even by Hashem if the son will not
49:29
ultimately be born was it ever in his mind yeah yeah no because it's not it
49:37
was only in his mind because the past in the future are one but if the future is
49:43
not gonna happen then the past didn't didn't have it included in it right
49:49
because it's the same. We don't understand very well. We do understand beautifully. We're saying
49:59
that if you're not going to complete the mission and the desire of God in this physical world,
50:04
by you being physical down here and the Shabbat would not have been created, then what did Hashem
50:10
desire at the first place? He desired what's going to happen. And if it's not going to
50:15
ultimately happen if there's gonna be an error or I don't know what, the
50:21
problem on the way in the creation then he didn't desire it in the first place
50:25
because it can't be that he desired in the past, sometimes it's gonna happen in the
50:28
future. It must have happened physically in this world. So only when you
50:36
listen and you do what Hashem desired then did Hashem desire it in the
50:45
first place. Like only if you listen today to the
50:49
you and don't get distracted then Hashem wants to create the world because if you don't then what did
50:57
he desire so we are idea we're not idea we're we're the we're the result and the plan that's what so
51:06
cool about us okay but we're not just we're not just the actualization of the potential we're the
51:14
potential because there is the actualization because this is what he wanted the idea came
51:20
after there was a thing because you already we call we exist we're doing
51:26
it right now but like no that's exactly what we're saying it's different that's
51:35
because what we assume didn't come over there he the idea wasn't an idea first
51:39
it was first the house it's I didn't want to marry this girl just wanted
51:43
challah if she doesn't make me challah then I never want to marry it didn't
51:48
want to marry her in the first place what it wasn't okay now this is that we're
51:55
going to niche but let's say we can't dig in deeper in that why he originally
51:59
desired even found desire in there with the cause of your part that we don't
52:04
understand what we do know that this is what he desired and we know that we're
52:07
the actualization of that desire and without us doing that it wouldn't be
52:11
at the first place so obviously that's a tremendous upgrade that the Shama
52:16
has because it's not just an upgrade it's a make it it's a deal breaker if the
52:22
Neshama would not go down to this world then at the first reason Neshama would
52:26
not be rude in Neshama's essence and be a Tzaddik. Then Neshama would not be a Tzaddik
52:31
without you being about Shurah. I'm not gonna take more of your time think
52:36
Think about it. Okay? Think about it.
52:40
I just want to understand the struggle part. We'll talk about that next time.
52:44
We'll talk about it the next time.
