- 0:01Garden of knowledge. Shit.
- 0:02Number two, what we're being taught is to see everything that
- 0:07happens as a direct consequence of the will of Hashem.
- 0:12It's not that the Jews conquered Israel but rather it was the
- 0:16will of Hashem at a particular time in history that decided to
- 0:21shift control of the land of Israel from the Canaanites to
- 0:25another Nation to the Jewish people.
- 0:27And we pray that this should be the enduring.
- 0:32Will of Hashem. The Jewish people are living in
- 0:36their land. Think about seed of an apple
- 0:39within the seed are all the components of a future apple
- 0:42tree, its roots, its branches, the leaves and the fruit, even
- 0:46though the 10 foot tall tree with all its future yields of
- 0:51Apple, hundreds of thousands of apples are not apparent.
- 0:54When you look at a tiny little seed, all that potential for the
- 0:58seeds, grow into a huge tree, it's within the seed.
- 1:01Same goes for Creation the entire future of the universe is
- 1:05contained, within the Act of Creation from its beginning to
- 1:08its final day. When the vilna gaon.
- 1:14Explains. The all of Tara is contained
- 1:16within the Torah portion operations side.
- 1:19Wall of the tire is contained within the Tara portion of
- 1:21gracious. And the whole of breaches is
- 1:23contained within the first word delicious.
- 1:27It's saying like that's the seed that produces the future big
- 1:31tree. What's the next parsec?
- 1:37The Aria is, how is our total of over over the Earth was Apples,
- 1:40empty and dark and the Shams the spirit hovered over the face of
- 1:46the water. The Shem said, by your let,
- 1:47there be light, why he are and there was light.
- 1:53Think about this, this is a fantastic idea.
- 1:56What's the first spiritual principle of creation?
- 2:00That darkness comes before, light To relate to in the
- 2:05beginning. Everything was emptying in the
- 2:08original Hebrew chaotic, emptiness, total revolver, who
- 2:12would be a very good understanding of this craziness.
- 2:15There was only darkness and disorder but from this situation
- 2:20of darkness and disorder emerged, the first light of
- 2:23creation consequently, the end of each day, the Torah says, and
- 2:27there was evening and there was morning, the darkness always
- 2:29precedes, the light and Night comes before day.
- 2:33The principle of of manifest itself throughout creation a
- 2:37seed degenerates, before it germinates, an ugly cocoon
- 2:40precedes, the beautiful butterfly, but person throws the
- 2:43ball. He has to wind his arm backwards
- 2:45and then let's let the ball go forward.
- 2:48I must go back before it goes forward but the same token.
- 2:51The land of Israel has to be occupied by the idolatrous
- 2:54immoral canonic Nation. Before it became to the pipe for
- 2:59the Jewish people. A self was born before.
- 3:05Jakov in continuation of the darkness.
- 3:09Coming before the light, we find in creation at the outer husk,
- 3:13or peel comes before the fruit. Obviously, evil comfortable,
- 3:18good and pain comes before pleasure.
- 3:20Excruciating, labor, pains proceed, the joy of being
- 3:23blessed with in you born, baby. All the aspects above are the
- 3:27product of the Divine edict. And there was evening, the error
- 3:31by he Boca, we have the responsibility to learn how to
- 3:34live within the framework of the laws of creation.
- 3:37And if we don't, if you Want to jump directly to the light.
- 3:41We're going to find ourselves bitterly frustrated and
- 3:44disappointed to the point of losing our minds and potentially
- 3:47ruining our lives. Because all we want is to when
- 3:50corrupting the sequence that events have to follow.
- 3:55I'm gonna the pure and complete belief in God proceeds the
- 3:59intellect, just as darkness comes before.
- 4:02Light first, we must believe in only afterwards look for the
- 4:04logic of Any Given thing. When a person does the opposite
- 4:08and looks for logic before he believes, he goes against the
- 4:11first floor of creation as such understanding terrible.
- 4:16Way of logic without a Mona is impossible.
- 4:21There are laws of physics that we will understand and live by
- 4:24similarly there are Our laws of spirituality as well.
- 4:27The law of Emina, preceding. The intellect is no less, an
- 4:31ironclad, spiritual law of creation.
- 4:34Then cold Winters. And warm Summer's are a physical
- 4:37law of creation. and what's the purpose of creation is for all
- 4:43the creation to gain awareness of the creator of that shame is
- 4:47the king As the Zohar says, the purpose of creation is to know
- 4:51him since a mother has to come before knowledge and intellect
- 4:54and moment is the prerequisite of accomplishing a person's
- 4:57individual tasks on Earth. But for now, my friends have a
- 5:01great day.
