you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with already gold Wegg recorded
with the shrooms never-ending assistance
in remission Israel 57 79 2018
this week's partials partials value gosh
we have Yehuda Judah the Lion of the
brothers stepping forward toward yo safe
Yosef who is claiming that Benjamin has
stolen his silver goblet his magic
goblet and now he has to be his slave
and you who the steps up and there's a
challenge
- yo safe and in this coming together of
yo Savannah Judah which is sparked or it
comes about through Benjamin Benjamin so
huzzah
our sages see a cataclysmic coming
together of those who would be their
offspring
whether it's double hemella King David
she asked the Messiah who comes from
Judah or whether it's on the other side
of it yo Sigma she have been yo save the
Kings who would eventually come from
Joseph or from the sons of Rachel the
King show Saul who came also from
Benjamin I like to share with you an
amazing beautiful deep peace from a high
Friedlander once again and he says like
this Makkah see who the ratio safely the
foundational concept here they were
going to see which is very deep and
beautiful is that the idea who the
concept of Judah generally speaking his
leadership represents the leadership of
the mind the leadership of the
conscience of the conscience which
dwells
excuse me within the mind of the human
being that's the leadership of you who
dove and no safe on the other hand
represents the heart the heart the the
conscience that speaks from within the
heart of a person and we'll see how
these two different aspects of the human
being
play out how they interact with each
other and what is the ultimate goal and
how we are to bring them together here
we go
huzzah or say just say around Kaufman
Julio said they said about the argument
between Judah and Joseph king named
Elohim Noah do of reactive the verse
tells us it's a verse I believe in
Psalms the behold the kings
have come and they're coming together
keen MLF him who are these kings that
the verse is referring to the hooter BOC
if its reference to Judah and Joseph
Joseph Miller comments Ryan Joseph is
the king over Egypt over the nations of
the world view who dominic mela alcove
and Judah was dilute the leader the
ruler over his brothers overreacted with
his idea of of reactor which could mean
to pass together or could mean to have
anger together
Xena smiley ever I'll serve as Ennis
Valley eyebrows a major star shion's
that each one was filled with anger
toward the other one kasha even in there
was a very difficult and challenging
argument that was taking place between
them called Eklund is Malik as Oliveira
each one had anger at his friend hey
Monroe came
tamo verse says they saw and they were
in wonder at Milano she Michelle ray
whoo and the brothers it's a reference
to the brothers that they were watching
this interplay between Judah and Joseph
and they had to step back they couldn't
intervene because when we're talking
about leaders facing off with each other
the heart the head as we'll see so it's
something that we have to let it go we
have to let let it let's see what
happens okay so there's a lot of stuff
here this is a very long piece I'm not
going to read everything that's here I
like to I picked out the parts that are
to me the main idea the main concept
that I want to share okay janae Varma
but other Rachel ain't here I'm a lucky
mother autumn the head and the heart
just like we have Judah is a certain
aspect and the end Joseph is a different
aspect one is the head one is the heart
and they rule over the shot him over the
over the 12 tribes of the Jewish people
so - it's true in regards to each and
every individual the head and the heart
have a different role in the leadership
and the guidance of the human being
tomorrow a virus how darest a home LTS a
subview morale explains the definition
of what are these two different types of
two different aspects of the kingship of
Judah versus Joseph parish that my
Israelis came down out of the mascot the
idea here is
that the the Jewish nation the Israelite
nation are like as if we look at us we
look at the entire Jewish people so we
are an entire human being
Shh wish nemesis our Eve armed with 12
different limbs many of you doing you
know that there are 12 different limbs
and connect it your business - uh like a
negative base kahshanna
which correspond to the 12
constellations the 12 months of the year
the H bottom Schnee varam morale says
there there within a human being are
there are two specific limbs a melaka
markov arm that rule over all of the
other limbs of the human being a mirage
lave they are the head and the heart
when we speak of the heart so we're
speaking at the emotion the desire we
see inside of Hazael
the sages use the heart and you see many
times in verses the heart represents
that which motivates the person it's
sending blood to all the limbs of the of
the person but it's also the seat of
emotion he mouths we'll see who the
negative rush as we said the kingship of
Judah corresponds to the head okay they
see you who the gala be Rochelle verse
says and shoved him in judges chapter
one verse two that you who did shall go
up to the to the front to the top to the
head because she got Suez and kind of
Leaning explains the verse squishy guts
of them a shuttle but we were told me
alibi rush a should be who the yellow
rush they asked that were two men who
shall be the leader of the Jewish people
has to go out to war and the response
was that Jew goes out and he's in front
he's on the top yo safe Tommy do BAM so
we find that Joseph when when we speak
but just with me in the frame in Menasha
so he's always in the middle he's always
in the middle can I get her LAIV
corresponding to the heart she came to
in Savannah see him we find if we look
at the enumeration of the of the Nassim
the the princes of the tribes so they
brought their core bonus they brought
through their sacrifices when the
Mishkan was inaugurated and there's a
certain order there and the Newseum ovo
say we're in the middle i see a friend
am so done in the lave Shubham sodom
crime is in the middle which is like the
heart of a person which is in the middle
of the human being
and the recline says we can feel in
there how late who America is calling
upon Murdoch remove all this clipart the
heart is the center of all of the limits
and through the heart all of the limbs
are activated yo Dukie Hani Shama
hundred el estilo Maya the Marvel
continues and says we know that the soul
resides within the brain and I'm showing
you look you see I smell leaf the heart
is not as spiritual as as the mind the
soul is more is more spiritual than a
shaman aspect it doesn't explain this
part but I'll just add on here that
there's different aspects of soul and
shaman it's the highest aspect that we
have that resides within the human body
and then the shaman is here within the
brain inside of the mind the lowest
aspects really of the neshamah the Ruach
which is a lower level which animates
the human being the rua can spirit so
that's in the heart area and there's a
lower level which is called nephesh
which is the nefesh of muhammad's even
animals have that aspect of animation of
soul okay so so the higher level is the
mind and the lower level is the heart
and yet both are important of course how
did I shall our shaman beresch he sick
allowed them safe they'll Bellini goose
I'm feeling there explains that the
aspect of soul being in the mind is
speaking about the mind of a human being
without any biases she's Schaefer Carlos
orange shaman Mira LoDo Mila manga and
it desires to receive the light of the
soul just shining down from a person
from above as we said this is
classically the neshamah is found in the
place where the villain rest on the
forehead in the spot which is soft on a
baby when she co Sukesh a meeting -
we've got to swoon as the verse says God
will give wisdom from his mouth
understanding and knowledge her safely
shimon laden my last sight it's the mind
here we're speaking about is that which
in enjoins a person
directs a person what to do well I say
for a technician machine Angela says
cash - what I mean we're not speaking
about intellect which is able to figure
out calculations etc and I say phallic
key we're speaking about the spiritual
aspect of the intellect she muttered
casa da mama now they don't serve a
Buddhist notion that guides a person in
the service of God
the conscience confusion mandir is a
sacrificial Oberweis as la mesa lava
boys defines it
ah rahat Tyrese it's a shine of the
Torah he ours a sacral McLaren of Shama
which is a shine of this of the mind
through the power of the soul at the
Huayra which is pure silica kemal the
aspect of the human being which is godly
ashley a smash em it's like a Messenger
of God the Hydra has a autumn liner like
my shotty Ramirez which guides a person
in tells him that which the Torah says
okay so that's the aspect of mind now
let's talk about the aspect of heart
an unusual having me dwarf you can
understand from what the morale says
Susan climb Freelander online name
should be at some how late certainly
mush it Irish wasa say how the heart is
a power that needs to be drawn after the
power of the of the mind after the
effects or the the instruction of the
mind
colossal who yawning as her life the
mind needs director heart me a de
Navarre mhmm are al-sham associated with
he knows olive we also see that the
aspect of Yosef is the aspect of the
heart the aspect of emotion flameless
and when it comes to yo save so so the
idea of joseph is he's the perfect
person he's the person who's able to
withstand the wiles of the ISA Hara of
the evil inclination shoham LF who comes
from Benjamin also has that aspect
he's a very high level human being is a
great Sadiq or righteous individual so
he has a perfection shinozuka clash
motorcycle so you're safe so he
represents the highest aspect of the
heart that doesn't require the the
effects or the direction of the mind
okay so there's two aspects there's a
heart when it's not in its perfect state
which needs to be guided by the mind and
then there's a heart in its perfected
state and we'll see how the heart gets
to that state there's a heart in its
perfected state where it's it's able on
its own to direct the human being to
rule over the human being beer had varam
was idea America sheesh matzah mitsuko
fish man Salamis Sukkot morale is
teaching us that
there is a state which is rectified and
see which is not rectified Amato Masuka
me a circus ala v'shalom Muslim the
highest state of the heart is where the
heart is perfected Nucky Michael Nagila
Nagi's it's clean of any biases aquata
or it's completely pure Athena's a
Olivia logic facade them in such a in
such a fashion when it's in such a state
so then the heart of a person can direct
the person variously said their hanahuna
and direct them to the to the correct
path kakashi our label masses our feet
are in itself as a draw how big of a
circle so when the heart is purified so
it doesn't require the direction of the
mind who Bosnia mazda types the heart
embedded within the heart is an
awareness of what's correct again the
conscience and here were speaking about
the conscience of the heart as opposed
to the mind Bosnia Mazda to if it knows
itself what's right if you should hate
there's echelon Melek
as we find King Solomon in Ecclesiastes
in Kahala says chapter 1 verse 16 we
leave Iran Harvick off mama does my
heart so much great much wisdom and
understanding much knowledge my parish a
liver alcohol is the idea that the heart
sees wisdom kamischka Shah leaves avatar
Botswana Karl Hochman when the heart is
pure so then it itself is the source of
wisdom in Anna's oculus USA that doesn't
require the mind to help it
Karen Xu suffered behalf name is set as
a hot mushroom but that's my role here's
the here's the point how is it when the
heart is so full it's it's been
completely it's completely sponged all
of the wisdom then it has the ability to
see from its side of itself my nothing
to Monica what is correcting what's not
correct
I don't know how sacred - Willa kami no
matter however the mind the intellect is
also a gift from a sham from God
Avila cash I'll leave Matthew Meza
hokhmah is a master Adam I similar Matta
when a person in bikes incorporates in
himself the wisdom in his heart so
that's what the person is trying to do
down here Mahalo Minamata yah hello Elly
- let me see I'll leave that's Mike
forum Ibiza how much alone
basically the mind sends the wisdom into
the heart the heart becomes full of
wisdom
then the heart on its own knows what to
do okay and in in his vein in this
concept just making sure that have
enough time to say what I want to say in
its concept we find I'm not going to
read this part inside but we find that
ration for example says my heart tells
me I've never heard an understanding an
explanation of this idea universe to the
fo levy I merrily my heart tells me
something this is the explanation
because Rashi was somebody who had so
incorporated himself and so filled his
heart with wisdom with Torah wisdom that
he was able to say my heart tells me
that this is the understanding even
though I haven't heard explicitly that
this is the understanding of something
and this is the idea he says of the
hazards of das Tyra what is the idea we
go to a great rabbi and we ask him
what's the correct thing to do what is
God's will in this situation because
he's someone who has studied the will of
God using he is allowed his heart to
become full of God's wisdom of God's
direction which is what's contained in
the Torah and therefore when we ask him
a question
so when he tells us our his heart's
answer so to speak so there might be
questions that haven't been addressed
within the Shannara know the shadows
virtuous whatever it is but like Tomica
has the ability because he's
incorporated and become full of Tyrel to
give us an answer in regards to
questions that have not perhaps been
asked before okay ananka shall leave and
then of America shouldn't accuse however
when the heart is not in that state of
purity whom is shuhada monogamy are
essentially what happens is the person
because of his bias so he's bribed as it
were he is he goes towards his own
desires and helpless topologically lives
so then he can't depend on the hearts
carabine is on in the hearts
calculations who start to say if I draw
as I say he must have the mind directing
my drag is I highly certainly caught out
the safe occurred in the Kabul I said
raha Sauvage ball so you so when the
person is on that level which is really
all of us so we need to have our mind
the the pure set the pure intellect and
and the soul in the Torah guide our
hearts
mouth is yes if what is the concept of
the kingship of Joseph Xue hai some
official leaves avatar he was somebody
who are completely purified his heart
crack avoid the ads miss luckily
isostatic may occurring because of the
work that he did on himself he married
it he purified himself to the point
where he was righteous down to his roots
give me and shut up allocate shall I
mother also was like the King salt like
a one-year-old when it came to sin she
live like a local to calais I draw as I
said it wasn't necessary for sure and
for Yosef to receive the direction of
the mind
AI laik me cut a singular MS the heart
had reached the truth on its own the
mother's history between us shall leave
that's the aspect of Joseph's kingship
aspect of heart Kazuko Haleiwa enzyme
autonomy Leila the purifying of the
heart is something that doesn't come as
a gift from above very very interesting
very powerful concept here the the
purity of the mind is something which
comes from above from the soul the
purity of the heart is something and let
me cut my way to Sodom that only comes
through the persons working on
themselves
well my dragon via Zoe you let me drag
it to me this but this great high level
is not consistent thing it's not
something it can be around all the time
that's why yo saves kingship was only
for a short amount of time that aspect
of Yosef is is lisman this is money it's
it's limited I'm laid there how about
the other album and it's not something
that the general populace can can accept
upon themselves the general populace
needs hard rock ah of the mind came up
with shame but I fee like if I love my
law office man a person an individual
perhaps can remain in a state of seekers
in a state of righteousness but it's not
something that can last you have sure
let me tell me by my drag a quick I wish
my lady shards after nothing but or it's
impossible to stay at a level where the
heart remains so pure well to see who
does but what's the aspect of the
kingship of Judah Dumas these markers
you who the mouth was rush circle the
the kingship of Judah is one it's based
on the intellect sure Irish washer
licked the mind is that which is in
charge well my common magic is calling
for an autumn my license via classes and
it's the
it's that which directs all of the
aspects of the person all of his limbs
how to behave I'm a drink occasionally
came to me d this is the level that ends
up right
she has been dogged mmm she had a notice
if comes he comes first and he's first
short him at a time the chef and of it
takes over from him and the messiah who
comes from David and he's the one who is
for all time he and his children are for
all time the kings of the Jewish people
why yeah sure I'll leave nice numbers
bad Allah say ho because what happens is
that the heart needs to be to be subdued
to the to the mind a solution a shaman a
kiss he might be home and a vet desta
Sally Leviticus Shem the spirit of the
human being the neshamah the soul of the
human being is that which guides the
person and guides the heart in the
service of God
Sabbatini shal mafiosi who the rush is
the aspect of the kingship of Judah
ahead Jonah how - I leave that guides
and and rules over the heart mouth
whooshes AHA LaCava melodies Leila let
me catch the moose way it's not because
of his own perfection it's a gift from
above it's a gift from a sham Shana like
Nick Malaga real Irish right
interestingly for a read on King David
does a great are very does a great thing
with about Sheva and yet he was able to
he recognizes that it's not him he
didn't maintain that high high level of
Sitka's Lugosi what's an acrylic show
lamella knew who'd also Falls with Tamar
and yet because he recognizes that it's
a Madonna from above a gift from a Shem
so there's a concept of Hashem forgiving
even the mistakes
Shaina leave me feeling like I'm real
Irish hermaphrodite somehow Russia what
happens is when the heart does not Sadu
itself subjugate itself to the mind so
then there can be how far leave me
separation between the mind and a heart
that's what we find for example by a
rubber Minerva who was who was the King
Jeroboam was a king over the Jewish
people over the Kingdom of Israel and
her Hotham who was from King David was
over Judah and Benjamin and there was a
separation between these two malukas
really they were supposed to serve
together in the service of
and yet because there was a separation
between mind and heart it didn't work
out
the catenary solution amela no chef he
too is llevaba we find by King Solomon
that he lost out his heart was swayed by
his wives I'm not gonna get into that
okay bottom line
well the gambit sewer kazoo she's caca
maluca yeah
gum can certainly eight cycles of aliyev
obukhov acidophilus a tricycle
even they were separated it was
necessary it was essential and didn't
work out that way but that there would
be that the heart would receive from the
mind and there would be a coming
together okay
now he brings it back and we're running
out of time here so we're gonna bring it
back to the story of Joseph and you who
these two great Paragons representing
the heart in the mind this doctor hadn't
been a sick of a lave there are two
there are different ways of serving God
when it when it comes to the intellect
versus the heart neither as sheets of a
pool of a nebula Cazale but we need to
understand that when it comes to the
cooperation between the heart in the
mind our sages said by you gosh I love
you who Dom my mom okay made some label
of each issue lunacy Atlanta there's an
idea that Yehuda was able to draw out
through his convincing arguments through
his intellect he approached us and he
said you can't take Benjamin as your
slave because his father is attached to
him and I promised him when I stand I
stand I made a guarantee I need to bring
him back to his father he kept drawing
out of Yosef Yehuda has represents the
mind he gave all of these eighths's all
of these four reasons why Joseph should
not take Benjamin because I'll see that
is representing the way that the mind
needs to speak to the heart to convince
the heart
Arnim Allah shall evoke of a flourish
even though the heart is now going to be
subjugated to the to the mind may come
economy tishell dubber
we need to understand in here here's the
balance there's this balance the - the
to direct the heart and the heart
however it activates what happens who
marecus aha and the heart is the center
of life
who make arrests in the heart the
emotions are what motivate a person the
person wants to do things because his
emotion moves him well most of the
palace of my special atom it's that
desire that moves a person to act I will
cause us how live a mile east of Quito
beach times Rakesh anything on our
agenda covers to draw us a rich but but
it needs to be guided by the mind yes we
need the heart to activate to to to
motivate that's what I'm looking for but
it needs to be guided by the mind how
lima damask me purchased social mafia

social on what is that which comes out
of this practically speaking when it
comes our service of god
that's bearer as boris attack
acceleration holiday is to have a
clarity and what is the purpose of the
mind on the heart
I'll leave it sorry Harvey I'd Rock of a
hard economic nourish heart needs a lot
of guidance and a lot of subjecting
itself to the mind I'll say fellas a
avoid a caution this is the difficulty
verse says we are not Taiyo a machine
why should we sell of iveco you should

mind
well Jack Nesbitt tight house she cool
him gamma Stuart sensor gives I see
initially and not get stuck in the
biases of the heart and finally I'd like
to read to you the end of the piece
climates are other less damage -
Nevermore cousin leave a safe a person
is obligated to make use of these two
aspects of himself his mind on his heart
you know lave Sagar
if the heart is closed an ascetical of
foolish fellow leave so then the mind
cannot have any effect on the heart a
sluggish elaboration short sweet sannyas

outside
I sure Harvey lured us well in so much
pillow mice and you can know a lot that
doesn't change a person
and actions k.michelle mela they saw the
personal essence they're rusting what
who is the king over the actions of
human being it's the desire of a person
it's the motivation of the person I'll
leave and that's found in the heart
so if licorice from a hot shot I leave
person needs to conquer and to make his
heart open
Chicago sash was a circle to receive the
the minds direction Aisha are the
mathesar lave when a person activates
the heart audition miss Ryan Esparza
through the fact that he is affected and
he's he's awakened he's inspired making
a selection when so circle through that
