history the two types of history one
history is called descriptive history
what we learned when we were in high
school you know names dates places this
kind of stuff it's simple but history
really the Scholastic history is
interpretive it doesn't merely look at
what happened when and how and so on but
it looks into why why what causes human
events what causes history the events of
history and that's called interpretive
was classic history obviously that's
what historians trying to do it's much
more than just naming events we need to
understand why for whatever reason
to understand history to prove to
prevent a repetition of calamities and
catastrophes look there's a lot of great
stuff that can come out of obviously
learning history but there are two to
two types of history now the mistake
that historians make which is fine is
that they think that they understand the
ultimate causes of history what are the
ultimate cause of is that they think is
the reason is the following this
economic reasons why events occur
military reasons cultural reason
scientific reasons and so on political
reasons right and accounted and this is
why in style events occur and this is
what they obviously labor to figure out
but when you ask the Tarot
why does history occur it has nothing to
do with this it has everything to do
with the divine plan everything except
what God does is he conceals his actions
and what he does is he allows political
events or military events or scientific
or cultural events and so on to be
what's called the intermediate causes
and that allows him to be concealed you
see so we as Jewish scholars right
that's where all now right we're now we
become scholars now we're gonna bypass
these intermediate reasons right which
is what historians do and we are going
to go into
nature the divine plan and it's gonna
have to build up the concepts but once
you understand them you will be
incredibly rewarded because you will no
longer read you dear doctor or not or
whatever these papers are right
the New York Times as far as their
history is concerned you will understand
it at a whole different level so that's
what I want to do I wanna I want to try
to understand history from the from the
standpoint of a divine plan okay now
what is a divine plan okay I'd like to
summarize it I hope God forgives me but
I want to summarize in six points what
exactly is the divine plan what does he
want why are we here okay
obviously it's an enormous amount of
speaking each of these points is easily
a whole lecture in itself but I'm going
to you know just briefly mention each
point which is very important and I'll
try to briefly describe them one why did
God create this universe altogether it's
me this we know that he's completely
independent of anything outside of me
God has no limit he's independent right
and there's nothing that we could do for
him nothing it's no why do it and the
answer that had that the has all give is
hot tava God created the universe to
bestow an infinite state of goodness on
a human being
period it's a simple answer now we can
ask ourselves why would he want to do
that you know I know it's what's the
motive of the motive and the answer is
unknown we don't know why God does that
we just know the immediate motive which
is called hot lava to bestow a state of
incredible well-being or goodness or
whatever you want to call it benefit and
so on on a human being but we don't know
why that's fine doesn't give us a reason
why but it does tell tell us they hate
to be a creature how to do good in your
end that we do know fine so if that's
the case the next question is well what
is a toughie what is the greatest form
of goodness because we know God doesn't
renege if you want to do something is
that she if I want to give you guys the
best thing you could ever
Seve which means that the greatest thing
that existence allows what is that and
the answer is a divine experience what
God wants is that we should be attached
to him it's called the divine hug trying
to look at it that way that's it
there is nothing greater than that it's
called Vegas attachment now we have no
idea what that is or we can suspect what
it means but we don't really know what
it is but we do know that the reward or
rather the the benefit that he wants to
give us ultimately it's called hatov
ashley MO the greatest or perfect good
which is Vegas to be attached to him
totally in the way which we cannot even
comprehend and I'm talking about God you
know which obviously is is a B now we
have no comprehension about in any case
that's what he wants but God has to make
an incredible decision what do I do
should I give it to them for free
Madonna or do they have to work for it
this is a very way decision to imagine
the repercussions of this so God decides
without going into why like I said each
one of these ideas all all cheering
itself God decides that has it would be
a veto you have to work for this he's
not gonna give it to you for free
sounds strange but that would the
decision as enormous obviously
consequences therefore what it means is
that if we have to work for it right
then obviously which means that it's
Nana Madonna it's scar its reward
because if you have to expend efforts
then you are rewarded for the effort you
see so that's what Kant decides
however if that's the case if we have to
work for it then God has to create a
task so what God has to do is create a
task for man obviously because he wants
you to work so it's interesting what he
does I tell you what he does very really
very fascinating what he does is that he
sends forth incredible divine energies
now in Kabbalah the called spheres we
don't know what they really are but
they're they're clearly spiritual but
they're divine forces or divine energies
which he sends forth okay and these
energies or forces can create realities
and they create different realities in
Cibola there are five of them and
finally what happens is that these
sphere is sort of like diminished it's
like taking a thousand watt bulb and
diminishing its wattage you know 800 700
600 and so on as a result of that the
reality is that they create is different
its diminished or degraded its inferior
finally they create a physical universe
same spheres same divine energies and
they create a physical universe okay why
because what God wants is that we who
are really the soul of man he will
insert a nice Shama into a physical body
that's what he does and the problem then
is automatically that the physical body
in the physical world now becomes a
barrier to feeling spirituality that's
what he does
so it's interesting god conceals the
spiritual universes and himself through
the physical medium called the body and
the entire physical universe that's how
he does it so we are now spiritual
entities it's almost like an angel where
he puts an angel into a physical body so
what he does is he puts us which is a
soul into a physical body and we now
have a physical barrier where we cannot
experience real spirituality and what
God wants is the following he wants us
to remove the barrier that's our job you
see when we remove the barrier what does
that mean removing a barrier what it
means is is is the concept called zico
zico means to purify to remove the
contaminant from the world that we're in
what is the contaminant the contaminant
is the physical body itself what we have
to do is dematerialize the physical body
try that means if we do that over
suddenly the physical body becomes
transparent and then a Shama the soul
immediately becomes obvious you see so
that's called Zico very important
concept where we re transform the
physical world back into its previous
day
it's called that's called Zico into a
spiritual universe that's right
so therefore he asked itself where is
the future world and the interested here
I know a lot of people say excuse me
it's here
you call this world the what the future
world of course not
but what we have to do is we transform
this world into the future world in
through a series of steps which is very
interesting and therefore that is
ultimately up to us we need to create or
trend we transform a physical universe
into a spiritual universe and ultimately
becomes a loom Hubble which is the
future world and that's the world we
will exist in for eternity yes that's
what it is
it's interesting so that's the task of
man okay it's concept called tikkun
which means to rectify but to rectify
means to do what to restore the way it
used to be the neshamah that used to be
in the world of spirit we need to
restore that so it's literally like
removing a barrier except the barrier is
physic physical substance and we got to
remove that and that's the concept
called Zika got that so that's the
purpose of man to remove the physical
barrier in order to make this universe
spiritual okay now how do we do it wait
wait a minute I have to have an
instrument to do this you know how do I
begin to do this and the answer is the
following and I have to be very brief
about this one the first way to do this
and this is a secret without going into
why is mitzvos God decided that he's
going to give us a commandment and when
you observe that commandment you will
therefore dematerialize the universe
doesn't happen right away forget about
why but it's like a it's like a bank
account where you store up a certain
amount of cash that you can spend later
on what happens when you do a mitzvah
you store up a credit many mitzvahs many
credits and eventually those credits
will be ascribed to you and you continue
to rise the universe when the
appropriate time arrives which we'll
talk about later okay
therefore Michos is the first way to do
it but God knew that many Jews are not
going to do mistress
big problem here you see they're not
just like a dual interest so that's the
only tipping device that could work
so what God did is he initiated the
second peeking device you see and I call
them the peeking device because they
ultimately be materialized the universe
the second device is called chuva
repentance that if you sin right and
with sinning actually increases
physicality and so on without getting
into that you can actually undo the sin
by doing Trouville pens so Tuva which is
a mitzvah but it's different than all
Mitch's because it can actually undo
anything that you did that's what you
were does repentance does
so therefore the second peaking device
is called true for repentance but God
knew that people are not going to do to
ver right with Davern yom kippur right
and mire of it takes less than mire of
FDM Kippur qualifies to the Guinness
world record of the fastest mire of you
ever doubt me so so the question that is
wait wait a minute
whatever happened to the chief oh right
okay you know and so obviously we don't
do toover we do have chuva or whatever
so God said I need to give a third
teaching device okay to make sure that
if they don't emitters no to chuva they
can do the third teaching device what is
that that device is called assuming or
suffering that's fine
suffering isn't so much a retribution
for something you did know what
suffering really is is the third tipping
device without getting to how it works
it actually enables you when you have
suffering and enables you again to do
zico now there are many forms of
suffering right pannotia bankruptcy
divorce sickness all kinds of you know
of medical problems and so on okay yeah
not only that that's on an individual
level on a national level what do you
have you have goalless exam your
persecutions have all kinds of
difficulties anti-semitism
all of that is taken into account as the
concept called Eucerin and the Jews
which I will talk about because
obviously they're the main actors what
happens is
is that a person who does mitzvahs chuva
me and Shirin ultimately he will do the
people that's it those are the three
peaking devices and this is obviously a
great deal I'm missing out but that's
fine okay we have now an understanding
of the basic elements of the Divine Plan
purpose the reward that has to be work
we know the task is a physical barrier
we know is zico that you have to undo
the physical barrier and it's done
through the instrumentation or
instrumentality cool mitzvahs shuva
means ruin more sigh that's what it
spells out okay there you are
that in a nutshell is a divine plan now
how does it apply to us
