Parshat Ki Tavo: Emulating G-d - Correlation between Body & Soul - Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller

[Music] okay so now we're going to go to summit ideas on the party with some depth okay so there are a lot of ideas this is a big party for ideas okay so the first one is it says and you should walk in his ways meaning i shouldn plays what's difficult about that means God and we're humans which is a bit of a problem okay so the concept is that we have some things in common with God so walking in his ways as is interpreted belen two different things from two different angles the first is recognizing the Romanian Hashem to image the offices of the third item has no image that still leaves a sort of up a tree so the idea there bear with me if the do solas all Hashem it's expressed through the body so if you know that the body is the souls fool by looking at the body you learn something about what the soul could do so there's a big difference between what the soul could do and what the soul is in essence this is clear so so we're ghosts now goes through some of the limbs and organs of the body and we're going to talk about this spiritual parallel ok clear ok so we're going to take it from two different angles the first one is we're going to look just at seven of the divine attributes the ones that are most easily intellectually accessible then we'll go to the original three right hand left hand suppose god forbid you had no hand what would that mean you can't do long lots of like let's be more specific name if you can't type yeah and we will cut nope so type in piano the soulful fine motor action this will include holding the fourth sewing anything that requires five fingers what else what else poor kid no arms okay yeah for not too many sports you could play okay okay the sofa gross motor action growth quadrants is having the strength to push something to pull something okay clear okay so the right hand by and large for humans and stronger than the left hand so the right hand as an instrument is described as being parallel to the trait press it press head is where for most people if you're saying weird spirituality they're going to talk to Beth tested well toss to first spell fine motor action specific person give you an example some specific fesses the people do you charge giving charity tell me other examples because I'm going to run you through all of them very quickly okay so the first one okay the first one is receiving gifts when you receive the guess that means you see yourself as a fellow guests in Hashem's world he's the host and receiving it next visiting the sick and you visited the set what achieve is to give him a sense of significance that was robbed by their illness by asking them how you can help concretely obviously leave it alleviating their situation next burying burying the dead since the dead aren't able to bury themselves when you bury the dead what are you doing why in no society do they just like that put dead people in the dumpster and forget about it because everybody knows that the body was the repository of the soul whether they're conscious of it or not we once had this really bizarre thing happening today I'm giving you know Hans's the identity of the person involved somebody in the staff in the day might be an office person might be a teacher had at the time a teenage son was like 15 which is like the age of stupidity okay so they went to hire harrisville which is like this park you know where it is on the way to buy us a gun so part of the cemetery and part of its just like the park so he went with his friends one night and we made a barbecue in the park and then booked us for a teenage boys with no brains they were like playing in the cemetery okay so they didn't know that there were security lights they're so everything they do is being seen right so so they were like they were quite soft or something then one of them had to use the facilities but there were no facilities because the dead don't need them right so he went to the side he took care of himself God film okay he was arrested because he happened to do this year Robin okay so if you do imagine it but it isn't the paper is it was like 30 million and he justified what I had a go you know I couldn't but that's not how anyone took it okay so in his own defense who sang with you people do you believe like in the eternities or so no but if you don't think so if you think like Robin can't see and doesn't know like what difference does it make like who died itself is still marker like what problem did they buy this not at all because it's some level everybody believes in the eternities the soul and everybody to see this is insulting take care okay so it was not a pleasant memory ok so moving on ok so that's the right hand they want to do a custom the arm has a forced to do it people use extraordinary energy to make good things happen they tell you in this class about the be kind path on top of like cards two young men there they don't even look religiously just got out of the army they printed up a bunch of these cards on one side like they're the size of playing cards the man is like the same kind of paper explict paper one side has a very beautiful picture of a butterfly and the other side says in Hebrews be kind pass on so they decided to do acts of like little acts of kindness and sort of tell me as a person to like you to do something so some of was on film like one of them boredom about water for one of the beggars who beg like the attack on America see you know who's like lying down on blankets and it was on a hip hot day okay and then the baked are like went and gave some of it to someone else you know so this is now it's only been like for a few weeks it's all over the world they get like they get emails from India they get you like it's all over like people have such a strong desire to do something good that it's easy like people wants it like want to find a reason to do it that's the right hand now the left hand does everything the right hand does but it's just not a strong the left hand is the spiritual trade of kahlua wanting to be strong enough to overcome obstacles we love overcoming obstacles so this love of overcome obstacles is what self-esteem is made out of then why'd you take this as an axiom any act of self-discipline create self-esteem because some voices that I overcame and I did it but still fun so this is why you know they have this toy for babies is hollow box with shapes cut out and blocks to put in very sadistic toy right okay whatever so here's a baby who's like maybe two toys like Ram the round block into the square hole and it's like not coming and you know like ah like a quest foot okay baby shows the whole thing down a few times only so at some point usually by accident he'll get like the round peg in the round hole so once he does that in that like in a relatively short fun not more than a day he'll realize all of the pegs have different shape and they all go in if you find the right hole 1pc gives it out how much lower will he like the toy it's all over not much longer so the reason is what made him like the toy was overcoming something you understand this overcoming the challenges the toy presented so we all like overcoming so the big test in life is whether your obstacle courses meaning or not because everybody will find an obstacle course give an example of an achievement that really means something you could look back say I tried I did this and it really means something for you right and then i'll make that contention that's only folks colic close this house has intrinsic value okay let's say it does okay let's say learning to be a doctor or something that will actually bring it brings something to the world besides more money see with authors value okay yes because this is clear a lot of people spend their lives getting the feeling of achievement when there's no real achievement give an example of what kind of achievement that really doesn't make themselves with other person or the world a better place interesting yes okay the people two different like this thing um what's it called pokemon pokemon come on what what is this pokemon I get it right okay I don't know how we just all over the world if it looks like so crazy this case in America they out yes I out loaded in the Army precise were like I'm abandoning your post walking through windows you know like whatever if the book is worth reading it'll make you a better person the world's a better place their books for the worth reading it's relative to your values obviously a very like objectively work it has to be subjectively worth reading if a fiction novel is good because the characters engage you so if this makes you more sensitive person then it has intrinsic value but it's tricky because in remember I worked in the University the people who are in the English department are not necessarily more sensitive and the other people are they the Justice competitive czar just as like so I don't know that reading a lot necessarily sensitized with you that was very disappointing to me anymore relax tonight and be a better person later founded yeah valid enough it doesn't have a definite you putting it's like you have to spend 10 years getting relaxed place afford therapy for 25 years and say now I know me okay but that's gonna be able as 25 years ago a whatever brother Anakin yes I agree okay next so we have the two arms okay next after two legs so the two legs the way you walk is like this is always one like ahead and one leg behind the case of the two legs are what you have to put to get you moving in the direction that has meaning the soul wants something has meaning the body is Floyd the body just wants to go so one of the things that's interesting to observe about humans you could stuff anyone in the street and you when you say where are you going there's an answer so the answer could be I'm going for a walk i'm going to the park i'm going to work but there's an answer it's a cat to talk and you were to say where you go the answer is I'm going animals don't have destinations ok so this at all humans want destinations is what nessa and holder bed so there are two basic directions that the soul wants to go the word next bus means eternity the soul wants to go towards with its eternal value in what's being done where you're taking yourself so what would be an example of a person taking themselves either literally or figuratively towards something that has eternal value yeah that's definitely kicking a drug habit of sticking with her something eternal give me an example to the journey where you feel like you're going but you're really not going anywhere computer games again what food yes we're here inside okay yeah work useless 925 but even better to sustaining you it has some value okay I was watching one of my grandson's was playing this computer game I don't know what it's called to thank God it has a six minute limit okay so it was like some kind of war gave you is exploding tanks and let you know and T they're like this so I noticed in this game looks like the kind of thing they think only boys would like so nobody has faces it was so interesting like the tank roll exploding each other and they were sharp shooters on the roof who you have to like blow up but you just see their guns you don't see a face it's very very interesting to me okay so wyd it's 86 minutes is what you need to blow up more time by selecting so yeah you understand this but it gives the feeling of moving towards something they're all sorts if I stay gold you subsea the success the other leg so one leg is messed up the everyone is hose which which means Splendor in a spiritual sense so we all want to go to it something has slandered that has Beauty to it okay clear okay next okay the next is the actual feet on the bottom of the legs okay okay so the feet give a finer edge to walking the feed reflect your will your desire everyone's desire to take over I want to go where I want to go see if that's the personal destiny is also a spiritual thing then we have the chest okay so the test is where the heart is the heart is how it is used as an allegory is to the seat of emotions why do you think it all like in many societies they do that what is the hard have to do with emotion whatever it is like my liver you know like I'll teach you in my liver for everything ok are some people I'd little cards on februar and center with pictures of livers ok what is their better heart function that makes people associate it with it gives life to the whole body so similarly in the end for everybody the emotions of the captain efficient where you want to go and what you want to do it's alway your passions lie that makes sense yes yeah so it is quite a lot about current Miss little bit and Rachel but it despite inference ominous we need to take big risks or Milan game pieces are we headed into it no reson thank gosh this is cursed we've made a mess not like such a great week for bungee jumping it's more well Rosh Hashanah is good this always has to come two weeks before Rosh Hashanah referee shonna is coming up it's up to me whether I'm going to be the person of curve who's cursed or persons list gosh i have two weeks to think through my whole life and change well yeah that is do that please you know don't want to be quote let me know if it's nothing okay yeah more than this will talk about that's like tomorrow's topic okay I have you ok so the hearts the cast into the heart have to listen to the mind the mind is a navigator so the mind itself has three aspects so the three aspects which on the physical body all of it like are much like the body the speed the head the skull has three layers did you know that's like this skeleton this will be meted aura and the inner door ok so the idea there is that conscious thought has three stages the first is observation something you or someone tells you something then there's understanding and finally destroying this conclusion so the three stages are knowing which is like seeing something to grab fields understanding and drawing your conclusions so the acts of seeing something I want you to realize our mind is so fast we can't see something without interpreting it you realize that if you look at a person your mind which is so fast already not only recognizes this is a person or a woman that has already compared the face you're seeing to every other faces ever seen isn't that amazing it sells mind-boggling so the first stage which is called Hoffman is very abstract and very hard to get a finger on because we already interpret understanding has three phases they're parallel to the three phases of understanding anything when you was knitted from from the perspective of something material something speacial there's high breadth and depth so height is where is this going when you want to understand something if it's where is this going where did it come from the next is breast what are all the components so I see the whole picture and the next is depth what does it really mean so there's high breadth and depth okay the last phase is drawing the conclusion the conclusion means you now have this fully formed I did you could connect it to everything else so a conclusion will connect the idea to reality so the word for towards the conclusions is led us to know the first place is used in Toyota sociedad ms la visto Adam knew his wife cava which was carnal knowledge but in context means he knew her he knew her and then he knew her ok clear ok so that what makes you a person who's similar to Hashem you can trade the three of your mind and the servant has come forth from your heart then you have your core which I left out looks so the hall genital area is your core your desire for future which also humans are much more concerned about than any video [Music]
