Releasing Soul from Captivity, Free Will to live a holy life - Tanya Igeres haTeshuva 6 - RC Dalfin

we're starting p in page 190 taught us here that every ye their has within it and the yut V God's name God's ineffable name the tetr Graton yut V equal equaling 26 is the very Core Essence of every single ye when there are blockages through through sins through transgressions sometimes it cuts it off completely if the prohibition is one that the Torah says is you're obligated you Pun It's punishable by cus excision oray or Heavenly death other times it's just chipping away at the Strand at the Rope so we discussed that at Le in chapter 5 now in chapter 6 he continues to answer the question that he posed in the beginning of chapter 4 which is how do people continue to exist after after um their situation if they did a certain AA that we know the Torah says you're obligated to have cus and yet they continue living and they live happily that was a basic question and he's in middle of answering this question but the question the question of is more to understand the the the the makings of chuva you see in Inus we just don't ask questions for the sake of questions the whole approach of and Torah and of question and answer is not technically AIC approach is getting to the core of the issue who are you who are we who is God naturally the question you need a question and you need an answer to put it into a certain form and definition butus transcends that the Reb explains this at Great length in which I'm not sure we ever learned maybe we'll learn that after but the Reb explains that there so the AL asked this question the beginning of chapter 4 and he's in middle of developing the idea so that will have an answer to the question but more importantly than the answer is who are we how do we do chuva what is impacted through a what happens through a sin that's really at the heart of it and Myers if you think about it if you think about it when will a person prevent thems from committing a sin when they understand the magnitude the gravity when they understand what a relationship is if you don't know what a relationship is you'll do whatever you want if you cherish b a relationship then you you you you're interested in the relationship if we know who we are are as Jews as yeen if we know ourselves that we're not just a piece of meat with a with with smart brains and a good heart but we're on theama soul and this the is Con cons compr it's comprised of the yut wow I'm looking we're looking at each other we're looking at God y that's what he teaches us here in Tanya so so it's a whole different yeah you could look at the same person and look at the same issue and one person concludes he's he's sad he's smart he's not smart he's mean he's angry and then you can look at the person from a deeper perspective where are they coming from and again I don't mean just intellectually and emotionally which is important to to um to give a person the respect of of of understanding them where they coming from but I'm talking about the and when you're and when you're in the n Zone it's a whole different equation and by the way M that's what a sadic is a sadic sees the world and and the Jew from a zone so it's not from the tal Zone it's not from the Zone it's not from the Caba Zone it's not from the zone for that you go to a rabbi who's AIS or a tudis or or or a Masia or a cabalist bar you understand if you need an answer you know and you believe someone has cabalistic power and you want some you know some of that that that approach go to him go to you know and and everyone just like you need a lawyer go to you know for for legal issue go to a lawyer go to a doctor you go for for medical issues you go to a scientist for scientific issues you go to a mathematician for mathematician issues and you go to some you know um a person who's on the street clean the streets if you want to have clean streets you don't ask a doctor about cleaning the streets it's absur cuz then the advice will be bad advice but all of that is not from the soul zone for the the shama Zone that's all coming from here here I'm talking about deeper the essence The Core Essence of the Jew the this is what the AL is explaining to us so now when we tackle the whole idea of chuva you know and the three weeks begin next week and then comes and the and we talk about we go bang this way bang that this way up down back I keep on banging be before you bang you have to know why you're banging who you're banging you have to know what what's the Rel who are we what is going on and that's what the AL does here in Thea where he takes aart in in such great detail what is truva what is what is what is V what is fasting and and all of that which is all the side tap comes from who you are who are we so he comes up with this brilliant idea based on we are it's not he's quoting a verse the verse says the nation his Nation the Jews are a part of God what does that mean so right away you you you you you have you confronted with this idea how am I I thought I'm a piece of meat I thought I I'm a smart guy I'm a good guy this is what we're discussing here let's go to P now P bottom of page 190 P chapter six at the time when yeen when Jews were at a high level that is when the dwelt in the at that time you know how we received our physical strength iser you're a doctor how did gon receive the strength during the it went through the and the was animating the Jews during the time which comes from the essence the inner of influence top of which delivered influence from the infinite God through the name Yi as we mentioned earlier the the four letter name of Hashem so during the B mikdash when we were living with the reality of then then if you do did a sin that is worthy of chus you got cus in other words when you when when you're on a level of of of being animated by yut V you have to you have to live the conditions of yut v and if you violate the conditions you break the you tear the Rope apart the connection and it is what it is and right let's go further now after the Jews descended we descended from our level in other words we're R into Gus the god and we caused through our actions and behavior the secret the esoteric idea of what's called the the Divine present isn't God was in Exile as it says in the through your transgressions your mother was sent your mother referring to the to hasem our mother was sent away because of our sins what happened when we sinned after the B was destroyed and because of that it was destroyed the descended which it as we explained earlier this is the last of the progressed from level to level below below until it it invested itself in the 10 emanations of What's called the translucent Clipper which gives influence and energy through the constellations and all the heavenly host and all the ministers the heavly ministers shall L him which upon them give influence even to the physical the physical world and from there from Theus there come that comes about Vitality for the vegetation the sages say there isn't a blade of grass below that doesn't have a source in heaven that makes it grow so what do we understand from this that once there was a once there was destruction of bdes and there was what we call the went into went into G Exile the divine presence is now SLA a slave cannot fulfill and do what it wants because of the situation this led to the energy descending and descending and in some form also giving Vitality to non Godly situations that's what he says at that time even The Sinner amongst Jews can receive Vitality for their body habis and to their animal Drive just like all other animals as it says in the we are compared we're comparable to animals in other words it's only comparable to animals we're not animals but the has Yi has become so dwindled and it's so nonobservable like in an animal which it's alive it's being sustained on some level by God but it's very minimal it's very not recognizable so to us the which we once had through the now the goes through we still have but it's very asleep yes um I've heard that um at a certain point in time there were no newas in the world were recycling the original 600,000 that that didn't achieve their tikun and I'm just wondering if there's any any relationship to this concept that we are no longer have that that connection that the the the nishas our nishas are are really they're recycled they're not in that pure state of being n's put into the world uh I would say no that's two separate Concepts the the idea of non nonas versus Nas is a whole different uh ball game that's that's a it has nothing to do with the transgressions and non- transgressions that has to do with a period that that ended because God decided that uh now no newas okay um that that that's my off the cuff answer um to look more into it we would need to really look into some and but that's my overall understanding let's go on on the contrary more so it says in the all the influence that and energy that is given to man below at the very moment that he does the sin in the eyes of God action you know where all comes from the chambers of negativity of that are mentioned over there now this is a very very strong statement you know that means y that means that the that we get ordinarily today without our avod without our refinement and raising the bar comes through Clipper but you'll say wait a minute all I'm do is getting up in the morning walking to sh and then and going to work and you know making a living it's very very nice but and ever since the normal is from the once told me that the novelty of's idea that every Jew has a Godly soul is is not that it it's not that it's it's that we have a Godly soul in other words the novelty is that we're not normal know the norm is Clipper like it says over here that's why I remind myself of this the norm today is Clipper to be non Clipper today that's a novelty that's a Kish you know last night they had the RNC beginning right so I saw whatever you know a little bit and and and I'm thinking you know go non-jews look how look how good they have it it's like I'm think I say to myself how lucky how lucky and fortunate we are that we're Jews so we don't have all the glamour who cares the glamour is kipa I'm not kipa NOA it's not completely evil you know a gathering of people to celebrate whatever but what is it after all it's it's it's it's from the chambers of kipa a Jew with the Nish when they work ons themselves they're able to come out of the Clippo better and and reveal their true Essence their but the AL says here when you don't do that and you act like a non-jew or like you said before we like animals we compared to animals then we're living off Clipper let's continue nevertheless these are such important words in this chapter man has Choice a Jew has Choice whether you want to accept and just go with the norm receiving the energy from the negative from the whether you want to you want to receive your energy from the chambers of Holiness which from there come all good thoughts and holy thoughts if hasem made it that kipa dominates Hashem has given at the very same time the choice to man to choose the opposite oim God makes because God never strips hasem never strips a person from Free Will so as much as we so so when we said before a when we said before that the normal goes through the CLI the Clippers the chambers of Clippers that's the norm but you have free will now remember that every one of us every day you had a bad day with your employer you have free will to make a difference don't tell me this is the way it is that's the way it is for n for us true let's go further they receive and they nurture they get their energy how do they get energy they get energy because they also have an association with What's called the Tree of Life which has good and bad as known to those that study the esoteric wisdom so because there is nourishment from the and which has to and so they get a little bit of that we learned that in if you remember the different two different ways of how CPP gets its energy begins kind of a separate idea we quoted earlier the verse Jakob Jacob is a rope of to The Inheritance it's written for example at the top of the Rope is above on top and the bottom of the Rope is below if someone will pull the top of the Rope the whole rope will shake and it'll be drawn after the person shaking the Rope from the top he'll it will shake also the top and as much as that will be able to come from the top will come forth that's the parable now the moral when it comes to the source of man and and the source of as we learned earlier where does the the the source of the come from the lasty of the it one draws down the influence when doing acts of bad acts and bad thoughts Turn the Page top of 192 it's like shaking the Rope shaking the Rope around here shake the Rope shakes on top and if we mess up down here with our bad behavior and thoughts and all of that transgressions the top of the Rope shakes too and it gives out energy to the wrong place you understand and then we wonder one second and then we wonder why why God why are you doing this to me when you know where how did you shake the Rope if you shake if you shook it in a bad way right here it's going to have a reciprocal effect yes what's your question or your comment uh so so the Shake in the r does that I guess this also has an effect over the H of is because I'm part of is sh and therefore affect everybody else by my actions right not just me right right right because because you as an individual we as individuals yeah the the Rope is like yeah it's the it's the it's like the it's all of the Eden so the personal the personal impact has a a CL yes absolutely I would say that's correct let's go further and because he look again remember I always tell you Al uses the words twice who who that began in chapter um 29 so here he says it again who who you you you individual you draw down the affluence you you take the responsibility of of that issue says meaning enough said in other words when we see something happening in the world and we right you say what does it have to do with me the terrible tragedy in is what does it have to do with the Eden Tasmania Al says and that's this is what you were saying it does and he says the language that's very very tough words it's like you're on the front lines and and what you're doing is is responsible for for the greater issue that happens in the world now of course we don't know this and you know and to go around and say I know why this this happened that happens ridiculous we're talking about the concept and to focus on the self we shouldn't think is that our little misbehavior and arrogance and everything else has nothing to do with a change in the universe that's the point let's go further we don't have in our hand not the peacefulness of the of the wicked means our hands don't think that we don't have in our hands the issues of the wicked once the temple has been destroyed to B clippa dominates and unless we make a change we raised the bar and revealed aniss and live with The Godly Soul there there is no peace you hear that there's no peace that's the meaning of g Exile ex of the divine presence of speaking to give food kind of nourishment to the chamber who hate Godus hate God they want God's downfall and when we do in a we're giving them nourishment gets back to his his feces here when a Jew does proper we remove from the their nourishment that he originally gave them through his action and his thoughts but when we do proper and he used the word prop we take it away we strip it away from them through the person's chuva we bring back the to its place T of says this is implied in the word chuva T of return the hay that was lost temporarily to its original place of Holiness return the lower H from its exile says God your God will return will make you return CL this means God himself will be returned it's not God will stay where he is in Gus and he'll bring us back doesn't say the he will make the he himself will do CH what's the meaning says based on what what he teaches here makes sense Chu is T the very hay that was disconnected from the you through the a will return to its original place tomorrow we hopefully learn from Cincinnati I'm off to Cincinnati so tomorrow mem we will learn from Cincinnati have a great day everyone yes you can go visit you can go visit JD V he lives in Cincinnati OH really thank you for thank thank you for telling me I'll try but I got
