Auto-generated transcript. Not time-synced to the video.
this mimer of toyota air parachutes boy
the first mimer
of the balatanya here in toyota ireboy
was said
by the altareb zaman of liadi
the balatanya the founder of khabadahz
that's 1805
and they were said during the sudha
chakras during the
morning or afternoon shabbos meal the
second meal of shabbos
and the way we know this is even though
here there's no date
but as i mentioned to you a number of
times that the balhatana
had different students and disciples
who would write down his maimarum they
would transcribe
the thoughts the ideas the experiences
that he shared
over shabbis or yamatif or whatever he
said to my mother
they would write it down they
transcribed it
and and thus immortalized it
some of them not all some were then
reviewed and edited by the alternative
himself
most of the maimaryam and tyra aired on
the torah
are transcripts of his brother he had a
brother
known as the she wrote a sephora shout
out
he was quite a gone in his own right
and he was one of the main writers
and he wrote in my marim and this is
what's printed in thailand but there
were other writers
the the the alta rebbe's children the
mittal rabbit of div
bear his youngest son maisha his
grandson
would write so sometimes we'll have a
mimer with the transcripts
of different disciples writing the same
mimer
it's not identical the themes of course
are more or less identical because they
were writing the same mimer
but you could see that people write the
way they grasp
and they put emphasis on certain things
and sometimes the order is different
it's very interesting i always find it
actually
enthralling and exhilarating to learn a
minor from the altitude
that was written by his brother to learn
the same mimer
that was written by his son the mitila
biryabdev bear
who focused very much on the meaning of
what his father was trying to say
to read the same mind that was written
by his other son the brother of the
mithler abraham maisha
who was a a brilliant man and a
brilliant writer
and also a brilliant he was known to be
an extraordinary man and his writing is
also very
uh very beautiful very eloquent to read
the same miami that was written
by his hasid repencas rapinchis rises
and sometimes the same man were written
by his grandson
and it's the same i may they said on the
same day now many of the writers those
days weren't meticulous about dates
because who cares about the date the
main thing is the mimer
but uh some writers were so the my real
wouldn't write a date he would just
write the mimer
that somehow they put it into parishes
by entire earth because it's a massive
printer turn there
but then i saw that in my murray admiral
zach of samajid there's a red set of the
ultra rebels memoriam over the years
many of them are entirely area
liquidator but they're transcripts of
different writers
so parishes boy
friday night that was written down
uh and then he said a my merchables
parishes
in the morning meal and that's this
mimer and then there's a third miami
that he said in the same meal i guess
later so i guess
the same sudden must have been a long
sudden there were two
there were two my mother and both of
them are
my mother so we happen to have the date
here
now what was the theme this is just i
think a
very interesting history to know when
you learn these my modem
how it developed and so forth
i think i mentioned in my interview with
the jewish platform last week
proven parlowitz that it's very unique
because
1805 is more than 200 years ago of
course
216 years ago right 1805.
no 2005
yeah yeah 216 years ago
and and you know it's obviously there
were no recording devices to be able to
have
a rabbit who spoke who said trader who
said exit is
at the table at the base madrid wherever
it was this was at the table
at this it says the middle of the suda
so it had to be at some table
and then it was recorded so meticulously
with with all the details
is is something extraordinary
what was the point the point was
i'm going to say the point the way it
was
according to the the themes the
phraseology and the minor
using the phrases and the vocabulary of
the mimer
that the gemara says
about ghana that she was the first one
to give hashem the name
tsvoice from the day hashem created his
world that's the expression very
interesting expression doesn't just say
she introduced the name shabbat
there is no man who's calling hashem
it sounds like calling hashem is a
revolution
it's a radical metamorphosis from the
creation of the world we had to wait
till hannah
for the name swiss why what's uh you
call the shamswice what does twice
usually is translated with the word
savats of as an army
it's voice are troops legions
groups of soldiers or fighters come who
are in combat that's what it's offers
it's what's today's israeli army called
sahal mazadzahal
sava hagan israel but any army is called
sava so it's it says in madrid
when i'm combating wickedness in justice
i'm called
savage that's my name okay
but it says hashem ishmael already by
maisha
so something happened from the world
was from the creation of the world no no
person called us
fascinating what do you know you hear
such about you have to take
note you have to take pause
it took thousands of years remember
navi lived a few hundred years after the
jews came in territory
the jews came and taken on the and year
that's two and almost two and a half
thousand years since creation
and then another few hundred years later
with small small is the one who anointed
show
he anointed
the son of david that's only four that's
440 years after they came in territory
khan is the mother of small so after
wants to know what is the meaning of
this
what is the explanation of this and
including the fact that the last naveem
used the name tsva is frequently
the safer tehillim but nowhere in humish
nowhere in taire what we have we have
entirely is that the jews are called
we are the troops of hashem
fascinating fascinating question and he
introduces it by introducing the fact
that there's a mahlikas in gemara in
schwa
it's is a holy name that you now let
erase
or it's just like a nickname for example
we call hashem
you're allowed to erase it it's
it's called means like a nickname
we're talking about hashem but it's not
like one of his names
so therefore doesn't have that holiness
that if i erase
i'm actually violating a prohibition of
toyota with the penalty of of lashes
potentially malcus it's an issue
is
it's one of those uh descriptions
descript
descriptions it's a descriptive title
but it's not an authentic name
that's the of rabbi i see
is considered one of the names that are
not to be erased
so what did although explain
so to say it mamish in a few sentences
and i'm going to say it in a few
sentences and i know that i don't have a
good reputation
when it comes to these promises i'm
going to say berliner
but i want to get straight to the crocs
as follows
hashem the word hashem means a name
so i'm now going to contradict myself
but i have no other choice
hashem means the name and that's the
point why do we call hashem hashem
the name the na why the name because the
point is
that god is nameless and there's no name
for it there's no way to describe it
there's no language
to articulate the definition of what
pure ain't safe is hashem himself
is beyond any description beyond any
definition that can be articulated
through language not only not through
language of not only through speech also
not through thought
the moment we think of a name
we create a category we create a story
we ascribe
definitions descriptions that's why we
say the word hashem hashem means a name
in other words all we can talk about is
his name not
him
himself himself is nameless beyond names
thank you
beyond names beyond any descriptions
all language falls short to articulate
the core nonetheless we find in tanakh
and in ghazal we find names
there are names for russia including the
big seven names that we're talking about
the big seven
beginning with yut kevath kim
various names which have meanings
which have meanings says yeah but allah
says
in the great in in the for hashem to be
called a goddel
for him to be called infinite even
infinite
for him to be called great for him to be
called
godly divine for him to be called god
absolute eternal he was he is he will be
timeless
transcendent creator
master al of dallas
whatever whatever name it is ali kim
the ultimate judge ruler kale kindness
it's all the way infinite divine energy
allowed itself to be named
in other words to be able to be
perceived
articulated experienced
within a particular framework with
particular features with particular
characteristics
and that's where the names come in to
use the language of kabbalah
the names represent the calem of the
estas virus of utsilas
each name represents another sphere
another characteristic it's the kali of
the sphere the vessel of the sphere
meaning
the structure of that particular sphere
that articulates the divine energy
in a particular fashion in a defined
fashion
to the point that you could give hashem
so to speak a name
the core of the light remains insife
yudke wafkee
is the pynemius of all the names that's
why it goes with all the names
hashem eli kim hashem alakim tsivakis
hashem
adna hashem always goes with all the
names it's a partner to all the names
why
because hashem yut kevke represents the
within the kali
the names represent the kalim the oh
within the kali that's the utkevafke
and the oil is identical in all the
kalem because the oil is ain't served
the earth is pure defined energy that is
then infusing the caleb in other words
it's being channeled and manifested
through the characteristics of kale
and now turbo said that the title that
martial
gives the jewish people this is the
toyota vatsilas
this is atsilas this is divine energy
articulated in the kingdom of attila's
and most of to all of tara
branches out from do
and don't do what we engage in what we
don't engage in that which is
constructive that which is destructive
that's what's positive that's what's
negative
that which is moral that which is not
more of that which we come close to that
which we want to
stay away from
what's that syllabus attilas is the
first world what do we mean the first
world
it's not called really a world but it's
called that syllabus comes from the word
eight cell
it's near him it's close to him or from
the word
to emanate it's not a creation at silas
is so to speak that space
conceptually in which divine infinity
assumes a name
beyond that there's no names nameless
atsillas is the place
where god assumes that it has been god
assumes a name where infinity could be
channeled and
categorized and linguistically
articulated
in various features and concepts and
identities
that's the names and the zayar says
hashem is one with his light hashem is
one with his vessels what does mean
hashem is one with his vessels
when i call hashem by his name when i
say
hashem i'm not referring to
a specific feature of god i'm speaking
i'm referring to hashem himself
so why do i use the word eliquid elokim
is the way hashem's infinite energy is
being
channeled through a name through a
feature through a characteristic
through a sphere through a particular
articulated medium and mechanism of
expression
because the namelessness of god is
nameless there's no
there's no way to talk about it there's
no if there would be no names
so divinity divine infinity would not be
articulated in a way that it can be
experienced or discussed or perceived
within
a realm of structure
but there's a gulf between attila
sambria what's brilliant bria
means creation bree is already the first
world
where you don't say hashem himself is
one with the caleb
in bria the spheres
the spherus which means the vessels
which means
the various structures of the world are
perceived as
separate as creations not just as
channels of infinity it's it's therefore
called a self-contained world
bri is still a very spiritual world it's
a weir of the divine
but then you have it syria asia this is
the devolution of states of
consciousness
in which the caleb are perceived as
separate entities you don't say
in these worlds only in the world of
accidents
the revolution of tsavoice
came from the navy and it came from the
naveen because
that point the jews can experience
today directly
as
and therefore it can touch them the
divine can touch them to the point
that they become one with taylor and
that's what maisha rabeno teaches and
all the names are not sillas but swayze
is not
it's the first name that articulates
bria
but how can that be hashem's name it
can't be a cali of brie is not hashem
akheli of atsila banara keli of briya
that's the kiddush of zwais
the
introduced he's going to say how that
the caleb of briya
and therefore the lower worlds can also
become
caleb that channel the divine
and once the navium did that they can
speak to the jews
who were in a different space and
communicate tighter to them
as the pure divine energy to the point
that they and the toyota would become
one
and thus the purpose of creation can be
fulfilled
this was not needed during the time of
martial because maestro
spoke that var hashem through atsilas
and the jewish people
can absorb it can experience it but the
naviem he says we're not just rebukers
they were not just preachers they were
not darshanam
they were channels for divinity and that
could not go into the jewish people
like in the days of moshe what would be
what would happen is
that in those days the torah would be
separate and the person would be
separate
the toyota had to go from atsillas
intimida that the devar hashem
should be able to be channeled to the
jewish people in an intimate way that
they should actually experience the
dvara hashem
because they can only experience life
from the perspective of calem of
britsyrasi
now you're hearing what i'm saying
it sounds very very abstract so somebody
asked me
what does this mean in life
how do you apply this to life what could
you make this practical
and i have to say i appreciated the
question because when i'm not asked this
question
it means that the person really is
content with not fully understanding
and siddhis you have to understand and
what does it mean to understand
not just understand intellectually
experience it
experience it in your bones experience
it in your breath
experience it in your emotions
experience it in every fiber of your
being
if not we missed the point
you see it in the mimer itself what was
the problem with the nivua the navoo is
then you didn't get it the whole
kavanaugh is
that it becomes me it becomes you it's
not how adam is
it would have been after the date of
moshe because the title was so exalted
it was attila so then
toyota would be alone and person would
be alone two separate things that's not
the way it's supposed to be
in other words there's no unity there's
no full integration there's no full
internalization
so we too have to bring down the
nightmare for marcillus to brilliant
and into our own minds and into our own
hearts so i'm just going to suggest
one possible way of phrasing this
perhaps in terminology that's more
applicable at least to some of us
is it completely accurate i'm not sure
it's completely accurate
but i think it's somewhat accurate at
least according to my
understanding
this process that we're learning here is
really a very internal process within
ourselves
the journey of life is a journey from
namelessness
to names to distortion of names
in simple english the journey of life is
a journey from your pure essence which
is nameless
to the way your essence is given a name
by you
and by others to the way that name
becomes distorted through which your
self-concept
your self-concept conceptualization the
stories you tell yourself about yourself
become heavily distorted to the point
that you're now suffering from anxiety
or stress
or sometimes even trauma what is trauma
if not
a distorted name that you give yourself
sorted name that you give yourself
if there would be a world without names
it would be a very different world
we have a world of names but although
says remember that names come second
there's no real name everything is
really nameless you don't give names
first you have to understand that the
real
core doesn't have a name and it's true
within yourself that'll never says in
the court of the tortoise
never has a name the only time we start
introducing names is in the connection
between the shama and guf which means in
the connection
between the nameless reality the
featureless reality
and the reality that imposes categories
and definitions and descriptions
take a look and we sometimes did this in
the meditations that we did
right i look at this what do i see
what do i see what do you see a cup
a cup right this is a cup yeah
what's this you see all my furniture
another cup here and what's this
this is a fork right but now if you take
any of this
and you put it into the crib of a little
infant
and he or she is steering at this you
ever see how long they could stare at a
cup
how long can you stare at this cup you
get bored right
a baby could stare at the cup and look
at it from this side and then push it
over and look at it from the other side
the baby the top the infant or even the
toddler
free speech the baby free speech doesn't
have the name cup
the moment i start calling this a cup
i really stopped talking about it
because i imposed language on it and the
moment i gave it language
i put it into a category and the moment
i put it into a category it's now part
of a story
that i tell myself in my life everything
that a cup associates
with in my mind now with a cup it's not
a big deal
but if it comes to your mother and your
father
and your wife and your husband and your
children
and god and judaism and the community
and yourself the moment i have a name
the moment i look at you with a name i'm
looking at you from the prism of
language
the moment i look from the prism of
language
there's already a whole history to put
it differently
i'm not anymore living in the moment i'm
living in the past
i'm living with the stories that this
name is associated with with the
definitions and the way i
experience and i relate and i appreciate
those definitions which can be very
positive
and can sometimes be not positive
the baby is not driven to give it a name
i don't need a name for this
i'm just looking at the cup itself take
a raise remember we once did it with a
raisin right you take a raisin we look
at the raisin
it's a raisin no no no and then it's the
end of the story i already know what it
is
oh your wife comes into the room it's
your wife you know who she is no no i
don't know anything
i look at a raisin i don't have a name
for it i just look
i can feel it i can touch it i can touch
its texture
i can taste it i can just see it for
what it is without
the compulsive need to give it a name to
give it a description
everything in life we right away give
names that's the feature of growing up
we have a name for everything and that's
why
we stop living in the moment we're
living
with other associations we're living
with
past associations because everything has
a description everything
has a definition you said something to
me
and i don't actually tune into the words
i tune into the names
i give those words you come into the
room
or you communicate with me or i see
something in you
and i right away give it a name what
does it mean i give it a name
i put it in a filing cabinet i put it in
a box i categorize it i already brought
language into the process because that's
what names are
names is language in other words i give
it definitions
i explain what it means i already give
it meaning
once i give it meaning now i have all
these types of reactions either i'm very
excited or i'm very anxious or i'm very
rude or i'm scared or i'm angry or i
feel lonely
or i disassociate you see why because i
gave it a name
what does it mean i gave it a name i
already ascribed a certain meaning to it
based on my understanding based on me
not based on it
that's what it is now could we live in a
world without names
the bizarre deal would be nice to live
in a world without names right
abiding he wanted we should live in a
world of names
but in that world of names we should
learn siddhas
so that bamelu we could connect to a
place without names
so now let's go back to the essence i
hope you understand what i'm saying
because this is this is
you have to you have to get this this is
this is not so simple
because we're not trained to think like
this because we're trained already in
the world of names
i give everything meaning my teenager
said this to me oh right away there's a
name
obnoxious miserable angry
in other words i right away ascribe
meaning
to what you did to what you said to who
you are i already know you
i already know you i have a name for you
now everything just fits into that name
this is what language does
can i remain completely humble and
curious like that
little baby there's an expression in
your shine and we're learning it now in
basilica
i want a daven like a baby like a child
trevor sarivash from representation of
canaan i want a darwin like a tunic like
a child
why why like a child because a child
looks at the cup
and he doesn't see a cup he doesn't see
a story
he doesn't connect it with other stories
he doesn't ascribe and impose
his meaning and his experience of life
on it he just sees reality
and you know what that is that's very
powerful way of living try it out
not only with a cup try it out with
people try it out with yourself
try it out with god anee misbalazat
it's a very different reality it's
reality
it's reality and i don't have a name i i
don't have a name
sorry i don't have a name no name i'm
not tempted i don't have to put you in a
box i don't have to categorize you
you know the more cynical you are the
more scared you are the more names you
give people right
the more you need a control the more you
need to feel that you're in control
i'm not in control
tamar gish
a name is not bad a name is not bad
but a name is a limitation
a name is the channeling of the energy
to give it meaning now now listen to
this
once it has a name it can be traumatized
that's where the names become
distortions the name itself
is not a distortion the name itself is a
limitation
the name itself is a categorization the
name itself is putting it in a box
the name itself is language imposing
meaning and definitions on something
that is definitionless
at least i can't give my definitions
a name is channeling it and yes
putting it in a box there's a reason we
use a name cup you know why
the baby can't manufacture more cups
we say one second i need more of these
what's the materials it's made of we
give everything names
so we can do business with it so we can
use it for utilitarian purposes if it
doesn't have a name right then i say hey
go bring me a cup and instead you bring
me this
so you remember this story by the der
fluger right he asked for a brick
you remember and they asked for a brick
and he brought him something else and he
threw the brickie
and then he got upset when they were
building the tower it's all the nacilla
no shame
they wanted names
we live in a world we want to
communicate linguistically so what am i
supposed to say
i say
what am i supposed to say hey you
nameless one hey you
you nameless one but when we make a
barack who say baruch
no names
can we speak about
who's i not the name of i is also a name
i can also be a name i i o what does i
come
i i'm this i'm that i'm that no no no
don't give it a letter and don't give it
even a sign of a letter a little kites
even a little thorn a little apostrophe
a little
what's called the tagging those little
lines on top of the letters garnished
the eye of the eye the eye beyond the
eye because when i think about myself
i'm already self-conceptualizing
i'm already thinking who am i i'm
thinking about rabbi
jacobson jacobs and there's my pastors
my history this is what i know about
myself
this is what i'm feeling everything has
already interpretations and names
it doesn't look the soul doesn't have
names
that's why when you dive in for somebody
or we ask abrah let's say you go to arab
yeah people go to the oil let's say
there is oil a lot of people going this
week for yuchvat
or next week so you write your name and
your mother's name that's the minute
right you give a critical opinion why
why why do you write your name in your
mother's name because
what we're really looking for is that
our nameless
essence should be channeled
through the flow of identity
that we conceptualize within names in
other words the name represents
how your nameless essential core
is channeled and articulated in a world
of categories where the energy has to
assume a specific identity
that's the flow and you don't want that
flow to get distorted
because that's where distortion happens
in your essence there's no distortion
but when i start conceptualizing things
and giving them names
now i say i'm a loser i'm lonely
i'm a smarter i'm a cynic i'm
fearful i'm i have no self-esteem i can
do it i'm a slammazonic do you want me
to go on
about who i am
[Laughter]
right these are all names this is there
was a distortion
in my self-conceptualization the only
way to heal is
to go back to my nameless essence
to really go back to my nameless essence
and to exercise that muscle
that muscle of atmos that muscle of
namelessness
so now let's see how this works in the
cosmic picture hashem has no names no
names
no thoughts no thought can grasp it no
language
don't give language
much of our anger with god or much of
our anger with other people
is because we give it a name the moment
we give it a name
we ascribe certain things to it
everything when it has a name everything
changes
so in the core there's no names that's
the core
but creation is about
the flow of infinity into a world of
definitions
so in otsilus hashem assumes names
that's caleb that's the way infinity is
articulated
in language and in experience
but over there it's completely one with
him
he's one with his caleb because the name
is seen as a channel for infinity
your name is simply a way of expressing
infinity
through a particular prism what happens
in bria
embryo is already a sense of
separateness the name
is not experiencing itself as a flow of
infinity
the name becomes a fixed model and
that's why the world there
experiences itself as separate of the
divine because the name is not
anymore just a channel for infinity
that's the gulf between
atsila sambria as a result of that syria
asea
in lower states of consciousness there
can be trauma what's trauma
drama is when you don't even know your
essence anymore when your name becomes
completely divorced from your essence
and there's no connection between who
you are and who you think you are
between who you are and who you perceive
you are there's absolutely no connection
you're living in this fake false painful
lonely
anxious world in a cocoon because the
name now has been completely severed
from the essence
and that's lower states of reality where
i don't feel any more
that oneness but it all begins
distortion begins
with the fact that there can be a name
and not silas there's no distortion but
the fact that atsilas
allows for names is what allows
ultimately
for there to be separateness and then
ultimately for there to be estrangement
and alienation and trauma and loneliness
speaks from a place of attilas the
naviem need the new healing this is the
new healing in the days of the prophets
they need a new type of therapy a new
type of healing they can't just speak
the toyota vacillas
because their separateness there's a
sense of separateness
so they have to find the divine in the
brillia
in other words they have to be able to
realign
the names in the lower worlds with
hashem himself
that the calem of bria should be able to
be
completely one with the air of the
holocaust and no separateness
yes rabbanan
of course
right so so i it's a beautiful question
i just want to point out
we're very far from matsilas true but
we're also very close to godzilla
it both are true both are true we say
every morning
i hope you said it this morning i said
it this morning but i don't know if we
if we breathed it in but every morning
we say these words elekai
you said this already this morning i'm
sure you said it that's
a quarter to five right 4 45 in the
morning you were already saying it
so what are these words what do these
words mean hashem my god
the soul that you have given me that you
have imbued in me is pure
you created it you formed it you blew it
into me so the al-taraba asks in a mimer
he says one second
first we should say that you created it
and then we should describe its
properties
we should say nasham assad be the soul
that you have given me ataba rasa you
created it
you formed it and it's pure first tell
me
that it exists and then describe it to
me but that's not what we do we first
describe it and then we say you created
it
so it's it's if you would have to write
it he says it's
the order seems a little strange i mean
you can explain it but it seems a little
strange
so you know what although says i said it
a few weeks ago you remember
is the neshama the way it experiences
life from the perspective of vacillas
every single soul comes to matsillas
it's a khelik
in other words internally if you can
align your posture
with your true self just like the famous
chiropractors do
what do they do what do the famous
chiropractors do they want alignment
right
they want that the energy in the brain
should flow through the central nervous
system
through the spine and the spinal cords
and ultimately
create the seamless flow to all of the
organs
and limbs and the tissue and bones of
the body
all the way down till your feet and the
sole of your feet
you wonder the posture you know you see
a person walking you can see
if there is that alignment so atsillas
is the full pot when the soul is
standing and it's aligned with its full
posture
so the top of the soul is at syllabus
and then it's a flow
nesham means pure
tahira also means in aramaic light it's
divine light
ataba rasa then the soul goes into bria
the soul goes into its syria atana
and then you blow it into the body which
is a sea of atamoshambra bakirbi and now
you have to watch the summer
it shouldn't get distorted and
traumatized in our world you have to
watch the neshama
what this means is why did ancient
sagdollah
institute this this meditation every
morning
because every single one of us on our
deepest level
we are the manifestation of attilas
however
it comes down into lower realities so
you're right
you're right we're so far from it but
we're also so close to it
and both are very true we're far from it
in the sense that there is so much
distortion there is a lot of toxicity
sometimes there's a lot of trauma
we're also so close to it in the sense
that it's karave
it's who you really are it's who you
really are and therefore it's
it's available it's available to me it's
available to you
it's available to us so we have our
three processes we have the nameless
reality
we have reality once it's channeled
through a name
but the name is still one with the
essence
why because the name doesn't eclipse the
essence
the name channels the essence
and then we have the way the name
becomes separated from the essence
the name becomes somewhat of a trap the
name becomes
the name the name becomes a sense of
separateness it's not anymore the name
channeling the infinity so when i hear
the name i don't get stuck in the name i
just see the name as a way of channeling
the core
but rather i can get stuck in the name i
don't know that there's anything outside
of the name
that's the beginning in the world of
bria where you don't say ihoova
garmayichad in other words we experience
reality as self-contained we give it a
name
rather than divine infinity and that was
part of the plan of creation and then
there's yeti and there's asea and then
there's a point where the name could
become completely separated to the point
that you can't even
see the connection to the source and
that's where there is
the distortions of life psychologically
and emotionally
and it all comes from this spiritual
devolution
from the namelessness into acilis and
then into the lower worlds
and it's the naviem it's the naveem who
feel responsible to bring back the light
of god into people's souls
the light of gambia's souls is not by
preaching it's by revealing their lacus
in you
you have to be able to experience your
own oneness with infinity
so for this they have to be makhadesh
valdik
what's the voice is the name of briya
but can it be hashem's name how can
briya be hashem's name it's a
contradiction in terms
this was the kiddish that the kalim of
biriyah
should be able to become names of hashem
meaning that you could say ihu vigar
you can call hashem by the name when i
call you by the name i'm referring to
you
i'm not referring to anything else in
other words when you call hashem by
enemy say this is the name of hashem
you're really saying that what
that this is hashem that means that the
separateness of the world of briya can
also become one
mamish with the truth with the lacus
ah
half little
is everybody as excited as i am now
um
yeah lonely we're lonely i'm afraid to
get hurt
i'm afraid it's a vulnerable world names
are much easier
you i give you a name a name name name
name name name name
and i'm safe and the worst is you give
yourself a name
the moment i give my wife a name even
the name wife
right i give anybody a name i give my
child a name
i think of them in terms of language
rather than in terms of pure reality
it brings up a bunch of other stuff
which have nothing to do with the
present reality
think about it a name i don't only mean
a name
sorry i'm not just we're not talking
about the concept of a name
a name means you give it categories
right a cup a raisin you define it you
you feel the need to define what
happened
don't define what happened imagine you
can do that
imagine your spouse can tell you
something and don't
define what she said don't define it
don't look at the raisin and say raisin
don't say raisin don't it's not a raisin
just look at it
just be curious don't define it
you know what will happen you're gonna
be living
in the now and you're gonna respond
from a place of freedom
the therapists agree with me
but it's not easy to do
it's a very deep exercise it's very very
deep exercise
because we're always giving definitions
we think that without definitions we
can't live
we don't realize that if we want to live
we have to get rid of definitions
the gemara says in tamid what should a
person do
in order to live you know what the
gemara says you have to die
what does this mean we think that in
order to live
you have to give everything definitions
you have to define it
you have to right away tell stories
no if you want to start living you have
to liberate yourself from the need
to put everything into a box to give it
a story to give it a category you know
the moment i say in my mind
here he goes again here she goes again
right and right away right away
comes up with stories about me i'm not
good enough
it's all subconscious it's all it's not
i'm not trying to do this consciously
but i'm just not open to the flow of the
moment
i don't know did you hear this fascemas
yesterday tomorrow that we turned taught
right what ghoul is what's google over
very beautiful words right
what's means there's
now what does now mean
don't define it don't put it into
yesterday's story
and two days ago and a week ago and a
month ago a year ago a decade
but how could i my sister sent me a text
my brother sent me a text my mother sent
me a text my wife sent me a text my
channel sent me a text
right away boom there's a story there's
a definition this is what's happening i
already
already know their emotions which
triggers my emotions oh
what
yeah yeah i i don't i don't mean death
literally
i mean the death of definitions of names
so you'll so you'll say rabbi it's all
very nice but you can't be a crazy
person
there's a cup but yes
that's the point you have to always i
know that we live in a world of names of
course i know that
but you have to know and recognize the
gulf
you have to recognize the separateness
you have to recognize
that there is a very serious transition
from namelessness to names that you have
to humbly look at
and be able to be cognizant of all of
the distortions that happen in that
process
so if you really want to if you really
understand this mimery and boy you know
what you really understand
you understand the origin and the
development of trauma
you see how it develops from a space of
namelessness it turns in
we become creatures filled with names
and this is where my self-concept comes
from i have to
i feel that i have to put myself in
context
i have to conceptualize myself when i'm
when i feel an emotion or an experience
what do i do
i don't feel it i give it a name i right
away give it a name
this is what i'm feeling and you know
i'm feeling it because of this
which means i'm this which means i'm not
that
before i know it within two minutes i'm
already angry at the world and i'm alone
in the world but it all came because i
had to give every feeling a name every
emotion a name
right away there was a name
what if i wouldn't what if i wouldn't do
that
i can actually live with the present
energy
without the need to put that energy in a
box
and define it in a particular way which
makes it part
of another story of another narrative
and doesn't actually allow me to fully
be present
to what happened right now and as a
result of that
my entire internal experience
is very affected because i was forced in
my own mind i was forced
that i have to right away give this a
name and process it in a certain way
and impose my language on it and
therefore it connects with everything
else in my life
and therefore i come to certain
conclusions and now i'm more
separate than you there's less less
oneness
the more i can transcend the world of
names the more i go into a world of
oneness with me
and one is with you and one is with the
cosmos
because in the ultimate source there's
oneness and yet we live in a world of
names
and that's the process the transition
that altered is describing in this minor
there's a song that a jewish songwriter
once wrote
he said i forgot the exact words but to
something of this nature
the only thing we knew about jack
was that his name was not jack
the only thing we know knew about jack
is that his name was not jack
right pretty deep the only thing i know
about you
is that your name is not
is not jack or stephen or george that's
the only thing i know about you but you
know what
that's something that's a
that's a lot better than other people
we right away we give language you see
names is language
like the moment there's language
everything changes
so you'll say so we should stop talking
so are we having a share
you're right that's why silence
is more powerful than language and i'm
not only talking about language of words
even languages of thought we think in
language also i'm not talking about
language when i speak even when i think
i impose language i impose words
and that's where the the beginning of
that is spherus caleb
structures containers now caleb are
lacus
because caleb are channels for infinity
through the world of definitions
but then there's a sense of separateness
and then
there's a sense of distortion and then
there is trauma
and now we have to heal and svoice is
the beginning of healing
tsvayas is the beginning of realignment
of separateness into oneness
and it took a woman a jewish woman by
the name of khanna
to recognize this that's what the
gomorrah says from the day hashem
created the world
there was nobody to call hashem's voice
until khanna came along
it's not just giving hashem a name
calling hashem a name means that you
could find him
through this feature through this
name you could find him in other words
you're realigning
the name and him in other in other words
you're realigning
identity with infinity
in atsillas that's what attila says
and that's what moisha taught and that's
what the whole turtle is
but to do that in bria it's voice is
already to do that in bria that was
hama's revolution
now you want to know how the altar even
knew this
what should i tell you
on the summer that its pasture is always
rooted in the ancient scifi
experiences all of this when the neshama
is
rooted in ain't safe then the flow comes
through it
okay let's take some questions
well everyone every ever saddik
experience is rats versus that's what we
learned in the miami
that the kiosk is always mati
mati right razor shave there's always
the razor
razor is to ascend to the nameless world
to the nameless reality
and shiva is going back into names going
back into definitions
going back into the trenches ratsa is
i always want to touch that which is
nameless i yearn
[Music]
you know probably that this is a
that was composed by the balatanya by
the altar
so that's the rossi
i want to go to a place beyond the names
because that's where we could connect
face to face
once said in the mind he says
you know what martin toyota was hashem
says i that the
should become hashem i want that your
names
should be able to be filled with a naive
i want that
he should become your ali meaning
your god it's the way you describe god
it's the way you experience god it's the
way you give hashem a name
your god it should be an
should be a naive
you open the yods the yuja is the way
the energy is contracted and restricted
in the yud
that every living organism should be
able to experience the pure watson
the pure inner desires
should become your experience of hashem
should not be constricted
and restricted it should be an open
channel from a nike and it begins with
yourself
my self-conceptualization
should be annoying in other words i
should not get stuck
in my inner story of articulating myself
in a particular way
it should always remain open to the to
the pure
nameless essence that is never defined
and limited by a particular feature
i'm going to take a few questions
besides the questions that we had
already
and just to announce tomorrow morning
we're also going to have a shirt
7 30 and we're going to try to finish
the mayamer basilagani
that we began we had already had four
shirim and i want to finish it tomorrow
hashem and then i hope blina there that
friday morning
7 30 will be able to finish this mimer
please review the mimer please i'm
asking you
so you can understand very well the
first two paragraphs
so then azir hashem friday we could
finish the last two paragraphs of the
mimer from vahine
and and ultimately get the full picture
as much as we can to understand the
uniqueness of the name
of the name zvayus let me take a few
questions if there are
if there's no questions is that good
okay
i have a question let's see the question
why didn't there abbayam just write out
the mimer before shabbat suryamtif
so that would it would just be as they
desired and not dependent on the memory
of the khaisrim
so the truth is like this the altareb
did not wrong or did not write
he only wrote the shulham and the tanya
and a few things that he wrote on his
own his true verses answers
but he wanted the khai is them to write
it could be it was an issue of time
and also it could be that he wanted that
they should really internalize the
material
after the al-taraba the rabbayim did
write most of their maimarum
but they also had khaizrim who wrote
there my modem often
the rebbe went back to the style of the
altareba where he almost wrote nothing
of his talks
almost and he relied completely on the
khaizrim
to write it and perhaps this was a way
of also training people to take
responsibility for the material
you say that svayas is a lower source it
comes from briya
so humash are the names uttered by
hashem himself
names for himself is that how it works
yes
is dictated by hashem and hashem
dictates his names my name is ali kim my
name is kale my name is yut kevafke
so these names come directly from hashem
himself
but when it's speaking about the tanakh
the naveem spoke with divine inspiration
but it's not the same level of torah
so that's the idea that sivayas is a so
to speak lower name
indeed we'll soon see that in a way it
becomes a higher name as we will see in
the continuation of the maya
khan introduces the name tsvyas how do
we know this
well we know what the gemara says in
brachas that khan is the first one to
say
what is hashem she speaks she dives
on hashem or to hashem and she calls him
hashem's voice
so that's how we that's how that's how
we know it
if a person grew up alone on an island
with food to eat he would have no
language
no names for anything he himself would
have no name even to refer to himself
so before creation hashem didn't honor
utter any words
in other words he didn't give anything a
name only with the ten utterances of
creation and bearish is that hashem
first create words and names
for his creations let there be light
it was not only the way that hashem
created light
but it was also the source of the name
for light yes
in many ways if you wish you can
describe
creation as the creation of language
beratious is the beginning of the
creation of language
that's true and the creation of language
is what creates a world that perceives
itself as separateness
in other words in many ways and this is
an expression of siddhis you can say
what is creation
creation is the descent into isis
writes this a lot creation is
the divine infinity entering into the
realm of letters into the world
realm of language into the realm of
words
because that was the purpose that was
the purpose of creation
the purpose of creation is that god did
not want to be
on an island without language without
names for anything
we don't want to live on an island
in fact beresha's describes creation of
man it says
or woman it says
the other became a living soul what does
the target uncle
say
a communicative soul what does it mean
to be alive
relationships communication so that is
essential
to life it becomes essential to life
because all of life
as we know it is god articulating his
energy
giving it language so when he says let
there be light
you know what makes the light what makes
the light is
that there's a name for light there was
light before everything was before
everything is from hashem everything was
before
if you want to say it this is a little
abstract
everything was be everything existed
before but it didn't have a name
it says when adam was created he gave
names to all the animals
he gave names yeah and that
that represents creation everything
existed
but we wouldn't know it existed because
it didn't have a name
and because it didn't have a name it
didn't exist the way we define existence
but it existed without a name
i hope you you get really what i'm
saying this is this is not simple
don't take this with words take this
with with with the place beyond words
what we call existence by definition
is things that have a name
names are required to direct anger but
also to express
love or any other positive emotion of
course that's why there are names
definitions are not bad
that's how i express love but
it's already a particular flow of energy
within a particular framework and
structure
can there is no way we can live without
names
we have to talk we have to communicate
the awareness of entering into a
relationship or naming something without
judgment
is maybe another way to speak about this
and maybe this is what you want to say
yes that's the point we live with names
we talk we communicate we have
names we we're supposed to name children
right
the flow of energy comes through the
name because that's what creation is
creation was the process of namelessness
descending into names if a toddler for
the rest of his life is just going to
look at the cup and not be able to name
it
we consider that a very challenging and
painful situation
we want the child to begin to
communicate
we want him or her to learn the alphabet
to be able to learn words to be able to
create sentences paragraphs ultimately
to write and to communicate
we don't see it is a curse we see it as
the ultimate blessing
but we have to appreciate the
the the the process of creation
we have to appreciate that language
comes from a place that's beyond
language
and that language as much as it reveals
it also conceals
that's another expression of the altered
an unbelievable expression
as much as language reveals it also
conceals it reveals because without
language
how can we communicate how can i
articulate my ideas to you and you to me
how can i articulate my emotions
but language also conceal because they
define everything
and the solution is not to obliterate
language the solution is to align
language with silence and that's what
the maya is trying to teach us
set it up to be this way so he
starts with a length with namelessness
goes into names only to have us work to
get back to the place
he wants us to get to it's a process
that he wants for us what's the point
well ultimately the purpose of creation
is
the complete fusion of the infinite and
the finite
or of that which transcends language
with language itself
so that's fusion it's what we once
learned in the mime if you remember tiku
we learned the mimer of tikku klau pratt
and klau you remember we start with klau
we go to pratt
klal is beyond language practice
language and then klaula's language
is again beyond language
maybe this is the reason when we go
to base over we don't talk since the
pain is so great we don't want to frame
it
yeah generally silence often
captures much more than words because
once we speak
and say it in words we already give it a
framework we give it a structure
dr ebba had a son and he did not like to
speak his name was
i mentioned two other boys beard and
mittle
but there was a middle son of primavera
looked like his father that's why when
the altarebes picture came out when the
painting was publicized
it was a painting that was made by a
non-jew so the question is is it
authentic
and uh one of the ways they knew it was
authentic is because many people
remembered abraham avraham
dr ebba's son who they said looked just
like his father
so so they saw the picture they knew the
painting they knew was authentic
he did not like to speak and
they used to nudge him and beg him and
ask him and he did not want to he was
just not
he was just a very very very
internalized person
and he just did not want to communicate
and he once they pleaded with him so
much
he said okay he was like forced and they
he said
after minute shall i show this will say
something
so he sat down finally and the crowd
came
and he opens his mouth and he said juan
passage
i have concealed your words in my heart
so that i don't sin to you and he
wouldn't say anything else
but he was explaining that all
communication
is a form of sin what we mean by sin is
distortion we have to communicate
but we have to realize the limits of
communication
communication forces things into a box
into a structure into a framework
and therefore we always strive to
transcend
that communication it says in rabbenu
yana writes
in the name of your xiaomi quoted on the
torah
only with difficulty allowed us to speak
the words of tehran shabbos
even the retail wise says because dibor
is already
concretizing life and shabbos
is the ascent of the worlds from dibor
into mahashava and into the panamies so
that
says what are you supposed to do on
shabbos is trump is he supposed to sing
supposed to be silent it's not the time
of words
in reality they allowed us to speak
words of tehran shambas
but it was a it was a difficulty it was
it was a cushy
it was a cushy okay
i wish you all a beautiful day a day in
which we confuse
our nameless cores with the world of
names and communication and definitions
remember it's always about posture
remember standing straight
or sitting up straight they tell me i
always have to sit straight like this
with two feet on the ground on the earth
so what is that really it's that you
want that your head
should always remain in that syllabus
and your legs are nasir
so that way you could become a conduit
for the flow
and not if i'm sitting
right like you know people sit like this
all day huh you know they sit like this
yeah
so the chiropractor said it's not good
for you it's not good for your neck it's
not good for your back it's not good for
your attention
but let's go one step deeper the real
issue is it's not good fratzillas
you understand you need to flow you need
that flow
i'm not just talking about physically
i'm talking about psychologically
emotionally spiritually
you want your name to be aligned with
your core
that is beyond names
the guy who started chiropractic said
the purpose of the chiropractic
adjustment is to unite
spiritual and man with
and the when the physical
system is flowing smoothly the life
energy that they
should puts in the layout travels
through the body and expresses itself
fully i've seen who um
are incredibly um commented with uh
pretty high um spiritual sales type
things
they don't have a lot of them that's the
difference so their lives can be very
not so
easy but
interesting interesting
yeah concretizes
the spirituality the vision of
spirituality into reality
is the 365 and zikri with k
is 248 and the reason it's so powerful
is it comes from the zohar
because god says this is the way to call
me by my name forever and this is the
way to remember me for generations
because throughout history people come
up with many different spiritual methods
through which to remember him through
which to connect
to the energy you know like you
mentioned chiropractory which
the founder of chiropractor in 1895 says
it's the way to fuse the spiritual and
the physical
the power of god says if you really want
to
have my name possess my name and
remember me from generations make sure
you have the ramach mitzvah's essay and
the summit
that's the using this word of
chiropractory that's the divine posture
the divine posture is we have 248 limbs
and 365 gideon whether it's arteries
sinews and this
it comes from the divine pasture of the
positive mitzvah 365. so when my
physical and emotional and spiritual
pasture is aligned with god's posture
so then there is a seamless flow of of
practice with the energy chiropractic is
practiced with the hands in latin
yes okay and yesterday yesterday i had
two
their um in some areas are like
boards they're so stiff and yet both of
these people are putting out a lot of
life energy you know they're very
sympathetic and very energetic
high level of putting out although other
people can
have that stiffness of the spine and it
can affect them very
very negatively
thank you for bringing so much healing
to god's children
that's part of being an ambassador of
love light hope and healing
not just in training and not just a
junior one but also a senior one
without um artificial noises when they
got to be dark
it was dark and when the sun came up the
sun came up
and it was so still i heard that there's
um people in the far far north where
there's
so much snow that they can carry on a
conversation sometimes
from three four five miles away when
it's when there's no when there's no
wind
because the the communication travels
so easily over the barren snow
that's incredible that's incredible
stillness so
a challenge for a lot of people we have
so many distractions people have the
phone two phones three phones on their
hip
constantly ringing
you can't live that way it's too hard
too many distractions
you need to live in a place of stillness
you need to go into a place of stillness
yeah give me five minutes of your day
but those five days should be exclusive
don't
give me five minutes of your day but
those five minutes should be exclusively
mine
yeah it should be five hours
it's very special to be able
to be separated and aloof
even while you're amidst the masses and
to be able to be
alone even when you're mingling
with many people in other words what he
meant was
don't forfeit your stillness
remain anchored in your authenticity
even when you're among the masses
and you have to be integrated and you
need to communicate
