Protect our senses
So much negativitiy
We shouldn’t expose ourself to harmful stuff
Whats the idea of brit mila
Before Hashem makes the brit
First cut and then the brit
Kiddushin before nisuyin
Sefira of yesod
Sefira of the brit
Not men looking at women
We are choosing what we are bonding with
Avraham: his design
What about Yishmael’s purpose
That he would bring the one infinite Gd to the whole world
Where Avraham will be focus inward
You are not constricted the expansiveness
You are channeling it
Naturally we want to know whats happening in the world
A natural knowing
The brit
Don’t just spill potention
Don’t just connect to everything
Choose what you are bonding to
Davka not needing to bond with everthing
And enter that internal space
Yesod haAvoda
If youre doing inner work whats the foundation
The center is the inner knowing of Hashem
To clarify for the world and the person
The foundation is the emuna
That is constantly emerging
Clarifying to the whole world and to you
How exalted is the world and his creator
And of course the magnitude between a person and the creator
This experiential knowing
Of how deep our intrinsic connection is with Hashem
All the resources of evertything we want
This deep knowing
This knowledge comes forth
And within ourselves
It imprints its seal
In our bitachon
Ahava, dveikut, oneg
In the pleasure and deep yearning of all of our desires
Of the LIVE elokim
The aspect within nature that is alive
The desire and joy
Is feeling Hashem within nature
Our lives
The impact on our ahava and our yira
Begin with this deep Emunah
Our experience of THE KNOWING
THAT WE ARE INTRINSICALLY AND EXALTEDLY
CONNECTED TO HASHEM
What if our inner world doesn’t see it this way?
What if you aren’t always connected?
Emuna comes in the dark
This experience I have within me
Even if I don’t understand
My neshama knows
BY DEFINITION
AYN OD MILVADO
There has to be an Emunah with me
A place where I can go to
My intrinsic connection
The universal content
Has an essential existence
And there yeshut
The IS-NESS
In its source
Has an inner essence
But the content in our life
That’s mundane
And tameh blocked
Has no essential character
Doesn’t exist and have an essence of taiva
Its own ratzon
Rather its just an external pushing of extential things
Of illusions
That distract you from its essence
The power the chiut of the emotion
Outside the content of it
Is so connected to the lifeforce of everything
So deeply bound with elokut
That we can see it from this chitzoniut
Whats the light
The potency of what I am experiencing
Whats the I WANT
UNDERNEATH
I WANT SOMETHING
The experience of Is-ness
How to approach the experience of a yerida
To understand
Even when it feels so real
Is just the harsh shell
To experience you to Hashem
No matter what falling
Is just a harsh shell
That contains
Hashem
When we move through constriction
If we go through it with the intention
We are finding Hashem
Our experience of Hashem is a whole new Torah
The nature of accessing the light
Likutei moharan
What is the hiddenness of the hiddenness
What part of hashem is hidden within there
THE SOD OF SODOT
The most profound aspect of hashem
We find them by shedding the harsh shell of perception
Why don’t we choose to do a sin if we can do teshuva mahava afterward
We are creating more of an illusion
If we were to stop the ratzon
Before I want…
That is tefilla
We spend the whole day wanting
TAKE THE RATZONOT BACK TO HASHEM
TEFILLAH
Is elevating it to the infinity of Hashem
HR: if you pause you can feel
Negativity
And feel “I don’t have the best intention”
It can be an old wound
Can be conosiurs
Of these wounds, they want to be freed
Or hashem turns up the volume
…
On anxiety and weakness
Sometimes we feel weak
I don’t have the power and strength right now
We are familiary with anxiety
We look to geula
They are a signs of a state that is going to the content of gadlus
Mochin dkatnus: thinking right now. Im in the distraction of live
Mochin dgadlus
expanded consciousness
The sense of weakness and axiety and working toward gadlus
Gadlut itself is strengthening through weakness and anxiety
This anxiety to trust
As we are re-jigging the system
World and self
As we are moving toward gadlut
It doesn’t let any part of us stagnate
The inner soul level currents
Are running like a large raging river
Because all our neshamas
Want a constant state of shalom
And therefore because everything is getting jigged
From constriction to expansion
Our soul just wants peace
It binds within ourself
This constant storming ourselves
Its this movement of everything being jigged toward gadlut
The inner storyness
Is being manifested through this sense of anxiety
Your neshama just wants peace
But if we tap into our weakness / anxiety of the worlk
Mamkeihen
What are you REALLY EXPERIENCING
EVEN AT THE SAME TIME OF THE STORMYNESS
LIES THE INNER TRUST
We get scared of our anxiety
The thoughts are stressing you out
Instead of going out
Go in
And you will recognize the movement
Of internal trust
In the external world it feels like anxiety
Its almost the feeling
Of rabbi nachmans lech lecha
When you are struggling with the earthliness
You discover the place
Where your neshama is carved
Through the constrictions
Even our yeridot
Theres a midda emerges
Theres an I
That’s going through it
In itself theres a new depth
That is awakened
This yesurim
When you are under all the stuff
In the grave
Your chesronot
Or lack of Torah
The pain of Im not there right now
IM NOT IN DEVEIKUS
Its like the cleansing FIRE
THAT CLEARS OUT THE NESHAMA
From there the soul wants to GAZE AT THE NESHAMA
OTHERWISE WE ARE IN THE
IM OK I GUESS
I used to know how to connect to you
Meditate
This awakens the deep knowing of Hashem
That’s what awakens our knowing that we are intrinsically connected to hashem.
The state of
Rejection of spirituality in the world
Rejecting Gd
So many people are like
No thank you
Sometimes we have days we don’t get it
We cant reach the heights we’ve reached
When a person feels destroyed
In your spiritual growth
Know that the time has come
To build a new building
That is more stable and glorified
Than the first
That building was destroyed because you have a new one to build
You strengthen yourself
I HAVE A NEW BUILDING
TO BUILD
IN TIKKUN OF MY ACTIONS
IN a beautiful order
And a newfound courage of heart
With a clear desire
And a heart with an inner joy
Because Hshem is GOOD AND STRAIGHT
He teaches his depth to those who have been humbled
To the same extent
That your inner mussar
You are refining the sense of torah
And it gets sharper
You also start to see your own nakedness
Blocks and constrictions that are not fixed
And this inner bitterness of your sould
Your state in Torah that is not being developed is overcoming within you
Until it is sooooo bitter
As you become sensitive to how big Hashem is
My blocks are so big
Bitterness
But with all of this
Anyone with a straight heart could understand
HOW TO RECEIVE THIS SPECIFIC TCHONA
It brings you to precious middot
And characteristics of clarity
Gives you clarity
To where your avoda is going
And what you can bring to Hashem
We get bogged down in the bitterness
Im so far
The fact you know you are far…
The part of you that knows how far you are
Is the part you know where you can fix
Most people don’t have the emuna that you can harm
Lkalkeil
And it pains you that you are fallen
That same Emunah builds you us
This spiritual quality that allows you to feel broken
Is the same quality you have to open to new heights.
If you have fallen
Because of you weakness
I am far
Pay attention in your heart
Put your heart on this fact
In the very depths of this ocean
From there
One must draw up the most precious pearls
That can only be found there
The ratzon
And experience of wanting Hashem so deeply
If we realize how powerful that gem is
Go into that ratzon
That in itself will open us up
The knocking of geula
The soul knocking
He will return and elevate his strength
With new serenity
The light of the world
From the Ohr Kedem
This principal applies in the whole generation
Withing the falling lies the biggest chance to rectify
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
Before Brexit.
The country was in shambles
What do you think and what leader do we need.
The point now is not what happens to Brexit
Are we going to have a leader that took a constricted state and shows a new light
When a nation is doing well
Theres no capacity to show whats possible
But in ourselves
When we face all the nefilot
It opens me up to not what is my state in the nefila
But
What is BIGGER
Experience of being in the downfall
This nefila and externals
Is revealing a deeper inner desire
When all the thoughts are totally overcoming you
And you are under pressure
Because of the beauty of you experiencing
Your own world in your own way
And you are mamash not good
Don’t be a rasha in your own eyes
From this SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE
WE CAN GET TOTALLY SWALLOWED UP
A person can take you away in the bitterness
And you can feel far
NO
This experience itself
This inner storms did not come for any other reason
Didn’t come to uproot your dveikus
The gesher
This experience of feeling so low
Is the bridge taking us from
Our constricted reality
To this new stronger place
We DON’T WANT TO GO BACK
COVID
Naase vnishma
Every time we go through the yerida
Has to be constricting otherwise it wont be constricting
A new OLAM IS OPENING UP
WHEN WE DON’T KNOW
WE ARE OPEN TO EVERYTHING
….
This is the gog umagog
Before geula
I had this dream… I visualized this cup
You start in the foundation
It wont actually hold anything in the base
It feels open and great
Then we go into this constriction
It feels my entire being is getting constrictied
As you are going through the glass
As we emerge from it
We emerge into a vessel
To something we can hold to hold
Whatever it is we want to hold
Its better to be in the vessel
Hashem I used to know you
Whats going on
Youre BEING SQUISHED
THE FIRE THAT CLEANSES YOU
IF WE JUST HAD Avraham Yitzchak and Yaakov
That consciousness wouldn’t have lasted
They had to go through the cor habarzel
Mitzrayim
The model of the next geula
But when your whole building is getting destroyed
Then the vision
Is so bigger
Rw:
So apropos in this world of covid
Of not knowing
Of uncertainty
Of unpredicablity
What we attach our thoughts to all day
May hashem
Mamash
For us
You are going to sense your nefilot
The parts you don’t like much stronger
That we have the Emunah to metaken
That we see it as a bridge to a bigger world
We are willing to go inside the experience
To really hold us
And transform us
The whole world will be covered with this consciousness
The healing of our very souls and hearts
And may we see it as a channel to something much bigger
All the unknowing is a just an opening
The whole world is in an unknowing
Whatever the constriction is
That the constriction is a bridge
To the new world
Oct 22 / 4 cheshvan
Your neshama in some kind of way
That’s deep
Already within this
Is turning to geula
The fact that it is expressing itself
The light of yeshua is ready to be revealed
AFTER THIS DARKNESS
Its not to be scared of
OH MY NESHAMA IS TALKING TO ME
Look what it feels like to feel deep
That’s the joy and the light
That doesn’t have a vessel yet
Its expressing itself
This yeshua comes in a connective reality
It is allowing the yeshua to come
If you listen to it
YOU ARE ALREADY BRINGING THE YESHUA
The fact that we feel this way
We are definitely in the world right now
THE WORLD IS KNOCKING
THE NESHAMA OF THE WORLD
I WANT MORE
I KNOW THAT I WANT SO MUCH MORE
People don’t want to go back to life before corona
I want ULIMATE SAFETY
ULTIMATE HEALTH
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT GEULA
THEY DON’T KNOW IT YET
These things exist
Within the individual person
And they exist in the entirety of our nation
Its expressed and manifest in differently
Why is it mainly happening
In the collective
These states are being revealed
To those who think excellent thoughts
Machshavot: those conscious moment
That you suddenly see a new world
Seeing new insights come to them
Those are the people experiencing the neshama of the klal
Feeling the constriction
Listening TO THE REVERBERATIONS OF THE WHOLE WORLD
AND there are even some
This voice comes from withing
The aspect of the pain comes from looking at the klal
I don’t think everyone was worried about the whole world
Even people judging people for not keeping the rules
Not having the same political view
THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE KLAL
THE COUNTRY
The pain is stronger
The pain of the whole nation
Don’t be scared to go into the klaliut of the whole people
Before you daven
Connect to Am Yisrael
Theres enormous pain
Theres the constriction
Existentialy
Atzmaut hazot
THIS PAIN IN ITSELF IS ANNOUNCING THE GEULA
Its going and its coming
Its surging
Somehow tap into this process
Finding the parts of ourselves in this constriction
Moving from the whole world to the geula its announcing
Piaseczner
Lived geula in the galut
Even he has questions that I don’t have answers for
Rabbi Nachman
When you access the consciousness you can access geula
Going from no one being in deeper Torah; secular jews into it now.
Geula: POINTY IS THE HOPE LIKE THE “egg”
What if corona is the expression
If the geula doesn’t come
We are IN THE PROCESS
Seeing rav Kook
You need so much patience
So much ability to know it doesn’t happen at once
WE CAN ALL OPEN UP TO MOMENTS IN OUR LIVES
Every once in a while we see it
SAVLANUT FOR THE PROCESS
The ultimate geula: the inner state of consciousness
We feel rejected because no one sees our light
Theres this enormous light
Of what our soul is aware of
That’s our light of moshiach
When we are able to hold space
Bring out its gentleness
One day after the next
We bring our our OHR SHEL MOSHIACH
We activate moshiach in the physical world
Devorah: the oil and the water
The beauty: the first day
Unconscious connected to water
Divine presence hovers over the surface of the water
Light; was good. Gd separated from darkness
The earth and the heavens are together and not speaking to each other
The initial light going into the separation
Reverse
Now we are in the separation of light and dark
We are going back to Ohr echad
The choshech is only an illusion
We are in a paradox
We are in 2 things that came from nothing
They are totally separate
The part there is no COMMUNICATION
STAND WITH IT
DELVE INTO IT AND DRAW OUT treasures from it
Standing in the place
Come through it.
In the mabul
The maai tahur
The water from above
And the murkey waters from below
More conducive to tikkun
How to live our lives in the murky waters in the world
To merge with the geula
Doing the weird dance of living in both worlds
We find ourselves
This movement is expressing geula
Hanna roen: we notice darkness;
We put our attention on it is light
I don’t want to look at it
Its scary
This is hurting really bad
That attention is light
To sit and look at it and be objective
That’s the light
THE LIGHT IS THE KAV THAT TAKES THE LIGHT OUT OF HIDING AND BRINGS THE LIGHT TO KETER
See the emotion
To watch it
One of the main ideas in geula
The idea to see the chochma in the sechel
To experience the inner dimension
Every detail of whats going on
Whats the essence
That’s the way rav kook looked at the whole world
We can train ourselves
He say the nekuda tova
The whole world will be activated with that level of consciousness
The whole world will act with this nekuda tova
Rabbi Sutton
No: moshiach comes and
Hamtik: wait
But also the idea we are bringing the geula, the whole world is bringing daat
The waters covering the ocean
When you see the ruchniut
This relationship of everything that is
It fills your nefesh
It fills you with a love greater than your fear and awe
Fills you with serenity
More than bitterness
Or distress
Its one level to get there as an individual
Its harder as a nature
The neshama within us
We have these moment where we see it in our neshama
The klal
Is the whole inner world
To be able to bring up to the level of consciousness
That’s the hard thing
The idea of the people
In Israel
This desire for Elokut
Everything from the perspective of Hashem
Initially emerges in a negative way
In a rejection of torah
Rav Kook:
Sympatic Eloki
This sympathy with Gdliness and wanting to see everything
Our inner rejection
It doesn’t manifest in light
It initially appears in a negative light
It starts to drive out all the foreign things
That are not on a neshama connection
Perceptions of a world
Coming initially from the perspective
Of a HARSH THREATENING experience
Why would you want to put pressure on yourself
Not the truest perception of elokut
These threatening images are coming from all the FORCES
SHEL kabalat malchut shamayim
Coming from a place of a lack of Yirat harommemut
The clear of whole love
Of receiving malchut shamayim
The child of Avraham
The part we are coming from a love of Hashem
And according to the overwhelming rejection
Of these who are qualified in this
Machane hagadol
The next level of emergence
From the PEOPLE WHO KNOW HASHEM
THEY HAVE TO STRENTHEN THEMSELVES
WHERE THE ELOKUT
IS THE MOST INFINITE KEDUSHA
That part of us does the work
Process it all
That’s how we get to eretz yisrael
Ability to connect to the NEXT LEVEL
EVEN MORE REAL
THE BRING THE LIGHT
THAT’S PART OF US THAT IS ALREADY CONNECTED
WITH the parts that are struggling
The savlanut comes from BINA
THE MIDDA OF THE MOTHER
THE UNDERSTANDING AND DISCERNMENT OF THE HEART
Seeing chaos in the world
The pulse of the world
Sees whats going on
The next part
The ability to hold the womb for 9 months
Knowing
It happens naturally
Holding space to grow safely
Beyond our comprehension of that
All this drive to prove everyone else wrong
This kaas
NO YOURE WRONG
It comes up to us in our inner world
No! I have to show them the truth
That kaas is the left over of
Meei moriva
You rebellious ones
Evene when it ends up in a place of kedusha
Arguing in torah
The end is shalom
Lets shout at each other
The harshness of the words
Left and impact of the heart
ADINUT
This gentleness the subtlty of the the process
And let it be part of the process
Yoter mkol lashon ayn anachnu… stira
We are not able to bear the contradiction
And lack of soul level oneness of everything coming together
The peace and wholeness of unity
In their ideal form
Its just temporary
In the future it will all come to gether
We will become ONE NATION
THE whole annoyance
Why cant everyone
Mevaseret geula
Announceing the design to become one
Silver: when bad people come together
The tower of bavel; they are just coming together; they are not doing anything bad; however when good people come together even when theres no consciousness and effort.
We can get there by being together
A vision of hope
Me:
The ability to see the inner dimension
To see people screaming at each other
They are BOTH SEEING A BETTER WORLD
Protests: they are blowing the shofar
They don’t even know what they want
They are screaming for it
For ATZILUT
THE THING THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR
NO ONE SHOULD WEAR MASK
EVERYONE TO WEAR THEIR MASKS
WE CAN see the world like rav kook
Man working out
Preparing body for geula
Last paragraph of orot ha
The revelation of the harmony
Ner ha elyon
That is revealed in all its details
It rises and falls
The harmful parts, its scatteredness
Its light and its darkness
Within all
From all
And all
Within us and am yisrael
And everything outside
Everything is incorporated within its essence
It leads and it centers
It illuminates
And the highest vision
The life force with everything
Illuminating the light of all the nefesh
The pleasure of all the worlds
The craving of every creation
The hope of every action
A nation that all the outcome
All the results of everything
Is in all the nations
The creation from the beginning to the end
Every fall
Every disconnect
Is revealing this essence
The delight of the delights
Within the spirit of every creation
All the pleasure
Of the light of eternity
And the systems
All go in the present
The ruach echad
And within every neshama is always ringing
All centered there
Whether revealed or hidden
Yeshuat olamim
The yeshua of the lifeforce of all the world
And the beauty and appearance of the clarity of light
Within the neshama of all existence
The light is within the darkness
In our experience its totally separate
Sometimes it feels there is no communication
The kol
It all existes
The raa vtov
Even the content of the raa doesn’t reflect its essence
The way klal yisrael reflects its essence
The collective soul of the jewish people
The whole geula
Will elevate the parts
And enter them
Let us no be intellectual
May this be our reality
No matter what part of the jewish people we experience
That we find that space withing
In the KNOWING
IT IS ALL HASHEM
APPRECIATING WHAT ALL HAS TO GIVE
NOT BE scared to enter all Israel
The geula in this learning
Awakens something in us
We can shift the world
Rav Kook - Nov 12
Orot hakodesh
Expression of our Active Ratzon
Gazing in a wonderous way at the RATZON of a human
It’s a rich spiritual light
That embraces many strengths and outcomes
A deeply powerful thing
We don’t experience it with our 5 senses
It’s a light that flies with such wondrous vigor
It takes us to the depth
And to the heights of the heavens
It takes us down and constricts
Until there’s no way to tell how constricting
But when our ratzon expands us
It is limitless
When you see its many different rays and branches
All the Hod and Tiferet and Gevurot, chama yeshut and the atzmut
Everything is embraced within it
This expanse
Of understanding its essence to its core
To the heights of kedusha
We experience it so powerfully
The neshama of hashem
Is pumping into our ratzon
It’s clear
It belongs to a deeper realm
Because it’s so strong
When you feel connected
It’s so strong
My heart is awake
AWAKE THE RATZON
Libi ayr Kudsha brich Hu
THE DEEP RATZON
Is the connection to HKBH within us
We have the powerful ratzon
That takes us to the deepest heights and depts
This ratzon that we experience
In its very nuclear form
The nucleus
Within it is absorbed the constriction
From the highest ratzon
Ohr haolamim
The ratzon is from beyond
When its banded in the constriction
Its source is still planted
Within the highest lights
And when we realize our ratzon
Connect with the ratzon at every given moment
Is tapped into the ratzon of hashem
In the world
The beyondness
We get elevated with it
And we elevate it
We elevate our ratzon
The frustration of I can’t deal with life
Because I want more
ITS OPEN
AND ITS LIKE
I WANT MORE
And the ratzon releases
Then we grasp life
And theories of meditation
And it impacts our middot
Elevating them.
When we experience our constricted form of ratzon
We can take it to its highest form
It’s so deep
To the deepest highs and lows
When we tap into the power
Of the infinite ratzon of the world
Tefilla
I am taking my ratzon
WHY DO I WANT THIS
HASHEM WHAT DO YOU WANT
When we start to dissect this ratzon
Why do I want this healing?
What does hashem want
Tapping into the might
That ratzon has
Not like a feeling like any other emotion
(thinking of Ella’s ratzon “I want my mommy NOW) Constricted face
and whole trembling of body)
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
Replace the word I with we
I’m scared
We are scared
In hitbodedut
Hashem We feel so far
Taking it one step to WE
DH: RATZON
1. Precursor to tefilla
2. And also tefilla
Babies want and cry
So you rock
And baby cries like this and like that
Zahava: so many relationships with hashem
Instead of davening please let this crisis be fixed
Instead of my want
What is your ratzon
Not what I want
_
Step 1 is taking it to Hashems realm
The power of your ratzon
The active ratzon expands
It overcomes your whole being
The thing that expands the ratzon
Is when you intend to fill the ratzon with hashem
It’s not just this desire
It’s like holding a kli
And Hashem is filling it
When I’m in the expansion
And I find
And tap into the depth of it
And the ratzon of the whole world
And hashem
I enter dveikus
When I express my ratzon
You make it clearer
You are expressing the RATZON
OF HASHEM IN THIS WORLD
When hashem blew his soul into us
THE WORDS THAT COME OUT
IN A STATE OF ONENESS
Is hashem talking to us
The ratzon of Hashem
Is able to be expressed in this world
Tefilla is literally active
Hashems ratzon to my ratzon
KEFIRA
SOME people think it can change hashems ratzon to mine
Instead
I take the depth of my ratzon
When I enter dveikus
I GET WHAT HASHEM WANTS
I take the depth of what I want
Take it all the want
What does hashem really want
It transforms the reality of the world
We walk through the day with constant wants
Why do I want connection
It is the experience of hashem
And go more abstract
But its more real
It stops being about me
It’s about connection
We want connection
And You want it too
It’s no longer about me
I want my zivug
To manifest your ratzon in this world
Technique
My ratzon is deeper
RATZONCHA IS RATZONI
Geula
From the state of dveikus
The words
The sound waves never end
They command
You are creating as you speak
Are you creating your nefesh behamis
When I am tapped into dveikus
I am choosing to live in a world
The reason why I want this
Is manifested in a deepest ratzon
I want and want and want
I want the deveikus and its frustration
The want is the depth of the chius of my neshama
IS ALL THAT IM LONGING FOR
Woah I’m experiencing powerful at that moment
This feels alive
Whatever it is
Feels deeply connected
What if it deeply connected
From a deep state
What does the world want and I sense it with my being
My physical want
_
The same state
Of the greatness of the light of love
Ohr habracha elyona
My thirst for hashem
How can I live my day more
What would my thoughts be like when I’m in touch
What’s more in touch with my deeper ratzon
You can use this core ratzon
To make decision
How you want to engage in this world
Orot
It’s impossible to find a state
Where you soul can rest on
Other than the Gdly air
Bohr haElokut
And all our inner movements tnuoo-ot
All of our inner emotions
Are all trying to take us to Elokut more
When they become more Gdly
Their relationship
What is the common denominator between fear and joy
Our dimyon, the tree
THEY EXIST
HAVAYA
THEY ALL ARE IN THE MOST INFINITE WAY OF BEING
When I connect to the is-ness
My thoughts and chair are Gdly
Inner and outer movements
Connecting to that
Gives me Yishuv haDaas
If a person seeks
Even A LITTLE LESS THAN THIS GREATNESS
Immediate you are distraught
Like a ship in stormy waves
Crashing into each other
Gal mgal constantly trying to get you down
Once wave after another
And you are not going to know what’s yours
Sometimes the fog of our inner world
Manages to get us down
But not bogged down for too long
Your inner knowing of something more
Will extricate itself from its prison
And the crazy slinging movement inside of you
Will begin its power
The only place we can really rest is with hashem
Isn’t Hashem beyond this reality
Anything inside of our emotions
These Godly feelings don’t fit into our physical moments
Life comes up
I get stuck in the stormy sea
Anything above the feeling within us
In relation to us
Is nothingness
If you don’t have anything to grasp
HOW CAN WE REST OUR INNER BEING?
You will find many people
Mvakshei hashem
They are tired
The 2 worlds don’t come together
When the neshama is craving
For a light that’s brighter
It’s not going to make do
With the light found in righteousness
Good actions
Light found within the truth
Clear higher torah
Your desire for Hashem is higher than all of these things
The whole world comes into this inyan
This way of seeing
The whole world
Your desire is strong and expansive within you
In all the gashmiut and ruchniut
Revelations
To you it’s just one big house is stifling
Because you ratzon is beyond all of it
Even learning torah, and mitzvot
Don’t fill us
They want something greater and higher than their ability
Something in relationship to them is nothing
There is nothing within
Even the ability TO WANT THE WANT
To want the depths of your inner ratzon
Sometimes our constant search gets weakened
It weakens the strength and life force
What do we do?
Enter the gate
The Elokus
The Gdliness revealed in the world
In all its beauty and splendor
In every insect, flower, nation, kingdom
In the canopies of the skies
The luminaries
The strengths and talent within every conversation
The writings of every author
The music of composer
The thoughts of every thinker
The strengths of every hero
It seems to be beyond us
To be gathered in its light
And we are not close to feeling our craving
It falls into our essence
This desire for Elokus
Comes into us in a powerful way
We start to find it and enjoy it
In the love of the world
In its peace and its rest
Sometimes you have a moment
And you feel hashem in the deepest way that is beyond you
A temporary state
The lightning will exchange
We will again fall back to living in the
Courtyards of Hashem
And when the demands for this light
Come to its highest
Its starts to draw from the shefa
Of the Ohr Haganuz
From the insides of the world
From the inner light
Start to see all the world
That which you seek
The netzitzot within every idea
Within our lives
The shefa is flowing within all the goodness
It elevates the source of our neshama to its heights
That makes the spiritual and physical world
Smaller it its eyes
All its harmony and beauty within the physical
START TO SING THE SONG
The beauty of it
Not just an external manifestation
Reveals in it all the world
All the creations
We see the world differently
Because we see the Elokut
All the learning expanding consciousness
All the constrictions
No longer push against the expansiveness of the neshama
It starts to see the sparks of Elokut
Our reactions and emotions
Elevate
And all get bound up
In the binding of full life
__
I feel my ratzon constricting me
The Gdliness I seek
Is way beyond my level
My middos aren’t there yet
But I have this deep yearning
But my middos are not there yet
On the way to the ultimate Elokus
Bound in hashem
We find Hashem in the poetry and conversations
The reason why everything seems so deep
It is so deep
I TAP INTO THE CHIUS WHICH MAKES MY RATZON SO STRONG
I TAP INTO THE VITALITY OF EVERYTHING
You feel a little of ratzon
When I tap into that, I can see the thing that I want in a new light
A greater more infinite vision what the world needs
Ie. Technology
When that many people put there daas and chius into one thing for that amount of time
As more of the world puts their daas on it
The world reveals Elokus
The animals in the time of noach picked up on this frequency
When we open up this consciousness
Geula
The seasons will shift the physicality will shift
When it will be enlivened
Pesach illuminate like the light of day
Different seasons that emerged after the flood
Before the flood there was only spring time
In geula there will be only spring: Sforno
Umale Haaretz deah of Hashem
The world itself will be reflecting and resonating the light of Hashem
Feld’s class on mincha
Today’s parsha. Yitzchak
Hashem appreciates mincha the most
You have to stop your day
Tefilla
May the desire for the whole world seeking
In the constriction and expansion
May we feel expanded in our ratzon
May we see a world of Elokut
And the whole world has the depth
Tapping into the ratzon
DH: a state of thirst
The whole idea is I am going to be in thirst that keeps me moving
Thirst can’t be judged
Judgement comes where I think I am satisfied
We will think thirst is a limitation
Elokus
If you are just worried about the thing that is beyond
But tap into the pathway
The derech to eretz yisrael is tapping into creation
The world think we are all thirsty
Healing is not taking away the ratzon
Its searching for it deeper and deeper
We want ratzon
How do we know it smells like gan eden
The thirst
Something in us knows what thirst is
And what drinking
Rav Kook 11-19
Orot Eretz Chofetz
[Segol: the inner point: 17 min rav menussi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXCQJWyko-c]
Ort:You can hide it
But impossible to uproot it from its source
Am kadosh: holy nature
Keeping the mitzvot that bind us to Hashem
And it comes to revelation through our physical actions
We are expressing the segula
There are neshamot
So low in the area of their choice
What makes a jew do mitzvot
Therefore they are involved in broken off negative actions
Destructive opinion, hashem yishmareinu
Nevertheless the light of this spiritual quality is illuminated within them
He experienced a generation that was building EY
What makes them involved in such a thing.
Tikkunei Zohar tov mlifnim vra mmchutz
Deep holiness
On an external level it is not expressed
Something with such a deep power and not expressed
Its hard in eretz hakodesh
Hanna Roen: trauma to embrace a block. And starts davening etc
Any Jewish soul naturally embraces Judaism unless there are old traumas
If they are healed they draw back to Judaism
The idea of segula of eretz yisrael
Is beyond practical ideas of the jewish people
Therefore it becomes more important
To connect to EY
To the segula that is within us
That is expressed through the Torah of EY
My neshama gets a dive into itself
OROT ERETZ HEIFETZ
Eretz Yisrael is not an external reality or acquisition for the nation
Its not the just to strengthen the physical or spiritual existence of the Jewish people.
8:47
EY is the most essential division that is bonded with life itself with a nation
It embraces within it all the spiritual qualities in its very being.
Goal to bring together all entirety. NO! this is way deeper then you can ever understand.
Here it is a Gdly knot from the source of kedusha
The all encompassing souls of the jewish people of the land of its pleasure
This holy seal
Prominent through the illumination of the highest Gdliness
We were just sojourning there.
From the depth beyond our being
When we are sleeping we are not in daas
The ohr haganuz is deeper
The 36 lights of kislev
Kol haTorah kula of EY
His chiddush
I get caught : just go to the kotel
Sometimes I feel it sometimes I don’t
What!?
Even your feeling of disconnection
Is the deepest reality
Its impossible to start
To begin to understand its ineffable quality
And bring out the action with our love for it with any kind of human understanding or rationalization
But only through the spirit of Hashem.
From the sense we have within us
Any depth we can ever access
So whats stopping people from seeing this?
GALUT
SEEING THING THROUGH NOT HAVING DAAS
IF YOU HAVE DAAS YOU YOUR IN GEULA: Rabbi Nachman
The recognition of EY comes in a blurred form
From the secret of the experience of Hashem
The deepest highest spiritual qualities of the depths of Gdliness
Turn into devarim tefalim
Delinieated in the sod hashem
EY
Of course you are going to like the spiritual quality you need with the challenges that brings
This is the basis of the understanding of the shitta of EY
You are seeing it on a surface level
Its so in our essence of being of who we are in our deepest essence
If you are not on that level of Torah
How can you think of APPROACHING EY
It’s a game changer when accessing geula
The world wasn’t ready yet
We are moving toward it
Rav Moshe Weinberger said, the world needs it NOW.
When we are learning torah on a surface level
Promise land of Canaan.
Oh that’s just the psukim I saw about the canaanim
We need the sod hashem
When the torah is promising eretz chlav udvash…
If you’re not in daas
Then extra food and shefa will not only take you to an elevated place
Will take you to a place of laziness to a bad place
Negative culture
If we are on an elevated place of daas
Romamut hanefesh
To the purpose of the heights of the soul
That elevates a nature above
What was hashem telling the avot
I am promising you this is a blessing
The promise of it being a land flowing with milk and honey
Every physical pleasure is kedusha
Rambam taking food and elevating it
Why is it called Eretz Canaan?
The most cursed the source of animal lowliness nature
Eretz yisrael. Yisod mitgaleh haalom
That part of the spiritual quality of EY you are able to take that was the most gross, blocked and stuck to elevated it to the hightest heights.
Why is this the case?
What are all the most disconnected parts of life
That’s where the highest lights are hidden
It becomes negative because we don’t have the light to access it
In EY we are able to access the light there.
An avodah for us in and out of EY
To dream of what EY is.
Here in EY. No matter what background they are in
There neshama brought them to EY. We need to search for the spark again
Remember where we are and who we are
The neshama of Knesset yisrael when we get to the achdut of EY
If we understand what Jewish meant!

Rav Kook
TheDrunkenness of externality
The thoughts that come from the externality of the world
It’s easy to say I’m a pnimius person
A lot of our day we are judging based on externals
What it looks like and feels light
These thoughts take a person to a mistaken consciousness
Even the more elevated ones
There’s a taut a mistake
We are drunk on the externality of the world
And most of the world is handed over to this drunkenness
Only the refugees
Who manage to escape
The wise ones
This part of us
The elevated holy ones
That they investigated and infiltrate
The power of their thoughts
To the inner being
They dissipate this drunkenness
With this elevated skill
And the more they really get
Chut hamamsicha
The seal of the ruchani haelyon
The more they print the seal in the world it
Goes forth and illuminates the inner light
And instead of drunkenness
Appears the light of the joys of delight of holiness
--
seeing things from an external perspective
Not involving yourself
Deeper
The external IS THE internal
The drunkenness is the perception of us seeing only the external
Subtlety is that
Ie eretz yisrael
Does it matter if its nature or not
You are told you are your soul not your body
And yet we know as we enter geula
The body is elevated
The problem is when we separate physicality and ruchnious
It’s a continuum
It’s not separate
The world I know and then my soul
When we separate them
The physical feels super mundane
SEE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT OF KEDUSHA
ASPAKLARIA VISUAL
Aspaklaria:
Neviim because they clarified themselves
Moshe rabein there was no self
Through the looking glass of kedusha
Start seeing the mundane the external
Through the looking glass
Through the perception of kedusha
In truth there is no such thing as absolute mundane
Once you go to the essence you have touched its soul
And then you start to see
When you are measuring kodesh lechol
There’s kedusha
There’s chol
The higher holy light from the infinite source
You experience the divine light
Not a random concept in my brain
You are tapped into the essence of what that means
When you see the world
As something no essentially mundane
And all the values come together
And the universal unity
Comes clear
Your actions become more mighty and spiritual
With the foundation of a higher life
When you are building something kodesh
It has to be built on the foundation of the physical / mundane
Chol is just the physical structure
The physical mass of kodesh
And kodesh is what defines the inner dimension of the physicality
And in anything that the physicality is more powerful
Powerful part of life
Spirituality has to be so much higher
The chiut within it is ever more powerful
Chomer v tzura model
Energy and matter are created
__
Lg: there’s not hevdel between the CHOMER AND THE TZURA
Through the lens
How deep we can tap into it.
Why do we ben hamavdil ben koshesh lechol
Period between yom kippur and sukkot
For a moment there is no difference
4 days in between
The hevdail is the capacity to tap into that level
Shabbat: the whole energy is the core
The mitzva of zechira Shabbos is for every day
There’s a consciousness of shabbat all week
In order to tap into the kedusha
We need to be honest with ourselves
There’s an essence of shabbat during the week
THERE’S A BEING WITHIN THE DOING
If you can go into the most mundane
And tap into it
Shaar hashamayim
The ladder that goes up
The gate to the spiritual realm that is in this world
Rabbi Nachman
THE LITTLE THAT HOLDS A LOT
Everyone trying to prove
I have one seed, I have one piece of land, I have one little mind
No that’s like a rubbish heap lol
The final one the beggar
He lives on just the edge where physicality meets spirituality
Asking ourselves as what I see in my life that is not Gdly
How do I tap into it
We need the hamavdil ben kodesh lechol
Rw.
learning the 39 melachos on an elemental level
Is tapping into the kedusha of the physical
Meruka
The world is not separated
We are not building a new structure
The vision to be able to tap into
This is so needed now with corona
Rabbi David arons describing the definition of holy is more than holy
If you designate something to be holy
You designate it as part of Hashems achdut
The orot shel moshiach
When I see anything in the world
I am designated it to its divine course
It transforms all that is
We are being demanded from the depths of our souls to feel this greatness
Even in the minute rays of lights
Because these lights that are still very faint
Are constantly becoming smaller
Even before the big saturation of the highest lights
Tapping into the deeper consciousness
Our neshamas are demanding we find those
If we only hold on to the measurement
Of galut
Will remain in this designated state
It is incumbent of us to do
To grasp the big light
From the light of geula
Even from the beginning of its nuclear appearance
The sense that we have that we just want to tap into something more expansive
Be willing to grasp the desire
What is this light?
Clarified out within the physicality
The nefesh betoch basar
The elevation of the values of all of life
The light of the holy of holies
The designation of all the designations
Within all of the movements of the IS
In everything that IS THERE IS A MOMENT
--
You are yearning for the big light
You have to enter the gate
The skill that is required for every conversation
The thoughts of every composer
Ie the floor of my house
Or this is the ground that holds me up
It’s quite a trip
Definitely in these times
We get caught up in the constriction
If we are willing
There’s an opening
I’m feeing this weird feeling
And I can tell you
WOW THERE’S A DYNAMISM IN MY SYSTEM
AND SEEING THAT AS PART OF A BIGGER PICTURE
WOW THE diversity of the day
The power I put into my day is G-dly
Sometimes we need reminders
For me its 3 words of rav kook!!
That’s this state that we are trying to enter
We are bearing witness to that movement
But it’s at the risk of appearing weird
That space feels unhinged (devoid of being grounded)
A trip! Be in this world / drunken
There’s a sense.. when I’m grounding something; I’m tending to make it not spiritual
Let me sit down here
There reason we have to bring it down
I’m HERE IS THE MOST HOLY THING IN THE WORLD
WHEN I SEE THE ELOKUT IN MY FLOOR
When I see that within the physical
I see the inner Gdliness
Hamtaka
The space of geula: be with all of the energy
It will be so integrated that there will be no difference
Rw: the question how do we be in this world
I’m at a meal with my kids
And I’m not thinking the thoughts
As I’m eating my food I am just enjoying my kids
Just appreciating theirs smile
You are embodying the light in the moment
Geula that is not
Because its 2 separate things
Conversation not taking about spiritual things
Cleaning the house
Moments where we sense it
The inner geula
I don’t need to be thinking the thoughts of the ground
To know so deeply
I’m scared of the physicality because it’s so mundane
For years we’ve been engaged in the physical
We were washing and taking care of the kids
We start to feel the song and poetry as we are doing it
We go and come out
Orit: a place we are deeply understanding
This social anxiety doesn’t exist anymore
Everything becomes me before Gd
There are infinite gradations
There’s a benchmark for redemption
We can all reach
To engage with each other
We will so well be integrated
Enjoying hkbh within our relationships
Me: social anxiety at the gathering
The closer I get to the integration
Where is the anxiety
It’s a whole different world
Its EMUNAH I’ve been in a state of katnut
DH: Rabbi Nachman piece
6:3
Running and returning is essential
Getting GOOD AT FALLING
It talks about getting better at it.
This is the parsha
The angels going up and down
Malachim up the ladder to the highest place in our soul
--
It comes from our soul contains the deepest lights
The flames of harmony contained within our soul
To move us forward
Toward a state
Towards integration
The inner dimension
Emunat hanistar
Fall back the nun into Cheshvan
Samech of kislev
Falling back into hashem
Enter the space
Social anxiety
I’m with hashem
Seeing through the lens of hashkacha
Sometimes you feel your daat is poor
And you can’t connect to spirituality
Connected to the spiritual resources
Nevertheless you should imburse yourself
From the sense of the higher waters
Even reading rav kook
The higher deeper Torah
Then your spirit returns to you
You turn into a flourishing wellspring
(from a stopped wellspring)
When we are stuck into the drunkenness of the external
Find a deep Torah
The secrets of Torah
Kabbalah needs to be an integrated part
Not separated out
You need all of it together
The goal
The revelations of the secrets of torah
The content of kedusha is hidden within them
They cause the ruach of hadam
To be minimize and reduces his ambitions
And you become impoverished
Just dealing with the mundane stuff
We are experiencing the spirituality being remove
The tiredness
The secrets of torah
Elevate your spirit
And you start having THIS EXPANSIVE VISION
AND DREAM EXPANSIVE DREAMS
AND WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR
Becomes elevated
On a collective level
And you open up chassidus
And your soul is revived
Imagine that happening as a nation
This is what all of the razei torah are
Kabbala was never about understanding interconnections with your mind
With a rational human intellect
Rather you go through kabbala
Receiving
Receiving from someone who it feels so good to receive from
Feels cozy
THAT’S WHAT EMUNAH FEELS LIKE
WHEN you go into that space
And delve into it
The light of hashem
Is infiltrating into their souls you start to experience this opening into a deeper space
Kabbala
The world being awakened
Just like you can’t distinguish between the raw material and the glass
They are not the same thing
They are literally integrated
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE A STATE THAT THE KODESH
ANTAGONIZES WITH THE CHOL
I.e. Eretz yisrael
The rabbis say “ this is not kedusha”
It impoverishes those who are building
What is drawn from that
That the physical and the people engaged with the physical
Its subtlety
And the lights of OBLIGATION
START KNOCKING
Those people feel pushed
And they push back
And the physicality trying to pull
And the spirituality loses its vitality
The reaction is chutzpa
When there’s a battle
Well I’m just mundane
So the kodesh people just don’t engage
You need all the people together
Inasmuch as the mundane strengthen itself
Finding something deeper
Prepares itself
From its very mundane characteristic
It starts to open up this new opening
In the end of the day hkodesh et chovain
the kodesh will demand
And will come knocking on the door
I NEED SOMETHING
Not surprising so much of Israelis go to India
How can you be building the land
And not involved in spirituality
Through the holy power of kedusha
Will be so strengthened and elevated
Develop our ability to tap into Elokut
Will be so strong
That the mundane reality will submerge under it
Will enter its insides
And will be swallowed up of mundaneness
And that which is left in tzion
WITH BE KADOSH
--
The mundane becomes so mundane
And you end up with the inner place and mundane-ness
After a certain amount of years of mundane Israel
It gets to a place
Where the ruach of the nature
I need something more
WE NEED TO SUBMERGE IN THE KEDUSHA
SEE EVERYONE NEKUDOT TOVOT
Even in people, the beauty, their desire for truth
And not seeing hashem for a harsh Gd
When we tap into it
And then the people involve in chushmiut
Start to connect
Body image
If the body is higher than the soul
Oh not my body!
If we are seeing our bodies like that
When we are talking tzniut
Ideologically is showing what important
If we are thinking “my body is NOT SOMETHING IS SOMEthing I don’t want to focus on
The TZURA ELEVATES MORE
If we see our bodies under its parochet
Like a sefer torah
MY BODY IS A VESSEL IN THE SOUL
ITS BEAUTIFUL
IT’S A SEFER TORAH FOR MY SOUL
The claf of a sefer torah is always covered
It’s so holy
Then you see it and its woah!
If you see it all the time you are being mezaltzel
The body is vibrating with the soul
When a secular person is being natural with their body
They are covering up but not just covering up their insecurities
They resonate
Greeks chomer is separated
Chanuka is the longest night
I can say in the darkest night of my life that there too is is Hashem
In the most physical act
I can look my torah
I can see the lights of ohr haganuz
If I can see the beauty in my body
The Havaya in my life
Yesh borai OLAM REALITY
YAVAN YOUR RIGHT ITS BEAUTIFUL
YOU ARE RIGHT
ITS BEAUTIFUL because its Godly
It tells you much more of the system of creation
There is order in the chaos
Once a day
What is the spiritual nature of it
And doing the inspiration
Visualizing the integration
Lg: people can sit in their chomer and be fine
I’m not a spiritual person 9:29
I’m good where I am
Let’s have pizza and ice cream
By leading into our own
CHOMER /TZURA
The ultimate transformation
At the moment there’s a disassociation
There’s the spiritual people
And those into their house and cars
Me looking after my kids.
I found the integration
When I see them interacting with their job
They are just not spiritual
Oh but job is spiritual
I just want to talk about spiritual stuff
If I can see the physical parts of my life
When I see them talking about their things
I can feel the BEAUTY IN THEIR LIFE
I am not DEMANDING THEY BECOME SPIRITUAL
NO WE ARE TALKING THE SAME LANGUAGE
Not just spiritual people and not
For people who are spiritual
It’s scary for us to face the mundane parts of life
Nir menussi: The body being higher that the soul
Vayetzei
Chaya Sara: the body being higher than the soul
Ohhhh. What if it’s not about dissociating from our body
But finding that they too are holy
When we are with others that don’t see it from that perspective
Partly because we connect with their mundane
When they talk about their job
They see beauty in their job
Wow they love this thing that I know is spiritual and physical
Such a shift!!!!!!!!
Tefillah:
Hashem give us guidance
To not be afraid of the mundane
Find the integrations
May it happen on a national level so fast
We all start hearing each other
Hearing the song of the universe.
Rav Kook 12-3
How big are we willing to experience
Part of living in galut
Theres a ideal of thinking of the mundane is normal
Geula the mundane things are the most spiritual reality
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO DREAM FOR A BIGGER PICTURE OF THE WORLD
How does Rav Kook know me?
If you’re tapped into the whole pic, then we meet rav kook
He was at the point where everyones depth reached each other
In a place where all is inter included
WHAT IS THE CONTENT OF THE HISTALKUT HARUCHANIT
What’s the deeper perspective of ruchaniut, this understanding and scanning
Of LITERALLY EVERYTHING together
The place where everything is included
This is the unique nature of the spiritual vision of the world
Where intellectual and spiritual shift
Intellectual perspective is constantly engaged with specific details
Its with difficulty that you manage to bring together to a one unified whole
The people who are designated for seeing things in a ruchnius
They are connected
It is with big and deep pain
That they feel constricted
Whether it is because of habit
Or people around us
We are forced to engage with business
Whether spiritual or actual
When we are focused to look at one part
Its painful
Want to tap into the inner aspect
WHEN YOU GET INTO YISHUV HADAAS
THEN THEY REALIZE actually the necessity to use each detail instrument to get to the bigger perspective
And in their nefesh heart of hearts
Bound to this place
Using these instruments to reveal the light of the purpose
Its saying what does it mean to be a deep soul
To see the world from a inner perspective
If im a neshama that goes into the inner perspective of the world
Instead of getting stuck in detail
I see in that place its ALL ONE
CERTAIN MOMENT IN A DVEIKUT MOMENT
OHHH
THERES nothing left out
The inner gaula
I can look at my life through the details
This situation
Spiritual work forcus on the details
The goal is to get to that place
To the inner simplicity
The inner wholeness
I AM
I EXIST
THERES room for all the details in a deeper and rich way
Then OH THAT’S PART OF THE WHOLE
Torah also
Get involved in theis piece of the Torah details
But the point is, there has to be the place where its connected to a deeper place to Hashem
No matter with path in Judaism, its not about one detail
If you go in one detail in depth and you will find the whole Torah
Brisk approach and rav Kotler:
Reb Shlomo
Rav Kotler: seem further part seems so connected
Brisk: so deep within one piece
EITHER WAY I AM CONNECTED TO THE WHOLENESS
So easy to get caught up in the details
Enter calm
Enter simplicity
No details left out from the bigger picture.
__
DH: I learn torah and then I hear it right after that:
Your neshama found the CHIDDUSH TORAH
YOUR UNIQUE TORAH that inspires you on a soul level
You will be able to see that point no matter what Torah it is
HR: spontaneous: I focused on the leaves, it looked so gorgeous. Thank you for that spark. That gift.
Washing dishes: washing a dishes. Focused watching the water, shapes, the beauty and light anywhere.
100% focus of what we are looking at without another thought.
MEYASHEV HADAAT mind is tapped into one thought. It becomes no longer detail
It becomes holographic
Theres a possibility that you get so drowned into the overall picture, that you end up darkening the specificity of each detail itself.
Oh its all one, there will be a frustration not to engage in the detail and yet, each detail contains the bigger picture
If you tap into that detail, instead of blocking it out. You can tap into it with a much more and vital vision
Gedola elyona A HIGHER BIGNESS. The detail in your life – not like a dish you can wash and feel the beauty
The deepest heights infiltrates every place. Theres nothing too mundane
When you connect to each detail and you start to shine the light into each detail
Start off with the pratim
Sometimes you see the leaf and wow
Sometimes its tapping into the detail
The experience of stress: the beauty of what that feeling is
WHAT HOW DOES MY BODY KNOW what my feeling is
FIRST ENRICHEN THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DETAILS FIRST
Then that will open up our capacity our soul to this freedom space
To look at the bigger picture
The pleasure of our soul
That is yearning and drawing
For the expansion of the river of bina
From the bigger perspective
Only after we come to this madrega of acquiring the details
When we are able t0 experience the difference in a beautiful way
Your spirit will access these values that are way more elevated then all the detail
Beauty of working through each layer
The place where we are going together
To METAKEN ET HAKOL
You need to go through every part of your life and find the beauty there
And work through the issue
It expands your capacity to see the bigger picture.
Sometimes we get so stuck in the details we forget we want the bigger pictue
The shoresh of the ruchani stronger source of spirituality
That’s filled with the freshness of life
Spreads out branches
The crazy amount of details in our life
Rubui anafim
And sometimes we are so tired from holding space for all of that
Then what you need to do IS GRASP THE SOURCE WITHIN YOU
I AM
KOCHA MITCHADESH
Then your strength is renewed
Panim chadashim at Sheva brachos
Theres a love and newness
Then the branches start to flower
When you are stuck to all the detail no capacity to bring them to the world
This is the foundation
The connecting point
All the highest secrets takes the foundation of all the existences of Havaya vrava
This opinion against that opinion and it strengthens it in the foundation
And it brings out the ideal way
Of a tradition and a way of living that reflects Hashem
This is our vision of geula
And how to tap into this in our life
When we are stuck
Either tap into the beauty of the detail
Or
About finding the shoresh makor, quieting the mind
Then you are in your strength and then its new now
This is the image of the geula world
Not midda, situation that is left out
Not anymore that im scared of the details
Every detail is part of the picture
Where is the space that’s deep enough to hold the things that are coming together
TAPPING IN AND FEELING THAT PLACE
YOU ARE LITTERALY LOVING THEM WITH A PANIM CHADASHA
This is core to everything rav Kook does
Looking at people who are different
Nothing in front of his eyes that he would say that’s not good
Sechel me kol dvar
Was not just a concept, was his soul!!!
The ideal spirituality is not engaged with the reality of separation. It only recognizes and gives importance to the all emcompassing unity.
Theres no detail without looking at it as a bigger picture. In such a world you can only see things in their essence. There is no such thing as absolute bad. What is raa? Theres no klal bmitzut raa: raa IS A PIECE THAT APPEARS NOT PART OF THE KLAl
A negative thought reflects its not part of the bigger picture
When you see it as part of the bigger picture
You’ve included it in part of the bigger picture
CHEIT separateness from yourself, from Hashem
All the sins is taking us away from this perspective
Hashem saw all he made and it was VERY GOOD.
TO INCLUDE GENENNOM
Tov meod beyond good
Everything there!!
Yaakov TAAM
EASY TO FALL INTO im spiritual and im in my bubble
And im marrying Rochel my type of soul
Leah I cant deal of her
I don’t need esav
Only when he finally faces esav alone with the saar shel esav
The biggest separatness
He was able to becaome Yisrael
That he loved leah
AM YISRAEL IS ABOUT GETTING TO THE WHOLE
BUT IN ORDER TO GET THERE we need YAAKOV ISH TAM
The inner simplicity
In one moment of simplicity
It just is.
If im getting caught up in thoughts in life
Chacham and tam
Look at this shoe its amazing
My house is my palace
Sometimes we need that simplicity
Helps us tap into the core
Its only closing your eyes
Experience in a visible way
Throught the presentation of the secret, impact of your life
The most highest and deepest of clarity of understandings is the simplest of the simple
Answers of the world
Through Havaya
I am
Tap in
Bring into daas
The place of contrast
Panim chadashot
Tap into the simplicity
The hardest thing the pnimiut hazot the
INSIDE OF THE INSIDE
Includes exceeding amounts
All the worlds before you
Tapped into the inner space
All the worlds right there
The 1000s of things we do everyday
FIND THE PSHITUS
TAP INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE
YOU ARE listenen from the lower worlds
You hear the higher worlds
As long as you are listening
You become sharper
As long as your channels are opening more
This is the deepest joy
The joy of the SIMPLICITY OF TAM
GIVES US SHLEIMUS, GENTLENESS
Sometimes when you are in all the details
I can tap into simplicity
Rabbi Nachman: davening naase vnishma
Into a space theres on next secont
When you tap into the NOW
THEN all the details come out in a whole beautiful way
The inner simplicity inner quiet
Is way higher than mussar
The tradition of ethics from the torah
All the musar of how to conduct ourselves
Are rooted from the streams pouring out from the TAM
SIMPLICTY
AD ATA , till now
I just exist now
Then from that space that’s where all the ethics
Bad: that’s taking us from the space
Yachranut: straightness
It becomes much more simple
This is the nachlaa of Yaakov
The simplicity of sitting in my tent right now
Today
Everyone’s battling about their opinions all the time
What about
I DON’T KNOW
I AM
JUST BEING SIMPLE
If you were to bring up all the controversial questions
He would say lets dance
Are you serving Hashem, me too!!!
If we stop resources in the source of our source
That we forget the source
Geula will be all the soucee of the spiritual ecosystems
I can tap int it all
Tap into Rav kook because he reminds you of geula
If we find our internal geula
From that space
All the details in my life and world
Connected to building to that space of Hashem echad
All of this illuminates, stands up in this higher state withing the essence of existence of joy
When theres a sense of something deeper (nature) real joy.
And to the extent of these rays of spirituality are deep and true and beautiful and strong
The extent that these rays infiltrate in us
The simcha that never stops
A SOFT JOY THERE IN OUR NESHAMA
The ray comes from the source of atzilut
What you tap into a torah, reality of hashem, meditation , that tefilla, than not only are you experience ruchniut
You are experiencing the pleasure of Hashem.
Mahavata hasbaa shel torah. Rich and beautiful. Infinite joy
Chay bchayim filled with eternity
You start to sense and recognize
Oh the simplicity is there too
THE JOY OF A QUIET MIND
Imagine a world living like this
Every reality theres a detail that theres a joy coming in from the ruchaniut
Even if you soul is wounded with physical and spiritual pains
It doesn’t stop giving you inner pleasure to the soul
Even in the middle of the darkness
Even if your body feels shattered
And you feel the oneg moment
And you know where that pleasure is drawn out from
YOUR torah, intentions
And just like it exist in every individual it exists in am Yisrael
Constantly weaning from the sweetness of the internal holiness
That SWEETENS LIFE JUST A BIT
Brings down an inner reality that is fixed
Then the pains of the jewish collective soul gets fixed
The sparks of light get sent signals to every individual to what they can take
That wont destroy their system
To the extend that the binding of your essence is connect to the klal
The HIGHER KEDUSHA
TAP INTO THE INNER POINT
Every detail and argument … each side is beautiful
There cant be a Yaakov without an esav
When we feel judgement
That’s a consequence
That in that moment
Hashem is a source of everything
You’ve pushed away the light that is holiness
Who can stop the Gdly high love of the survivors / CHASIDEI KODESH
THESE holy chasidim the straightness of their heart like the spirit of purity of the pleasure of gan eden
And with this powerful love that cant be stopped
Like the waves of the sea
The neshama is storming with the magnitude of the noam ELYON
AND THE DISIRE OF THIS PLEASURE of pleasure
Expands the world content
And our souls middot
And in that moment
As we are feeling the love of Hashem
I am in the gate to open up for all neshamas to be kodesh
Any one who has contact of strong ones of Hashem
Us
They are elevated
To believe we have the capacity
Your whole body crashed
But you are getting oneg from the moment
Then kol ha torah mussar mitzvos actions learing
It comes and clarifies and clears all the stumbling blocks
Then the love of the infinity of all the worlda
Expand over all the experiences of the life of all the world
All the paths and branches
Individual and klal
Until the judgement is no longer a judgement
Pain agony and sighing
Ther rul is Tzadik and straightness of the nations bulmim yashaim
--
Tam and met same letters
Sfat emet: wings like the techelet. He took his wings to fly
You can see it as a branch or see it as a way to hashem
Question:
Hashem echad
Reb shlomo:
Esav kissed yakov. In that moment wasn’t esav sone yakov
Hashem echad
The secular guy
He didn’t spend his day working out on the beach. There has be someone preparing every detail the biggest mistake we make as people
Anav haPesula
Non kosher
To say Im just like everyone else
We rid outself of our
Often our crashes are deeper
Its not we get in a higher place
Rav moshe Weinberger
There’s many people
Happy follow hashems middos
You are not saying that
YOU WANT DVEIKUS
IF you compare yourself to other people
¾ people say how can you teach rav kook
Have you seen his Hebrew
Rav hahalut piezsensnas brother
Geula and desire for everyone
The average sould
Every detail is connected to the whole
Who woke we up
Whose consioucness opened up another soul
More people are connecting to chassidus
Connecting to torah and gemorah in this way
When we start to see this
Whats ticking
Hashem gives us the capacity
To tap into the bigger picure
Even in the katnus
Just one jug just burning
Find the ability
Souls connected to this oneg
To fnd the way to share
It doesn’t need to be treacherous
That the world can see and hear
Rav Kook ARETZ HAKODESH
12-10-20 / 24 Kislev Erev Chanukah
Chanukah Meditation: The light IS in the darkness
We tend to think that the darkness helps me access the light
No... we must enter INTO
the darkness because that whole dark is light!
Give yourself permission
to explore it more freely
As we enter Chanuka...
May the sparks of geula light
Enter us
Transforming the darkness
into light
...and as we receive these sparks
Allow our neshama do its thing
And not be worried about
what it is
and what it isn’t
Whatever downloads Hashem
is choosing for me
in this moment
to freely receive them
and explore them
to not be afraid
of the creativity
in the moment.
I Embrace it.
__________
The subtle awareness…
When we are able to meet that with a greater sense of openness
Something happens
On the one hand the way to connect to it in a pure way
You connect to Torah and Mitzvos and Your family in a whole way
Though we don’t need to be bound by the ropes of social norms
When people are just talking about gashmius
And I want something deeper
A deeper world
In order to get there
We don’t need to be concerned what it looks like from a social perspective
Because your neshama is totally free
To explore different realities
What the pasuk means in a more free way
THAT SPIRIT OF OPENNESS can get strangled by the ropes of society
That make what is the deepest holiness profane
Ie kriat Torah in shul
Diminished down to that’s the time we don’t talk in shul
It can strangle the freedom where I neshama wants to go
Because our neshama comes from the world of freedom
Freedom from AMBITION
A freedom to have a RATZON
Of moshiach
To see and connect to the words of the prophets
I trust my sense
And be willing to explore that
For this creativity
Rabbi Nachman talks about HOLY IMAGINATION
Theres a side of koach dimyon
To make my pain to feel like the whole world
Like a DISEASE TO MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD FREAK OUT
Nothing like feeling that sensation
Drawing on it
And say I FEEL DEEPER
If I can use poetry, how can I describe this
With the freedom of neshama and let it explore
THIS IS THE BEGINNINGS OF YETZIRA
To the extent of the chofesh freedom
So too will this deep experience of KEDUSHA MEANS
I know chanukah is holy
But I don’t feel it
Allow ourselves the FREEDOM OF ALLOWING OUR SOUL TO EXPLORE
YOUR experience of life will be elevated
The KNOCK OF THE SOUL
I AM SENSING a desire for something
Or
Create inside yourself
With TRUTH AND SIMPLICITY
WHAT IS MY NESHAMA TELLING ME?
You take your capacity for ruchnius
From potential to active
Without falsehood
With simplicity
WHAT IS MY INNER WORLD SAYING
HITBONENUT
WHAT IS MY SOUL TELLING ME.
FROM THESE sparks
The finest light will illuminate the world
And from these pieces of inner truth
That the greatness of truth will appear.
This is a major avoda
ITS NOT JUST A CUTE THING TO DO ON THE SIDE
What is going on
Be willing for a visualization
Not a side avoda
Not just a thing I do AND NOT TALK ABOUT
A DEEP AVODA
Because our neshama is from Hashem
And what it is telling us its from Hashem
Inner Creativity
Our ruach , part of our neshama
Start to create these inner images
Creations
We see the angel
Sitting on the rocks
Creating a creation
Its flying and starts to come close to us
And reveals itself in our neshamas
Behold he comes and we greet him with
The magnitude of shalom and love
And it recognizes our love
In a pure and gentle form
And stronger than what we usually recognize
When we are stuck in our physical reality
We go into this space
What is Hashem telling me
And there’s a malach
Carving on a rock
Instead of seeing my heart as a diamond
You visualize your inner world
And you finish the Yetzira
And sometimes it stops in the middle
And you blink and its gone
The angel flies away
And it elevates
And goes to the the heights
And then we engage with Torah
And middot tovot
And then we tie the image
The experience that you get when you visualize something and that sense that you had
When you visualize
Its more
Its real
And you bring it into your avoda
Strengthen your strength
With Hashem giving us this light
And yeshua
And we feel this in our inner world
Exchanging matzavim
Inner strength and weakness MEET EACH OTHER
There’s a sense of love AND ANXIETY MIXING
AND EXISTING TOGETHER
There’s light and darkness in a mixture
This comes
Because
We are not there yet
Then we need to ENTER A STATE OF TSHUVA
Hashem, I’m sorry I believed im so small
Stuck in my pain
And the teshuva gets bigger
And in this state
The ratzon gets larger
WE START TO ELEVATE
GOING THROUGH THE MIXTURE
Over the flesh and its blocks
We start to elevate
A tiny bit more over falsehoods
And the strangling of the environment
In truth
You are connecting to the emet of Hashem
And light strengthens
And life is ELEVATED
The one thing that is impossible to do.
Its impossible to do one thing
To stop the process of YETZIRA
From someone who is naturally at YOTZERET
When you get a spiritual tiredness
And it becomes irritating
The ability to tap into something spiritual
Is hard work
But its right there
Hshem is creating the world effortlessly
It doesn’t require a whole deal of effort
It has to be hard
Then we are putting one ourself a layer and another layer
We are putting on ourself anxiety
What if this is your NATURAL STATE
Our tefilla
Creating an inner image
Yerushaliyim ircha
We are BUILDING AN IMAGE
Not being difficult
You haven’t gone through all the meditations to get to dveikus
Being NATURAL can be problematic
The teshuva: is the ANAVA, HUMILITY
YOU don’t need the meditations.
It’s a whole hard work
Its actually just there
(Increasing daas increases pain: mishlei)
Sometimes I am asking my pain what is it
Creating based on your inner flow
The more you connect to torah
And Emunah
The more the creativity is in the heights of emet
If there’s pain coming up
Interestingly it comes up when you try to force it
I want to get there
If you are following
ITS JUST THERE
What is my neshama telling me right now.
Someone who has the capacity to be a yotzer
Must BE INVOLVED
IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE HER IN
SHIDCHI / ground level learning alone
Shalhevet haneshama
The flame of the neshama just goes
Im not trying to create
Ie im reading rashi and I say somethings there
Stop it from its process
The expansion of though is the constant demand
That every mindful person
Meditator
Creative thinker
Your neshama is constantly demanding it from you
A more expansive thought
Learn pshat….
But it will be expansive
When you are learning shitchi
Learn it as it is about to birth something in you
And you are creating a schedule of learning
(men need the objectivity, not a process of Emunah, its emet)
When you are trying to constrict your mind with the
On the ground-ness
You CREATE THE ILLNESS
OF THOUGHT BEING PAINFUL
WITH EVERY power we need to be redeemed from it
To take it out of mitzraim
When the seed rots
New life emerges
It sometimes starts with pain
Not pain to join
When one level rots
One building is being destroyed
You need to build a new one
A natural level
Bitul
Let go of what your assumptions are
And then something new comes in
1. Surrendering bitul
2. Allowing the old to rot
These build our creativity
Rav Katz has she been to a lot of therapy
No surprise
This is starting of navua
When you’ve been elevated to that level
And you come back to ground
And you feel your middos
What kind of neshama is creative?
It’s the free neshama
What happens is
Like in the body
When something new comes in
Your body has to grow and stretch
When this FREE SPIRIT HAPPENS
OUR system has to adjust to that.
Its possible that because the neshama expands
The pains of the body increases
You just have more stuff coming up
“the more chochma, the more kaas
More daas is adds pain
Know that when this happens
When this pain comes up
It doesn’t diminish daas
It only increases its flair
The birth pangs of yetzira
All its vessels and strengths
All the vessels of our body and capacities of our soul
In order to expand our neshama
Until the heights of sheifot
To make the wills of the body
The neshamas will so it all fits together
And the light of life
The life force
With all its capacity for sheleimut
One second of moment of anger
Is lifefore of his will
A MOMENT OF ANGER
The pains of the body
And suffering of the spirit
Like a prison
They add more pleasantness
The the ohr haelyon
Hashems the ultimate yetzir
Every midda just breaks from the enormity of the burden
Each time a midda breaks open
And each one meats another
And unites
With the yetzira
And we can’t get the words out
The ONEG OF TOV
THE PLEASURE OF GOOD
The experience of experiencing Hashem
In a more certain way
All this stuff
Is sprouting open
Then you will skip over like an ayal
The tzipia/ vision of the future
That is so clarified now
A secure trusted reality
In your mind
So alive then it starts to enliven us
With the rays of the harmony
Of its lights
Before its revealed
Then he says chassidut is the beginning of navua
Why does chassidut talk to us
Because our neshama is knocking
One step is missing
WHAT IF OUR NESHAMA HAS NEVUA
Chanuka
You must have holy imagination
Yehudis said, that was only 12 hours ago
Machshava map
What did that feel like
Create a rishimu
Looking at the candle
I have the capacity to draw light into me
What does that look like?
The beginnings of nevua
We want a seed a gaarin
Vis-à-vis coming into an age where nevua is a reality
Where NEVUA AND TEFILLA MEET
Not about my emotions
But opening up to what emotions look like
When we dream of geula
The more we are willing to go there
And mamash enter that place
The tzipiat ha yeshua
Did YOU LONG/ TZIPIA FOR GEULA
Did you visualize it
I may not know
My neshama is trying to paint for me an image
YOU ARE A BIG SOUL
DREAM
THIS is your neshama
Not a RANDOM THING THAT IT HAPPENS TO ME
NOT FORCING IT
The more we are open to these inner knockings
With more emuna
We can go there more frequently and get more access points
Chanuka
You don’t get answers you already knew
Its chinuch
What are we beginning
A beginning
When you’re at the end of WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW
Our ruchaniut doesn’t have to be hard
Its there
Ashrecha
We tend to think that the darkness helps me access
No you’ve entered int what the darkness is
The light is in the darkness
That whole dark is light!!!
Give permission to do it more freely
In that exploration
Tefilla
Little sparks of geula light
Enter us
To see the darkness is not a point of light
Get downloads
And let our neshama do its thing
And not be worried about what it is and what it isn’t
Whatever Hashem is choosing for me in the moment
And not be afraid
Of the creativity of the moment.
Embrace it.
