The Book-as-Cube Hand Rotation Demo 0:00

Yeah, I had to flip the tape. It it's still horizontal, not diagonal. Yeah, but if you look, like if you take your book and close it, you'll see that the book is a cube, right? Or not a cube exactly, a rectangle cube, right? Right. And it's like a elongated סוכה, right? Right. Now if you put your hand on the top, if you put your right hand on the top of the book, in the middle, now you move it over, so half of it is on the book and half of it is off the book on the right side, right?

Right. Now it's on the book, right? Now if you bring it over to the side, and now it's vertical. You know what I'm talking about?

Now you're touching the right side of the book. Mhm. It's vertical, right? And if you touch the top, it's horizontal. Right. To go between the two of them, you have to to turn your hand. You know what I'm talking about?

I don't know. שמעון, do you know what he's talking about? If your hand is on top of the book with half of that hand on the book, half the hand off the book Yeah, like a corner, you know. In order to turn your hand, there's a corner which is diagonal. You're on the corner. You turn along the corner, and you're going from your hand being on the top of the book, which is up, the direction of up, Right.

to the direction of right. Right, okay. In order to do that, your hand has to go diagonal, Right. along that line. Like it's like a thing of a door, you know?

Where the door turns on, like a hinge. Right. So those are hinges. Along those lines, it turns from top to right. Right. And along the front, if you bring your hand now, you're on the right, and you bring it to the front of the book, that's where it's going to turn from right to front,

right? Right. You know what I'm talking about, right? Mhm. And on the other side, it'll turn from front to left,

right? Right. So the right and the left is two opposites, same like the up and the down, so they don't have a diagonal line connecting them

Diagonal Paths Between חסד, גבורה, and תפארת 2:40

because they're two opposites. They have a horizontal or vertical line connecting them. Right. But there's actual connection because, in other words, the right is חסד and the left is גבורה. חסד and גבורה can't actually touch, but like the front is תפארת.

Right. So to go from חסד to תפארת, you have to go through a diagonal line. And also in the in the חג״ת, in the in the in the three right, left, and center diagram, it's also like that. Right. From חסד to גבורה, there's a horizontal line,

and from חסד and גבורה to תפארת, there's diagonal lines. So the diagonal lines is where it changes over from one to the other, the different combinations, there's 12 different ways of combinations.

Right. And those are the קווי אלכסון. Where are we? Ah, דאיקריו י״ב קווי אלכסון. Okay. והקו האמצעי נקרא בריח התיכון שמבריח מן הקצה, like we said before, that it's one ענין from the beginning to the end. היינו דהיינו שעולה עד פנימיות הכתר, and because it's מבריח מן הקצה אל הקצה and it goes all the way to the עצם הרצון שלמעלה מהתחלקות הקוין, like we like we learned before, and we're going to learn this again later, so the פנימיות הכתר is למעלה מהתחלקות קוין, because the רצון comes in a in a החלט עצמי.

That's what He wants and that's what He wants. There's no there's no התחלקות קוין in it. על כן, since it's higher than התחלקות קוין, על כן יש בכחו לחבר ולכלול בית הקוין. That's why it can include the two קוין, right and left. וביאור עניין פנימיות הכתר דנאצלים שנקרא כתר שבכתר, והוא בחינת כתר דעתיק ואריך (עתיק יומין ואריך אנפין) כולו, היינו בחינת הרצון והתענוג הבא בגילוי שנקרא אור הכתר, שגם הוא כלול מי' ספירות.

כתר is also made of י' ספירות. ובחינת חכמה שבכתר זהו הטעם לרצון, ונקרא טעם כמוס לרצון. וכן יש בו חסד ונצח, והכל בבחינת הרצון שהוא בלתי מוגבל, גם שבא בגילוי מעצם העלם הרצון דא"ק.

But when it comes, the actual רצון itself is בלתי מוגבל. Like we're going to learn we're going to learn this later that

the רצון is actually even even the רצון הפרטי is really בלתי מוגבל. Right. In other words, what what he wants in the house before he starts thinking about it is an infinite house.

Infinite Desire (רצון) Beyond All Limits 6:05

There's no end to how much luxury he wants in his house. Right. In other words, even some stupid person like anybody, what he really wants in the רצון is the the palace of Versailles or even bigger.

Right. You know, where he'll have ballrooms and

bowling alleys and who knows what, and a helicopter pad.

It's only once it goes to the שכל, says, "How are you going to get?" The שכל tells him how you're going to get a house like that. Right. There there it becomes, but in the the רצון itself it's all infinite, and and this will be discussed later. גם שבא בגילוי מהעלם האצילות כנ"ל. ועל כן המידות שברצון ותענוג נקראים ימי קדם לגבי מידות של החכמה ובינה שבאים בהגבלה כפי הגבלת השכל הגלוי בלבד.

Now you notice that here he says ימי קדם, that's לגבי המידות of עתיקות which is called ימי עולם.

But earlier in the book he says that the מידות of א"ק are called ימי עולם.

And the מידות before the צמצום are called ימי קדם, so it's it's according to this is that's like he says, לגבי מידות שבחכמה ובינה שבאים בהגבלה כפי הגבלת השכל הגלוי בלבד, כמו שיתבאר, this will be explained later. אך בחינת מלכות שבכתר, ובחינת חיצוניות הכתר, meaning from חכמה of the כתר,

not from כתר of כתר, נחלק לג' קווין, מפני שבטעם הכמוס לרצון נראה התחלקות הרצון לחסד גבורה וממוצע.

In other words, where there is an explanation of why do you want this, where there is an explanation why, so there there can already be a a a division of חסד, גבורה, וממוצע. אבל בכתר שבכתר עצם הרצון הוא שלמעלה מטעם כמוס לרצון, עדיין רק רצון פשוט ועצמי בלא טעם כלל, there's no reason for it. So that's what he wants, and that's what he wants. There's no there's nothing to divide.

That's what he wants, that's it. Right. You can't move to the right or left. Only in the טעם כמוס there you can already move to the right or left.

Why? כי אין טעם לרצון כלל. גם לא טעם כמוס, really there's not even a טעם כמוס, the רצון itself really doesn't even have a טעם כמוס.

Means that's what he wants, and that's what he wants. And when it says אין טעם לרצון, so what do you mean, that the reason of the רצון is that he wants to get the תענוג?

Because that's not the טעם, we're talking about intellectual טעם. The thing that he wants to get the תענוג, that is עצם הרצון. רצון and תענוג is ממש the same thing, that's not what it means by טעם, it means a reason.

Because the תענוג also has, why does he want this תענוג and not another תענוג? Right. You know, so that also just in the רצון and תענוג there's no, like they say, על טעם ועל ריח אין להתווכח. Right. So why does somebody likes, this guy likes Chinese food and this guy likes Sephardic food, there's nothing to talk about. אויף א תאווה פרעגט מען נישט קיין קשיות. Yeah, there it's a תאווה.

On a תאווה, that's what he wants. There's no the you can't there's no reason, so since there's no reason, it can't be מתחלק to right and left.

And it's only the טעם כמוס, once you come up with a reason, which the reason is really a rationalization for it, it's just to explain it really to other people, to show people that you're not totally totally crazy.

But really it's not true, you are totally crazy. The real thing is that the רצון is totally crazy, it has absolutely no reason to it. נקרא התחלקות הרצון לחסד ורחמים, וכולי, כתר שבכתר שלמעלה מטעם כמו שהוא הרצון, עדיין רק רצון פשוט ועצמי בלא טעם כלל, כי אין טעם לרצון כלל, גם לא טעם כמוס. ענין שתוק כך עלה במחשבה

about רבי עקיבא. I think it's about רבי עקיבא. Yeah, it is. That the the angels said, "What that's what you give, that's your card you give to the to the to the such a great תלמיד חכם?" משה רבינו said. No? Yeah, משה רבינו said it to the רבונו של עולם. Uh-huh, okay. שתוק, he says, "שתוק כך עלה במחשבה." You've got nothing to, there's nothing to talk about.

There's nothing to talk about. כך עלה במחשבה, it is עצם הרצון, you can't you can't ask for a reason. There's no whys over there, that's what it is. כמו שמבואר במקום אחר. על כן הוא למעלה מהתחלקות ימין ושמאל, וכולי. אגם שבא בגילוי מבחינת הארה פני שבהעלם הרצון דבחינת א״ק,

even though it's already a גילוי from the העלם הרצון of of of א״ק, is still really infinite and without divisions. והנה בסעיף ט״ו, וזהו אומר והבדילה הפרוכת בין הקודש ובין קודש הקדשים, בחינת פרסא

שבין כתר דכתר לחוכמה דכתר. The כתר דכתר is called the קודש הקדשים, and חוכמה דכתר is called קודש. והוא בחינת

Brain's Air and Water Layers Explained 11:46

קרומא דאווירא. On the brain, there is a layer of air between the brain and the גולגלתא.

I don't know if the scientists know about this yet, but it it's there. They are scientists already know that on top of the brain there's a layer of water, לחלוחית.

Right. And then there's a layer of air, which that's a פרסא. A פרסא means a mile. And what how can you have a mile? Is it well You know You know they say, "A miss is as good as a mile." Did you ever hear that? A what? A miss is as good as a mile. Yeah, right. If you're trying to shoot somebody, and missing him by one inch is as good as missing him by a mile.

Right. Makes no difference, so the thing is that there's a tiny little layer it's called a mile. It's a separation. Once it's a separation, it's a separation.

A פרסא means a Persian mile, which is 2.3 miles. Right. So,

it's called the קרומא דאווירא, and on top of the קרומא דאווירא, there's another on the bottom of the skull, and this also they know, there's another layer of לחלוחית, water, and that's called the upper water.

The layer of the water on the on the brain is called the lower water, and the layer of the water on the skull is called the upper water.

And when you can bring down from the upper water to the lower lower water, that's called טלא דבדולחא. Right. טלא דבדולחא

is a physical thing. Right. It's a physical drop of water. It's not actually water, it's a certain kind of liquid. Like the liquid on top of the brain, our whole intellect, you know, like they found out that it's it's not the volume of the brain, but the surface area of the brain that makes a person smart. Right. Because then he has more לחלוחית The more wrinkles there are, in other words, the more surface.

More surface. If there's more surface, and it's water, because it's the surface לחלוחית, which is where the תענוג is. לחלוחית is פנימיות עתיק, it's פנימיות פנימיות אבא, that's where the whole השכלות come from.

Right. And that's the כח המשכיל, which כח המשכיל is חוכמה דאריך. This This we learn other place.

It will It'll be covered later, it's also covered in chapters one and two, it's the כח המשכיל. Right. The כח המשכיל is basically the לחלוחית on top of the brain.

That's חוכמה דאריך. And higher than that is the גולגלתא, which is the עצם הרצון, which is כתר שבכתר. which is that's called קודש קדשים.

Right. Now, the the way to bring down the טלא דבדולחא, which is also called טל תחיית המתים, right, from the upper waters to the lower waters is through the study of חסידות. Right.

So, when we say that the study of חסידות is extremely addicting, we're not referring to a spiritual matter or an abstract matter. We're referring to an actual drug which is injected directly into your brain. Right.

Not into your arm, into your brain directly. It's a direct injection of a drug, like as if somebody would take a needle and put it into somebody's head and inject them with a drug. Right. And this drug is comes from the תענוגים עצמיים.

There is no bigger תענוג called סם החיים. סם החיים. There's no bigger תענוג in the world than this טלא דבדולחא being injected into your brain.

Once somebody has got a injection of this, it is completely addicting, and there is no known method to beat this addiction. Right. Absolutely none. You can and the AA will not help you.

There's no such thing as a טלא דבדולחא Anonymous,

and even if there was, they wouldn't be able to help you. Once you get a taste of this, it's all over. Yeah. And it's and we're talking about an actual physical chemical thing. Right.

The טלא דבדולחא. However, unlike most other drugs that are deteriorative and are bad for your health and mess up your brain, over here, we say, you know, you know, the advertisement, "This is your this is this is drugs, this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs," and then you get, like like one of the guys was telling me, he says, "It's a weird advertisement.

It looks beautiful." Right. You know, he says, "Hey, that's my brain on drugs? That looks great. Look at those sunny-side-up eggs." You know, that's wonderful.

Right. Really, the טלא דבדולחא is like that. It actually, not only does it not decrease your brain power, it actually increases your brain power.

And not only doesn't it make take away from your health, but it adds to your health to the point that when it reaches the the ענין of a מבול. What's a מבול? You know what's a מבול. Right. When the upper waters are coming down to the lower waters,

נפתחו ארובות השמים, and the טלא דבדולחא is coming down, not just טיפין טיפין to where you get just a a fantastic rush, but it's coming down constantly, right, in infinite amounts, at that point, it actually makes a person immortal. Right. We are talking literally over here. Yeah, literal immortality. We're talking about literal immortality.

Not spiritual immortality in heaven, we're talking about literal physical immortality. Right.

This physical immortality, a person who is immortal like this, you cannot kill him with bullets.

Bullets will not kill him. Fire will not kill him. He will not drown in water.

As a matter of fact, even supernatural creatures like demons and angels will be less than him. That's why the angels are so afraid of letting us have this taste מעץ החיים.

Right. So, this is what we're talking about here.

The הבדלה, the קרומא דאוירא, which is between the upper water and the lower water, מבואר במקום אחר באריכות, and this is all explained in other places at great length, ולכן אומרים יהי רצון מלפניך מלפני הפרסא, higher than the קרומא דאוירא, לשנות מרצון של דין לרצון של חסד כהאי גוונא ודי למבין. ודי למבין, to change over the whole from the רצון של דין of the גלות to the רצון של חסד of ביאת המשיח, etc.

This is enough to understand what we're what we're really talking about. Right. That's what we're really talking about. We're talking about, in other words, and this is even though it sounds absolutely ridiculous,

Belief, Heresy, and the Promise of Immortality 20:27

if you don't believe this, you're a heretic.

You're not Jewish if you don't believe what I just said. You're a total heretic. You don't believe the 13 principles of the רמב"ם. Right.

תחיית המתים. Right. If you don't believe it, you don't not only not only In other words, not only can this keep the person who is alive immortal, there's something I left out. It can bring a dead person back to life and make him immortal. Right. Even if he's totally rotten and there's nothing left of him except the עצם לוז. Right. So we're talking here, what is it, Jurassic Park times.

Right. You know, gigantic miracles. And the thing that causes it is חסידות. This is What we're holding in our hands is the hypodermic needle

that injects straight into your brain. Right. ודי למבין. You

want to talk about flight of tell you, huh? I mean it's like totally ridiculous things. This is the אמת. Yeah, but the thing is, look. I mean, this is this is it's not just חסידות. It's straight הלכה. Right. הלכה is totally basic הלכה. If you don't believe this, it's it's even before הלכה. It's the י"ג עיקרים. Right. If you don't believe this, you're you're You're a heretic.

You're not a פרום איד. You're not Orthodox. You're Reform. Right. Not only that, if you don't believe this, you're actually חייב מיתה. You're supposed to kill a guy like that. Except in nowadays they're תינוק שנשבה. That's the only reason why they're not חייב מיתה.

To that extent. Right. You know. Not only that, this
