Angels, Names, and Divine Presence 0:06

I can't remember where I read this. I don't think it was in תניא. תניא?

So that's what it means מלאך השם, that השם is in him. Yeah. The מלאך is the כלי and השם is in him, he's לבוש for it. Right, but there's also explains that there's different there's הוי'ה, there's also הוי'ה from the from the left side.

So, or the מלאך אלוקים or whatever, there's different names go into the angels. In other words, a light, a ספירה goes into the angel. And it says when he's when the angel is full of the light, I think this in תניא, I don't know if it's in תניא or I read it somewhere else, I just read it recently, that when when the angel is doing a שליחות, the name is in him to the point that the angel is actually called God.

Right. Like I saw God. It says, I saw God. Right. And when the name is when he's not on a שליחות and the name is not in him, so he says the angel says, קדוש קדוש קדוש.

Means קדוש means מובדל. Isn't that a רש"י? Not just מובדל, but קדוש קדוש קדוש. It's a רש"י. Yeah? A couple פרשיות ago with the שר of of עשו that it says that he ruled over אלוקים or whatever, so רש"י says that because the מלאכים, when they're on שליחות, they're called by the שם of אלוקים. Something like that. I think it's a רש"י. A רש"י also, but I read I read it's a whole explanation in חסידות about this.

Right, okay. I think it's in תניא, I'm pretty sure it's in תניא. And I think it's שער היחוד והאמונה. I'm not sure.

חסד and גבורה in Angelic Functions 1:57

So, the angel is the angel because הפעולה is גבורה. So he sent the angel of גבורה. Right. גבורה שבחסד. But the פנימיות was חסד, the שם inside of him was חסד because he's an angel.

וכן לרפאת איזה חולי, הרי זה מבחינת גבורה שבחסד, כמו זיעה טובה מוציא את החולי והחום. That if you want to get If somebody has a fever, so if you want to cool him down from his fever, actually what you have to do is you have to heat him up. Right. You cover him up with blankets. You don't put him out, and you say, okay, so let's put him outside, he'll cool down a little bit.

Right, you make him sweat. You make him sweat, you make him real hot. Because רפואה מכה, that the רפואה is a bitter thing, it hurts. והוא המכה במכת סנחריב מבחינת חסד שבגבורה, כמו שנאמר ויצא מלאך הוי'ה.

Yeah, here it is. That it was a מלאך הוי'ה that came out. What did he do? He gave them a big חסד, he let them see upstairs.

And hear He let them hear upstairs. וכנודע ודי למבין. דהיינו לכלול השמאל בימין והימין בשמאל. והוא כמו אור החסד בכלי הגבורה, שפועל הכלי היפך האור שלו. שכלי הגבורה פועל דין, היפך אור של חסד, like a pot.

Light vs Vessel: חסד vs דין Dynamics 3:20

Right. שבו. וכן להיפך, כלי החסד, like the like the person that's giving the raise, פועל חסד, היפך אור הגבורה שבו. The אור, the actual intention is opposite. ואין זה הפך כלל, מאחר שהוא מבחינת אור וכלי.

And it's not really opposite, because that's an אור and כלי, שהוא ענין חומר וצורה, כמו שיתבאר, this will be explained later.

Whereas the actual lights, you can't really have

התכללות. The intention of חסד is opposite from the intention of דין. You can't You can't התכלל them. מה שאין כן במקום אחר בענין התכללות שם מ"ב ושם ע"ב, שם ב' פרשיות, did you ever count those properly? Who Who counted? Was

Counting the Words of שמע and Numerical Values 4:22

it שמעון counted? שמעון. Yeah. Yeah. Did Did you Did you ever count them, finally? The years?

The the the the amount of words in the two Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The way it is, it's like it's it's it's not really 72 in the second one. It's really more than that, but it's up to a certain part of it is 72. And it comes out to the whole thing. And then if you count the ויולך etc. twice, then it comes out to the it comes out right like he said.

Aha. Yep, the two pieces of כובל. No, it's the way that you count it is really the second paragraph of שמע is not really all the way to the end of the second paragraph like we read, it's actually shorter than that.

So that's what he's counting it to, and then if you count all the words, it's actually more than that, and then if you count the השם אלוקיכם אמת twice, so then it's like he says over there. Which I don't remember what he did say over there, exactly, but how much he said it was.

But, yeah, it works. צו ביידע פרשיות קריאת שמע, כדי דדוקא באברהם איז א חסד, ותנופה זו לוים, ונכללו, דלוים איז א ענין פון גבורה, שנכללו בחסדם דכהנים, that they were given to serve the כהנים. מה שנאמר וילוו עליך וישרתוך והיפוכו. וכהאי גוונא רבים, there's many instances like this. וכל זה אינו רק מצד קצת התחלקות שבכל אחד, על כן מצא מין את מינו ונעור, and it wakes it up, גם בהיותם בהיפוכם ממש, even though they're totally הפוכים.

וכמו ענין התחלקות מיכאל וגבריאל, שר של אש ושר של מים, ואין מקבלין זה את זה, מה שנאמר עושה שלום כולו.

But this is דוקא by the angels, which are כלים, לפי שיש בכל אחד מהיפוכו המנגדו דוקא. And this is דוקא by the כלים. That's why תיקון, the thing of תיקון, the thing of תיקון is less lights, ועורות מרובים.

תיקון vs תהו: Tools and Lights 6:40

You mean כלים מרובים? כלים מרובים, right, right, כלים מרובים, and and עורות מועטים, that's תיקון. Right. Not too much light, but there is a lot of כלים.

Whereas the whole thing of תהו is because it's big lights, so the guy can't give up his disposition. The guy, the guy can't give up his it's it's already talking about the עצם of the principle of the thing. Right. So he can't give up his position to the opposite position.

From the כלי, you can have a כלי of of גבורה to take in its light, a light of חסד. So from the כלים, there can be

a התפעלות. אבל באורות הפשוטים. אבל באורות הפשוטים בתכלית, כמו הבחינות הנקודות, הנקראים כתרים, like we explained before,

עקודים, נקודים, ברודים, אי אפשר כלל להתכלל, they can't join.

מפני שכל אחד נבדל לגמרי מזולתו, ולא ימצא בו כלל מן הבחינה שמנגדו, כמו עצם בחינת הטוב שבעצמיות נפש איש הטוב, הנקרא עמק טוב, ועצם הרע, שנקר עמק רע. Like the עצם הטוב, like like a

Rebbe or something like that, with with להבדיל a Nazi ימח שמו.

And also with the עצם of the principle, even in the שכל. In the עצם of the שכל, בית הלל and בית שמאי can't join.

Right. It's only in the התפשטות, in the כלים they can join, but not in the עצם of the שכל, they can't join. Right.

It's still the the the opinion of בית שמאי is still the same like it was then. It didn't change. The actual opinion in עצם השכל did not change. Right.

אך בבעלי תשובה זה נוראים, שנהפך גם עצם הרע לטוב, but in a בעל תשובה it could change. So that, in general, that כתרים, meaning the עצם, the עצם הרצון, like what it was explained earlier in תהו. So, can זדונות עצמן נעשים כזכיות,

and not only כזכיות, it can be even actually become זכיות. Right. הרי הוא, that is מצד מסירת נפש שבעצמות אין סוף, שנתעלה גם התחלקות עצם החסד וגבורה.

That's already higher than, that's not from the the the כתרים, that's from higher than כתרים, that's in the actual היולי. That's before the, that's before even the כתרים.

From up there, you can even מתכלל the אורות. עצם החסד וגבורה, לכן

יכול להם במסירות נפש טאקע לבוא ולומר יהי רצון בעצם מלפניך וכולי, וכן ויעבור ה' על פניו, דער אויבערשטער went past the פנימיות. He went past even the פנימיות of the רצונות. אל רחום והפוך גם הדין בעצם לחסד וכולי. כמו שיתבאר בענין י״ג תיקוני דיקנא וכולי, ודי למבין.

I'm not actually sure where he explains it, because I don't I don't see anywhere in the book that he explains about the

י״ג תיקוני דיקנא. ודי למבין. היינו זה בחינת התקבלו, that is that this is higher than the התחלקות and the התקבלות itself. יש מכח עצמות אין סוף ממש, and over there it's all a matter of

Crown Concepts and Transformation of Good and Evil 10:42

פעולות, and really it's even higher than that, where it says אליו, כמו שאמרו ז״ל, אליו ולא למדותיו, meaning even higher, גם לא למדותיו העצמיים וכולי. כמו שיתבאר בעזרת השם, ודי למבין. Like it says, to Him and not His מדות, meaning from higher than even the מדות העצמיים.

And that's this. He talks about י״ג מדות הרחמים. Yeah, but he doesn't really explain them. Right.

And only, even the ones he explains, only tells you about ונושא עון ונקה. What's with the other 11? But he explains the source of the whole thing. And the Yeah, yeah, he explains the ענין. He explains the ענין of the י״ג מדות הרחמים. Yeah.

And why it work why they're why how it works that they're י״ג מדות הרחמים is דווקא because they're higher, he explains later on, like by כ״ה, כ״ו, is because they're higher than the חכמה of אריך, which that's the, you know, it's higher than the מצוות Yeah. of the the התחלקות of the דינים of the מצוות. Yeah, yeah, that he explains, yeah, but he doesn't explain the actual ענין, the whole the whole thing of what what what the other 11 are and Right, that he doesn't.

what comes out of them, why 13. Right.

Like, he does explain it, but you have to you have to figure it out.
