End Chapter 31 and 32 · Part 5 Chapters 30-33

Internal vs External Intentions in Tools 0:00

It's דווקא in the פנימיות, and the כוונות of the מעשה of the thing, and in the כוונות there can be two different כוונות going together.

Whereas in the גוף המעשה, the גוף המעשה is only one ענין. Right. Like he says now, בלאו הכי בחיצוניות, שהרי אין מלאך אחד עושה שתי שליחות הפוכות.

And the actual כלי, even if you say that the כלי, the external כלי is doing דין, and the internal light is חסד. But the כלי is doing דין, and that's all it's doing. It can't do דין, a כלי can't do דין and חסד at the same time. Right. It's דווקא in a light that you can have two opposite intentions working together. Right. A light can have an actual two two opposite intentions.

But in the actual smile, a smile is not a frown. Right. In other words, a one מלאך can't do two שליחות'es. Either he's a מלאך of a smile, or else he's a מלאך of a frown. Right. Even if you say, yeah, he's a מלאך of a smile, but inside of him is a frown, is yeah, but as far as as the מלאך, he can only do one שליחות.

A Single Angel Cannot Perform Opposite Missions 1:14

Right. He can't do two opposite שליחות'es. Why? מפני שכל שליחות השפעה בא מחיצוניות הכלי דווקא, שמביא השפעה לחוץ, that brings the השפעה of it to the outside, and to bring it to the outside, you can only bring it out in one way. You can't bring it out in two ways. Right. So it seems like the real thing, the outside of the כלי is coming only in one way.

It makes no difference what you say. The outside of the כלי is that's what it is. Right.

And it's דווקא the inside of the כלי that's בטל to the opposite thing. Not the outside. כמו חיצוניות הכלים דאישים כהאי גוונא, וכן פני אריה אל הימין וכולי, לא ישנו תפקידם.

By the angels, you see the the the the lion is on the right, and the ox is on the left, always. Right. And they'll never they can't change.

לא יתחברו להחליף ממעשיהם להחליף, and they won't join together to change over, or say, okay, today I'll be on the left, you'll be on the right.

להחליף מעשיהם זה לזה, to change over the thing that a פאטש is a פאטש, and a smile is a smile. Right. That's what it is.

A פאטש, whether it's a פאטש of חסד or a פאטש of גבורה, but the פאטש itself is a פאטש. Right. It's it's it's it's a כלי of גבורה only.

ולכך כל יומא בעבידתיה דווקא, that's why each day has its own work. אך הענין הוא משום דפנימיות הכלי

הוא מקבל מבחינת אור פנימי המוגבל בכלי. וכאשר יש התכללות באורות, יש ממילא יש התכללות בפנימיות הכלים. כמו התפעלות והשגות מיכאל וגבריאל.

So when there's התכללות in the in the אורות, which comes from the קו, from the inner כוונה, which which is מקבל the light, then there can be התכללות בפנימיות הכלים. Like in the התפעלות והשגות of מיכאל and גבריאל. Which is the פנימיות מיכאל גבריאל, not not their actions, it's talking their התפעלות והשגות. ומחיצוניות הכלים מבחינת הכח המגביל שבבחינת מקיף, that the חיצוניות הכלים comes from the actual כח המגביל, which is in a way of a מקיף.

על כן יש בו ב׳ הפכים כאחד, בחינת התכללות דבר והפוכו דווקא. Therefore דווקא over there you can really have a thing and its opposite, because nonetheless, it is it it she killed him. It doesn't matter that she how she did it. You see that it it had its opposite effect in the outside, literally. It did do a שליחות the opposite of itself. How does על כן יש בו ב׳ הפכים כאחד follow from חיצוניות הכלים מבחינת הכח המגביל?

Because the מקיף Because it's not like the the פנימי. In the פנימי there's there's there's a thing of it's either this or that. And it's דווקא when there's actually התכללות then it can be as as. It's not an actual גבול. It's an actual intention. It's not an actual גבול, it's a כח המגביל.

The כח המגביל, no, the thing of the כח המגביל from the מקיף. In the מקיף the מקיף is above, it says by the מקיף it says that he doesn't know the difference between המן and and and מרדכי or עשו and יעקב. דווקא דווקא from the מקיף. In the מקיף you can have a דבר והפוכו. כמו כל הניסים שהם דווקא בחינת חיצוניות הכלים בפועל ממש. The whole thing of a נס is דווקא in the חיצוניות הכלים, that the water stood up.

כמו כל מקום שנעשה בו הנס שהמקום שהמקום הזה סובל דבר והפוכו מלמעלה מן הטבע בטבע, that the actual place can take a thing and its opposite higher than the than the טבע inside the טבע, כהפיכת ים ליבשה. Like to change over the

ocean to dry land, that miracle is done in not in a spiritual fashion. The whole thing of the miracle is דווקא in a physical fashion.

כהאי גוונא, מקום ארון אינו מן המדה. That it's a thing that we're talking about the actual ארון and the actual measurement. Is that kind of the same thing, the same ענין, like we said before about, you know, like with the sudden panic or something that the mother can lift the car and stuff like that?

That the מקיף that that's from כח המקיף, right. That's when it it doesn't come through a צמצום. It comes directly.

וכמו שבמקום אחר, וגם משם הוא בא שורש בחינת התחלקות, כל אחד מובדל בפני עצמו. And also from there comes the שורש of the התחלקות, that each one is מובדל by itself.

That each כלי is דווקא its own thing. From one thing from there can come the thing of the התכללות where where they're both the same. And another thing from דווקא from the מקיף comes the from from from that from the beginning of the line, in other words. דווקא from there can come the the התחלקות, why each כלי is דווקא separate by itself. שהוא בא מצד בחינת קו המדה שבמקיף.

That's the thing from the קו המדה שבמקיף. In other words, the beginning of the line, we said before it has the קו המדה has two ענינים. It has the ענין that it can connect everything and has all the opposites דבר והפוכו, and on the other hand, it is the one that separates everything. That this Right. חסד and this is גבורה.

שהוא שורש הכלים המגבילים. That is the שורש of the כלים המגבילים, כו'. וזה עיקר בחינת התיקון מבחינת ריבוי התחלקות דווקא.

That's why it's דווקא from the divisions that come the unification. Like we said, it's דווקא the power that divides, that's the power that unified.

Division of Labor as the Basis of תיקון 8:44

And the whole thing of תיקון In other words, the whole thing of תיקון, basically, is what what it's called division of labor. That it's דווקא the division of labor that makes the army.

That each one has its own Each one is divided into דווקא its own job. And דווקא that way, when they're all together, so that's the התכללות of a תיקון of a greater thing than it could be just without that התחלקות, if each guy would do everything.

If each guy would do everything, then you end up with not such a nobody would Nobody would be a great driller. Right, it's like actually it's they have computers, which is made up of a lot of computers, Yeah. where they they divide the work force over a whole bunch of processors, It's called a cluster, which is basically the same ענין.

They can have 1,000 computers, which is better than one supercomputer. All of these thousands of computers with the It's דווקא the התחלקות that gives the התכללות. each one using its processor where they divide up the what needs to be processed is actually much better than the one supercomputer that can only do one thing at a time. Right.

Army Analogy Demonstrating Division of Labor 10:10

And that's why, like an army, the whole thing of an army, that the army is a whole thing of a התכללות, but the whole thing that gives it this ענין of התכללות is the התחלקות, and that התחלקות is דווקא in the חיצוניות הכלים. Right. This guy is a this guy is army, and this guy is navy, and this guy's a gunner, and this guy's a flyer.

Right. And דווקא that is what makes the תיקון of having the התכללות of an army. דווקא from the חיצוניות הכלים. Whereas the התכללות from the פנימיות, even though

it can the first thing it looks like it's coming really from the fact that the inner intention is joining the various intentions, but really, it's not so much from that. The real ענין of of תיקון means like an army or a society,

where each guy's got his own his own different kind of job. Right. You know, so like like even in a small business, like a restaurant, that guy's the cook and that guy cleans the dishes.

If you just have a thing where everybody would do everything, it wouldn't work so good. There'll be no התכללות. Not only that, like it says, too many too many chefs spoil the dinner, you know, like what happened with אלטער רבי, everybody put salt Too many cooks spoil the broth. Yeah. Right, everybody put salt in. Right.

So, you see that the התכללות is דווקא from the חיצוניות the חיצוניות הכלים, not so much Even though that you it looks like the reason why why is the light בטל I mean why is the כלי בטל to the light?

It seems like that's from the פנימיות הכלים, לכאורה. Like, for instance, in an army, why are they all working together? It's not what coming the thing that they're working together is not coming from their external function.

They're actually not working together. Each one is doing his own specific function. Yeah, but but but why are all That's why they're all That's דווקא why they're all actually working together. working together? Yeah, yeah, but but still, why are they working together?

For a common goal. The common goal is the פנימיות הכלי. Right. Because on their inside, they're all Americans. That's the פנימיות הכלי, and that's really the פנימיות comes from the the fact That's why they joined the army to begin with. that they all have the same light, the same רצון. Right. So, it seems like it's coming from the אור פנימי, which is hitting the the פנימיות of the כלי, not the חיצוניות הכלים.

He says, "Yeah, but still, nonetheless, the fact of the תיקון of the army comes דווקא from the their התחלקות into different functions. That this one just does his own function, and he doesn't do the other function." Right. Meaning that And דווקא like that, you can fly a B a B-42, or whatever it's called, a B-52. This is This is means that it's very nice that they all have the same רצון and the same thing, but if they don't each do it what they If they If they don't have a התחלקות, if there was not a fine התחלקות If they don't have a התחלקות, it would just be a total תוהו.

Huh? If they didn't have the התחלקות, it would just be a total תוהו. It would just be a total תוהו. Even though they have all the same רצון. That was the thing, like what and and and and again, using an army, that you see why the white man conquered the Indian. Because the Indians, even though the Indians were actually more unified from the from the side of the light.

From their פנימיות, they were more unified. And from the their פנימיות, they were more heroic. But each one was a whole brave. Each one was an army. Right. You couldn't tell this guy, "Well, you can't have the glory, you're going to have to be the guy who cleans the fish." What do you mean? I'm a brave. I want A warrior. to earn my I want to earn my feathers.

Right. Right? Yeah. And in the white man's army it was just that for the opposite, some of these soldiers could care less. They weren't so interested in the whole thing.

They were just, what do you call it? Career soldiers. They were not so brave.

And the thing is, though, that they were separated into different functions. So that this guy was this, and that guy was that. But the Indians, each one of them wanted to have all the glory and they'd go whooping into battle.

Indians vs White Army: Unity vs Division 15:25

Okay, so עיקר בחינת כלים, the עיקר בחינת התיקון בחינת ריבוי התחלקות דווקא. Means, it's דווקא the the division of labor that makes the תיקון. Because דווקא when there's a division of labor, so there can be a joining into a higher grouping, like the white army.

But in the Indians there was no division of labor, so even though the Indians were actually more unified from the inside than the white army. Right? Right. They were really

on the principle of it, and they were the ones that were defending their own land and stuff like that. You know, same thing with with the Romans and stuff like that, you know. So it's דווקא the התחלקות that brings about the תיקון when you have each one doing his own specialty.

Specialty. And then they can conquer over a bunch of guys that each one is a whole army by himself, without specialties.

So דווקא in the התחלקות there can be the התכללות. By the Indians there could be no התכללות. It's התכללות of what? There was no division.

So what unification could there be? Right. Each one was doing the whole thing all by himself, really. It was just a bunch of guys that each one was doing the same thing. Right. דבר והפוכו כאחד. A thing and its opposite like one. In other words, this one is doing a a thing of the hero, and at the same time there's another guy who's like doing a thing of a milktoast sitting in the office and writing up reports.

Yeah, pencil pushing. The pencil pusher. And it would seem like it's just the opposite of the of a of of a soldier. You try to get an Indian to be a pencil pusher, he said, "What, I'm going to sit and pencil push?

I want to go out there and get the glory. I'm a warrior." דבר והפוכו כאחד. וזהו עיקר בחינת אדם דתיקון, כולו. The main thing of אדם is that there's a division of organs. שאמר "אחור וקדם צרתני", יצירה בגוף קודמת דווקא, כולו, קדם לבחינת קודם לבחינת החומר הפשוט שקודם לצורה.

And this end thing of the final חומר of the actual body preceded the light in the חומר הפשוט which is before the צורה, שהוא האור. In other words, the

the vision of the final thing, of how the whole army will be moving together. והוא בשורש הכלים שקדם לאור. ואחר בכלי החומר, and and after, so there was קודם קדם, the the חומר precedes the light, and it's also after the light.

וכלי החומר שאחר האור בצורה, that comes after the light and it's through the actual physical thing. This, by the way, is the whole ענין of the השתלשלות יש מיש. That the יש האמיתי means that the final person comes from the actual thing that preceded the whole thing of the light altogether. ודי למבין.

כמו שבמקום אחר ביאר ענין זה באריכות, ודי למבין. And that's that. Okay. Okay, go ahead. ועדיין יש להבין בחינת אדם העליון דאצילות שעל הכסא, chapter 32, שהוא בחינת ז״א דאצילות שמקבל מבחינת נה״י דאבא, כי ידוע שהוא ענין בחינת המדות דאצילות שהוא עיקר ושורש להשפעות מטה להחיות עולמות. That's really the creator of the world.

And in many places when they say השם, that's what it's talking about: ז״א דאצילות, the the man who sits on the chair. ועדיין הוא סוף עולם האין סוף, and really this is also still considered the end of עולם האין סוף, even though before he said only till first he said only till פנימיות עתיק, then אריך, then this and that. Now he's saying really it's all the way to the כלים of ז״א, that's why it's it's called still God.

Right. It's it's still the end of עולם האין סוף, huh? ז״א is called קודשא בריך הוא. Yeah, why? משום דאיהו בחיותיה וגרמוהי חד. Over here it's ממש, it's like the the גופא דמלכא. Right. This is called the the כלים of ז״א is called the גופא דמלכא. You know, להשתחוות בגופא דמלכא. Right. על כן, כנ״ל, על כן גם הבחינת כלים דז״א מבחינת חיצוניות נה״י שבו כולו נחשב עדיין מסוף עולם האין סוף.

וביאור הדברים, הנה מבשרי אחזה אלוקי וכו׳ דע״כ דבצלם אלקים עשה את האדם וכו׳, וכמו שנאמר בצלמנו כדמותנו וכו׳. דהנה אנו רואים בנפש האדם שבחינת חיה יחידה שבו הוא בחינת מקיפים דנר״נ שלמעלה מהגבלת הארת הכלים. והיא בחינת הרצון והתענוג העצמי שבבחינת יחידה, וגם בחינת פנימיות ומקור השכל שנקרא משכיל, שזהו בחינת מקיף דחיה, בלתי מוגבלים בכלי כלל.

רק מחכמה ולמטה, in other words, פנימיות חכמה is בלתי מוגבל. Now by the way, פנימיות פנימיות בינה is also בלתי מוגבל. In some places it says that you know, it says what do you mean that that חכמה is in אצילות and בריאה is and בינה is in בריאה, aren't they always together?

So in some places it explains, it says that חכמה and בינה is called חכמה, and ישראל סבא ותבונה is called בינה. In other words, the פנימיות הבינה is really also up there. Right. It's also in a way of of חיה. הוא בחינת מקיפים דנר״נ שלמעלה מהגבלת... wait, wait, וגם פנימיות ומקור השכל שנקרא משכיל, שזהו בחינת מקיף דחיה.

Internal חכמה and בינה Explained 22:06

Like he said, that the פנימיות ומקור השכל is is the also there there is a מקור for בינה also over there, פנימיות בינה. שזהו בחינת מקיף דחיה, בלתי מוגבלים בכלי כלל, רק מחכמה ולמטה נמשך בכלי, והוא הנשמה שבמוח והרוח שבלב וכו׳.

והנה עם כל זה מאיר אור המקיף דרצון ותענוג מבחינת פנימיות אור החכמה בנר״נ, שבג׳ כלים מוח ולב וכו׳. In other words, you see that the רצון is מאיר in them, even though it's not מוגבל by them.

מן העלם, in a hidden way. והוא גילוי הרצון שבא בשכל וטעם, because if the טעם goes מבחינת מוח החכמה שנקרא אבא, ומשם נמשך ומתפשט בבינה, שהיא השגה, ומבינה שבמוח נמשך התפעלות המדות שבלב. In other words, the מדות שבלב, really they are a רצון. Like that's what love is. What is love? Love is a רצון for something. Right. And what's hate? Hate is a רצון against something.

Like it says, אהבה is אבה, אבה means he wants, with a ה in it.

דהיינו מל״ב חדרים שבמוח שנקראים ל״ב שבילי דבינה. This is ל״ב נתיבות חכמה. Right. Here he calls it ל״ב שבילי דבינה. And he's talking about פנימיות בינה. Could that be, I just want to ask, could that be because there's like in דרך חיים he talks about two different ל״ב נתיבות: the נתיבות how they come from חכמה to בינה, which that's the ל״ב שבילין, and then the ל״ב נתיבות of how from אריך is drawn into חכמה, or from פנימיות חכמה into...

It's the same one. Like we learned before, that according to where it's coming from in in in אריך, that's where it is in in חכמה. If it's from מזלות, it's in חב״ד דחב״ד. If if it's in in the the מדות, then it's the מדות of חב״ד. It's according to the three levels in אריך, that's how it's the three levels in in חכמה. Right. But it's like you said that it doubles over.

Like like you said it doubles over into 64. Yeah, not only here. Over here that in בינה that is also, when he says ל״ב שבילין דבינה, it's פנימיות בינה. Right, right. פנימיות בינה is in אריך. There's ל״ב שבילין, and that's why they're called שבילין. A שביל means a road. Right. A נתיב It also means a road. Right. A road goes from one place to another place. Right.

It travels through, it travels through, you know, you're going on Route 66, you know. Right. You travel through this town and that town, you're going to St. Louis down to Missouri, Right. down to Oklahoma or whatever, you know, like the song says, you travel through all the different cities.

These ל"ב שבילין, they go they go from inside to the outside, and also from the outside to the inside. You can travel it you can travel in both ways. Right. ומתפשטים להיות מוחין לז"א, and they travel all the way down to ז"א. וכולו.

And not only that, that's why ז"א is called a לב because that's where the ל"ב שבילין are going to. כי המוחין נחלקים לד', because the מוחין open up into four, חכמה, בינה, חסד, וגבורה. The דעת opens up into two מוחין. דעת is דעת ממוצע between חסד and גבורה.

Now, this is not מדות, it's מוחין. These חסד and גבורה, they're they're ממש מוחין. Because the מוח הדעת opens up to become so instead of three מוחין he has four מוחין.

וכל אחד יש בו ח' חדרים. As a matter of fact, when I I learned this with her, I I send her sometimes things over the internet, I sent her a thing about this, and she you know, she's a she's a doctor.

So, she says, what's it called, the cerebellum? Right. The cerebellum is a double brain.

The same like the front brains is made up of two sides, you know. Mhm. She said the cerebellum is actually some kind of a double brain.

I don't know the פרטים to it, but she says, yeah, that's exactly how it is. It's really a double brain. It's two brains back there. Right. It looks like one brain, but really it is made up as a double brain, and they're not really sure how it works, but he says here how it works: it opens up into the two brains of חסד and גבורה.

Brain Structure and the Eight Chambers Concept 27:20

וכל אחד יש בו ח' חדרים. Each one of these brains has

eight rooms in it, שזה ל"ב. So, the brains means there's a front brain and a back brain. I don't know if he tells it over here or I learned it from somewhere else, but the eight חדרים are the השתלבות of י-ק-ו-ק with א-ד-נ-י.

Aha. So, and the eight חדרים, and this is the whole thing of the סוכה, means it has eight סוכות in it.

So, basically you have like a square A cube. No, it's a square. Not a cube. Okay. It's חכמה, בינה, חסד, וגבורה. Right, okay. That's a square. That's a square, right. Right? And on each corner of the square there's another square. No, on each corner of the square is a cube, which a cube is eight. That's the סוכה, there's a סוכה on each one of them. And then this square is the upper that's this whole square is the ceiling of the סוכה.

The Heart of the Sukkah and Its Eight Chambers 28:56

And the heart is the floor of the סוכה, which is another square with with another eight חדרים. That's why it's called a לב. Right?

Aha. Not only that, if you look at this, it's a matrix. You know what a matrix is? What's a matrix? A matrix is a tic-tac-toe.

You know what I'm talking about? No, I don't. A tic-tac-toe, don't you know what a tic-tac-toe is? I know what a tic-tac-toe is. A tic-tac-toe is a matrix.

Now
