End Chapter 45 and Chapter 46 · Part 8 Chapters 34 to End

Okay, ולהבין זה בתוספת ביאור, הרי ידוע שזהו גם כן שורש ענין המשלים, this is also the ענין of the משל, כמו ג' מאות משלים דרבי מאיר כולם, ששרש המשל למעלה מן הנמשל, כמו משלי שלמה. So the ג' there's the 300 allegories of of רב מאיר, I think the 300 allegories of רב מאיר is the three עולמות, בי״ע, and the 3,000 is up in אצילות already.

Root of the Parable and Its Higher Source 0:09

Right. ששרש המשל למעלה מן הנמשל, כמו משלי שלמה, שהן חכמות עמוקות ביותר שאין להם בחינת כלים באותיות, that you cannot just put the שכל into a כלי, into in the just in letters to say the thing itself, this חכמה itself. כי אם בהתלבשותם בענינים זרים נבדלים הרבה מעצם החכמה, דווקא when you enclothed it into a totally different thing that's separate from the עצם החכמה, like in a משל of a גשמיות, שם דווקא יושג עומק החכמה, מה שיוכלו להשיג עומק השכל רק על ידי המשל דווקא, שלא יושג גם בריבוי הסבר דברים, that even if you explain it and explain it, you couldn't explain it, and דווקא through the משל.

והמשל שנעשה לפי אופן הנמשל דווקא הרי בהכרח שישיג לעומק ומקור מוצא הנמשל. In order to come up with a משל גשמי that is according to the אופן הנמשל, it means that he has to understand the עומק ומקור of the נמשל even better than somebody who actually understands the נמשל itself.

ואם לא, לא יכוון המשל לנמשל כלל, then the משל will not be able to be מכוון properly to the נמשל כידוע. אם כן, שורש המשל במקור שכל הנמשל הוא למעלה הימנו. So therefore that the שורש המשל is in the מקור of the שכל הנמשל, otherwise if you didn't know the מקור of the שכל הנמשל, you couldn't make the משל. Not only that, it's really higher than it, because there could be a person who understands the מקור מוצא הנמשל, but will not be able to make a משל.

דווקא דווקא שלמה could make a משל, he's even smarter. Right. ועל זה אמרו דברי חכמים וחידותם, like their the riddles, riddles or משלים, right. שלפי ערך עומק ומקור החכמה כך ערך החידות והמשלים, כמו שלוש מאות דר' מאיר משלים דמשלי שלמה, כמו שמבואר במקום אחר בענין וידבר ג' אלפים משל, דהיינו משל למשל, not 3,000 different משלים, but a משל on a משל 3,000 times, בכדי שיימצא במשל האחרון ביותר, that you see that in the final משל, which is totally מגושם, שם הוא העומק והמקור היותר ראשון של הנמשל.

דווקא there it's higher than the even the depth of the נמשל itself.

And by the way, this is also the thing of the שבירה is also comes from משלים, where basically

somebody takes the משל literally. Right. And doesn't realize that it's a משל, and this is what happened with the עבודה זרה's, you know, like a cow and stuff like that. Right.

Literal Misunderstandings of Metaphorical Teachings 4:00

Or like a father, you know, that God is a father, the father and the mother and stuff like that, so people came up with They misunderstood the משל, like it says שמש ומגן, so they started praying to the sun.

Right. Or like even even now, like if if you look at the Eastern religions, they actually think it means a light. Right. They they they say a light, a white light or something like that. Right. And it really doesn't mean a light, because even אור החכמה doesn't mean a light. Right. חכמה is not a not a light like this light.

Anybody understands that, that אור החכמה, but but nonetheless, people when you say the אור אין סוף They literally think it means like a light, but from a very big light bulb. Right. You know, not just a regular light bulb, a sodium light bulb, like they have the the street lights, you know. Right. And most people think it ממש means light. They don't understand that the whole thing

and even like the spiritual, they don't really realize that the spiritual doesn't mean spiritual, that even this thing of like the spirit in the body, it doesn't mean that the אייבערשטער is like spiritual.

Right. It's a משל. והיינו משל למשל, כמו שמבואר בזהר שנעשה משל אחר יותר, שם הוא העומק והמקור יותר, ויושר של המשל וכו'. וכל זה הוא גם כן בשרש בחינת האותיות. The same thing in the שורש of בחינת האותיות. שעל ידם דוקא יושג היטב אור השכל וכו'. That דוקא through the אותיות and explanations, the depth of this of the light of the שכל will be understood.

Letters as Path to Intellectual Light 5:58

And that's the basic thing of the פירושים של משיח that that it it it דוקא will be משכיל the the infinite light. Right. וכמו כן יובן בענין הגשמה של אור השכל, כל שבא בהשגה והסבר בהגשמה ביותר למטה מטה, שם דוקא בחינת העומק והמקור הוא גוף פנימיות אור השכל וכו'. The more farther down you can explain it, the more it shows how smart he is.

In other words, somebody who can explain it farther down, it means he had to he had to understand it farther up. Right. והיינו גם כן בחינת חיצוניות בינה, שמזה נעשה בחינת לבוש החשמל דבינה. And this is also what is called the חיצוניות of בינה.

Means that from חיצוניות of בינה comes the actual thing through the מלכות of תבונה to come into the letters of an actual explanation. שמזה נעשה בחינת לבוש החשמל דבינה, meaning that when this explanation becomes an explanation, it can become a separated thing out from the actual שכל. Like the חשמל and it gets put into אותיות so you can ממש write it down.

Like what's happening over here, that this book is written down, it's a חשמל.

Right. And this is what it says, ויעש כתנות עור.

And but כתנות עור is דוקא from the שבירה. שהוא בחינת שומר להמוחין שבמדות שלא יבואו לבחינת טעות. That in other words that once he has the בכן, so the בכן goes and becomes the מוחין for the מדות.

And he knows that he likes this thing, and he and and it keeps the מדה. But he doesn't have to go through the whole התבוננות. He just made the decision that he likes it, and that becomes the מוחין for the מדה.

Right. שמזה נעשה בחינת שמזה נעשה השליא לולד וכו'. And this is like the placenta for a baby. It's a קליפה. A general ענין of the קליפות. But when it comes into תיקון, then it becomes כתנות אור with an אלף.

That it not only it doesn't cover it up, but it actually clarifies it.

וכמו שמבואר במקום אחר באריכות בענין אימא פריסת כפא וכו'. וכענין Okay, but like, let me just ask you: the whole the משל still remains, but now the נמשל is מאיר in the משל.

From Fleshly Garments to Garments of Light 9:15

Yeah. The לבוש is still there. In other words, that the משל can be two things: it can If you think that the משל is the actual thing, then it becomes כתנות עור, that it actually covers up on the נמשל.

Right. And you pray to the sun. Right.

If you understand that it doesn't mean actually the light of the sun, but it's a משל,

so then it can actually clarify the נמשל. And the and דוקא through the משל, you see the נמשל.

Then it becomes כתנות אור with an אלף. Right. I think he's going to talk about that in the next chapter, that's the אספקלריא המאירה and stuff like

that. או בענין דשלום אותיות מלבוש או בענין סכך דסוכה כהאי גוונא ודי למבין. And this is basically he's telling you various places in קבלה where it talks about these ענינים.

ודי למבין. So the basic thing here is that it's the אותיות when they when they when they don't hold the שכל, then they break up and it becomes a big בלבול, and that's ענין of the תוהו. And the and when the אותיות do hold the שכל, that's דווקא when the שכל is מתיישב, and that's דווקא how you can get the שכל, is דווקא through the אותיות.

And this is basically the ענין like what he's going to explain later of how the גלות will be straightened out, that the גלות is like a חלום where there's a big בלבול, and what comes along is יוסף פותר החלומות and he says what goes where, he gives the פתרון of the חלומות.

And basically what they said, they said that that the the מיטעלער רבי was משיח בן יוסף, יוסף פותר החלומות.

And and basically, that's that's the thing that we're doing, that we're putting we're putting all these things in order.

Right. Okay, so this chapter is very apropos for right now because it basically talks about

משיח בן יוסף and how he's going to take over the world basically.

And basically what he explains here is that he's going to change the צירופים.

And basically he's going to do it through, like he said before, that the the the whole thing of of תוהו was that the כלים did not hold the light.

This is the thing what the רבי said also that the lights of lights of תוהו in the כלים of תיקון.

And basically the the the main thing of that is דווקא this book, that that that that it basically holds fantastic lights, which the lights of תוהו, the real lights of תוהו are not even the lights of תוהו really.

The real lights of תוהו are the lights from before the צמצום actually, that the actual light from before the צמצום comes in without a צמצום, and it it breaks everything.

And the whole thing of the whole creation was in order to bring it about to a point where דווקא the lights from before the צמצום will be able to come in, and will actually be able to be held into in the כלים. And this is דווקא in the כלים of תיקון, which the כלים of the basic כלים of תיקון are actually the letters of the תורה. And and the basic thing of the כלים of תיקון is like how the how the תורה

was originally given was that it was like, even though it was very big lights, but it was like like smaller lights were given in very heavy vessels.

So, and that refers basically to the נגלה of תורה, that it's it's הלכה that basically just tells you what to do. And the תורתו של משיח basically is the ענין of that once these כלים got very strong, actually the the original lights will be able to come into it. And this is the whole ענין of the book, you know, like what it explains that the צמצום is not כפשוטו and how the teacher starts teaching the children small things so that finally it'll be teaching the big things.

Right. And that's the whole thing of what he's going to be talking about here, how they change the the כותנות עור from an ע to an א.

אכינא בתורתו של ר' מאיר היה כתוב כותנות אור בא' וכו' כנ''ל, להיות ידוע

דשרש בחינת עתיק מבחינת שם מ''ה דא''ק וכו', וכמו שמבואר במקום אחר שזהו בחינת מלך השמיני, שרש עתיק דמ''ה דחכמה. And this מלך השמיני is basically, even though there's all we we read all kinds of explanations on it, is still basically nonetheless the בינה and תבונה of תוהו, which right now, if you look around in the world, you'll see that we are in the time of the מלך השמיני.

Science as the Modern King (מלך השמיני) 16:11

That the the basic thing right now is basically the age of science.

Right now their god is science. I mean, is is that right, or? Yeah, that's right. The the real god Yeah, the ultimate god is The ultimate god is science, not not even money. Right. The ultimate god, basically, is science.

The ultimate god, even by the יידן already. Right. And even by פרומע יידן, if you cannot

make it agree with science, then it doesn't, you know, Not only that, the the funny thing, you know, I don't know if like even the the thing like, you know, people they they say it's science, and really, even the science, I mean, the the they're not even really following science. It's a messed up science, because like, for instance, you know the thing of the earth going around the sun?

Right. You know, even according to their theory, and even if you don't include the whole universe in it and stuff like that, you know this You know this thing, we we already talked about it, that two bodies really go around each other. Right. It's not a thing that one body is standing still and the other body is moving. It can't It can't be like that. And and this is very easily verifiable in in a lab environment.

And a very simple what do you call it, experiment on it is like, you know, on a wedding, two guys hold hands and spin around. Right. And the basic thing is you see that it's not it's not one guy spinning around the other.

They're both spinning around where their hands are, around the middle. Right. And when there's a heavier body and a lighter body, so it just spins around The heavier body spins around But the but the the they both spin around each other, but the center of gravity moves closer and closer to the heavier body as it gets heavier. Right. So somebody told me, I don't remember who it was, that the actual center of gravity between the earth and the sun

is like a little bit under the surface of the sun. Right. Not the center of the sun. It's so close to the sun that it's a little bit under the surface of the sun. Right. And the same thing with the with the earth and the moon. You can't really say that the moon is going around the earth.

And and we have a perfect proof for it, is the tides. You know, the sea tides prove to you that the moon is also exerting

a a gravitational pull. Right. So you see that even their science, because like most people think that the sun is stationary. Well, they know it's going around the galaxy. Yeah, but in terms of the sun and the earth, they see the sun as stationary. Well, it's a matter of approximation, if the center of gravity is Yeah, but that's but most people don't realize that. They don't realize it.

They see the sun as stationary, but really the sun moves towards the earth as the earth goes In its in its מסלול and the sun goes in its מסלול. Sure. There's a double מסלול, really.

Right. Not only that, like they see the whole solar system as a thing with the sun stationary, it's not really like that because the other the the planets are pulling the sun and they're pulling each other. Right. So it's not really stationary. Not only that, another thing is even even if you if you call it stationary for the for the what do you call it, for the, like you said, for simplification, you know, like how you see like like in the in the models they make the sun with a bunch of things spinning around, they seem to have an exact מסלול.

Right. And it can't be. It can't be because when Mars is on the same side as us, it pulls, the two pull each other and it it it moves it out of its מסלול a little bit. It's it's not a straight מסלול. It can't be a straight מסלול if you think about it. It isn't. Yeah, and not only that, even if you say that the moon is going around the Earth, it's moving the Earth, so the Earth, like for instance, is going really not in a straight line like they say, but, you know, like one of the things that made fun of the old way of looking at it is it said it was like elliptical, yeah, I've seen that, like like a pigtail, like a screw.

You know what I'm talking about? I've seen I've seen I was at one of these libraries, yeah, and they had a book that showed the orbits of the planets according to the Talmud. Right, and it's like like a screw. according to the Aristotelian astrology astronomy and so on. Right, and it's like a screw, right? It's have you seen those those toys where they make all these funny like designs going around and around?

Right. That's what it looks like. It's all it's it's in it's elliptical. Okay, but the thing is that even even according, huh? It's very beautiful designs that it makes. Right. Okay, but like the thing is that you know, the the the what do you call it? The the מסלול, even according to their thing, it can't be straight because the moon is supposedly going around the Earth, so it's got to move the Earth and it's got to go like a screw.

Right. It doesn't go straight, it Now, the only מעלה that of saying that the sun is the center is that that the orbits become more elegant. It's not so much elegant, it's a matter it makes it easier to it makes it easier to to calculate. That's what I mean by elegant, simpler. Yeah, but it doesn't Okay, but like even according to their own theories of relativity, it's לאו דוקא, it depends where you stand.

If you stand on Earth, you can you can do the whole thing as if it's all going round the Earth.

And the real thing is that this doesn't allow for for various other things. In other words, it's sort of like a a simplistic system. I mean, what about the galaxy Andromeda? How does that? That also exerts a pull. What about the stars? The stars exert a pull. Right, the whole galaxy exerts a pull. Everything exerts a pull, and there's a certain center to the galaxy, and that's really in Jerusalem, but that's besides the point.

Well, as far as centers of galaxies, the news, the big news today, astronomically, yeah, was that the center of the galaxy is a big black hole, you know, and they've observed that it basically swallowed up a a star the size of our sun.

Right. They didn't actually swallow it up, it swallowed about half of it. Right, so, but the but the basic thing, that's again, that's only of a of a certain galaxy.

This galaxy. Yeah, but there's more galaxies. Yeah, there's I just saw a picture today

of a whole bunch of galaxies all together. They look like, you know, like a big circle with the jillions of galaxies in it. Right, and you don't know what else is there, so if you There are galaxy clusters. Right, and then they don't even know what's outside. There's stuff that they don't even know, they don't see. Like the מיטעלער רבי says that there's infinite stars, it's that that some of the צדיקים were able to see the the the the stars that are beyond and any kind of visible

telescope or anything like that. There's more stuff out there. Well, not only that, that's not a problem above the heavens. Not only that, they don't know like there could be some kind of a piece of thing there that has a ridiculously big mass that moves the whole center of gravity over very heavily.

You don't really know. Right. You know, but but that's besides the point. I mean, what what is really true and what is really not true, that's not what we're talking about here. The main thing that we're talking about here is that the god right now is the מלך השמיני, science. Right. That is correct. Which science, what science is, That's their big god. that's their god, right? That's the big god, yeah.

That's the big god, the the נמרוד. Right. The the And not only that, their their the the the the second god, money, is also dependent on the first god of science. Right. That's where the big like, you know, Bill Gates and all that stuff, you know. Right, all the Yeah, sure, the money is coming from the from the science. Right, right. And even even the big money that's coming to music and to opera and stuff like that, that's also depends on technology.

Right. That's why, you know, like like like a a little girl like in in the olden days of Shakespeare, the most she could have been is some little traveling singer who would who would get pennies in her hat. Right. You know, and the reason like these people can become so big is because of the technology. Right. You know, so even that depends דוקא on science. If not for science, you couldn't have the Beatles.

Right. Yeah, I mean, I'm not even talking about the fact that that the electric music is also dependent on science, the that big heavy, you know, heavy metal beat. Right. You know, so the secondary god is all also dependent. The primary god is science. And what science is, and we talked about this before, the the real thing that science is, is the scientific method. Anybody who is a real scientist will know that science is is not really a philosophy Right.

Scientific Method as Analysis and Theory Formation 27:15

or even a body of knowledge. It's a methodology. It's a methodology. And what that methodology is, if you look closely at it, it's התבוננות.

Right. Analysis. Taking the thing apart into its particular

pieces that make it up, Right. into into its components. Right. In other words, like the the the matter, they're trying to take matter apart into its components, like atoms, and what the different, like for instance, the atomic table, Right.

you know. And same thing like with psychology or something, they're trying to take the mind apart into its basic components. Right. Same thing the the physiological and biological sciences and stuff like that.

Right. So the basic thing, if you look at it, it's what it is, it's it's it's exactly the It's התבוננות. Basically you you take the thing apart, and then you come up with a סברא. Right.

A סברא means an explanation. You say, "Well, it must be like this." And this סברא they call a theory, Right. a hypothesis or a theory.

And then you take the סברא, exactly like in תלמוד, you say, "Well, okay, so" Let's test it. "so מעות מפוזרות.

You're saying that יאוש מדעת or יאוש לא מדעת, you have your סברא and I have my סברא, a theory. And how does this apply? I mean, over there the axiomatic thing is the משנה.

Right. That it says in the משנה that

Mishna on Scattered Coins 29:39

מעות מפוזרות"
