Hello? Yeah. Yeah, you can go ahead. Then is the fact that the דיבור itself is a מעשה. Not the fact that the that the דיבור is commanding a מעשה, but the fact that the דיבור itself is a מעשה that he does with his mouth.

Speech itself is an action 0:08

ונקרא עשיה בדיבור גם כן, הענין הוא מה שנערך הדיבור לבוא לידי פועל ממש, הפה גומר, לפי שיש דיבור שאינו למעשה עדיין,

כולי. I don't know exactly what he means by this. I think he means that there could be a דיבור that's not talking about that there's no ענין of מעשה in the דיבור, he's not telling anybody to do anything,

like he's thinking some philosophical thing. You know like, וואס וואס טוט זיך אין אצילות? Because there's no מעשה there. Even though you could say, "Well, there is a מעשה. He wants to know what's what they're doing in אצילות. What's the מעשה?" Like they say that's not really a מעשה. So what's the מעשה שבדיבור there? So So So it says even there where there's no מעשה in the דיבור, the the fact that he's moving his lips, that's the מעשה.

That's also a מעשה. זה שאמר ויאמר אלוקים יהי אור היא עשיה בדיבור דוקא. What does he say? He said there should be light in actuality.

ובחינת המעשה שנפעל מזה הדיבור, כמו שנאמר, and then there's the actual מעשה that came out of his דיבור, כמו שנאמר, ויהי אור, וכהאי גוונא כדבר המלך שנעשה מזה הפועל ממש. In other words, the actual פועל that came out of the גזירה of the king, that the king says something, like אחשוורוש said, "Okay, we're going to make a party," and there was a party. They made a party.

King's speech creates a party 2:02

And that's the מעשה that came out of his דיבור. And that's what they say that that like like, for instance, in the in the מגילה, that's what they say. They say that King אחשוורוש made a party. Now, when did he make a party? He didn't make nothing. What, you think that King אחשוורוש went and he cleaned up the whole place with a mop and then

got got all the food ready and all the drinks ready and everything? Nothing. He didn't do nothing. He sat on the throne and said, "Make a party," and we say that King אחשוורוש made a party.

So how did he make a party? Where was the מעשה? What did he do that we say that he he he did he made a party?

So So the the thing that he did is he said. He said it. And from that came the actual מעשה, and you see that there was really a party.

Not only that, it was some party. And if somebody else couldn't have made a party like that even if he would work real hard. And King אחשוורוש, since he was the king, by just saying, "I want a party."

So the same thing like by the אייבערשטער. The אייבערשטער said, "יהי אור," ויהי אור. כדבר המלך שנעשה מזה הפועל ממש, הוא ענין מלכות דמלכות דאצילות. And that, the thing of the actual thing that came out of it, not the thing that he spoke and said what to do, יהי אור, that's מלכות. But the thing that and actually ויהי אור, and there was a light, they made a party, that's called מלכות שבמלכות.

שאין זה רק בבוא שפע האור בבחינת מקור יש מאין ממש, that's only when it comes out in a way of bringing a actual something out of nothing.

והיינו בחינת מלכות דמלכות דאצילות שבקע המסך להיות מקור לבריאה כמו שיתבאר במקום אחר, and this'll be explained later. וגם הוא עדיין בבחינת אצילות דנקרא בחינת עשיה שבמלכות דאצילות, and this also is really still in אצילות, it's really the ענין of מלכות דמלכות before it goes through the the the... מלכות דמלכות doesn't mean that it's after it went through the מסך, there's a מלכות of מלכות before the מסך, there will be that will be בוקע the מסך.

על דרך משל כח הפעולה הנבדלת מכח הפועל, וגם שכח הפועל בחינת כח המעשה הוא, אבל מה שיוצא מכחו בנפעל בחינת מלכות שמלכות הוא כמו שמבואר במקום אחר. You say, how does this apply to the word of the king? You just said

that the מלכות of מלכות was the fact that they actually made a party.

And over here he's saying that the thing that ויהי אור, מלכות of מלכות is the fact that it was after came and was a light, or a רקיע.

And then he said, no, but really it's before it's בוקע the בריאה, so what does it mean that מלכות so how is it מלכות of מלכות if it's still before it went out? In other words, it's really still part of the speech of the king himself, before it's בוקע the מסך. In other words, there's a מלכות of מלכות before the בקיעת המסך and a מלכות of מלכות after the בקיעת המסך.

מלכות of מלכות before the veil breaks 6:15

So the thing of the מלכות of מלכות before the בקיעת המסך is the is the power of the thing which will go into the נפעל. In other words, the power that was in אחשורוש's speech

to make a party like that. In other words, in his speech there was this power of the מלכות, because he was the king. Now, for instance, me, if I would say, hey, let's make a party, we'll make a party, and I want the whole world to come to my party.

Everybody come to Pittsburgh, and I'm going to make a party, and I expect everybody to be in my party. It doesn't mean nothing. There's no מלכות of מלכות, because nobody there's no there's no power to do this. Right.

You know. But, I mean, there's certain things that I do have a power to do. But in my speech there's In other words, so that's the thing of the מלכות of מלכות.

In other words, the thing in יהי אור, ויהי אור is that the ויהי אור is already there before the actual ויהי אור. In other words, the minute that אחשורוש said to make a party, that was the beginning of the party. Right. Of the actual party, because אחשורוש gave the command. Like in in Congress, when when when they pass a law.

Lawmaking as immediate divine action 7:57

So so the minute they pass a law, like let's say it was a king instead of Congress, and he said, okay, from now on, everybody's going to drive on the left side of the street.

So the בקיעת המסך is that now everybody's going to have to run around in his whole country and and and change all the street signs and change everything around.

But the law, the minute he said it,

that was the מלכות of the מלכות already, to go out. That was the thing that's going to go out already. Right. So that's the thing of the מלכות of the מלכות, how it's still part of the מלכות itself before it separates out to its own thing. And then it separates out to its own thing, that it goes out to do this thing as דבר מלך שלטון, to do the thing that he said to do.

Right. So the same thing by the אייבערשטער, the minute that he says יהי אור,

even before the בקיעת המסך, and remember, this is why this is happening right now. It's not the same thing.

In other words, if the מאמר יהי אור would stop,

the the fabric of the universe would disappear. Right. Because it would be the, you know, like what they the scientists say that matter is made out of energy and all that business.

Right. And that's why the first thing he had to say is יהי אור.

Says יהי אור ויהי אור. This thing that he's saying יהי אור, that is actually what's making it that there is this אור that's מצטמצם through the the worlds of בי״ע until it comes and is, you know, the התהוות, or that makes the כלים in our world, until all the way the his התעבות אור, like they tell you, you know, that all this stuff that you see in front of you is coming from this התעבות אור.

Right. You know, like there's atoms and electrons and protons and whatevers, and now they have strings and whatever they want to say, and all of these things are basically concentrations of lights within vessels. Right. And then you say, what do you mean? And what are the vessels made out of? They say, well, the vessels also made out of energy.

The power of the ten utterances 10:22

Right. So, this whole thing is is depends on the מאמר, "יהי אור", that there should be this energy to fuel this whole thing. And this is really this this is really happens before the בריאה in אצילות.

The ten מאמרות, they really happen in אצילות. In other words, the king himself is saying them. And it's the fact that he is saying them that makes them happen. Mhm. In other words, his power is not like אחשורוש's power,

that you see Saddam's power, you know, now Saddam could say whatever he wants, nobody's listening to him. Right. You know, and it's it's really it really comes from the fact that, like, they were scared of him, or something like that, you know?

Right. Or, like Bush, it comes from the fact that they accepted him, they voted for him, whatever. But the אייבערשטער is he comes from himself.

Right. So therefore, his power also comes from himself.

So it's the very fact that he said it, that's what that's what actually brings it into being.

And the thing is, is not like he said it before. That's the thing, you know, what the בעל שם טוב said, "לעולם ה' דברך נצב בשמים". Right. That the מאמר "יהי אור", and all the ten מאמרות, if if if they would stop saying, like if this אייבערשטער would stop saying that there should be plants, all the plants will disappear.

Right. You know? And if he would stop saying that the waters should go off from the earth and the earth should come up, it would go back to being like a עיגול inside of an עיגול.

You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, that the עיגול of the earth was inside inside of the עיגול of the water. And then the אייבערשטער said to take the water off of the earth and show some dry land. Right. Otherwise, it would be an עיגול inside of an עיגול. The same thing like you see that the עיגול of the air is surrounding us.

Right. You know? So, those מאמרות, it's not like, you know, when we say before and after, like he said and now it's like this, it's not. Really, it's not a before and after in terms of time. It's happening ממש right now.

So, again, I mean, it's kind of hard to differentiate. There's a כח הפעולה הנבדלת מכח הפועל. וגם שכח הפועל בחינת כח המעשה הוא. It's also מעשה. That's and that's ענין of מלכות, really.

אבל מה שיצא מכחו בנפעל בחינת מלכות דמלכות הוא. This, in other words, there's a thing that goes out of it into the נפעל. Like you see that there was a there was a כח הפועל, but there was also a thing that that that went out into the נפעל. In other words, there's a כח in the נפעל, that you see that an actual body came into being.

Right. So that, at some point, it had to separate itself out into a כח of the of the actual פעולה itself.

And that's what he's talking about, the difference between מלכות and מלכות דמלכות, that the כח of מלכות really does it does not go through, is not בקיעת המסך. It stays it stays with the king. In other words, the fact that he said it and the fact that he's the king and he has the power of the king, that stays with him.

Right. But you see that something went out from him.

So it went out already it separated into מלכות דמלכות when it was still inside of מלכות of אצילות, when he was saying it. When he was saying it, already the fact that he said it already made it the beginning of the happening. Which the happening is the פעולה. Right. So the minute he said it, that's the beginning of the פעולה. The same thing like we said, at the minute that like the minute the judge decrees, that's the beginning of the sentence.

That's it. Right. In other words, the fact that later on they're going to take this guy and lock him up, it didn't happen right there. It didn't happen right there, he's not locked up yet.

Right. Or they're going to give him forty lashes or something like that. They didn't give him forty lashes, but he's already crying like you know, what are you crying about? Nothing happened. What are you talking about? He said he said the thing. He said it already, means it did happen. Right. It's already in a way of a פעולה. So that's the thing of already מלכות of מלכות.

And that the end of chapter 49. מ״ח, huh? מ״ח there, מ מ מ״ט. Yeah, מ מ״ט, right. We have basically five more chapters, so by next week sometime, either this week or next week, we'll be We'll make a סיום. Ready? Yeah, okay, go ahead. Okay, נ.

Divine letters and their sources 16:39

והנה בפרטות ענין ה׳ גבורות מנצפ״ך בדיבור די׳ מאמרות דאימא עילאה וכו׳, שהן ה׳ מוצאות הפה: א׳ ח׳ ה׳ ע׳ מהגרון, וגיכ״ק מהחיך וכו׳. It's all coming out of ספר יצירה, hold on, I'm looking it up right now. I have it over here. Yeah. The five groups are this: ע׳ ח׳ ה׳ ע׳. ע׳, what what? ע׳ ח׳ א׳ ח׳ ה׳ ע׳. Right, that's what he says here. That's the throat.

Right. ב׳ ו׳ מ׳ פ׳. בומ״ף, right. That's the lips. בומ״ף. Right, נו. And you have נ׳ י׳ כ׳ and ק׳ is the palate. What? נ׳ י׳ כ׳ and ק׳. No, ג׳ י׳ כ׳ and ק׳. That's what he says here. Hold on a minute, maybe it says That's what he says here in the book. Oh, yeah, yeah. This looked like a נ, it's a ג. ג׳ י׳ כ׳ ק׳.

Yeah. גיכ״ק. That's the חיך. גיכ״ק, right. That's the חיך. Right. Then you have ד׳ ט׳ ל׳ נ׳ ת׳. What? Right? ד׳ ט׳ ל׳ נ׳ ת׳. ד׳ ט׳ ד׳ ט׳ ל׳ נ׳ ת׳. ת׳. Right. The tongue. Is the tongue. Okay, and what's the fifth one? The fifth one is ז׳ ש׳ ש׳ ר׳ and צ׳ is the teeth.

So the ר actually comes out of the teeth. ר It's the tongue on the teeth. Okay, let's go on. הרי יש אותיות מיוחדים לכל מוצא בפני עצמו,

והצירופים נמצאים בחיבור והתכללות מזה לזה בכמה ענינים שונים, כמו שנתבאר בספר יצירה, ויקבעם בשם וכו׳,

המליך אות וכו׳. He קובע the letters with a name. In other words, like he tells them like he tells the thing how to spell, it's as if I would tell you how to spell like א׳ ג׳ ד׳ י׳.

How letters are called like a computer 19:14

He calls them by name. He says, okay, now א come up. And when the א comes up, and then he says whichever letters come up, like over here, for instance, if you take the first word of this chapter, I would say, okay, ו come up. Okay, now ו go back and a ה come up. Okay, now the ה go back and the and the נ come up.

And now the נ go back and the ה come up. And this is basically how a computer works. It calls up the letters to come up on the screen. And say, okay, next this letter should come up. And this is basically also how you talk.

Basically, even though you don't realize that this is happening, that's exactly what happening. Your brain calls up a letter to come up.

Even though you're thinking in whole words, you're not thinking of of a letter to come up, but nonetheless, if your brain couldn't do this computer thing of בינה, if it couldn't separate it out into the letters, you wouldn't be able to talk.

And the only way that you can talk is that you have to

the only thing is like you already have it, it's like riding a bicycle. That's why a little baby can't talk so good, even when he knows the words already, because he still hasn't got it the mechanism of calling up the letters, right, to come up.

And then he says, this one go back and this one come up.

Says, המליך אות כו׳. He took this word, he took a letter and made it the king. Means he made it the king of the דיבור.

אז דרך אגב, כי מה׳ אותיות נעשה ק״כ צירופים, which is the ק״כ צירופים of the שם אלקים, כו׳, והן על ידי בחינת ה׳ גבורות המפרידות הבל הדיבור.

That's through the the ה׳ גבורות, which is the מוצאות הפה, which separates, that's how you talk.

You talk, you have a הבל הדיבור, which in other words, you have to make a ah, I don't know if you ever saw, some there's sometimes people who lost their voice box. Right. And they have this funny little thing that they put on their throat.

Right.
