Three Supernal Rulers and Body Systems 0:04

Okay, וביאור הדברים ידוע, the explanation of these matters is known, the idea of the lights and the vessels, על מאמר by on the the the teaching of the זוהר, תלת שליטין לעילא, there are three chiefs above, there are three supernal rulers, leaders, you know? מוחא ולבא וכבדא וכו׳. The mind, the not the mind, the brain, the heart, and the liver, וכו׳. Like in a person's body, the three main, not really organs, but like systems are called like the the brain, the heart, and the liver.

In other words, there's the the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and the digestive system. Those are the three main systems of the body, שהם בחינת ג׳ כלים דנר״ן, which those are the three vessels for the נפש רוח נשמה. Right, so the three levels of the soul that come into consciousness in your body are נפש רוח נשמה, and those go into the vessels, the general vessels of the brain, the heart, and the liver.

Neshama Resides in the Brain 1:16

הנשמה במוחא, the the the נשמה, which is the intellectual part of your soul, goes into your brain. Do I need to explain that? You think with your brain.

והרוח בליבא, the רוח, which is an emotional part of your soul, goes in the heart, because we'll explain for those people that that don't know why the emotions are in the heart, even we'll explain why.

Even, I mean, that's kind of like common knowledge, but on the other hand, scientists like to say that's ridiculous cuz they don't know, they they like to Scientists have their not just scientists, everybody. They the modern men like to make themselves feel good by making ancient cultures seem stupid.

So they take these old ideas and they build them into the most ridiculous construct, and then they laugh at it. You know, it's a very it's a straw man defense. It's really ridiculous what they do. But they never consider that maybe they like meant something more intelligent, you know, than like what they make of it.

So yeah, the emotions are in the heart, והנפש בכבדא וכו׳, and the נפש, which means just like biological life, is in the liver because your liver is what makes you live. It it digests your food for you.

That No, that's what you need. You don't need your brain for biological life. You don't You don't need No. In fact, in medicine there are three vital organs that if a person doesn't if those fail for more than 15 minutes or less, depending which one, the person will die.

Vital Organs: Liver, Heart, and Kidneys 2:49

Those are the liver, the heart, and the kidneys. I think the kidneys are the least vital. I think a person can live 15 minutes without kidneys, and the heart for like 5 minutes or something?

I don't remember how long the liver. But those are the most vital organs. The a person doesn't need a brain to live at all, for physical life.

If you put a person You could put a person on machines, and they don't really need the brain. I mean, in a way they do, but, you know, basically they don't. Very little.

Yeah, you know, that you just need it for consciousness, but that's not just to be like a living thing.

You know, biologically alive. Not to have not consciousness, but like plants are alive, you know? That's what they call him a vegetable. It's even more than a plant still, but, you know, just to be going through the process of life, using energy and expelling waste and whatever, you don't need the brain.

No, because the the main function of life doesn't happen in the heart. It happens in the the liver. The heart is just The main thing of life is using energy, which is digestion.

The heart is just is just to feed, just passes along that energy to the other organs and adds oxygen to it so it can use it, so it can burn it. But it it's, you know, it it helps the digestive system spread the wealth, but the the main function happened in the liver. Also, they can make an artificial heart.

They they can't make an artificial liver. In a way, the liver is the smartest part of your body. The function of the liver is the most is the most complicated is the most complicated organ in that way, like the the function that it does. goes is like, yeah, ridiculously complicated, you know, 'cause you know what your liver does?

Everything that you eat, and everything that goes into your body, like when you drink alcohol, when you smoke a cigarette, if you do drugs, whatever, it doesn't matter, anything, anything goes in your body, you inhale car fumes, anything that goes into your body, that goes into your bloodstream, goes into the liver.

The Liver: Body’s Ultimate Processor 5:22

The liver takes all that stuff apart, and breaks it down into, you know, basic molecules, and atoms, and whatever, and then puts it back together into useful things, and anything that's dangerous, any poisons, it alters it molecularly. It takes it apart so that it's not dangerous anymore, and and and then it it passes it out of your body.

And your liver is so good at that, that's why you can like drink alcohol and use drugs and not die right away. Because those things are poisons, so they should really kill you.

But what your liver does is it is it is it is it takes the poison out of your body. So it takes those things, and it gets, you know, and it it fixes them so they're not dangerous, and it gets it out of your body. The only reason that a person is harmed by those things eventually, especially the liver is harmed eventually, is because sometimes some of it stays behind, like a small, small percentage of it, less than 1% of it, will sometimes stay, and that can damage the liver and the rest of the body.

If there's a lot of it at one time, so it doesn't, yeah, it doesn't function well enough to get rid of all of it.

Also, the liver is like the only organ that can regenerate. So even if the liver is damaged, it will fix itself up, unless a lot of it's damaged.

And it can also function with it can it You can live with only like 25% of the liver, something like that, and it will it will be okay.

So it has to be like seriously damaged to to for to affect a person's life, 'cause it's like such a you know, amazing organ.

But that thing that it does, to be able to take the food and everything, and take it apart and put it back together into like the right amino acids, and the right proteins, and the right sugars, and everything that your body needs, I mean it basically, you know, it it basically builds your body out of from scratch. It takes things apart and puts them back together into what you need.

It's the The liver is the brain of the physical body's operation, yeah. And when it comes to just like scientific like processes, it's it's the most complicated, and it's the most brains going on.

And like the science just, you know, cannot duplicate that at all. It's way to- it's really it's way to- it would be so hard for them to do that, you know, to to take everything apart and put it back together. It would take so It'd be really, really difficult and expensive.

They can't duplicate the brain because it's consciousness, and you need a soul for that. But as far as the just the physical function of it, it's like a computer. They make computers.

It's just a bunch of connect- you know, wires connect- maybe it's a better computer than what they have, but they can, you know, kind of duplicate the physical function of it.

Because we're talking about consciousness, the consciousness is in your brain. But, you know, it's not easy to make a body. Takes a lot of brains to make a body.

Chaya Yechida Beyond Physical Vessels 8:32

These are the organs that are the centers for these different aspects of the soul. אבל בחינת חיה יחידה הוא למעלה מהגבלת הכלים וכולו. But the חיה יחידה does not come into the vessels, they do not have a particular organ center.

The חיה is like the inner will and volition, and all those things that go along with that, and those are, you know, in the whole body equally.

And יחידה is your inner self, which is also in your whole body equally, and it's not, you know, both neither of those are limited to one any particular vessel.

There Yeah, there is a kind of there there are physical vessels that are kind of vessels for the חיה and יחידה, like the the קרומא דאוירא is like a vessel for the חיה, 'cause that's like where the חושים come from, and the liquid is like, it says it's like a is like a vessel for the יחידה, it's true, or like someone just says the skull.

But first of all, those aren't like a vessel in a way that's it's not like really revealed in it, you know what I mean? Like the brain is like set up in a way that it it it makes sense for it to be the vessel for thinking, because it's like a computer.

But, you know, the קרומא דאוירא isn't really set up like that, it's just, so it's not really it's not really a proper vessel, it's just kind of שורה on it, just kind of like is מקיף on it.

Also, those things go over the whole body, those aren't really like a centralized thing, cause it like that like that liquid goes through the whole body, doesn't just stay there over the brain.

Well, even the קרומא דאוירא, it goes, I mean, it goes over the whole brain, and there's also I think such a thing like over the whole spine, and I don't know, there's different, and and I think other parts of the body have similar type of things. There's other, I don't know, could be that that's also not so central.

Yeah, but they definitely do not have, those vessels don't limit it, they just, they just are the vehicles that it's expressed through in the body, but they're not vessels that like that limit it, because it's not it's not in it in a פנימיות way.

We'll explain about that.
