Learning and practicing from the top down 0:06

Yeah, that's that's how you that's how you practice. First you got to learn everything and then you have to practice going from the top down with like the משל, and then you have to figure out the נמשל, and practice going from the top down with the נמשל. And after you figure out how to go from the top down from the נמשל really well through all the levels,

then you you're supposed to start picking particular things and going tracing them up and back down.

That's the most advanced type of התבוננות, and that's what the רבי does in קונטרס ומעין, that's this חסידות. Does it all.

Of course, that's the first step of התבוננות, that's the first type. There's three types. The first type is just to understand it well in שכל אנושי, the שכל of it.

To get the אלקות in it, which means to figure out the נמשל,

you got to see it in the real, not in like abstract terms of the נמשל, but in actually in the like world in front of you, in front of you.

The first two are abstract. The first first one is in you, which is which is actual understanding, but in a נמשל, but in the משל. And that's something you can actually have a השגת המהות of because it's something you know, because it's you, it's it's the משל. And first you have to make sure you really have that well, and you should have ממש השגת המהות, you should know exactly what it's talking about.

Then you have to find, go, which is really going up the השתלשלות, you have to find the עצם of it, that's like the בינה, and you have to go up and find the חכמה, to pull off the away the shell until you can find the נקודה in it, which is the נמשל, which is the חיות in it, which is in a way the most abstract because that's you only have a השגת המציאות of it.

That's like having אלקות, you only have a השגת המציאות. And then you have to take that and bring it back down to a פרט in the world so you actually see the מהות again.

That's the real point of התבוננות, is that you should see it in the world, in yourself.
