Q#1

SPEAKER_00 0:04

I cannot expect that the words give life. I can understand that. Because I'm not questioning that it exists word. But when we say matter, do we say everything uh no? Everything is matter and mention is included in that matter, or there is matter and matters.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

Well, we haven't discussed I try to stay away from questions that do not reflect the material we discuss because there might be some people here who don't know what nephish means or even what's I'd have to I'd have to ask.

SPEAKER_03 0:45

My mother used to use it. And just say, is soul matter? Oh no, just matter. It's not the soul.

SPEAKER_02 0:59

If you're looking for as accurate uh a definition, you would say it is the soul. So it's soul. Now there are I I would prefer you left that for reincarnation, but not believing you without an answer at all, which I'm really gonna say. There are souls and there are souls. There are those souls, as the Zohar says, who are contained in the pure vessel. And then there are those souls who are contained in the system of the unclean vessel. That means there are a soul that comes from the proper place, and I don't want to get into that, indicates a vessel, because soul doesn't does not mean the energy. Our souls merely express the ultimate reality, which is the force of the Lord. Okay? Soul means an expression, we all express the same force of God. We are Caleb ilokai meal, as the expression is in the Talmud and in the Zohar. We all are part of God. We are part of God, meaning the soul within us is a vessel. It makes manifest in a unique way, because each soul is unique and particular, expresses that force of the soul in its own particular way. That if the soul is an energy intelligence of a desire to receive on the sake of charity, it is then a soul of the clean power. It is a soul that emanates from the angel. That is the tower, that is the other side, physical. We have so many names for it.

SPEAKER_03 3:18

But is the soul matter then?

SPEAKER_02 3:19

What's that?

SPEAKER_03 3:20

But no, it's not matter.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

No, without the vessel, with the vessel is the matter, without it, there's no matter the only thing that is matter or physical, the body, and only those aspects that are represented by an energy intelligence of the desire to receive all oneself alone. That is definition capitalistically of matter.

Q#2

SPEAKER_01 3:55

And the Kabbalah is always as wide and wide and wide. And forever to elevate ourselves, we must understand the energy of every word. Like when we said when you go to show and you pray, and even if you understand you're really not connected, it's possible that you are not that you are not connected. How do you expect us laymen when we go to shoulder to try or to connect if we can connect? How do we achieve that uh that connection?

SPEAKER_02 4:35

Well, I I just provided you with the uh the blessed information that the entire writings of Rabbi Azakloria, which provides us with the gates of meditation, it's in Hebrew, meanwhile. For anyone who can now read Hebrew, to now know what there is to meditate at each particular place. That meditation is the electrical current. You know, you can have a system of communication, but if it doesn't have the zon, if it doesn't have the current going through, you know, if your wires are dead, you can still have a system connecting every part of this world. That doesn't mean it's operative, it's not functional. It doesn't have that life is not there, the current was not there. The same is true, says Rabbi Azaguria, of prayer. This provides that energy intelligence into you. It is the Zim, it is the term the letters are merely the transfer agent, the channel, the cable. They're available now. But at least we made a good cigar. At the time it wasn't available, it was just the select theory. And as Rabbi Moses Cordeviro said, in his in the beginning of his book called Or Nearab. I think it's appropriate that we can mention it, that for those rabbis who will ever raise a voice against the study of Kabbalah, Kabolasses, we will receive the first ticket, the first katis, we say in Hebrew, to hell. Now he lived 400 years ago, and so I would have to recognize uh Rabbi Moses Cordovero as an authority far and above and beyond any major rabbi today who would dare to prohibit or prevent Helena from looking for a little more meaningful expression in his life.

SPEAKER_01 7:03

Are you saying that we're a dovany or almost nothing?

SPEAKER_02 7:07

That's hard for me to say. But we'll touch on it's hard for me to say that. But where's my friend who is always asking for demonstrations of validity?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

Now you know I had a comment and it might be uh it might be relevant as you said. There was an article in the comments on Tuesday about uh scientists who've done heretofore they thought that with the absence of indetectable brain uh wave plan, any brain uh activity, someone who's better is that. But now they found that they did experiments with rats where there was a complete absence of any harloting brain activity and they were able to revive them and bring them back to life. So I don't know what that says about always being uh finding death in a physical or life in a physical activity.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

I guess but the point I wanted to make is the proof is usually in the pudding. Maybe when it comes to religion, it doesn't have to be that way. Because I I always ask the Israeli, every other Israelis say, so what's gonna be after all these problems? What is the answer? Yeah, Tom, it's gonna be good. And I always marveled at that response because I said, Al Smachma, on what basis is it ever gonna be good? 2,000 years of persecution, suffering, no end in sight. You say it's gonna be good. Can you imagine a corporation operating with a deficit for 2,000 years, and then the president gets up at a board meeting and says it's what next year is going to be good? Aren't we doing the same thing? So the prayers maybe haven't held. Maybe that's the reason. Maybe we don't know. Maybe we're doing something that is incomplete. Maybe. But the proof of the pudding is there has been no change in 2,000 years with all of our prayers and all of our studies. Something's missing. That's all I'm saying. Something is missing. Yes.

Q#3

SPEAKER_02 9:25

Um when you use the word knowledge, could you substitute in the experience? Are you saying that the connection and dividing? Where does the experience high meaning? You see the Hebrew word. Are you familiar with Hebrew? I just wanted to read the one answer to touch. Okay. See, Hebrew is such an accurate system, it's incredible. The Israeli only knew the treasury and I guess he may be thinking along different lines. The word Nisayom is the Hebrew word for experience. The root of that word is nest. The corrupt interpretation is miracle. Miracle. But that is not the true meaning of the word mess. Because if you also ask the Israeli, give me another definition of ness, and what will he say? Running. Running. How does running compare with miracle? And how does running compare to experience? See, we we have we don't even know what experience means. Because we can spend about a day on experience. So let me just say that information, knowledge, is that which you have connected with. It is now you. You see, because I can lecture it here, aside from the fact that there are 40 individuals seated in this room, and each one is going to understand somewhat slightly different what has been said from his neighbor. Other than that, there are some that will not connect or the internal meaning of what's been said here. There will be different levels of understanding of the same thing, same words. Because words, even in English, transfer an energy intelligence. We know there are different levels within that energy intelligence. It's no different than when the current speaks to the refrigerator and to the 5-watt bulb and asks each one, how much do you need? And the refrigerator says, I need an awful lot of current. And the 5-watt bulb says, just give me a little bit. It's the same energy, isn't it? What happens? They're talking to each other. But when you say the cosmic connection of the divine knowledge, the Hebrew word that the Hebrew word that you're trampling on the English is there is an associate, there is not an association with the spirit. That's right, not at all. And what's the Hebrew word that the fact the Saiyun means something entirely different? It it car it corresponds to that route of its originess, meaning not miracle, but meaning running. What does running mean? Now I see Louis translation, but means continuum. Or leaving one domain for another, one level of consciousness to another. That's really what okay. I we've had that's over. I I'd I'd rather you get a little more of this one.
