...and you can't see a thousand trees,
you can't see a million trees
cause you can't look at a million trees at the same time
so how do you get reality of a tree when you focus in – oh
this is a forest
but if you see everything else, like the trees are all... you know...
you ever see before you zoom in
What happens? Doesn't look like trees do they?
Right? Doesn't look like trees.
If it's not zoomed in on one
you know, it could look like
a fog....
right?
If you ever want to see this idea
of what focus means.
But then all you see is one tree
what we are trying to do now,
is get that "Or Yashar"
Or Yashar with its infinite restrictions,
which are infinite creations of new universes,
until the ultimate
until the ultimate.
What is the ultimate?
The physical reality.
But, we don;t want to start from the physical reality,
we would like to be sure
that the progression
is the right progression.
Not like someone who has, let's say, multiple sclerosis.
What's the problem with multiple sclerosis?
Everything contained in the body of that individual
is the same as exists all over,
except kind of the wires
are not exactly fitting in place.
Know what I mean?
He wants to eat,
the message comes 'you really mean the bathroom'
you know, there's no cohesion.
The whole picture isn't brought together.
In essence, that's what happens in our mind.
There's multiple sclerosis in the mind.
All the time, that's right.
That's why we get mixed up,
we get frustrated, depressed and the whole bit.
Why? Because we're focused in.
How do you get out of that?
We learned it in Volume 2.
How do you get out of that?
Restriction.
But, that's not enough he's saying.
Volume 3 says that's not enough.
Volume 3 says you've got to know
you've got to establish in your own mind now
that computer, but with all of its parts.
In Volume 2 we established the totality.
Right?
Everything is there before,
restriction - and everything again becomes revealed.
That was the totality of everything.
Keter to Malchut, and back to Keter.
What about the in-between things?
They don't count?
(audience)
Now we're studying the mechanics of it.
That's right.
And by studying the mechanics,
this is the greatest revelation that I learned.
By studying the mechanics
and knowing the mechanics,
you're making the connection.
But what mechanics are we studying?
The mechanics of how to make
the best computer in the world?
Or the mechanics of making THIS the best computer in the world?
Which one are we doing?
We're not going to study computers...
that can't make no decisions for itself!
The only decisions it can make
is to the extent of what?
What ultimately I put in physically!
I write out the program!
Is that right, Shlomo?
Could it get more of what the program is going to tell it?
(audience)
Within the framework...
But the frame that who establishes?
We!
Nothing more!
Now, what happens if I want to step back before that?
Before that, do it all here.
And maybe I don't even need the computer,
because the computer is going to focus for me!
That's what we are going to learn now
and that's what he's saying now:
"But remember...
(Hebrew)
unfortunately,
or fortunately,
because I'm saying fortunately we're removing bread of shame,
which is the purpose.
So we've got to come down to that Malchut,
but understand
that it goes through a series of progression
a very defined method
by which you arrive at Malchut
at the mud at the physical reality level,
but all of that happened long before,
in thought.
Maybe even before thought.
Because the further you....
you know,
maybe it happened
two years ago
when someone told me something
and the thought didn't register.
Does it ever happen?
And two years later - "Huh!"....
It happens not RIGHT HERE
it happens so far back
so the more you encompass,
the more you go back,
how do you go back?
"What do you mean 'go back'?
I'm here now!"
So he's telling you,
if you can establish
these proper ten vessels,
know how they work,
and he goes "why do I have to know how they work?"
"what's it gonna do for me?"
What's it gonna do for me?
Because by knowing how it works
you have already established
and what we consider to be
so far, it seems to be reality
when I say reality, it makes total logic
it takes care of every situation.
Because there have been very few questions
that we have raised
that we couldn't come out
with...maybe it's not a rational answer,
maybe it wasn't so logical,
but it certainly seems to exist that way.
It doesn't contradict everything around us.
In fact, it seems to conform more
to what is around us then anything else,
So why not accept this?
But it's not that we accept it
on a robotic conscious level.
This is what we're learning now
we could be more technical
and you know what happens, like I said on Hanukkah,
here I'm telling people the meditation
you know, we are getting into the יהוה, אדני
I mean, my first tape is beautiful
you know what I mean?
The minute I start getting into the mechanics...
oh, if we can only leave out the mechanics
and we just leave it, you know,
meditate back on the Samech (ס)
and on the Gimel (ג)
all of a sudden I throw out
you know, 72, 43...
you know, I'm getting into the mechanics...
People don't like mechanics.
By nature nobody wants mechanics
that's why we even have computers, who wants the mechanics
you know
everything that can be left to the mind
but the answer is
the mind can only work to the extent of
the mechanics that come out, at the end someone comes out with the mechanics
who comes out with the mechanics
details I'm gonna leave that to the production man, right
...I'm gonna leave that to the mathematician
I'm gonna leave that to the physicist
What are you leaving to them?
You're not going to give them any thought of what you want right
they are just all of a sudden you call in this think tank
and say "fellas, think!"
Is that the way you usually do it?
When you call in a crew to help you in formulating a new thing
How do you do it?
(audience)
You give them the thing you want
Oh you do give them the thing you want before?
Or you tell them to think
So who's giving him the thing?
And what are they gonna think about
Only about what you're giving him to think about
So you don't want the details, right
They're gonna handle the details,
is that what you just said?
How stupid that is
they will only handle to the extent of what they can read of what you want
What do you want
If it's not already all there
in your own mind
what are you transferring to them
that's not clear, that's not organized
that also sounds logical now
in other words
things in the mind, the mechanics have to all be there
so sure, we would rather not have the mechanics
you know details, who likes details nobody likes details
you know, let someone else, you know, do the details of the thing
what's the chief executive officer
of GM, he's going to tighten the screw on the...
gonna take up his time with tightening a screw
but if he didn't have a vision of that
you've got to tighten the screw in an automobile
who's gonna think of tightening the screw in an automobile
that means that someone along the way had to think about tightening the screw
so that's again the illusionary part
you know, want to say
oh (snaps fingers) thought
genius it's all over with
never
never
What happened with Einstein's Theory of Relativity
when he thought about the genius, the idea, what happened
nothing
then the mathematician came in
the detail guys all came in
but did he work with them
or he said go ahead here is a theory I have
and work it out
no
he had to work it out in his own mind
because even if it wasn't worked out in his own mind
they wouldn't know what he wants
So he was the one who was working together with them
to work it out mathematically
maybe he wasn't so good (in) mathematics
so he called in somebody to assist him
But the process all went through his own mind
it's the same thing here
on Hanukkah, what it's all about
Beautiful, wow!
I present a whole new concept of Hanukkah.
It's not more Sufganiyot in Israel,
which means the jelly rolls,
it's no more Christmas trees in America,
it's no more sharing of gifts of Hanukkah,
it's something entirely new.
And I can see why they'll tell me
"Here's a man coming with a new religion",
as some have said.
There's only one problem -
what's the problem?
You gonna still have to light the candles,
you gonna still have to make the....
That's the trouble!
That's the whole trouble!
This man does everything we do!
That's the trouble...
Oh, years ago...
if he would only become a "mechalel Shabbat',
if I only wasn't
a Sabbath observer, everything would have been fine!
No criticism!
But how can he come with these new ideas
and yet, he's still doing everything else that we're doing!
And he looks like a Jew yet, also
(audience)
and these people who wear white on Shabbat
That's right!
That's a new religion already.
For people, that "white business",
you have no idea!
That "white business" on Shabbat,
how disruptive that is,
how distressing that is
(audience)
Everybody in the neighborhood is talking about it.
That's right, you have no idea.
Nothing else is mentioned!
The white!
That already is totally different!
New ideas...
But...how do they pray there?
A little distressing because it conforms
well, in the middle they have thoughts,
they do certain things,
distressing.
You see, everything that...
where it's not conformed on the physical level
it becomes very distressing.
But any event,
we are not doing things
of white because we want to be different.
Neither am I coming out
with the thought of Hanukkah
because, listen - it's true.
I'm coming out with new ideas.
Everybody likes new ideas, right?
wow
new ideas
they're old ideas
Nothing is mine. It's been there
It's in the Ari, in Rabbi Shimon
long before I thought about it
Maybe I'm bringing it more down to a level of Malchut
focusing, restricting it, bringing it down
but nothing is new
that's what we're trying to do
get back to
not the new stuff
you know what I mean by the new stuff
you know, new automobiles
the focusing, right
the industrial revolution
has done what?
One thing that the industrial revolution achieved:
how to reduce man
to reduce man
and we now want to create the opposite
