Series: Be'erot, Love & Relationship with God.   Synopsis:  Avraham's anavah is reflected in chesed, the path of love is knowing the unity.   Episode Transcript:   We began to explore last time an aspect of Avraham that is revealed when he speaks to G-d the first time. When he speaks to G-d at the moment when he is told that Sodom and Amora are going to be destroyed and he says, Anochi afar v'efer. From there, the Rabbis teach us that Avraham Avinu's great midah, his root trait, is anavah. Of course, in the revealed aspect of Avraham, he lives a life as the midah of chesed, and he becomes the expression par excellence of love of G-d. What we are looking at is his origin of love of G-d in this expression of his, which is his words to Hakadosh Baruch Hu which reveal a pnimi aspect of him, which is anochi afar v'efer, which is he is an anav. What I want to continue to explore is how that midah becomes reflected in the chesed of Avraham, and particularly in the way his path to love is one of knowing the unity as opposed to what we came to know of the path to love of David, which is a path to love by the joy of life. Because, for David, it was the effervescent and bubbling flow of the spring of life in its creativity and access to newness and to the excited realities that happen when that flow flows into the world. So his love of G-d came from that, as we saw in his love of G-d through his dancing. And he said about himself that he was a person of shiflut when he speaks to Michal. That aspect of love, which is David, I think is different than the aspect of love which is Avraham's. And that's what I want to talk about. In a sense, they are two paths that are different from each other. Because Avraham is the very beginning and David is the very end. Both of them are lovers of G-d at a different origin. We have seen so much along the way of how Yitzchak is the one who comes to love G-d by virtue of realizing the specific in the context of G-d's withdrawal and making space for. And Yaakov is the one who comes to love of G-d in the connection of him through the organismic unity of things in which all of the particulars and specifics are present, but there is a flow of life through them, as he loves his own life, loves that life which is the life of the world. The aspect of love which becomes reflected when G-d says, V'ahavta et Hashem Elokecha, when Moshe speaks and says, You shall love G-d, ki hu chayecha, for He is your life. That was the revelation of Yaakov. Then we followed through with Yisrael in the revelation of personhood and specific connection as the child of G-d and as the one who G-d has invested in, coming to his specific and particular revelation, and all of that then came to be revealed through David, in his ability to accept and live and create from whatever circumstance G-d sends his way. It's all a creative opportunity for expressing more life, more goodness, more presence of G-d, doesn't matter if it's negative or positive, whether it's suffering or it's a celebration. And to a very great extent, especially seeing in this day, which is the yartzeit of the death of Moshe Rabbeinu, so we are called to move to that midah which is becase of that declaration that Haman [imak sh'mo] made, which was since the goral fell out on Adar, for sure it's a good sign for him, because that's the month that Moshe died, but what he didn't know is that Jews raise a l'haim on a yartzeit, whatever G-d sends our way, besides getting into the soul's enlightenment on the day of the death, but just we take what G-d sends us in joyousness and that is the aspect of David, which comes at the end and which allows a new beginning that comes out of that end, the end, the malchut, is the beginning, the keter of the next world. And that's the way it is in all of life's experience. Whenever it seems like the end, and it's over, and it's suffering, and it's finished, actually become the birthing point for what is next, and what is the new realization and creative opportunity that G-d is sending us and that has to do with being attached to the maayan mitgaber, but when one passes through that gate and arrives at the place of simple and tamim, innocent acceptance and it's one thing to be actively involved in the creative movement, and it's another to be in simple acceptance. Because simple acceptance, as opposed to the act of creativity, moves one back into the reality of anavah, as we are going to see, and then the whole process begins again, because anavah is the word which is a characteristics that is representative of keter, the ability to be v'matel to be in abnegation before. And in that abnegation, to be in contact with all. It's very crucial to recognize that we're used to anavah having to do with how a person behaves, and saying that everything I have comes from G-d. But the truth of anavah is that it has to do with the ability to strip away all of the accoutrements and the small definitions of what my reality is and to simply be real and present to what my reality is. And that's why anavah, a word which has another expression of it, and that is of the ani, of being impoverished. And the reason for that is, the aniyut, being impoverished, in this world, in the physical world, is a negative reality, got no money, clothes, food, down in the dumps, is shockingly the highest madrega because the highest madrega is to be stripped into complete pshitut of reality in its greatest simplicity. Before all forms are. That level of unity is a level that Avraham Avinu accessed, and therefore was able to say about himself anochi afar v'efer, and that must be the starting point. A person who doesn't have the acceptance of that must always be caught up in the egoic forms and specifics and constantly be battling for his survival when those forms and specifics become threatened or challenged. So if someone doesn't honor you the way like to be honored, or if someone doesn't call you by your right name or title, so you get all bristly, because you're trying to protect these forms which, if you dig deep down enough, you consider to be your life. If they don't call me Rabbi, then they won't repect me. And if they don't respect me, then they won't listen to me, then (pretending to cry) I won't be able to be creative anymore. Then, if I were real about it, I would totally lose my composure and pretend, but if they wouldn't listen to me, then I wouldn't be creative, and if I wouldn't be creative anymore, then what would I be living for? I'd be dead! Those are voices of the egoic mind which have taken grasp in a way in which the only way we hold onto our sense of reality and presence is by holding onto these forms. That is the speaking of the nefesh behamit, which tells you—the animal soul, which tells you—you're a dead man if you lose all of those appellations, definitions, and names that you've been given. And as long as you are attached to that as that from which you live, then you can never be an anavah, one who truly embraces all of reality along with you on one equal level, whether it be a highly acclaimed Nobel Prize Laureate, or the lowest guy in the street who is a drunkard lying on the road. And only an anav is able to walk up to both of them with the same demeanor of, Here is existence, here is life that I am a part of, that I'm connected to. It's not something that I need to measure myself against, or establish myself as oppose to, or be concerned lest I become too much associated with, that I might lose the standing I have gained or achieved. That must be the starting point for any kind of a life now going to be able to live in unity with reality as it is and to get down to the point when David arrives. Without this as the starting point, so it's all a secondary kind of a battle, I accept it, I judge it, I take it or leave it, depending on whether it serves my false sense of what gives me life and reality.                 I was talking to someone who is in a conflict with his in-laws. So he's telling me that the conflict is supposedly religious issues. The in-laws are not religious, he is religious, they don't like the fact that he is religious, and they keep trying to compromise on his principles about whether they can drive the grandchildren around on Shabbat, take them to the beach, can they eat by them, so it's constantly an ongoing thing. And he feels himself being chipped away, compromise after compromise, what should he do? So I'm listening to him, he wants a piece of advice. What should he do? How much should he compromise, how much shouuld he hold onto? What should he do? So I'm listening to him telling me, They get angry and cold to me, and I know that they're angry at me, and I can't stand that they're angry at me, and I can't live with this, the way they're acting towards me. They have to stop doing that. They have to drop being so negative towards me, and I can't stand it. As I'm listening to him, of course, what's of greatest interest to me is not, of course, the great piece of advice that I'm going to or not give him, but his experience of his reality. About his in-laws being angry at him, and being cold towards him. He can't stand that. He can't live with that. I want to tell you, that as soon as you hear someone say something like that, so that's the place to visit with them. That's the place to visit. Were I to give him any advice, compromise on this, be strong on that, stand up on that, it won't make any difference because those people are in his life in order to bring up his nefesh behemit which is telling him, I can't live when people are angry with me, I can't live when people aren't happy with me or when people don't approve of me. As long as that is sitting there, whetever he will give in on, provide them with, ora attempt to appease them about, is sure to fail because they're being in his life for now to bring him into a clarity of, what is his life? What is his truth? Only when he is liberated from his belief of "I can only live when they approve of me" will he be able to offer them something from a place of truth within himself that they will indeed be able to live. And they will, and I'm one hundred per cent sure that when he gets to that clarity, then that kind of nagging, nawing behavior will end on that part. Because it's his clarity that is required on his part, and it is a matter of anavah. It's a matter of his accessing the truth of his being as, first of all, that which they and no one can take away from him. And his most primal and primary commitment to existence in life is, that when he touches that, so that all of the approval or disapproval, all of the anger or not anger will not be experienced in a way that if you keep moving down the ladder of, and if this happens, then, and if this happens, then, and if this happens, then, etc. I'm a dead man. The only way to undo that is either to look at the falsehood of it, and that's crucial, to look at the falsehoods of all those things, no, of course, not. As soon as he steps out of his egoic mind. But that won't be enough until he also—it's not so much surrender as it is join reality, as it is in its primary level of simple being. First of all I am a soul, divine, at one with life, at one with all of life, with all that is, everything else is secondary. That's the place of anavah and all creative activity begins from there, and if it doesn't, then it becomes driven, false, egotistical. That's why it's so important to me to begin to this midah and return to this midah. And it is this midah that Avraham Avinu holds as we saw from the Zohar, which is also called ever mah, the limb of what, the ability to stand in whatness. Coach mah, chochmah, the power of the what, which is pointed to the keter, which is pointed towards the crown, which stands at the juncture between nothingness and something. And is always cognizant of the transition into something from nothing in its most mysterious and wondrous aspect so it never becomes attached because it's always at the place between nothing and something. So this being of Avraham, very beautifully is manifested in the holdiay which is the holiday of Avraham. What I mean is each of the holidays has an aspect that it is a teaching of. And a forefather that it is a manifestation of. Sukkot is easy. Yaakov is the only one who lived in a place called Sukkot. Yitzchak, who is the man of gevurah and of the relationship of differentiation is knegged Shavuot, when we take our oath, at the end of the weeks, to be forever betrothed to G-d, forever married to Him, standing outside of Him, as the one who is commanded by the commander. That is Shavuot, Yitzchak, and in fact, the shofar that is heard there is the shoar of the ram of akeidha. Pesach is Avraham, and in fact, he is the only who mentions what is the primary manifestation of Pesach, which is matzah. When the angels come, he tells Sarah, go knead and make matzot. The Rabbis say, do you know why that was? Because when the angels came, when he was going to speak Anochi afar v'efer, it was Pesach. Because Avraham is that holiday, and for a simple reason. It is the pure beginning. Just as it is the pure beginning of us as a people, it is the pure beginning of us as a people through Avraham. It's what he is, and in fact, even specifically in Pesach, the specific feature of Pesach, which is his, is the matzah. Maror is the bitteness and gevurah and judgements of the living of the separateness which is Yitzchak. The lamb, the seh tamim which has to be brought, the simple lamb is Yaakov, who is a she psurah, it says about him Yisrael, always that's one of the representations, as opposed to Esav, who is coming to wolf him down, and the matzah is Avraham. And it's so perfect and beautiful, because matzah is called lechem oni, the impoverished bread, which despite all of the different interpreations I'm sure you've heard, its most simple reading is that it's the most simple, undressed and most primal bread, lechem oni. Any additive you add to matzah, whether it be oil, eggs, sugar, which is not the most basic being of bread, flour and water. Flour and water is all it takes to hold it together. Anything you add to that, it's no longer matzah. And in fact, in rabbinic Hebrew, matzah is simply another word for any unadulterated purity as used in various contexts having to do with hide that is used for right sifrei Torah, that it be "matzah." That is, that it has to be unadulterated, and there's gematriot around that. But the point is an unadulterated reality, and that is, indeed, the root of liberation. Liberation doesn't come when you add on the riches and wealth that you accumulate. You may be, so to speak, freer to do what you want to do in this world. To buy the things you want to buy, to go to the places you want to go to, to see the things you want to see. So it does acquire for you in this world of forms, the ability to acquire things. But obviously, and you all know, that the real liberty, the real freedom, cheirut, belongs to those who are identified with one thing and one thing only and that is life, being and the goodness of it in its utter simplicity. The amazing thing is that Pharoah, in seeking to destroy us, when he saw how much we were reproducing, attempted to destroy us by taking away from us the accoutrements of life, so to speak, by which I mean, he tried in taking away the men and killing the men, was seeking to kill off identity as it becomes revealed through names. At the beginning of the book of names is very painstakingly careful, after it lists the sons of Yaakov, to not list anyone's name. People are all anonymous. Even people who are mentioned, like Shifra and Puah, those aren't their names. They have other names. Those are actually words of what they would try to do. They would go, pu, pu, pu to the baby. And Shifra would be the one who would hold the baby and massage the baby into being a beautiful baby. But it was really Yocheved and Miriam, not their names. Even when the parents of Moshe get married, they do it anonymously. The man from the house of Levi goes and takes a daughter of Levi. The point is, the whole beginning there is the stripping down of names, and it becomes a nameless reality. Men are in names. That's why a married woman generally takes on her husband's name. Whether we like it or not, that's the way it works. The Chumash, for sure, the names come down through the men. The familial, because the male aspect of things is a kind of identity that comes through the specific. And he thinks that what he is going to do is to enslave them by getting rid of the men But the pasuk says the most amazing thing, it says, Kaasher yaanu oto. Kain yirbe, vkein yifrotz (34:18) The more he made them ani, literally it means the more he made them suffer, but literally it means the more he made them ani, so the more they became fruitful and multiplied. The darn thing didn't work. And the reason is because what he was doing was unwittingly actually bringing forth in the Jewish people their primal beginning, which is the at one-ness with life and their commitment to it. That's all. So the more he made them ani, the more he was creating the lechem oni, which would be their root to redemption.  The more he stripped away their specific identity, so the more he put them in contact with their ultimate and final humility. And as they rested in that, so there was no destroying them. He unwittingly liberated them by doing that which, in his thinking, would be that which would destroy them. This is what the Rabbis mean when they say that the women, the Tzidkaniot, were the source of the redemption. Because they would go out to their husbands in the field, and their husbands who were completely despairing of life, because what's the good of bringing life if it's just going to be destroyed and not go anywhere? Well, just have some of this fish, well they just drop their eggs and it goes where it goes. Just be fruitful and multiply, the ones who were created with blessing, the first blessing, to be fruitful and multiply. Simple. Just life, being. And Moshe is born out of that. That's the reality that produces Moshe, about whom it says that he was good. And the Rabbis said, oh, we've been there. That's the first light that He saw, and it was good. Just be. That's Moshe. He would be the one who manifests the true anavah which is his primary trait. He is the anav mi kol adam, the lechem oni, which came from the very man who was m'aneh otam, who impoverished them, stripped them down to their more basic being. That's what we're eating when we're eating the matzah. That's why it's the bread of liberation. Because it's the bread of impoverishment, the bread of that most primal beginning. It's like eating the light.                 There's a price you pay to stay there, and Moshe Rabbeinu pays a price. He gains the greatest access to what being is as it begins because it holds there so then he can see the forms that are created through G-d's will as they are realized in the worlds and knows the patterns and the right living that will most reflect the true patterns of life because he stands from that perspective and comes down from there. As the Arizal teaches, he is the yesod chochmah, he is the conduit who brings the wisdom, in the deep sense of wisdom that we spoke of; he knows the what-ness, as he declares, anachnu mah, down into the world. But he also pays a price in that, in that he can't really hold a marriage. He doesn't stay married, because he stays devoid of those particaulr forms. It's a painful price. But it's the one when the Rambam says is paid when G-d tells Moshe when he comes down from the mountain, Tell the people to go back to their tents. And Moshe Rabbeinu says, in the midrash, the Rambam brings it down, And me? Do I go back to the tent? And G-d says, Lo, atah poh imadi. No, you stay standing here with Me. And at that point he is no longer able to return to the tent which is the particulars and specific forms withon which people live. Each one of us in our own tent of reality as it's defined and bounded. But that great revelation, which he brought us, which comes from there and is brought down into the creation of Torah, came from the beginning of Pesach. And only from there can the Jewish people begin its travels. And only from there can we every year return to that reality which is the reality of perfect anavah of Avraham. Like we spoke last week, the pleasure of that place, it's hard to shake. The resting in that. And the task of moving beyond that and moving out into realization and specificity means, on a certain level, either giving up the oneg, which is the depiction of the feeling that's associated with that, passing that up or somehow knowing the path to carry that with into all the aspects of life that I'm living. Simcha, at the other end of the spectrum, which is where David, not Avraham, is, is exhuberant joyousness,  that's very much in life, that's David dancing up a storm, embodied completely in the bringing of the aron to the Beit Hamikdash, that G-d would be embodied, ki v'ychol, in this place in Jerusalem. But oneg is a very delicate bliss, a pleasure of just being in contact with the all. It's very dear and crucial, and produces as a root, all the other good midot, traits, that are lived from there. And so they almost begin from Avraham's anavah.                 And then, what this allows for, what happens most beautifully by virtue of that pleasure with Him is a great loving of the one who is Himself that ground of being. And this is the truth of Avraham ohavi, Avraham my lover, Avraham who is in his primary consciousness and primary being at one with that. It's at a certain level, it's reflected in a midrash which is told about Moshe, which, the Talmud says about Moshe, who is in a certain aspect a counterpart of Avraham, and kabbalistically so, if you know the midot, so you know that on the right side, Avraham's side, is chochmah, and beneath it is chesed, and beneath it is netzach. And Moshe comes out of chochmah and is ultimately revealed in netzach. He belongs to that right side, the side of the greatest expansiveness, in the touching of it all, in the non-specificity of a particular identity. The great bliss of that. The great liberating bliss which is that. So Moshe reflects this in a beautiful description which gives a picture of him. It's a story told by Rebbe Yehoshua Ben Levi, a master of Aggadah. B'sha'ah she yarad moshe m'lifnei hakadosh baruch hu. When Moshe went down from before G-d, so the Satan came and said before G-d, Ribbono shel Olam, where did the Torah go? Where's the Torah. So, G-d syas, well, I gave it to the earth. So he went to the earth and said, Where's Torah? So the earth of course said, Well, Only G-d knows. Elohim hevin darkah. So he went to the waters and the waters said, It is not with me. So he went to the depths. She said, It's not in me. As it says, Tehom amar lo bi hi. Ki yam amar eyn imadi. So he continues and he goes to avadom and mavet. He goes to desolation, nothingness and death. They say, listen carefully, Ozneinu shamanu shimah. We heard about it. As if he's getting closer. Chaza v'amar lifnei Hakadosh baruch hu, so he went back to G-d and he said, Ribbono shel Olam, I've sought everywhere in all the land and I did not find it. So G-d says, Go to ben amram. That's Moshe. Halach etzel Moshe. Amar lo: Torah she natan hakadosh baruch hu, the Torah that G-d gave you, where is it? Amar lo, B'chi ma ani, she natan li ha kadosh baruch hu ha torah. What am I that G-d should give me Torah? It's a beautiful double meaning. What am I that G-d should give me Torah. Of course, the Satan understood that as what am I that G-d should give me Torah? But it also is likely, I believe, that Rebbe Yehoshua may be saying, it's also a statement. What am I that G-d should give me Torah—as he declares about himself. And this is why, by the way, avadon and mavat had heard about her. Yam hadn't, yabashah hadn't, tehom hadn't, but avadom? Avadom knows Torah, because the depth of Torah is expression of being as it is. And it is, at its root, the desolation of non-specificity. It's death. So death knows Torah, because it's prior to the forms in its origin. So she's heard about it. So then he goes to Moshe and he says, Mah ani, that Torah should be given to me. So Satan, who doesn't know about mah, who stands in the opposite end of the spectrum of the yetzer harah, that insists on particular forms as ultimate expression and ultimate being, doesn't really get what Moshe's saying, and so he goes back to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, so amar lo hakadosh baruch hu, I mean, the story isn't told that he goes back to Hakadosh Baruch Hu; Hakadosh Baruch Hu immediately responds to this. Amar lo hakadosh baruch hu l'moshe: Moshe. Badai atah. Moshe, you're a prankster. Meaning, you're like a faker. Amar l'fanav, ribono shel olam, chamud u'gnuza yesh lecha. Please, You have the most darling hidden beauty that is with You, she atah mishtasheah bchol yom. That you play with, take pleasure in every day in a sha'ashua, in a child-like playing. Meaning that it's not purposefully-oriented, it's just the pleasure of it. Ani achzik tovah l'atzmi? I'm going to take the tov, that good, as if It's mine, as if it's by me? It's not by me, it's in pleasure, in the underlying primal being which is pleasure. How would I say that is something own and (sic) (52:57) by me when the Satan came to me it was exactly right but the beauty of it was that he was joking. He made like a game out of it. But that's exactly the consciousness, the game, the play. Amar lo hakadosh baruch hu l'moshe: hoilu ata ta latzmecha, Because you made yourself small, Tikareh et shimcha, It's going to be called by your name. And so all of the prohecies that were ever given that end in Malachi, chapter three, end in Zichru Torat Moshe avdi. Remember the Torah of Moshe my servant, it's called by his name. But it's only called by his name because he gave up his name. You can only be called by the name of one whose very name simply means that he was pulled out of the waters. He was pulled out of the simplest, and the most undefined and unformed realness which becomes manifest in this wrold in the waters. That's Moshe.                 But Moshe is the same reality where the expressed and manifest reality which Avraham began as the ever mah. And so, when he's told by the Satan, I heard it's by you, he said, bchi mah ani she yiten li Torah. It's that particular aspect of Avraham which becomes revealed to him through his anavah, which is actually the root of his ability to be the one who would conduit (sic) this most primal impriture of what reality is into life as he does.                 So Avraham's so-to-speak preparation for being able to say Anochi afar v'efer was in telling Sarah, Quick, make up some matzot. It's the time of matzot, it's the time of being in the simple being, and from there to derive the commitment to life, which is the life of Avraham and the love of all, which is what the love of G-d from that reality is. Because you can't love G-d without loving all. How would you love G-d without loving all, if your consciousness is not of a G-d who is other, but rather one within Whom you are and all is not only embedded, but is actually simply the formation into forms of. There would be no possible way that the distinction would happen such that you would then distinguish between lowly people and highly (sic) people, between people of status in stature and name, and those who were down in the dumps, and even though, of course, we're called upon coming into this world, being here and relating to and dealing with and living out all that life gives us in all of its different aspects—the will of G-d is such that we should live all of that. When we are able to continue drawing from that reality of mah, then all of the worlds that then unfold from there, become worlds rooted in pleasure, shaashua, rooted in the enjoyment of the playing with, that is G-d's pleasure in Torah, and then become the life that Avraham expresses which is a life of love of all and of life itself.                 If I could share a beautiful juxtaposition of two mishnayot in the fourth chapter I mentioned last time. One is Rebbe Yaditas, ish Yavneh, who says, in Misha four, Meod meod havesh fal ruach. Be of a very lowly and humbly spirit, She tikra enosh rimah.  And we described last time how the Rambam actually gave us a picture of a man who urinated on him. And the reason for that is not chas v'shalom because we Jews love denigration for the suffering that it brings. But because that denigration put him in contact with what it is to be stripped of all the appelations, to return to just being matzah. That's what the depth of anavah is. So meod meod havesh fal ruach. But this mishnah follows another one which is that one which says, Al tihi baz l'chol adam v'al timaflid lchol davar, Never despise any human being and never push away any object. She ein lecha adam she ein lo sha'ah. For there is no man who doesn't have his hour. V'ein davar she ein lo hamakom. And there is no thing which does not have its place. And in a sense this is an instruction for a path. And it's really true, and I'm going to say it in it's most simplest way. There is no human being who doesn't have his moment, because there is nothing in this world whose manifest reality is not a manifestation of reality. So there is no one who will not have a moment in which he is fully realized. To push anyone away and to despise anyone is to despise that truth of his rootedness in being. But there is something else which speaks very strongly to me and I know it to be true: There is no  person who, if you don't give him an hour, will not become someone who you're not baz. Their real hour, not an hour in which he is arguing egoically. But to spend time with a person and to uncover their deepest aspirations, to give him a focus, and the time, in shiflut ruach, from yourself. There is no person who, in that hour, will not show you something of the beauty of the being that speaks through them.  Of course, there are some bad people out there; some of them take more than an hour, or at least you need to know how, but in a loving an shafel way, in this shiflus and anavah, so then it will bring out the level of the beauty and perfection of being that rests in them too. And so these two mishnayot come together beautifully, because lest you think that Meod meod havesh fal ruach means ignore the forms, forget about them they don't matter, then let me tell you something: Never despise a person, because he has surely his moment, his special reflection and special revelation. Having one will not allow you to let go of the other. But as we've seen, that's farther down the line. But the starting point has to be in that kind of a unity, which is the consciousness of Avraham, then all of the particular forms which derive from that come with all of the beauty and glory which they deserve with the honor and the reverence which they arouse which are the midot that come after that, the reverence being Yitzchak, and the beauty being Yaakov, which is what makes things beautiful when you see how all of being becomes reflected and expressed through this particaulr part of the organismic whole. And then finally the glory of each human being which is in their reflection of their joyous expression and their creativity which is their gift that we're all invited to express and live and take, which is David through Yehudah and Leah.                 You know, Avraham sent his gifts to the east. On a certain level, I understand why they took them.   The Brahmans, the reflection of Avraham, it's the nirvanic consciousness of a pure being. But you know what Rashi says about them? He gave them names of impurity, shemot tum'ah. That's what it is for us, to be rooted there is the root of life. But to stay there is the nail of death. Avraham without Yitzcahk, without yirah, becomes the avadon and the mavet, I've heard about the Torah, but I've never lived its embodied life. It's in the experience of G-d's turning to make space, that there should be other. It's in the contacting G-d's own, so to speak, al korch'cha atah chai. By force you shall live, that His will that there should be an other at the beginning of a real life of love of other is made possible. We'll stop here (and just stay here for a few hours, too!)                 (If the brothers in the east, their connection is through Avraham without fear of Hashem. Why is fear of Hashem necessary, because they live well, all of those Eastern philophies, I used to be very interested in those; you do create life, you can get married, have children, you can have amazing moments of fulfillment, you can do service for others.) I don't know a lot about Eastern religions or practices. I just have a sense from the little access to this that I have that the perception that there is a level of life which is a game, really a sha'ashuah, derives from holding that consciousness without that reverence and respect for the realness of the creative world. And this I believe is our primary difference. It's a big difference. Because our knowing of life is of willful creation that G-d wanted this here, that it's not some sort of unfolded derivative, but it's a willful creation. So though we know that on a level it's an illusion in the sense that the primal realness is the oneness of all being, nevertheless, that illusion is willed in love. That-is-so-marvelous. Because it means that everything that we live, see and know, is sent to us by the One Who in love chose to create a consciousness that would see all of this as separate, different and happening and becoming and making the space for you.                 I once had a conversation with someone who is deep in Buddhism. Maybe I'm missing something, but we were taking a walk in a very beautiful place and I said, just tell me something—Why is all this beautiful? What is that for you? And what it is for me, it's tiferet, in the sense that after there's the withdrawal, so after, there's a creative consciousness which finds beauty and connectedness, which is what beauty does, in the sense of the attractiveness and loveliness of all that is. So again, I don't know what lies they live. But I think I have a sense of something of the perspective. Though there is much speaking of compassion there, real compassion? Not from, of oh, nebuch, you're missing the point. But real compassion in the sense that this is something birthed, rachamim in our language, we spoke of this when we talked of Yaakov, that real compassion comes from exactly the kind of thing that Azai said. That everything has its place that is willed and desired by a loving Creator. Rooted in the simplicity of being. But it's here, meant to be here. This is something this time of year with Amalek, who is saying, well, all you're seeing is just a product of your mind. Here, let me just give you just a little bit of wine, and see if you'll still see things the way you're used to. (Sounding drunk) Here, we'll just get you into the right state, you wouldn't see anything at all. So what the heck do you think you're looking at? Do you think that's real? It's all mikreh, by-products of a lower consciousness. Mikreh, meaning it's chance, in the sense, it's just by-products of a lower consciousness that doesn't really see the truth. That's Amalek. He says to you, who have been spit out by the cloud. You see now? All the things you think about as being real are not. (It's true but it's also not true.) It's true in that it's all simple being. It's not true in that G-d has chosen that it should be seen this way and lived this way as an act of love that should allow for love in a relationship. The important point is olam chesed yibanah, he created it out of love. That's the transition point which happens when Avraham then comes into that realization at the moment his son is going to be taken away from him at the akeidah. That he's told, You're going to lose your only son. Then he realizes the lovingness from G-d in having given him an only son, someone specific and particular, and that's real and it's meant to be real. That's his awakening from the loving of the specific. That's Yitzchak, who is the man of awe and reverence. Do you feel like I answered you? (We were just talking about Moshe, at the cost of the seeing the true reflection of the  pattern, of the what-ness. That he couldn't keep a marriage because he couldn't hold onto the form because he was paying the price of being a conduit. So my question is, Why is Moshe the one who gets mad? He gets upset. It seems that being the conduit, seeing the real form and pattern, and we know that being angry is something we shouldn't do, so why did he get mad?) I don't think I could explain why he got mad, but he did. (Laughing). He was human. And it was a falling. And in that falling, so he (What do we learn from that?)  I've been there and talked about that, last Purim we were very deep in that as Patience and Anger on Purim. I'll send you a link but I'm just not there right now.

Awarded for his, and fellow colleague Dr Warren Robin's discovery of the Helicobacter Pylori bacteria and it's causative relationship with gastritis and peptic ulcers.Barry James Marshall AC FRACP FRS FAA[1][2] (born 30 September 1951) is an Australian physician, Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, and Professor of Clinical Microbiology at the University of Western Australia. Marshall and Robin Warren showed that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) plays a major role in causing many peptic ulcers, challenging decades of medical doctrine holding that ulcers were caused primarily by stress, spicy foods, and too much acid. This discovery has allowed for a breakthrough in understanding a causative link between Helicobacter pylori infection and stomach cancer.Find Barry here http://barryjmarshall.blogspot.com/https://twitter.com/barjammarhttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2005/marshall/lecture/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/labanditchburn?fan_landing=true)

In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we are rustling through our present cupboard and serving up some audio treats to see you through the festive period. To kick things off for our audio Christmas stocking, in the SA Drink Of The Week, we chat with Australia's most trusted Sparkling Winemakers, Trina Smith, who has just launched a stunning, SA-based premium vintage sparkling wine, Jacob. Then we have three goodies. Firstly, Charles Firth joins us. Charles is a founder of The Chaser - that hilarious comedy team that breathed new life into satire and political comedy on the ABC and now is responsible for The Chaser Report which is not only a podcast but also one of Australia's top ten news sites, according to recent surveys. This interview was recorded for the School Of Hard Knock Knocks podcast but Steve kept some parts for us, especially a roasting dished out to South Australian Chaser writer, John Delmenico! Secondly, we interview Nobel Laureate, Professor Barry Marshall, who won the Nobel Prize for his work discovering that ulcers were not caused by acid but rather they were due to bacteria. This interview was originally recorded for the This Pathological Life podcast but because Professor Marshall achieved his breakthrough working with South Australian pathologist, Dr Robin Warren, Steve wanted to share the SA flavour with us. Thirdly, Steve recorded a chat with Ian McFadyen earlier this year, the man who brought us the Comedy Company. Again, this was recorded for the School Of Hard Knock Knocks podcast but there are two important aspects Steve wanted to share. Firstly, how the generosity of helping someone out actually led to the Comedy Company being possible, and secondly, how happenstance has continued to follow Ian, including some South Australian connections. And finally, in the Musical Pilgrimage, Professor Flint has chipped in with some goodies of his own, a new album of his iconic dinosaur songs produced in Acoustic Unplugged style.

In 1983, Dr Robin Warren and Dr Barry Marshall embarked upon a study to investigate the significance of bacterial found in the stomachs of ulcer patients. This journey would take them over a decade to complete and was riddled with self-doubt, persistent scepticism, and challenging centuries of medical dogma but their persistence ultimately led to the highest accolade in Medicine. Oh, and a bout of bad breath. Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacteria that has evolved with humans. With an estimated worldwide prevalence of up to 50%, this organism has found a survival niche where it is perfectly suited to thrive in the stomach's highly acidic environment.

In this podcast episode, we interview Barry Marshall, AC, FRACP, FRS, FAA, the legendary Nobel Laureate who discovered that peptic ulcer disease was caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, not excess acid. Marshall fought for years against the notion that ulcers were caused by acid and finally infected himself with the bacteria and underwent endoscopy to prove his point. His research has saved countless lives, as untreated ulcer disease can lead to gastric cancer. We discuss numerous facets of his life and his pioneering work. Before antimicrobial therapy against Helicobacter, patients suffered for years without the right therapy.  Brought to you by Redhill Biopharma, makers of Talicia (omeprazole magnesium, amoxicillin and rifabutin) delayed release capsules.

For over eighty years, Australia and East Timor have been joined together, mostly in conflict and struggle. The latest conflict is playing out in a secret court case and involves Australian lawyer Bernard Collaery and a former ASIS officer turned whistleblower Witness K. Both have been accused of communicating protected intelligence information after disclosing an Australian bugging operation carried out in the government offices of Timor Leste in 2004. After an ACT Supreme Court ruling, significant parts of the trial against Collaery will be held in secret, which legal experts warn as the "gravest threats to freedom of expression". New Australia Institute research shows that of all the Five Eyes countries, Australia’s oversight of its intelligence communities is the weakest. In this podcast recording from our live webinar series we are privileged to have one of the key figures in Timor Leste’s fight for independence and former Timor Leste President, José Ramos Horta. He was co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996, and survived an assassination attempt in 2008. We are also privileged to welcome Bernard Collaery along with Allan Behm, head of the Australia Institute’s International and Security Affairs Program. As this matter is currently before the courts, and Bernard is subject to suppression orders, there are some limitations on the discussion which was recorded live on 2 September as part of the Australia Institute's Economics of a Pandemic Webinar series.The Australia Institute // @theAUSInstituteHost: Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director at the Australia Institute // @ebony_bennettGuests: José Ramos-Horta, Nobel Prize Laureate and former President of Timor Leste, Bernard Collaery, Barrister and former Attorney-General of the ACT, Allan Behm, head of the Australia Institute's International and Security Affairs Program // @MirandaprorsusProducer: Jennifer MaceyTheme music: Pulse and Thrum

Bruce Lee often carried notes to himself or affirmations on notecards in his wallet. One of these read: “Be aware of our conditioning. Drop and dissolve inner blockage.” “Inner to outer – we start by dissolving our attitude not by altering outer conditions.” We are all raised in a culture, whether it is a family, community, or national culture. We all have a way we view the world depending on how we entered or experienced it as a child. When Bruce says, “Be aware of our conditioning,” he is saying that it is good to acknowledge and be aware that we are not bias free. Drop and dissolve inner blockage by freeing yourself from things having to be a certain way. This returns to the concept: “Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.” We start by dissolving our inner attitude, not by altering our outer conditions. “Do not have an attitude; Open yourself and focus yourself and express yourself. Reject external form that fails to reject internal reality.” One of our current dominant cultures is the workplace and we let it seep into our personal life more and more. “One should get rid of the obtruding self and apply himself to the work to be done as if nothing particular were taking place at the moment.” You don’t have to have a rigid framework around everything, take off the rigidity and just do what you need to do. “The mind itself is endowed with infinite mobilities that know no hindrances. “ It’s clear that these philosophies were helpful to Bruce Lee, especially because during the time Bruce was alive and working towards his goals, other people were constantly putting limitations on him. “Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one’s bodily self. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out as it will.” Bruce was in a whole practice of Mind, Body, and Spirit. His gateway into this mental and spiritual experience was through martial arts and teaching. “Man’s mind and his behavior are one, his inner thought and outer expression cannot contradict each other.” Many of us have personas or masks for every situation and it can be exhausting. Dissolve your attitude and judgment; take off the masks to let your true spirit out. Take Action: Ask this: Can I take off the masks? Can I be myself no matter where I am? Take a step back and ask what your heart really wants. Try being truthful with your spirit and dissolving your attitudes. #AAHA This week our #AAHA shout-out goes to Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist for female education and youngest Nobel Prize Laureate. She’s best known for her human rights advocacy for the education of women in Northwest Pakistan where the local Taliban had banned girls from attending in school. In 2009, when she was 11, Malala wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life during the Taliban occupation. In 2012, the Taliban made an attempt on her life. That murder attempt sparked an international outpouring of support for her. She has since started the nonprofit the Malala Fund, has co-authored a book “I am Malala”, been the subject of numerous documentaries, and been on Time magazine. The most important thing is that Malala has become a voice against the suppression of children and women and for education as a right.

She was born on January 9, 1959. She was born to a poor native peasant family and raised in the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture. From and early age, she helped with the family farm work, while they were in the northern highlands and on the Pacific coast, where adults and children went to pick coffee on the big plantations. Young Menchu became involved in social reform activities through her Catholic Church, where later she became prominent in the women’s rights movement while she was still only a teenager. The activism of Menchú and her family soon led to persecution by Guatemala’s military government. Her father was a leader of a peasant organization opposed to the government and was later accused of guerrilla activities by the military. During Guatemala’s ensuing civil war, he died in a fire while protesting human rights abuses. By 1979, Menchu officially joined the Committee of the Peasant Union (CUC).

This week's episode of Boiling Point is going to be a little bit different as we turn the table and our own Greg Hemmings is the guest. In conjunction with a group of New Brunswick thought leaders, Greg has recently started work on his newest documentary, “The Millennial Dream”. New Brunswick, like a number of rurally based economies, has a problem.  Many of it's smart, and talented young people are moving away to “greener pastures” in order to retain good, well-paying jobs.  These young people come from a generation called the Millennials and they consist primarily of those who have grown-up during the Internet age. This out-migration is draining the province of not only population, but also skills, and tax revenue.  So, how does a community go about fixing this problem?  Greg's answer is through better business. Millennials are leaving because of a lack of opportunity.  However, opportunity can take on alternate forms than just salary and career growth.  Millennials are also interested in making a real impact globally, locally, socially, and environmentally.  “The Millennial Dream” seeks to change the way many businesses act to develop a triple bottom line: profit, but also social and environmental impact. Is your business up for taking on this challenge?   In this episode Greg tells us about “The Millennial Dream” and how it got started Greg tells us what he had learned from a trip to Hubli, India and the impact being made by a local organization there that is “teaching people how to fish” metaphorically. We hear about a conference Greg attended in India and his chat with a Nobel Prize Laureate. We hear about the frustration Greg felt on his return to Canada. Dave explains how the frustration can be a fuel to continue to make an impact. Greg is reminded that the small impacts you make on people are still significant.   Links and References Greg's Twitter The Hemmings House site Hemmings House Twitter Check out the documentaries progress, sharables, and amazing photos with the hash tag: #themillennialdream Learn more about your ad choices.
