A little about science

HH

This is something that I found myself writing on a thread on facebook, it is really a very lengthy matter which I have addressed somewhat in my Hebrew Likutay Nanach, but since I've written this now in English, I will share it here:

HH the Torah says that Solomon was the wisest of all men even more than Moses, and the holy books are asking how that can be possible, and the Zohar explains that Solomon had wisdom of the working of the lower worlds of which Moses had absolutely no interest. Once a person merits to know of the workings of the inner worlds with their supreme power he will not care to waste an iota of time or energy in the weak infinitesimal lower systems. (In ancient Egypt they had magic doing all types of things that today is done by technology, and in contradistinction Adam originally had angels doting on him and his every pleasure and luxury.) And all this pertains to real wisdom, however the empirical happenings of this world the Zohar very greatly derides, and the Ramchal elaborates as well that the Sages of the Talmud don't even give any attention or mention to it at all, it is a very shallow shell which wraps up the true working of what is really going on. It is like measuring and analyzing ripples in a pool of water without taking into account the stone which was thrown into the water and set them off. And so the scientists are busy measuring and quantifying the superficial values, and completely missing the true workings - and that's besides for the fact that because their focus is so completely misplaced the chances of their having true faith and integrity is very slim, may the holy Merciful One have mercy on us in merit of the holy Petek of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

Rosh Hashana is essentially about leaving your wife and going to Uman

HH

Rosh Hashana is the day that Adam was created, and when HY put him to sleep and separated from him what He created as Eve. The entire Kabala is replete with this theme called "nesseera" the removal and separation of Eve from Adam. From Rosh Hashana on we are busy completing the countenance of the Shechina (the aspect of Eve) and finally reuniting her with her husband (Ze'ehr Anpin- the Small Countenance/Adam). That is why it is very simple to understand why the essential idea of Rosh Hashana is to separate from one's wife, and go to Uman (the Creator).

Hence it is very understandable why all the ignorant aimless people endlessly bicker over how people leave their wives to go to Uman for Rosh Hashana - because that is precisely what is necessary and called for, so that is where they will put down opposition...

The curse of external knowledge of the gentiles

HH

Rabbi Nussun, the prime disciple of Rabbi Nachman, was the master of seeing only good in people. He received from Rabbainu the teaching and life practice that even in the most evil Jew there is some good point, however small, which one should search out, latch on to, and only see this person through the vantage of this goodness. Rabbi Nussun said that he can explain elaborately any area of the entire Torah, but to explain even the most insignificant Jew he was unable.

This very Rabbi Nussun composed pages and pages of diatribe, castigation, and curses against those who teach and pollute the young Jewish minds with secular knowledge. Today probably thousands if not tens of thousands of Breslovers pray and articulate these words every day! Be aware!

This should drill home the utter evil and danger of secular knowledge.

Today as science manifests its exhibitionism of its measurements and computations, producing tools and devices, it becomes harder to retain the realization of how superficial all of it is, really just an assembly of the empirical in a mechanical fashion so that it can serve humanity in some way. In a previous post Machine Angels you can see how all the services these new robots are providing and many more, were all provided for Adam directly via spiritual forces of angels, and every physical entity is in reality empowered by a spiritual one, and it is a terrible handicap to be blind to the reality and only see the superficial physical shell and credit it for more than what it is, a slave. All the external knowledge of the sciences and all the fields and disciplines studied in the secular world, are simply just that - slaves, at the service of the true inner purpose, nothing more. Don't mistake it from what it is, don't be misled. True it may contain some amazing facets, such is the nature of the creation of G-d Almighty, but in no way does it even begin to touch the true wisdom of the Torah. Every letter of the Torah is true living wisdom of creating value - not simply empirical, stagnant, and dormant. There is a great deal more to be said....

Keep strong.

Machine Angels

HH

Technology of today has machines attending to many of our needs, and in the near future it looks like that machines will be able to tend to every little thing we want by a simple motion.

The Talmud (Sanhedrin 59b) says that Adam reclined in Paradise, and the ministering angels roasted meat for him, and distilled wine for him.

The truth is that every physical particle in the world is really just energy (even Einstein started to figure that out), and energy is ultimately spiritual forces, namely angels.

Angels in place of machines is a concept found in Sanhedrin 105b where the Talmud discusses what exactly HY put in Bilaams mouth, Rabbi Eliezer says, an angel, whereas Rabbi Yonason says a metal hook. Especially in Kabala and Chasidus conflicts like this are shown to really be in agreement, just each side highlighting a different facet.  Thus this excerpt is really bringing out the point of this article.

So all the machines and technology at work for us, is bringing us back full circle to how it was for Adam in Paradise. The big difference being, Adam saw the reality, that he was being attended to by forces directly empowered by HY, whereas we suffer the delusion that some physical entity is arbitrarily at our command.

Indeed, self-driving cars, are strongly reminiscent of the holy wagon of the Baal Shem Tov, who would retire the coachman and put the wagon on automatic pilot - kefitzas haderech. This suggests that we are entering a paradigm of existence of such magnitude, that even the average person should readily be experiencing G-d on such a high divine level of consciousness. May we merit to fully live this new life...
