Daas - Realization of Knowledge - of the Evil Realm

HH

The holy Zohar says that the evil realm is castrated (/impotent, sterile) and can not produce offspring. However we do find in scriptures children attributed to the evil, as in e.g. Psalms (37:28) The children of the wicked are cut off, the Ramchal says in Adir Bamurom that this means that even though they have children, the children are not viable, and will not live. Rabbainu revealed in Likutay Moharan (volume 2, Torah 37) that a person who isn't holy and just chases after his desires, and leaves his wealth to his children, is likened to a person that defecates on himself and cleans the feces with more feces, for his children are really the aspect of feces GF, because they come from the superfluous waste of his brain, and are just like the vanity of his wealth, likened to excrement GF, see there. Thus we see that the children born to the wicked are an aspect of void. Like the holy Zohar says about the people that study Torah without purity that they create heavens and earths of void GF. That means that their conjugation is like they are relieving themselves on their partners, and in fact today there is a sick fe*ish k*nk for such a thing, because in reality that is what all of p*rn*graphy is – and even knowing this will not help those stuck in it's putrid disgusting grip, as explained in the Words of Rabbi Nachman (Sichos Huran 304), and therefore it is better not to even talk of it at all.

When I was in Uman a little while ago I was shmoozing with this kid, and I was explaining to him the concept that daas (realization of knowledge) is only for the good, because in the realm of evil there is nor real unity in conjugation, which is what daas is – the unification of Chuchma (wisdom-father) and Beena (understanding-mother). And after our whole talk the kid says let's see what Rabbainu says, and he opens a Likutay Moharan straight to Torah 43, where Rabbainu says, “know that there is daas of klipa (evil husks-forces)….” That was like hitting a brick wall. Even still it would seem that Rabbainu is not coming to dispute what is explained in the holy books that the daas of the klipa is simply a collection of the the chusudim (kindnesses- from the side of chuchmu) and givooroas (mights – from the side of wisdom) and does not have any unifying or cumulative power from the two sides. And the bar daas (-one possessing daas) that Rabbainu talks about there, would be someone who produces such offspring as described above – that are in reality void.

Daas - Realization of Knowledge

HH

Previously I've given some insight into this, here's another parable.

A kid walks into a room full of people armed with a loaded machine gun. Everyone present sees. They all know very well what they see. Only one person, yells GEVALD! and dashes over and jumps the kid and disarms him.

Many people will readily acknowledge that there is One G-d who created the whole world and runs every detail, yet they conduct themselves and carry on their lives with very very little inculcation of this knowledge.

Only the holy followers of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman, are shouting GEVALD! Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!! There is ONE G-D!!!! There is Rabbainu!!!! There is Torah! There are mitzvos!!!! GEVALD!!! Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!!

And they can't get past that. As soon as they try to move on, and get involved in some worldly affair, whether it is making a livelihood or passing entertainment, they are constantly catching themselves with the sheer magnitude of the realization: GEVALD!!! There is One G-d! There is Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

Ramchal's One infinite vessel

HH
Tonight, yesod she-bi-yisod, is the hilula of the Ramchal (acronym Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto). He brought many souls to Nanach, including myself. When I read his work "daas tevunos" (realizing knowledge of understanding) I was an extremely diligent yeshiva boy very much ingrained in the Yeshiva philosophy, this work made a huge dent in my belief in their system. It was such a huge game changer - I understood distinctly that a person can excel and master the whole Talmud, and not realize the enormous revelation of this holy awesome work. From then on I intensified my search, concentration, and focus on finding out the important things in life. This is in fact what "Torah Lishmu" (Torah for the Sake of the Shechina), as Rashi in two places in the Talmud says explicitly that this is the intent to find the secrets of the Torah. On all of this I would need to go to great lengths to explain, but here is not the place or time.

It's been many many years since I've reread this holy work, and I can not do full justice or take responsibility of accuracy. Arguably the main point of the work is to show how G-d created the world to reveal His unity, as this allows for the manifestation of all the possible levels of non-unity, where as any other attribute only shows a clear expression of it's positive existence but not of it's ineptitude. E.g wisdom manifests itself at many levels, but there is no measure for stupidity, it is just the absence of intellect, whereas G-d's Unity is just the opposite, His unity is infinite and cannot be fathomed, but every type, form, and amount of unity clearly manifests itself, and thus can be used as a handle of showing some level and perception of G-d's unity. as negative vessels, to reveal that there is only The One Infinite. These vessels show that after every possible force, virtue, or anything achieves maximization, it is nothing, there is just G-d. The evil was created to show that as much as it can even look as prevalent, a rock to big for its creator, it can even give such an impression, and this too is nothing, for the reality is the One Infinite G-d. The infinity of G-d can not be shown in itself, it is impossible to show the infinity of 1, so G-d showed every possible venue, and the more realization of how they have no existence outside of G-d, the more realization of the infinity of G-d Himself.

Some people find this hard to understand, and that's reading it from the clear writing of the Ramchal, so don't go hard on yourself if you don't get my one paragraph synopsis written 15 years after reading the original. But it's the best I can give you for now.

The Ramchal himself reveals, and this is something the Baal Shem Tov really drove home, that all of the Kabbala, all the worlds, are in Man. When sitting before G-d, you gotto let G-d take over. Contemplate how all your limbs are inverse vessel (vessels that don't hold things inside of them, but rather like a dot which holds everything around it) screaming the ultimate presence and realization of G-d. If you could do this, you will be one very happy camper, fortunate is your lot in this world which is already the next world.

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!
