."..THAT let's you ..." NOT then let's you

Why do you keep harping on the issue of existence and free will? Face the fact that G-D has ABSOLUTE FREE WILL. Now that the Universe is here thanks to His Free Will and action, YOUR CHOICE of what to do, is left up to YOU!

Of course you have FREE WILL! G-D sets up the entire situation - then let's you FREELY CHOOSE, and finally, enacts the REPERCUSSIONS! You can actually do something that was NOT SUPPOSED TO happen! The Creator then DIVINELY REPAIRS the UNDESIRED result - to produce OVERALL GOOD!

You keep using the term SPIRITUAL, and yet you admit that we really DON'T KNOW what it means! How does that make any sense? Perhaps we can look at it like this - we differentiate between PHYSICAL objects and energy OUTSIDE of us, the perceiver - and what we SENSE about the aforementioned, in our MIND! IOW, the spiritual is a reference to NON-PHYSICAL or IDEA BASED awareness and consciousness because of our experience in the world and of the world. In the future State or the World To Come, perhaps there will be a greater unity between these two states, with all the PERFECTION that entails.

Perhaps the idea of BEAUTY you describe refers also to that of Klal Yisroel - where the WISDOM expressed in the multitude of views of its human constituents blends into one harmonious whole! But that means taking each one of those individuals seriously and integrating them with everyone else - REGARDLESS -of his particular proclivities, training, and self-control! IOW, being willing to LEARN from everyone!

Where do you get the idea that if a man sees a woman he wants - she AUTOMATICALLY becomes his wife!?

Actually, the PHYSICAL UNIVERSE is a revelation of G-D, if you know HOW to look.

Having the TENDENCIES towards evil before birth, does not take away the FREE WILL and power to overcome those inclinations!

Isn't the fact that Yaakov Avinu DEFEATED the angel of Esau show that the younger and the lesser was actually GREATER?

Actually the Jewish people at the time of Achashveirosh DID vote for that King, by acquiescing to his claim that Jews no longer need the Redeemer, nor ERETZ Zion!!

39:00 David was posed this question. His answer was create in me a clean heart Hashem. Hashem gave him everything :D

This is what society is missing. A place where men can go and discuss great concepts with a man who knows.

Is it true that when G-D uses suffering as the means to do - GOOD, He is HIDING that GOOD from the YETZER Harah, so that it shouldn't INTERFERE?

Aren't the South Koreans VIOLATING the commandment that forbids Gentiles from studying Torah?

Isn't our EMUNAH originally based on PERCEPTION of the MASSES?

Can't DEDUCTIONS, logical or not, be MISTAKEN? Whereas, PERCEPTION, is usually, INCONTROVERTIBLE (unless there's something wrong with your organs of perception)!

Your brother Shimon, mentioned in one of his videos, that if you do not perfect yourself with the correct choices in this world to become G-D - LIKE, then you invite ANNIHILATION, because the Creator can only exist, (so to speak), with PERFECTION ITSELF!

Doesn't SPIRITUALITY refer to the Divine or CORRECT use of the PHYSICAL that G-D gave Mankind - employing both the MIND & EMOTIONS in the process?

Isn't one of the signs or THE symbol of ALTRUISM - giving a gift and DOING GOOD to someone, when he DOESN'T DESERVE it? And doesn't G-D want you to imitate this trait?

Occult

We are part of HIM - and he has NO PARTS - is really not a problem, because that statement is from OUR POINT OF VIEW!

When you talk about the ESSENCE of things and that we CANNOT KNOW anything OUTSIDE of that - are you not referring to the experience you have in your mind as a result of PERCEPTION? IOW, we posit that G-D is outside of your apprehension of the world,and therefore, UNKNOWABLE by definition?

Don't we say that NONE of the concepts we typically apply to THIS WORLD describe G-D in any way, because we declare that the Creator is OUTSIDE OF that which he created?!

Do we say that EXISTENCE (forever) is the greatest TOV because it's opposite - OBLIVION (forever) - is the greatest EVIL?

When talking about OLAM HABA, and that the eyes have never be held it yet, maybe it's referring to what you see when you look UP on a starry night!

The problem with TOV from our perception in our world, is that we experience it in ways that cause PAIN & SUFFERING!

Methinks there is a confusion between OPPOSITES and COMPLEMENTS. The latter can and must exist together, while the former, cannot because of the obvious CONTRADICTION.

Why can't G-D exist and not exist at the same time? It seems possible as far as The Creator is concerned because He is - the ABSOLUTE UNITY OF OPPOSITES! In His world of undifferentiated and diffuse unity of everything - such a contradictory situation is certainly possible! Whereas in our BIFURCATED world, such a unity would be considered CONTRADICTORY.

SPIRITUALLY, you can derive the comment below about introducing a change when Adam and Eve were in the Garden and they were offered a CHOICE - between good, the precursor in Atzilus, and bad - the newly created physical world.

Perhaps G- D created Time in order to produce a - CHANGE, with respect to DISTANCE - both in the physical and spiritual senses. In the DIFFUSE & AMORPHOUS world of Atzilus, everything is one, undifferentiated whole.

When referring to Ishmael and his descendants, who supposedly will do TESHUVA, that is NOT referring to Arab Muslims - because the addition of Islam makes its followers - AMALEKITES! Muhammad was obviously one because he displayed two characteristics we know they supposedly have - and those are: CRUELTY & a willingness to commit SUICIDE- HOMICIDE in order to achieve their WICKED ends!

To the credit of those who founded the modern state of Israel, Ben Gurion did agree to make the official day off - the Shabbos! So you see there is a spark of Holiness in the current Israel!

The ancient Greek mentality and so-called morality is based on pure science which describes and defines what a person perceives OUTSIDE OF himself. The Torah however, posits an an INTERNAL REALITY, and therefore,a MORALITY, of the perceiver and doer!

The idea that someone or people, should serve ANYONE because they do the will of G -D, is repugnant at its core! Rather what we the Jews should be doing, is showing the world how to serve the Creator in each and every one of us, by raising the awareness of the individual to a higher level, using what G - D gave you.

DE-MATERIALIZE - not - THE-MATERIALIZE

Why should the world THE MATERIALIZE? After all, don't we say and hope for, the Universe that will be perfected after the resurrection of the Dead - where you have the IDEAL combination of the spiritual with the material?

Rabbi Yom Tov Glazer mentions YOUISHNESS, which is developing yourself in and with Judaism. Unfortunately there are still those mostly in the YESHIVISH ENVIRONMENT, who will ONLY listen to what you have to say and allow for personal development - IFF - you follow their established protocol- which is- the sage and his passage or vice versa, NEVER giving your own views. IOW, the statements: I think, I see, in my view,in my opinion - are ASSUR - until 119 years and 364 days of your life steeped in Torah, have passed!

Regarding the Holocaust it's easy to blame the irreligious and the reform. What about how the FRUMEH treat their compatriots - especially the ones who are not as religious or following certain protocols - in ordinary conversation. Many fellow Jews feel like chopped liver or minced meat - almost a total lack of RESPECT!

Why are you diminishing the experience of G-D in this world? The whole point is to use this Universe to experience his ABSENCE - something impossible in the world of MALACHIM!

One way to look at the difference between OLAM HAZEH and OLAM HABA, is that in the latter case: conflict, stench, and death are - ABSENT!

Isn't it true that the greatest JOY you experience doing a Mitzvah, from either the details of its LAW, or the KABBALAH associated with it - does not compare to the PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL PLEASURE a man gets from being INTIMATE with a woman?

Can't G-D change your Destiny and/or your Fortune for whatever DIVINE Reason he chooses? Are you not supposed to believe in The Creator Himself - REGARDLESS of the human or anything else in the Universe he uses for that belief? If on the other hand, you use a particular human being for whatever reason, as the center point of your belief, are you not guilty in some way, of the worst form of IDOLATRY?

Is the performance of the NEGATIVE and POSITIVE Commandments in that order - meant to FIRST REMOVE any impediments to perfection, and then pursue those methods that actually create and and enhance your INTENDED DEVELOPMENT?

Maybe the combination, or infusion of the soul into the body, is meant to show you how to unite with G-D in the here and now - the Universe as we experience it!

I've mentioned this before, but, the combination of fire and water produces USEFUL STEAM! So likewise with the soul and body of a man - the combination producing a PRODUCTIVE BEING!

Can we say that OLAM HABA, the different kind of existence you are talking about, is physicality that we experience here but - WITHOUT the STENCH of waste or disease or accident or - DEATH! Isn't that UNIMAGINATIVELY DIFFERENT?

Isn't the ULTIMATE PLEASURE the perfected combination of a perfect body with the perfect soul, experiencing the rest of the Universe in all its Glory?

Maybe one way to look at the WORLD TO COME is by simply gazing up at the heavens on a clear night where all these and those Stars and Planets are visible. Obviously G-D created them for us to explore and inhabit! Nobody in the history of Man has ever laid eyes on what's - OUT THERE! And of course, we need a certain IMMORTAL BODY to accomplish this!

Maybe an insight into EXISTENCE is the following: if you say that either something is ON PAR WITH, or even came BEFORE The Almighty Himself, that would be patently absurd - since G -D is the ultimate being! But if you use the idea of an UNSEIZEABLE CONCEPT - that of the action or verb - to abstract - that always refers to a continuous change, where G-D is imagined at the impossible endpoint or origin of. This can be considered as a dimensionless point, and/or an UN- GRASPABLE CHANGE.

" ... join with G-D ..." In the spiritual realm? Don't we do that upon death? And He also has His MALACHIM. Why does he need you? Can we not say that The Creator made THIS WORLD so that you could join him, in the here and now, following the correct formula - The Ten Commandments!
