Class Four, Sicha on Elul and Teshuva and Parshas Re’ei 5720 Text: Toras Menachem, Volume 28, p.289-290 This class addresses the experience of “seeing” a revelation of bracha (blessing) and klala (correction) in the process of teshuva. According to Chassidus, one of the highest levels of certainty is seeing – “seeing is believing”. Physical and spiritual sight are contrasted, and the point is made that physical seeing (though indirect) has real advantage over “spiritual vision”. There are ideas you can understand and there are those that you cannot explain but you can “see” them in the mind’s eye but you cannot defend it in a debate because it has not come down into a level of speaking. A spiritual/intellectual vision. When a neshama in Gan Eden “sees” Godliness – it is on a high level of certainty because it is “seeing b’ruchniyus”. Rie’ya chushis is “seeing directly” by seeing G-d in physical things that we see directly. Class Length (33:56)
