Page 52. How is Da’as Elyon intellectual? What is the definition of the human brain? The modern vs. the ancient. Philosophy is real wisdom, but one needs to be a Parush. All intellect, direct indirect, applied and abstract is all Da’as Tachton. Da’as Elyon is knowing the unknowable.

Page 52. This class asks the question why do we say that there are two levels of Da’as? It answers the question by quoting the possuk. Our reality, our facts, are the Biblical letters and words and we study them with incredible precision and detail. The Possuk says ‘Ki Kail Daios Hashem’, we know therefore…

Page 51. In this class, we explore what Da’as is. It is a depth and a connection to things outside itself that has an incredible amount of power. Da’as exists on the lowest levels regarding the most menial physical things, but exists also on much higher levels, on levels of the intellect and even the…

Page 51. Da’as Elyon is about depth, not height. Da’as Elyon brings The infinity of the soul into the body but in a manageable way. This means that although Da’as is infinite, it is nevertheless in a vessel that a man can manage and direct as he chooses deliberately. This is the meaning of what…

Page 49-51. Even the rich have reason to pray, but why? Don’t they have everything they need. Moshe is considered rich, and not Ya’akov, though he and Ya’akov both are from the central pole, because he is Da’as. He is specifically ‘Da’as Elyon’, which is really rich.

Page 47-8. Krias Shma (the divine perspective, there is nothing but God) and Shmone Esrei (the human perspective, so we have needs), Torah brings down with no struggle to the very refined (that Davened already), Tefilla raises up, and brings down to fill the ‘lack’ far more slowly. The first Kol (Tefilla without a Vov)…

Page 46-7. The first three Brachos of Shemone Esrei are connected to the ten S’firos, the middle Brachos are the lacks that need to be filled, so we begin with the first three (shvach) to have with what to fill the lacks. This class explains how the lack of Malchus due to it’s Yeshus is…

Page 45-6. Ata (missing the Hai) asisa Es HaShamayim. What gets lost in Tzimtzum HaRishon is all of Ein Sof, including the ten hidden S’firos (and these are the five Partzufim) only Malchus of Malchus becomes the basis for the Ohr (Ein Sof) of the kav.

Page 43-5. Ata Hu Havaya Livadecha (2). Hu means Godliness which is very sophisticated and known only indirectly by very intelligent people. Havaya means the revelation of that Godliness, Livadecha it is all One with Him before the Tzimtzum.

Page 43-5. Ata Hu Havaya Livadecha (1). Ata= Atzmus, the Truth of God Himself is simple and known to all, even the simplest ones. Hamaor Hu Bi’Hisgalus is discussed here and the idea that even small children and simpletons have opinions on G-d because they subliminally know Him.
