  It seems like to be in a state of shuv one needs a humility that comes from the maturity of a life lived - maybe this explains teenagers, they have so much rotzu but not enough access to peace of shuv… Does that make sense?

    I think it's true and the reason is probably because too much is demanded from them

  Secular and Religious comments...

  SO when we separate learning into secular and religious we are going against the real source.

  Yes, but we have to reconnect secular knowledge back to source.

  Yes, but we have to also be careul not to be affected by the secular.

  No our job is to affect the secular and not run away from it.

  Lead by example.

  I think both secular and religious are a routes to divinity because everything is just Reflection of HaShem isn't it?

  Yes,  agree but secular wisdom c=without torah leads to yeshus as rabbi yy explained.

  Yes but Torah itself is a story of secular and religious Pharoh and Moshe Rebbennu, Nimrod and Abraham, Yakoov and Esauv so it's all divinity in a different perspective and it's all to give us a blue print if our lives.

  Yes, but in  Torah even pharaoh becomes spiritual ! Torah is the blueprint of the transformation that we need to implement so in Torah itself the word esav is holy too! in halacha if esav name misplelt its not kosher.

  Seems Rabbi is saying there is no place, even the lowest poimt that a person can't connect with GD.

  I think Rabbi Mikvah is a great example of two waters/mayims coming together one can't separate the two waters in mikvah that's why  we shouldn't separate the waters of heaven and earth.

  ah unity!

  Maybe it's when a person has to find the inner divinity before it can connect to HaShem's . A person needs to disconnect to find or strengthen inner divinity so that it can have the capacity to connect with HaShem.It was exactly when HaShem hover over the water HaShem created all it's creation...so we can say silence, surrender and calmness creates a realization of being alone only then we are able to create a connection like HaShem created the entire creation to connect with us.

  I think because both heart energy and brain energy have their own intrinsic identity which creates the ongoing tension - but the will of the soul transcends both and so a person has the capacity to switch between so as not to do too much ratzo and escape the mission of life and not too much shuv which stifles the light of revealed holiness .

  In tehillim 150 the shofar is the first instrument as first we must connect to the raw source of sound undifferentiated before we experience the beauty of different timbres that represents different identities? maybe

  Just clarifying in breathing - the ratzo is breathing out and shov is the breathing into body ? Also the rhythm of talking and listening.

  Can fire and water co-exist without a pot in between?

  Not naturally  

  But....with a miracle everything is possible. The plague of hail (frozen water) had fire within the hail. On the level of the miraculous anything is possible.

  Which is greater? Fire or water?

  Perhaps the answer is that neither is inherently superior to the other.  Rather it depends on context, on relative quantity.

  Sprinkle a little water on a raging inferno abd those sprinkles will vaporize quickly.  But, pour a great quantity of water on a fire abd the water extinguishes the fire. The difference depends on relative quantity. 

  Similary if you have  quantity of water and apply a huge fire, the water will dissipate. But...take a quantity of water and apply a little fire and the fire will burn out without dissipating the water.

  There are 4 categories of creation down here

  1. Inanimate. 2. Vegetative. 3. Animal 4. Human.

  Only the inanimate remains as created.  No growth. No ingestion of anything.  No expulsion og anything. The inanimate is totally static.

  The other 3 living categories, vegetative, animal and human all start off as a speck, a seed, an embryo (all made up of the output of prior living creatures); and then begin to ingest throughout life. The ingestion is "rotzov".  Living beings "go out" (rotzov)  and ingest food,  drink, air, even ideas. Then all living beings "return" (shuv) and give out excretions,  energy,  growth,  even ideas and words.

  So all 3 living beings, from their first creation "go out" (rotzov) and ingest and then "return" (shuv) constantly throughout life. Only the inanimate is static. The 3 living categories are dynamic and this dynamism is "rotzov" and "shuv"

  If both shuv and razo

  both have to exist, how does a person get totally connected with GD?

  So there's an expression...

  called "I'm all in". In the context of this shiur, does that mean that the shuv and razo both need to be present in order to experience that? You'd think that the wanting more would be the way to get "all in", but I hear you saying that only wanting more is not the way.
