The True Self Is Present Even in Dissociation

When Hashem Puts His "Life" on the Line, So That No Spark Will Ever Be Lost

1 hr 32 min

Class Summary:

This is the first of a series of a text-based class on a Chassidic discourse, a Maamar Basi Legani 5723 (1963), which was said by the Lubavitcher Rebbe 60 years ago, at the Yud Shevat Farbrengen. Rabbi YY Jacobson gave this class on Sunday, 29 Teves, 5783, January 22, 2023, in Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, 18 Forshay Road, downstairs.

The theme of the first class of the maamar is How Hashem puts Himself, His very "life", on the line, so to speak, so that no spark and no soul will ever be lost. Even in the lowest of the lowest, Hashem remains present in His full infinity. And even the darkest and most disconnected of emotions, are in truth a distorted manifestation of Divine truth. That is why healing is always possible.

    אור אין סוף

    Someone asked @ 1:11:30 why when you have a good day don't you feel the אין סוף? Maybe it's got to do with what Rabbi YY said in a previous Shiur that the connection to HASHEM in AYIN is much more expressed than in YESH. Same thing a good day belongs to the category of YESH, whereas a bad day is so bad that everything becomes nothing=AYIN.

    Thanks for this class.

    I'm having trouble accessing it on my phone. The video doesn't work because YouTube is blocked and I cannot call in because I am in England.

    Is there another way?

    Someone said what about that get lost and don't come back. But I'm getting out of this: if they would KNOW that they're NOT lost...

    Soul leaving the body

    According to Dr. Peter Breggin, this condition of the soul leaving the body is not so uncommon. 

    I remember distinctly when I was in 6th or 7th grade this happened to me.  I remember looking down on my body sitting bored in my chair.

    This is quite common. Out of body experience. 

    The total detachment,  disassociation would probably reflect a certain  amount of trauma.

    The Schechina goes up and down

    The Schechina descended DOWN to the world upon creation.

    Then it went back UP as the people sinnedt until it was absent from the world.

    Avraham Avinu  reversed it's course abd began to draw the Schechina back DOWN.

    This took 7 levels and 7 leaders of the yidden.  The drawing back DOWN  was completed with Moshe and the completion of the Mishkan.

    Unfortunately the Schechina again reversed course and went back UP with the churbama, golus, sins, etc. 

    It can be said that the Arizal, the Baal Shem Yov, the Alter Rebbe and the great rebbeim and tzadikkim once again began to draw the Schechina back DOWN a final time until Moshiach comes.  The Rebbe was the 7th Rebbe, no coincidence.

      I thought the Shechina was with us here all the time.
