  Nefesh hachaim שער א׳ סוף פרק י״ב the whole Perek 12 hes driving this point but towards the end he uses this loshon:

  וז״ל שאינו על דרך העונש ונקימה ח״ו.

   this we can add to the series you have כפה עליהם הר כגיגית which sounds really tough and mean,  but you hve in parshas haazinu יסובבנהו Rashi says it means כפה עליהם הר . And over there in האזינו Moshe is saying things of love and good hashem did to the Jews. Clearly it wasn’t just “ok enough is enough your in or out, got no time,” with that scary face.

  I was looking for a shiur for Parshas Eikev and I found the one you did in 2017.

   

  My head is still reeling from the breadth and depth of the content,  My tefilos have been upgraded for good! Hashem Loves us no matter what.  I'm so glad that I listened to that Shiyur I can't even tell you. This makes every davening better for me and my wife.

   

  Thank you Thank you and Thank you again.

   

  BTW, I sent it to my whole family!

  Divine Anger

  Ego does not experience anger, jelousy, revenge the same way as Divine Energy experiences.

  We need to understand the operating system in Divine and Ego energy to be able to grasp a bit of what is Divine Energy's "anger".

  The Divine energy's flow is thru Mashpia (giver) and Mekabel (receiver), it has only 2 movements, moving close or pulling away.

  In order for the Mekabel to receive, the mashpia needs to pull away in order to create a lack and the will(the I want) is activated and the mekabel will draw the energy, like for example the system of the syrenge.

  We know God created the world by concealing It's energy and than He wanted and creation happened.

  We take for granted the "will", we are not aware that we start almost every sentence, before doing anything with the words "I want", not even knowing what and where this "want" is and comes from.

  The soul has 10 foctions, but it has 2 motivators the WILL and PLEASURE, these 2 motivators are experienced in our Divine Soul and our ego.

  In Divine Energy and in our Divine Soul the process would look like this:

  Divine Energy pulls back (angry)- creating a lack- activating the will- drawing of energy, which is a very empowering experience. 

  The experience of lacking in Divine Energy and in our Divine Soul our REAL SELF, is  a lack that draws energy, allowing and pulling new energy, new opportunities.

  But, G-d ceated "Ze Leumat Ze" which means that the ego's experience mirrors the Divine experience.

  So, the ego's experience being the opposite would look like this:

  Ego is lacking something, it does not have what is wants-creates anger, jealousy, etc., the will is activated, it becomes full of itself and  it does not draw any new energy because it's energy is circular so it will only heat up the same energy , it will not be empowering but very nasty.

  So, if Divine draws NEW energy, the ego mirrors it and it ciruculates OlD energy.

  In a jew, since we have a Divine Soul, if we are aware of it regularly and close to it, connected ot it, we will experience the lack, the concealment as an opportunity for NEW Divine Energy, but if our reality is only ego, the experience of lack, will be very different.

  מהותו האמיתית של הקב"ה

  הרצאה טובה מאד ויש בה חומר רב להתחשב היטב עליו. אך לבסוף הרבה פעמים הקב"ה או הורג אנשים בעצמו כגון במבול ובמגפות שונות אשר שלח לעם ישראל, או הוא מצוה למשה או לבית דין להרוג בני אדם על דברים לא חשובים כל עיקר. אי אפשר לשכנע אדם שיש בו שמץ של דעת והבנה שמעשים שכאלו באים ממקור של חסד, אהבה ורחמים. אי אפשר לתקן אדם על ידי הריגתו.

  ועוד היתכן שלרבון העולמים יש תחושות של אהבה או חרון אף או קנאה? ואיך נוכל לדעת מה הוא חושב או רוצה או לו רוצה כשאינו נראה ואינו נשמע.

  לי נראה שרק יוצרים תירוצים חלשים כדי לרכך את הרשימה הבולטת של א-ל כעסן.

  תודה רבה וכל הכבוד לרב הנכבד שליט"א

  But, is that so?

  I always learn and enjoy your lectures, but I have major questions on this one.

  The blessings and the curses in the Torah.... The curses don’t sound like love, they are threats that came to fruition.  HaAzinu, Hashem knows what His people are going to do before they do it, and knows He will be punishing them. Yes forgiveness comes from that but it all seems like a set up.  I don’t beieve the gas houses of the third riech were allowed to happen out of love. And yes, it is a bit Schizophrenic. Obviously I don’t understand.

  When a child is warned over and over again and still does the same thing again and again, do we continuously whip that child, do we throw the child out, or do we try to find a way of helping.  The Jewish people are that child.  As a result a majority of Jews are zombies following whatever seems to work for them and are quite lost.

  The Torah truly is the right way of life, but it is hard to bring the zombies back to it, and it is hard to understand the Shema Prime Directive as history is observed

  Thanks very much,

  Marty
