  Thank you for your deep explanation of the connection between Adam eatiing

  from The Tree, and murder. A fanatastic shiur - Thank you!!!

   

  It is clear to me from your shiur, that the purpose of the klippah is to give

  the human being a choice, whether to serve Hashem, or to spill His gift of 

  Divine Energy into the domain of negativity, into the domain of klippah.

   

  I find it fascinating that the gematria of klippah is 225, and the gematria of bechira

  is 225!

  Boker Tov, Do you think there is a connection to the different opinions of the type of fruit that grew on the etz of daat? Apple, Grape, Fig, can all be eaten with the klipah One does not need to peel of the klipah

    Meseches Brachos 40a דתניא אילן שאכל ממנו אדם הראשון רבי מאיר אומר גפן היה שאין לך דבר שמביא יללה על האדם אלא יין שנאמר וישת מן היין וישכר רבי נחמיה אומר תאנה היתה שבדבר שנתקלקלו בו נתקנו שנאמר ויתפרו עלה תאנה ר"י אומר חטה היתה שאין התינוק יודע לקרות אבא ואמא עד שיטעום טעם דגן

    Another opinon in medresh also esrog.

    רבי אבא דעכו אמר אתרוג היה הה"ד ותרא האשה כי טוב העץ אמר רבה צא וראה איזהו אילן שעצו נאכל כפריו ואי אתה מוצא אלא אתרוג. ע"כ בבראשית רבה

    Do not see apple there. Chita cannot be eaten with klipa.

  I did not understand the answer regarding the process to identify if the thought is from kedusha or klipa - you said one has to see where the thought leads you if alighment with the almighty etc. - but if the thought is telling you it is kedusha then one thinks this is alighment with the almighty (like by korach) even though it really is the opposite? Can you please explain this important concept?

  A friend of mine, a very gashmack and shelamastik Yid once told me that when a Yid does an aveirah, they should appraoch Hashem and say vidui, "I'm so sorry Hashem that i did that and I feel grreat regret and I promise not to do it again."    Then the next day when he does that same thing again he should say "I'm so sorry H" that i did that and i feel great regret and I promise not to do it again.  And this time I really mean it!!"

  Interesting machlokes between two great French scientists of the 1800s.

  Essentially all of the dominant main stream Western medicine and related sciences go by the Louis Pasteur outlook known as the “germ theory”.

  This is despite that Louis Pasteur renounced his own theory on his death bed and said:  "(Antoine) Beauchamp was right; it's not the invading germs - it's the terrain. It's not the mosquitoes,it's the swamp that they're breeding in."

  Basically the difference between a fear of germs out there ready to attack us and destroy and an attitude of creating the most healthy self to build our klipas ie immune system.

  Mashal of a garden – the healthier, richest, most organic soil produces the healthiest, most robust and bug free vegetables.

  The two philosophies create two very different ways of viewing the world and our relationship to it.  

  Like everything, it’s not one or the other, black or white.  Rather a combo of the two philosophies, perhaps w/a great emphasis on Beauchamp rather than the accepted “germ theory” of Pasteur.

  נפלא ועמוק מאוד לכא' זה הפשט 'חילול'השם' שיש בכל עבירה שכביכול יוצר חלל בהוי-ה. השאלה הגדולה אם אדם לומר ומחפש תמיד את החידושים המבריקים, האם זה אומר שהוא לומד כדי להוסיף כח בקליפה.

  The yetzer can come to a new bt at the beginning of avodah, a d convince him he's a nothing. To combat this he must have a bit of.yeshus. Yet every 12 step program begins with "i am an alcoholic, etc. both at first and later.

  With the chait aitz hadaas kelipa was separate and distinct

  But, afterwards it became mixed with  kedusha. Tov became mixed with ra.

    Notice the "punishments " or consequences of the chait on both Adam and Chava.

   Before the chait Adam (and mankind) would have his food, e.g. wheat without work or pain. Afterwards the wheat kernels became covered with  chaff, i.e. kelipa,  and hard work and pain became required to  eat. Borer. 

    For  women, the fruit of  their womb was meant to be extracted and enjoyed easily, without work or pain. After the chait that fruit, i.e. a baby, could only come out with great pain and work, i.e. a great physical kelipa that "covers" the baby.

    I.e. the punishments for men and women  also specifically removes the protective kelipa that existed before the  chait and they became a source of pain and  work.

  Tov was in creation first so rah is merely a usurper.  Does that mean tov has a greater power?   I think it does cuz of mashal of a bit of light dispels alot of darkness.   ...

  It was said that before the chait aitz hadaas, kedusha and kelipa were separate and distinct. After the chait they became mixed. Any relationship between the fact that before Har Sinai, shomayim and Eretz were also separate and distinct but after Har Sinai they were merged such that certain mitzvah objects became susceptible of becoming holy e.g. compare tefillin and Yakov's sticks.
