    I'm trying to wrap my head around this Maamer and I attempt to put in my own words what my understanding is both on a macro and a micro level by creating a video called "It Was Always You" on YouTube (I'll put the link below). I'm hoping you might take a look and give me feedback on it in the comments. Constructive criticism is welcome! Im not panhandling for "likes" or increase traffic to my page or anything like that.  I really want to know if I understand correctly. I have no means to discuss Torah or any of the content you discuss with anyone in my community or home. Any feedback to validate whether  my understanding, although perhaps not yet to its full potential, is on the right track, or conversely, if am I completely out in left field and need to go back to the beginning to reevaluate key concepts would be very much appreciated. As we live in a busy world that prefers sound bites I tried to accommodate by keeping the video about a minute in length, but as a result the end product is extremely metaphorical and I hope the meaning does not get lost in translation because of it, but we will see.  Thank you so much Rabbi YY and to all your students, I can attest first hand that although still in the midst of a very dark forest, I see shimmers of light emerging through the trees that I can now walk towards, you truly bring healing to the world. Thank you.

    A person can raise his arms above the head.

    But....doesn't it say in seforim NOT to raise the arms above the head???

    From a mindless piece of gashmius there cannot

    Arise consciousness? 

    Please follow very recent developments in Ai.

    It was reported just yesterday that Chatbot can pass national medical exams, the bar exam, etc. A recent Ai sermon fooled the crowd thinking it was the lSacks great  R. Jonathan Sacks.

      The chatbot and the capabilities of AI are amazing, but it has nothing to do with consciousness. None of what you have described has brought it an iota closer to consciousness

    Joseph Campbell wrote the book on the all

    The world's cultures. And EACH one has a flood story!

      Joseph Campbell was THE master of comparative mythology. He states that almost all world mythologies (think papua new guinea, far from the rest of civilization) have a flood story.
