What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
as requested we are now going to go into uh the safe der hashem the way of god that ram khao has written which in many ways provides a real basic understanding of the blueprint of creation which is really very important you know now what you see from the ram khal now what you see from the ram khal is that the all of creation has a blueprint in other words it's sort of like an architectural plan that everything has a reason why it is and there are many things to know uh when you're looking at you know what the reality is all about you know for instance first of all what are the things of reality are the things of reality and uh how are they arranged what are their characteristics and how are they interrelated how do they function and and so on this this reality this whole bria this whole um creation if that we want to call that concept of creation has an enormous amount of things in it and as such each thing that is in it and as such each thing that is in it is there for a specific purpose so the ramkha wrote a basic primer a basic safer on to explain the entire structure of this reality and it includes all kinds of all kinds of material now what is interesting is that he starts off the safer is that he starts off the safer in his introduction it doesn't start off with the hash kafa with the actual understanding of the blueprint itself he starts off with an understanding of thinking or how to arrive at true knowledge you see this is something that really we should really come to understand
