What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Moshe Chaim Katz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

about is just there's a meta- metaphysical reality Kamai Mapana Mapana that in the same way that I look into a body of water so the reflection will come back exactly back to me. So too, the way that I look at another human being, the way that I see them, the love that I exude to them the way that I see their goodness, their positivity and we spoke yesterday about people writing down the good things about people close to them. There's another way to make vessels and I'd like to see from a possuk in Bereishit happens to be Tucker Carlson's favorite chapter in the Bible Genesis 12. Yes. >> We went back to yesterday. So you were explaining that Kamai Mapana Mapana if you look positive at somebody that that creates a vessel? >> That starts transforming their vessels to then receive the light. If somebody feels like when you look at them that they they like you. >> Mhm. >> Because you're shining like I like you, you're a gishmack. You're a wonderful person. I see the goodness inside of you. So then I start shining back, you're a gishmack. I like you. I like the wonderful things about you. I'm now open to receive the or that you want to give. That's creating a vessel. It's interesting because it's like the or and the vessel happening together. There's an or of being mashpia feelings of light to somebody. But at the same time Kamai Mapana Mapana is like a yichud of or and vessels happening at the same time. Today there's something that I think is just a very pashut type of vessel and it's something that I think has to be appreciated. I first heard this shtikel Torah from Rav Aaron David of the mirror. He gave us Shalom Bayit shiurim. He's been doing it for the last 80 years.
