What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Yet, this whole entire idea of creation and us and him is is this idea of relationship and connection. So, it's all boils down to one thing. And that is reaching essence. Reaching the thing that comes before Reaching the thing that comes before that thing which came before that thing which started everything. And that is essence. God's essence and ultimately our own essence. And when essence >> [clears throat] >> comes together our essence and God's essence that's where eternity lies. That's where we go beyond time and beyond everything. That's that's an unbelievable place that we have to reach. But before we can reach that place, we have to start with an inward journey. An inward journey to an inward journey. An inward journey to find our own essence because it's covered up. And this is the secret of what God says to Abraham. He says "Lech lecha. Go to yourself." Go to yourself. If you are you, then you're already there. The answer is the you that you are is not so simple. We are at least just schizophrenic with at least two friends that we carry with us everywhere. I have four. They're shy. The end they're going to speak. But basically we are we're multifaceted
