What’s said in this shiur

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

Good evening. In the last few times we have dealt with the divine help, the first three parts, the power of being [music] in the soul, the power of faith in the soul, and the power of pleasure. This week we will deal with the divine help, the fourth power, the power of will in its simplest form. The power of will can be power of will in its simplest form. The power of will can be detailed into very many things. A person will take a stick and paper and write down 50 things that he wants. Each of us is clear to him that he can continue to 51 and 52. And these, of course, we will come to rank the level of languages. They will not be equal in method, but it is clear that desires in a person are very many, desires in a person are very many, each one according to the multitude that exists from his shadow. But the desires in a person are many. So, apparently, the power of will in the soul determines it as the power of desires in the soul. And there are many desires. If we look deeply, however, at the root of the power of will, we will discover a unity among all desires. We mentioned the words of the book Creation mentioned the words of the book Creation last time. There is no pleasure in goodness above, and where is Barbara below? What gives rise to desire? Why does a person want? If there were no deficiency in a person, a person would not want. If a person were a complete, complete being? Absolute he did not have a reality called desire desire the root letters ran ran
