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

okay so we're on chapter four of tanya just to uh sum up so in chapter one we were asking a whole bunch of questions about satellite we didn't get any clarity yet we got a little clarity we found out that a bain-need doesn't do any evaders um not even bitter but as far as what's the difference between the benny what's the difference between the benny and the tsadek and the difference between albania and russia we're not really 100 percent uh clear and we said but you know the key to understanding this whole thing has to do with the shtana fascists the idea of two souls which is from the uh lyrianic kabbalah from kiswi arizal the name of rafhaim vital and we started speaking about the two souls in the end of chapter one we said there's an animal salt we didn't call it that yet but there's a vitalizing force um um this instinct for self-preservation and it has various different middles different uh emotional attributes some of them are negative and some of them are uh for all intents and purposes are are good uh because it's from clipas noiga it's not jealous clippers and timaeus and then chapter two we said there's this other persona called the nephisha shainis the second soul which is literally a part of god above even in a body and and that's called the naf shall accuse the godly soul and its instinct and drive is for oneness with hashem and that is our true truest self and then in chapter three we said let's get into the anatomy of this godly soul we said that the godly soul is comprised of ten capacities which mirror or uh reflect the ten spherois hashem's ten emanations
