the ROM hondara Hashem brings down a lot of details you know and ultimately what the Rampal is speaking about is the plan is the the entire plan of equation you know part of the problem is when you learn around how or you learn anything that has a lot of details you get lost you get lost in the details you know and you get lost in the details you know and after a while you know just one detail after another that is loosely connected and you don't really see you know how its organized that's why in many ways it's critical to organize the material first as a map and then each area or idea or category you see them you see then you begin to realize that all the details really fit into category you see details really fit into category you see they fit into you know into major categories and then these categories organize the details differ what III to dude is that just as part of this because rom-coms really gonna go very much into detail the concept of judgment God's judgment and so on it's just to give you that you know really if you really think about it there are at least eight categories which are overall eight categories which are overall headings of which really all these details will really go under and that's really the best way to remember it you see so I'm gonna give you that like a map okay so the first idea topic category is called man and everything about him man means Jews non-jews you know but it actually means more than man it means entities or living forms right
