What’s said in this shiur

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

so last week as we were finishing pedegv chapter six we were rushing and as i was leaving somebody said oh we went so fast we didn't really get the whole different levels of clipper clipa was too fast so i said don't worry about it because we're going to be speaking now at length about the different levels of clipper in the following chapters following chapters so whatever we rushed through at the end of last week that was really an introduction to the concept and now we're going to have a more protracted explanation of these concepts namely the different levels of klippa but just to review just review how we got here last week in chapter six we were speaking about the inner makeup and the modes of expression of the animal soul expression of the animal soul and we're saying that they are just a mirror image of or an inversion of the inner makeup and modes of expression of the godly soul and then we spoke about what is the definition what is this inversion what is the definition of kedusha and what is the definition of sitra and we said kadusa is holiness is that which is battle to hashem that which is which is battle to hashem that which is surrendered and anything that isn't surrendered to hashem is sitra literally in aramaic the other side not surrendered and then we said but within sitra akhra or another byword we have for sutrachar is klippa shal husk there are gradations irredeemable and redeemable and the irredeemable are described as three utterly impure clip ice and then the redeemable one is called clipas noiga the shiny or luminescent clipper that's what we did last week sounds semi-familiar yeah yeah okay so now let's go to pedagogy okay chapter seven
