Your Mind Should be in the Driver's Seat (Tanya)

What’s said in this shiur

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

okay here we are in the tanya and we're speaking about an amazing idea which is the unity of all the souls in the world and we gave an unbelievable analogy and of course we're talking about things that are conceptual they're allegorical but we use analogies with things that we relate to to help us better connect to more to help us better connect to more profound allegorical concepts and we're trying to understand the question which is if we all come so to speak from god's thoughts that's the source of the soul in the same way that a father when he gives birth to a child so the child comes not only from the lower area but the child begins in the thoughts of the father that's an analogy that's an allegory that's a muscle that when hashem hashem creates the soul the godly soul it's coming out of the thought of hashem the father and it's expressing itself in the entirety of the soul of humanity of adam and we said if we all come out of the soul of god's mind and hashem and his mind are one how do you have a delineation of souls and we explain in the same way that when a father gives birth to a child so this the child
