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.

here we go back into the tanya we're in the first pair of the heliconia in summary essentially what we're doing is we're trying to find our identity who am i what should be my inner self talk what should be the way that i look at myself what should be the way that i think about who i am and really we're asking the question of who am i in a profound way my body my soul in a profound way my body my soul my something in between really what am i who am i sometimes i feel excited about hashem sometimes i feel excited about other things so what's going on it's kind of a casual i don't know sometimes i'm excited about coming to chakras and sometimes the last thing i want to do is come to shoppers sometimes i'm excited about helping another person other times i'm only concerned about other times i'm only concerned about you know getting some pringles and just watching my homes or whatever it might be so there's like this battle inside of me and we're trying to understand who we really are the tanya to make it very simple is a blueprint of our spiritual anatomy to understand who am i it's the biology of my inner world and it's a very systematic logical approach to understanding your inner approach to understanding your inner self it's used by great psychologists and therapists and understanding human behavior and how we think and how we look at ourselves and really who we are and we asked the number of questions and this previous shugurum on this and then we got to the point where we the balatani explained there's really five types of people there's who has it good there's a sad who has it bad there's a russia that has it good
