What’s said in this shiur

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

so we left off in the kuzuri with the notion that profits are a different state of being than regular human beings regular human beings correct do you remember that because profits can do certain things their bodies can do certain things that our bodies cannot do which means that they are almost as a different species i say that metaphorically and really in this week's parsha we learn a very important principle spiritual entities that come into the physical world act physical world act physically and physical entities that enter the spiritual world act spiritually that's how it works so spiritual entities angels right the angels come to avraham avinu and they eat and they drink and they walk and they talk and they you know the whole thing right they act physical because they're answering the spiritual realms they no they enter the physical realm they have to behave according to realm they have to behave according to the rules down here if however one of us would enter in his physical state the spiritual realm then your body your physicality will begin acting spiritually so where do we learn that from moshe rebecca mosher urbain went up right he entered the spiritual realm the spiritual realm in physical form and there how long did he stay there 40 days and 40 days and 40 nights did he eat did he drink did he go to the bathroom did he take a nap did he sit did he stand all those things we we understand that once you enter the framework of the spiritual then we act differently so jews don't believe like we don't
