okay this is our weekly Tanya class we've been going through meditations of Tanya primarily in chapters 41- 50 last week we did a med a meditation from chapter 44 there was another meditation from chapter 44 but I kind of mentioned it already and I'm not going to go back to it but you can rewatch that class if you so desire we're going to do what a class yeah it was it was yeah yeah okay chapter 45 is one of the shorter chapters of 45 is one of the shorter chapters of Tanya and I think what I'm going to do is just read straight through it I mean read it and translate it and with minimal explanation and then go back and do the meditation okay all right and before we begin okay so just a little review the purpose of what we call heos which We're translating here as meditation well first of all let me let me back up even before that he's buness me back up even before that he's buness is an activity that you do in your own head we're calling it meditation what is the goal the desired Target outcome of the hbos producing emotion producing an emotion great what are our two categories of emotions main love and great okay and then various grades and shoots and levels and it gets pretty and shoots and levels and it gets pretty uh detailed from there but the two main emotions are love and all love is the emotion that drives me to approach and get closer to my beloved or is the emotion that drives me back to shrink in a feeling of reverence or overwhelm today's meditation is a love meditation it is meant to produce love however it's a little bit tricky before
