00:00:09
good evening, dear guests, we are pleased to
00:00:12
welcome you to our lecture today,
00:00:16
I would like to remind you that this
00:00:18
lecture is part of our series of
00:00:21
Jews in response and on
00:00:23
your website you can find
00:00:24
additional information about what
00:00:27
other lectures are in this series, which ones
00:00:29
are coming or find which ones were
00:00:32
watch them on YouTube and because
00:00:34
we record and post all the lectures,
00:00:36
today I am pleased to present our
00:00:41
guest today, philologist and religion
00:00:44
Vienna editor and translator,
00:00:47
who will tell us today about bondage
00:00:54
1 time thanks to the staff of the Jewish
00:00:58
Museum for the opportunity to give a lecture about the
00:01:01
most a mystical lecture, I also
00:01:05
cannot promise that this will be the most
00:01:06
mystical lecture in your life, but
00:01:09
moreover, speaking on a larger scale,
00:01:13
we can generally do without the word
00:01:15
mysticism,
00:01:16
but this is exactly where I propose to start
00:01:19
our conversation, namely, to discuss precisely the
00:01:23
relation to these concepts of mysticism and Kabbalah
00:01:27
let's start with mysticism the title of my lecture
00:01:30
for me personally has one clear
00:01:32
literary connotation,
00:01:34
namely the association
00:01:40
means a black Normandy session with the
00:01:42
subsequent exposure of the master
00:01:44
Margarita Bulgakova how to accomplish everything
00:01:47
he arrives in Moscow under the guise of a
00:01:49
foreign professor in order to also
00:01:53
roughly read the most a mystical
00:01:55
lecture to look at the Muscovites, to give
00:01:57
them a head, and what happens on
00:02:00
stage, credits in Bulgakov’s novel, we
00:02:03
can easily call it mysticism, that is,
00:02:05
something incomprehensible and mysterious to remember, there
00:02:09
appears some money that is
00:02:11
distributed from the stage, and there they distribute from
00:02:14
the stage, or foreign wine goods which
00:02:17
then everything turns into tabbouleh and
00:02:19
spiders,
00:02:21
which means we understand exactly how he was
00:02:24
doing his tricks and the only thing we know is
00:02:28
that this scene has several
00:02:30
literary sources and goes back to an
00:02:35
equally famous scene from the students file
00:02:40
which is called after the Auerbach cellar in
00:02:43
Leipzig in this cellar Faust, who
00:02:47
has just signed an agreement with the black
00:02:49
Mephistopheles, appears to have fun
00:02:52
not just the two of us and Mephistopheles sings
00:02:57
wine to the visitors of 2 visitors, which pours directly from
00:03:00
the table, and he pours out to everyone what he
00:03:02
wants, someone from the Rhine, someone from
00:03:04
the champagne and then sends all these
00:03:09
visitors, which means wine cellar
00:03:13
to the Garden of Eden and invites us to
00:03:16
have fun, offer them to enjoy
00:03:19
some incredible beauty of this
00:03:21
Garden of Eden, the
00:03:25
story is like a cartoon about they do all these
00:03:27
tricks purely out of love for art,
00:03:31
simply because they have
00:03:33
supernatural abilities about the
00:03:34
case of Woland and Mephistopheles, the witches are
00:03:37
natural because but they are there devils have
00:03:40
diabolical abilities until it’s a sin
00:03:42
from time to time not to use these abilities,
00:03:45
but in these two scenes in
00:03:49
Mother Margarita and The Waves and Faust Coming we
00:03:53
are described in the case of a collision of the public
00:03:56
with well-venous, that is, some force, an
00:03:59
action that absolutely contradicts
00:04:02
any empirical experience in
00:04:06
both cases the public, both Moscow and
00:04:08
German, will get away with a collision with
00:04:11
us, but we know it’s quite a slight fright,
00:04:14
and they’re just fooling their heads, really, as we
00:04:16
remember in Bulgakov’s novel, however, one
00:04:19
head is removed from the shoulders,
00:04:20
well, after the end of the session, the head
00:04:23
returns to its place and the German pinch
00:04:25
ears get off completely a slight fright
00:04:27
there, some kind of glow, whirling, and so on,
00:04:30
and the general collective mystical
00:04:35
experience is exhausted, which cannot be said
00:04:37
about individual experience, as we remember from
00:04:39
Goethe’s Faust and the master in
00:04:42
Bulgakov’s novel, consciously looking for a collision
00:04:45
with us, but we know I show impatience
00:04:48
that is characteristic of the present a mystic,
00:04:50
however, it is curious that their tragedies and in the novel
00:04:53
so popular in Russia by us
00:04:58
but knowing reveals
00:04:59
himself as a hero in the form of the devil’s features
00:05:02
and if God sends the devil this to the earth
00:05:05
as his old friend
00:05:09
with whom he from time to time likes to
00:05:11
talk and chat, then with whom God
00:05:14
gods, you can’t hear any pain at all, and
00:05:16
Moscow looks like some kind of rather
00:05:18
abandoned, backward place, residents
00:05:21
who don’t believe in God or the devil and
00:05:23
live like themselves somewhere on the outskirts of
00:05:25
this complex Judeo-Christian
00:05:28
construction in which the devil performs
00:05:30
such a significant supporting link which the devil is a
00:05:34
supporting link and a significant element you do
00:05:37
n’t have to choose damn the devil as
00:05:40
Marina Tsvetaeva said someone needs
00:05:42
a stylite someone is a rogue it’s not up to us to
00:05:44
decide in any case we are talking about a
00:05:46
real high-quality meeting with someone else
00:05:50
I’m only saying this so that, well,
00:05:53
- firstly, the people have gathered and secondly,
00:05:55
it means that it still has nothing to do with more or
00:05:57
less to do with what I
00:05:59
will talk about next to show that
00:06:02
in the Russian language
00:06:03
we understand very different things,
00:06:06
in fact,
00:06:07
we are in the back of the country, you are something an incomprehensible
00:06:09
supernatural thing that happens to us,
00:06:11
that is, mysticism comes to us from another
00:06:14
country, this is some individual experience of
00:06:16
communication with something that goes beyond the scope of
00:06:18
any experience, I say here the word by us
00:06:21
but knows a very convenient word, it was
00:06:23
invented by the German theologian
00:06:25
Rudolf von and indeed this is a very
00:06:29
good reason for a collision to
00:06:31
indicate a collision with a reality
00:06:33
that simply cannot
00:06:35
exist and does not exist and yet it exists, which
00:06:38
means you can also recall
00:06:43
Jung’s definition which defines us but knowing
00:06:46
says that we but knows and
00:06:47
some dynamic existence or
00:06:49
you are you are not associated with an arbitrary
00:06:51
March, and even on the contrary, such an influence
00:06:53
captures and takes possession of a pure subject
00:06:56
who is most likely a victim on the
00:06:58
venousness they are to its creators but mines
00:07:02
but why weren’t you its reason is a
00:07:04
condition of the existence of the subject
00:07:05
regardless of his will by us but he himself
00:07:07
is or the amount of any a
00:07:10
visible object or the influence of an
00:07:12
invisible force that causes particularly
00:07:13
changes in consciousness is a
00:07:14
rather complex definition, but why are they
00:07:17
telling us here that if we
00:07:20
are talking about mysticism, and even when confronted with
00:07:22
something incomprehensible, it is clear that we go
00:07:24
beyond the boundaries of our own experience, which
00:07:27
means this is what concerns mysticism.
00:07:30
Kabbalah
00:07:32
or parade us from the literal meaning of
00:07:35
the word Kabbalah is the receipt of a tradition
00:07:39
of no mysticism, there is a lot of
00:07:42
definition of what a priest is and I
00:07:45
like the definition most of all
00:07:47
that is given by the nameless
00:07:50
Russian mason who is keen on studying Kabbalah at the end of the
00:07:53
18th century, we find it in Masonic
00:07:55
manuscripts that are contained in the hands of
00:08:02
to us in the hall of the Russian State
00:08:04
Library and so he says Kabbalah
00:08:06
this book and not the book of knowledge madness
00:08:10
madness in times two different words nothing and
00:08:13
nothing anywhere and everywhere well, here is one of the
00:08:17
definitions I think that if you came
00:08:19
to the lecture while bowen where you also heard
00:08:21
what it is Kabbalah I would like to listen
00:08:23
maybe to the audience, especially since we are
00:08:25
more or less gathered, I have some ideas,
00:08:27
I can give you a microphone,
00:08:32
but it’s very difficult for me, I feel like I’m
00:08:39
naked, and it’s very difficult with Muscovites and
00:08:41
Muscovites don’t want to talk to
00:08:43
the lecturer, in short, that means, well,
00:08:47
really no no ideas on because
00:08:50
this is Kabbalah means I will have to what is
00:09:00
this some separate narrow
00:09:02
direction of what we call
00:09:04
Jewish and behind tourism to designate
00:09:07
all Jewish esotericism there is
00:09:10
a definition there is a term tarot that satellite is
00:09:12
glad and not start there is a secret teaching
00:09:14
secret knowledge this definition is broader the
00:09:17
concept of Kabbalah means and includes
00:09:23
this arata soda esotericism Jewish
00:09:26
it includes very different
00:09:28
directions of mysticism philosophy theosophy
00:09:32
tour and mother magic and in this tradition of tarot
00:09:36
tasot one can distinguish several currents that
00:09:39
claim to have this Soviet
00:09:42
knowledge of the deity or are based on
00:09:45
intense truly mystical
00:09:47
experience, one of these movements, this Kabbalah,
00:09:50
Kabbalah in the narrow sense of the word does not
00:09:52
mean to everyone all manifestations of Jewish
00:09:55
mysticism, money esotericism, and so on, no
00:09:57
Kabbalah in the narrow sense of the word
00:10:00
appears at the turn of the 12th - 13th centuries in
00:10:05
France and Germany in the depressions, the community of
00:10:09
France in Germany is Indeed, the
00:10:12
Jewish secret teaching is that this is
00:10:15
Kabbalah, firstly the word itself appears,
00:10:18
this is Kabbalah dadu of this, this word is not
00:10:21
used in this meaning,
00:10:23
but is used simply as a word of tradition,
00:10:25
and secondly, the appearance of Kabbalah marks the
00:10:29
appearance of the teaching of the Sefirot, the teachings of the sphere,
00:10:34
respectively, to give 10 10 stages of
00:10:37
emanation within deities outside
00:10:40
deities
00:10:41
10 some no bridge between God
00:10:44
and the world 10 qualities by God and so on,
00:10:48
what spheres are is defined in very different ways,
00:10:51
but with the appearance of this word in
00:10:54
Jewish texts, and moreover, there are a lot of these doughs
00:10:57
at once, that is, they
00:10:58
appear suddenly and their number
00:11:02
directly increases there
00:11:04
every year with every century, with
00:11:08
the advent of this word we can talk
00:11:10
about the emergence of our own Kabbalah
00:11:11
in the narrow sense of the word, this is a purely
00:11:14
technical definition of the
00:11:16
beginnings and before we actually move on
00:11:19
to talking about Kabbalah, in the narrow sense of
00:11:21
this word I would like to clarify
00:11:24
exactly what and how the Jewish
00:11:27
esoteric tradition is busy as a whole, what is
00:11:29
interesting to the bearer of this tradition and what
00:11:32
leaves them completely indifferent;
00:11:35
of course, take the tradition is nothing more
00:11:39
than a detailed commentary on the
00:11:40
biblical text,
00:11:42
but what exactly is in the brilliant text and
00:11:45
why does this commentary take
00:11:47
such specific forms? other
00:11:50
questions on this should be answered,
00:11:54
which means, but I still want an answer in
00:11:57
the audience, I understand what Kabbalah is, you
00:11:59
may not know because you came to a
00:12:00
lecture on Ebola, but what is next, that’s what
00:12:03
I’ll ask, everyone knows, I’ll
00:12:05
ask you two describe in words
00:12:08
what is what the
00:12:10
Hebrew Bible is,
00:12:12
imagine washing
00:12:14
the vests
00:12:15
this is a novel about love this is a play of love
00:12:20
Don Quixote over in equally crazy tiida
00:12:23
league let's clink glasses on chivalric novels what
00:12:26
is the Hebrew Bible tones in a
00:12:28
nutshell can anyone tell me quickly
00:12:36
instructions how to live also
00:12:42
the history of the Jews something the history of the creation of
00:12:53
the world the history of the relationship between God and
00:12:55
man to the last set of books the Torah the
00:13:03
prophets scripture of course you can’t argue with this
00:13:06
but I’m asking about the essence,
00:13:08
well, another question in essence what
00:13:12
is the Hebrew Bible in a nutshell
00:13:17
God frank text thank you, then I will
00:13:22
offer you my very short
00:13:23
definition of what the Jewish
00:13:25
Bible is, while of course, when we
00:13:27
try to define it in two words, the text is
00:13:29
quite voluminous, but it is clear that
00:13:31
each definition is legitimate, but it is
00:13:34
important for me to say what will happen next is
00:13:36
very important for Jewish mysticism, which
00:13:41
means in my opinion tones, all tones, or the
00:13:46
Jewish Bible, yes, this book that
00:13:49
talks about one thing, it actually
00:13:51
tells us about the love between God and
00:13:53
one specific beloved people chosen by him,
00:13:57
you will object to me that well, there are a
00:14:00
significant number of texts here that are
00:14:01
not dedicated to this, I can say no, all
00:14:04
this is a preface even the creation of the world is
00:14:06
absolutely a preface to the history of this
00:14:09
love, love is very strange and yet
00:14:13
it rises in this book in this book
00:14:15
absolutely not in a romantic way
00:14:18
let’s give the floor to the biblical
00:14:20
text itself which tells us love is strong as
00:14:23
death Lithuania is like hell
00:14:25
jealousy arrows and fiery arrows and above
00:14:28
you are very strong, big waters
00:14:30
cannot extinguish love and rivers will not flood it with
00:14:33
water very famous quotes from the song
00:14:35
of songs
00:14:36
everything and the song of the song was perceived in no way as a
00:14:38
love text or some kind of marriage text,
00:14:41
but how to
00:14:43
say so, a very accurate description of the
00:14:46
relationship between God and the Jews
00:14:50
means all Jewish the Bible, in my
00:14:53
opinion, it is important to say the connection with
00:14:55
Jewish mysticism is nothing more than a
00:14:57
description of a very strange, painful,
00:14:59
difficult relationship between the Jewish
00:15:02
people and God, who acts as a
00:15:04
powerful, furious transcendental and for some reason at
00:15:07
the same time loving non-
00:15:09
Jewish people, inexplicably his love is
00:15:11
absolutely inexplicable just like the
00:15:13
inexplicable love there Let's say it's
00:15:16
inexplicable why, for example, the clerks, yes, a
00:15:18
good character from the police department is bad, yes,
00:15:22
no, there are none, in fact, the explanation is
00:15:25
1 is loved and the other is not loved, why the father
00:15:27
loves Joseph,
00:15:28
all the other brothers love less,
00:15:30
approximately the same is described, we can
00:15:35
find, we can think of, yes, but in reality
00:15:38
we know how this happens in the life of one
00:15:40
child, you love more, it’s terrible, but
00:15:42
it’s so, that is, how can you
00:15:45
know it for yourself then logically, well,
00:15:47
first, it means the cabal in this case is wider than the
00:15:52
Jewish esoteric tradition, it’s
00:15:54
absolutely grandiose in its volume,
00:15:56
it’s really millions of pages of
00:15:57
text and tension trying to describe
00:16:02
the motivation of the concept to write the motivation and
00:16:05
internal state of a being whose
00:16:07
presence of absence is perceived
00:16:10
equally painfully remember what the
00:16:13
gods said in the Torah you cannot see me
00:16:16
and not die and stay alive
00:16:18
but how many sleeps on the page how many lines are
00:16:22
simultaneously
00:16:23
illuminated by complaints that God has abandoned
00:16:25
his people there is no God at all 44 the psalm by me of a
00:16:30
mass of other texts, very
00:16:33
biblical in the text, describes to us the
00:16:36
complex dynamics of trauma, a traumatic
00:16:39
relationship very similar between God and his
00:16:41
people, and if at the beginning God is ready
00:16:45
to speak with people, walk among them, then
00:16:48
gradually the right to speak to God, the transition to a
00:16:50
prophet, then a person completely losing the
00:16:52
possibility of direct contact with the
00:16:54
deity, but as a rule, oddly enough, with a notable
00:16:57
exception, a significant
00:16:59
exception, and which we also say
00:17:01
today, a person does not strive for this
00:17:05
contact again, he does not strive to find
00:17:07
it at his feet, but is ready to endlessly only
00:17:13
reflect on the topic of how it was, how
00:17:16
it would be his why was it 1000 pages of
00:17:19
Kabbalistic texts devoted to the
00:17:22
peculiarities of the relationship between Jews and
00:17:26
God, the peculiarities of some processes
00:17:28
that took place inside God, but all
00:17:30
this was when all this was once a
00:17:33
very long time ago, when prophecies still existed
00:17:35
or when the tank was not
00:17:37
completed, and so on when -that means in ancient
00:17:39
ancient times,
00:17:42
and well, I’ll say a rather radical
00:17:46
thing, probably there are specialists in the schemes of
00:17:49
Jewish mysticism, not everyone
00:17:51
will agree with me to argue with me every year, but Kabbalah in
00:17:53
its main volume is more likely the
00:17:55
study of mysticism and imitation of mysticism
00:17:58
than mysticism itself,
00:18:00
that is, it is not the way to achieve some
00:18:04
contact with the deity is the nerves of
00:18:07
memories of this contact, which means it’s
00:18:13
clear again, I’m saying that there
00:18:15
is an exception to this rule, today we will
00:18:16
just read a text that is a clear
00:18:18
exception to this, but this does not negate
00:18:22
what I want to say about the trauma of contact
00:18:25
with us, but We know that a very specific
00:18:28
experience of trauma means, besides, this is a
00:18:33
grandiose attempt to embody
00:18:37
something that cannot be simplified except in
00:18:39
letters and in text, and this is another important
00:18:42
point about which I also want to say
00:18:44
in advance, the Bible is full of
00:18:47
various instructions and prohibitions, but there is one among
00:18:50
them the most important, which in many ways determined the entire
00:18:52
Jewish culture, namely, who
00:18:55
would tell me a ban that could say that
00:18:59
Jewish culture was crippled and
00:19:01
I defined it, determined everything that
00:19:03
would be formed later, and how Jewish
00:19:05
culture is, of course, a ban on
00:19:09
the image of a deity, but imagine
00:19:13
what Italy would look like if if
00:19:15
Christians had inherited this ban
00:19:18
from the Jews, that is, just this country according to
00:19:21
it, well, this one that we now
00:19:23
know is a very strict ban and the entire
00:19:28
Jewish esoteric teaching is a series of
00:19:30
more or less successful attempts,
00:19:32
imagine representing God, his external
00:19:35
appearance, his inner life, himself not at the same time,
00:19:37
resorting to the help of no
00:19:41
artistic means except the word but not
00:19:44
literature, again, except for the word and
00:19:46
hermeneutics, they did
00:19:47
not teach what kind of art more
00:19:51
means the god who is brought out by [ __ ], he is
00:19:54
fundamentally not embodied, we do not embody
00:19:56
him, he cannot be seen, he cannot be depicted,
00:19:58
but for the fact that what can be done with him
00:20:02
in general, the only channel remaining
00:20:04
between God and man, in fact, well, words are
00:20:09
just words down and this is the only thing that
00:20:15
truly unites God and man,
00:20:17
speech is the word God is a great actor, but
00:20:21
he acts only by speech, he speaks to
00:20:23
becomes, of course we don’t know how
00:20:26
this happens, our speech does not
00:20:28
implies the appearance of things, although
00:20:30
this can also be argued, but at the same time,
00:20:33
his speech and our speech are one and the
00:20:37
same thing up to 50 the same words are the
00:20:40
same language and in which how we
00:20:45
use it and here we can remember very a
00:20:48
successful quote from Rosenzweig Rosenzweig, a
00:20:51
non-Jewish philosopher of the 20th century, so
00:20:53
famous from his book The Star The Star of
00:20:56
Salvation, which was recently published in
00:20:57
Russian,
00:20:58
he writes that the paths of God and the paths of man are
00:21:01
completely different, but the words that both
00:21:04
God and man use are the
00:21:05
same and the same words, noting the
00:21:08
man who a person hears within
00:21:10
himself how human speech
00:21:12
comes from the mouth of God, that is, everything from the gate
00:21:15
is completely remembered as the main
00:21:18
evidence of God as his speech and at the same time
00:21:20
as a description of the inner life of the
00:21:22
majority and the complex dynamics within a
00:21:25
living being and the text at the same time in
00:21:29
general, in addition to the fact that experience love between
00:21:32
God and his people, the
00:21:33
experience of communicating with us, but it turned out to be
00:21:36
very traumatic for us, to overcome this trauma is
00:21:39
also offered in a very
00:21:41
specific way, that is, only
00:21:44
through those so many through comments on the
00:21:46
text of the Torah, which in itself
00:21:49
is generally perceived as a living dynamic
00:21:51
testimony of the deity
00:22:00
and the third
00:22:03
probably an important note, so to speak, in
00:22:06
connection with the conversation we are talking about Kabbalah and to more
00:22:08
mysticism that you need to do
00:22:11
before you start
00:22:14
talking about Kabbalah, you need to say
00:22:17
that there are very different approaches to
00:22:21
ballet and to Jewish mysticism in general,
00:22:23
there is a traditional approach that
00:22:29
actually still there is a carrier and a
00:22:32
color and up to in Jerusalem or there in
00:22:36
New York you can talk with those
00:22:39
for whom Kabbalah is still a
00:22:41
living true
00:22:42
yes that is far to go own and the brother
00:22:44
who receives us here yes he is
00:22:45
entirely based on to it is more
00:22:49
clear that this tradition had some
00:22:53
important stages of development there was an early
00:22:56
stage
00:22:57
which is associated with the biblical apocrypha
00:23:00
pseudo epigraphs of my literature of the
00:23:02
palaces there was a medieval tap it up
00:23:06
dollar figure books the radiance of the most important
00:23:08
Kabbalistic text there was a
00:23:11
Svan stage up to 16 up which also
00:23:14
implies some new forms of
00:23:16
appearance Kabbalah and so on, a breath of
00:23:19
Hasidism and right up to some kind of
00:23:22
mystical Zionism Kuka is a long
00:23:26
Kabbalah or tamgas of Brest, the mysticism of its
00:23:28
sharply mystical tradition has come a
00:23:29
long way, about, say,
00:23:32
two centuries, although the bearers of the tradition themselves
00:23:37
attribute some of the first Kabbalistic texts to the patriarch, that is, they read
00:23:40
that the tradition of Kabbalah is at least
00:23:43
4000 years old, this is not a traditional approach,
00:23:48
it implies some understanding
00:23:50
of what a ballad is, that this is
00:23:53
really secret knowledge,
00:23:54
since quite late,
00:23:57
approximately the 18th century, it is not recommended to
00:23:59
deal with mystical texts of such a
00:24:03
mystical nature for people under 40
00:24:06
years of age, names should women
00:24:09
study them or somehow practice them, and so
00:24:12
on, there are a lot of prohibitions and a lot of
00:24:13
ideas about what this
00:24:15
represents, but this is only one of the
00:24:18
possible approaches to more, which means
00:24:22
quite early on, such a
00:24:26
thing appears called Christian bondage on the
00:24:28
15th century of Renaissance Italy,
00:24:32
circles arise for intellectuals who are very
00:24:34
actively also interested in
00:24:36
ballistic texts, we also talk
00:24:38
about this, and for them the priest seems to be something
00:24:43
completely different than for the Jews
00:24:45
who study bondage, which
00:24:49
began for them, the cube is the most ancient teaching,
00:24:53
the oldest part of the Hermetic tradition,
00:24:56
which goes back directly one
00:24:58
atom receives it in heaven,
00:25:02
all these figures of the Renaissance they are ready to
00:25:05
say a big thank you to the Jew for
00:25:07
keeping this tradition pure
00:25:09
for the fact that they carried it out well Dalida,
00:25:13
but for the peasantry, on the contrary, it was
00:25:15
then not for this tradition different there, let’s
00:25:18
say different somehow
00:25:23
misunderstood incorrectly i.e. in a church not in
00:25:26
a country, it is much worse; this is precisely what
00:25:28
explains the interest of
00:25:32
Italian and then German
00:25:34
English scientists in Jewish ballistic
00:25:37
texts, which means this is another approach
00:25:39
that gives rise to the following approach, so to speak,
00:25:43
already in the 18th century, the first
00:25:47
scientific publications about Kabbalah appeared, the first
00:25:49
scientific interest in
00:25:52
science deals with more than, of course, the length of
00:25:55
your attribution of the text, an attempt to understand such an
00:25:59
independent in well, as if from the entire sphere of
00:26:01
the mystical out of the window, here the
00:26:04
question of intertextuality becomes important,
00:26:07
before the influence of one text on another, the
00:26:09
influence of external traditions, bondage, and so
00:26:11
on, that is, this is a completely different
00:26:13
complex questions, there is another approach, the
00:26:18
approach of occultism,
00:26:23
which is now speech that has already inherited from it,
00:26:27
that is, this is also a fairly
00:26:30
important European tradition of the perception of
00:26:33
Kabbalistic texts
00:26:35
when they are built in, they are already very
00:26:38
far from the Jewish
00:26:40
originals there, but they are built into such a
00:26:43
harmonious system,
00:26:46
starting from Masonic texts of the 18th century and
00:26:50
until today, something
00:26:54
may not even be possible to
00:26:55
demonstrate to you today on this topic, which
00:26:59
means these are different approaches to ballet,
00:27:03
these are three preliminary remarks
00:27:05
that I did not want to make before
00:27:08
actually talking about more
00:27:10
and ballistic text specifically, I
00:27:13
want to talk about one specific text
00:27:16
because I always love to
00:27:19
read texts, oddly enough, which in the
00:27:24
narrow sense is not ballistic,
00:27:26
but serves as the key to this
00:27:28
tradition and I want to tell, as it were, the
00:27:32
adventures of this text within
00:27:34
these approaches then there is, I want to show
00:27:37
how this text was perceived by
00:27:39
traditional Jews, Christian
00:27:42
Kabbalists and Renaissance scientists,
00:27:45
what is interesting in it for science,
00:27:48
what is interesting in it for occultists and
00:27:51
what is interesting I don’t go to this text,
00:27:55
which means this text and the history of its reception
00:27:59
of perception gives us the best possible
00:28:02
understanding features of Jewish esotericism,
00:28:04
its weaknesses and strengths, its
00:28:06
power and helplessness, and
00:28:09
we are talking about an officer, no, please
00:28:13
hand, well, who has heard at least this
00:28:14
name, but or read, well, what should I
00:28:17
navigate
00:28:18
to understand how much to read exactly, in
00:28:20
fact, a lot is clear, yes
00:28:22
thanks
00:28:23
for the cheat,
00:28:25
maybe you remember that the ancient
00:28:28
philosophers were very concerned about finding 1
00:28:32
elements, what’s in there, well, it’s useful when
00:28:36
they said that the first element or the first
00:28:38
matter is waterproof, that fire
00:28:40
Aristotle called the five elements, so on and so forth, so
00:28:42
in this book everything is
00:28:45
Fritz Ira The issue of the first
00:28:48
enzymes and about matter is also discussed, what do you
00:28:51
think from the point of view of the Jews was the
00:28:53
first element 1 element, well, an analogue,
00:28:57
so to speak, of the fresco water or
00:29:00
fire of the Stoics, and those who have not read this book
00:29:05
can guess that it follows from what
00:29:08
I have already said the world is not
00:29:11
fire there is no once again almost a word a letter a
00:29:21
letter becomes the first element a letter
00:29:25
and language which in the text is understood not
00:29:28
just as the
00:29:29
first element but also as a
00:29:31
universal mediator between God and
00:29:33
man because everything in the world
00:29:36
in general is only the speech of God this is his
00:29:39
story everything all of us, in general, it was all a
00:29:43
very powerful idea, a very powerful Khidush, as the
00:29:46
Jews say, and some very powerful
00:29:48
innovations, which in many ways, in
00:29:51
general, both Jewish and European
00:29:54
esotericism of this entire tradition and,
00:29:57
oddly enough, continues to influence us to
00:29:59
this day, which I will try to show in general
00:30:03
saying this is a book well, remember
00:30:05
the name of the site literature book creation this is
00:30:08
one of
00:30:09
their influential books written by Jews
00:30:11
maybe 2 or 3 after the Bible that is,
00:30:14
this is in general a very, very
00:30:16
significant text on the cheat stand
00:30:24
is a commentary on the first chapter of the book of
00:30:26
Genesis which we are told about the
00:30:28
creation of the world,
00:30:30
the text has reached us in 3 editions, short,
00:30:33
medium and complete, even in the largest
00:30:36
edition, this text contains only
00:30:38
two thousand words,
00:30:39
which is actually very well, that is, this is a
00:30:41
very small treatise on the line, and as I
00:30:46
already said in this The treatise contains the
00:30:49
doctrine of the creation of the world of human time
00:30:51
through the Hebrew alphabet and 10
00:30:55
mystical workshop numbers of the Sephiroth,
00:30:58
the word is first used here, then for
00:31:02
many centuries of the Jewish tradition it is
00:31:04
forgotten, and now it actually
00:31:06
begins to be actively used at the turn of the 12th - 13th
00:31:09
centuries, researchers note that perhaps it is
00:31:14
laconicism that is very the multiplicity and
00:31:18
mystical
00:31:19
intentionally dark content of this text
00:31:23
contributes to its promotion of
00:31:26
such incredible interest in it for
00:31:32
centuries,
00:31:33
the officer served as the main textbook on
00:31:37
cosmogony for Jewish philosophers and
00:31:40
a lot of philosophical comments were written on it,
00:31:42
I refer you to, for example, well,
00:31:44
one quite famous one is the
00:31:46
commentary and the thin galleries in book
00:31:49
body such a well-known text in which the
00:31:53
issue of the adoption of isma by the
00:31:55
Khazar king is discussed in the meantime
00:31:57
and will be preserved.
00:32:11
let's talk there are magical
00:32:13
comments
00:32:14
there are comments by Christian
00:32:16
Kabbalists also not given in Russian
00:32:19
and there is a comment below yes
00:32:24
there is a lot of evidence of the use of
00:32:27
this book in TV series pictures in
00:32:33
texts too and we will look at one of them
00:32:37
today means as I promised you I
00:32:42
will try to show what exactly is in this
00:32:44
book interested in different approaches, different
00:32:47
representatives to different approaches to more,
00:32:52
which is primarily of interest to scientists,
00:32:55
but in the first place, the time of creation of this text,
00:32:58
tradition attributes it to Abraham both, well, that
00:33:02
is, our father Abraham is called
00:33:06
oki-j good, both well, that is, the letters of
00:33:09
Abraham and Abraham and
00:33:13
means well Abraham lived approximately I think in the
00:33:17
nineteenth century BC, that is, the
00:33:20
tradition of reading the text is quite ancient,
00:33:23
judging by the linguistic data, the text
00:33:26
is written in Hebrew and it is written in Hebrew,
00:33:29
which is very close to the Mishnah, which
00:33:33
means that the text was created somewhere around the
00:33:36
2nd 3rd century AD era that is, well, there is a big
00:33:40
difference,
00:33:43
also what interests scientists is the
00:33:46
obvious influence that these
00:33:49
birds have in this text and among the books that
00:33:52
influenced it or that are close to
00:33:55
it are called Greek magical
00:33:57
papyri, Gnostic treatise pestis
00:33:59
Sophia,
00:34:01
sermons of pseudo-Clement, and so on,
00:34:05
Jewish also some Jewish
00:34:07
texts earlier than about the same time
00:34:10
mystical texts means the most
00:34:14
likely most likely it
00:34:16
seems that the text was written in the
00:34:19
second or third maybe the fourth
00:34:21
century of the new era in Palestine literate
00:34:24
so we clean them up by a Jew usually
00:34:28
with knowledge in the field of
00:34:30
mysticism and maybe in the field magic,
00:34:33
first of all, because the early
00:34:36
perception of this text in the tradition is
00:34:38
exactly what it was, it was sat to be perceived
00:34:41
as a magical text, the text begins with
00:34:46
the fact that we are told that the Almighty
00:34:49
created the world in thirty-two wonderful
00:34:50
ways, by which the author understands the
00:34:55
ten sefirot already mentioned, it fell into
00:34:58
60 places times and 22 letters of the Hebrew
00:35:01
alphabet on read 10 numbers or 10
00:35:06
infinite property rza ten sefirot are
00:35:09
associated with the beginning and the end of good and evil
00:35:13
from the six dimensions of space the gray
00:35:16
sky the east and the depth and height,
00:35:20
moreover, it is said that the end and is embedded
00:35:23
in their beginnings their beginning their end 1
00:35:26
rotates into another,
00:35:27
so they form some
00:35:30
fundamental unity different from the
00:35:33
unity of the creator,
00:35:34
which means, well, so to speak, not to be
00:35:37
unfounded, I’ll read a little to you in
00:35:40
the text, it’s very short, I’ll read
00:35:43
maybe the first chapter or part 1 of
00:35:46
these heads before I read
00:35:50
to me I still need to drink, maybe there are
00:35:52
some questions right now,
00:35:54
questions of objections, yes, let’s go ahead
00:36:01
and the question is whether there is a Jew and traditions, it does
00:36:09
n’t fundamentally depart from what
00:36:11
visual means, but in many
00:36:14
books,
00:36:17
visual symbolism is still more used, there are
00:36:19
light colors, gates of color, there are different
00:36:22
gradations of color the visual
00:36:24
component is present here and
00:36:27
developed as it is commented on in the
00:36:30
texts and well, some comments on this
00:36:32
matter, it is
00:36:34
clear that we have a ban on the rosary
00:36:38
on the image of a deity and it is clear that it is
00:36:41
absolutely fair and what we have
00:36:43
with this image of the sefirot are
00:36:46
economic ones, bring 10 circles there 1 1
00:36:50
cuts from another and then are
00:36:52
these diagrams of the sefirot endlessly into
00:36:54
graphic images that are
00:36:57
absolutely not humanoid, there is no
00:37:00
wallpaper, there is no prohibition in any way, that is,
00:37:04
graphics please, moreover, but we
00:37:06
know about book graphics Jews in vain window and
00:37:09
Jewish book illustrations where they are still
00:37:11
depicted animals that, in
00:37:13
theory, should not be depicted in some of
00:37:15
them, the faces are blurred out,
00:37:16
we know the asiman of loon painting, that
00:37:19
is, well, there were some images, that
00:37:21
is, but this ban is strict on the
00:37:23
depiction of a deity, here God is not
00:37:24
depicted at all, the wife, as if the diagrams are
00:37:27
possible, you shouldn’t exaggerate them, not
00:37:29
so a lot, that is, we can’t say that we
00:37:32
open every ballistic book
00:37:35
or manuscript, there will definitely be
00:37:36
some kind of diagram, no, it’s just that when
00:37:39
books on Kabbalah are published by law,
00:37:40
this is a technical thing, do you understand, you
00:37:43
need to illustrate the text with something and that
00:37:45
’s why these diagrams are so to speak
00:37:47
visually familiar, there are still some questions
00:37:49
at the moment,
00:37:56
but you said that from the point of view on
00:37:59
the hubs we do not incarnate, we do not incarnate, but
00:38:01
emanations, as you said, this is like the
00:38:04
incarnation of God, and this is the moment,
00:38:09
on the one hand it is a very convenient thing, but on the other hand on the
00:38:11
other hand, it’s a very inconvenient thing, we’ll
00:38:13
talk about it now, we’ll discuss
00:38:14
the officer and we’ll talk about it
00:38:16
because, of course, if we believe
00:38:19
that there is an intermediary between God and
00:38:21
man, some kind of incomprehensible emanation, and
00:38:23
let it be ten sefirot,
00:38:25
of course, this is already a problem, that is, how
00:38:28
there would be problems and everything else before we read
00:38:32
the text of the numbers of the tsera in
00:38:40
thirty-two wonderful ways
00:38:42
of wisdom he carved
00:38:44
hell into their lord of armies letters the god of
00:38:46
israel the living god the living god almighty high
00:38:49
exalted arriving eternal saints
00:38:51
his
00:38:52
he created his universe with three
00:38:55
boiled marshmallows that is a letter or letter q
00:38:59
headlights number and now the speeches are ten Sefirot
00:39:08
literally 10 numbers to mark us he is
00:39:11
the translator and 22 letters of the base with the
00:39:14
mother seven double and 12 simple the actor
00:39:17
divides the upa view into three unequal parts
00:39:21
it doesn’t matter ten Sefirot without anything according to the
00:39:24
number of 10 fingers 5 versus 5 covenant
00:39:27
unity from God
00:39:29
for sure in the middle of the covenant of the tongue and in the
00:39:32
circumcision of the foreskin there are ten
00:39:37
Sefirot without anything 10 they are nine ten I am
00:39:39
not 11 we will understand by the wisdom of the wise in understanding
00:39:42
and the decline of them from the following and express
00:39:46
the words clearly or by establishing every
00:39:48
thing in the primordial state in its right to the
00:39:51
surrendered essence and place the creators in
00:39:53
its place,
00:39:55
ten Sefirot without anything, keep your mouth
00:39:58
from talking, hold your heart from
00:40:00
thinking, and if your heart runs
00:40:02
about returning it to its place, for this is said,
00:40:05
similar to what was said, the Dik,
00:40:09
here they run back and forth and return, and on
00:40:11
this basis the
00:40:13
ten Sefirot were made in the covenant without anything, having introduced the
00:40:15
end into their beginnings, their beginnings into the end,
00:40:18
just as a flame is connected with a
00:40:20
burning coal, for the master is the only one
00:40:23
and there is no one for him 2 in relation to him and in front of
00:40:26
him that you count ten Sefirot without
00:40:29
anything they have 10 the world is infinite, the depth of
00:40:32
the beginning and the depth of the end in the depth of good
00:40:35
it is called the depth of the heights and not for the
00:40:37
depth of the east, the depth for
00:40:39
yes the depth of the north, the depth of the south and the
00:40:41
only lord god the faithful king
00:40:43
rules over all of them and his holy abode
00:40:45
and eternal eternity ten sefirot without
00:40:50
anything more to the right their manifestation is like a vision of
00:40:52
lightning their limit is infinite and his words
00:40:55
with them like the runner run back and
00:40:58
forth quotes for tongues or
00:41:00
and according to his behavior at the behest like a storm
00:41:03
they rush and before his throne
00:41:05
they fall down
00:41:06
22 letter of the foundation with the mother seven
00:41:09
double and 12 simple ten sephiroth without
00:41:12
anything 1 sophie to the race of the living god God
00:41:14
is spoken and we bless with mine his
00:41:16
stretching
00:41:18
eye and breath or wind and this is the
00:41:22
holy spirit 2 that is, the second sphere is the wind from the
00:41:25
spirit he God cut and carved 22 at the
00:41:29
base with the mother and seven double and 12
00:41:32
simple and one god of them 3
00:41:35
is water from felt he cut and carved them
00:41:38
through not total in vue and you
00:41:40
clay mixture carved them out like a
00:41:43
kind of flower beds as he translates habits
00:41:45
funny you wandered them like a kind of walls of open
00:41:48
spaces like a kind of weight 4 fire
00:41:52
from water he carved and through
00:41:55
him to be the throne of glory and we will form and seraphim
00:41:58
twisted hayot for the service of angels and from
00:42:01
them he founded his monastery as it is said
00:42:03
he makes his angels of the wind and
00:42:07
servants of the spirits flashes of fire
00:42:10
5 he sealed the heights he chose three
00:42:13
simple letters set them with his great
00:42:16
name, sealed and mi-6 limits and
00:42:18
turned to the top and sealed them 6 he
00:42:21
sealed down and turned to the bottom and
00:42:23
sealed 7 he sealed the east
00:42:25
turned towards him and
00:42:27
sealed him 8 he sealed the west
00:42:30
turned towards him and behind the seal 9
00:42:32
he sealed the skirt turned to the right and
00:42:34
sealed 10 he sealed the north
00:42:36
Burbot turned and sealed him, here are
00:42:39
ten Sefirot without anything damn it
00:42:41
in Hebrew yes yes with the living God and wind
00:42:43
water fire up and down east launch
00:42:46
north and south this is the first chapter of this book
00:42:51
well, in general you see so everything is very
00:42:54
briefly absolutely incomprehensible, well more or less
00:42:58
it is clear that we are told here that they took
00:43:01
ten of some strange things and with the
00:43:04
help of them they created a world and the world was created in
00:43:07
some strange way, they took it and
00:43:10
sealed it from different sides until, that is,
00:43:13
how they packaged such a package
00:43:17
and here you are, readers, then you read a lot of books
00:43:19
there is some kind of association with what
00:43:22
in general what is it like what is this
00:43:24
text like what is this text similar to anything is
00:43:28
this a question
00:43:37
it is similar to conspiracies
00:43:40
and how is it faulty exactly so hard
00:43:44
I perceived it both Jewish and in general and
00:43:46
Christian tradition,
00:43:48
some other thoughts about the text, well, in
00:43:53
general, it’s clear that the text is dark,
00:43:55
that even for ancient and medieval
00:44:00
texts, believe me, I’ve seen
00:44:02
a lot of them, the text is actually very
00:44:05
dark, very short, very difficult to
00:44:08
translate because, well, it’s simple this is
00:44:11
some kind of set of individual words to
00:44:14
say that the scientist who studied the
00:44:17
raw secret was precisely the scientists, and not
00:44:21
one of them had the feeling that it was
00:44:23
just a child being taught to write,
00:44:25
well, because many times some letters
00:44:27
are pronounced written many times you have to
00:44:31
write different letters and this is
00:44:33
such a type of ABC book that is strange for a
00:44:35
child, but in fact everything is of course
00:44:38
correct and still more complicated, which means I
00:44:41
won’t teach you anymore, I’ll tell you further,
00:44:44
so to speak,
00:44:45
what this text is about next, you can
00:44:48
look at it in
00:44:49
this translation you and I are reading,
00:44:51
it seems to me that there is no text on the Internet, but
00:44:53
this text has been translated into Russian many times,
00:44:56
starting with Russian Masonic translations of the 18th
00:44:59
century, which are also posted on the Internet, and right
00:45:03
up to modern times, in our
00:45:06
time, the real text given many times is
00:45:08
available, you can
00:45:09
look at it, but I’m just a little -
00:45:11
I’m retelling it a little here just so that we can
00:45:13
move on and somehow really
00:45:16
continue to talk about it means after
00:45:20
this introduction of Chapter 1 where we
00:45:23
are told the ten Sefirot and where we are
00:45:25
told that this spirit and the second
00:45:27
sphere in a row were like in it -then
00:45:30
created these 22 letters which are
00:45:32
divided into three categories further
00:45:35
in the text itself consider these 22
00:45:37
letters of the Hebrew alphabet in connection with
00:45:39
creation the creation of these letters office
00:45:43
in the following way he inscribed them carved weighed combined ceasing
00:45:47
rearranged and created the world the soul of every
00:45:50
creature that is all beings in three
00:45:53
cosmic layers in the world in time in the
00:45:56
human body in the language of the author of this
00:45:58
text, this world, year, soul
00:46:01
appeared as a result of the mutual
00:46:03
interaction of some of these twenty
00:46:05
twenty-two letters, or in other words,
00:46:08
which the author of this text uses
00:46:10
through 220 of the same gates, that is, a combination of
00:46:15
letters in group feat how the
00:46:16
suspension of it was measured by olive, that is, the first
00:46:19
letters of the Hebrew alphabet with all of them and
00:46:22
all of them are afraid of salt in all of them and all of
00:46:25
them with Bet and we with all of them
00:46:28
will not perish and all revolve around this that at the
00:46:32
heart of the universe lies some
00:46:35
fundamentally a linguistic process the
00:46:39
entire world process is a process
00:46:41
of linguistic father based in general
00:46:43
on an unlimited, in fact
00:46:45
limited to approximately 20 0, number of
00:46:49
combinations of Hebrew letters that give
00:46:52
combinations of 20 euros I will risk 22 22 numbers
00:46:57
with each other and it is believed that everything
00:47:05
that is created in everything that is created means all this
00:47:09
itself contains
00:47:11
letters and in the stones of all things people
00:47:14
people of time in general we see what else is
00:47:21
probably important to say that there are letters
00:47:30
in the category there is a suburb three
00:47:33
categories 1 1 3 letters the most important
00:47:37
they are called mothers oriflame tires
00:47:40
three mothers were created and air water
00:47:45
I he in the world there are 3 seasons,
00:47:48
still in Israel there are three of them they are 4 3
00:47:51
parts of the human body head belly and
00:47:54
chest also combinations it is the
00:47:57
combination of these three letters that was created by the
00:47:59
difference between a man and a woman 12
00:48:03
letters are 12 agree understandable Jewish nonsense
00:48:06
that takes you give a dream with them with the help
00:48:09
wisdom and stupidity were created
00:48:10
wealth poverty choke without
00:48:13
infertility life-death
00:48:15
domination slavery peace war beauty and
00:48:18
ugliness means further 12 more planets and
00:48:23
so on but in general the main idea is clear
00:48:29
the idea is that the world was created 10 30 in two
00:48:33
ways
00:48:34
we are told in great detail which
00:48:37
letter is responsible for which part of the
00:48:39
human body, in a
00:48:40
rather absurd way, for some reason the
00:48:43
heart is missing only in this
00:48:45
description and it has long been noticed
00:48:50
that the iman of the period heart of the word heart 32
00:48:54
that is, this is why it could be the heart
00:48:58
this is this entire book or something in
00:49:00
this in the genus of Democritus, the numerical relationship of
00:49:03
letters and numbers in the Hebrew alphabet
00:49:07
means that after we were told in
00:49:09
this way the world was created, there is a very
00:49:12
small 6th chapter in this treatise that
00:49:14
concludes, which actually
00:49:16
tells us to tell us that
00:49:18
Abraham, he studied all this, all this
00:49:22
science and in Harran made souls and
00:49:26
he succeeded because he looked and we see and
00:49:28
understood, he
00:49:29
examined and drew and knocked out and repeated
00:49:32
exactly those actions with numbers and letters
00:49:34
that the Almighty performed at the
00:49:35
creation of the world and is so glad and this is the
00:49:40
remark
00:49:41
she actually, well, and so the text in general
00:49:44
it looks like such a magical yes, but it
00:49:47
actually makes it possible to read
00:49:52
the text over many centuries exactly
00:49:55
as I promised, we’ll see how it
00:50:01
was perceived,
00:50:02
there are some questions about what’s going to
00:50:04
give birth, something that remains unclear,
00:50:06
maybe even read it out loud, you know,
00:50:14
I don’t know the answer to this question in general is
00:50:17
not because because the author
00:50:21
decided so I think because there are
00:50:23
good 12 letters which but they are
00:50:26
really highlighted in a certain way
00:50:27
date sik just take it and, so to
00:50:30
speak, subtract by subtraction he
00:50:33
decided so I don’t know it’s quite old like that
00:50:36
to say tradition why this is so
00:50:38
quite why these particular letters were chosen
00:50:41
to answer is quite difficult means in general
00:50:49
based on more questions yes how to say it
00:50:57
correlates for people who read the
00:50:59
first book of the Pentateuch about the creation of the
00:51:01
world 6 days of the creation of the world yes and this is
00:51:06
well this is the description yes I understand
00:51:11
the question a little bit, but I’ll have to get
00:51:13
ahead of myself because it’s a secret, but I was
00:51:16
going to talk about it, but since
00:51:18
the question was asked now I’ll answer now
00:51:20
it’s believed that God created the world with ten
00:51:23
decisions and these ten sayings at
00:51:26
some point began to be perceived
00:51:29
as identical to the theme of what is said everything in the
00:51:31
firm cerato there are ten sefirot
00:51:33
this is these very ten ten
00:51:36
sayings which means for the first time such an
00:51:38
identification is divided into the figure
00:51:41
bayer this is also a fairly early text it is
00:51:44
pre-Kabbalistically considered but the
00:51:47
author server barrier already understands these
00:51:49
ten sayings which God created the world
00:51:51
like these ten sefirot, and in general, the
00:51:53
Jews,
00:51:54
I want to say the Jewish tradition,
00:51:56
never had a problem identifying
00:51:58
something with something, especially if the
00:52:01
numerical value coincides, this is what
00:52:03
God himself ordered, that is, as if this is not a
00:52:05
small problem yet
00:52:11
no questions yet means as I
00:52:15
promised you, I want to show me a little, in
00:52:19
fact, I don’t have much time
00:52:21
left, but still I want to show a little
00:52:23
how this text travels
00:52:25
inside, so to speak, different approaches
00:52:27
inside different approaches to more and
00:52:31
I want to start with magical approaches
00:52:34
means we have read and a completely
00:52:36
fair remark was made here
00:52:38
about the fact that this text is
00:52:41
actually, well, the magical potential for it is simply visible in it, we are
00:52:44
talking about some kind of
00:52:45
sealing
00:52:47
about some kind of but obvious magic god
00:52:49
appears In it, such a great magician
00:52:51
who creates the world by combining the letters
00:52:53
Abraham, so to speak, on the contrary, seems to be
00:52:56
simply a successful imitator of the first
00:53:00
such magical action. It is not
00:53:05
entirely clear to us from the text what the
00:53:07
author means when he says that
00:53:10
Abraham creates souls, that he succeeded,
00:53:13
but for representatives of the Jewish tradition
00:53:18
everything was obvious This means that starting from the 12th
00:53:22
century, in fact, a little earlier, already in the
00:53:24
Talmud there are similar examples of such an
00:53:26
understanding, but starting from the 12th century, it was
00:53:31
clearly
00:53:33
assumed that the text could be
00:53:35
used to create a golem, I think
00:53:38
that everyone has heard what it is, there is
00:53:40
such a well-known legend quite
00:53:42
later which attributes the
00:53:46
creation of the head from the famous rabbi and
00:53:50
philosophers wrote whether but there is earlier
00:53:54
there is much earlier evidence
00:53:56
on this topic and the first in general those who
00:53:59
began to make more mukha in the Jewish
00:54:01
tradition are the German Hasidim German
00:54:05
Hasidim 2 who lived in the twelfth
00:54:06
thirteenth century in Germany in
00:54:08
medieval Germany, do not confuse with the
00:54:10
later Hasidim, who is
00:54:12
here accepting us today means how how how
00:54:17
how it
00:54:20
happened it was supposed that it was necessary to
00:54:23
take took some kind of pure land I even
00:54:28
read it to you a little bit in the
00:54:30
text note it is written quietly 5 x 7
00:54:33
instructions, so to speak, on how to do this,
00:54:35
it was supposed that you need to take a clean earth at
00:54:37
the bottom that is not dirty with some kind of not not the top
00:54:40
layer, mold from it what from it a
00:54:43
person, endow, as it is written in these
00:54:47
texts, each part of the body with a certain letter and
00:54:51
begin to combine the letter from the ether, it
00:54:55
was implied that this creation, she
00:54:58
comes to life in the process of such an action, it is not very
00:55:02
clear why this had to be done,
00:55:05
yes, that is, it is clear that this was done, the
00:55:07
question arises why it was assumed
00:55:11
that this was some scientists suggesting
00:55:14
that this was some kind of initiative
00:55:17
practice, that is, the person had to
00:55:20
demonstrate a receipt who was
00:55:22
doing this should was to demonstrate
00:55:23
their potential as creators and as a
00:55:27
creator and,
00:55:30
so to speak, demonstrates their
00:55:34
worth, here is a quote from the text of
00:55:37
German Hasidim, here is the creature that you
00:55:40
want to create in regards to all
00:55:43
parts of its body and each individually
00:55:44
look inside them and determine which
00:55:47
letter you should assign to them and
00:55:49
rearrange as I will explain to you, you
00:55:52
must take the virgin soil lying
00:55:54
in the depths under the surface
00:55:56
layer of the earth and sow us and this in
00:55:59
your holy temple, being clean,
00:56:02
cleanse yourself if Peter and the soil of the golem you
00:56:05
want to create and carry it with
00:56:07
the spirit of life, what does this mean? look what
00:56:10
letter you have to assign to him, that is,
00:56:13
each part of the body and what comes out of it will
00:56:16
do the same with the letters, then the
00:56:18
tone program, that is, the 4 letter name of the
00:56:20
deity of the god who was created, the world
00:56:24
creates recon, that is, vowel letters and
00:56:26
repeating each of his letters with vowels and
00:56:29
this part of the body immediately lives, we don’t
00:56:35
know what actually happened, that
00:56:37
is, we don’t know whether the ogive is legal, yes, we don’t
00:56:40
know what it all looked like, there is
00:56:42
quite a lot of evidence of this kind in the texts,
00:56:44
moreover, along with so to speak, that is,
00:56:49
people did it exactly in what they
00:56:51
achieved, we don’t know, it means, but along with
00:56:55
recipes for creation, it is everywhere present,
00:56:58
so become a recipe for destruction, because it
00:57:00
is believed that, generally speaking, these are actions
00:57:02
0, but it will follow some
00:57:06
interventions in some processes
00:57:07
that are dangerous, so you must first
00:57:10
do it and then destroy it, that’s curious,
00:57:18
so to speak, a
00:57:19
curious perception of this text
00:57:22
case the perception of this text in the
00:57:24
Jewish tradition,
00:57:26
since we probably won’t have time
00:57:28
to talk about this separately, I want
00:57:31
to say that the
00:57:33
Renaissance medieval scientist
00:57:37
scientists of the Renaissance they continue this
00:57:40
tradition and are used to
00:57:44
create
00:57:45
artificial anthropoid creatures,
00:57:49
while they do not use the earth
00:57:51
trying to revive the dolls created in
00:57:54
Italy where it happens in Italy there are
00:57:57
texts in which
00:57:58
they describe this to us in quite
00:58:01
detail one of the authors of this text
00:58:03
such a famous Renaissance
00:58:07
poet reigned, chemist, mathematician, astrologer, in
00:58:13
particular, he was darkly engaged in reading
00:58:15
this book with an officer, he was engaged in this with the
00:58:17
king together and approximately approximately the same
00:58:23
for the same thing that what what for what purpose
00:58:26
did the
00:58:27
Jewish medieval Hasidim do this, that is, this is
00:58:30
also some kind of
00:58:32
initiation practice, you burned, claims that
00:58:35
he succeeded, blends into what
00:58:37
further he reduced it, I don’t know, but somehow, that is,
00:58:41
there is These are the kind of reference
00:58:44
evidence that means, but it is clear that these are,
00:58:48
in general, things that we are
00:58:50
now talking about, no less
00:58:51
interesting, but marginal. The greatest
00:58:56
interest in the book of Sophia rubbed was shown
00:58:59
precisely by the Kabbalistic tradition and
00:59:03
Kabbalistic commentaries on this
00:59:06
text and on the ballistic understanding of
00:59:08
this text, yes it is divided for 2 here are
00:59:10
large groups, that is, the text is the
00:59:14
Sheba Kabbalah of the Kabbalah, which is very
00:59:16
interested, so to speak, in the teaching and the
00:59:19
Sephiroth that
00:59:20
is contained in this text, that is, the teaching
00:59:22
about 10 numbers and already in the first
00:59:25
ballistic commentaries, comments
00:59:28
and varieties of the blind, I am one of the first
00:59:29
Kabbalists, I am his commentary The numbers of
00:59:32
cheese is one of the first Kabbalistic
00:59:34
texts, it describes in great detail the
00:59:37
teaching of the Sefirot, and here is the question, and even
00:59:42
now I am ready to return to it and
00:59:44
answer it, the mouth is here for the first time
00:59:46
clearly understood as a certain
00:59:50
hierarchical structure of divine
00:59:52
existence and the created world and as
00:59:54
some cognitive categories of the
00:59:57
Sefirot described simultaneously in
01:00:00
terms of finite and infinite
01:00:02
one of the names of the sefirot mida before
01:00:05
measurement it is quite difficult to explain what
01:00:08
the author means, but it is assumed that
01:00:11
those sefirot that are accessible to human
01:00:13
understanding and those sefirot that
01:00:16
actually exist are not the same thing, that is,
01:00:18
for us it is specially conditional speaking, a
01:00:20
certain picture is created, that is,
01:00:23
already in the first Kabbalists they understand the
01:00:26
problem of creating an intermediary between
01:00:28
God and man, a problem that a
01:00:29
hybrid for the sake of a new Jewish tradition
01:00:32
painfully solves, in fact, every
01:00:35
time a conversation about this arises
01:00:37
and already blind Isaac says that everything is
01:00:41
not so simple Yes, what is it with the pen, they are
01:00:44
for God, relatively speaking, a bob view on the one
01:00:46
hand, we are on the other, that is, we see
01:00:48
some of the wrong side, but according to our
01:00:50
very
01:00:52
little attention that is available to us,
01:00:55
we are something visible and we can
01:00:58
talk about it
01:01:01
comments comments then of Sheba
01:01:07
Kabbalah,
01:01:08
in the future, several dozen of them were created,
01:01:10
I suggest you turn and
01:01:13
look a little more in detail at the
01:01:17
comments, comments from another
01:01:21
direction of Kabbalah, which is called
01:01:23
ecstatic Kabbalah,
01:01:24
here I even have leaflets and I’m ready
01:01:27
to distribute or one there for 2 3 but
01:01:30
I will also read this one text
01:01:39
means the authors in the commentary of Abraham
01:01:43
buns are
01:01:44
also a Kabbalist of the 13th century years of his life
01:01:48
1200 40 1291 and this one and blocks he is an
01:01:54
absolutely wonderful character here he is
01:01:56
just a very significant exception to
01:01:59
what I say he is a real mystic a mystic
01:02:02
without fools anode height a mystic he is still a
01:02:05
mission he born in Spain in business
01:02:10
received a traditional education then
01:02:12
went to Palestine as a seeker belly and
01:02:15
theons of the missing Jewish tribe there was
01:02:18
stopped further I will continue my
01:02:21
journey in different places in Greece in
01:02:24
Italy studied carefully the Asoka of
01:02:28
Maimonides studied the pub, including the sector of the
01:02:31
yetzira
01:02:34
practiced and came up with some new
01:02:37
fundamental ones a new direction in Kabbalah,
01:02:39
which later the scientist will call
01:02:41
practical cube or
01:02:42
ecstatic Kabbalah, at some point he
01:02:46
really wanted to meet with the Pope
01:02:48
and, in general, what was necessary for the
01:02:52
Jewish mission was by the kingdom chen was
01:02:55
imprisoned and
01:02:58
on the day when he was appointed
01:03:01
execution of the Pope suddenly died apples
01:03:04
was released under an amnesty in general,
01:03:08
such an amazing and interesting person
01:03:10
and unlike the blind man and
01:03:15
other representatives, the light of Azov
01:03:17
will pamper him attracts in the text the number of persons and
01:03:20
earlier teachings the sphere I will add as if
01:03:22
they said chapter 1
01:03:24
and the remaining 5 that is the doctrine of the letters
01:03:32
apples is the first who says that
01:03:35
Hebrew is at the
01:03:36
same time the
01:03:38
proto-language of the language of creation and says
01:03:43
that the graphic appearance of the letters of the
01:03:46
Hebrew alphabet is very important and that the most important thing
01:03:51
he understands the layman understands language as the
01:03:55
best object for the application of
01:03:57
mystical efforts why because he
01:04:01
believes that language is a force
01:04:05
that restrains the soul within the boundaries of the
01:04:07
everyday normal, that is, language is
01:04:10
what makes us a
01:04:12
swades mastered language, the language that a
01:04:15
person has mastered in which it turns
01:04:17
his person is what
01:04:20
makes us normal, the essence of the mystical
01:04:25
experience is precisely to
01:04:27
be abnormal to go beyond the boundaries of the
01:04:29
normal means and therefore all in general
01:04:34
his practice, so to speak, all his
01:04:36
activities are aimed at
01:04:37
linguistic deconstruction in the broad
01:04:41
sense of the word, that is, he comes from the
01:04:43
text from the meaning and he does not go but leaves the
01:04:50
text and the meaning of this text he
01:04:52
goes to the letters and then goes away from
01:04:55
the meaning bu means a modern researcher of Kabbalah
01:04:58
on the largest machine, an Israeli scientist
01:05:02
shows that this deconstruction is
01:05:05
much more radical in nature
01:05:06
than modern practice of this
01:05:10
kind,
01:05:11
but unlike modern
01:05:13
deconstructivists who kill God for the
01:05:15
purpose of deity text adepts
01:05:18
prophetic Kabbalah, on the contrary,
01:05:19
deconstructs deconstructs the text
01:05:21
in order to gain the experience of a more
01:05:23
direct perception of the deity,
01:05:27
thus the rendering workshop in general
01:05:30
becomes for this circle for
01:05:31
followers and the fleas of
01:05:33
this circle are some kind of manual on
01:05:36
radical hermeneutics, that is, this is a
01:05:38
purely and mystical use of the book; a
01:05:41
large number of
01:05:44
texts by this author have been preserved and texts from his
01:05:48
circle,
01:05:49
this text was published a couple of times, should you
01:05:52
take it, but from the book of Scholem, the main
01:05:54
currents of Jewish mysticism are
01:05:56
available on the Internet, but I
01:05:58
still want us, speaking to kabbalah,
01:06:01
today to read such a real,
01:06:03
so to speak, text that describes a real
01:06:05
mystical experience in reality In fact, there are
01:06:07
very few such texts to shoe and an exception
01:06:10
in the Jewish tradition is not the rule, but it’s
01:06:12
interesting what it means, how it
01:06:15
describes what happens when the check,
01:06:17
the numbers of the tsera be ready to meet your
01:06:21
Google son of Israel, tune in to turn
01:06:24
your heart to one set up to turn
01:06:26
your heart to one god cleanse your body and
01:06:29
find a secluded house where no one
01:06:31
will hear your voice potion calling on
01:06:34
Murka do not reveal your secrets to a single
01:06:36
soul if you can do it during the day dogma but
01:06:39
it is better if you do it at night at the hour
01:06:41
when you are preparing to speak with the creator
01:06:43
you want him to reveal to you and his
01:06:45
so that he reveals his power to you,
01:06:47
I will try to turn all my thoughts away from the
01:06:49
vanity of the world, the cut with a prayer shawl
01:06:52
can be owl's hands in order to
01:06:55
fulfill the reverence for your wife with the
01:06:57
divine presence which is
01:06:59
for you, cleanse your clothes and if
01:07:03
possible, let all your clothes be white
01:07:05
for this contributes to this to make
01:07:07
your heart God-fearing God-loving
01:07:09
if it is night even with many candles
01:07:12
and how today will be illuminated with light then
01:07:14
take ink 1 tablet in your hands and remember
01:07:17
that you are going to serve the Lord in the
01:07:19
rejoicing of heartfelt joy now
01:07:22
begin to combine a few or
01:07:24
many letters I imagine combining them until
01:07:26
yours warms up heart follow their
01:07:29
movement and so that you
01:07:32
get something and when you feel that
01:07:34
your heart has already been kindled and warmed up and
01:07:37
when you see that through a
01:07:38
combination of letters you can comprehend
01:07:40
new things that with the help of
01:07:42
humanity great-grandfather
01:07:43
or with your own efforts you
01:07:45
could not would like to know and when you are thus
01:07:48
prepared to receive the influx of
01:07:50
divine power flowing into you
01:07:52
then direct all your style and
01:07:54
thoughts to call up the name of his
01:07:56
highest angels in your heart
01:07:59
as if they were human
01:08:02
beings who sit or stand
01:08:03
around you and feel like a
01:08:06
messenger, the
01:08:07
king and his minister are sent from a mission
01:08:10
and he expects to hear something
01:08:13
from their lips either from the king himself or from
01:08:15
his ministers imagine everything that everything
01:08:18
imagine yourself all this very vividly
01:08:20
turn with all your soul to the knowledge of your
01:08:23
thoughts of many things that letters will enter
01:08:25
your heart through letters that have not been revealed to you,
01:08:28
if they are in general
01:08:30
in all particulars, like a person to whom he
01:08:32
is telling a parable or a dream, or
01:08:35
who is pondering a difficult question in a
01:08:37
learned book, and try to
01:08:40
interpret in this way what you hear so that it can be
01:08:42
reconciled as best as possible with your
01:08:44
mind and all this will happen to you when
01:08:46
you throw away the tablet and pen or when they
01:08:49
fall on their own, unable to withstand the tension of your
01:08:51
thoughts and you know that the stronger the
01:08:53
influx of divine intelligence, the weaker
01:08:56
your external and internal members will become,
01:08:58
all your affairs will have enough irrepressible trembling, so
01:09:01
you decided that your end has come
01:09:03
because your soul, in the abundance of joy of
01:09:05
its knowledge, will leave your body and
01:09:07
prepare and at this moment consciously
01:09:09
choose death and you know that you
01:09:10
have advanced enough to accept
01:09:12
otherwise the divine mind and then, in order to
01:09:15
honor the glorious name by serving it with the life of
01:09:17
body and soul,
01:09:18
cover your face and beware look
01:09:20
at the gentlemen then return come back where you
01:09:23
eat flesh and dad or refresh with a nice
01:09:26
google on them and return that one to yours in its
01:09:28
shell until next time
01:09:29
rejoice in your participation you know that God
01:09:32
loves you means well, quite a long
01:09:35
text and
01:09:38
well this is the text mystically, so to speak,
01:09:40
in my own way, well, a couple of finances, how
01:09:43
can it be that this is actually
01:09:44
mysticism, a description of some mystical
01:09:47
experience, how this happens, what, what is already being
01:09:50
talked about here, then he takes a tablet on
01:09:53
which he writes letters, begins to simply
01:09:56
write, then he just sees these letters
01:09:58
in his head then, with the help of
01:10:00
his imagination, he imagines some kind of
01:10:03
king or something like that, and then he
01:10:06
actually reaches a state in which
01:10:08
you are all ready to die, that is, it is
01:10:10
obvious that he
01:10:14
finds some kind of mystical
01:10:16
ecstasy and although we are
01:10:18
told so simply here come back come back to
01:10:21
your body, it’s not very clear how many people
01:10:23
have managed to say this, how many of those
01:10:25
practicing similar things have managed to
01:10:29
return to their body so easily, it’s more or less
01:10:32
clear that this direction of Kabbalah,
01:10:34
namely ecstatic Kabbalah, is not named
01:10:37
so by chance, that is, it’s clear that
01:10:41
thanks to these With this experience, a person
01:10:43
really goes beyond the boundaries of
01:10:45
normal understanding, beyond the
01:10:48
boundaries of reason, beyond the boundaries of his mind,
01:10:52
this is an example of an example, so to speak, of
01:11:00
the use of a treatise from an officer in
01:11:04
ecstatic bondage of the 13th century, which means that
01:11:11
I want to say surprise his first question,
01:11:14
what could be about this text or in
01:11:16
general some that are there no there
01:11:20
are thanks
01:11:27
a question about Seyfried at once ten sefirot
01:11:32
spatial correlated
01:11:34
correlation but I counted 6 pieces and
01:11:37
four more as connective from space
01:11:43
but these ones here the diagonal direction
01:11:46
they don’t take into account no thanks more
01:11:50
questions while I’m not here it means it’s
01:11:57
interesting that the interest in the numbers of the tsera,
01:12:03
as I say, does not fade away from the Christian
01:12:07
scientists of the Renaissance of cheese, this treatise in
01:12:14
general was the first given at
01:12:16
the end of the 15th century, and even then the
01:12:21
first comments began to appear,
01:12:23
but this treatise gets to the
01:12:25
European Freemason, then it gets to the
01:12:28
Russian Freemason, whose collections
01:12:30
contain quite a significant
01:12:32
number of
01:12:35
Kabbalistic texts translated by sybreed, but including
01:12:37
2 there are translations of sappers of cheese and
01:12:41
around the 18th century, well, as I already said,
01:12:45
the interests seem to diverge in two
01:12:48
directions of this book, on the one hand,
01:12:51
the text continues to function in such
01:12:53
some kind of conditionally esoteric
01:12:58
circles there, first in Freemasonry, then
01:13:01
just
01:13:02
esotericists of the 20th century,
01:13:06
Neji from another country is already popular, he is becoming the
01:13:09
subject of scientific study, and as I
01:13:13
promised at the end, I want to show you
01:13:16
some clips that were also created on the
01:13:20
basis of this text, which
01:13:23
are actually, so to speak, illustrations for this
01:13:25
text and this is a very characteristic
01:13:28
example, so to speak, of what what what and how
01:13:32
happens with this text of the husband there in the
01:13:34
twenty-first century,
01:13:38
eat pike perch pike perch ocelot, a chest of drawers is placed, an
01:13:44
agreement of a

01:16:57
Well, such a very typical example of
01:17:01
use with an officer, she will go through
01:17:04
literally a few verses explaining
01:17:06
exactly what the letters are, what they correspond to,
01:17:08
where they are formed in the mouth, and so worte a
01:17:12
creative rethinking
01:17:14
to say, there is another example of
01:17:18
such an important use of sugar cheese in
01:17:20
modern art literature, I
01:17:22
mean the novel
01:17:24
umberto eco T-shirts circle floor the most
01:17:27
Kabbalistic probably European
01:17:29
novel,
01:17:31
well, at least the
01:17:35
heroes of the novel, which became a bestseller, they also very
01:17:38
carefully study the officer and
01:17:40
practice the officer, as a result of which
01:17:42
one of the main characters gets sick and
01:17:46
dies because he
01:17:49
practiced incorrectly, he moved the letters inside
01:17:51
his body and his body upset the balance of
01:17:55
some of his body stopped
01:17:57
coping with the disease, this is also an
01:18:02
interesting example of using everyone’s
01:18:05
recipe to get acquainted with this world of cheese, well,
01:18:09
I’ll probably wrap it up little by little,
01:18:11
if you have any questions, are you
01:18:13
ready to answer them, yes, hello at
01:18:23
one of the meetings, you they once said that
01:18:31
10 rut is, well, something that describes
01:18:37
anything, it’s never like a certain system of
01:18:39
describing anything, today you also
01:18:42
said a little about this, can you go into a little more
01:18:44
detail? It’s
01:18:46
always the hardest thing to answer for yourself, which
01:18:50
means the teaching of the Sefirot is clear, this is what
01:18:55
develops those paternal directions in
01:18:57
Moreover, this teaching seems to have been developed in
01:19:01
the best possible way, it is
01:19:04
quite complex. We have already
01:19:06
talked today about the problem of
01:19:08
the sefirot as the problem of the mediator between
01:19:10
God and man; the problem of incarnation, I
01:19:15
think that in a nutshell I will not answer at all,
01:19:19
but in simple terms the sefirot can perhaps be
01:19:24
described as emanations and, in this
01:19:27
sense, the mouth is similar to Platonism and science, a
01:19:31
conical monation, but at the same time, in a
01:19:33
rather absurd way, the sefirot is similar
01:19:37
to the Gnostic ones, and that is, the sefirot have
01:19:41
each sefirot, in addition to the fact that these are simply
01:19:43
emanations, but there is some kind of
01:19:45
individuality and Actually, what
01:19:49
Kabbalah does is a description of complex
01:19:53
processes of processes that are understood
01:19:57
as sexual because the Sefirot are
01:20:02
some male and female pairs, there are internal
01:20:04
male and female pairs, and the
01:20:06
relationship between spirits is the relationship
01:20:09
between men and women, including this,
01:20:11
which goes back to
01:20:12
our common plastic enhancement overtaking the
01:20:15
Gnostic understanding in general, ions
01:20:17
actually Gersh Insulin, who
01:20:20
dealt in great detail with the questions of the
01:20:21
origin of Kabbalah and tried to answer the
01:20:23
question of why Kabbalah in the narrow
01:20:27
sense appeared at the turn of the twelfth
01:20:29
and thirteenth centuries, he said that the very
01:20:32
fundamental point of this is the collision of
01:20:34
these two currents of mental Platonism
01:20:36
and Gnosticism and from here the
01:20:38
Jewish teaching of the Sefirot is born,
01:20:42
you can disagree with this because
01:20:44
in fact the teaching at first it does not
01:20:47
come down to these two things, but these
01:20:49
two things are important and they are actually
01:20:51
important, I refer you to books that do not
01:20:55
in Russian mean to the book we play the main
01:20:58
chen of Jewish mysticism, she and her son
01:21:00
in Russian are accessible on the Internet,
01:21:02
you can download it, and there, specifically, the training of the
01:21:05
prison should be looked for where it says
01:21:07
bondage of the 12th century, in quite some detail, this is
01:21:09
just looking at, more questions are being considered,
01:21:14
but about the
01:21:22
revival of halims, because we know that
01:21:25
only God has varda’s ability,
01:21:28
how does it correlate with the fact that supposedly people in,
01:21:31
as you said, are not given genuine
01:21:34
emanations from Anna, in what sense are they
01:21:36
ghostly, but with the help of the emanations that are
01:21:42
given, you can revive
01:21:44
Spock’s mixture of letters, but only God can
01:21:50
endow creatures with weapons with the properties of a living thing, well,
01:21:57
let me, I can’t answer for God to the top
01:22:01
you are probably right, but this did not
01:22:03
stop the Jews from
01:22:06
making such attempts, not only the Jews,
01:22:08
as I tried to say here, which means the
01:22:10
attempts were quite numerous and,
01:22:12
moreover, as you understand, the
01:22:15
second half of the twentieth century and now
01:22:18
people there are doing much more intensively on the
01:22:21
topic of that to create a living thing,
01:22:22
that is, as if it is not characteristic of
01:22:25
human nature in general, in
01:22:28
human nature to try to create,
01:22:29
to try to recreate oneself like and so
01:22:32
on, to try to imitate God in this,
01:22:34
if you did not believe in God and accordingly
01:22:37
live in this paradigm, then attempts
01:22:44
were made, attempts were well documented and
01:22:47
described. Is there really something, well,
01:22:51
who knows, but already in the place where it is described,
01:22:53
what to say, there were not only attempts to
01:22:56
create a person, but in the one where, for example,
01:22:59
they are described by the creation of a bull, that is, well,
01:23:03
this is not the only thing, I do
01:23:05
n’t have the only text on this topic
01:23:07
there are some ideas that people can advance who
01:23:11
understand well what the Yezira sector is
01:23:14
in general can afford something like that,
01:23:27
thank you, tell me how you see
01:23:31
the video point from the wheels of the modern world, its
01:23:34
future fate in principle, that is, taking into
01:23:38
account the fact that the population is becoming
01:23:39
less and less religious as if I’ll return everything to
01:23:43
this whole modern modern theme with a
01:23:45
ska ambience with these other threads,
01:23:47
that is, it’s clear that all this is already somehow
01:23:49
depreciating and has no further
01:23:52
cutout, apparently and understandable fate, as you
01:23:55
see it, I guess thanks for the question,
01:24:00
this brings me back At the beginning of
01:24:05
my lecture,
01:24:07
you will definitely find out that
01:24:10
people are becoming less and less
01:24:13
religious and of course what is becoming
01:24:20
part of a not-so-syncretistic new
01:24:24
religion that arose there in the sixties of the
01:24:26
last century and, as it were,
01:24:29
some things are actually depreciating more and more
01:24:31
and all this is still only one problem does
01:24:34
not disappear anywhere by us, but knowing that, one
01:24:37
way or another, each of us
01:24:41
and some may have a video for a long time,
01:24:43
this does not happen to him, but sooner or later we
01:24:45
are faced with some reality
01:24:46
that we cannot explain, and then it
01:24:49
seems to me that since this happens, this is
01:24:52
some the guarantee of vitality and Kabbalah
01:24:54
because the Kabbalists did not spend
01:24:58
centuries, so to speak, in vain and spent a lot of
01:25:01
effort, so to speak, to describe
01:25:05
this possible contact with us, it is necessary
01:25:07
to give some ways
01:25:09
to enter into this contact, on the contrary,
01:25:12
maybe to warn against some kind of too
01:25:15
direct contact,
01:25:17
that is these are people who realized
01:25:20
they worked with this set of problems this
01:25:22
problem will not go away as long as there is a
01:25:24
person there is a sphere of that well, I personally yes we
01:25:27
can say that this is God or how we
01:25:30
started it could be the devil we don’t know
01:25:32
who it is yes we don’t know what it is but
01:25:34
of course in the life of every person there are
01:25:36
a lot of all sorts of things that are inexplicable,
01:25:38
well, we are all adults, more or less
01:25:41
understandable, I also think I jumped the cube, you have
01:25:46
good prospects, is
01:25:49
it possible to say that a person who
01:25:52
begins to study Kabbalah and engage in it,
01:25:55
he enters such well as places
01:25:59
that in general -only God is in control,
01:26:02
yes, he is trying to do something for God and
01:26:04
thereby doing something that is not pleasing to God, this is a
01:26:10
rather complex question, as I again
01:26:13
tried to show in these hour and a half
01:26:17
that there are different approaches to more in
01:26:20
fact the question is quite interesting
01:26:22
because the questions the question is clear: is it
01:26:26
worth doing this at all, if
01:26:29
Kabbalah actually deals with
01:26:31
some real and quite dangerous
01:26:33
things,
01:26:34
and this is exactly what is described in the
01:26:36
tradition, is it worth going there at all,
01:26:39
entering this field, and
01:26:42
this question means, well, it’s clear that
01:26:47
probably maybe the correct answer is no, it’s
01:26:51
not worth it, but suddenly some people want from the point
01:26:59
of view of tradition, from the point of view of tradition,
01:27:02
no, it’s better not to go into these areas,
01:27:08
go more that it’s complicated, as we
01:27:12
say, he doesn’t live according to our laws,
01:27:15
there are some clear rules that
01:27:18
he gives and it’s probably better to observe them,
01:27:21
otherwise it’s probably going to anger him, but
01:27:24
we didn’t receive a
01:27:27
ban on reading any text directly from God, that is,
01:27:31
well, there’s no such ban given in
01:27:33
tradition, there are some
01:27:35
clear restrictions, a completely limited
01:27:37
prescription will say that it’s better for women
01:27:39
not to do this or
01:27:41
or strict you can’t do this and
01:27:43
let’s say that there it’s better for men
01:27:48
not to do this either, if they can’t
01:27:49
do it, it’s better not to go there, but
01:27:52
you don’t know anything, there’s quite a large
01:27:54
tradition that’s also parallel, before
01:27:57
we start, maybe with Martin Buber, they came
01:27:59
out with such a German philosopher who was
01:28:01
very a famous German Jew, starting with
01:28:07
him, he was not a religious person, but
01:28:10
he just argued that, say,
01:28:12
Hasidic texts or Kabbalistic
01:28:15
texts have a meaning separate from the religious tradition, so to speak,
01:28:18
and there is a meaning and
01:28:20
value for people who could
01:28:24
study them there and be interested in a name completely
01:28:26
separate some meaning you can even
01:28:29
say you can conditionally very skype
01:28:30
mystical meaning this is how Buber
01:28:33
understood mysticism let’s say very very
01:28:36
rough approximately but
01:28:39
enter well every person himself must 3
01:28:42
now somehow answer this question is it
01:28:44
worth it for him to study it somehow how
01:28:47
his life turns out and so on, more
01:28:50
questions in general, well, I don’t know, it seems to me
01:28:53
that how is it to first get involved in
01:28:57
a battle and then only then solve
01:29:04
the disk on the implementation of Kabbalah, let’s say from
01:29:07
Lightman, you know I, after all, I live, by
01:29:15
my appearance it’s clear that I don’t go to
01:29:17
cold synagogue and I’m trying to be above
01:29:21
the fray, that is, in my opinion, well, well, let’s
01:29:24
say I treat it more like
01:29:29
literature, probably closest if it’s my
01:29:31
own approach, and that’s why
01:29:34
Kabbalah Lightman is very interesting for me
01:29:37
to ask about my personal interests,
01:29:40
it’s not interesting because that it is secondary
01:29:42
it is interesting as a social phenomenon it is interesting
01:29:45
what is happening yes it is interesting
01:29:47
that Wightman he knows how to organize
01:29:50
well he knows how to sell sell what he
01:29:53
says is interesting from some social
01:29:56
sociological point of view from the point
01:29:58
of view of Kabbalah he does not tell us
01:30:00
anything new what he says
01:30:02
Scarabeo has already walked on which it is based, that
01:30:05
is, from the point of view, but it is not
01:30:07
very interesting, there are other, so to speak,
01:30:11
movements, well, also in modern Kabbalah,
01:30:14
which is more interesting, also not more
01:30:16
original, they will say there will combine
01:30:18
cube Buddhism, well, that is, there is really something in this
01:30:20
then in the original sense
01:30:22
of thought, but they are much less famous,
01:30:24
less popular than white man, so well,
01:30:28
yes, but a big popularizer, nothing particularly
01:30:33
harmful,
01:30:35
in my opinion, he doesn’t do traditional
01:30:38
people treat him badly for two
01:30:40
reasons, the first reason is that he
01:30:43
competes with reasons and tangible
01:30:46
competition early
01:30:48
in different ways sense, he attracts people to himself,
01:30:50
he attracts money, he sells
01:30:53
Jewish things, also important things
01:30:57
2 2 things that I think that he is not very
01:31:00
interesting secondary 3 things that
01:31:03
irritate white pushed me towards people
01:31:05
who think traditionally is that he tears off
01:31:09
absolutely the Kabbalah of the Jewish tradition
01:31:11
crushed for him no obvious connection
01:31:13
between the columns, he believes that Kabbalah
01:31:16
is some kind of universal knowledge that is
01:31:19
available to all people and so on, but
01:31:21
it is interesting that inside the bar environment, but
01:31:24
the most religious relationships are
01:31:26
changing now, and even now it is also assumed
01:31:29
that it is necessary to preach among the peoples
01:31:31
of the world,
01:31:32
life is changing, everything is quite flexible, the whole
01:31:36
attitude very good my personal
01:31:37
attitude towards me he is not very interesting
01:31:40
because I do not study the sociology of
01:31:41
religion I am interested in some
01:31:44
primary things and new things and how
01:31:47
beautiful everything new is, as I say harm
01:31:49
is worth well, that’s about it, there is also a
01:31:58
textual seminar on collecting cheese
01:32:00
some kind of regular in Moscow,
01:32:02
but there yours is not yours, so one more question,
01:32:10
how is the doctrine of time developed there in bondage all of St. Petersburg
01:32:15
in bondage, that is, we have
01:32:19
Chinese systems there for linking to the
01:32:21
calendar, how are these texts
01:32:23
developed specifically in Jewish countries, you
01:32:26
know? For now, well, how will I answer for the
01:32:32
north of the Etzira, but it will be easier, it will be easier, it will be
01:32:35
specifically dedicated to the Jewish
01:32:37
calendar in the project and the scale from the excuse
01:32:40
that I’m advertising, so to speak, is not my lecture,
01:32:42
but it’s literally announced
01:32:46
at the end of January February, that is, you are
01:32:48
interested in the topic I think this is a good
01:32:50
place where you can just come and listen
01:32:52
about the Jewish calendar,
01:32:54
which means here what we have said about
01:32:57
time, as I
01:32:58
already said, 12 letters are associated with the 12 month 12
01:33:04
12 months and in general there is an important question of
01:33:07
time, but so right away in general time from the
01:33:22
point of view the author of this text is also
01:33:24
structured in letters like everything
01:33:27
else further in order to
01:33:30
understand it, yes it is quite complex and in general
01:33:33
the topic and it is difficult to understand it, but in
01:33:35
general, you need to go on and learn how to be,
01:33:38
you can’t answer this in two words, but the topic of
01:33:40
time is important for the sphere of cheese and not the theme of
01:33:44
the calendar, but the theme of time as time
01:33:47
in general as a certain layer, so to speak,
01:33:50
which he understands that the
01:33:52
world is structured this way, which means there is a world,
01:33:55
a person has time and one of the
01:33:58
important parameters for him, let’s
01:34:01
probably be all about it if someone has
01:34:04
question, come on over, I’m still here and,
01:34:06
accordingly, just in
01:34:08
person, thank you very much for
01:34:10
coming

Description:

Что такое каббала: еврейская мистика, магия, философия, поэзия? Ни то, ни другое, ни третье. Из всех проявлений еврейской культуры и мысли каббала, пожалуй, самое сложное. Любой, кто сталкивается с каббалой, очень быстро понимает, что ему придется искать ответы на бесчисленные вопросы. Даже если мы попытаемся ответить на простой, казалось бы, вопрос, когда возникает каббала, нам придется предпринять целое исследование на эту тему, поскольку однозначного ответа не существует. Первые каббалисты появляются во Франции и Испании в 13 веке, но первая и одна из самых важных каббалистических книг «Сефер Йецира» («Книга творения») написана как минимум на тысячелетие раньше. И так с любой важной темой внутри каббалы – за каждым новым ответом возникают все новые и новые вопросы. Поэтому эта лекция будет посвящена не всей каббале, а отдельным значимым эпизодам, от самых ранних – Литературы чертогов и «Сефер Йецира» до относительно поздних – интересу к каббале в XX и XXI вв.
