Wow! It's already been 2 years since I watched this last... I'm rewatching this now, there's so much to take in and cover... I feel torn between the horror of the prospect that I'm hopelessly grasping in the dark, and I'll never fully understand all the great richness of Hasidut, and between the thrill of the realization that I don't need to "know it all" in order to embody the essence of Hasidut in the way I live and see the world.

I love collaborations between my favorite content creators! Time to head over and watch Filip's video! Oh, and I can't wait for the next installment. Hasidism sounds like such a beautiful tradition and I knew so very little about it. I'm so excited to learn more because this was already inspiring and the Baal Shem Tov sounds like my kind of spiritual leader. I'm so grateful for your work on this. Matter chases Spirit Like a dog after its own tail It will never catch its prize Because the two are already one ❤🙏☀

Great video. We´re in real need of mysticism, in whatever branch, Hassidism included. Dark times require a immersion into our deepest nature, for us to have a solid anchor in the trascendent, so we can dedicate our human time to elevate our manifest existence as if it were a mirror for the Absolute. I´m looking forward for part two:)

Thinking about the Hasidic position on the consequentiality of the material world to the divine, to vulgarize it in my simplification, is amazing. The interbraiding of the divine and mundane, reminds me of the Dao, in a way. I wrote a poem, I was inspired by someone who wrote a poem in response to your video on Tzimtzum. Which was absolutely incredible. Both the video and the poem. Are markets holy? The music market, Light scatters on a million bells Backed by shuffling feet, screams, Yells and ringing sounds from gongs, Bubbling bong hits, Panic, wonder Heated stuff. The carbon market, Heated stuff, charred and black Frozen into horrible gems, stacked like bricks Beneath the dead excrement of a million bushes, Cows, cars, people, trees. The x, the ex machina, the excrescent-- How variable God starts, ends in trinkets, dully emanating necklaces, steps or tentacles which must be grasped, long appendages of the dawn, come to wake you up, they may be blessed but they're smoking, But the divine loves its ash come to sober you, to drench you in your drunken drowning It may be a bit dark, but it seems appropriate for such times. To recognize the transcendental in the horrifying, and the minuscule long teeth of the sublime inside the wicked, vice versa.

Can't wait for the rest of the series.

I was very excited to hear you specifically mention the concept of democratizing God. In my own terminology, I would refer to that as democratizing spiritual technology in the sense that there appear to be spiritual experiences that can be accessed through our neurological hardware via the application of certain practices which would operate as software in this metaphor. I'm in the process of mapping out a course of study primarily involving computational linguistics that is aimed at identifying the mechanisms the Hebrew language employs to generate what we know as mystical experiences. I'm not sure how blasphemous it is considered, but there is a book called The Chicken Kabbalah by Lon Milo Duquette, and it outlines a very interesting interpretation of how the Hebrew language expresses sensory data. I feel like the secrets that hasidism democratizes probably involved some of these linguistic technologies, but I want to learn more about how it works on a technical level. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel to learn more from an inside perspective.

Hello Zevi, thank you for the lesson. Coming here from your recommendation on Keli, and having trouble (possible because of my ignorance of Hebrew) finding the point you mentioned RE Klipot. Funnily enough, this was the first video of yours I watched, and it was partially due to this and the fourth video in this series that prompted my request for more info. Your description of Dira B'tachtonim resonated deeply, and from my knowledge of the Qliphoth they are of a lower register than even the material of Malkuth. Does Dira B'tachtonim extend to that realm as well? Also very interested in how the 'shell's the Klipot represent come to be anthropomorphized as personalities, in juxtaposition to the more abstract planes of the Sefirot. As always, thank you!

Aww, that was a lovely thing your grandmother said… “I try.”

Very interesting. The divine philosophized as being ontologically immanent and epistemologically transcendent through the lens of dialectical monism and tantra is a favorite topic of mine, and sounds like it could have many similarities with Hasidic philosophy.

Interesting question Veridiana. I didn’t mentioned this in the video when briefly talking about the early iterations of Hasidism, but… there’s a lot of debate among scholars about who exactly the Essenes were and what the word Essene even means. Among the many theories floating around in the theoryverse is that the word Essene is derived from the Hebrew Hasidim, and the ethos of the Essenes, their asceticism, piety, etc., reflect those of Hasidism. But again, just a theory, one among many. 🙏🏼

He does it to test our faith.” That was for me the end of that conversation. What is your take on that rabbi’s ideas?

" A few things about Hasidism. First, the word ‘hasid’ comes from a Hebrew word which means pious, pure. It is derived from the noun ‘hased’ which means grace. This word ‘hasid’ is very beautiful. The whole standpoint of Hasidism is based on grace. It is not that YOU do something - life is already happening, you just be silent, passive, alert, receiving. God comes through his grace, not through your effort. So Hasidism has no austerities prescribed for you. Hasidism believes in life, in joy, Hasidism is one of the religions in the world which is life-affirmative. It has no renunciation in it; you are not to renounce anything. Rather, you have to celebrate. The founder of Hasidism, Baal-Shem, is reported to have said, ‘I have come to teach you a new way. It is not fasting and penance, and it is not indulgence, but joy in God.’ The Hasid loves life, tries to experience life. That very experience starts giving you a balance. And in that state of balance, some day, when you are really balanced, neither leaning on this side nor leaning on that side, when you are exactly in the middle, you transcend. The middle is the beyond, the middle is the door from where one goes beyond. - Hasidism teaches life in community. It is a very communal approach. It says that man is not an island, man is not an ego - should not be an ego, should not be an island. Man should live a life of community. We are growing a Hasidic community here. To li

God bless Israel.

I'm falling in love with you🌹

The mark of autodidacticism is mispronunciation and the occasional malapropism.

Inshallah. B’ezer Hashem yisborech. May S/he who gives lips to humanity, move these lips with grace and keep them from untruth, despair, dryness and cracking in the winter, and from heinous mispronunciations. May they lead none astray and only straight to You. May You who burned before Your servant on Horeb, although he was slow of speech and tongue, You who taught him how to say, I Am the Lord your God, your Lover, your Redeemer, who birthed you from within the womb of Egypt. May we be reborn in you, and may our lips be made pure, with a pure speech to serve You in unison, as the Prophet Zephaniah spoke with holy lips, as the purified lips of Isaiah, the burned stuttering lips of Musa Rasul Allah, and these here dyslexic lips. May they sign a sweet song of redemption, with ever inhale and exhale, running and retreating, my soul, my breath i give to You. In Your hands i place my lips, Your lips, wash them, bless them, purify them, have mercy on them, always, from the depths of Sheol to the heights of Seir. Selah.

Yes but that's not what I meant to say you speak on a very intellectual level, which makes a wonderful subject sound very high brow

Thank you Peter. That’s very kind of you to say 🙏🏼

why have YOU, who obviously have become so fluent in so very many diverse vocabularies, chosen to translate Elokut in Chabad-Lubavitch, lol,'s usual way, i.e., "G!dliness," rather than as Divinity, which is surely, for English speakers, FAR LESS confusing, since it doesn't so strangely grab a word with USUAL ETHICAL/CHARACTER connotations and deploy it with ontological reference!??? i understand most Chabad translators doing so, because of their native, academically unsophisticated Yinglish, but YOU!????? (Speculation #1: you've done so for your Lubavitcher homie audience. BUT IT'S AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SO WIDER AUDIENCE YOU ARE LIKELY BEAMING AT! :)
