7) "The Talmud says: One day the whole world will the be the holyLand.  One day every city will be Jerusalem.  One day every housewill be a Holy Temple.  And one day every human being will be aHigh Priest...To build a Holy Temple takes no time.  It takes justone minute of loving each other..."

3) Temporal 'creature existence', Eternal  'truthful existence':

"That means that if you are living on G-d level, and you meetsomebody, you don't just happen to meet him.  You really meet him. It doesn't just so happen that someone tells you something.  Hereally tells you something."

REB NACHAM ON WALKING ALONE 
(a seperate teaching, but apparently given at the same time/placeas the preceding; typed as a continuation of JW24, takes the last7.5 pp (sides) of that pp10 transcript.)
l2

Mishna, Avot, "If you walk at night alone and you turn yourheart to stupid things.."
{TEXT: Pirke ha'Avot, 3:4:  "Rabbi Chanina ben Chachinaisays:  He who keeps awake at night, or travels alone of theroad, and makes room in his heart for idlene4ss, sins againsthimself."

Commentary (Metsuda Pirke Avos):  "Night-time is generally adangerous period becaus eof attacks by vandals and travelijngalone increases the danger.  However, one engaged in Torahthoughts, is afford Divine protection (Bertinoro)."  {RavOvadiah, b. Bertinoro, Italy, "settled in Eretz Yisroel in1485 and died in Jerusalem" (Ibid.)
l1

1) If you walk alone at night,  "If you study the Torah, and haveholy thoughts in your head as you walk, then the Torah is like aguradian wathcing over you."

2) "To walk on the way is a very deep concept...Reb Nachman saysthat ways come from the world of ONEsness.  Ways bring thingstogether....So when you walk on the way, you have to be on thelevel of holy Oneness."

3) "The old Lubavitcher Rebbe said that if people had good ears,most of them would hear the stones yelling at them 'Why do youstep on me?  What gave you the right to step on me?'  If you arewalking on the way to do something good, the stones say, 'Pleasekeep on walking on me.  I'll carry you.'  If you are on the way todo something wrong, the stones say, `What kind of chutzpah isthis?'                  

4) Reb Nachman on Pirke ha'Avot 3:4:  "The first thing is, 
ha-m'halech, you have to walk.'  `B'drech' on the holy path. 'Y'hidi', alone.  Reb Nacham says you have to be alone.  Thatmeans you must have the strength to be alone.  It means you arealone.  You will be alone.  Y'hidi -- You have to be alone.  Whenare you really walking and advancing on the holy path?  Only whenyou are alone.  'B'leili -- It has to be at night...Can you walkwhen the whole world is asleep, when the whole world gave up?  Canyou walk all alone on that holy path...Reb Nachman says a personhas to walk at night on the way.  You have to be alone somewhere. `v'm'panah l'vo l'batalah' 'You have to turn your heart tonothingness.'  That means that you have to annhiliate yourselfbefore G-d."	`Then he is liable for his life'.  Reb Nachman saysthat 'm'thiv b'nsfisho' means he gives his life, his soul, realexistence.  Reb Nachman says, as Mimnonides said, that there aretwo kinds of existence....Reb Nachamn says, 'When do you reachthis G-d existence?  Only when you walk alone on the path."

5)  "After Reb Nachan said this Torah, suddenly thousand andthousands of young people in Poland and Russia started walkingalone at night." "if only for five minutes."   "Reb Nachamn calledit 'hitboddut'.  Don't translate it as meditation.  Reb Nachmancalled it 'holy aloneness.'  Reb Nachman said if you never walkedalong for five minutes then you are not really here yet."{JW24(s)-1}
l1

5a) "Reb Nachman had an enormous opposition.  After he said thisTorah, sadly enough, mnay young people cracked up.  You reallyneed a soul master to be there when you practice this.  RebNachman passed away when he was 38 years old.  The first few yearsafter he passed away were really bad scene.  Then Reb Nosan becamea little soul friend.  He didn't become a soul master because RebNachman continued to be the soul master until the Messiah comes. But at least Reb Nosan became a soul friend to take care of thepeople and guide them a little bit. ... Some Chassidim beganmeditating when they were five years old.  Reb Nachman said youshould start at the age of five.  You have to have a few minutesalone every night on the way, in the forest.  He said everyoneshould have one tree in the forstst.  This is your tree.  You praytogether with this tree.  You are alone together with this tree."

6)  "It is possible to do everything correctly, but it just sohappened that we did it correctly.  That is not enought.  Itshould be that it couldn't have been any other way.  If Shabboscomes, and it so happens that I keep Shabbos, then it isn't reallyShabbos.  I should feel that it absolutley couldn't have beenotherwise.  It has to be G-d's truth."                    

7) Reb Nachman says ...Abraham didn't convert the people of theworld into Jews.  He brought them to a belief in one G-d.  So RebNachamn asks, 'What did he tell them"  Abraham Avinu would tellpeople, 'Do me a favor.  Spend five minutes alone with G-d."

8) "Obviously we Jews have something very holy.  We are stillhere.  How can we still be here?  It must be that we really haveto be here.  All the nations of the world either could be here orcould not be here.  So they were here, but not on an absolutelevel.  Even when they did good, it just so happened that they didgood.  It was all on a just-so-happened {`contingent'} level ofexistence.  So what happened to us?  When did we become G-dpeople?  When did we become absolutely here? 

9) "Reb Nachman says ... I have to run away from people to bealone.  The holiness of nature is that nature never loses touchits its aloneness.  A tree does not stop being alone with G-dbecause there are 1500 trees around in the forest...It is only wehumans, who are so caught up in our minds and our cleverness, whothink that when we are together with many people, that we are notalone.  Reb Nachman says, 'After you have learned how to be alonein the forest, you can go back and be with 10000 people and stillbe completely alone with G-d.  You can be completely alone ....People who have G-d's holy aloneness have no walls betweenthemselves and other people.  This is a great contradiction{paradox}.  If you have unholy alonness, then you feel that youcan't get together with anyone.  But somebody with holy alonenessis really one with the world.  The Baal Shem Tov wa so holy thatnobody in the world who came to see him felt like they alreadyknew him for 1000 years ... The most important thing for us torealize is that we have to raise our whole level of being in theworld to this absolute, G-d being.  First we have to raise ourbeing.  Then we have to raise our actions and our relationships."

10) "Time is also completely up to us.  G-d says, 'Let there beanother day.'  Then it is up to us to say to that time, 'Let it beso.  Let it really be so.'  Reb  Nachman said that there isnothing more dead than time if you don't do anything with it.' ... Some people really give life to time.  They really give lifeto the world.  They vibrate.  They emanate.  The holy light aroundthem says, 'It is so.  There really is one world.  There really isone G-d.'  If it really is so, then there has to be peace in theworld.  Peace means 'It really is so.'... We were all created byG-d, so how can we fight?'

12) "We are really giving existence to the world.  we are givingexistence to each other."

2) "After the performance {on Purim at Tel Aviv} someone came tome and said that all the bus drivers from Egged in Tel Aviv werehaving a Purim party.  They wanted me to come.  How can you say noto bus drivers." {JW25(s)-1}

3) "Amalek is the symbol of utomost evil.  It says in the Torah,'Amelek attacked you on the way.'  The deeper meaning is that evilattacks you and tells you, 'You'll never get there.  Forget it. You'll never make it.'  That is the greatest evil.  {Cf. R.Nachman: 'Gevalt!  Never give up hope.'}

4) "Then someone put Reb Nachman under my nose.  I startedlearning.  Whenever I look at it, I wish I could learn it like Ilearned it that night."

Topical summary of JW74, "The Nine Days and the Ninth of Av", ATeaching of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.    20 Shekels.
Jerusalem 3 Av 1989.
Xerox, electronic typewriter typescript with handwrittencorrections & Hebrew script inserts, pp20
Apparently a relatively advanced teaching.

1) The fixing of Tamuz is seeing; the fixing of Av is hearing.
   Prophecy is clear sight; "When you come to to the BaishaMikdahs, you mamash see.  And even today when you come to theHoly Wall ..."

2) "If you need proof, you are already an outsider."
              
3)  The Kozhnitser Magid says, "'A person who does not believe, aperson to whom it's not clear, that every person in the world hasa broken heart, you don't know anything.'...the way I break thematsah is, the greater part is hidden and the smaller part I leaveon the plate.  ... The Kozhnitser Maggid says ...if you want toknow if you left Egypt, do you know that the whole world isbroken?"                         

4)  "I can go thrugh my whole life , and never taste not even onebillionth-el of my own neshama."

7)  "What's the difference between a crazy person and a normalperson?  A crayz person is someone who says 'G-d speaks only to meand not to you.'"{JW74n2}

12) "The Ishbitser says the hearing after the seeing ...it's adifferent kind of hearing." (p7)

13) "We Yidden...are not here in the world to tell the world thereis one G-d...The question is, do you hear."

14) "Torah sh'b' Peh is basically hearing...Everybody who knowsGemoarah a little bit, knows that Gemorah is not what you see.  Itseems like shorthand.  The real learning is what your Rebbe givesover to you, the way to learn...and anybody who knows a little bitabout learning -- you learn something, and then it's clear to you,I don't know what it says...."

15) "Everybody knows that the twelve months are divided among thetwelve tribes.  And this month {Av} is the month of ShevetShimon....if you look at the world, then you could maybe say itlooks like G-d doesn't listen to our prayers...But if you havegood ears, gevaldt, not only can you see how G-d is taking care ofus, you can mamash hear ...{eo}"

16) From R. Nachman and Ishbitzer:  "The way the world {haGoyim?}learns, I pray and G-d answers.  It's not true...."  Listening toa call to return.

17) "Everybody knows that everything in the world bgan with makingthe Golden Calf.  Because if we ...{had not} made the golden calf,then the spies would not have come back ...{eo}..."(the 17th ofTamuz),  the destruction of the Temple, basically began with MosheRabbenu breaking the tablets...Everybody knows, if Moshe Rabbenu... {had not} broken the tablets, then we would would have learnedand we would never forget....If I never forget ...everything isseeing...Mount Sinai is seeing.  Seeing, the Ishbiser says, isonly the outside....Yerushalyim is mamash hearing."  Jerusalem isthe center of prayer because prayer is a matter of hearing.

18) "Remember the Torah from the Baal Shem, witout getitnginvolved in the pasuk (verse)..." If I'm too busy to listen to thepoor, how can I expect my prayers to be heard?  Or even for mybusiness to prosper?

19)  The lady smoking a cigar on Yom Kippur may be a hiddentzadik.  
"Yeah, it's true, what you see is terrible.  What do you hear?"

20) The letter of the month of Av is Tet (10th month).  TheIshbitzer says "the letter Tes, whenever a letter is mentioned inthe Torah the first time that is the headquareters.  Reference tofirst occurence of the letter Tet in Genesis 1:1 "And the ZoharKodesh says ... Tish b'Av {the 'temporal landmark' in the monthnumbered Tet} is already foreshadowed ..."

21) "Reading the Bible in English without the holy commentaries... so dry, so nothing, right? ..."  {JW74n-3}
                
22) "What gave us the strength to hold out 2000 years to come backto Eretz Yisrael, the holy Land   ... Not because of what we sawwhen we left.  What we saw when we left was the destruction.  Ifwe would only see, we would never come back. "

24) "The closer we get to Moshiach, the longer it takes...theproblem is today, when all the young peple come back toYiddishkeit .. Some peple want to teach you on the level ofseeing.  They show you black and white ... you have to do this,you have to ...{eo} This is not what brings me back toYiddishkeit.  It's not the seeing, it's the hearing."

25) "Good is something which is so deep that I can hide init....the Baal Shem says (re: parsha Noach), tayva (ark) is also aword.  Every word of the Torah, you can hide in it.  (p12).

26) "Do you know what makes the Torah so deep?  The Torah s'b'Peh. And you know friends, how many new Torahs are coming down everysecond from heaven.... every year when we cry for the Holy Temple,new Torahs are coming down from heaven."

27)"And here the Ishbiser says the {zodiac} sign {of the month ofAv} is a lion...Everybody knows the lion is the king of all theanimals not [sic, but typo?] because he is absolutely not afraidof anybody.  And here the Ishbitser says ...Why is he not afraid?Because the lion ...{eo} ...  is the most balanced animal in theworld. ..." The lion knows how to balance love with directedanger, gevurah {JW74n4)
                                                       
28) "To be in exile means, I'm so knocked down.... Telling aboutsomeone who doesn't keep Shabbos is more of a sin than the one whodoesn't keep Shabbos.  If I tell you that Moshele eats ham, thereis no question in the world that my avera (sin) is ten thousandtimes bigger than eating ham." (p13) ... "Hating people or sayingbad things ...mamash breaks you...And did you know why the HolyTemple was broken?  Because gevaldt, did we break it apart."{Gemora: 'The Temple was destroyed because of causeless hatred.'}{JW74n5}

29)  "Do you really think G-d would take us out of exile and nottakes us back?... Can you ever imagine G-d takes us back to theHoly Land and he will not fix everything, even if it takes a longtime...on Tisha b'Av, when I lie on the floor 
l2
{one sits on the floor, but I had not heard of a custom oflying on the floor -- sa} 
l1
and I'm crying, suddenly it's clear to me, it can't be ..."

30) "My right kidney always tells me what is beautiful, and myleft kidney always tells me what's bad.  On Tisha b'Av, I'm fixingmy left kidney.  And you know my left kidney told me the wholetime, 'Forget it.  G-d sent you out into exile.  HE forgotyou...The fixing of the left kidney is that it is clear to me,that it just can't be ... {eo}."
                                                                 
32) The Ishbitser, Mei ha Shiloah, on why the 10 commandments hadto be given a second time...."Moshe Rabbneu is giving over toYidden what he wants them to know until Moshiach is coming."

36) "Do you really think the whole worlds hates us?  Sure thereare a lot of people who are bad; but the world .. And with all theevil in the world, we have to fix the world.  There's nobody elsethere."

37) "Beauty has to do with the eyes....Yerushalyim is the mostbeautiful city, the Bais HaMikdash is the most beautiful place.. ... You know what it is to be in exile?  Mamash, we lost ourbeauty....We should close our eyes, and mamash hear and see withour ears....why do children really think that their parents arethe most beautiful people in the world?  Because, when they areborn, they keep their eyes closed. ... On Tisha b'Av night when wecry, gevald does the Bais HaMidsah look beautiful.

38) "Tisha b'Av it's clear to me, that the most, most beautifulthing is to be a Yid...I'm a little part of this most beautiuflthing in the world which is called Yidden.

39) "The 9 days is "Tet" and "Tet" is, this first time {that theletter Tet appears in the Torah} 'it's good.'...Eventually G-dwill open our eyes and we'll see how good it was.  How goodeverything is.  How good mamash the history of the world is.  Whatdo we know.... On a seeing level, it's a bad scene.  Buthearing...G-d is so close."

40) Shabbos Chazon:..."You know what the difference between(Chazon -- a vision and) ordinary prophecy is?  (Ordinary prophecyis) what you see with your eyes.  Chazon is what you see with yourears.  Different kind of seeing.  Seeing with closed eyes."

JW11, 8th of Elul, 5757 August, 1987, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebachspeaking in Jerusalem, Israel
xeox, typescript with Hebrew script inserts above typedtranliterations.  pp20, but I have here only pp1-5

1) "When you come to the land" and you say "I want to have a king"
{Deuteronomy?}  Gemora, Horius(?) on kings.

"As long and your wanting is not free, you are completely bribed.

  "As long and your wanting is not free, you are completelybribed."  

"Whenver you miss so much {form life} and yoiu don't know where toget it, then you always get it from the wrong place."  (based on ateaching of R. Leibele Eiger?)

Teaching in Chodesh Shvat:  "I know I'm missing something and if Idon't put this missing in the right place, then I'm crazy aboutsomething else. {JW11n1}

"When my soul is empty, I want to fill it with being stupid.  Butwhat I want to fill my soul with, when my soul is empty, makes mysoul even more empty...imagine I'm a single and I'm going everynight to a single's bar.  Why am I going to a single's bar? Because I'm so lonely I want to go to a single's bar ... {eo} I'msitting ... and drinking and telling dirty jokes.  You know whatI'm feeling inside?  I'm feeling more lonely ...{eo}."

Midrash of the daughter of a king who marries a peasant.  She saysshe's hungry, so he brings her potatoes.  She cries, because hernefesh craves something more refined.  He wants to help, but he'sonly a peasant, so what can he do:  he assumes she's still hungry,so he brings her more potatoes. {JW11n2} 

"The depths of life is that I'm here in this world to fill myheart.  I have to fill my heart with something.  I don't want mysoul to be empty."

2)  If I have 10 million dollars, I can study Torah; or if that'stoo hard I can bring 100,000 people to Israel to study Torah; butmaybe I think I'd be more comfortable building a football stadium,and then we can all go watch a football game in Jerusalem onSaturday.  "He doesn't want to admit he's hungry for somethingmore exalted."
