Chapter 15, 16, 17. second category of Beinoni: Avado through “Moach Shalit Al HaLev”, Mind (either) educating (or) dominating the heart. 1. Highest kind of Beinoni “Avoda Tamma”- full passions towards Hashem; 2. Kach Ya’asa, where the passions are not so manifest, but are enough to fight the Yetzer Hara.

Chapter 15 (end), 18, 19, 25. Third category of Beinoni: Working with “Ahava Misuteres”; hidden love for G-D hidden in the soul of every Yid. Harnessing that power (of self sacrifice) for one’s regular service of Hashem. Note: Lessons 17-23 explain the (Ahava Misuteres) Soul based (rather then the mind over heart) Beinoni.

Chapter 17. 1) The Possuk Ki Karov…bFicha (to learn and meditate) uviVovecha (be impassioned) LaAsoso (Thought Speech and Deed). 2) One can’t be a Beinoni unless he does Teshuva first; however Teshuva Tataa will suffice.

Chapter 20-21 (half). ACHDUS HASHEM: introduction, 1) Faith 2) Knowledge of what G-D is 3) Understanding His unity [With the world (us)]. Various levels of unity; 1) Rambam, 2) Kabbala, 3) Chassidus- Highest unity- nothing actually exists outside of Him.

Chapter 21 (second half)-22. From our point of view the worlds exist. End of Hishtalshelus- Klipa. What are they why do they exist.
