Entering into the reality of the situation

AyinBase with R' Paltiel 4/21/10 Wednesday 7 Iyar 5770

Page 18 – End of 6th line from the top of the page. Line starts, “ubechinat daas”.

See sidebar on the right hand side for copy of the text.  

Sechel cannot relate to reality in the same way. Daas can relate to the reality of the world. Bar sechel sees the precariousness of the world and the bar daas sees the reality.

The judge has to come to daas and hakara to have a stake in the situation. He can't judge with a wave of the hand.

A child may be smarter than an adult, but he's not a bar daas – he doesn't have a stake in it.

How do we come to a resolution between two differing judges?

These are two realities, each sees the situation from their angle. They will only come to a resolution through a daas hamachriah – this presents an alternative and absorbs both of the opposing opinions.

The daas hamachriah is known as daas shlishi. The third daas. And both can agree we with it. Dass hamachriah is not a synthesis. It is from above – it is a new paradigm. Even if this third opinion comes out practically like one of them it is still a third position.
