The human being is an essential element in the world, that gives it a meaning. Hashem made the whole world and gave it over to the human being. Chochmah atzmius is related to a davar atzmi. We trust our sechel, but not our emotions, since the chochmah connects to the atzmus of the inynan – is not arbitrary.

Even though chochmah has a form, it is not at the level of revelation. It sees what it is based on rather than what it expresses.

Essential chochmah identifies with the essence of the inyan and is stripped of all specifics – essentially undefined/unexposed.



But one who connects to this essential chochmah, then can focus in on what it contains. Etzem exists only because it is rooted in elokus. The nefesh has an etzem and it has pleasure in something that is connected to the essence. Tynug atzmi is the essential pleasure.
