starts, 'poel...') For text, see picture below.
The light is simple.
When it comes into the vessel it functions according to it, while
remaining essentially light and essential light.
And the vessel
becomes purified/refined by virtue of the light that becomes invested
in it.
Think of a man
walking. The steps are made lighter by the purpose he has. It is as
if the feet acquire a spiritual quality to them.
The light acquires a
'vessel' quality. And the vessel acquires a 'light' quality.
In contrast to a
wheel that turns, a hand develops a familiarity with the violin or
the pen that it uses.
So too the brain.
The more one concentrates and uses the mind, the more sensitive the
brain becomes. This is the affect of the activity of the sechel in
the brain. This is called hislabshut/enclothement/investment.
This is to say, 'they
sense one another' – 'margishim ze et ze'. The light senses the
vessel and is enticed to be light the vessel. And the vessel senses
the light and enticed to become refined according to the light.
The feel for the
vessel, is the actualization of the sechel. Think of the way the
earth hangs in space. It stands and hangs this way because He wants
it this way. A G-dly reality. Sechel begins above all this – it
begins with Him Himself – bli mah. And when sechel sees the watch
on the table it sees truth in a defined and precise manner.
