What makes light real? Why do we relate to it? Or to the intellect? It is the fact that this knowledge and the pure light are similar – it is the presence of the sun itself which is real – and the intellect is base in the reality that there is a First Being that I relate to.

The 'flow from the mentor/mashpia' is different from the 'light from the luminary'.

The mashpia presents material that is universal. It does not depend on the mashpia/mentor. Except there is a relationship between the mashpia/mentor and his presentation – it is based on the way of his essence... but it is not exactly like the essence, which cannot be expressed.

The words of the mashpia are coming from his reality. But as he gives the words they go beyond him, like a stone in flight. This is different from the way light works – light cleaves to its source.

Regarding light from the luminary – 'it is like the essence' and cleaves to the essence. The idea of the light is not to provide light, but to 'give the luminary'.
