We are talking about the principle of spiritual union – sechel/mind, which always has an element of limit. Even the mind that emanates from the essential faculty of mind (koach ha-iuli ha-atzmi) has limit. This is because it is an emanation, in contrast to the essence itself.

A human being, no matter his conscious state, is still a human being... the essence of being human cannot be comprehended. It is something God has imbued in us.


You may lose consciousness of this status, but the human identity per se, based on the essence cannot be lost.

Reflected light (ohr chozer) is most able to reach and elicit from the essence.

Even that light that comes this way is still only 'light' – a reflection of the essence and not the essence itself, and thus will not create any kind of real presence.
