We have attempted to identify, as far as possible with the mind/sechel, etzem ve mehus. It is not something that stems from the world. From a worldly perspective there is no essence.

But in truth the world is representative of a Godly presence. This makes it real and gives it a real presence.


Essence manifests itself in giving birth. It is the result of the essence of the soul.

Intimate relations must be in the dark. There must be no distraction from the essence. That is when you sense the Godly reality.

A human being is mindful in essence. His first reaction to something is on the level of sechel/meaning. This is because there is a light of mind (ohr ha sechel) that emanates from the essence of this faculty.

But by contrast the influence of the seminal drop (tipa) is from the essence, exclusively, and not from the ohr/light.

An essence is not 'what I am' but rather what 'He made me'.

A tree does not fight for survival. It gives fruit and does so by saying, 'look what the earth and God is giving through me...!'
