We
are looking at the light of sechel in contrast to how it is in
vessels.
The
'light of sechel' is what souls have in The Garden of Eden. They
have the reality of sechel (mehus hasechel).
They
comprehend the very reality of that spirituality.
The
sechel while in the vessel in the brain, cannot grasp the actuality
of the spirituality.
“Getting
the truth of it” - this is having hasagas hamehus. This is what
the soul has in the Garden of Eden. This is what the angels have...
“Getting
the truth of it”. Getting the reality – this can be understood
by contrast. An animal doesn't have a sense of reality. If an
animal enters a room you may strike it so that it leaves. Will the
animal know that the room is off limits and that it doesn't belong
there? No.
By
contrast when a human enters a room, he doesn't say, 'if you hit me,
I can hit you back so I will stay'. No. He says, 'I belong here'.
This is a level of sechel.
Life
is a reality, even though it is intangible. It is real. As a result
of being alive you have sechel and experiences. We know reality, not
on the basis of projecting consequences. This is an internal
knowing. This is sechel. Spirituality itself is real to the sechel.
The
sechel as dressed in the brain does not have the ability to grasp
spirituality, but it does have the actuality of gashmi (the mehus ha
gashmi).
Things
are real, not just because you want to use them. Things have their
own reality and significance.
