“Pleasure Basis” p153


“It is His presence that correlates all of the elements in the world.  Nothing else unifies earth, wind, fire and water but the Godly presence”  - Zohar
AYIN BASE - REBBE RASHAB - with R’ PALTIEL - 5778
P 153 (of the pamphlet) at last paragraph of the page.  Line starts, “umnum…” [P113 of the book]

There are levels of mind / sechel that doesn’t have or need proof.

‘Open your eyes and see it all’.  The reality will be seen.  With closed eyes there’s no comparison. 

What is the source of this knowledge?  

Mind/sechel is a reduction from oneg/pleasure.  Without the underlying pleasure you have a flimsy fact at best. 

So your understanding is based on ‘feeling good about it?!’  To answer this think of language acquisition:  a language learned later never reaches the effect of ‘the mother tongue’, which references the reality he knows.

As an infant or child you have ’total comfort’ in the environment.  This is his pleasure that he relates to personally.

Boredom is a great suffering.  It is caused by losing track of your purpose and reality and ‘perfect comfort’ in who and what I am.

Sechel/mind is pleasure/oneg at the reduced level.

And the world is imbued with God’s pleasure.  And he gives it to us.  It is His presence.  

The world is not based on the inadvertent development of an atom… rather it is created by His pleasure.

With open eyes you see the divine pleasure in the world.  

The pleasure is part of your soul.
