Sight is a very compelling reality, but you can close your eyes to it.
Then above that is a truth that you know intrinsically. Elokus is a truth that does not need proof.
It is ever present and cannot, but be present.
Elokus is something we know all the time, but due to the nature of conscience thought we lose sensitivity to it.
This is the difference between mitzvah and reshus. Mitzvah is a direct connect between the commander and the commanded, except it comes through a pathway – you and the commander are separate.
Reshus – you and the commander are integrated.
This is the concept of ohrot atzmiim – it is a true reality itself – not something discovered, and reshus follows from this. This is a direct connection. Like you don't have to tell yourself not to walk into fire – since you don't need sechel for that.
