Atzmus is not known yet it is possible to have hiskashrus in inyan of atzmus ein sof.
Atzmus is beyond the level of hashpaa and gilui, which are levels indicating that the world was created outside the original reality. So one meditates that the inyan of etzem is inescapable – one cannot be outside the primary reality, even though he appears to be in a created world which prevents the identification of atzmus with sechel and middot.
The metziut itself can regonize being there, in atzmus. This is hiskashrus/unity with the makor/source.
He “grasps” this not by means of his faculties. Atzmus is beyond contrasts – it is the primary truth unto itself.
The flesh itself sings. How is this possible? How can flesh sing? Logically we can say if there is hashpaa and gilui there must be a source, but it is a non-participant. And the recipient does not relate to it.
There was once the concept of Hashem made the world and left it alone (even the process of evolution can fit with this perspective). The person's mind and heart are sensitive, but his flesh is unaffected.
But if we are aware that He never left his world, and that this is a reality beyond senses and faculties, then his heart and flesh sing and respond.
That which was a non-participant and irrelevant becomes the foundation and basis. He wants this world.
He is a participant in my existence with His own presence. This brings life to the very presence itself.
This is how it relates to the mashal from yesterday of father and son. Eventually the son realizes he is missing the father himself. The son realizes this is what makes him live – this gives him a real sense of presence.
