Mind reflects the finer image of the light of the nefesh. The emotions reflect the coarser elements of soul – its metziut or bitul. The mind and emotions both reflect the ohr of the nefesh equally.

We used the metaphor of a parchment for kochot coming directly from the soul.

In writing there is an order and the words follow each other. Then there are the letters themselves – each letter needs its own space on the parchment and cannot touch another. A surface allows for the writing of letters and is seemingly not involved – it facilitates the writing. If you present a painting it is not just the image, but the background too that makes the composition.

So too for the soul some faculties are not part-and-parcel of the nefesh, while others (the hidden faculties) are based in the nefesh themselves.
