Essential mentorship is not of a specific content or information – it is just essence to essence.

Something that has an essence can relate and receive this kind of mentorship.

On the land, you stand on the ground, not because you are supported in every direction, but because you are a metius. In the sea, you don't stand as a separate entity, but because you are supported – all the creatures of the sea are in a constant state of rest.

Creatures of the land, to rest they have to close their eyes.



Reproduction of the human being is a soul matter.

We made a distinction between mentorship and the union of male and female. In the first case the mentor must find the student within himself to present something to him – there is interinclusion. Thus the student senses there is something knowable.

In the union of male and female it is a matter of partzufim – complete entities.

The mitzvah of having children rests on the man. Conquest is in the nature of man and not women – it says, “settle the world and conquer her...” Woman are exempt from this mitzvah. The union is between one who has this nature and one who does not...!

This is the special element. It is essence to essence. “this is it”.

In yashar the recipient is in a state metziut davar. He has a presence. A human has 10 faculties that define him as a human being. Before a king the subject still exists as a full fledged human being. There is an essence – metziut davar.

Therefore he is capable of receiving also from the level of essence and not be nullified, since he cannot be nullified.

In marriage she receives from the man the quality of conquest, but she doesn't receive it, she relates to it and is able to give it support.

A car moves by spinning it's wheels. The motor drives the wheels. The wheel has to be able to be a separate entity that is activated/driven by the engine. This co-operation of separate entities does not exist in igulim, where nothing is separate.

What is function of igulim/circular/water reality? It is to recognize different qualities within the essence itself. The sea is one entity yet there are different creatures at various depths. The land is like the development of sea reality to the state where things are stand alone entities. In ratzon and oneg, everything is all one. In sechel things have their own definitions.
