Yesterday we looked at the koach hasechel – the basis of mind.
Sechel is dressed in the body and has to communicate with it. If ratzon and oneg was completely revealed in the body, it would be completely overwhelmed.
Sechel sees to it that the nefesh has it's effect and the body can process it. This is the hamshacha/download of sechel.
This incluldes all the koachot of sechel, and even the koach hamaskil – it too is downloaded.
The koach ha maskil acknowledges that there is a lack of understanding and it addresses this. The koach ha maskil is drawn from the nefesh/soul to the body and works in this context.
At the level of infinity/soul, there is no such thing as “i don't understand”, so when the koach ha maskil works in the lower setting of the body it limits itself to a process.
Koach ha sechel hahiuli ha atzmi is above this and is there du to the essence of the nefesh. This is like a room prior to being furnished. One already “sees” the furniture it will contain. It can exist even without the definitions of koach since it is united with the nefesh/soul.
Sechel is understand a topic from the outside. No matter how well you understand and how many proofs you have, it is still not something that stands on its own.
The real basis of chochmah is that there is a truth.
