We are talking about sechel ha-atzmi that comes directly from the source. It relates to the truth itself, not as it emanates into the sechel and is observed by the sechel. From this come revelations without limit.
Human,common sense, sechel enushi, stand up and his head holds him up. It demands that a person behave like a human being. Nevertheless there is a fundamental orientation of tending towards the bottom – towards the earth – things are placed on a surface and we take for granted this essential truth of things being based on the earth.
This means that the sechel ha-atzmi is in gear all the time, but we have said that it needs a initiator.
Everything is based on the Creator – the Baal Shem Tov explains that the most seemingly insignificant occurance is rooted in essence. Each world has it's own truth due the the overall truth. A human being is human because he is a creation of Him. Without this he is just an evolved monkey in a “dog eat dog” world.
“Open your eyes and see” means see what the eye can see, that the hands cannot see. This rises a person's horizon and sechel. “oh, there is a spirituality that is real, elokus is a reality... though elokus is not tangible and not spiritual!”
The animal soul is not affected by the arguments or even the essence of human identity. The animal soul is affected by elokus. He does not have yechidah, he has a makif, but not the point of G-dly truth. “This space is a G-dly reality” and the animal soul cannot be taught by debate. He tastes the truth through hiskafia and hishafcha.
“This space is a G-dly reality” is not a point in the debate. It takes the animal soul out of his territory. It is hiskafia, where the animal soul is told, “this is not your space, you didn't make this. This is not your store, you don't decide the price of the merchandise...!”
There is an internal debate and battle. Each one is fighting his nefesh habahamit – his animal soul. You reach the animal soul with a universal truth, till the animal soul sees it too.
A level of unlimited revelation is reached. Many things are properly based. New building can begin. A proper foundation for life is established.
There are limits. Take the mashal of light. Our sense of daylight is the sun, which brings us light and daylight. Daylight is more than light. You go beyond the sense that the light is illuminating the darkness. An overall orientation of light is provided. We go further and say, “the sun is wonderful and gives us day, but how does it do it? How is it possible? So here your realize there is a power without limit that provides for it! I now see sunlight supported by an Unlimited Power! Otherwise the sun would dissipate.”
This is similar to how the body when the soul leaves it doesn't last. The soul had been refreshing it all the time. This is like the G-dly force that refreshes the sun continuously.
One can go further and say, “its a lie that the sun gives light! It is the G-dly power that gives light. The sunlight represents something beyond sun. Light from the sun is sechel – and we can see how we have it. But we come to the point of realizing that the light we have is beyond the sun. the sun is just camouflage.”
Why does He make a camouflage? Why create something that is not part and parcel of the world? You realize that the light is a G-dly element. Light is part and parcel of G-d's plan for the world. He put into the world something that cannot be understood from a worldly perspective.
This is a real world. Light cannot be explained by sechel at all. It is a joke to say it came from the sun.
Because of your soul you know there is a truth in this world way beyond sechel. In sechel we do not grasp the full impact. The point of light in the world is to enable us to recognize The Creator.
