The sechel from the essence, relates very closely to the soul – sechel is the primary nature of the nefesh – it seeks truth.
The seeking is not looking for something it doesn't have. The soul cleaves to the truth, and is one with it. It is not a metziut.
The sun gives off light without diminishing in power. There has to be a unlimited Power behind it that maintains it. We don't see that Power. So how do we relate to it? How is this an answer? This is an answer for sechel, since sechel is not limited to tangibility. It understands on the basis of truth and is not concerned that it cannot define the power.
Sechel drawn from koach hasechel ha-atzmi is one with truth. But truly it too has an element limit on a subtle level. Why do we say so? For although it is representing the essence, still the sechel that comes from essence has an element of limit. Sechel is a revelation as opposed to the essence itself.
