The Rebbe is explaining that since each faculty is rooted in the essence, which has everything, thus in each faculty there are all the others included in it...

At a lower level the faculty shows its one specific attribute and the other elements are completely hidden.

It is easier for us to understand the 'reactive' than to grasp the 'essential', but our sechel/mind senses there is an essential reality – 'truth' that doesn't exclude anything.


We say the table is a convenience and we rest things on it, and then we go deeper and say it is not just 'convenient' it is 'human'. The world is his domain. This is kingship. So even though just an isolated convenience is seen (the table), yet it contains the essential human quality.

The fact that each faculty can relate to its opposite is based on a chalishut/weakness, that allows it to tolerate its opposite. When it is in its simple presence, then it is with tremendous power, but when the details are identified then the faculty 'weakens' to the extent the it is able to connect with its opposite.
