Have this in mind: we discussed the natural soul that has an explanation for everything and has preferences based on its own experiences.

The Godly soul does not have its own experiences. It is Godliness.

Within that truth of only knowing Godliness it can then 'experience', and draw from 'sight' and 'hearing', but it sees and hears exclusively elokus/Godliness.

The delight that it has in the various 'senses', though they are subsets of the intial reality, draw from the reality of the soul.

A Godly pleasure in the words of Torah is not based on understanding and experience. It is delight based solely on the fact that this is 'the words of God'.

Likewise there is an element of delight/tynug in every aspect of the physical world, including inanimate, organic and animal levels...

For example the delight in the inanimate level – that is found in the various precious metals and stones; and the delight in the plant life that we identify in produce and fruit; and the delight in the entire animal kingdom...

In all these levels is the element of delight/tynug.

This is of great significance. If we can identify this delight/oneg that is contained in the physical then it is the complete opposite of the 'worldly' view. The secular view is lifeless and strips the delight out of all levels and proposes that everything is a reaction... Everything has a Godly vitality and this gives it a real presence.
