Why is the soul called nefesh sichlit (intellectual soul), as if intellect is a primary qualifier of the soul?

This is because the effect of the essential sechel/mind (as opposed to the level of mind that is involved with 'problem solving') is the aspect of delight in the soul. The platform of essential sechel/mind is different – it is the delight of the soul.

Tynug is delight/pleasure. Here we are talking of delight that has no cause, nor arrousal. It is essential. The paramaters of world are time and space – non-essential. Essence and soul are truths beyond world. World cannot understand what nefesh/soul is – it is a Godly reality.


Tynug/delight and life go 'hand in hand'.

Life is a Godly gift to the living – it cannot be transmitted. Life cannot be reduced to any components. It does not consist of electronic impulses.

A human being has life in the essential state. A moment of life is an eternity. This is essential delight (tynug atzmi). There is true presence and meaning in this life.

Delight is a statement that the soul is real and the sechel/mind is what reveals it. They are one and the same. There is essential delight and essential mind. There is nothing that arouses it.

A human being makes no sense from an 'evolutionary' perspective. Yes, humans are an anomoly, since they do not belong and fit in a natural explanation. A human makes his own reality since he has a true tynug.

Delight and chochmah/wisdom are basically the same, even though on the surface they are different. The essential delight is the presence of the soul.
