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.
