External
mind/sechel is just the garments of sechel. It lacks depth and inner
aspects.
Think
of a table. It is a physical presence and yet it is representative
of the depth of the human being. The human spirit is representative
of the Godly spirit. Yet one may think a table was invented to
answer a need - 'I was holding a cup and needed a place to put it
down'. This is sechel dressed in garments.
It
is an intellectual perception, that 'I don't have to hold everything.
I am in a wider context and I can place things on a table'. The
human being is always thinking 'outside the box'. He has soul
thinking and is placed by God in a wide world. His thinking is not
reactive.
The
human being has in his soul the sense that he belongs here. He
perceives everything as having a Godly presence. He reveals the
Godly purpose of each thing. The human reality is so real, that it
extends to the objects that he uses.
Once
you lose sense of the inner depth of each sechel you can keep
slipping till you deny the soul and say there is no such thing as a
human being, and that he evolved from a monkey and his thought are
just electronic impulses focused on survival!
In
the Temple was a table. It had four legs.
It
is the soul not the hand that really feels the utility and comfort of
having a table.
It
is impossible to bring the depth of sechel/mind into representation.
This is because it cannot be limited to defined language.
