At about a quarter from the end of the page – (line begins: "gilui...”) For text, click: Here.

We are looking at the way that the creations are created by the effect of the union of chochmah and bina, and although it is called a spiritual union, which does not provide essence, rather it provides a reflection, yet creations do seem to have their own presence. Angels comprehend Godliness to some extent.

And this is due to the connection to their own source.

For example a rooster crows, since it is a reflection of the angel Michoel calling the souls up above... and the rooster remains unaware...

All understanding of Godliness here below is due to the creature below having an affect from its own source...

A side question: If something is true, why could the student not come to it himself? Why the need to hear it from his master? The table as we encounter it is just a physical structure and as such lacks any true presence. But there is a spirit and idea that brought it to be, and when you recognize that then it becomes real. The table never becomes an entity unto itself.

The human intellect perceives a real entity. Not just a board with legs. But a real spirit.

In the physical world we come to identify the table by touching it and seeing how it is built.

This 'structured entity' can never become a real presence. This is due to the way I 'found out about it'. It will never become a real thing. It will only become real if it is seen to represent the human spirit that is not a structure.

As you delve into what a table is, you see that it is beyond convenience, but rather it is a human necessity. And now you are reaching to something that is essentially real. When you go to the human experience then the table is non-existent as its own entity, it exists only in relation to the human being.

Anything you find via a process is not real in and of itself. Only that given from above by the master has a reality.
