We
have been saying that the prohibitions have a higher source than the
positive commandments/mitzvoth.
In
the prohibitions there is subjugation that relates directly to 'my
Father in heaven'.
When
is darkness purified? It is only by means of a light that is its
counterpart...
The
darkness claims a place of reality. To counter this, there needs to
be a light that is more than functional. This is essence.
It
is due to the experience of darkness that we come to the level of
light that is essential.
How
do you subjugate yourself? This is from a recognition of Godly
presence. Godly presence in contrast to Godly purpose/goal. A
presence higher than purpose.
The
ability to clarify and perfect the animal soul, is exclusively in the
souls of Israel. The animal soul is at home in this world. And you
turn him from his own home...
This
is because souls are not captured by the worldly process/containment.
And they are rooted in essence.
Your
soul is rooted in essence. Wherever you go and whatever you do your
principle orientation is essence. No matter the degree of
involvement in world the soul will always remain aloof.

According
to the worldly process it is impossible for there to be this kind of
interelationship – the soul imbued in the body. The soul can
never be understood from a worldly perspective.
Think
of a table. It is a physical item, but it represents a spiritual and
human element. It is a leap from thought into physicality, but it
goes through a procedure till you travel from spirit down into a
wooded form... this is hishtalshalus. There is a natural
relationship between the concept and the form.
By
contrast it seems impossible that a higher spirit will be enclothed
in a physical body.
