We are looking at a paradox.
We have been looking at essence. This essence is in its own fundamental truth beyond even the potential for expressing itself.
Things exist in a context. Essence is beyond context.
Objects exist in a context and contribute to the context in which they exist. Also the objects are defined by their context…
If you have an independent entity it is above the context and does not affect it. The soul is an essence, but it expresses itself in a body. Why? This is a paradox. The essence is above this expression.
The soul’s true presence is not dependent on its effect on the environment.
The First Being is not a response to anything. The soul has cognizance of the First Being and cleaves to Him.
So how does life and light come from the soul?!
Everything that exists on a superficial level is based on the fundamental level.
