“Soul Light” p:5/4

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel, Shvat 5775 


Page 5 of pamphlet, Page 4 in the book (line begins: 'kuli...') For text see below.

We said sechel/mind that is dressed in other faculties is not the real essence of sechel. In the head the sechel is imbued in the actual material of the brain.

The very truth and essence of the sechel – to conceptualize all matters of sechel and chochmah/wisdom...

the essence of human life is in that comprehension. The human being cannot live simply because he touches something in the world. Things have to have a meaning. Beyond function one senses one's identity and purpose in the sechel/mind.

The vitality is from the soul. It cannot enliven the person directly in the body. To do this the soul has to work via the faculties.


We have discussed the difference between creatures of the sea and those of the land. Sea creatures don't stand. On the land creatures stand. That calls for a self cognizance and that is in the sechel.

Physicality per se does not bring you into the reality of the world. Think of a guest and a host. We all sense that even if the lunch is great, but the host leaves, then the guest is left with nothing. The presence of the host is the ohr/light...  The food is the tangible manifestation.  The significance, and not the tangible presence is what makes it acceptable to the human being. The human being can only acknowledge the presence of something that is real. This is the light of the soul as it translates in the sechel/mind.

The moach/brain is miraculously sensitive to this intangible reality.
