This
section has been referring back to the metaphor, where we looked at
the faculties of the soul. The faculties are not the soul itself.
They are faculties with a functional design and desire.
The
relate to the body of the person and bring life to the various parts
of the body and bring life to the body.
The
soul itself could not be dressed into the body. These are faculties
– functioning elements from the soul.
Atzilus
is an emanaton, as opposed to a creation.
It
does not stand alone as do things in creation.
The
lower worlds are novel, with stand alone reality.
They
come from the Source, but they are given independence.
The
higher world of atzilus is not novel. It is a revelation of the
pre-existing (eternal) reality.
Atzilus
is actual Godliness.
Thought
and speech are close to each other, yet there is a fundamental
difference between them. Speech contains only what is in the mind
and heart, yet it is a 'stand alone' expression that is known
externally to the person – it is a new creation.
Thought
is also a great novelty, but by contrast it is internal to the
person.
Speech
does not happen automatically. Thought on the other hand is
'automatic' even though it has content and structure. Thought is a
direct flow from the internal experience of mind and emotions. It is
a direct flow, but it is a revelation.
This
is to give a handle to the principle of atzilus (which is little like
thought) and biya / the lower worlds (which are like speech).
A
man eats at a table. This is not just an afterthought. It is based
on the human stature – it is an essential element, revealed on a
functional level.
There
is a fundamental reality. A functional derivative comes through to
us in the form of sight.
If
you ask, 'how do you know?' you are blind. The reality is there.
