The
feet are activated by 'getting to the destination', but the feet have
no conception of this level.
Breathing
does not take place by your initiative, but because life is being
breathed into you.
The
sechel is trying to understand something that is not within its realm
and thus will say things that are contradictory.
Sechel/mind
is uniquely human – it does not exist in any other creature – it
is in the world, but it is not world based. It is not built on
worldly parameters. It is based on nefesh/soul. And this is the
meaning of 'I understand' – it means, 'I hear what the soul is
telling me'. I cannot get to it by experimentation.
In
atzilus there are vessels, but they are without limit. A human being
is a metaphor for this. God said he would make a human being and
that he would 'reflect Us' – the way it is above. So the human is
both a creation and Godly.
Even
though the vessels are without limitation in the world of atzilus,
nevertheless, even as the vessels are in atzilus they have the aspect
of midot/emotions and kochot/faculties, and they are not the soul
itself.
