When there’s a ’settled understanding’ this is due to the soul.
And the insight is obscured when you try to approach it by means of a ‘logical process’.
One needs both: a) the logical process, and b) the settled soul truth. The logical structure is supported by the truth element.
And the details substantiate the point of truth.
Notes from Michoel Pais:
10 Kislev Shiur Map
[Missing first few minutes]
Hanocho Sichlis - recognizing the principle truth.
After understanding all the details, he refreshes the initial hanocho sichlis. This resolves all contradictions and gives real support to what he sees. “Ahha, this is what its all about”
Full comprehension - grasping in a metsius level, in a worldly presence.
The sense of truth supports that which is graspable.
Initially, he has an insight in Chochmah.
Chochmah is completely above Seichel. It is the truth directly as it comes from the nefesh.
This chochmah expresses itself in nekudas haseichel. A point which lacks elaboration, but it tells him that “there is a point of seichel”
This point needs to be explained what's contained in it!
He goes and dives in. This is bnah entering into chochmah.
However, at this point : [to fully understand isn’t possible, yet it begins to make sense. This is called hanocho haNefesh. Because the whole chochmah originated from the nefesh.
! THe worldly process always requires a principle truth.
It makes sense that in order to reach a certain destination, one has to go through a certain number of steps. Although, they seem inadvertent!
Metsad chochmah, I want to be There already.
Yet, going through the steps themselves, feels and seems part of reality!
As he goes through the “steps” within binah, he loses trace of the original truth. He begins to attribute everything to the steps, rather than his initial insight.
Now, he must revisit that original insight, and this gives him support to the whole structure! The structure no longer obscures the hanocho sichlis, rather, it supports and brings out the whole phenomena.
Ex: Process of building a chair. 4 legs. Board. All made individually and attached. Each have a principle reality to them! This ultimately comes to a house.
Chochah. ---> Nekudas ha haskolo. ----> Hasogo d’bina.
Here, the details don’t obscure the total reality!
Ex: Home consists of several rooms. These rooms Compliment the home! THey don’t obscure what it is. They bring out the truth of what a home is.
Ex: Dining room furniture. The furniture don’t obscure what the dining room really is, rather, they bring it out!
Hanocho gets lost in the protim. The details become so adamant, they claim that everything is due to the structure! The details!
“Lost in the details”
Ex: chair. All the details. Just for comfort?
Lose trace of Hanocho b’nefesh! A Nefesh truth.
If it was just comfort, it would make no difference where the chair is, and where it is placed. Rather, we know that there is a deeper human element present there! Kavod, true sense of self.
While you are involved in hanocho hanefesh? Can’t bring yourself to bang a nail in!
Ex: a Mohel asked the Rebbe Rashab what kavana he should have when he does the bris mila. The Rebbe Rashab answered him to “gut obshneidem!”. Make a good, straight cut.
Hanocho b’nefesh is not self created. It is that which was granted me by the Creator of the world. As such, it gives a sense that there is value to the whole creation. And that your place in this creation is to reveal and to enhance ITS value. Not your own value, but value of the whole creation.
“What is the truth behind it?”
Details substantiate the point.
At some point, the details will obscure the sense. At that point, it all doesn’t make sense (what its about). (when going through the details). Must stop and ask, what brought me here? What is this all about? Revisits the hanocho sichlis. It then illuminates and brings value to the whole structure.
Hasogo b’bina - where BINAH understands the truth of it! There is no separation! THere is a structure, and That’s how it has to be!
It is when you understand the depth and richness contained in the Chochmah, and you understand it in your own seichel. = Hasogo b’binah.
Ex; i make a step. Currently, only occupy the space where my foot is.
Am i standing in this space, or in the entire earth? All I need is a space.
In hasogo d’binah : yes, yu only need this space. But in order to stand firmly in this place, you need the sense that you are part of the whole world.
Macro-situation example ^, Same principle brought out in many situations.
A bed in a street, is not a bed! Can lie down, but is still not a bed!
A person will rest better at home on a cot, than in a comfort mattress in a hotel!
Re’iah d’Chochmah. Used here to alert us of what Hanocho sichlis provides.
Chochma is like sight.
Ex: Labyrinth of streets. One leads to another, and another, etc, ultimately, it can bring you to your destination. However, just by following directions, you won’t have a sense of reality.
But if you have an overview, you saw how the streets all interrelate, and how ave A leds into ave B, etc, etc, you see the whole design and map of it clearly, then even when you are within the labyrinth of streets, you still have a sense of reality. This reality is completely above hasogo.
It is true that one leads to another. But if you have the complete view, you do not go “through” the streets, you see the whole time, the proximity of point A (departure) to point B (where you are going). The whole journey, you are approaching it in a whole different way than blindly following directions. They are/were related to one another originally, initially, on a much higher level!
Hanocho hanefesh provides this sense.
