Will is the miracle quality that activates all the abilities of the soul… The mind functions only by the drive of the will/ratzon.
It is the will that gives the mind a broader perspective. It calls to him to go into the unknown - to go beyond what he now understands.
The faculties and limbs are not created by the will/ratzon.
From Above: the creation of the world is the force of the will/ratzon.
Sight is like wisdom/mind on a physical level.
We understand because we want to understand. We see because we want to see.
Sight is not forced on us - we are drawn to the view - we see not just due to the faculty of sight, but because ration/will is presenting it to us - “look, here’s something real and significance”.
Will/ratzon says, “this view belongs to us, and we belong to it”. By will/ratzon we are unified with reality.
Will/ratzon identifies what we should want. It says life and its experiences are important.
Will/ratzon identified importance on the divine level - essential level.
If not for our sense of the significance of existence we would not be curious about what we see.
