Ratzon/will provides the background for reality.

In the contemporary world 'will' is capricious. But this is not the will/ratzon of which we talk. We are talking of 'will' being a Godly reality.

The statement that 'everything wants to survive' is devoid of any meaning... the truth is things want to be in the world because this is Godly reality.

For us ratzon may mean, 'I want' due to personal reasons... but here ratzon means the truth and relating to reality.

World knows nothing of Godliness. And the soul knows nothing but Godliness. And the sechel/mind joins the two. By means of sechel the soul guides the world and the body.

Sechel/mind compels by identifying the correct meaning of everything.

At the higher level of ratzon/will there are no separate items to identify and compel. Ratzon cannot relate to the world practically.

The correct identification is at the level of ratzon. The novelty is that all these things are created.

Ratzon is the real vitality of the soul. A human being is not a slave to the world. He brings a new light to the world. The world does not tell him who he is. And how does he do this? He was given the task by the Creator to bring true meaning into the world...

Ratzon translates on the 'soul in the body' level as the realization, when looking at the world and identifying its mission as saying, 'oh, that's why I came here!'

The soul wants to work in the world, not for the sake of worldliness but for the sake of revealing Godliness that it, itself did not have before...

Sechel/mind is based on an arousal of the will/ratzon. This is will/ratzon in an active state. Sechel/mind comes from here. Sechel has no access to ratzon/will in its innate state.

You have His presence in your soul. A Godly presence. It is innate. The arousal is the identification with the mission the soul has been given. Sechel comes from here.

So too in overall existence, and the Rambam says, 'know that there is a First Being', and He's first, preceding the world. So too in the human being, there is a first will, that is innate – He blew it into you. It is part of the Giver. Then there is arousal of the will which is a distinct soul/nefesh element.

This arousal is when he has a mission to be of influence.

For the human being everything is internal. Unless he gives up.

The ratzon/will is the basis for the sechel/mind.

This is hard to understand and cannot be overstated in terms of its significance and importance. Sechel without ratzon is instinct! This is the animal level. It is not sechel that talks of an inherent reality. It is just based on encounter.

The basis of sechel is due to the fact that the sechel is involved in reality itself.

The secular world tries to drain you of your vitality. The world is not discovered when you encounter it. The world preceded you and your soul was sent into you body to come into the world with a mission.

The more responsibilities one has the better. He lives up to them. This is not a matter of getting honor. This is due to being involved in something real.

If I am not interested in the world, then 'nothing is right', but if my ratzon/will is engaged it is different... The ratzon brings the world with it from the nefesh/soul. Nefesh/soul is Godly. It doesn't need to be justified.

The essence of novelty is in the will/ratzon. You are given a soul mission. And there are levels of will and getting acclimated to the mission...

You are a soul sent into the world, and at least initially, your mission is not clear. At that early stage, your ratzon/will is not yours in the sense that you have not yet identified it... So your ratzon is timeless, but it has a view to come into a world of time and space... and this is the novelty.

The essence of a person's presence is the ratzon/will.

The sechel's/mind's compelling nature is from the ratzon/will.

Take something simple like 1+1=2. there as to be a ratzon element to it, or the 2 would be an anomaly. Take it down to an animal level – he doesn't know 2, he just knows the '1' he is busy with. So 2 is acceptable to sechel due to the ratzon/will, which is the background.

Ratzon is on a totally different level. It relates to the terrain. It identifies for the person the broad reality.

Survival is a non-existent factor. Chassidus brings out that each thing persists due to the mission it has in the entire existence.

Ratzon gives a person the sense of the reality of where he is. And then all that exists in this reality is real.

This is the human experience. So thus all that he encounters falls into place. Everything has a place. The ratzon says, 'don't be so shocked, this is God's creation, there is no limit to the variety'.

Sechel by itself does not create anything. The essence of novelty is the ratzon/will.

Ratzon says everything must be real. I have to live in a world that is real. Ratzon pushes the sechel to make sense.
