Truth has no beginning.  It has no element of ‘where this came from…’

A scientist may think they can understand things from a worldly perspective.  

The Rambam says, Hashem is moving the spheres with His infinite power.  This cycle indicates a divine phenomenon. 

Our understanding emanates from that which we truly are.  We have an infinity/truth quality in us.  Then it comes down to our conscious level - this is not the reality itself.  

At the level of consciousness there is coachman/wisdom, binah/understanding and daas/verification.  

“Sense of Self; True Sailing” p74

“In truth life and being a human being is beyond our understanding.  we are constantly being shown what it is.  it is a gift from Him.  And we say, ‘we want it’.  This ‘will to live’ is our accepting the gift.”

P 74 [of the new pamphlet] 4th line from end of the page, at the line starting “atom…”.  [P 55 of the book]

A  sense of self [hergesh atzmi] is a divine gift.  Each person is individually created and given a neshamah/soul - and given the will to pursue his purpose in live… without this you lack the sense that you are created. 

In truth life and being a human being is beyond our understanding.  we are constantly being shown what it is.  it is a gift from Him.  And we say, ‘we want it’.  This ‘will to live’ is our accepting the gift. 

Life is not worldly.  It is from Him.  He gives life all the time.  That’s why there’s an interaction - the dawn calls us to come and participate.  

So the essential midot/emotions of a man are a Godly gift.  He cannot obtain it through any process - it is imbued in him by the Creator.

“Sense Yourself; Everything Justified” p74

“Real sensing of yourself is the actualization that you are a Godly creation.”

P 74 [of the new pamphlet] lower quarter of the page, at the line starting “shemargish…”.  [P 55 of the book]

In emotions the element of vessel/keili is much more obvious than in sechel/mind. 

Real sensing of yourself is the actualization that you are a Godly creation.  [This is in contrast to the ego perspective.]  The creation comes after His will to reveal itself… this is the basic presence within which everything exists.  

This divine will justifies all of existence. 

This is like an invited guest at the wedding.

You are important.  You are invited.  You are created.  You are an actual participant.  It is a fine, true sense of self.  

Sense of self [hergash atzmi] is not a response to pain - it is a positive.  It is based on the fact that is life is dear to him [and not just reactive]. 

Your soul is dear to you because it is a divine gift.  Your fundamental  relationship to God Himself.  It has inherent value.  Life is dear to you.  This is why you want everything that is good for the soul.  

Because you value life, you identify a path in life.  You don’t want to be lost in the world, you want to proceed along a healthy path, because your soul is dear to you.

In the video below Rabbi Ginsburgh develops the point seen inside today's class - that your "sense of self" is a key part of your service and development... and he relates it to this week's Torah portion: Bemidbar...

“Invested Infinity” p74

“Sechel/mind looks for the point.  It is a soul expression.  It is limitless and has its own truth… It is not defined by world…”

P 74 [of the new pamphlet] lower third of the page, at the line starting “be-zachut…”.  [P 55 of the book]

The emphasis here is the vessels - not the light.  The differences in the light is due to the vessels!

The light becomes internal - it is this way by design - to become invested in a vessel - embracing it and relating to it fully…

Due to this quality the vessel reveals the various elements that can be revealed from the light. 

In chochmah the vessel is so fine that the light has brilliance…  

Sechel/mind looks for the point.  It is a soul expression.  It is limitless and has its own truth… It is not defined by world…

A child as a feeling of his own identity - his identity as it is given to him by God… He wants to be himself, but not independent of the truth.  There is only one true being - Him - the Source.  And we have our own identity in His presence, not in isolating ourselves on a rocket ship to nowhere…!

“Soul Truth” p74

“Sechel is true because the soul is true.  It is then expressed into a the realm of definition and examples and manifestations, but the one learning it, realizes it is his sechel/mind, and he delves back into it saying, ‘what does this mean to me?’  And the point becomes ‘my truth’.”

P 74 [of the new pamphlet] nearing middle of the page, at the line starting “yoter…”.  [P 55 of the book]

In wisdom/chochmah you have the point…  and there’s no identifiable presence.  When this is developed the content becomes manifest.  At this lower level the subtly of the point is lost.

Sechel is telling you the truth of the soul.  It is a soul expression into world.  the motivation is the soul not the world.  This is why the sechel has a fine quality - dalit - it is the impact of the essence.  This refinement is lost as it become manifest in the world.  it goes from being an inference to being a ‘thing’.  

Sechel is true because the soul is true.  It is then expressed into a the realm of definition and examples and manifestations, but the one learning it, realizes it is his sechel/mind, and he delves back into it saying, ‘what does this mean to me?’  And the point becomes ‘my truth’. 

This the nekudah hatamzit - a resulting point, that is both personal and effective - the point has become a guiding light… 

And then the light and the refinement shines back in.  

You understand based on soul truth, rather than on experience.  The refinement of the light returns…!

This is the state where the development of bimah/knowledge returns to ein/nothing/infinity. 

The light of chochmah shines in bimah.
