Class Thirty Nine in Section Four of Neshamos come

Neshamos are connected to Keilim (thought) (13). Beginning the discussion of אותיות החקיקה vs. אותיות הכתיבה. Speech and words are a great gift. They are also limiting because the subtleties of the thought and feeling cannot be put into words. Thought is a far more precise in carrying ideas than speech. [thought means A. thinking practically, B. thinking deliberately and to slow yourself down]. Above both of the above (speech and thought) is what is called אותיות עצמיים, where the words give out the essence as they are of the essence. The “In other words” analogy.
