The two souls are equal but opposite. In the last class, we contrasted the עצם of the two souls. This week we contrasted the כחות (tools) of the two souls. The כחות (tools) are needed to make the infinite soul functional in a world with more than themselves in it. The faculties allow for compromise and discussion and so on. In the G-dly soul the mind is the first tool to be employed followed by the heart. In the animal soul it is the heart that asserts itself and the mind is rationalizing what the heart desires.
