Page 244. An interesting idea (understood בדרך אפשר) about seeing according to Chassidus and Torah: Every single creation has it’s own light; but the light doesn’t reach you (except by sunlight, which is why it is blinding), which is why seeing is not a חוש פנימי that transforms. The other חושים שמיעה ריח etc. are…

Page 243-4. The down side of חוש הראי’ה. Though it is very impactful it isn’t the Essence itself because it doesn’t change you. The other חושים are actually more פנימיות than seeing.

Page 242-3. Chushim, including Seeing don’t create a Yichud and have children [that means create change] but they set it up. Seeing affects desire. Seeing affects one’s ability to learn.

Page 293-5. כי קולך ערב. תורה has two opposites together. 1) תורה must be accompanied by תפילה and the רוח modulates it all. 2) תורה has the opposites within itself: The hard work is תפילה; The presence of G-d in the Torah is תורה; and הלכה is רוח that modulates.

Page 294. This is רצוי ושוב in one place. The idea that רוח moderates אש and מים creating רצוי ושוב and is thus higher even than אש. In effecting this, it reveals the עצמות of אין סוף, כי לא אדם into השתלשתלות, which is how He who is above seeing and hearing is brought to…
