Faculties and Desire

Ayin Beis Volume 1, Discourse 13, Chapter 49 p. 85-88

Short Summary: The difference between the immanent energy, which is only a reflection that manifests differently in each level, and the transcendent energy, which is an essential force that is equal everywhere, is like the difference between the faculties and desire: the faculties are defined entities outside of the essential soul each with its own distinct function, while desire has no distinct identity and function, and only reflects the soul's inclinations.
