What Is Supervision with Reason?
There is “mind” (Mocha) and “heart” (Liba). Mind involves constant, purposeful supervision aimed at a specific goal, and assessing our states and experiences. It is like a critical mechanism that lets us observe ourselves from the outside. For instance, we might be immobilized, unable to act or think, yet still be aware of our state. Alternatively, we might be confused, unable to think clearly, yet still observe and recognize our confusion. Such an ability to view ourselves from the outside helps us learn who and what we are. If we adopt the Creator’s qualities, we begin to see ourselves from the Creator’s perspective. Gradually, we start identifying with the traits we acquired from the Creator, and view our own uncorrected traits as “Pharaoh,” an external force within us.
