Eureka, I Think I Got It

AAaaaaaah. Feelgoodfeelgood feel good. Well, one problem solved. Or at least articulated... but that in itself is enough to let me breathe.

This is what I want and haven't had in too long.

הנה כל שכל כשמשכיל ומשיג בשכלו איזה מושג, הרי השכל תופס את המושכל ומקיפו בשכלו
When any intellect perceives and understands some intellectual subject, the mind grasps that subject and encompasses it,

והמושכל נתפס ומוקף ומלובש בתוך השכל שהשיגו והשכילו
and the subject is grasped and encompassed by, and is clothed within, the intellect that understood and perceived it.

Ya, I'm talking to myself.

I don't get it; "when you know something, your mind wraps around it"? That's not really saying anything...

Oh, I think I get it now, you're saying your knowledge of most things is usually not comprehensive and encompassing, but now you're happy because you have perceived something to it's full extent. ok..

Er, no. I won't explain the post, but I'll be happy to explain the quote later.

Hey. I just checked the link (a little late, I know), and I can't find it! Is it in the הסכמות, or the הקדמה or something?
