== Revelation to Oneself ==

Generally, when a person speaks, it is to reveal something to another person outside of himself. However, there are also times when a person speaks to reveal something to himself, even though usually his intellect and thought are sufficient. This speech is not for others, and is at a higher level than speech to another, therefore another who hears will not understand his words.

Yet, this speech too is a matter of lowering and descent, since the light of intellect in thought is finer and more spiritual than as it is clothed in speech; to the extent that the inner dimension of intellect cannot be revealed in speech at all.

This concept provides an explanation for why we find the concept of speech in the highest levels such as [[Adam Kadmon]], and even Malchut of Ein Sof. But in Malchut, this "speech" refers to speech - revelation to oneself, not to another (Heaven forbid)<ref>Likutei Torah Additions to Sefer Vayikra 52d and onwards.</ref>.
