T21 (Tinyana) PNC - Innovating Torah — Guarding by Poskim Before and After

When Rebbe Nachman renews a true insight in Torah, hostile spiritual forces (the 'known watchers') lie in wait to ambush it. The protection is to flank the new idea with the legal ranks (poskim) — to study the practical halachic deciders both before drawing the chiddush down and after it has emerged. Then the chiddush descends safely 'between two columns of valor,' guarded front and rear by Torah-law itself, so no foreign element can approach.
