Shamati 118. To Understand the Matter of the Knees that Have Bowed to Baal

Reading Shamati 118. (00:08) “To Understand the Matter of the Knees….”  - Twice

1.S.(06:50) How do I come to cover this evil inclination with the cover of love? Can I fight it correctly to cover it with love?

R. Yes. That's what we need to do. What is he telling us? If you have a choice, it's good. Then you need to enter into the choice and to choose faith, and although by this you are seemingly, mainly considered a woman you did it correctly. If you go against that then you can come to a higher degree called a man of war. Then you come to knowing, to the intellect, knowledge and that's considered that you become from a woman to Baal, a husband, and that's how we advance. Each and every degree has the degree of Baal and the degree of woman, first the wife, then the husband, wife, then husband. That's how we ascend, it has nothing to do with the way we gender division between us where one's a guy and one's a girl, but rather it depends on the extent one can choose on his own how to go. 

2. S (09:12) Why despite the fact that I'm clearly seeing the greatness of the Creator I still have to choose to go above reason? 

R. How do you see the greatness of the Creator? I don't know Turkish, but if you don't know Russian or Hebrew, we have a problem? How do you know the greatness of the Creator? 

S. I don't. I can't see the greatness of the Creator. As a matter of fact, the question that I want to ask is, do we strive to see the greatness of the Creator, or simply continue on the path, even though we can't see the greatness of the Creator?

R. Even if we don't see the Creator, we need to depict Him and to go according to His laws and then we will come closer to Him. Okay? 

3. S. (11:58) How can basically a person say that he definitely clearly can define the greatness of the Creator is basically impossible that his greatness is unreachable, and we can only guess.

R. Yes, you are right. You are right.

S. It's not very clear what this manly quality means.

R. I didn't understand.

S. So there's a feeling that we're constantly women that we cannot measure it, we cannot make this choice to go above it.

R. No, no. You are becoming a woman or a husband depending on your choice, where each time, which appears before you each time, and this is how all of us, both men and women in our bodies become women or husbands spiritually in relation and in the dependence on our choice. Do you understand? Think about that, think about that and you will see that that's exactly how it happens in us, and what we see before us a man and a woman that is still not saying anything. Okay?

4. S. (13:44) What if when I engage in the war of choice and I lose in the field that I lose, what do I do then?

R. You'll get a hint of what to do. Simply connect with the friends and continue forward. 

5. S. (14:10) It is written here that the knees that bow to Baal, there's a paradox. Can you help us, can you help us find the right direction? 

R. Repeat it I didn't get you. 

S. In this term the knees that bow to Baal, there's a paradox. Can you help us understand it in the right way?

R. Repeat.

S. On one hand, it says that we feel the knowledge and we don't have to connect to it, so exactly what to do?

R. We need to adhere in reason, and then rise above reason to advance onward. That's our work.

S. I would like to ask a question connected to the Creator in the previous article, May I? To tell the neighbor so that he'll have peace, the previous article was about the main war.

R. Maybe send in the question. [No translation]

6. S. (17:09) It seems like that on the other hand, I'm suffering, and I'm not connected to what we study. We have to mobilize our strength of unity, but there's a certain blur that I feel how do we correct this state? How do I connect really because I see the bigger part of me is with my nation no matter if I want it or not?

R. I agree with you and today I was also perplexed as to why they chose these two articles. There's nothing in relation to what we are going through and we also don't understand these articles and we also cannot without their help be assisted in some way. I hope that they will correct themselves and for tomorrow we will get Articles that are more in context to our state and more correct.

S. I'm sure that if we have received the Articles there's a reason. How can we now make an effort in the minutes that are left and execute this connection between us?

R. We can make the connection between us without any context of whether we're getting the right article or not. Let's try to make a connection between us, above all that we learn and read and talk, very simply a connection from heart to heart. We will do that, and this is how we will advance towards the triumph over our evil inclination and our enemies and anything. Okay? 

7. S. (19:27) There are two discernments concerning faith, and in number four he writes, “He has a way to know His greatness with utter certainty,” so, what is the difference in going forward in faith and what is the difference in going forward with knowing in this case?

R. It's an immense huge difference because if we go in the matter, the way of faith, our vessel is unlimited, completely. Whereas if we go in the way of knowing we are limiting our vessel greatly to the extent in which we ourselves are capable of being. That's why it is of great benefit for us to enter faith and not knowledge, and from there we will take forces and advance.

8. S. (21:23) If I follow the direction a person sometimes goes back to the point of shame and to make a choice from shame. I determine it as a choice from knowledge, but there's a quote that a person is ready for war like a male quality where he wants to jump out and has ground to stand and its faith above reason and sometimes you have to make yourself sometimes you cannot, is it correct?

R. Yes, yes, it's possible, it's not bad. Nevertheless, later you'll be taken out to where you need to be taken out to. 

9. S. (22:34) We are not able to understand the greatness of the Creator. If we use our hearts before including everything with faith, do we get closer to Him or not?

R. Yes, we're nevertheless advancing. I just want to say one thing here. Whatever effort we make, even an unsuccessful effort, we are nevertheless advancing by it. We learn from it. That's why, don't think that our efforts are getting lost, clear? Wonderful. So, thank you very much to everyone and especially to our women, we will see you tomorrow, and let's hope that we will learn from some juicy articles. Thank you very much to everyone.
